19、至廣大居民都能更好地了解規(guī)劃活動的各種可能及政府的局限。無論是單個的規(guī)劃，還是整個規(guī)劃體系都需要這種監(jiān)控，在每種情況下，實踐都不可能與理論完全一致。</p><p>　　就單個規(guī)劃而言，復審過程即使有也都隨意性大，不那么正規(guī)化。規(guī)劃機構的復審和修正工作也不正規(guī)，而是按照政治上的優(yōu)先考慮來進行，或?qū)鹊美婕瘓F（包括其他政府機構）的大聲抱怨作出反應。后一種情況往往代表規(guī)劃活動的結局，其優(yōu)點為：可以接君早先在規(guī)劃準備

20、金段避而不談而在政治上有正義的問題。多數(shù)規(guī)劃組織都沒有財力和時間，也不愿意對規(guī)劃績效進行系統(tǒng)的、連續(xù)的評估。不論是處于有意還是疏忽，總之，規(guī)劃活動成了典型的“雜亂無章”的增量過程。有第三方做成的評估，通常包含對政策的有效性作專業(yè)分析，有時范圍更加廣泛、更加仔細周到、更加公正。遺憾的是，地方規(guī)劃很少能得到詳細的、獨立的評估。即使在對規(guī)劃政策進行相當嚴格的分析的地方，正如摩爾和羅德1977年對英國區(qū)域規(guī)劃政策的評估中，整成難以界定，相互矛盾

21、，有不斷地變化翻新，加之經(jīng)濟體制的開放性，程問題的指標，冒昧的假設，以及令人懷疑的統(tǒng)計方法，所有這一切加在一起使得評估結果難以令人信服。</p><p>　　由此可見，規(guī)劃績效評估并非易事。首先，弄清評估項目就不容易。政策、策略及某些具體的規(guī)劃發(fā)放或隱蔽或間接，或特別，各不相同，還存在無效政策的難題。而且，當某些特定的目標成為數(shù)家機構爭相采納的測評方法的對象時，要把相關的一套政策與特定問題區(qū)分開來也不容易。正因為

22、如此，即使在一個具體的規(guī)劃文件中，同一個目的也可能涉及幾個政策。其次，必要的資料也難以得到，最好的時候也可能用不能令人滿意的代用指標。最后，因果關系的衡量還會在開放的復雜的社會中造成無法克服的困難，在各種政策相互強化或相互對立的地方，或在反應明顯滯后的地方，情況尤其如此。</p><p>　　規(guī)劃體系或規(guī)劃本身的績效監(jiān)控視乎引起了更多的注意。商業(yè)部門、社團組織、政府部門、官僚部門，以及學術界都不厭其煩地對規(guī)劃的準

23、備過程及決策程序提出批評，并熱衷于提出改進意見。政府通常采用謹慎使用的系統(tǒng)評估方法，強調(diào)收集有關資料，比如審批規(guī)劃申請所需的時間等，其目的是改進現(xiàn)有規(guī)劃體制，偶爾也有更激進的大修大補。</p><p>　　在更深層次上，許多勤于認真思考的人懷疑規(guī)劃體系是否能達到其特定目標——雖然這并沒有妨礙規(guī)劃人員奮力工作，而是因為城市政策本來就太復雜，很難獲得成功。分析家們很快找到了資本注意國家妨礙規(guī)劃成功的原因。這方面的文獻

24、大多使用了所謂的批評的東西來幫助改進自由民主混合經(jīng)濟體制中的規(guī)劃體系。大衛(wèi)·哈維認為“規(guī)劃人云視乎注定要永遠遭受挫折”；麥克·迪爾和艾倫·斯科特則認為策劃功能是規(guī)劃的反應性和姑息性本質(zhì)并不僅僅是技術、分析或認為失誤的結果，而是一宗社會邏輯的必然產(chǎn)物。這種邏輯給一切政治行為的規(guī)范和有效性設置障礙。</p><p>　　平桂規(guī)劃體系的部分問題表現(xiàn)為：都市和區(qū)域規(guī)劃只涉及政府權限范圍要關心

25、的諸多問題之一。其他需要關心的問題包括增加商品生產(chǎn)、服務項目、國民收入以及在國際貿(mào)易中最大限度地增加相對優(yōu)勢，從而確保社會和經(jīng)濟的高度適應能力，保護個人選著自由和責任感。這些目標可能會相互沖突，但必須在和經(jīng)濟的高度適應能力，保護個人選擇自由和責任感。這些目標可能會相互沖突，但必須在其中途范圍內(nèi)尋求妥協(xié)。任何不面對這些沖突的評估只能反映部分問題，對體系改進工作不會有多大知道作用。而且，對一個規(guī)劃體系完全合理的評估只能反映部分問題，對體系改

26、進工作不會有多大指導作用。而且，對一個規(guī)劃體系完全合理的蘋果還應考慮到被規(guī)劃社區(qū)店行為、分析和信息的諸多局限性以及規(guī)劃人員和決策官員的局限性。</p><p>　　實際上，狹義分析法可能是唯一實際的選擇。與全面分析方法相比，他恩那個提供更加敏銳的觀察力。因此，受歡迎的可能是各類這種評估方法：單獨看他們可能都不完善，但由于源自各種學科領域，因此，可以各自的方式幫助人們對問題有更加深入的理解。比如：規(guī)劃者可以從有沖突
