| Summary: | The paper analyses the planning framework for sustainable territorial and
regional development. The spatial and environmental planning should play the
key role in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in
achieving the sustainable regional development. The paper discusses the
spatial planning capacity to offer the integral view of the sustainable
territorial development. The brief review of tendencies in new spatial
planning and regional policy has been given. The focus is on the concept of
balanced polycentric development of European Union. The guiding principles of
spatial planning in regard of planning system reform in European countries
have been pointed out. The changes in paradigm of regional policy, and the
tasks of European regional spatial planning have been discussed. In Serbia
problems occur in regard with the lack of coordinating sectoral planning with
spatial and environmental planning. Partly the problem lies in the legal
grounds, namely in non codification of laws and unregulated horizontal and
vertical coordination at all levels of governance. The possibilities for the
implementation of spatial planning principles and concepts of European Union
sustainable territorial and regional development have been analyzed on the
case of three regional spatial plans of eastern and southeastern regions in
Serbia. The disadvantages in implementing the strategic environmental impact
assessment as an instrument for coordination and integration of sectorial
planning with spatial and environmental planning have been analyzed. The
strategic environmental impact assessment has been implemented only in the
spatial planning process. Through spatial planning process its feedback
effect on sectorial planning has been indirectly achieved. The priority
actions in Serbia for achieving the spatial and environmental planning role
in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in sustainable
regional development have been given. |
