Democratic Acceptance of Spatial Planning Policy Measures

Covers a highly current topic that has not been approached systematically by either researchers or practitioners Characterised by interdisciplinary approaches at different levels and using different theoretical frameworks, e.g. psychological and voting behaviour theories, which are applied to spatial planning Theoretical considerations and concepts are tested empirically by means of various methods (e.g. Bayesian multilevel modelling or an experimental approach) Provides ten very concrete and realistic recommendations for political practice, translating the empirical and theoretical findings into guidelines for political decision-makers
