  1. Evaluation of Collaborative Land Use Planning in British Columbia Thomas Gunton, Chad Day, Peter Williams School of Resource and Environmental Management

  2. Research Program (FRBC and SSHRC) • 1. Design Collaborative Planning System • 1988-1992 • 2. Preliminary Evaluation • 1993-1998 • 3. Evaluation Planning Process • 2001-2004 • 4. Evaluation Planning Implementation • 2002-2005

  3. Collaborative Planning/Shared Decision-making • Delegation of planning to stakeholders who engage in face to face principled negotiation to reach a consensus agreement • Arose out if dissatisfaction with traditional “consultative” participation methods and increasing conflict among stakeholders

  4. Benefits of Collaborative Planning • 1. Reach Agreement/Decision • 2. Better Decisions • 3. Better Implementation • 4. Social Capital

  5. Limitations • 1. Stakeholder Reluctance • 2. Inequality of Power • 3. Limited Applicability • 4. Vague Solutions • 5. Inadequate Accountability • stakeholders, public, science • 6. Logistics

  6. British Columbia • Background • War in the Woods (1980s-early 1990s) • Dissatisfaction with traditional resource planning • Adopted Collaborative Planning 1992 • Commission of Resources and Environment(CORE) • Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs)

  7. Strategic Land Use Planning 1980s “war in the woods”

  9. Collaborative Plan Characteristics • 1. Stakeholders 12-70 • 2. Area 3,000-100,000 sq.mi. (16,000) • 3. Population 6,000-350,000 (15,000) • 3. Time 3-6 years • 4. Number 23

  10. Decision-Making • Consensus 13 • Virtual Consensus 2 • No Agreement 4 (CORE) • In Progress 4

  11. Research Method for Evaluating Process • 1. Evaluation Method- Process and Output Criteria • 2. Document Process • 3. Design and Administer Survey • 4. Analyze • 5. Conclusions and Recommendations

  12. Research Questions • 1. Was the Process a Success? • 2. What Factors were Key? • 3. Lessons for Theory and Practice

  13. Defining Success • 1. Agreement Reached • 2. Good Agreement (support) • 3. Agreement Implemented • 4. Achieve Other Benefits (Social Capital)

  14. Survey

  15. Who Benefited Most?

  16. Implications for Theory • 1. More likely to reach agreement YES • 2. More likely to implement YES • 3. More likely in public interest YES • 4. Creates other benefits YES

  17. Limitations • 1. Stakeholder Reluctance (No) • 2. Inequality of Power (Yes) • 3. Limited Applicability No • 4. Vague Solutions (No) • 5. Inadequate Accountability No • stakeholders, public, science • 6. Logistics No

  18. Conclusions • 1. Collaborative Planning Successful • 2. Keys to Success external and internal • 3. External- BATNAS • 4. Internal - Process Management • 5. Future Research
