  • is Regional Planning dead or just coping the transformation of a state sociospatial project into growth oriented strategies
    Environment and Planning C-government and Policy, 2012
    Co-Authors: Daniel Galland
    Abstract:

    How is Regional Planning transformed in increasingly changing socioeconomic and political contexts? How are Regional Planning policies and practices ultimately shaped and why? With this paper, the author proposes and applies an analytical model based on notions of state theory, state spatial selectivity, new Planning spaces, and policy discourses to examine how Regional Planning has evolved in the course of the past four or so decades. On the basis of an analysis concerned with the history and evolution of Danish Regional Planning, he argues that Regional Planning has shifted away from being a sociospatial and welfarist state project towards being a domain characterised by growth-oriented strategies that stand for neoliberal political agendas. In examining this process the author suggests that hierarchical forms of governance and the statutory mechanisms embedded within them have been largely substituted by emerging soft spaces of governance and flexible policies intended to destabilise formal Planning arenas. Finally, he discusses the fact that the ‘classical–modernist’ steering role of Regional Planning that once sought to tackle socioeconomic disparities has been replaced by a facilitating role that promotes competitiveness through growth-oriented policy instruments. Keywords: Regional Planning, Planning reorientations, structural reform, spatial Planning, Planning roles, governance structures, soft governance spaces

  • Regional Planning in the land reform literature: a gap to be bridged
    Regional Studies, 2010
    Co-Authors: Saulo Souza, Elisabete Silva
    Abstract:

    This work reviews recent research efforts in the area of land reform in the developing world and comparatively evaluates different Planning approaches per country. The historical antecedents, socio-economic circumstances, legal framework and different degrees of governmental intervention influencing the access to land in the countryside are covered. A snapshot of empirical findings in a group of developing countries highlights the need to systematically adopt Regional Planning strategies that are able to maximise the positive socio-economic impacts of the schemes. It is also concluded that a combination of market and non-market approaches to land reform could be beneficial for developmental purposes.

  • systematic Regional Planning for multiple objective natural resource management
    Journal of Environmental Management, 2008
    Co-Authors: Brett A Bryan, Neville D Crossman
    Abstract:

    On-ground natural resource management actions such as revegetation and remnant vegetation management can simultaneously affect multiple objectives including land, water and biodiversity resources. Hence, Planning for the sustainable management of natural resources requires consideration of these multiple objectives. However, Planning the location of management actions in the landscape often treats these objectives individually to reduce the process and spatial complexity inherent in human-modified and natural landscapes. This can be inefficient and potentially counterproductive given the linkages and trade-offs involved. We develop and apply a systematic Regional Planning approach to identify geographic priorities for on-ground natural resource management actions that most cost-effectively meet multiple natural resource management objectives. Our systematic Regional Planning approach utilises integer programming within a structured multi-criteria decision analysis framework. Intelligent siting can capitalise on the multiple benefits of on-ground actions and achieve natural resource management objectives more efficiently. The focus of this study is the human-modified landscape of the River Murray, South Australia. However, the methodology and analyses presented here can be adapted to other regions requiring more efficient and integrated Planning for the management of natural resources.
