Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Of Municipal Zoning Map Of Gjakove

The overall objective of this project is to prepare Gjilan’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.
