Abstract

ABSTRACT Ineffective public participation impedes the success of megaprojects. A solution lies in principle advancement, which can ensure public participation effectiveness in public infrastructure megaprojects. The fulfillment degrees of transparency, democracy, trust, and efficiency, which are evident in the Beijing–Shenyang High-Speed Railway (BSHSR), define the effectiveness level. Effectiveness can be rated as low, medium, and high levels, which match the three goals in practice, namely, compliance, reaching an agreement, and facilitating success, respectively. This study proposes policy implications, namely, improving laws, advancing evaluation criteria, and reshaping stakeholder roles, to implement the four principles. Globally, findings may clarify the understanding of the relationship between principles and public participation effectiveness.
