The maintained hypothesis underpinning this study is that urban development and local environmental quality are in a long-run feedback relationship. The question arises in this context to which extent the institutional framework as well as the daily planning and policy making routines are organised accordingly. The study relies on case studies undertaken in 10 urban regions in Europe and the U.S. The first part of the contribution provides a comparision of different approaches to organise environmental policy and the role the local level plays (institutional framework). Different types of organisation within a country (the range of possibilities reaching from completely centralised systems, with practically no involvement of the local institutions to a completely decentralised, purely local policy system) and within a city's administration are identified. The pros and cons as seen by the interviewed experts are discussed. Raziskava temelji na predpostavki, da sta urbani razvoj in lokalna kvaliteta okolja dolgoročno v povratni zvezi. V povezavi s tem se zastavlja vprašanje, do kakšne mere so v skladu s tem organizirani institucionalni okvir, dnevno planiranje in rutine določanja razvojne politike. Raziskava je zasnovana na primerih 10 mestnih regij v Evropi in ZDA. Prvi del prispevka je posvečen primerjavi različnih pristopov k organiziranju naravovarstvene politike in vlogi, ki jo pri tem ima lokalna raven (institucionalni okvir). Prikazane so različne oblike organizacije v državah (od povsem centraliziranih sistemov, kjer lokalne institucije sploh ne sodelujejo, do povsem decentraliziranih, povsem lokalnih sistemov) in v občinah. Razprava se na kratko posveti nekaterim modelom, ki so jih predlagali strokovnjaki, za bolj učinkovito planiranje izboljšave lokalnega okolja. |
