Abstract:

PARTICIPATION HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON THE GENERATION, EVALUATION AND SELECTION OF ALTERNATIVES. THE PROCESS HAS BROADENED THE RANGE OF ALTERNATIVES AND HAS LED TO THE SUBSTITUTION OF THE REGULATION OF TRANSPORT DEMAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES TO MEET THAT DEMAND. THE PROCESS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE SUBSTITUTION OF ONE TYPE OF MODE FOR ANOTHER. THE NATURE OF TRANSPORTATION DEMAND, PARKING PRICING POLICY AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY FACILITIES ARE SOME QUESTIONS CONSIDERED. THE IMPACT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC ON COMMUNITIES, AND THE ADOPTION AS RECOMMENDED SOLUTION OF AN OPTION WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED IF NOT FOR THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS, IS DESCRIBED. IN THE AREA OF EVALUATION, PARTICIPATION INFLUENCED THE DEFINITION OF THE AREAS OF CONCERN AND THEIR MEASUREMENT. THE PROCESS ALSO MONITORED THE ACCURACY OF THE RESULTS OF EVALUATION AND THE CLARITY OF THE PRESENTATION. ALTHOUGH THE SELECTION OF ALTERNATIVES IS A POLITICAL PROCESS, THE PARTICIPATORY PROCESS EXPOSED THE RESULTS OF THE STUDIES AND INFLUENCED THE MAKING OF THE CHOICE. THE PROCESS WAS SEEN TO BROADEN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUES, OPTIONS AND THE RESULTS OF THE PLANNING PROCESS.
