Technical and logical methods for improving the process of urban planning in Serbia

Abstract

The subject of the paper is an analysis of the methodology for developing urban plans, considered in a normative, organizational and interest context. Based on current legislation defining the content and procedure for adopting a plan, and the institutional framework that defines the participants in the planning process, a basic methodological model for a planning solution was formed, which was then improved in the context of the collaborative planning paradigm. Starting from the assumption that harmonizing the different interests represents the ?grey zone? of planning in Serbia, the paper explores various methodological steps that would give a space for better cooperation between all stakeholders, and therefore contribute to the improvement of procedures for developing plans and the quality of the planning solutions themselves. On the basis of this research, a methodology for urban planning is defined as a logical and technical method of successively configuring a planning solution in a normative, organizational and interest context. Through analysis of the application of the methodological model in practice and a case study, it was confirmed that the method of producing a plan that includes timely and meaningful cooperation can reconcile the interests of the different stakeholders in planning.

The implementation of an urban plan - monitoring and evaluation in the case study of the detailed regulation plan for the reconstruction of four urban blocks in Vracar

“…The level of implementation is directly connected with how the plan was drawn up, as well as with the determination of the plan, its clarity and the decision to make implementation simple and unambiguous (Graovac et al, 2017). It is interesting that the assumption to have so-called "soft" and "hard" locations has been proven correct in practice.…”

Implementation Instruments for Developing Sustainable Tourism on Recultivated Land in the Middle Danube Flow

“…Regarding economical and geo-political significance and cross-border cooperation, Ágh and Kézai gave contributions in their papers [44,45]. The planning of spatial development which form the scope of crucial European strategic documents is observed by Maksin [46], and some guiding methods for improvement of the local urban planning process, including transparency and participation, is studied by Graovac et al [47]. Since this paper goes beyond the planning phase and will touch conceptual design as an important topic, the authors paid attention to the statements of the previous research such as the importance of architectural design for positioning hotels and other touristic facilities.…”

The Implementation of Sustainable Development and Protection of Cultural Heritage at Different Levels of Spatial and Urban Planning: A Case Study of the Republic of Serbia

“…Six strategies emerged as major prerequisites to achieve full and active community participation in tourism planning associated with protected areas are: public awareness and education; capacity building; creation of linkages; use of appropriate participation methods; involvement of appropriate local community organisations and decentralisation and coordination of relevant management organisations" [9]. Proper implementation of the participation procedure and transparency of the planning process are the guarantee of quality implementations of plans in the future [10][11][12][13][14]. The general conclusion is that some global topics, as well as practical experience, can be used with certain adjustments to the situation and systemic frameworks in the Republic of Serbia.…”
