The Future Study: Navigating the Challenges of Governance in the Horizon of 2045

Spatial Planning has been characterized as a means of reclaiming land and asserting sovereignty, essentially establishing it as a category of governance and policy-making. As such, it represents a continuous evolution of governance approaches. The Spatial Planning document draws upon inputs from the political realm and public policies, culminating in a national document that serves as a public policy notification.

Given that governance is the primary institution established by a society to overcome existing challenges and achieve desired outcomes, the government's utilization of the national spatial planning document fulfills a distinctly governance-oriented function. This functional affinity necessitates careful consideration of governance processes when selecting tools, including the national spatial planning document, for long-term use.
