Abstract
Abstract This paper sets forth a conceptual framework for better understanding the relationships between the planning process and community decision-making. From an initial assumption concerning the nature of the decision-making process, the paper suggests four sets of independent variables that affect decision outcomes: (1) process roles (including the dimensions of specialization and skill); (2) the decision field (including the environment for decision not only in the community but within the deciding body itself); (3) planning and action strategies; and (4) issue attributes. Using this framework, a series of hypotheses are posed for future research, and the potential implications for urban planning are discussed.
