This book was released on 2008-11-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies have taken steps to include the public in a wide range of environmental decisions. Although some form of public participation is often required by law, agencies usually have broad discretion about the extent of that involvement. Approaches vary widely, from holding public information-gathering meetings to forming advisory groups to actively including citizens in making and implementing decisions. Proponents of public participation argue that those who must live with the outcome of an environmental decision should have some influence on it. Critics maintain that public participation slows decision making and can lower its quality by including people unfamiliar with the science involved. This book concludes that, when done correctly, public participation improves the quality of federal agencies' decisions about the environment. Well-managed public involvement also increases the legitimacy of decisions in the eyes of those affected by them, which makes it more likely that the decisions will be implemented effectively. This book recommends that agencies recognize public participation as valuable to their objectives, not just as a formality required by the law. It details principles and approaches agencies can use to successfully involve the public.

Marohn Jr. delivers an accessible and engaging exploration of America’s transportation system, laying bare the reasons why it no longer works as it once did, and how to modernize transportation to better serve local communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, citizens are demanding and are being given a voice in the decision-making process of such diverse public interests as community development, crime prevention, mass transportation, environmental planning, and hazardous waste disposal. This growing trAnd of citizen activism combined with new legislative requirements and changing professional values has legitimized the role of the citizen in myriad areas of public management. How can managers meet the challenge of increasing citizen involvement in public management? John Clayton Thomas has written a straightforward and practical guide for public managers in which he outlines a strategic approach to public involvement in government decision making. Public Participation in Public Decisions prepares public managers for the difficult task of involving citizens more fully in the affairs of government while maintaining effectiveness and efficiency. In easy-to-understand terms, he presents the "Effective Decision Model of Public Involvement" that managers will find to be an invaluable asset when making decisions about when and how to involve the public.The author explores the sensible steps managers can take to successfully enhance public support and acceptance. The book is filled with illustrative examples and includes such useful information as: How to build strong and lasting working relationships with the public. The do's and don'ts to keep in mind when contemplating public involvement. How to make decisions that call for extensive public involvement. Which mechanism to employ if only information is desired from the public. And much more. Written for government officials at all levels, students of public administration, public planners, and consultants and trainers to government, Public Participation in Public Decisions outlines a strategic plan for including citizens in public decisions—a plan that goes a long way in creating a stronger democracy for all.

Download or read book Achieving Person-Centred Health Systems written by Ellen Nolte and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of person-centred health systems is widely advocated in political and policy declarations to better address health system challenges. A person-centred approach is advocated on political, ethical and instrumental grounds and believed to benefit service users, health professionals and the health system more broadly. However, there is continuing debate about the strategies that are available and effective to promote and implement 'person-centred' approaches. This book brings together the world's leading experts in the field to present the evidence base and analyse current challenges and issues. It examines 'person-centredness' from the different roles people take in health systems, as individual service users, care managers, taxpayers or active citizens. The evidence presented will not only provide invaluable policy advice to practitioners and policymakers working on the design and implementation of person-centred health systems but will also be an excellent resource for academics and graduate students researching health systems in Europe. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Involvement Manual Since its inception by the Reclamation Act of 1902, first as the Reclamation Service and then as the Bureau of Reclamation, the mission of the Water and Power Resources Service has been to develop, manage, and conserve the water and related resources of the western United States for the benefit of the people and the Nation. From its beginnings in single purpose irrigation undertakings to its current stature as architect of multipurpose projects, the Service has had the ability and perceptiveness to change to meet the needs of the people. The emphasis in uses and the policies for management of our finite water resources will continue to change as our Nation's economic, social, and environmental priorities change. Interaction with the people - Public Involvement - provides a process to ensure that programs of the Service remain responsive to the changing needs and concerns of the people through meaningful public participation in our decision-making process. The Service has issued Instructions on Public Involvement (Series 350, General Instructions, Part 351, Public Involvement). Those instructions: State as policy the purpose, objective, and scope of public involvement within the organization; Establish responsibility and accountability for public involvement among the respective management levels within the organization; and Set forth systematic processes to be followed in public involvement activities. Public involvement will become increasingly an integral part of the Service's activities - a part of our way of doing business. Nearly everyone in the organization will share in that responsibility. Knowledge and skills in the techniques needed to interact effectively with the numerous publics will be essential to many positions having program responsibility. All personnel involved in decision-making processes leading to significant actions will be provided information and training in the basic principles and skills of public involvement, including interpersonal communication, conducting meetings and workshops, and public involvement strategy and policy development. This Public Involvement Manual has been prepared to serve those needs. It includes major sections dealing with the general principles of public involvement, structuring public involvement programs, and public involvement techniques. The manual contains a wealth of information on assessing the need for and formulating and carrying out public involvement; not as a separate activity, but as an integral part of our program.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute for Water Resources (IWR), like most governmental entities, found the seventies were a decade of challenge. IWR is an interdisciplinary research center which, through staff studies or funding of studies by consultants, provides policy guidance and research and development in the area of water resources planning to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As such, IWR played a considerable role in shaping the Corps of Engineers adaption to the 1970's. It was a decade of challenge, but it was also a decade of contribution in which IWR was able to contribute substantially to policy and procedures which resulted in a more adequate balancing of economic, environmental, and social values in water resources decision making. Central to this contribution was IWR's work in public involvement. The genesis for this reader was two-fold: A recognition that a great deal of material had been developed for IWR-sponsored training programs which many practioners inside and outside government believed represented an important contribution to the field of public involvement, and therefore deserved publication; and, A desire to provide recognition to IWR's contribution to the field over the field over the past decade.
