planning activities

Though not legislated, it also includes a long term strategic plan (e.g. a growth and development strategy). On the whole it the planning scope of practises in the municipality can be seen as “competent” . All the requirements of legislation are met.

systems
The various planning tools and products at the disposal of a municipality are supported by various information systems. These systems can be relatively large and complex (e.g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial restructuring.

organisational tactics
The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in its “awareness” phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government.
