The influence of informal social structures
was specifically stressed in discussions concerning
enforcement and adherence to planning rules. Local
interview participants admitted that a strong social
dynamic between individuals enforcing and adhering to
planning rules could prevent successful implementation
regardless of the degree of external enforcement. For
example, it was revealed that members of the periphery
and target are sometimes closely related. In these cases,
it is difficult to imagine the periphery being able to
enforce planning measures that seriously infringe on a
family business.
