Effective physical and/or urban planning results from common sense and orderly approach to finding out the community needs, setting goals and development priorities, taking actions to give some special meaning to space (land) occupied by the existing urban areas or the land planned for their spreading. Through that planning process, a planer has to comprehend what needs to be done now and what later, but all these decisions should be made concerning the preservation of Place Identity. To perform the appropriate planning methodology, the planer must understand the meaning of the meaning - Identity of Place, Place. Being able to distinguish Space from Place and understanding the attributes that help in distinguishing one Place from another, a planer will be able to prepare a "sustainable" plan. Only through this kind of a planning process approach will help in recognizing the local and regional values and need for changes, as well as the impact of proposed changes on the appearance, social life, and the economy of the Place. Physical and urban planning should be a process of finding out the needs, possibilities, and limits along with the proposal for the future development of a particular region, town, or any settlement, as it will reshape the physical appearance of the Place, but its curtilage, too. That is why a Study of natural and cultural identity elements are needed, a Study that would emphasize the real and necessary guidelines for preserving the existing values of the Place, but at the same enabling the economic progress and growth of the Place, for the benefits of the Place residents. As a result of understanding the meaning of the term Place, what attributes create the Place and Identity of Place, and the meanings of other related terms is a must to perform the planning process. |
