- Description:
- This paper outlines the characteristics of a search process for a planning paradigm to supplant the rational approach. After a brief discussion of the ongoing debate about the shortcomings of the prevailing paradigm, the central issues and assumptions in planning method are identified. These are then used to develop a set of criteria for procedural development and evaluation to guide the search for new approaches to planning. In the first part of the paper such criteria are operationalized to develop a series of procedures and models for community development planning and measures for evaluating these are given. The second part of the paper reports on the actual implementation and evaluation of the approach as an appropriate search strategy. The context, the models, and the evaluation results obtained in two applications, Door County Wisconsin and Janesville Wisconsin, are presented. Based on these applications the potential of the overall approach as a search strategy is discussed.
