The concept of the public interest has often been revisited within
theoretical debates related to the fields of politics, decision making, and
planning. While it has been claimed that the public interest should serve as
one of the main pillars for decision-making, various authors reject the
possibility of its operationalization, describing it as a vague criterion for
any empirical analysis. With that in mind, the main aim of this paper is to
present the role of the public interest and its long lasting tradition in
Serbian planning practice from socialism until today, as well as its
operational dimensions in relation to the specific post-socialist planning
context. This paper will first briefly discuss the nature of the public
interest concept in relation to planning. It will go on to present some of
the socio-economic aspects of Serbian socialist and post-socialist planning
practice, so as to better understand the local context in which the public
interest is framed. Finally, it will propose the dimensions of planning
practice in which the public interest is articulated. The findings were
derived from the analysis of the role of the public interest in planning
theory, planning practice, and the Serbian legal planning framework. |
