Improving the effectiveness of administrative plans is a very important issue in the field of planning studies, but it is quite difficult to evaluate effectiveness. Therefore, this study takes a look at this issue by expressing the effectiveness of plans at the introduction level of planning tools, which is easier to evaluate than effectiveness itself.
The purpose of this study is to draw the common features of plans receiving high evaluation marks at the introduction level from all sectoral basic plans established from 2000 to 2015.
The analysis revealed that plans received much higher ‘introduction marks’ than ‘revision marks,’ and, in most cases, revision marks were linked to making progress schedules and so on. Furthermore, we gained three practical findings which will advance our understanding of planning studies.
