Municipality of Ferizaj

On behalf of the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure, INSI is currently engaged in providing consultancy services for the Municipality of Prishtina in preparing their Municipal Development Plan. . .
 &nbsp; 
The overall objective of this project is to prepare Prishtina’s Municipal Development Plan for the entire municipal territory. The Municipal Development Plan is a multi-sectorial spatial planning document that determines the long-term goals of economic, social and spatial development, including the development of urban and rural areas (villages) within the municipal territory. The municipal approach is heterogeneous in terms of their long term vision, objectives and specific expertise required, in terms of their human resource capacities, size and population, which adds to the overall complexity of this process. The process of drafting the plan comprises of establishing municipal working groups, composed of various thematic aspects such as land use and environment, demography and social, economic development and infrastructure. INSI’s role is to professionally support each working group with specific experts of relevant sectors. The whole process is largely inclusive actively engaging representatives from different communities, civil societies, and business communities, as well as representatives from the central government ministries. Besides assisting municipalities in the preparation of their Municipal Development Plan, INSI is also engaged in capacity building of the municipal employees in administering this document and GIS software that they’ll use in the future. . .
&nbsp;
The drafting process has to be compliant with various phases/chapters that address all thematic sectors through textual and cartographic representation, as envisaged by the legislative framework that regulates the drafting process. Main drafting phases comprise of:

Municipality of Prishtina

The Municipal Zoning Map is a multi-sectorial spatial planning document that determines the development conditions of urban and rural areas (villages) within the municipal territory. Throughout this assignment, INSI identifies the appropriate development conditions and measures for future developments including the protection of the environment and existing natural resources, as ll as the underground and overground resources. Furthermore, general development conditions define development regulations and standards that apply to all zones. General development conditions may include but are not limited to, requirements and rules, protection measures, design patterns and guidelines. INSI establishes the uses and development conditions for each zone and the terms of construction that aim to achieve the goals and objectives of the Municipal Development Plan and for their spatial and geographical extension based on its Future Land Use Map and Sectorial Development Plans.
