Dealing with Wicked problems
Finding solutions
A problem can be defined as subject of concern between what is desired and what an actual situation is there, which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, purpose. A solution of a problem is an act performed in order to reduce the effects of the current situation and which gives direction to accomplish the goal or objective.
Planning is a way to respond to the changes occurring in the environment around a person systematically. Planning is an approach towards the problem solving rationally. It can be taken as a remedial tool for creating change in the current situation in systematic and efficient way.
A problem in a planning profession will be
The solution found by planners to varied situations in practice very dependent on the certain criteria like social, economic, environmental, and political. The evaluation of a solution on these criteria defines the success of a solution.
The new definition of the planning problems was given by Rittle and Webber in their path breaking article (Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning) 1973 article they declared that the ways for solving problems by linear method for problem solving are over and this is the effect of the change in the modern society and increasing social complexities which makes them difficult to define the problems and also that the dependency is based on political reasoning. [1]
According to the complexities involved in the problem, and methodologies used for solving the problems, planning problems can be categorized into three categories, Tame problems, Wicked problems and Super wicked problems.
The Tame problems are the ones which have a well defined problem statement and the rational approa...

Throughout the analysis of selected topics and case studies, it is evident that in order to run a successful contemporary planning practice that achieves goals and targets, teamwork is essential. An extensive analysis of why teamwork is important in planning, features of an effective team, strategies of overcoming conflict and the stages of an effective team was conducted which demonstrates the relationship contemporary planning practices have with teamwork. The procedure behind successful contemporary planning practices is no longer unclear as it is evident that the driving force behind its success is indeed teamwork.
Urban Planning is the process of planning the development of land and other resources to improve a community in ways that benefit the lives of people within these communities. Urban Planning is a complex area of study because of the many different factors involved and the people it has an effect on. Planning can be controversial, political, and cause anger towards officials if it is not executed correctly. Urban planners must weigh their decisions and base them on the good of the environment and the people.

Many students view mathematics as a very difficult subject since it does not only focusses on numbers but also in letters. Mathematics does not only require the students to come up with an answer but it also requires them to show the solutions on how they arrived at the answer. While in elementary, students were already taught on how to solve problems in a step-by-step procedure starting with what is asked in the problem, what are the given, make a number sentence or formulate an equation and solve the problem. These procedures are called problem-solving which cannot only apply in mathematics but also in other areas such as in Science, businesses and most
The problem is the occurrence of a person or several people in an alley or a dilemma, there are many aspects of the problem, political and social and personal. In this paper, I will discuss the social problems and their definitions and stages. The definition of social problems changed over time because the problems that have occurred in the past may not be congruent with what is happening now because of the evolution of time and the difference of individuals living in society. Social problems are the general factors that affect and damage society.
