---(BLANK)-- is a key instrument for establishing long-term, sustainable frameworks for social, territorial and economic development both within and between countries.

c)

d)

Urban resilience

83.

---(BLANK)-- also known as urban and regional planning, city planning, town and country planning, and/or human settlements planning, refers to the multi-disciplinary art and science of analyzing, specifying, clarifying, harmonizing, managing and regulating the use and development of land and water resources, in relation to their environs, for the development of sustainable communities and ecosystems.

a)

c)

Spatial planning

d)

Urban resilience

84.

a)

Environmental Planning

b)

Special Planning

c)

Spatial planning

d)

85.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning depends very much on the form of government in which it is embedded. Good government corresponds to good planning. Spatial planning is a centrally important government function, that directly affects the lives of all people. It is therefore particularly important that planning decisions are made with legitimate authority by bodies that are accountable through democratic processes.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The integration principle

86.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The integration principle

87.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning takes into account that many planning issues “spill over” from one locality to another, across municipalities, regions, and even countries. In these cases, there is an argument for ceding some parts of decision-making to a higher level covering the larger area to avoid incoherent spatial development strategies. When appropriate, the decision-making process should be driven by local requirements. This principle acknowledges that it may be necessary for the decision to be made at higher levels because the scale of the issue or objective being pursued cannot properly be addressed at the local level.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The integration principle

88.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning takes into account that spatial planning plays a critical role in facilitating policy coherence and integration through territorial strategies. Integration between levels of government (jurisdictions) helps to create complementary and mutually reinforcing policies and actions. Integration across policy sectors will mutually reinforce positive benefits. Integration across administrative boundaries creates policy coherence and reduces damaging competition across larger territories.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The integration principle

89.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning takes into account that spatial planning decisions have such a wide and direct impact that opportunities to participate in those decisions should extend beyond the normal democratic process. Effective procedures for community involvement will enhance the legitimacy of policy- and decision-making by creating a sense of local ownership and ensuring consideration of citizens and property owners’ rights. The decision-making process should be transparent so that all citizens are made aware of the reasoning behind decisions. Citizens should have access to information about development proposals, plans, and policies, as well as to the officers and political committees that make such decisions.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The integration principle

90.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning takes into account that spatial planning must facilitate initiative and intuition rather than simply adhering to overly prescriptive, and possibly ineffective, measures. Spatial planning should also follow a minimalist approach, making it possible to prioritize the issues that need most urgent attention.

a)

The democratic principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The proportionality principle

91.

This fundamental principle of spatial planning indicates that where the potential damage caused by any development activity is serious or irreversible, the lack of certainty about impacts should not be used as a reason for inappropriate policy decisions or the failure to take corrective action.

a)

The precautionary principle

b)

The subsidiarity principle

c)

The participation principle

d)

The proportionality principle
