REGIONALIZATION FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF PHYSICAL PLANNING

Summary/Abstract: The scope of physical planning is almost always determined by the administrative-territorial units borders, due to practical reasons (source of data, competence of decisions) as well as to theoretical ones (the physical plan is an unceasing procese, while borders of units must be permanent). It is therefore impossible to deduce the administrative-territorial units from the physical plan, quite contrary, the latter has to adapt to them, although it can have influence over them. Neither is the hierarchy of levels of physical plans the source for determining the scope of the plan, because influences between plans of higher and lower orders are mutual. Thus, neither in practice nor in theory, can the hierarchic-temporal sequence of plan-making be pre-supposed. On the levels of physical plans between county and state there still remains a possibility of theoretical and scientific analysis of scope and its boundaries based on the study of regionalization, and at disposal are methods based on three region concepts: the homogenous, polarized and planned region. Nevertheless, borders are ultimately reduced to adaptation to existing borders of administrative-territorial units.
