ABSTRACT

The Urban Master Plan is a statutory instrument that charts local spatial policy and exertsnotable influence on national and regional planning. As the drive for carbon neutrality elevates theimportance of spatial planning, these plans have gained renewed prominence. Building on the strongerstrategic linkage mandated by the 2023 revision of the Joint Directive on the Integrated Managementof National and Environmental Plans, this study analyzes the carbon-neutrality provisions of thecurrent Urban Master Plan Guidelines and develops a systematic indicator system for gauging theirimplementation. The proposed indicator system comprises seven evaluation domains and 53 detailedindicators. This indicator set provides local governments with a practical tool for diagnosing andrefining their carbon-neutral plans while offering a common benchmark for cross-plan comparisonand policy appraisal. Moreover, by aligning the framework with the climate-impact assessmentsystem, the study proposes its use as an ex-ante diagnostic tool to assess carbon-neutral elements inthe early stages of spatial plan formulation.
