Abstract
This paper examines the effectiveness of an Ontario Government-initiated public participation program in the Thames River Basin. Interviews from a random-stratified sample of households within a defined impact area provide the information for the analysis. Findings suggest that the proponent’s efforts to inform the affected parties were wanting. Furthermore, observed statistical differences between rural and urban respondents is viewed as being relevant for the design and operation of participatory policy. It is hoped that this and future studies will help in clarifying the relationship between public involvement and project success.
