| Abstract: | In the Netherlands a new Environment and Planning Act is currently being developed. From 2021 onwards, this Act will obligate organisations to involve citizens in an early stage of the planning phase. This research evaluates citizen participation in three road construction planning processes. Pattern matching has been used to compare the method that was applied in practice with the method that is recommended in literature on public participation and problem solving. Based on a comparative analysis of the case study results, the basis for a citizen participation strategy is developed. The research focuses on citizen participation in planning phases of the upgrading of three provincial roads: N233 Veenendaal Rondweg-Oost, N33 Appingdam-Zuidbroek, and N241 A.C. de Graafweg. Our analysis shows that the consultant involved in the cases generally applied suitable methods for participation, which fit the problem context. If deviations were observed, this was for understandable reasons, such as money and time constraints. Sweco is recommended to use the problem context-participatory process matrix as a base for citizen participation strategy. This matrix recommends participatory process methods that fits the problem context of a project. |
