Efficiency of the spatial planning system of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Prostor kao složen dinamički sustav je ograničen resurs koji zahtjeva organiziranost društvenih pojava i procesa. Stoga, planiranje kao svjesno usmjeravanje razvoja postaje pojava suvremenog društva. Osnovni cilj rada je na temelju analiza dostupne dokumentacije, statističke i kartografske analize kroz metode prikupljanja i metode intervjua ukazati na problematiku nedostataka sustava prostornog planiranja FBiH. Stoga, kao glavni rezultat istraživanja proizlazi zaključak o neučinkovitosti i nerazvijenosti sustava prostornog planiranja FBiH u odnosu na susjedne zemlje, što je zacijelo posljedica složene administrativno-političke situacije u državi. Međusobna nepovezanost, neprovođenje javnih rasprava u procesu planiranja, nedostatak primjene GIS-a samo su nekolicina problema s kojima se sustav susreće. Zatim, nedostatak prostorno – planske dokumentacije, krenuvši od prostornih planova najviše razine do planskih dokumenata na nižim razinama, ostavlja mogućnosti za razne malverzacije.Space as a complex dynamic system is a limited resource which requires organization of social appearances and processes. Therefore, spatial planning as a conscious direction of development becomes the emersion of modern society. The basic objective of the work is to point out the problems of spatial planning system of the FBiH based on the analysis of available documentation, statistical and cartographic analysis through methods of collection and interviews. Therefore, as the main result of the research comes the conclusion of the inefficiency and underdevelopment of the FBiH spatial planning system in relation to neighboring countries, which is certainly the consequence of a complex administrative and political situation in the state. Mutual disconnection, failure to implement public hearings in the planning process, lack of GIS application are just a few of the problems that the system faces. Then, the lack of spatial planning documentation, from top level spatial plans to planning documents at lower levels, leaves opportunities for various malversations.
