Strategic planning for sustainable rural development

Many countries are now facing the realization that further development of the countryside is seriously hampered by the lack of attention given to ecological aspects. Land use and development of such for the future is urgently in need of planning in which ecological knowledge is embedded. Recently, a set of computer programs called ECONET was developed at the Agricultural University of Wageningen which anticipated such a need within a multiple land use planning environment. The program is based on the island biogeography theory, which stresses the importance of ‘green corridors’ for the movement of species from niche to niche, and on the meta-population theory. Based on network mathematics, the spatial relationship between niches of ecological importance can now be analysed eithin a vector-based geographical information system (GIS) environment, and the most important infrastructure areas to be reserved for the propagation of species can be determined. The program can be used for impact analysis studies in situations where plan alternatives are to be looked into. The state of the art for such strategic planning for sustainable rural development is presented by means of some case studies.     

Social learning in planning: Seattle's sustainable development codebooks

This paper investigates the power and potential of studying planning and policy innovations from a social learning standpoint. Social learning is an important but under-investigated feature of planning and policy processes, and a particularly critical goal in the adaptation of innovations. While often cited as part of the desired outcomes of planning and policy processes, social learning is rarely investigated from a process-based perspective able to reveal how and why it occurs to different degrees in different contexts. At the same time, such process-based understanding is precisely what is needed by theorists and practitioners alike in order to improve the impact factor of plan and policy changes, to improve the transferability of ‘best practices,’ and to bolster public support and engagement in public affairs. This kind of research requires a new, comprehensive theory of social learning within planning and policy contexts as well as new analytical tools for studying social learning processes in particular cases.

A Europe of regions — the West Midlands of England: planning for metropolitan change in Birmingham

In 1992, western Europe's markets will expand with the creation of a unified market. The political shifts in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union may further alter conditions. Cities like Birmingham will undergo social and economic reorganization as its sphere of influence changes. In this expanding context, there is growing competition between the nuclear perspective of present planning, and the reality of polynuclear expansion, propelled by market forces, without benefit of anything resembling strategic thinking at the regional and inter regional scale. Although there is some interagency cooperation leading to strategic guidance for matters needing immediate resolution, there is a need for more fundamental dialogue which might lead to a reevaluation of metropolitan and regional structure.

Ecological networks: A spatial concept for multi-actor planning of sustainable landscapes

In this paper, we propose the ecological network concept as a suitable basis for inserting biodiversity conservation into sustainable landscape development. For landscapes to be ecologically sustainable, the landscape structure should support those ecological processes required for the landscape to deliver biodiversity services for present and future generations. We first show that in multifunctional, human-dominated landscapes, biodiversity conservation needs a coherent large-scale spatial structure of ecosystems. Theory and empirical knowledge of ecological networks provides a framework for the design of such structures. Secondly, ecological networks can bridge the paradox between reserve conservation (fixing nature in space and time) and development, which implies change. This is because ecological networks can change structure without losing their conservation potential. Thirdly, ecological networks facilitate stakeholder decision-making on feasible biodiversity goals. They help to focus on an effective spatial scale. We conclude that extending the ecological network concept with multifunctional indicators is a promising step towards sustainable landscape development and stakeholder decision-making.

A basis for sustainable wise use of game in Hungary: Defining management regions

In Hungary, there is a consensus on implementing ecological knowledge and principles in game and wildlife management. These aims can be achieved by the determination of relatively homogeneous game management regions and by regional planning. In this way game populations in ecologically similar areas can be managed on the basis of common long-term strategies; the objectives of nature conservation, forestry, agriculture and game management may also be harmonized. On the basis of game management, forestry and agricultural land use data, the opportunities for defining game management regions were investigated. In the analyses, spring population estimates and catch data of 682 game management units for 1990 were used. The game management units were classified using cluster and discriminant analyses. Statistical procedures revealed eight main groups of game management units; these groups were classified into three types (big game, small game and intermediate) on the basis of population density and type of game species killed. The boundaries of management regions were set in accordance with the geographical distribution of the three types as well as the natural characteristics of the country (e.g. forest distribution, mountains and rivers). Finally, six large game management regions were determined, in which 21 sub-regions could be distinguished. On the basis of their greater homogeneity, and knowing that management objectives can be more clearly defined and realized in smaller areas, sub-regions are suggested as operative planning units.
