Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public concern over the use of the nation's natural resources has led to increased citizen participation in the public works planning process. The report focuses on the development of water resources in relation to the role of the planner in communicating and interacting with the publics in planning. It describes the institutional and behavioral aspects of planning as a process of social change, offers a descriptive model of the planning process, and with this as a framework discusses methods and approaches for developing public participation in planning studies. Six public participation program objectives are set forth to guide the organization of citizen involvement in planning studies. A number of methods for working with the public are described, including information campaigns, sample surveys, group advocacy, informal contact with local interests, community workshops, citizens' committees, special task forces, public inquiries, and public hearings. The use of a factor profile is discussed as a method for presenting, discussing and evaluating the social, environmental and community effects, together with the economic effects of alternative planning proposals.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most federal agencies with resource planning and management responsibilities have received both executive and legislative directives to promote broad public involvement in their planning studies. This report is directed toward describing methods and techniques for planner-citizen communication which will enhance the level of public participation in the planning process and will permit citizens and planners to work effectively together in arriving at planning decisions which affect multiple local, state, and federal jurisdictions. The report describes the Corps of Engineers' planning process and defines the information generated during the planning activities. The planning process is related to various communication models and an approach to development of public participation programs is suggested. Various techniques and methods for communication with the public are presented. The report concludes with several examples of public participation programs and the relation of these programs to environmental impact assessment and water quality management.

Download or read book The Evolution of Water Resource Planning and Decision Making written by Clifford S. Russell and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This broad review of the development of US water resource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, the book concentrates on the past 60 years and features a discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into collaboration in the water resource context. The book explores the evolution of water related analytical capabilities and institutions and provides illustrations from case studies, concluding with recommendations for research, institutional change and action. Though designed to be a background textbook for interdisciplinary graduate seminars in water resources planning and management, it is accessible to interested lay readers and those who have policymaking or implementation responsibility but lack a technical background. The book will appeal to students and faculty in water policy, economics, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary programs organized around water resource problems and questions. Policy makers and general readers will also appreciate this non-technical introduction.

Download or read book Public Participation in Water Resources Planning An Evaluation of the Programs of 15 Corps of Engineers Districts Summary of Evaluation and Recommendations written by James F Ragan (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) has one of the Federal Government's most intensive and ambitious public participation programs--on paper. The Chief of Engineers has emphasized the critical importance of involving the public in the development of water resource plans, and the Corps has issued specific guidance on how to do so. For the most part, this public participation guidance has not been applied by Corps field offices to their planning activities. The public meeting remains the principal--and frequently the only-method that the field offices employ to inform and obtain comments from the public. More intensive public participation activities are usually reserved for crisis situations (i.e., when public opposition threatens recommended plans) and the new urban studies program (which includes specific requirements for a high level of public involvement throughout each study).

Book excerpt: In recent years, water resource management in the United States has begun a shift away from top-down, government agency-directed decision processes toward a collaborative approach of negotiation and problem solving. Rather than focusing on specific pollution sources or specific areas within a watershed, this new process considers the watershed as a whole, seeking solutions to an interrelated set of social, economic, and environmental problems. Decision making involves face-to-face negotiations among a variety of stakeholders, including federal, state, and local agencies, landowners, environmentalists, industries, and researchers. Swimming Upstream analyzes the collaborative approach by providing a historical overview of watershed management in the United States and a normative and empirical conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating the process. The bulk of the book looks at a variety of collaborative watershed planning projects across the country. It first examines the applications of relatively short-term collaborative strategies in Oklahoma and Texas, exploring issues of trust and legitimacy. It then analyzes factors affecting the success of relatively long-term collaborative partnerships in the National Estuary Program and in 76 watersheds in Washington and California. Bringing analytical rigor to a field that has been dominated by practitioners' descriptive accounts, Swimming Upstream makes a vital contribution to public policy, public administration, and environmental management.
