Human intent applied to space — plans, zoning, protection designations, and resource-management plans that decide what may happen where. Planning leaves are typically cross-domain: a nature protection area is both Planning and biosphere_ecosystems, and a drinking water protection zone is both Planning and hydrosphere_groundwater.
Key Distinction: Planning vs Governance
Governance is the administrative and legal framework: who has authority where (administrative units, cadastre, addresses, registers). Planning is the use of that authority to shape the future of an area.
Scope
- Spatial plans and zoning: Municipal plans (kommuneplaner), local plans (lokalplaner), and national planning directives
- Planning decisions: Permits, dispensations, and zoning decisions
- Nature protection designations: Natura 2000, protected nature types (§3), and national parks
- Water protection designations: Drinking water interest areas (OSD), abstraction catchments (indvindingsoplande), and water use restrictions
- Resource-management plans: Fisheries management, forest management plans, and marine spatial plans
