1_What is Participation? Sample Clauses

1_What is Participation?. Participation can be defined as a process where individuals, groups and organisations choose to take an active role in making decisions that affect them (Xxxx et al, 2009). Since the Conference on Environment and Development of 1992, public participation has been recognised as a necessary element of all environmental procedures like environmental assessment, local Agenda 21, and ICZM. The most famous categorization of participation is the so called “Ladder of participation” (Xxxxxxxx, 1969). Table 1 below shows Xxxxxxxx’x ladder of citizen participation proposing eight levels, starting from “Manipulation” and ending with “Citizen control”. It shows the different ways in which the organisation responsible for activity (e.g. an authority) can involve participants, in this case citizens. This was the first contribution advancing the idea of establishing a structured framework of engaging a community and using consultation within a participatory framework of decision making.
