미국의 스마트성장을 위한 개발사업평가에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the project specific scorecard for smart growth in the U.S. and find the implications for the development permit system in our country. The project specific scorecard is a tool that can help evaluate whether a particular development project is advancing the long-term viability of a community in the United States. So it could be also used to help a developer decide where the best location for a particular land use is, or to determine what land use is most appropriate over the long term for a particular land. In this context, the study analyzed the criteria of project specific scorecard and their application methods in three local governments in the U.S.; Austin, Maryland and New Jersey. Some policy implications are drawn through a case analysis. First, the evaluation factors for the use of project specific scorecard should be included; pre-screening, development location and contexts of plan. Second, project specific scorecard should be applied for the residential development project over 300,000m2 in non-urban area as political priority.
