“…Thus, the goal should be to structure a decision such that the knowledge of the technical experts can inform the citizen participants, while the knowledge of the citizen participants can inform the technical professionals (STEELMAN, 2001). Thus, various sections of society can play complementary roles in forest management (BUCHY & HOVERMAN, 2000).…”

“…Public participation around the world has been part of a wide range of environmental applications including integrated watershed management (Sabatier et al, 2005;ISPWDK, 2005;Kenney et al, 2000), agricultural development (Wilson, 2004;Chambers, 1994), ecosystem management (Knight et al, 2006), environmental governance (Rist et al, 2007), forest management (Buttoud and Yunusova, 2002;Carter and Gronow, 2005) and planning (Buchy and Hoverman, 2000;Buchecker et al, 2003). This is also reflected in a range of international agreements including the Earth Summit, the European Landscape Convention, the Aarhus Convention and the European Water Framework Directive.…”

a b s t r a c tParticipation has emerged as an appropriate approach for enhancing natural resources management. However, despite long experimentation with participation, there are still possibilities for improvement in designing a process of stakeholder involvement by addressing stakeholder heterogeneity and the complexity of decision-making processes.This paper provides a state-of-the-art overview of methods. It proposes a comprehensive framework to implement stakeholder participation in environmental projects, from stakeholder identification to evaluation. For each process within this framework, techniques are reviewed and practical tools proposed. The aim of this paper is to establish methods to determine who should participate, when and how. The application of this framework to one river restoration case study in Switzerland will illustrate its strengths and weaknesses.

“…The quality of the interaction between forest managers and local people is an important factor affecting the success of participatory planning processes (Buchy and Hoverman, 2000;Thompson et al, 2005). Interactions include communicating potential management alternatives of the plan at hand.…”

This research tested whether demonstration of the long term effect of different forest management scenarios in a large forested area changes people's forest values and attitudes. Forestry professionals and other forest users in Central Labrador were shown simulation results of three alternative forest management scenarios illustrating possible long term effects on various indicators. Forest values and attitudes towards forestry were measured before and after the presentation. Our conception of values and attitudes is based on the cognitive hierarchy model of human behaviour which states that values are more enduring and more difficult to change than attitudes. It was thus hypothesized that attitudes would change but not values and that change in forestry professionals would be less than in other forest users since foresters are trained to think about long-term effects and large-scale processes of forest management scenarios. We also hypothesized that a greater number of people would have an opinion on forest management after the presentation. All three hypotheses were partially supported by the results. The results indicated that some attitude change occurred, but that values also changed somewhat. Most of the significant changes occurred when persons with no clear opinion on several forest-related questions formed an opinion. Long-term, landscape simulation results provide valuable information and enhance understanding of both forestry professionals and other forest users. However, being provided the same information, the two groups learned different things. While forest users gained more confidence in the current forest management plan and were motivated to further participate, professionals learned more specific things. This reflects differences between technical and local knowledge.
