Aud Tennf8yMarch 9, 2012About planning' I find that the prneset definition from Wikipedia does not really grasp what it means in our context (or what I think it means ). Definitions of planning usually include a future-orientation, and a focus on how to achieving something we want or avoid something we do not want. Further, they normally include application of knowledge in order to assess which actions are necessary in order to achieve certain objectives and which should be avoided, as well as consequences of certain actions. The aim of planning may hence be defined as to bring knowledge into decision-making in order to improve decision-makers’ abilities to make decisions about future actions which contribute to the achievement of their objectives (see for instance Faludi 1973, Friedmann 1987). Byrne (2003:174) discusses planning as “the specification of a proposed future coupled with systematic intervention and/or regulations in order to achieve that future […] a control parameter – something which can have a profound influence on the future which comes to passâ€. Planning can hence be defined as to apply knowledge in order to define what needs to be done in order to arrive at a desired future situation.Aud
