Public participation during river development in Southeast Asia
This interdisciplinary research strives to extend existing knowledge on engineering development processes by researching the interrelation between the success of implementation and stakeholders. The research investigates the opportunities to improve the public’s opinion about river management projects in Southeast Asia‚ by applying public participation measures. The existing literature body discloses the necessity to understand how to organize river development projects in the way, which leads to success and positive outcomes, as well as positive perception of society. There are many techniques how to enhance the urban river quality but rarely do they present the expected result. Such situation requires seeking for a different perspective to the problem. That is why the research about the role of society and people’s attitudes about the project and most importantly how it affects the project development is necessary. In order to capture the human perspective and understanding of the public participation during river development, the qualitative interviews with experts, government officials, community leaders, NGOs representatives, etc. were held. Semi-structured interviews allowed having a freedom to investigate the most important concepts and ideas with the particular person, meanwhile, the core questions are staying the same. In every case studies’ country, there were six to fifteen interviews selected. These interviews disclosed the realities of river development in the Southeast Asian cities. The research disclosed several important issues related to the possibilities to improve public participation, especially during the river development process. The recognition of the vastness of existing and applied definition and concepts is causing confusions, misconceptions, lack of comprehension and possibly even conflicts. It also hinders the development of projects. Furthermore, the research exposed the existing relation between the success of public participation and the success of river management projects. ...
