Analysis of program planning and policy development

in the development process of a region, state, province or district, a plan is very important. The plan will determine the direction and level of success of a development objective. in accordance with the development of the era and the development of the science of planning, a plan change from time to time. Development planning so far only refers to the trend of the past and is considered influential factors constant. Plan together with the prediction of the future in a linear fashion, according to past trends. The fact planning model thus no longer realistic because of the development of the strategic environment is very dynamic. Need Strategic Planning; question is How to phrase Strategic Plan?

CHANGES IN PLANNING MODEL

Changes in the development paradigm, including the paradigm of public service requires a change of Planning Macroeconomic Model of Sectoral Planning to Strategic Planning
1. Macro Model of Sectoral Planning: Oriented growth with long-term goals are translated into the medium-term targets and short-term Main features: centralized and sectoral oriented, is not sensitive to the dynamics of the environment, equipment and quantitative targets, difficult and costly oversight, accountability in the achievement of quantitative targets .
. 2. Strategic Planning Model: Based on Strategic Environmental Analysis, oriented to the development community (Community Base Development); The main feature is the decentralized and community-oriented, sensitive to the dynamics of the environment, Target moving (Moving Target) and qualitative, relatively easy oversight, accountability to the process which refers to the Vision and Mission

Strategic Planning: The process of intentionally bringing organizational resources, opportunities and threat environment with the objective to be achieved organization planned strategy to increase effectiveness of the achievement of organizational goals Intentional or not, all organizations have a strategy. There's intended strategy and realized strategy.

spatial factors applied areas within the framework of analysis and economic theory.

in the study of regional development, the role of spatial regions in terms of historical development has undergone a change and growth. some cases of spatial (spatial region) can be expressed as the concentration of industrial activities (agglomeration) and urbanization to the big cities, the establishment of markets and new centers that lead to changes in the sphere of influence or area of service (marketing), between the town and rural areas there is an increasingly close relationship, are complementary to each other, and perhaps also necessary to improve the division of development (development region) as a whole. the cases above are topics that are important and interesting discussion of attention because it has a fundamental influence on the arrangement and use of landscape areas, both regionally and nationally.

in economic analysis, spatial factor and distance factor in the beginning is secondary or implicitly compared to the time element. attention to the discussion of issues lokasional and spatial dimensions become more prominent, especially since some eight decades ago (1930s) that the time coincided with the emergence of ideas that focus on spatial planning areas - regions.

dimensions of geography and economic landscape is included as an important additional variable into the framework of development theory. with such fundamental questions in economic analysis (classical and liberal) who ranged in commodities "what" that diprodusir (what to Produce), "how to" produce it (how to Produce) and "for whom" the commodity produced (for whom to Produce), still must be added again to the question "where" the production is done (Nowhere to Produce). this means that the spatial dimension of the region has given an important color into economic analysis.

symptoms economy will become more clear and evident when the spatial factors applied areas within a framework of analysis and economic theory. explicit consideration of the importance of spatial dimension in development planning region can be expressed through five main regional economic issues. The first, is related to the determination of the economic landscape that is about the spread of economic activities in the landscape areas - regions. in this connection several important questions can be raised, for example, what factors affect the determination of the location of each individual activity? how to explain the spread of agricultural production activities located in a vast expanse of land? What characteristics of rural and urban archipelago? there is strong correlation between the placement of business (industry / factories, enterprises, infrastructure and facilities development, public service facilities) with the selection of spatial location proper region, then this error can be corrected by relocating but this required a huge cost and time long.
