The Impact

Since 2010, Ecuador's legal system has obliged provincial, cantonal and parochial decentralized autonomous govern-ments to develop two planning processes, one in 2011 of formulation and the other in 2015 of respective updating of development plans and territorial planning (PDOT). This planning process has been of little benefit, due to the quality of its contents and the vagueness of the legislation regarding the procedure for articulating the different plans with each other and with the National Development Plan. According to this approach, it is necessary to reflect on the planning experience so far, analyzing the different phases of the PDOT: diagnosis, proposal and management model; and the impact of the Organic Law of Territorial Ordinance, Use and Management of Land and other laws in the different instruments of territorial ordering and urban planning, in order to extract inputs for future planning processes.

AbstractWalking as a transport mode is still often underrepresented in the overall transport system. Consequently, pedestrian mobility is usually not recorded statistically in the same manner as it is performed for motorised traffic which leads to an underestimation of its importance and positive effects on people and cities. However, the integration of walkability assessments is potentially a valuable complement in urban planning processes through considering important quantitative and qualitative aspects of walking in cities. Recent literature shows a variety of approaches involving discrepancies in the definition of walkability, the factors which contribute to it, and methods of assessing them. This paper provides a new understanding of the concept of walkability in the European context. Our approach relies on the extension of methodological competence in transportation, spatial planning and geography by linking new measurement methods for evaluating walkability. We propose an integrated approach to assessing walkability in a comprehensive methodology that combines existing qualitative and GIS-based methods with biosensor technologies and thus captures the perceptions and emotions of pedestrians. This results in an increased plausibility and relevance of the results of walkability analysis by considering the spatial environment and its effect on people.

Abstract Geoweb methods offer an alternative to commonly used public participation methods in spatial planning. This paper discusses two such geoweb methods – geo-questionnaire and geo-discussion in the context of their initial applications within the spatial planning processes in Poland. The paper presents legal and organizational framework for the implementation of methods, provides their development details, and assesses insights gained from their deployment in the context of spatial planning in Poland. The analysed case studies encompass different spatial scales ranging from major cities in Poland (Poznań and Łódź) to suburban municipalities (Rokietnica and Swarzędz in Poznań Agglomeration). The studies have been substantiated by interviews with urban planners and local authorities on the use and value of Geoweb methods in public consultations.

Subject. This article discusses the issues of creating a planning system to improve the efficiency of cooperation between planning entities. Objectives. The article aims to study the features of application and specific characteristics of spatial and territorial planning. Methods. For the study, I used a comparative analysis. Results. The article finds that interpretations of the concepts of spatial and territorial planning used in Russian and foreign practice and research differ. Some authors confuse the two types of planning and use the relevant terms as synonyms, others distinguish the use of these types of planning in practice. Conclusions. The article concludes that spatial planning in comparison with territorial one, includes a larger number of elements. Spatial planning can form the basis to create a system of cooperation between neighboring regions.

Planning Development

Sustainable development has long been promoted as the best answer to the world’s environmental problems. This term has generated mass appeal as it implies that both the development of the built environment and its associated resource consumption can be achieved without jeopardising the natural environment. In the urban context, sustainability issues have been reflected in the promotion of sustainable urban development, which emphasises the sensible exploitation of scarce natural resources for urbanisation in a manner that allows future generations to repeat the process. This chapter highlights attempts to promote sustainable urban development through an integration of three important considerations: planning, development and the ecosystem. It highlights the fact that spatial planning processes were traditionally driven by economic and social objectives, and rarely involved promoting the sustainability agenda to achieve a sustainable urban future. As a result, rapid urbanisation has created a variety of pressures on the ecosystem upon which we rely. It is believed that the integration of the urban planning and development processes within the limitations of the ecosystem, monitored by a sustainability assessment mechanism, would offer a better approach to maintaining sustainable resource use without compromising urban development.
