The Roles of Stewardship and Public Participation in the Conservation of Architectural Heritage from the Perspective of the Theory of Complex Property Rights
This article examines the roles of stewardship, ownership, and public participation in the conservation of architectural heritage from the perspective of the Theory of Complex Property Rights (TCPR). The analysis addresses three research questions: (1) What is the role of property rights and private owners in the conservation of architectural heritage? (2) Who can be the best-suited owner or serve as the best steward of architectural heritage, ho…
Planning, Pluralism, Markets
What approaches should be used to plan urban development in pluralistic societies? This paper argues that the decentralized planning method is a better fit for pluralistic societies, not only because it is inherently more democratic but also because it provides a better framework for the functioning of markets. We first distinguish between centralized and decentralized planning (acknowledging that in reality all forms of planning fall somewhere i…
The spontaneous rules of spontaneous development
This study contributes to the long but still heated debate on spontaneity in urban development. While the critics of spontaneity consider it synonymous with chaos, its proponents emphasise the benefits of spontaneous order. In this paper, we assume that spontaneous development may have both positive and negative aspects and we seek to identify what determines whether and to what extent spontaneity will produce a beneficial social/spatial order. T…
Matching the degree of privateness/collectiveness to the scale of resource use
Overcoming the failures of citizen participation
This article examines the obstacles to public participation in a representative democracy and the approaches that can help to overcome these obstacles. Democracy is never perfect because of the inherent difficulties of developing democratic institutions, yet the drawbacks of representative democracy are considerably greater than those of direct democracy. We consider public participation as an element of direct democracy integrated into the struc…
Complex private-common property rights in institutional and planning theories
This research focuses on a substantial gap between theories of institutions and property rights: institutions are accepted as complex social structures, but property rights are generally considered as simple, that is, either private or public. Although usually unacknowledged, this simplified understanding of property rights is actually based on Samuelson’s theory developed six decades ago. According to Samuelson, the inherent characteristics of g…

Coasean versus Pigovian solutions to the problem of social cost
This paper works towards drawing a proper relationship between the Coasean and Pigovian approaches that should be based on the distinction between individual/private and shared/common entitlements. Because of the specific goals of his work, Coase (1960) does not make an explicit distinction between the two types of property rights; however, there are basic differences in their management, so this distinction is essential. According to Coase, the …
Urban transformation with Turas open innovations; opportunities for transitioning through transdisciplinarity
The relationship between planning and the market from the perspective of property rights theory
Current social and economic theory has yet to explain why, despite the many advantages of the market mechanism, planning is employed at all levels of market economy. Like other studies, this research proposes an explanation based on the form of property rights; however, it uses specific definitions of market, private planning and collective planning that establish unambiguous links between them and the structure of ownership. Thus, the article su…
Measuring urban form at community scale
Property rights and methods of nomocratic planning
This paper examines the methods of planning of complex systems. More precisely, it applies property rights analysis to the methodology of nomocracy, a leading branch of the theory of complexity in planning. To study the methodology of planning, the paper focuses on its objectives and methods, as well as the characteristics of nomocratic rules. It briefly examines the literature on the methods of planning of complex systems, the methods of the nom…
Diversity in the suburbs
Types of planning and property rights
This research contributes to the debate concerning the nature of planning in complex systems, and particularly to the theory of teleocracy (the approach based on direct provisions aimed at specific ends) and nomocracy (the approach based on rules aimed at general rather than specific ends). It draws parallels with the theory of regulation and establishes a connection between rules, regulation and the nomocratic planning of social activities. It t…
