Public participation can be facilitated by stressing the benefits to be gained. 8
People’s participation is a cumulative and continuous process, which has to be nurtured and gradually developed with the help of the people themselves through close rapport, communication, their organisation, decentralized and integrated approach so that the tempo of development not only reaches a crescendo but is also sustained
Public participation can be facilitated with an appropriate organizational structure available for expressing interest. This may require organizing a more neutral group than may be in existence in a community. However, in some situations, existing groups are adequate. Situation judgment is required by persons with appropriate experience and competency.
Public participation can be facilitated by helping citizens find positive ways to respond when their way-of life is threatened. Most people want to act responsibly. Use these situations to help people find positive ways to deal with threatening predicaments. The most positive of all approaches to facilitate greater participation is to provide citizens with better knowledge. Obviously, the knowledge has to be in their value system. When it is, experience shows they usually act accordingly. Adequate time and means of diffusing the new knowledge must be employed for satisfactory results.
