Abstract:
Participation and administration have long had an uneasy coexistence. On one hand, public participation in decisions that affect citizens is consistent with citizenship and democracy; on the other hand, much of what government does is complex and requires some level of technical understanding to make decisions. In this article, we report on public administrators’ perceptions of public participation and the ways that they understand the participation process. We find that public participation is managed by public administrators; they determine the extent of participation, shape the ways that the participation takes place, and decide whether or not participation is valuable for their work. In some cases, the process is rather democratic, whereas in others, it is not. We find that it is up to administrators to shape the spaces for participation and select the participants in a manner consistent with their understanding of the task to be accomplished. We explore this process in the context of Environmental Impact Analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act.

Abstract:
Customer participation is one of the critical research issues in service management. This study draws on the client participation concept to explore the content and levels of customer participation in public services (Lithuanian elderships). By integrating Unified Service theory, Service Dominant logic, and using a research design with 12 interviews and 600 participating customer survey, the study confirms the three level customer participation model, identifies four categories of participating customers and shows how sociodemographic characteristics affect customer participation level. Data suggest that public service providers need to pay attention to customer participation management (identification, selection, education and motivation).

Abstract:
Public participation is an effective way in promoting the administration of urban planning. Currently, some existing problems of public participation in urban planning can be seen including weak awareness of participation, passive and monotonous ways of participation, limited participating content, and so on. This article aims at boosting the process of public participation in urban planning by putting forward a three-step strategy in the method of raising, analyzing and solving problems.

Thesis (MA (Public and Development Management))-- University of Stellenbosch, 1995.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study assesses public participation in public policy making by way of a case study approach. The Regional Education Boards and the Regional Services Council form part of the case study evaluation of public participation in public policy making. In essence, a structural-functionalist analysis of the two cases is given. From this approach this study points out what the activities of the two institutions are, what services they render and the policy measures with which they are engaged in. This is imperative because by way of an analysis, the extent to which the public is allowed to participate in the policy making process, with reference to the two institutions, is determined. Before the assessment of the two cases a conceptual framework pertaining to public participation in public policy making is given. In this conceptual framework the different typologies, policy levels, participants and the modes of public participation in public policy making are highlighted. In earlier years public participation in public policy making was simply seen as being confined to voting turn-out. As the study of public policy making expanded the operational definition of public participation was broaden to include activities such as campaigning, handing petitions to members of parliament, attending political meetings, writing letters to communication media, written representations submitted to a minister and protest action. Thus, as the study of public policy making expanded it became clear that separate participation modes exist because the activities which emanates from the implementation of public policy differ systematically in the requirements it place on the citizens. What is significant of this thesis is that it proposed a nine-point criteriological model for effective participation in public policy making. Each criterium is analyzed in depth and it is indicated how important it is for effective public participation in public policy making.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie bepaal publieke deelname in openbare beleidmaking by wyse van 'n setwerklike benadering. Die Onderwysstreekrade en die Streekdiensterade vorm deel van hierdie evaluering van publieke deelname in openbare beleidmaking. Vir hierdie benadering word 'n strukturieel - funksionele uiteensetting van die werkswyse en beleidsmaatreëls van die twee instansies gegee. Hierdie uiteensetting is belangrik omrede, deur middel van 'n analise, daar bepaal word tot watter mate die publiek deel uitmaak van die beleidmakingsproses ten opsigte van die twee instansies. Voor die uiteensetting van die setwerklike benadering word 'n raamwerk met betrekking tot die konsepte wat van toepassing is op publieke deelname in openbare beleidmaking, gegee. In hierdie raamwerk word die verskillende tipologieë, beleidsvlakke, deelnemers en die verskillende maniere van publieke deelname in die openbare beleidmakingsproses, uitgebeeld. In vroeër jare was publieke deelname in openbare beleid gesien as bloot deelname aan verkiesings. Namate die studie van openbare beleid uitgebrei het, het die operasionele definisie van publieke deelname groter geword om aktiwiteite soos petisies aan parlementslede, bywoning van politieke vergaderings, briewe aan kommunikasiemedia, geskrewe voorleggings aan ministers en protesaksies in te sluit. Dit het derhalwe duidelik geword dat daar verskillende maniere is betreffende publieke deelname omrede die aktiwiteite wat vloei uit die implementering van openbare beleid in verskillende gemeenskappe, verskillend is. Wat die studie merkwaardig maak is dat dit 'n nege-punt kriteriologiese model vir effektiewe publieke deelname in die openbare beleidmakingsproses voorstel. Elke kriteria word in diepte geanaliseer en dit word uitgewys hoe belangrik dit vir effektiewe publieke deelname in die openbare beleidmakingsproses is.

Abstract:
With disasters increasing in frequency and costs each year, this study seeks to explore ways greater public participation can assist emergency managers in their mission to keep communities safe. Specifically this study examines the policy process and administrative functions of emergency management to illuminated the benefits and hindrances involved in greater participation. This study conducted a qualitative analysis of governmental documents, disaster case studies, international research, as well as political science and administrative doctrines, to arrive at its conclusions. The results of this study reveal that the public is a largely untapped resource in the emergency management field. Engaging the public dialogically in early policy stages and emergency management phases is essential to successful inclusion for both administrators and communities. Specifically, public inclusion creates expanded knowledge, shared learning, personal responsibility, and increased social capital. Faced with the growing threat from disasters, emergency management can create communities that are both more resilient and sustainable by increasing public participation.

Abstract:
La presente tesis doctoral está motivada por el interés que los Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología han mostrado por la participación pública y su papel en la 'democratización de la democracia' a través de la 'democratización de la ciencia y la tecnología'. El estudio forma parte del Proyecto 'Ciencia, Tecnología y Ciudadanía en las Sociedades del Conocimiento', cuyo objetivo es comprender la mutua transformación entre controversias tecno-científicas y controversias públicas. Concretamente, los objetivos de la tesis doctoral son: (1) Incrementar el conocimiento sobre la comprensión pública de las controversias tecno-científicas, (2) Conocer las estrategias que los ciudadanos despliegan para participar en debates públicos junto con expertos, (3) Incrementar la comprensión de los actores implicados en el control de la información públicamente disponible sobre las disputas. La pregunta de investigación es la siguiente: De qué manera las personas corrientes y los analistas sociales identifican y aceptan a determinados actores como miembros del público en la participación pública? Con esta pregunta en mente, se propone un acercamiento a la comprensión y producción de la participación pública que se inspira en la Sociología de la Capacidad Crítica, la Propuesta Cosmopolítica y la perspectiva performativa de Bruno Latour. A partir de este marco teórico se describe un método a través del cual las personas constituyen el público de un determinado asunto. Este método se denomina 'Regímenes de Participación Legítima' (RPL), una forma de conocimiento práctico que incluye un conjunto de principios dicotómicos de evaluación de participantes. La idea de RPL no es una categoría deductiva, sino una categoría que se desarrolla ex post facto, para nombrar un fenómeno presente en tres artículos ya publicados. La tesis doctoral se divide en cuatro capítulos. El capítulo 1 expone los objetivos, la pregunta de investigación y el marco teórico del estudio. El capítulo 2 incluye dos artículos centrados en la participación pública en controversias tecno-científicas. En el primer artículo (Sección 2.1.) se analizan datos provenientes de once grupos de discusión realizados en Cataluña en 2006. Mediante un análisis del contenido se explora lo que la gente quiere decir por 'ciudadanía' cuando hablan de 'participación ciudadana'. El segundo artículo (Sección 2.2.) se basa en el análisis de seis de los once grupos antes mencionados. En él se introduce una aproximación pragmática a los datos con la que se muestra que, en una situación comunicativa dada, los participantes del estudio usan categorías espaciales para identificar grupos relevantes. El capítulo 3 incluye un artículo enfocado en la forma como diferentes organizaciones usan la Web para participar en debates sobre el agua en España y definir los temas a tratar. El capítulo 4 discute los resultados más importantes de las secciones 2.1., 2.2. y 3.1. En este último capítulo se delinea la estructura de los RPL, se responde abiertamente a la pregunta de investigación y se resaltan las implicaciones de los RPL para la 'democratización de la ciencia y la tecnología'. Adicionalmente, se sugieren futuras vías de investigación.
The given PhD dissertation is motivated by the interest that Science and Technology Studies have shown in public participation and its role in the 'democratisation of democracy' through the 'democratisation of science and technology'. It was developed in connection with the R+D+i Project 'Science, Technology and Citizenship in Knowledge Societies', which main goal was to sheet light to the transformation of public controversies into techno-scientific controversies, and vice versa. More specifically, the objectives of this dissertation are: (1) Increasing knowledge about the public understanding of the techno-scientific controversies, (2) Getting to know the strategies that citizens deploy to participate in the public disputes together with scientists and technologists, and (3) Increasing understanding of the players involved in the control of publicly available information on the disputes. The research question is the following: How do ordinary people and social analysts identify and accept players with the right to take the part of the public in public participation? With this research question in mind, the author propose an approach to the understanding and shaping of public participation which is mainly inspired by the Sociology of Critical Capacity, the Cosmopolitical Proposal and performative approach of Bruno Latour. Drawing on this theoretical framework a particular method that ordinary people and social analysts use in the constitution of the public of an issue is described. Such a method is called 'Regime of Legitimate Participation' (RLP), a form of practical knowledge which includes a set of dichotomous principles of participant's evaluation. The RLP is not a deductive category applied to the data. Instead, it is an emergent category developed ex post facto, as a notion with which a phenomenon grasped by three published papers – although initially not addressed enough in them – can be named. This dissertation is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 exposes the objectives, research question and theoretical framework of the PhD dissertation. Chapter 2 includes two papers concerned with the public understanding of citizen participation in techno-scientific controversies. In the first paper (Section 2.1.) the data come from a set of eleven focus groups carried out in Catalonian during 2006. A qualitative content analysis aims to explore what 'citizenship' means when people speak about 'citizen participation'. The second paper (Section 2.2.) is based on the analysis of six of the eleven focus groups mentioned above. It introduces a pragmatic approach to the data showing that, in a given communicative context, participants in our study use space labels in order to identify those groups whose activities are regarded as relevant by the speakers when they are talking about 'water problems'. Chapter 3 introduces a paper focused on the way different organisations exploit the Web with the aim to participate in the debates about water policy in Spain and to define the topics involved. Chapter 4 discusses the most important outcomes of the Sections 2.1., 2.2. and 3.1. In this final Chapter, the structure and operation of the RLP are outlined. The answer to the research question is then openly stated, and implications of the RLP for the 'democratisation' of science and technology come to the fore. Future lines of enquiry are suggested.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the public participation activities of State Departments of Transportation (SDOTs) in the United States. A review of existing literature and legal frameworks suggests that an "authentic" public participation results when dimensions of representativeness, use of public inputs, interactiveness, and quality of citizen inputs have been achieved. The study sought to identify conditions that serve as measurements that must presumably be satisfied for authenticity to exist in public participation. The result was a Model of Authentic Public Participation that served as the basis for creation of a new four-tiered methodology to assess the performance of these districts relative to authenticity requirements. This study also sought to identify the key determinants that lead districts to achieve Authentic Public Participation in District public involvement programs. A Predictor Model for Authentic Public Participation was created to test whether the key internal and external determinants are responsible for districts achieving authenticity in their public participation programs. The data for this study came from a mail-back survey that was administered to senior district administrators in 380 State Departments of Transportation districts in the United States. A total of 233 surveys were returned for a response rate of 61.3 percent. The results of the study suggest that most SDOT districts struggle to implement public participation programs that achieve high levels of authenticity. The increased use of public participation tools, specifically those active tools that allow for increased interaction between district staff and the public, can assist districts in achieving higher levels of authenticity in their programs. Of key importance to achievement of authenticity is the willingness of district staff to adopt new ideas and innovation learned from dealings with the public. District public participation programs benefit from training that increases the individual's acceptance of public participation as a valid mechanism for serving the public. Recommendations were made for SDOTs to work toward: • The creation of increased opportunities for the occurrence of Authentic Public Participation • The creation of individual ownership of authenticity in public participation • The creation of community partnerships to foster authenticity in public participation

Abstract:
L’étude de la participation du public à l’élaboration des normes environnementales contribue à l’analyse de la mutation contemporaine de l’action publique. Elle démontre plus précisément que la participation, consacrée sous la forme d’un principe juridique à destination des États et sous la forme d’un droit subjectif à destination des administrés, est appréhendée différemment, mais de manière complémentaire, par les droits international, européens et national. Tenant aussi bien au désir des pouvoirs publics de restaurer leur légitimité qu’à leur volonté d’améliorer le contenu des décisions environnementales, par nature très complexe, la participation vise le perfectionnement des modalités de détermination de l’intérêt général mais n’en change pas la nature intrinsèque. Elle redessine ainsi le fonctionnement du régime représentatif en donnant plus d’importance aux citoyens et aux groupes d’intérêts, sans pour autant faire émerger une réelle post-modernité juridique dans laquelle l’État se contenterait de n’être qu’un simple agent de régulation. Elle est en outre à l’origine d’un renouvellement des modalités de participation politique, les pouvoirs publics créant peu à peu une véritable « trame participative », qui permet au public d’influencer – encore marginalement – le contenu des décisions ayant une incidence sur l’environnement
The study of Public Participation in Environmental Decision-making demonstrates that participation contributes to Modern state's mutation. International, europeans and french laws offer from now on various perspectives for the public to influence the construction of environmental decisions. If it does not change the nature of the french notion of general interest, it surely modifies the way to elaborate such interest. The study emphasizes more precisely the role of individuals and groups of interest in this new procedural democracy. It underlines furthermore the conditions in which public participation can really satisfy its two main objectives, the legitimization of public action and the improvement of the content of environmental decisions

Abstract:
This thesis explores how an adherence to professional principles can be reconciled with a commitment to inclusive participatory planning processes in urban governance. Two themes are drawn together. First, the study concerns recent shifts in thinking about public participation that have resulted in innovative approaches to engaging citizens in urban governance processes through deliberative, interactive workshops and forums. Second, the study focuses on power relations that are inherent in such forums, particularly when a variety of different knowledges (expert and lay) interact. The two themes are brought together by focusing on the participatory practices of the urbanist movement - an urban form movement that draws specific principles from the urbanism of traditional towns and cities in order to create socially and environmentally sustainable places. Within urbanist participation, professional principles for the built environment and a commitment to a form of deliberative democracy are combined. In this study, the crucial question asked is: what is the nature and effect of the power relations on the democratic character of public involvement in participatory planning processes? To explore this issue, two urbanist Enquiry by Design processes were selected as retrospective case studies. One case involved a regeneration project for an inner urban area of a north England industrial town, while the other case involved a greenfield urban extension in the south west of England. The empirical research, undertaken in mid 2005, comprised 52 semi-structured interviews, analysis of extensive background material, and site visits. Research participants were selected to capture a range of perspectives and experiences of each process. To understand the power relations in the cases a two pronged approach was taken. The study was informed by literature from communicative planning theory and deliberative democracy. From this literature, an Ethic for Communicative Participation was developed as a heuristic device to evaluate urbanist participation. Concomitantly, to understand the nature of the power relations involved in the deliberative forum, the study employed a discourse theory perspective after Laclau and Mouffe (2001). Thus, power was understood as relational and imbricated within all social relations, while conflict was conceived of as an indicator of power. The study found that the urbanist discourse, as a hegemonic project, had a significant effect on the nature of the participatory processes. In disseminating and instituting a particular vision for urban sustainability, the urbanist participatory process was found to be instrumental to realising the urbanist vision in each locality. As such, the cases studied displayed a thin commitment to democracy. Moreover, the discursive constructions of concepts of community, representation, consensus and participation evident in the cases, exposed a unified and homogeneous understanding of social groups. Consequently, the complexity of power relations and conflict inherent in the processes were bracketed, resulting in the exclusion of certain perspectives. Nevertheless, the study illustrated the value in understanding the inherently antagonistic nature of the public sphere for both research and practice. The study supported emerging claims for a democratic politics in which antagonism is transformed into agonism - a space of reciprocity and mutual respect in which contestations over meanings can be articulated. In the cases, the participatory space allowed participants to challenge the hegemonic nature of the dominant discourses. Therefore, the thesis argues for two important ways to rethink power in both theory and in practice. First, there must be a willingness to engage with conflict and power. Second, there must be an interrogation of claims to unity or collectivity. Understanding the public sphere as inherently antagonistic, heterogeneous, and criss-crossed with complex power relations potentially provides conditions in which hegemonic forces can be contested. An agonistic politics has the potential to facilitate the open contestation of different knowledges and transform the dominant power relations such that an enhanced democracy can ensue.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-109).
Since 1970, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has served as the main instrument for analyzing the environmental impacts of federal agency decisions and providing the public with opportunities to participate in the decision making process. For over 35 years, NEPA has defined the process by which agencies assess environmental impacts and disclose those assessments to the public. During this period however, NEPA has come under increasing scrutiny due to the considerable conflict surrounding environmental policies, eroding credibility of science-based policy information, and lack of meaningful public participation opportunities in practice. Experience has shown that collaborative decision making reduces conflict among participants, increases the credibility of science-based information underlying environmental decisions and improves the overall legitimacy of the participation process. The federal government has embraced web-based technology as a means of improving upon the traditional NEPA public participation process. Electronic participation has generated considerable interest among policymakers and scholars due to its potential to facilitate more efficient and more deliberative interaction between citizens and government.
(cont.) This paper analyzes a pilot program by the Bureau of Land Management to integrate electronic participation into its decision making process. I evaluate four cases involved in the ePlanning pilot to understand the extent to which recent electronic participation efforts build upon established best practices in traditional, or offline participation. While there are some encouraging signs, most cases indicate that technology is applied mostly as a means of digitizing existing steps in the decision making process, rather than as a tool for enhancing the communicative and deliberative aspects of participation. The democratic potential of web-based technology lies not in the automation of existing practice, but in the support of established best practices.

Abstract:
Public participation systems in environmental impact assessment started late in our country. Relevant laws, regulations, and work protocols need to be further improved. In this study, extensive research was conducted on the public participation systems in the environmental impact assessment of foreign nuclear power plants. Analyze the current status of our public participation systems were drawn from legal aspect and the aspect of implementation. Together with case analysis, main problems of public participation systems in environmental impact assessment of China’s nuclear power plant were summarized from this study: (1) delayed information disclosure; (2) the scope of public participation need to be widened; (3) interactive platforms are required for convenient and efficient public participations instead of a single participation approach; (4) timely response to the platforms and more supervision over the participation systems are desired. Solutions to each problem are proposed to help develop relative regulations and the implementation of these regulations.

Abstract:
Aim. The aim of this paper is to present public health importance of hypertension in population as one of the major CVD risk factor as well as a model of integrated approach to hypertension control at community level. Background. In spite of wide knowledge of pathophysiology and epidemiology in development of hypertension, ability to easily diagnose it, availability of efficient medications, hypertension continues to have high prevalence and setting up hypertension controls poses significant public health challenge. High prevalence of hypertension exists in all countries of the world, regardless of socioeconomic status of the country. It is estimated that the number of people with hypertension by 2025 will rise by 15-20%, and the number of sick people will increase up to 1.5 billion people worldwide. Methods. A review of the relevant literature which discusses the importance of defining clear strategies and interventions in the control of hypertension in countries, with particular emphasis on integrated hypertension management that has the greatest impact. Discussion. Effective and efficient hypertension control requires two approaches: population approach and individual approach to high-risk individuals. The balanced combination of population approach and an approach to access high-risk individuals is vital for the effective control of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions. Health systems in every country must be flexible and ready to provide adequate model of integrated approach to hypertension control at community level understanding their own local needs.
