ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates how the Culturised System and its key Research Method for the culturisation of planning operate in generic terms. Culture is plentiful and, it is often unexpectedly so. Further, unlike many ecological and natural resources such as fragile ecological systems and old growth forests, culture is capable of renewal. The presence of culture as the leading literacy is indicative of its overall importance to the social life-world, history, the economy, ecology and the environment. It is perhaps the governing literacy, and is responsible for the active inclusion of all of the categories of coherent culture in planning. Cultural research into the three categories of culture is quantitative, statistical and descriptive in nature. It searches for and compiles the so-called facts in relation to the dimensions of culture, and can yield new and more comprehensive and representative cultural information for planning.
