Spatial planning plays an important role in cropland protection, but its effectiveness is often questioned in the face of ongoing urban and infrastructure growth. Moreover, methods to assess the effectiveness of spatial planning are lacking. In Switzerland, the revision of the national spatial planning act in 2014 was a new starting point for stricter prescriptions on urban development. We assessed whether the new regulations would better protect dedicated prime cropland from conversion to urban areas using land-use suitability models and land-use scenarios. The findings show that with the planning according to the revised planning act, the potential consumption of prime cropland for new urban areas is six times smaller than that occurring through extrapolation of the observed trend in urban development over the past 25 years. However, scenario modeling suggests that, still, more prime cropland will be converted into urban areas than necessary, and that it may be difficult to protect prime cropland to the extent mandated by the Swiss prime cropland protection policy. We have developed an approach to a priori evaluate spatial planning measures. However, the strict implementation of these planning measures will be needed in order to maintain prime cropland to a level required for agricultural self-sufficiency and food security.

Culture has a very important essence in people's lives. Values that lead to culture seem to be the “breath” for the survival of society. A well-developed culture that can be viewed from both physical and non-physical aspects inherited from generation to generation becomes a tradition that has strong local wisdom. Yet along with its development, its existence may undergo a shift. This condition may exist because of the presence of other cultures that intentionally brought by or unintentionally emerge along with the presence of immigrants. This study aims to identify the shifts of cultural values of the people in Prawirotaman Village, especially in the aspect of community economic activities, through several stages such as: (1) Mapping changes in residential spatial planning in Prawirotaman Village; (2) Exploring economic activities changes in Prawirotaman Village. The results of the study indicate a change in governance and use of land in Prawirotaman Village. This change indeed has implications to socio-economic activities and most particularly to economic or livelihood system.

This article evaluates the effects of urbanization on the land use within the Chisinau agglomeration. The research carried out regarding situation in Stăuceni commune, confirms that the peri-urban area, undergoes a period of significant spatial and functional transformation, influenced by the demographic pressure, poorly controlled urban development and the intensification of the land relations. By implementing the project “Chisinau Arena” on the territory of Stăuceni commune, the plan for territorial expansion of Chisinau city (in peri-urban areas located on major transport axes) is reconfirmed. At the same time, the demographic forecast presented in scenario III, according to UN for population, shows that the Chisinau population will decrease dramatically, towards 2035, therefore it is necessary that the spatial planning plans to be adapted quickly to the pace of demographic changes, to avoid compromising the infrastructure projects and squandering land in the suburban areas.

Abstract Historically, water bodies were gradually conditioned by unsustainable spatial planning practices, which led to conflicting and fragmented relationships between urban development and water dynamics. Streams and springs are more vulnerable to urban interventions and less identified as protagonists of urban structuring than rivers. However, they present the potential to guide urban development regarding their broad capillarity, easy manipulation and close relationship with urban fabrics, especially in developing country fast-urbanisation reality. Also, there is a demand for more holistic and practical approaches regarding water dynamics and urban development alternatives that can add value to water-centred initiatives focused on water management. This article proposes a methodological framework focused on formulating systemic spatial planning strategies (land-use and urban design guidelines) based on streams’ and springs’ spatially and functionally biophysical dynamics as structuring elements of future urban development towards composing one urban-eco system. The following principles guide the planning strategies: a) to guarantee water dynamics whole functioning as constraints to urban land-use definition; b) to promote potential functional and spatial integration between the urban fabric and water bodies that guide the configuration of urban fabrics according to the whole functioning of water dynamics. The spatial planning strategies show the potential to be systematically applied throughout a city, systemically addressing and integrating water dynamics and urban development issues towards a more sustainable and resilient reality, on a broader scale perspective and not only on-site symptoms.

Cooperative planning is a potent approach for steering quality settlement development inwards. With the combination of (special) use plans and urban development contracts, they come into play where traditional spatial planning is unable to reliably achieve the desired spatial planning due to a lack of agreements with landowners or investors. While private individuals benefit from a better use of their land, the state gains influence on the "if" and "how" of the constructional realization of this land. The considerable urban planning significance of cooperative planning is contrasted by constitutional concerns about the method. Cooperative planning runs the risk of shortchanging legitimate public and third-party interests and of overreaching to the private cooperating party because of the state's bidding power in the area of land use planning. This book shows ways how cooperative planning can be designed according to rule-of-law standards and thus be strengthened.

Our spatial environment is one of the most important determinants of our well-being and life chances. It relates to schools, opportunities, businesses, recreation and access to public services. Spatial injustice results where discrimination determines that spatial environment. Since Apartheid in South Africa epitomised the notion of spatial injustice, tools and instruments are required to transform spatial injustice into spatial justice. One of these is the employment of principles of spatial justice. While the National Development Plan (NDP) recognised that all spatial development should conform to certain normative principles and should explicitly indicate how the requirements of these should be met, the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act 16 of 2013 (SPLUMA) contains a more concrete principle of spatial justice. It echoes aspects of both the South African land reform programme and global principles of spatial justice. Essentially section 7(a) of SPLUMA entails three components: (1) redressing past spatial imbalances and exclusions; (2) including people and areas previously excluded and (3) upgrading informal areas and settlements. SPLUMA directs municipalities to apply the principle in its spatial development frameworks, land use schemes and, most importantly, in decision-making on development applications. The aim of this article is to determine whether the application of this principle in practice can move beyond the confines of spatial planning and land use management to address the housing issue in South Africa. Central to housing is section 26 of the Constitution, that has received the extensive attention of the Constitutional Court. The court has not hesitated to criticize the continuing existence of spatial injustice, thus contributing to the transformation of spatial injustice to spatial justice. Since planning, housing and land reform are all intertwined not only the role of SPLUMA, but also the NDP and the myriad other policies, programmes and legislation that are attempting to address the situation are examined and tested against the components of the principle of spatial justice in SPLUMA.
