About the Journal

Journal of Governance and Spatial Planning (JGSP) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the intersection between governance, policy studies, and spatial or urban planning. The journal aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, and practitioners to discuss, analyze, and disseminate ideas related to the dynamics of public administration, spatial policy, regional development, and sustainable urban management.

JGSP publishes articles that explore how governance frameworks influence spatial development, urban management, and regional planning. It also welcomes studies on how spatial approaches can strengthen local governance, public service delivery, and policy innovation.

The journal encourages both theoretical and empirical contributions, including conceptual papers, case studies, and comparative analyses that address issues of governance, public participation, spatial justice, sustainable cities, regional autonomy, and digital transformation in public administration.
