The Irish Planning Institute (IPI) is the professional body representing the majority of professional planners engaged in physical and environmental planning in Ireland. Founded in 1975, the IPI now represents circa 700 qualified planners in Ireland. The Institute consists of a governing Council, and a number of Regional Branches and the Private Sector Branch who organise locally relevant events. The IPI works with both its members and other built environment professionals to promote and improve the quality of planning, to represent the views of the planning profession and to contribute to education and environmental awareness in the wider community. This is achieved through the hosting of conferences and CPD Events for its members; awarding, recognising and publishing best practice; making submissions on behalf of the planning profession on national policies, governance and other relevant publications and papers; and by representing the values of planning and planning professionals in the general media. == Activities == The Irish Planning Institute is an active member of the European Council of Spatial Planners and has held the Presidency of this organisation. Through this involvement, the Institute not only represents Irish planning interests abroad but also forges important links with sister institutions in Europe. As the main professional body for planners in Ireland, the IPI is one of the nominated bodies under the European Directive on Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications that regulates entry to the profession. The IPI inspects and accredits on invitation a number of planning courses in universities and other third level educational institutions across the island of Ireland. The Institute is also a nominating body to Seanad Éireann and to An Bord Pleanála. The Irish Planning Institute lobbies central Government on new legislation and on planning policy at national, regional and local levels. It also from time to time issues statements on current topics of public interest and debate. The IPI publishes "Pleanáil" which is the only technical publication on planning theory and professional planning practice published in Ireland. It also circulates a regular "e-Zine" / Newsletter to its members. Through its annual National Planning Conference, the Institute offers a major forum for the debate of planning and related topics. It also organises the National Planning Awards every two years and a series of CPD events throughout the year to promote best practice and to inform our membership regarding new approaches and policies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irish Planning Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
