Compliance With Social Requirements For Integrated Local Land Use Planning In Serbia

Integrated local land use planning (ILLUP) is promoted as one of the planning instruments in giving territorial expression to societies' goals, such as sustainable development. Similar efforts were invested in Serbia twice - during the post-WWII socialist period and during the transition towards democratic capitalism after 2000. However, our research on local land use planning as an integrated approach revealed significant inconsistencies in the practice in Serbia with the intended ILLUP. This directed the literature search and review and helped conceptualize not only process-, but also system-related social ILLUP requirements needed for employing the instrument. Apart from offering the heterarchical structure of ILLUP requirements, the paper explains its evolution and advocates calibrating the contextualization with standardization during ILLUP research.
