为多样化社会而规划？--对英国政府规划政策导引的回顾

Planning for A Diverse Society? A Review of the UK Government’s Planning Policy Guidance

评估政策对各个社会群体的不同影响已经成为公共政策日益重要的一个环节。本文介绍了多样化验证方法应用于英国政府规划政策导引(PPG)系列文件的研究成果,这一模式和方法由其他政策领域一系列相似的技术方法改进而来。其成果证实了PPG系列文件对男性和女性、少数民族、残障人士、老年人,以及儿童和青年等不同群体的特殊需求给予了较大的但各有不同的关注。文章认为PPG系列文件的改进,有待于对应现代英国社会多样化的现实就规划体系如何满足这样的多样性提出建议。

The assessment of how policies impact differentially upon different groups within society has become an increasingly important feature of public policy. The paper presents the results of the application of a diversity proofing template to the UK Government＇ s Planning Policy Guidance series. The template and approach are modified ones based on a series of similar techniques in other policy fields. The results of the exercise demonstrate the highly variable consideration given across the series to the different and specific needs of women and men, ethnic minorities, disabled people, older people, and children and young people. The paper suggests that the series could be significantly improved to respond to the realities of social diversity in modem Britain and advises on how the planning system can actively cater for such diversity.
