the present link to german: flächennutzungsplanung (fnp) is not correct. in direct translation lup and fnp have the same meaning but unlike lup, fnp only covers a certain local level of planning. so i will erase this link. on the other hand, the german term for covering all kinds of planning is "raumplanung" (spacial planning) or rather "raum- und umweltplanung" (spacial and environmental planning). these two terms are already linked so it's hard to find a proper link for lup. i'll think about it.

[edit] Translation

the link to german "flächennutzungsplan" doesn't mak any sense as planning is an activity and plan is the result of it! it should be translated to "Raumordnung" as it is used in many contexts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.186.7.67 (talk) 15:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

  • Spatial planning and Land use planning are two different things. In effect spatial planning is a function of Land Use planning which is the wider activity. They can't be merged. Bjrobinson 14:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree. They dont really seem like the same thing. Mmcknight4 20:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Land use planning is in fact just one aspect of spatial planning [1]. In this manner, it would rather be more suitable to add 'Land use planning' as a sub-section into 'Spatial planning' article. I am also surprised that the person proposing merge never posted any justification. --IslesCapeTalk 11:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
  • That's interesting, as i'd say it was the other way around. Spatial planning is about integrating land uses such as balancing jobs and housing, and other facilities including social and transport, a 'spatial strategy' attempts to consider development within the wider context, directing development for wider aims. But Land use planning is the actual activity, spatial planning being a function of that? I'm happy to hear any differing views, maybe I will try and find a proper book!

  • Actually the second paragraph explains that pretty well anyway. The planning portal definition pretty much says the same although; ' Spatial planning goes beyond traditional land use planning ', should not be interpreted as Land Use planning being subservient to spatial planning, especially given that this definition is very uk-centric? Regardless of this debate I think we have decided that a merge should not happen? Bjrobinson 10:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
While interrelations may exist at different levels, it is obvious that both artciles have sufficient potential for individual expansion. The perceptions also vary across Europe. So, I agree with you, no merge necessary.--IslesCapeTalk 15:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Great. I'll get rid of that pesky tag then :-) Bjrobinson 10:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] academic journals

  • I was looking for some academic journals to publish land use planning data in and I thought it would be great to have a resource like this in wokipedia to help readers and authors identify appropriate journals. I hope others can contribute as well. Regards, SoilMan2007 (talk)
Yes, I agree. This is a very good idea. If you check out the WP pages on academic journals, you'll see that this is a whole area that needs expansion. Eyedubya (talk) 22:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Catastrophes

Does anyone know of good examples of catastrophic events that have occurred because of inadaquate land use planning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoilMan2007 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
