Vission
Based on the paradigm that planning knowledge is important for development and the need of dissemination of planning thought in every level of community which influences the direction of the development process, human resources, and completed knowledge for supporting the development of program and education, MURP UGM formulates its vision as:
MURP as the center of transdisciplinary knowledge development and as a leader of civilization in Asia-Pacific focusing on spatial engineering based on values of democracy, unity, empowerment, fairness, and equality to achieve sustainability and honour of humanity.
Spatial engineering (1) is an “ontology” or the base in the implementation of education. While transdisciplinary science-based are used for the education and learning method (2) and supported by the basic values of learning which consisting of democracy, solidarity, empowerment, fairness, balance (4). Furthermore, axiology or usefulness of science has been developed as a guide civilization (3) and create the sustainability and glory of humanity (5).
The 5 keywords will be translated into indicators of achievement:
- From its ontology, spatial engineering is the basic science of urban and regional planning. The use of the word engineering directs to the characteristics of MPKD science developing under the Faculty of Engineering with an emphasis on problem-solving (prescription). Engineering discipline encourages the synthesis of innovative thinking to resolve the problems through creative activities (create), not only to explain the problem. Spatial terminology is emphasized as science object material that representing the terminology of build environment or human settlement which should be organized by the community in MPKD as a way to contribute for improving the quality of human life (better space, better living);
- As the center of the development of trans-disciplinary science, MPKD is not only focused on teaching and run the master program, but also the development of science, to distinguish of similar courses at the undergraduate level. While the trans-disciplinary terminology means that despite the analysis and problem solving was reviewed in the overlap of various disciplines, the solution is developed on the spatial engineering approach;
- Guides civilization, means that the community of MPKD realizes its strategic position as a center of scientific development that should be pioneers of thought and action in the improvement of human life through spatial engineering. This terminology emphasizes the significance of scientific development and practice which done by Civitas in MPKD always be motivated in order to improve the quality of human life;
- Values: Democracy, unity, empowerment, fairness, equality, are the values that must always be the foundation of advancing the science and practice in MPKD community planning purposes. These values are taken from the local spirit of the archipelago and Yogyakarta as well as developed by UGM;
- Creating sustainability and honour of humanity is the highest of an orientation of scientific development and community planning practices in MPKD. Sustainability means is the preservation of natural resources, traditions, culture, and social character of the valuable archipelago. The glory of humanity may include characteristics to always survive and develop, build productive social interaction, based on high moral values, ethics and aesthetics.
