History of regional planning
Regional planning in Bavaria
 1973 division into 18 planning regions with the result
of the formation of 18 regional planning associations
 1976 beginning of planning
Legal base

 Planning competence is given to Regional Planning
Associations
 Technical execution and co-ordination by the Regional
Planning Offices

Regional Level Planning Tools
The Spatial Impact Assessment Procedure
Scope of the SIA
During pre-feasibility stage, large
envisioned projects with spatial
impacts beyond the local level
are already assessed in a singlewindow licensing procedure.
Their spatial impacts are
analysed and evaluated on the
background of existing coordinative and sector plans.
Most important aspect:
The environmental sensitivity of
the selected site and eventual
environmental conflicts arising
from them.
Regional Level Planning Tools
The Spatial Impact Assessment Procedure
Tasks of the SIA
 Impacts on other existing
projects or land uses
 Analysis of the environmental
sensitivity of the area affected
by the project
 Compatibility check whether
project is conflicting with
spatial objectives and targets
of State Development Plans
 Co-ordination with other plans
Regional Level Planning Tools
The Spatial Impact Assessment Procedure
EXAMPLE: HIGHWAY PLANNING
Technical Approach
Multiple Three Tier
Environmental Window Approach:
 Sensitivity analysis of the whole
region by overlay of 10 themes (maps
are existing)
 Corridor alignment identification
 Identification of best alternative

Advantages of the SIA
 Single window approach
 Early (at pre-feasibility stage)
check of possible conflicts
 Early co-ordination with all
concerned authorities and
social groups
 Strong emphasis on
environmental protection
 Effective tool of preventive
environmental management
Sectoral Planning - Forest
Forest Function Plan
1: 50 000
Forests with outstanding importance for soil protection
and erosion control
Forests with importance for avalanche protection
Forests with importance for landscape and floodplain
Recreational site
Forests in urban areas have an outstanding
importance for the function of climatic protection
and balance
Forests on roadsides have an importance for
the protection of the road and for the protection
(noise and other immissions) of the surroundings
