Citizen involvement in Slovenian spatial planning system: What can we learn from the New Labour planning reform in England?

  • Miha Vrabec
  • Alenka Temeljotov Salaj

Izvleček

V slovenski strokovni javnosti se pojavljajo vse glasnejši pozivi

k spremembam zakonodaje in politik na področju urejanja prostora.

Kot je pokazal posvet, ki je februarja 2011 potekal v Državnem

svetu RS, je znaten del problemov slovenskega prostorskega načrtovanja

povezan tudi z nizko stopnjo udeležbe javnosti. V članku

identificiramo nekatere ključne pomanjkljivosti slovenskega sistema

prostorskega načrtovanja, predvsem na področju udeležbe

javnosti, ter skušamo odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako jih je mogoče

preseči in v kolikšni meri si pri tem lahko pomagamo z izkušnjami

obsežne reforme angleškega sistema prostorskega načrtovanja v

prvem desetletju novega tisočletja, pri kateri je bila precejšnja pozornost

namenjena prav krepitvi udeležbe javnosti. V prvem delu

članka se tako posvečamo teoretičnim utemeljitvam zavzemanja

za večjo participacijo javnosti pri javnem odločanju, še posebej

na področju urejanja prostora. Posebej se posvetimo tudi pomenu

udeležbe javnosti na področju trajnostnega razvoja in razvoja

lokalne samouprave. Nato analiziramo nekatere najpomembnejše

omejitve slovenske prostorske zakonodaje in upravljanja na državni

ravni in ravni lokalnih skupnosti. V drugem delu članka se

posvečamo reformi angleškega sistema prostorskega načrtovanja

v času vlad novih laboristov in položaju javnosti v njej ter analiziramo

izzive, s katerimi se reforma sooča, predvsem v luči iskanja

ravnovesja med zagotavljanjem večje stopnje demokratičnosti na

eni in ekonomske učinkovitosti na drugi strani. V zaključku članka

razpravljamo, kako je angleška izkušnja na obravnavanem področju

lahko poučna tudi za Slovenijo, upoštevaje različen kulturni,

zgodovinski, družbeni in ekonomski položaj obeh držav.
