description |
Local authorities in South Africa need to compile and implement local economic
development plans. These plans are not only required by law as a component of
integrated development plans, but also emanate from the pressing needs of many
communities for development, job creation, and greater welfare and prosperity.
A review of the historical and theoretical background reveals changing approaches and
different theories to defend the actions taken. A critique of typical strategies and
processes reveals that no one strategy or process can be universally applied, but that
these should be adapted to the community's unique circumstances. Shortcomings and
appropriate applications are indicated.
The management plan presents a process to enable local authorities in partnership with
the community to compile a plan for locally generated and directed development. This
plan can, but need not, be a component of an integrated development plan and is thus
compatible with integrated development planning and the formulation of local
development objectives.
The plan draws on a number of planning methodologies including urban planning, city
marketing, strategic planning and neuro-linguistic programming approaches. Techniques
from these and community development methodologies are included to guide the
community through the process of creating a vision, analysis, goal setting, plan and
strategy formulation, implementation and review. This management plan is designed as a
generic process that can be applied to a variety of circumstances. The flexible nature of
the process permits innovation and adaptations to local needs and other fields of
planning. It also provides scope for further research on theories, methodologies and
techniques. === Geography === D.Phil. (Geography) |
