“…A second warning is that any critiques of planning and all the recommendations for alternative forms of planning might be used for the better or worse. Several attempts to improve planning have, in fact, opened the way for planning reforms that not only made planning more difficult, but certainly did not always improve spatial governance in terms of democracy, public goods, and environmental sustainability (Lennon, Waldron 2019;Lord, Tewdwr-Jones 2018;Niedziałkowski, Beunen 2019). The preferred relation between planning and government cannot be judged in general terms nor distilled from theory.…”

“…Neo-liberal and market-oriented ideas had a profound 118 disP 225 • 57.2 (2/2021) impact on planning and the way in which it is institutionalised. In several countries, the critiques of planning have served the minimalisation and marginalisation of planning as a government domain (Gunder 2010;Lennon, Waldron 2019;Lord, Tewdwr-Jones 2014;Niedziałkowski, Beunen 2019;Olesen, Carter 2018). Planning reform consequently implied that planning was deregulated and decentralised.…”

His research explores the potentials and limitations of environmental policy and planning from the perspective of adaptive governance and sustainability. It focuses on innovation and evolution in governance, paying attention to the dynamics of policy implementation and integration, multi-level governance, stakeholder involvement, and the performance of institutional structures. Martijn Duineveld is an AssociateProfessor in the Cultural Geography Group at Wageningen University and Co-director of the Centre for Space, Place and Society. His research programme is titled Urban Governance and the Politics of Planning and Design. He is a co-founder and active contributor to the emerging body of literature on Evolutionary Governance Theory. His recent research is focused on democratic innovation, conflicts and power, and materiality and object formation.

“…Due to several legal and administrative conditions, urban green space in Warsaw is jeopardized by land development that significantly grew after the 1989 transition and then after EU accession in 2004, which were followed by inflow of funds for new public and private investments and deregulation of land use planning (Niedziałkowski and Beunen, 2019). Past neglect in green space management and observed effects of climate change also negatively influenced urban green space and contributed to the need for increased tree removal (Environmental Protection Program for the Capital City of Warsaw for the years 2017-2020 with a perspective until 2023, 2017).…”

Forestry and urban green space governance experiences rapid changes due to bottom up environmental pressure and top down changes of legislation. To deepen our understanding of crafting preferable environmental reactions towards environmental pressure, we introduced the perspective of environmental street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) and explored it using Oliver’s strategic response framework. Drawing from case studies on the governance of the moose and urban green space in Poland, we investigated the complex and mediating sphere of SLB “policy intentions” in environmental governance. We argue that SLBs can distance themselves from new expectations if these are perceived as “socially constructed” and potentially disturbing for SLBs’ professional routines. Such limited or moderated reactions can be a coping mechanism of SLBs trying to balance a complex landscape of various, even contradictory pressures. Our findings break the monolithic-type image of a ‘decision-maker’ into complex web of interrelations between administrative units and political structures. They also suggest a need of new forms of environmental (post-) bureaucracy to reinforce social trust and to deal with ambiguities of nature.

“…Land-use structure is affected by geographic location; policies implemented at the local, regional, and national level; socioeconomic situation; spatial features that determine potential development strategies in a given area; existing land-use types; a need to address and resolve the consequences of misguided planning decisions; provision of local zoning plans and zoning decisions; restructuring measures implemented in a given area; as well as guidelines for rational land management [7][8][9]. Despite the adoption of numerous legal acts aimed at protection of the environment and promotion of sustainable development, poorly designed legislation can exert a negative impact on land-use structure [10]. Sustainable land use is influenced by socioeconomic processes that affect spatial development, and by the effectiveness of land planning and land management tools that regulate these processes [11].…”

Urbanization processes are some of the key drivers of spatial changes which shape and influence land use and land cover. The aim of sustainable land use policies is to preserve and manage existing resources for present and future generations. Increasing access to information about land use and land cover has led to the emergence of new sources of data and various classification systems for evaluating land use and spatial changes. A single globally recognized land use classification system has not been developed to date, and various sources of land-use/land-cover data exist around the world. As a result, data from different systems may be difficult to interpret and evaluate in comparative analyses. The aims of this study were to compare land-use/land-cover data and selected land use classification systems, and to determine the influence of selected classification systems and spatial datasets on analyses of land-use structure in the examined area. The results of the study provide information about the existing land-use/land-cover databases, revealing that spatial databases and land use and land cover classification systems contain many equivalent land-use types, but also differ in various respects, such as the level of detail, data validity, availability, number of land-use types, and the applied nomenclature.
