Web-Based and Traditional Public Participation in Comprehensive Planning: A Comparative Study

Abstract: The present paper examines whether the potential advantages of the expanding practice of web-based public participation only complement the benefits of the traditional techniques, or whether they are empowering enough to replace them. The question is examined in a real-world case of neighborhood revitalization, in which both techniques were practiced simultaneously. Comparisons are made at four major planning junctions, in order to study the contributions of each technique to the qualities of involvement, trus… Show more

“…Researchers agree that digital technologies have the potential to complement, extend and renew participatory processes in planning and urban design (Brabham, 2012;Bugs et al, 2010;Dodge & Kitchin, 2013;Gordon & Manosevitch, 2010;Proulx, 2009;Steiniger et al, 2012;Stern et al, 2009). It is particularly true of Web 2.0 tools and applications that allow participants to take part in the process at anytime and from anywhere, relatively free of pressures (Stern et al, 2009). Digital and social media also allows for a better representation of local stakeholders (Al-Kodmany, 2000), as well as for local knowledge to emerge from both experts and lay people (Foth, 2006).…”

This was due to immature technology and low user adoption rates.…”
