Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The proposition that lies behind this book (a synthesis of lessons learned over the past seven years) is that the decisions about how a particular geographic area develops should be made in a way that actively involves the community in question. A fundamental process that affects how areas develop is how decisions about land-use and environmental management are made. The type of planning mechanism used when such decisions are made may have a profound impact on the way that area actually develops. Rather than seeing planning as a mechanistic exercise, or a process that is owned by experts, the broad-based ownership of the planning process is recognised and what are called collaborative planning principles are applied. This book explores the application of these collaborative planning principles within an Irish context.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-210) and index.
