Facing Bad ProblemsFinding SolutionsA problem can be defined as an area of concern between what is desired and the actual situation that exists, making it difficult to achieve 'an objective or desired objective. A solution to a problem is an act done to reduce the effects of the current situation and that provides direction to achieve the goal or objective. Planning is a way of systematically responding to changes that occur in the environment around a person. Planning is an approach to rationally solving a problem. It can be considered as a corrective tool to create a change in the current situation in a systematic and effective manner. A problem in a planning profession will be the solution found by planners to varied situations in practice, very dependent on certain criteria such as social, economic, environmental. , and politics. Evaluating a solution based on these criteria defines the success of a solution. The new definition of planning problems was given by Rittle and Webber in their groundbreaking paper (Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning). Article from 1973, they stated that the means of solving problems by a linear method of problem solving is over and it is the effect of change in modern society and increasing social complexities that make it difficult to define problems and also that dependence is based on political reasoning. [1] Depending on the complexities involved in the problem and the methodologies used to solve the problems, planning problems can be classified into three categories: tame problems, wicked problems, and super wicked problems. Tame problems are those that have a well-defined definition. problem statement and rational approach...... middle of article ......head (1996), from the London School of Economics4.
