The government of Indonesia is once again attempting to create a more decentralised regional development planning system. There have been many reform efforts over the last decade, but all have been compromised by patrimonial tendencies. In the post-Soeharto decentralisation reforms, begun in 1999, the building blocks of functional assignment and finance are finally being put in place, and upon these a truly decentralised planning system could conceivably be fashioned. This decentralisation framework has some flaws, but it is a significant departure from past centralised arrangements. However, the planning component is still conceptually weak and in disarray, caught in the same interagency wrangles that marked the New Order period. Ultimately, the persistently patrimonial bureaucracy may see the planning system as a tool that may be used to regain some of the control given away in the overall decentralisation framework. Progress on a decentralised planning system is also threatened by the possible misuse o...

Women in Botswana and other sedentary pastoral communities in Africa have traditionally been house-builders. However, recent studies and census reports indicate that house construction—especially of modern buildings—has become a ‘man's job’, in that women are absent or grossly under-represented at construction sites. Those women who are employed in the construction industry have badly-paid, unskilled and peripheral jobs such as cleaning, mixing concrete and cooking. While some scholars have attributed this male appropriation of female roles to the transfer of housing from the female domestic sphere to the male public sphere, this paper uses Westernisation theory to account for the changes. With the introduction of Western socioeconomic, political and institutional systems, gender roles have tended to become more European than African. The paper shows that through the widespread adoption in Lobatse, Botswana, of Western building processes, skills, house designs and materials, African women have lost their ...

The centrepiece of planning in post-apartheid South Africa is the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which is intended to provide strategic guidance to newly constructed municipalities, and to link and coordinate the many different sectoral plans and planning processes. The IDP was introduced by legislation in 1996 but it has multiple and diverse origins, and is the product of both international trends and influences and the specific South African context. In terms of practical outcome, the first round of IDPs has been disappointing, but integrated development planning should be understood as an incremental learning process.

This paper examines appropriate models for the education and accreditation of planners in the Commonwealth Caribbean. Using primarily the examples of Trinidad and Tobago and some broader Caribbean experiences, the paper examines the evolution of planning in the Caribbean and its specific needs for local training in planning. It evaluates the existing regional university programmes in planning, using a relevant Commonwealth model from the New Zealand and Australian environments. Notwithstanding the specific requirements of the region, its training programmes are found to be very similar to the broader Commonwealth model. Even given the colonial heritage of the region, there seems to be a case for more relevant teaching materials and methods in the Caribbean. Finally, while local forms of quality control are suggested for any accreditation process, the paper recommends a continued relationship with a broader Commonwealth accreditation process.

Policy planning and implementation traditionally has been viewed as a linear process in which well-defined goals are smoothly translated into concrete actions in a static environment. However, in reality, it is symbolised by processes that routinely deviate from their formal procedures and circumvent the official decision-making channels. The present case study of the Bombay Urban Development Programme (BUDP) captures the dynamic nature of policy development. BUDP's performance is influenced by conflicts that arise in the socio-political and institutional arenas. The insights that emerge from this case are relevant to the manner in which policy analysis is approached and studied.

Indonesia's largest cities have spread beyond their official boundaries and analysis of their growth dynamics requires the identification of zones surrounding these cities that form part of an extended metropolitan region. Such an analysis is performed for six large cities, using data from the 1990 Population Census and the 1995 inter-censal survey (SUPAS). The methodology used in delineating an inner and outer zone surrounding the official metropolitan area, and the demographic and labour market dynamics in these zones, is discussed. Transformation of the extended metropolitan region is more advanced in the three largest cities—Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung.

As an important step in the reform of state-owned enterprises in China, a new round of housing reform that aims to break the previous link between the country's work units and their workers has been proposed. This study finds that employees in state-owned work units and those of the private sector have very similar attitudes to the new housing policy. Even the employees of the state-owned units did not oppose the direction of the new reforms. This study signals that the reforms should be continued and accelerated.

Home-ownership in Hong Kong has been hailed as the preferred tenure during the past two decades. Since 1987 the government has pursued a home-ownership policy, mainly by encouraging private-sector development and by providing a limited number of flats for sale. While home-ownership is still cherished as the bulwark of housing policy, the Asian financial crisis of 1997 has made it extremely risky. This paper is concerned with the risks of home-ownership, its relationship with the economy and the implications of a home-ownership policy for the role of the state. It is argued that while home-ownership may be risky the state, through appropriate institutional arrangements, can share risk and responsibilities with home-owners.
