Law on spatial planning.

This Law determines the objectives, principles and rules of spatial planning, participants operating in this field, types of spatial acts, their content and mutual relations, procedures for their preparation and adoption, their implementation and placement procedures, detailed planning and permitting of spatial arrangements of national importance. It also determines spatial measures and other acts of spatial planning, land policy instruments and measures, and regulates the monitoring of the state of spatial development, the operation of the spatial information system and the issuing of certificates in the field of spatial planning. Spatial planning according to this Law is a continuous process, which includes spatial planning, the process of placement, detailed planning and permitting of spatial arrangements of national importance, the implementation of land policy measures and the preparation and adoption of other acts of spatial planning, monitoring of the state of spatial development, implementation of interventions in space, sustainable spatial development, inspection control and provision of related information services. Sustainable spatial development is achieved in spatial planning processes by coordinating social, economic and environmental aspects of development with the spatial potential of areas. Spatial arrangements are planned in such a way that they are resistant to climate change, enable mitigating climate change and reducing its impacts.
The goals of spatial planning can be summarized as follows: ensuring the preparation, acceptance and implementation of spatial acts; protecting space as a limited natural resource; enabling quality living conditions and a healthy living environment; ensuring rational use of space and preserving spatial capacities for current and future generations; ensuring spatially coordinated and mutually complementary multi-functional deployment of various activities in the space; creating and preserving recognizable features and cultural identity in the space; enabling a polycentric system of settlement development; enabling the urban development of cities and wider urban areas, based on smart city management according to the principle of smart cities; creating, protecting and developing quality cities and other settlements; enabling appropriate and universal access to social and economic public infrastructure and public areas; creating and protecting the variety, visibility and quality of the landscape; enabling adaptation to climate change; enabling the transition to a low-carbon society based on a circular economy, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, efficient use of energy and use of renewable energy sources; making it possible to strengthen and protect people's health; enabling environmental protection, nature conservation, protection of cultural heritage, protection of agricultural land and other spatial qualities; creating conditions for reducing and preventing natural or other disasters; enabling the defense of the country.
