Buanes Et Al 2005 🇳🇴👬👭 Flashcards
What does this paper explore?
This paper explores the practice of stakeholder participation in coastal zone (CZ) planning in Norway
On the basis of survey data drawn from a national sample of coastal municipalities
discuss
- how stakeholder groups take part in CZ planning and how variations in participatory forms are linked to their differential powers.
- extent formal consultation is sufficient to explain stakeholders’ relative standing in CZ planning, or if informal interaction is correlated with influence.
- question of whether participation is cumulative or not, in the sense that if stakeholders are involved in one way, they are also likely to be involved in another way.
What are the conclusions ? What must happen to achieve CZ integration?
in order for CZ planning to be integrated, it may be necessary, under given budget restrictions, to renounce democratic ideals that are essential in providing legitimacy. However, the loss of legitimacy may in itself inhibit a process that is effective and just. Thus, an integrated planning approach for the CZ must also be a balanced one, and the very best solution may sometimes have to yield to the second best.
Why does Buanes et al (2005) say they CZ planning is?
Thus, the scenario of CZ planning is somewhat contradictory, as far as participation, transparency and legitimacy are concerned.
Small municipalities provide better conditions for the direct participation of user-groups and stakeholders in the planning and decision-making processes.
The larger the municipality, the more participation has to take place indirectly through systems of representation [20].
On the other hand, the smaller the municipality, the less likely it is to have the resources necessary to facilitate a process where conflicting interests are dealt with in a fashion that is orderly, rational and fair.
