why mass media matter to Planning Research the case of megaprojects
arXiv: General Finance, 2013Co-Authors: Bent FlyvbjergAbstract:This article asks how Planning scholarship may effectively gain impact in Planning practice through media exposure. In liberal democracies the public sphere is dominated by mass media. Therefore, working with such media is a prerequisite for effective public impact of Planning Research. Using the example of megaproject Planning, it is illustrated how so-called "phronetic Planning Research," which explicitly incorporates in its methodology active and strategic collaboration with media, may be helpful in generating change in Planning practice via the public sphere. Main lessons learned are: (1) Working with mass media is an extremely cost-effective way to increase the impact of Planning scholarship on practice; (2) Recent developments in information technology and social media have made impact via mass media even more effective; (3) Research on "tension points," i.e., points of potential conflict, are particularly interesting to media and the public, and are especially likely to generate change in practice; and (4) Tension points bite back; Planning Researchers should be prepared for, but not afraid of, this.

phronetic Planning Research theoretical and methodological reflections
Planning Theory & Practice, 2004Co-Authors: Bent FlyvbjergAbstract:This article presents the theoretical and methodological considerations behind a Research method which the author calls ‘phronetic Planning Research’. Such Research sets out to answer four questions of power and values for specific instances of Planning: (1) Where are we going with Planning? (2) Who gains and who loses, and by which mechanisms of power? (3) Is this development desirable? (4) What, if anything, should we do about it? A central task of phronetic Planning Research is to provide concrete examples and detailed narratives of the ways in which power and values work in Planning, with what consequences to whom, and to suggest how relations of power and values could be changed to work with other consequences. Insofar as Planning situations become clear, they are clarified by detailed stories of who is doing what to whom. Clarifications of that kind are a principal concern for phronetic Planning Research and provide the main link to praxis.

the Research agenda for general practice family medicine and primary health care in europe part 1 background and methodology 1
European Journal of General Practice, 2009Co-Authors: Eva Hummerspradier, Martin Beyer, Patrick Chevallier, Sophia Eilattsanani, Christos Lionis, Lieve Peremans, Davorina Petek, Imre Rurik, Jean Karl Soler, Henri E J H StoffersAbstract:At the WONCA Europe conference 2009 the recently published ‘Research Agenda for General Practice/Family Medicine and Primary Health Care in Europe’ was presented. The Research Agenda is a background paper and reference manual for GPs/ family doctors, Researchers and policy makers, providing advocacy of general practice/family medicine GP/FM in Europe. The Research Agenda summarizes the evidence relating to the core competencies and characteristics of the WONCA Europe defi nition of GP/FM, and its meaning for Researchers and policy makers. Evidence gaps and Research needs are pointed out to provide a basis for Planning Research for which there is a need and for action that may infl uence health and Research policy, i.e. applying/lobbying for Research funds. WONCA Europe and its associated networks and special interest groups could consider the agenda’s Research priorities when Planning future conferences, courses, or projects, and for funding purposes. The European Journal of General Practice will publish a series of articles based on this document. In this fi rst article, background, objectives, methodology and relevant literature are discussed. In subsequent articles, the results will be presented.

is there a role for evidence based practice in urban Planning and policy
Planning Theory & Practice, 2009Co-Authors: Kevin J Krizek, Ann Forysth, Carissa Schively SlotterbackAbstract:Can the craft of Planning take advantage of a growing body of Planning-relevant Research? Evidence-based practice proposes a better connection between Research and professional work, but raises several concerns about the character of valid evidence, the strength and clarity of Planning Research, and inequalities in the available resources for integrating Research into Planning practice. Much of Planning practice is a reflective craft where skills of mediation, negotiation, listening, and framing are prominent. As part of the planner's work employing these skills, however, there is a valuable role for Research-generated evidence to inform decision making. Evidence-based practice needs careful implementation but it can enrich the field of Planning by linking Research to practice.

ape an experience based assembly sequence planner for mechanical assemblies
International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1995Co-Authors: A Swaminathan, K S BarberAbstract:This paper presents an approach to the assembly sequence Planning problem based on a "plan reuse" philosophy. Most of assembly Planning Research in the past has attempted to completely plan each problem from scratch. This Research shows that stored cases of basic assembly configurations can be applied to a given assembly problem. It is observed that the number of such basic assembly configurations is quite small. In the first phase of Planning (EVALUATOR phase), the assembly is divided into a number of constituent configurations, which are called "loops". These act as subgoals in its search for solutions (RETRIEVER phase). Plans retrieved for all the subgoals are fused into a set of plans that are consistent with the constraints implied by each plan (MODIFIER and COMPOSITER phases). Application specific constraints on the assembly are explicitly handled in the final phase of Planning (POSTPROCESSOR phase).

an introduction language management theory in language policy and Planning
International Journal of the Sociology of Language, 2015Co-Authors: Jiři Nekvapil, Tamah ShermanAbstract:In these introductory remarks, the authors deal with the metaphors "top-down", "bottom-up" and related concepts in the Language Policy and Planning Research. Furthermore, they sketch out the position of Language Management Theory in this field of study and characterize "language management" in various Research traditions. Afterward, the main features of Language Management Theory are presented with emphasis placed on the relationship between "simple" and "organized" language management. Finally, these features are illustrated on the individual contributions to this special issue.
