The politics of the planning process issues in land use planning in Indiana

This paper reviews the policy dimensions of land use planning in Indiana, and examines problems with implementing a state wide land use policy. Areas of particular concern for state land use planning are investigated, including agricultural land management, critical area management, and control of large scale development. Land use planning is looked at as an area involving local concerns as -well as many concerns with political factors to be considered at each level. Political roles of many different interest groups are examined, ranging from environmentalists to pro-development, and it is shown how these roles interact in shaping a policy. Specific land use tools are outlined and the author discusses the reasons why, in his opinion, it will be very difficult for Indiana to implement any true form of statewide land use policy. / Department of Urban Planning
