“…Planners are more often than not located at the periphery of the 'force field' of local development instead of being the force that draws other networks towards it . This general critique of the instrumental engineering model in Western planning is also very much articulated in Norway (Falleth and Saglie 2012, Nordahl 2012, Tennøy 2012, Hanssen and Falleth 2014.…”

Is culture-led redevelopment relevant for rural planners? The risk of adopting urban theories in rural settings

In the paper, the author argues that cultural strategies and theories about urban planning may be irrelevant or even counterproductive outside urban and suburban contexts. In many rural settings the problem is not the destruction of the cultural heritage or how to counterbalance the influence from corporate interests, but rather the absence of such interests in the first place. From a study of two rural municipalities in southern Norway, the author demonstrates that culture-led strategies may be more of a distraction than an instrument for creating economic growth. Measured by the common goals for rural development in Norway, the cultural strategy has only been a success in one of the cases, whereas in the other case ideas about culture-led redevelopment have not prevented economic and demographic decline. The author concludes that while culture can be instrumental in creating growth in rural municipalities, it might also hamper their development.

“…In the 2008 PBA amendment, this requirement was reduced to publication in one rather than two newspapers, but notices in electronic media were explicitly required. The general impression from the studies (Klausen et al 2013, Hanssen & Falleth 2014 is that, at the lowest level of land-use planning, detailed zoning plans, primarily, only the minimum information requirements are met. For the municipal master plans, more information than the minimum requirements is often provided.…”

“…For the municipal master plans, more information than the minimum requirements is often provided. The studies indicate that, in the case of private zoning plans, 67% of Norwegian municipalities reported that they did not facilitate the provision of other forms of information beyond the mandatory requirements (Hanssen & Falleth 2014, Klausen et al 2013. Some municipalities reqire that private developers arrange dialogues or public meetings with citizens and other affected parties during the early phases of planning when they are formulating their private plan proposal.…”

“…It is, first and foremost, a channel used by civic associations, rather than by individual citizens. In one study, 66% of local associations reported that they had delivered hearing statements regarding zoning plans one or more times (Hanssen & Falleth 2014). The most active participants in the hearings are environmental organisations, councils of commerce and organisations for the disabled.…”

“…In a review of a number of studies on participation in municipal planning (Hanssen 2015, Hanssen & Falleth 2014, Klausen et al 2013, it was found that 51% of municipalities reported the use of workshops or other forms of invitation to discuss issues of public concern related to municipal master plans, land-use plans and zoning plans. In addition, some forms of charrettes are used.…”

Citizen participation is enshrined in the Norwegian Planning and Building Act (PBA) 1985 and accentuated by the 2008 revision of the PBA. In this article, we ask if the research on participation in municipal planning is sufficient to draw conclusions on whether the Act is effective with regard to both the spirit and the letter of the law. The guiding framework for the analysis is based on the concepts of input and output legitimacy and the distinction between 'tidy' and 'untidy' participation. The analysis is based on scientific publications published after the 2008 revision of the PBA. We find that the majority of the research concentrates on zoning plans and municipalityinitiated 'tidy' participation. As a result, there are gaps in the research with regard to both the planning context and the interconnectedness of different forms of participation. Therefore, the research reviewed can only partially inform the law-makers on the functioning of the Act.
