Abstract
The proper design of a public participation process relies on a clear understanding of the fundamental components and how to activate them. The three fundamental components are the feedback or Evaluation Strategy, the problem Representation method, and the strategy for incorporating, or Modeling the resulting feedback. There are a wide variety of Evaluation Strategies, ranging from small group processes to very large surveys, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses vis-a-vis the QICE criteria and the specific project context. These strategies must be selected with a mind to uncovering differential information about the participants and their values and preferences as they relate to the project. The public can provide projective “what-if” responses that will help professionals improve their plans, as well as nuanced preferences regarding proposed alternatives, if the process is well-designed.
