ABSTRACT

Three years after promulgating the Urban and Regional Planning Act (3 of 2015), municipalities in Zambia are still struggling to formulate Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). Based on documents review and interviews with 81 key informants, purposefully and snowballing selected, this paper documents the theoretical underpinnings, historic perspectives, current practices and motivation for introducing IDP concept in Zambia. A mixed method research design with grounded theory approach was applied to the study. The study found that the current Integrated Development Planning concept as used in Zambia is not home-grown but emanates from the west. It is highly influenced by the neo liberal developmental theory, traces of the 1947 British colonial, spatial development planning theoretical orientations, and the proximity to the new South African municipality IDP model. Lack of detailed guidelines on IDP is also impending the formulating of IDPs by many municipalities in Zambia.

摘要

在颁布《城市和区域规划法》（2015 年第 3 号）三年后，赞比亚的市政当局仍在努力制定综合发展计划 (IDP)。基于文件审查和对 81 位关键知情人的访谈，有目的地和滚雪球式选择，本文记录了在赞比亚引入 IDP 概念的理论基础、历史观点、当前实践和动机。该研究采用了具有扎根理论方法的混合方法研究设计。研究发现，赞比亚目前使用的综合发展规划概念不是本土的，而是来自西方。深受新自由主义发展理论、1947年英国殖民痕迹、空间发展规划理论取向的影响，以及靠近新的南非城市 IDP 模式。缺乏关于国内流离失所者的详细指导方针也迫使赞比亚许多城市制定国内流离失所者。
