| dc.description.abstract | English: This article aims to provide a temporal and critical perspective on national spatial planning since the 1970s until the most recent directive in 2012. From the first spatial policy initiative, the National Physical Development Plan (1975), radical changes have occurred in the various approaches to national planning. The most recent spatial planning directive in South Africa is the National Development Plan (2012), which has a diversified approach with political, social and economic goals. In the past four decades, national planning policy and directives have moved through balanced and unbalanced regional growth approaches. The top-down approach of the 1970s with rigid area-specific directives transformed into a bottom-up more adaptable, socially oriented and interpretation-based approach in recent years. In the process, South Africa’s spatial policy has evolved from a policy dominated by political objectives in the 1960s to a multi-sectoral policy which purports to be based only on economic principles of a multi-sectoral free-market system; from one of strong government intervention to one of minor intervention. The general perception of this article is that only some of these policies are substantially attributed to effective socio-economic development due to the lack of spatially focused initiatives. | en_ZA |
| dc.description.abstract | Afrikaans: Hierdie artikel het ten doel om ‘n chronologiese en kritiese perspektief te bied op nasionale ruimtelike beplanning vanaf die 1970’s tot die mees onlangse riglyn in 2012. Sedert die eerste ruimtelike beleidsinisiatief, die Nasionale Fisiese Ontwikkelingsplan (1975), het radikale veranderinge in die benadering tot nasionale beplanning plaasgevind. Die mees onlangse beplanningsdirektief in Suid-Afrika is die Nasionale Ontwikkelingsplan (2012), wat ʼn gediversifiseerde benadering tot politieke, sosiale en ekonomiese doelwitte bied. Sedert 1975 het nasionale beplanningsbeleid en voorskrifte deur fases van gebalanseerde èn ongebalanseerde benaderings tot streeksgroei beweeg. In die proses is ʼn outokratiese benadering met rigiede areaspesifieke riglyne stelselmatig omskep in ‘n meer aanpasbare, sosiaal-georiënteerde en interpretasie-gebaseerde benadering in onlangse jare. Suid-Afrika se ruimtelike beplanning het ontwikkel van ‘n beleid wat oorheers is deur politieke doelwitte in die 1960’s na een wat volgens aanspraak geskoei is suiwer op die ekonomiese beginsels van ‘n multisektorale vryemarkstelsel; van ʼn beleid van sterk staatsingryping tot een van mindere staatsingryping. Hierdie artikel het ten doel om ‘n kritiese en temporale perspektief te bied op nasionale ruimtelike beplanning vanaf die 1970’s tot die mees onlangse riglyn in 2011. Die algemene persepsie van die artikel is dat nie een van hierdie beleide noemenswaardig bygedra het tot waarneembare en maksimum sosio-ekonomiese ontwikkeling nie as gevolg van die tekort aan ruimtelik gefokusde inisiatiewe. | af |
