区域行政规划的内涵及法律性质

伴随着区域经济一体化进程,形成了跨行政区划的区域经济,然而实践中区域经济却遭遇了以行政区划为基础的权力行政的壁垒。面对这种现实困境,一种新型的、能够解决区域经济和行政区划矛盾的区域行政规划逐渐兴起,但是,目前对于区域行政规划的内涵及法律性质缺乏系统的分析和理论上的研究,导致其出现了诸多争议。

北部湾区域行政规划的法学分析

区域行政规划是促进区域协调发展的法律机制。北部湾相关区域行政规划存在缺乏法律指引、协作机制薄弱、公众参与程序缺位等法治缺陷。在借鉴国外区域行政规划经验的基础上,我们可从完善法律制度、强化政府间协调机制、构筑公众参与机制三个层面构建北部湾区域行政规划的法律保障机制。

区域行政规划的司法救济

区域行政规划因为有利害关系人的广泛、积极参与,不仅能使区域行政规划的实施取得良好的经济、社会效果,更能减少恶性群体性事件的发生,化解社会矛盾,维持社会的稳定。然而,既要关注公益的维护,也要注重其与私益的平衡,在诸多手段中,司法救济是最为重要的一个途径,其对私权的保护更具有直观性。

我国区域行政规划合法性的拷问与释答

伴随着区域经济一体化进程,区域行政规划逐渐兴起,同时也面临着合法性的质疑。从行政与法律的关系来看,在法律保留原则之下,区域行政规划必须具有组织法上的明确授权,但并不必然要求具备行为法上的依据。从中央与地方关系来看,在现行宪政体制之下,区域上级政府统一编制实施区域行政规划具有法律上的明确授权和宪政基础;同时基于纵向行政分权和地方政府自主性,区域地方政府间自主联合编制实施区域规划也具有相应作用空间。
