Models recommended for public involvement in environmental planning call for: 1) early and full involvement with technical planners from the start, 2) involvement at an intermediate phase once technical planners have developed a short list of the most feasible alternatives, and 3) later involvement only by ratification of the one alternative selected and developed by technical planners. The present study reports results assessing public involvement in planning at the intermediate phase using results from three general population surveys of the greater San Diego area done in 1989, 1990, and 1991 which dealt with municipal water reuse alternatives. Feasibility of the intermediate approach was demonstrated by correspondence between survey and technical planning evaluations and by consistency between and within survey findings.

AbstractIn National Gerimedical Hospital and Gerontology Center v. Blue Cross of Kansas City, the United States Supreme Court held that there is no blanket exemption from antitrust laws for health planning activities.‘The Court also held that no specific immunity can be granted where the challenged health planning activity is not undertaken pursuant to a federal regulatory scheme. This Comment reviews the Court’s decision and concludes that the Court correctly determined that the challenged activities did not qualify for an exemption. The Comment also examines the implications of the Court's statement that, where Congress has manifested a belief that competition is ineffective in the health care industry, application of the antitrust laws should be modified. The Comment recommends that an intermediate review standard such as the “presumptive, incentive modifying approach” should be used by future courts in deciding whether the ineffectiveness of competition in a given area of health planning activity warrants immunity from antitrust scrutiny.

Despite evidence of the growing ethnic diversity of British cities and its impact on urban governance, the issue of racial equality in UK planning remains marginal, at best, to mainstream planning activity. This paper uses Critical Race Theory to consider the reasons why the ‘race’ and planning agenda continues to stall. Critical Race Theory, it is argued, offers a compelling account of why changes in practice over time have been patchy at best, and have sometimes gone into reverse.

LABURPENA: Hirigintza-jardueraren garrantziak argi erakusten du administrazioaren diziplinazko esku-hartzea beharrezkoa dela. Baina esku-hartze hori administrazioaren jardueraren berri ematen duten printzipioek bideratu behar dute. Printzipioon artean legaltasunekoak, segurtasun juridikokoak eta proportzionaltasunekoak nabarmenduko ditugu jarraian. Proportzionaltasun printzipioa hirigintzako zaharberritze arloan aplikatzeak balio dezake administrazioaren jarduera arrazionaltasunez eta justiziaz hornitzeko arauaren aplikazio zorrotzen aurrean, baita praktikan konplexuak diren egoerak konpontzeko ere. Baina beharrezkoa da hori aplikatzeko suposizioak eta eskakizunak hobeto arautzea, segurtasun juridikoa ez dadin ahuldu eta ez dadin erabili legez kontrako jarduerak justifikatzeko tresna gisa. RESUMEN: La trascendencia de la actividad urbanística no deja lugar a dudas sobre la necesidad de la intervención administrativa disciplinaria. Pero tal intervención ha de estar orientada por los principios que informan la actuación administrativa, de los que, concretamente, resaltamos ahora los de legalidad, seguridad jurídica y proporcionalidad. La aplicación del principio de proporcionalidad en el ámbito restaurador urbanístico puede servir para dotar de racionalidad y justicia a la actuación administrativa frente a la estricta aplicación de la norma y dar solución a situaciones complejas en la práctica, pero es necesaria una mejor regulación de los supuestos y requisitos para su aplicación a fin de evitar que la seguridad jurídica se vea resentida y que sea utilizado como instrumento para justificar ilegalidades. ABSTRACT: The importance of town-planning activity is beyond doubt about the need of the disciplinary administrative intervention. But that intervention has to be directed by the principles which rule the administrative action, among which, we specifically highlight the principle of legality, legal certainty and proportionality. The application of the principle of proportionality in the town-planning urban sphere can be suitable for providing the administrative action with rationality and fairness against the strict application of the norm and so give answer to complex situations, but it is necessary a better regulation of the facts and conditions for its application so as to avoid to damage legal certainty and that it is used as a tool for justifying illegalities.
