A Biblio-Systematic Analysis of Factors Affecting the Compliance of Residential Planning Standards and Regulations: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

The planning regulations and standards indicate the demands of urbanizations and settlements from a quality point of view and from a big scale to a specific item of the urban parts. The primary purpose of this paper is to create a conceptual framework that serves as a mean to measure the variables influencing the extent of planning compliance in an urban area. The method used is a bibliometric approach as an examination of the area of research. These variables originate from a comprehensive analysis of the literature across countries and time frame from 1976 to 2019 and can affect planning violations positively or negatively by each variable. The findings show five classes of variables which affected the planning deviation in most case studies. The administrative, legislation, social, economic and demographic considerations perform a significant part in ensuring adherence at local and government stage with planning violations. It is important to improve administrative procedures and to revise planning norms and regulations in an attempt to achieve local conditions to deal with planning deviation issues. Cooperation and coordination efforts between authorities and stakeholders are essential to the monitoring and enforcement of planning standards and regulations.
