What is it about?

Public participation in planning is often difficult to implement in centralized planning systems. In this paper, we examine several participatory processes that were implemented within the Israeli planning context and present indicators for evaluating their level of success.

Why is it important?

Our findings suggest that there is a correlation between the initiating body, its commitment to participation and the level of success of the participatory process.

Perspectives

Participatory processes are highly complex, involving many factors which may hinder their success, especially in highly centralized planning environments. In this paper, we try to shed light on the various factors which may contribute to a better evaluation of these processes, with some insights from processes implemented within the Israeli planning context.
