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 2008-11-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies have taken steps to include the public in a wide range of environmental decisions. Although some form of public participation is often required by law, agencies usually have broad discretion about the extent of that involvement. Approaches vary widely, from holding public information-gathering meetings to forming advisory groups to actively including citizens in making and implementing decisions. Proponents of public participation argue that those who must live with the outcome of an environmental decision should have some influence on it. Critics maintain that public participation slows decision making and can lower its quality by including people unfamiliar with the science involved. This book concludes that, when done correctly, public participation improves the quality of federal agencies' decisions about the environment. Well-managed public involvement also increases the legitimacy of decisions in the eyes of those affected by them, which makes it more likely that the decisions will be implemented effectively. This book recommends that agencies recognize public participation as valuable to their objectives, not just as a formality required by the law. It details principles and approaches agencies can use to successfully involve the public.
