Plan development process as a methodology for contemporary urban planning

Abstract

The concept of the Plan Development Process is based on the possibility of application of the Unified Process methodology on urban planning process. Viewed as a way of organization of planning tasks, the urban planning process may be analyzed in the area of complex process management, particularly the area of software development management which gave rise to some of the most advanced methodologies for arrangement of tasks and standards pertaining to formal methodologies for definition and implementation of program solutions. Complex process management and urban planning face problems of similar complexity. The Unified Process methodology is one of the most successful methods for the organization of software development process. Through the application of the Unified Process methodology on urban planning process, the concept of plan development was formulated, as a methodology for contemporary planning process and the corresponding metamodel as the final level of abstraction bringing together all knowledge of a given domain.

Koncept procesa razvoja plana se zasniva na mogućnosti primene metodologije Unified Process-a na metodologiju procesa urbanog planiranja. Posmatran kao način organizacije planskih zadataka, proces urbanog planiranja može biti analiziran u oblasti upravljanja složenim procesima, a posebno u oblasti upravljanja razvojem softvera u okviru koje su razvijene najnaprednije metodologije za uređenje zadataka i standard koji se odnose na formalne metodologije za definisanje i realizaciju programskih rešenja. Kompleksan proces upravljanja i urbano planiranje se suočavaju sa sličnim problemskim aspektima. Metodologija Unified Process-a je jedna od najuspešnijih metoda za organizovanje procesa razvoja softverskog rešenja. Primenom metodologije Unified Process-a na proces urbanog planiranja formiran je koncept procesa razvoja plana kao metodologije za savremeno urbano planiranje i ujedno stvoren odgovarajući meta-model kao krajnji nivo apstrakcije koji okuplja sva znanja iz tog domena.
