In contemporary cities, justice stands as a paramount concern, integral to their fabric and functionality. Just urban land use planning (JULUP) is one of the main topics in urban land use planning ...and tries to promote justice in cities through land use planning principles. Despite the abundance of JULUP studies, there is still a lack of comprehensive research that can review JULUP principles in an integrated manner. This article aims to explore and describe the principles of JULUP and seeks to answer the question of what principles JULUP is defined by using a systematic review and qualitative content analysis method. Based on the review of 191 sources, the results show that principles of JULUP can be categorized into four major principles: Land rights management, social cohesion, accessibility and spatial health. This array of principles underscores that attaining justice in urban land use planning necessitates a comprehensive and integrated perspective.

We, as humans, are currently facing urgent socio-ecological challenges (climate change, demographic increase, booming inequalities, etc.). These challenges are reinforced by systems of financial ...control at the international level, super-extractive strategies on natural resources, lack of effective democracy, surge of conflicts and wars, etc. This book is based on the assumption that these challenges cannot be faced without the enhanced participation of all stakeholders—from citizens to policy-makers—in the decisions that affect our social-ecological systems. This means that stakeholders must no longer simply be informed, but acquire the capacities to decide, act and adapt autonomously. In this sense, participation must be transformative. This book argues that this transformation needs to be accompanied by approaches, methods and concrete feedbacks. Therefore, this book aims to give an account of a diversity of practices and methods used to involve the various stakeholders, including the public, in transformative decision-making towards socio-ecological sustainability. It answers questions such as: How to engineer a participatory process? How can facilitators acquire the skills needed to facilitate such a process? How can role-playing games support decision and change? How to design territorial development plans with thousands of citizens? What digital platform can be designed to support participatory policy making? How can the impact of a participatory process be monitored and evaluated? What is the role of experts in these processes?
This article aims to investigate the flexibilization of urban planning instruments in relation to urban density. To this end, it takes as a case study the city of Passo Fundo / RS, where it was ...observed that the Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Integrado (PDDI), instituted in 2006, went through a series of changes related to the proposed urban regime. To achieve the objective, legal acts were analyzed, identifying those related to the planning of urban densities. Subsequently, synthesis maps of urban indexes were used, making it possible to spatialize the changes and analyze them comparatively. Finally, through the Spatial Syntax Analysis, it was possible to characterize the locations in terms of their integration / segregation. As a conclusion, it was found that the flexibilization of the PDDI occurred mainly in areas of low integration and that its appropriation to urban materiality already occurs, mainly due to the type of condominiums of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, destined to low / medium income.
Durch den globalen Wandel und Änderungen der Raum- und Flächennutzung werden Ökosysteme und ihre Leistungen zunehmend beeinträchtigt. Vor diesem Hintergrund steht in Frage, wie die Leistungsfähigkeit ...der Ökosysteme sowie alle Leistungen, die diese bereitstellen, ausreichend in der Steuerung der Raum- und Flächenentwicklung in Deutschland berücksichtigt, gesichert und entwickelt werden können und wie die gesellschaftliche Relevanz von Ökosystemleistungen auch in der räumlichen Planung ihren Niederschlag finden kann. Derzeit werden in der Praxis der räumlichen Planung in Deutschland kaum Chancen gesehen, dass neue Verfahren etabliert werden können, die auf dem ÖkosystemleistungsAnsatz basieren und dazu führen könnten, diesen umfassend in die Planung zu integrieren. Allerdings ist die Modernisierung von formellen und informellen Planungsinstrumenten längerfristig angelegt, wozu der Ökosystemleistungs-Ansatz sowohl methodisch als auch konzeptionell einen wesentlichen Beitrag leisten kann. Deshalb wird in vorliegendem Beitrag diskutiert, wie der Ökosystemleistungs-Ansatz kurzbis mittelfristigen Eingang in die formelle räumliche Planung finden kann und welcher gesellschaftliche und ökologische Mehrwert darüber generiert werden kann. Dazu werden die Chancen und Risiken unterschiedlicher Implementierungen erwogen und einzelne Ansatzpunkte näher ausgeführt.
Due to global changes and changes in land use, ecosystems and their services are increasingly affected. Against this background, it is questionable how ecosystems and the services they provide can be better and sufficiently taken into account in land-use planning as well as spatial development in Germany. Currently little chance is seen to establish new ecosystem service-based processes that would be comprehensively integrated in the spatial planning practice in Germany. However, modernisation of formal and informal planning instruments is conceived in a long-term perspective. The ecosystem service approach can essentially contribute to this modernisa1tion methodically as well as conceptually. Therefore, this paper discusses possibilities how to integrate the ecosystem service approach in formal spatial planning in a short to medium term and which societal and ecological added value can be generated. Chances and risks of different implementation options will be discussed and specific approaches outlined.
This study aimed to present the methodological approach of the agroecological zoning of Mato Grosso do Sul State. The approach incorporated quantitative and qualitative assessment, with ...geotechnologies (satellite image–landsat 5, global positioning system, geographic information system, digital mapping, software of digital image processing) adoption to perform an integrated analysis of environmental data. Primary soils information associated with terrain attributes and climate characteristics were used with geotechnologies to evaluation of the natural erosion potential, natural fertility, internal drainage and moisture soil retention capacity of soil. The land use, and land cover and the environmental laws were observed. The integrated analysis of these data allowed environmental stratification in different agroecological zones. These zones are defined to agricultural use; pastures; conservation of natural resources or ecological restoration. In Bandeirantes case study, the agroecological zones recommended for agriculture sum 1,150 km2. The evaluation for conservation of natural resources and ecological results in 310 km2, and for the areas recommended for pastures sum 1,650 km2 or 53% of Bandeirantes municipality. This study allows conclude that the integrated analysis of environmental data with application of geotechnologies can subsidize a quantitative and qualitative assessment, stratifying the lands in different agroecological zones, each one with recommendations for sustainable use, and contributing as a powerful tool for spatial planning.
In the years when Emilio Sereni published his “History of italian agricultural landscape”, our country faced maximum intensity of its settlements growth. The specific organization of Italian plains ...would have soon disappeared forever. The last image of that world has been fixed in GAI aerial survey frames, recently available as a powerful tool for evaluation of landscape changes. Observation of that document disorients for the exceptional degree of alteration; at the same time, however, it should encourage the development of specific technical skills to judge, from time to time, appropriateness, meaning and convenience of transformations.
The Cisadane watershed in the upstream part of Bogor Regency is used as a source of raw water for PDAM Kota Bogor. Development in the Cisadane River Basin encourages the conversion of protected land ...and water absorption into built-up land. Government policies for resolving watershed area management have tended to be structurally resolved. The non-structural approach through the spatial institutional approach rarely makes attention. This study aims to analyze water management through an approach to watershed spatial planning and the pattern of coordination between inter-sectoral institutions related to the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) for sustainable water management. The study used a mixed method, first look problems about inconsistensy with policy spatial planning ang then descriptive qualitative approach through analyzing the role of the RTRW and coordinating inter-sectoral institutions. The findings of the study showed that the role of the RTRW had not been effective in ensuring the sustainability of water resources management. Local governments as leader power in determining policies have not been able to integrate inter-sectoral and inter-regional interests due to lack of coordination between related institutions. The use of water resources often does not see the production or water management system that is related to the RTRW, because of that the need for a coordination forum to bridge the interests of integrated water resources in spatial planning.

This paper reports results from research conducted to analyse the extent of excess commuting in Dublin, Ireland. The research differs from similar studies on excess commuting in two ways. First, a ...disaggregate modal choice analysis of excess commuting is undertaken for two time periods – 1991 and 2001. Second, sensitivity analysis is undertaken to explore the impact of changes in the density of the transport network for users of public and private transport. The results suggest that excess commuting is considerably greater for users of private transport implying the greater inefficiency of commuting associated with that mode. By way of contrast, capacity utilisation measures suggest the opposite indicating the difficulty of using these measures for policy-making. The results suggest also that the greater inter-mixing of jobs–housing functions has facilitated reductions in actual commuting costs as well as increasing the range of available trip possibilities over the study period. In terms of the sensitivity analysis, the results suggest that public transport users could achieve dramatic savings on their commute if the density of that network was increased considerably.

City and regional planners talk constantly about the things of the world—from highway interchanges and retention ponds to zoning documents and conference rooms—yet most seem to have a poor ...understanding of the materiality of the world in which they're immersed. Too often planners treat built forms, weather patterns, plants, animals, or regulatory technologies as passively awaiting commands rather than actively involved in the workings of cities and regions.In the ambitious and provocative Planning Matter, Robert A. Beauregard sets out to offer a new materialist perspective on planning practice that reveals the many ways in which the nonhuman things of the world mediate what planners say and do. Drawing on actor-network theory and science and technology studies, Beauregard lays out a framework that acknowledges the inevitable insufficiency of our representations of reality while also engaging more holistically with the world in all of its diversity—including human and nonhuman actors alike.
The landscape in Xinbei district of Changzhou was mapped based on planning land use classification by interpreting remote sensing images. Patch numbers, patch area, variation coefficient, shape ...index, fractal dimension index, Shannon's diversity index and Shannon's evenness index were selected to analyze landscape pattern in terms of structure, shape and diversity of the landscape. The result showed that cultivated land is largest land use type, covering 49.87% of total study area; thus, being the landscape matrix. Waters and waste land were most complicated in shape, while urban land is the simplest, showing the obvious diversity of the study area. Chunjiang town had the largest landscape diversity; however, Hehai Street had the least. Two kinds of distribution were made according to two secondary land use types. Based on various levels of land protection, study area was classified into 4 categories for land use ecological protection evaluation: strict, middle, moderate and mild. Based on different land use types, study area was divided into 4 categories for land use suitability evaluation of development: priority, moderate, controlled and unsuitable.
