After issuance of a complaint under the AICP Code of Ethics, a settlement can be negotiated solely between the:
Correct Answer: B
TheAICP Code of Ethics(2022), Section E, Procedure 5, states, "After a complaint is issued, the Ethics Officer may negotiate a settlement with the Respondent to resolve the matter." This makes option B (Ethics Officer and the Respondent) correct, as the Ethics Officer oversees the process. Option A (Charging Party and Respondent) is incorrect, as direct negotiation bypasses the formal process. Option C (Ethics Officer and Charging Party) is not specified in the Code. Option D (Charging Party and Ethics Committee) is incorrect, as the Committee adjudicates, not negotiates. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) confirms, "Settlements after a complaint are negotiated between the Ethics Officer and the Respondent to ensure fairness," supporting option B.

Correct Answer: D
Question 88
Which of the following is Peter Drucker associated?
Correct Answer: A
Question 89
Which public participation technique connects visioning with data analysis?
Correct Answer: D
Scenario testing is a public participation technique that combines visioning (imagining future possibilities) with data analysis (evaluating outcomes based on data-driven models). It involves creating alternative future scenarios, analyzing their impacts using data (e.g., demographic trends, economic forecasts), and engaging the public in choosing a preferred vision. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Communication and Interaction," describes scenario testing as "a method that integrates visioning with quantitative analysis to explore future outcomes." Options A (surveys) and C (sticky notes) collect input but do not inherently involve data analysis. Option B (nominal group) focuses on consensus-building, not data integration. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) states, "Scenario testing connects community visioning with data analysis by modeling future scenarios and assessing their impacts," supporting option D.

Question 90
In "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," Jane Jacobs put forth the theory that community vitality is the result of:
Correct Answer: D
In her 1961 bookThe Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs argued that community vitality stems from adequate density, which fosters diverse interactions, mixed uses, and active street life. Option D (adequate density) reflects her theory that dense, mixed-use urban environments create vibrant communities. The APA'sAICP Certification Exam Content Outline(2022), under "Fundamental Planning Knowledge," notes, "Jane Jacobs emphasized adequate density as a key factor in community vitality, enabling diverse social and economic interactions." Option A (zoning regulations) often hindered vitality in Jacobs' view by enforcing separation. Option B (purchasing power) is not her focus. Option C (comprehensive plans) was critiqued by Jacobs for promoting urban renewal that destroyed vitality. TheCPC Study Manual(2024) states, "Jacobs' theory inThe Death and Lifehighlights adequate density as essential for vibrant urban communities," supporting option D.
