JPER, Volume 16, Number 4, Summer 1997: AbstractsAnticipatory Analysis in Environmental Planning: Managing Argument in Wellhead Protection Greg Lindsey and Carl Schoedel Abstract Models of participatory or consensual planning based on theories of communicative action and rationality are emerging as an important paradigm for interpretation of the process of planning. Within this framework, Forester (1991) has described planning as "anticipatory analysis", the work of anticipating implementation and managing argumentation. This article uses Forester’s framework to analyze the role of planners in managing argument about wellhead protection in Indianapolis, Indiana. The article examines the ways in which planners envisioned alternative futures, structured and managed processes of argumentation, and presented recommendations for risky, technical decisions. It concludes with observations about the usefulness of the model of anticipatory analysis in environmental planning.
Public Support for Remedial Action Planning: Willingness to Pay in Brown County, Wisconsin Gerrit Knaap, Larry Smith, and Per Johnsen Abstract This article examines public support for the Remedial Action Plan for the Upper Fox River and Lower Green Bay watershed of Lake Michigan by analyzing the results of a telephone survey. The survey found support for a remedial action plan, measured in both willingness to pay and willingness to support a new agency to implement the plan, was significantly greater among those familiar with the plan. The survey also found willingness to pay for the plan greater among the young and better educated, a strong preference for industry fees and user charges over taxation as a method of payment, and little support for the creation of a new agency to implement the plan. Unlike previous research on public support for growth management and land use reform, the survey found the support was based not on self interest but on general preferences for a clean environment. These results suggest that the key to public support, and perhaps for successful RAP implementation, lies less in fostering recreational use of the watershed and more in continuing efforts to provide education and information to the young, the dedication of user fees for RAP implementation, and continued leadership by state government.
Planning Responses to Global Restructuring: Implications for Major Korean Cities Cheol-Joo Cho Abstract The global restructuring of world capitalism is so influential that no city or region remains unaffected. In Korea, the multifaceted economic, social, and spatial restructuring could provide an opportunity for the economic growth of some cities, while for others they present a challenge to the planning profession. This paper first examines the process of fundamental restructuring that has been taking place at the global level. It then evaluates the internal and external strains that restructuring has exerted on major Korean cities. Based on the urban pressures, various problems and policy issues that face urban policy-makers are discussed. The paper is an attempt to link macro logic at the global level, global restructuring, to the micro logic of planning policy at the city and regional level. It is based on the firm belief that a thorough understanding of ongoing structural changes is required for Korean cities to cope with the contemporary process of global restructuring.
Instruction A Model for Teaching Environmental Justice in a Planning Curriculum* R. O. Washington and Denise Strong Abstract This article describes a course, Environmental Justice Movement, initiated at the College of Urban and Public Affairs at the University of New Orleans in the spring of 1995. A companion to a course in environmental planning, the course was designed to prepare planning students to engage in the environmental policy debate by exposing them to its historical, moral, and technical dimensions. By examining strategies and tactics of planning practice, they learn to apply their analytic and research skills to appropriate advocacy, mediation, and community planning roles. The course seeks to connect the environmental justice movement with social movement theory, concepts of procedural justice, and advocacy and equity planning. It integrates propositions and concepts about the politics of planning, land use policies, and practices with political philosophy, populist beliefs and what Perry (1994) calls "the street-level Rawlsian approach."
