- Abstract in English : This paper describes the process and results of a community development project that provided an opportunity to demonstrate an integrative approach to planning and design, and to implement and evaluate a number of techniques and procedures less frequently used in landscape and urban planning. The approach used in this study is based on a worldview described elsewhere (see this paper) which can best be summarised as an attitude which both presupposes and anticipates public responsibility for planning and design. It defines the social conditions necessary for participatory planning and design as those which allow for the integration of administrative levers, segments, subject domains, and localities across space and encompasses a reflective and critical planning and design process which will contribute to both understanding and making places. Such a worldview suggests the following principles to guide planning and design activities: integration, interpretation, improvisation, participation, and learning.
