Putting the People in Planning is a "how to" manual about
public participation in land-use planning. It tells how to run
a successful program for citizen involvement. The manual focuses
on citizen involvement programs for communities in the state of
Oregon, although, the techniques described in this manual can be
applied to any citizen involvement program.
This manual has two main purposes:
- To help planners and local officials carry out Oregon's
Statewide Planning Goal 1: Citizen Involvement; and
- To explain Goal 1 to non-planners, especially those who
serve on citizen committees in cities and counties throughout
Oregon.
