Evaluation in the Planning Process examines the role of evaluation in the overall planning process and the implications of evaluation for the organization and management of studies. Emphasis is placed on the nature of evaluation and the functions it should fulfill in the urban and regional planning process, as well as the interrelationships that should exist between evaluation and other planning activities. This book consists of 12 chapters organized into three sections. The first section focuses on principles governing the use of evaluation in the planning process and includes a model of general urban and regional planning. Various methods that are available for evaluating planning proposals are considered, with emphasis on the social cost-benefit approach and the planning balance sheet method. The chapters that follow explore the role of measurement in plan evaluation and review seven planning studies to critically examine UK experience in the application of evaluation methods to urban and regional planning problems. This book concludes by presenting the principles and guidelines for the short-listing of options and assessing the influence of various practical circumstances on the planning process. Some final recommendations on the organization and structure of the planning process, and the nature and role of evaluation within it, are offered. This book is intended for specialists, planners, and those who are engaged in the task of aiding decisions on urban and regional planning problems. This text will appeal especially to those who are concerned with formulating planning processes and with the management of studies.

This book is the result of a three day workshop on "Evaluation in theory and practice in spatial planning" held in Ramsey Hall, University College London, in September 1996. Some 30 people from 8 different countries attended and 20 papers were presented. The majority of them now form the basis for this book. This occasion was the third on the topic, the two preceding having taken place in Umea in June 1992 and in Bari in 1994. Following these three meetings, we can now say that this small, industrious, international family really enjoy meeting up from time to time at each others places, in the presence of older members and new children, each one presenting his/her own recent experiences. It particularly enjoys exchanging views and arguing about the current state and the future of evaluation in spatial planning (all families have their vices ... ). It is also pleasing to see these experiences and discussions resulting in a book for those who could not attend and for the broader clan in the field. Not long time ago, but ages in the accelerated academic time scale, evaluation in planning established its own role and distinct features as an instrument for helping the decision-making process. Now this role and these features are exposed to major challenges. First, the evolution of planning theory has lead to the conception of new planning paradigms, based on theories of complexity and communicative rationality.

Evaluation is an established activity in public sector organizations. Evaluation is rooted in the principle that government interventions should have demonstrable benefits. In the realm of planning, there are two broad areas of evaluation: (1) planning evaluation and (2) plan evaluation. Planning evaluation is concerned about evaluating planning processes and planning practice, while plan evaluation focuses on assessing plans and their outcomes. Plan evaluation includes assessing the quality of plans, the success of plan implementation, and the outcomes of plans. While both forms of evaluation remain relatively unexplored, when compared to other areas of planning literature, the gap in knowledge regarding plan evaluation is particularly pronounced. This research contributes to our understanding of plan evaluation, particularly in regards to assessing the quality of official plans. This dissertation follows an article-based format and includes four manuscripts. At the time of submission, two manuscripts (Manuscripts 1 and 2) were published in the Journal of Planning Practice and Research and Journal of Planning Education and Research, while the remaining two manuscripts (Manuscripts 3 and 4) were under review at the Journal of the American Planning Association and Journal of Planning Education and Research. Manuscripts 1 and 2 were co-authored with Dr. Mark Seasons, Advisor. Manuscripts 1 and 2 reviewed the existing literature on evaluation in planning. Manuscript 1 examined the factors that contribute to the under-use of plan outcome evaluation in local government planning practice. The concept of evaluation was explained and the relationship that exists between program evaluation and plan evaluation was explored. Manuscript 2 reviewed the major approaches of program evaluation and evaluation in planning, including formative, summative, ex ante, on going, and ex post evaluations. The challenges to evaluating plans were also discussed including the reliance on ex ante evaluations; a lack of outcome evaluation methodologies; the attribution gap; and institutional hurdles. Areas requiring further research were highlighted in both of these manuscripts. Manuscripts 3 and 4 discussed the results from survey research and content analysis. Manuscript 3 discussed the results of a web-based anonymous survey administered to 290 municipalities across the province of Ontario. The findings indicated that practicing planners generally regard plan quality as important; researchers and practitioners should not treat plan quality principles equally; and implementation and monitoring and evaluation principles were undervalued as being very important contributors to plan quality when compared to other principles. Manuscript 4 discussed the findings from content evaluations of 63 official plans found in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) region using 70 indicators to measure nine plan quality principles discussed in the literature. The findings indicated that goals and policies were the strongest principles; fact base, monitoring and evaluation, and public participation were the weakest principles; implementation and inter-organizational coordination were somewhat weak; and plan organization and presentation and legislative requirements were reasonably strong. Based on the findings from the literature review, survey research, and content analysis, several strategies to enhance the quality of official plans are proposed, including: strengthening the importance of the provincial government's role in planning as a means of improving the quality of local official plans; enhancing implementation and monitoring and evaluation provisions in planning initiatives; better describing the empirical foundation and participation process used to inform plan development; and extending plan quality evaluations to planning practice.
