The professional practice of planning and the state-controlled mechanisms under which western-science planning operate offer little to improve the lives of Indigenous people and their communities. Arguably, western-science planning along with its many legal tools, collectively reproduce existing colonial relations in the interest of state domination over, and suppression of, Indigenous people. In this paper, we describe a different planning model, one that Viswanathan (2019) refers to as “parallel planning”, wherein Indigenous planning principles are practiced in parallel to western-science planning, with each approach informing, and complementing, the other. Our case example is from the Saskatchewan River Delta wherein Indigenous values nested in traditional knowledge in the land and water are the centrepiece of a planning process supported by the western-science planning framework. Challenges facing this approach will be discussed alongside suggestions on how these challenges may be overcome.

The basic objective of this paper is to research the capacity of local-level governance in Serbia to transform spatial planning practices. The analysis was performed on the case study of the City of Niš, where besides the presence of formal planning instruments, new informal governance practices have emerged. The governance of spatial development was analyzed in relation to three ideal governance models: hierarchy, market, and network, and four planning models: the comprehensive planning model, the negotiative planning model, the neoliberal model, and the collaborative model. The strengths and weaknesses of the institutional and planning framework are defined, and recommendations for improvement are given.

Asimismo la revalorización que está teniendo la planificación en distintos ámbitos, público y privado, tampoco es ajena en el turismo, pero aún requiere modificaciones en los métodos y técnicas para ser aplicada al desarrollo del turismo sustentable. Esta necesidad de las modificaciones en los métodos llevó a proponer un modelo de planificación para el desarrollo del turismo sustentable y su contextualización en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile. El modelo se elaboró sobre la base de categorías de análisis derivadas del estudio de enfoques territoriales y metodológicos de planificación  aplicados al turismo y de los objetivos y programa del turismo sustentable. La construcción, descripción y validación de estas categorías de análisis se presentan en este artículo.Palabras clave:Planificación / Turismo sustentable / Región de Coquimbo (Chile)Abstract:The process of planning, in one way or the other, has been implied in the development of tourism, nevertheless, its application has not been thoroughly successful. In the same direction, the reassessment that the planning process has undergone in different scopes, whether public or private, it has not been aside from tourism, but it requires method and technique modifications, in order to be applied for a sustainable tourism. It is this need of applying certain modifications in the methods, that led the authoress to propose a model of planning for the development of a sustainable tourism embedded in the Region of Coquimbo, Chile. The model was elaborated based on category analyses derived from the study of territorial and methodology planning approaches applied to tourism and to the objectives and program of the sustainable tourism. The category analyses elaboration, description and assessment of the planning model proposal is presented in this article.Keywords:Town Planning / Sustainable Tourism / Coquimbo Region (Chile)

Non Equilibrium

In integrated water management, the issues are often complex by nature, they are capable of subjective interpretation, are difficult to express in standards and exhibit many uncertainties. For such issues, an equilibrium approach is not appropriate. A non-equilibrium approach has to be applied. This implies that the processes to which the integrated issue pertains, are regarded as “alive”’. Instead of applying a control system as the model for tackling the issue, a network is used as the model. In this network, several “agents”’ are involved in the modification, revision and rearrangement of structures. It is therefore an on-going renewal process (perpetual novelty). In the planning process for the development of a groundwater policy for the municipality of Amsterdam, a non-equilibrium approach was adopted. In order to do justice to the integrated character of groundwater management, an approach was taken, containing the following features: (1) working from global to detailed, (2) taking account of the history of the system, (3) giving attention to communication, (4) building flexibility into the establishing of standards, and (5) combining reason and emotions. A middle course was sought, between static, rigid but reliable on the one hand; dynamic, flexible but vague on the other hand.

AbstractThe so-called Buchanan report, commissioned by the Irish government and published in May 1969, comprised a set of proposals for regional industrial development in Ireland over the period 1966–86. The main thrust of the report was the concentration of the great bulk of new industrial employment creation in Dublin and eight proposed ‘growth centres’. The plan provided for the creation of powerful planning authorities to oversee development in the regions. The government rejected these proposals and opted instead to continue with the existing policy of widespread dispersal of new industry. While meeting with initial success, this policy proved unsustainable in the long term. The paper reviews the implications of the Buchanan report experience for the regional planning process in Ireland, arguing that failure to learn from this experience served to undermine the National Spatial Strategy, with a similar fate likely for the forthcoming National Planning Framework.

By comparing two transportation plans, one implemented and the other forgotten on a bookshelf, the case of Bogota, Colombia, offers the opportunity to understand the determinants underlying effective plan implementation. Results suggest that a plan will be implemented if the planning process is politically and financially realistic. These two initial characteristics should be self-evident, because without adequate funding or political conditions, no policy can be implemented. The analysis highlights the importance of two additional factors for successful project implementation: the existence of a minimum level of institutional capacity, and that the overall planning and implementation exercise is driven by the desire to implement the project.

Neighborhood Council

This paper analyzes the redevelopment of a residential compound in Jerusalem from a justice perspective. It focuses on the role of the Neighborhood Council (NC) in negotiating representation and recognition of local residents in the planning process. Based on analysis of interviews, planning documents, focus group meetings, and court appeals, we argue that as a hybrid governance structure, which mediates between the residents and the municipality, the NC is uniquely positioned to promote more just and inclusive planning process and outcomes at the neighborhood scale. However, the NC still faces substantial challenges due to its intermediary position.

This article examines how hospice philosophy works in contemporary Danish hospice practice. The still sparse literature on Danish hospices indicates that hospice philosophy is influencing professional practice. In international palliative care literature, hospice philosophy is challenged for being overly normative in its ideal of the good death or on the other hand as threatened by the medical model. Drawing on the idea of hospice philosophy as providing meaning for everyday practice, this article explores how it is incorporated within the institutional order of contemporary Danish hospices. An ethnographic study was informed by participant observation and 49 interviews with professionals, patients, and families at three hospices in Denmark. The findings contribute to further understanding of the complexity of maintaining hospice philosophy in contemporary practice. Hospice practice works in an interpretive way with hospice philosophy to offer a “lived” philosophy and a means to an authentic death.

Companies must deal with a high uncertainty caused by the characteristics of the markets and the economic, political, and social environment in which they offer their products and services. These characteristics are defined by the preferences of the consumers, which have a high variety coupled with the digital era. On the other hand, there is the necessity to implement measures that align the companies with the sustainability concepts, because of both legislations as well as the image that the customer could have of them. Due to this context, the organizations must find a way to optimize process and structures that require high flexibility given the need of combining perfect innovation, customization, standardization, and sustainability. Part of this planning process is the construction of forecast models that allows predicting with high precisión. In this chapter, a theoretical exposition is done and a literature revision of machine learning techniques is applied to try to solve the forecasting problem with special emphasis in neural networks and Case-Based Reasoning - CBR.

Reconstruction Quality

Small-scaled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerge as ideal image acquisition platforms due to their high maneuverability even in complex and tightly built environments. The acquired images can be utilized to generate high-quality 3D models using current multi-view stereo approaches. However, the quality of the resulting 3D model highly depends on the preceding flight plan which still requires human expert knowledge, especially in complex urban and hazardous environments. In terms of safe flight plans, practical considerations often define prohibited and restricted airspaces to be accessed with the vehicle. We propose a 3D UAV path planning framework designed for detailed and complete small-scaled 3D reconstructions considering the semantic properties of the environment allowing for user-specified restrictions on the airspace. The generated trajectories account for the desired model resolution and the demands on a successful photogrammetric reconstruction. We exploit semantics from an initial flight to extract the target object and to define restricted and prohibited airspaces which have to be avoided during the path planning process to ensure a safe and short UAV path, while still aiming to maximize the object reconstruction quality. The path planning problem is formulated as an orienteering problem and solved via discrete optimization exploiting submodularity and photogrammetrical relevant heuristics. An evaluation of our method on a customized synthetic scene and on outdoor experiments suggests the real-world capability of our methodology by providing feasible, short and safe flight plans for the generation of detailed 3D reconstruction models.
