Abstract

The field of action of spatial planning as an interface between future-oriented solutions to complex existing problems is the arena of ethical and moral orientations and alignments. However, planners cannot make these ethical decisions alone. Orientation towards a common good in particular requires further differentiation in this sense. The three positions of normative ethics for evaluating an action also differ significantly when it comes to planning: Virtue ethics, which primarily values intention, deontology, which addresses the action itself, and utilitarianism, which deals with its consequences.
