摘 要：有效的公众参与有助于计划、政策和项目的有效实施，因为提案是最受公众审查、建议和接受的。然而，在印度这样一个多元化的社会中，有各种各样的个人、社区和社会团体，对城市级发展当局来说，为公众参与创造有利的方法仍然很困难。本文旨在确定公众参与的现状，同时制定城市发展计划，重点关注三个印度城市。报告认为，目前公众参与的做法仅限于主要由专家小组组成的利益相关者咨询，在城市发展规划制定过程中，没有强有力的方法来捕捉普通公众的发言权。分析表明，在三个选定的案例研究中纳入公民和实施适当的参与方法仍然是一个问题，因为主要方法是邀请有影响力的利益相关者提出建议。该研究论文还从文献中引入了公众参与如何有助于发展进程的论点。本文还探讨了公众参与的一些方法，并考虑了在印度背景下实施的挑战。
Abstract:Efficient public participation results in the effective implementation of plans, policies, and programs since the proposals are best-reviewed, suggested and accepted by the public. However, in a heterogeneous society like India, where there are a wide array of individuals, communities, and social groups creating enabling methods for public participation is still difficult for city-level development authorities. The paper aims to ascertain the current state of public participation while formulating Urban Development Plans, focusing across three Indian cities. It argues that the current practices of involving the public are limited to stakeholder consultation primarily comprising of expert groups where no robust methods exist to capture the say of the common public during the formulation of the development plan for the city. The analysis reveals that the inclusion of citizens and the implementation of a suitable participatory method amongst the three selected case studies still pose a question since the primary approach is inviting the influential stakeholders for suggestions. The research paper also brings in arguments from literature for how public participation aids the development process. An exploration of few approaches for public participation is also discussed along with considering the challenges of implementation in the Indian context.
