A study on the trajectory of UK rural planning : Towards development of a rural master plan

本研究旨在建立连接自然环境系统和区域社会经济系统的乡村空间规划轨迹。空间规划不应只是传统的农业政策或土地利用规划。它应包括可持续土地使用规划和该地区非农业部门的动态社会经济因素。主要研究结果如下：1。欧洲对“空间规划”的新兴趣显著上升，这是基于“空间”的“关系概念”，范围从城市区域到超国家。2 .英国区域规划和政策中空间战略的兴起，以及从现有发展计划到地方发展框架和社区规划的转变。从英国层面到地方社区层面，地方和地区治理都充满活力。更广泛的政治团体参与决策和实施过程，空间规划的概念和内容由此出现。

This research aimed to set out trajectories for rural spatial planning connecting the natural environmental systems and socio-economic systems of areas. A spatial plan should be more than a conventional agricultural policy or land use plan. It should include sustainable land use planning and dynamic socio-economic elements of non-agricultural sectors in the area.Three main research findings were as follows :1.The remarkable rise in Europe of a new interest in 'spatial planning', which is based on the 'relational conception' of "space", at scales from the city-region to the supra-national.2.The rise of spatial strategies in the UK regional planning and policies, along with the shift from the existing development plans to local development frameworks and community planning.3.There is dynamism in local and regional governance, from the UK level to local community level. A broader range of political communities are engaged in the decision-making and implementation process, through which the concept and contents of spatial planning have been appearing.
