Public Participation and Better Environmental Decisions is about a specific ‘promise’ that participation holds for environmental decision-making. Many of the arguments for public participation in (inter)national environmental policy documents are functional, that is to say they see public participation as a means to an end. Sound solutions to environmental problems require participation beyond experts and political elites. Neglecting information from the public leads to legitimacy questions and potential conflicts. There is a discourse in the literature and in policy practice as to whether decision-making improves in quality as additional relevant information by the public is considered. The promise that public participation holds has to be weighed against the limitations of public participation in terms of costs and interest conflicts. The question that Public Participation and Better Environmental Decisions seeks to answer for academics, planners and civil servants in all environmental relevant policy fields is: What restricts and what enables information to hold the ‘promise’ that public participation lead to better environmental decision-making and better outcomes?

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.

This thesis attempts to examine the variety of public participation techniques used in the creation of neighborhood plans and suggests a multi-criteria analysis to compare techniques against a set of criteria. To pair down the participation techniques studied in this thesis, the researcher used well-known techniques currently in use by planning practitioners. These include: the public hearing, the community workshop, the charrette, the focus group, the citizen panel / community advisory board, ballots or referenda, and crowdsourcing. A multi-criteria analysis is proposed as a means of examining the relative performance of each participation technique against a set of external criteria. Based on the extensive research on public participation and theory, five goals have been identified in conducting a public participation process and include a combination of process-based and outcome-based goals to reflect the nature of public participation itself as both a process and an outcome. Goals are understood as general ends or expected results for a project or process. For the purposes of this thesis, public participation goals identified by Laurian and Shaw (2008) will be used and include mutual learning, democratic process, issue-related, governance, and social outcomes. From these goals, 13 criteria are suggested to evaluate each public participation techniques' effectiveness. Criteria, are understood as measureable aspects of judgment by which a dimension of the various choice possibilities under consideration can be characterized (Voogd 1983). The researcher has suggested criteria based on previous research and theory in an attempt to achieve the predefined goals. The evaluator estimates effectiveness scores for each participation technique based on informed judgment; these scores are based on a ten point (0-10) scale and indicate how well each participation technique fulfills each criterion. Additionally, a criterion weighting mechanism is suggested to account for various interested parties' influence and preference. By weighting criteria, individual parties' values are considered and determine the importance of each criterion. Once weighting is achieved, the weights are multiplied against the effectiveness scores to achieve weighted effectiveness scores. These weighted effectiveness scores are totaled for each participation technique and the result indicates the overall effectiveness of each technique relative to the others. An illustrative model is presented to demonstrate how this type of evaluation can be used in a real world setting and considers a neighborhood planning scenario. This illustration identifies the steps used in a multi-criteria evaluation as applied to public participation techniques and suggests further research opportunities and limitations of this type of evaluation.

Abstract: Urban green space (UGS) planning is an essential part in achieving sustainability and liveability, which have been receiving more attention in the increasingly dense and land-lacking compact city of Hong Kong. The importance of public participation in quality UGS planning has been supported by various studies. This study aims at investigating the current situation and limitation of public participation in UGS planning in Hong Kong, taking Green Belt (GB) rezoning as an example. Foreseeing awareness, knowledge and public view quantification as possible issues, the research also extends to evaluate on the potential of environmental valuation techniques, particularly approaches using behavioral linkages, in improving the involvement of members of public in UGS planning. In particular, the application of contingent valuation method, a common stated preference approach, was demonstrated. Two main research questions were proposed. The first one concerned how well the public was involved in UGS planning. Further sub-questions included what the existing official and unofficial channels for participation were, and to what extent the public was utilizing these channels of participation. The second research question was whether environmental valuation techniques offered a possibility in enhancing public participation. Attention was paid to whether the public was prepared for such techniques. Considering the wide range of UGS in Hong Kong, GB was chosen as the object for study. The reason was that the land use is generally designated with a function of passive recreation, and to some extent in compensation for the shortage of UGS. Secondly, it is often located among urban structures and is relatively more accessible when compared to other green spaces. Third, its involvement of the public could more easily be assessed as a well-defined planning process has to be gone through in its planning. Relevant documents and data are more available. Another important reason for selecting GB regarded the recent controversy on its rezoning for residential development in addressing housing supply issues. This touched upon the contradiction between UGS conservation and development, and coincides with the issue concerned - how to truly take into consideration various public views? Various methods were used to address the research questions. Part one of the study was done in answer to the first key question regarding how well public involvement was. An institutional framework review was first done to set forth the existing channels for participation, particularly the opportunities of participation, available data and publicity, timeline and decision-making process and power involved. Subsequently the S.12A applications involving GB rezoning in the past decade and the case of Amendment of Tai Po Outline Zoning Plan involving a number of GB zones to be rezoned as residential land use were studied. Simple statistical analyses, review of processes, interviews of stakeholders and online questionnaire survey were done. Focus was given to the pattern of participation, who the participating public were, the factors affecting their participation and their knowledge and ability for participation. Part two of the study concerned whether the public was prepared for environmental valuation techniques in assessing their views on UGS planning, th
