American and Israeli Planners: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
Comparative studies of planners from different countries are rare. This article reports the results of a questionnaire administered recently to representative samples of American and Israeli government planners concerning their attitudes about selected planning issues. The study finds that Israeli planners are much more favorably disposed toward expressing their own personal values in their work; more favorable toward the environment, mass transit, and low-income people; less favorable toward private developers; and more hybrid in their role orientations than American planners are. In addition, Israeli planners have a broader conception than American planners have of what constitute ethical issues in planning; Americans are inclined to think more situationally about professional ethical issues than Israelis are. The article explores reasons for the differences between the two groups and the implications of the findings for planning.
