Participatory Action Research
“Participation… provides a collaborative process by which community inhabitants reach common goals, engage in collective decisions, and create places, and these places, in turn, serve as material expressions of their collective efforts.”
Feldman, Roberta M. & Westphal, Lynne M. 2000. Sustaining human settlement: A challenge for the new millennium. Great Britain: Urban International Press.
Why participation? Why participation?
Counter decline in civic engagement.
Broaden accountability.
People need to know fully the process and how they fit in.
Public “input” meetings alone are unsatisfactory.
Diverse public suggests diverse modes of learning & interpretation.
The people need tools to be on an equal plane with holders of power.
Builds the democracy.
Help frame issues.
