“…In other words, a people-oriented development plan should reflect the sufficient concern and views from the public sector. As a result, some researchers have tried to include a collaborative way and integrate participatory techniques into the planning support tools to enhance the public engagement in urban (land use) planning and also develop more effective participation methods for this profession [49][50][51][52]. Undoubtedly, PSS provide an environment in which land use models can be utilized to support the planning.…”

This paper reviews the research work on a relatively particular areaplanning support systems (PSS) for urban land use planning (ULUP) from their emergence to the present. To aid readers' clear understanding of PSS, its definition is discussed in the beginning. The review summarizes the development of PSS from two perspectives: system components and system application. In terms of system components, namely, the major theories and technologies serving for building the PSS such as related planning theories, GIS and decision support systems (DSS) technologies are reviewed respectively. With respect to system application, the paper discusses in detail their application to urban (land use) planning and other specialized planning separately. Based on this systematic overview, the characteristics in different times, especially current advantages and shortcomings of the PSS are indicated. Moreover, several new research trends in the PSS area are also highlighted for guiding researchers in future studies. Keywords Planning support systems • Land use planning • Urban planning • Spatial decision support systems • GIS IntroductionLand is the foundation of human activities. Without enough land, cities cannot be formed, let alone developed further. With the development of human civilization, natural land has been occupied by human beings increasingly. Because of the rapid growth of the world population, more and more developed land is needed to satisfy the demands of humans. However, only 29 % of the earth's surface is land, and

“…Democracy may give people the aspiration to become involved in planning but this may not necessarily lead to an actual engagement in planning unless the system is designed in such a way to facilitate it (Parker et al, 2010). Much of the literature suggests that the British planning system has created unfavourable conditions for collective participation within a substantially top-down planning system (Boaden et al, 1982;Bailey & Pill, 2015;Lane, 2005;Lieske et al, 2009;Morphet, 2008;Tewdwr-Jones, 2012), but others suggest that it is possible to reshape planning processes to become more bottom-up and facilitate some degree of community empowerment and citizen participation (Aitken, 2010;Bailey & Pill, 2015;Begg et al, 2015;Birchall & Simmons, 2002;Cullingworth, 1990;Matthews et al, 2015;Painter et al, 2011). However, whilst some question about the extent to which any empowerment was genuine (Brand & Gaffikin, 2007;Gallent & Robinson, 2012;Smith, 1981;Seabrook, 1984;Sturzaker, 2011), Baker et al (2007 pointed out that in relation to a previous round of reforms, the UK government identified that improving the effectiveness of citizen involvement was 'at the heart of the reformed planning system' and the government showed its determination to facilitate the effectiveness of citizen participation through various strategies.…”

Although some researchers have addressed the question of what motivates citizens to become involved in lower tier planning in the UK, the phenomenon is not yet fully understood. A lack of hard data, combined with some mutually contradictory arguments in the field, makes for imperfect analysis, and this can potentially undermine the effectiveness of individual engagement in Neighbourhood Plans (NPs). This paper focuses on what motivates citizens to participate in the process of creating NPs in North West England, and explores past theories on individual motivation. This study achieved its research aims through extensive research of the relevant literature, combined with an empirical study of five neighbourhoods in North West England. The main conclusion drawn from the dissertation is that there are complex and multiple motivations of people participating in NPs, and these impetuses are affected by a range of political, environmental and socio-economic factors. This research offers opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of NPs for researchers and NP stakeholders alike.

“…Although there is a growing body of literature on the application of the Internet and visualization tools in urban planning (e.g., Lieske et al., 2009; Lin and Geertman, 2015; Rotondo and Selicato, 2010; Tobias et al., 2016), little research has examined the complexity of participation and communication in the planning process against the background of the network society. The wide-scale promotion of public participation in China is also relatively recent: It started only in 2008 with the introduction of the Urban–Rural Planning Law.…”

The rapid development of information and communication technology has led to the Internet and social media becoming a vital platform for public participation in China. The present research sought to understand the complexity of participation in the network society by taking the cancellation of the number 55 bus route in Shanghai as a case study. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to analyze data from a leading social networking site in China. An analysis of participation patterns led to an understanding of the main characteristics of public participation in the network society, and a statistical analysis of the network revealed the features of elite participants in the planning adjustment. A qualitative approach was also used to explore the communication process, which was influenced by Chinese social capital— guanxi. The case study revealed an uneven pattern of public participation in the network society, and suggestions are provided to enhance fairness and effectiveness in this process.
