摘要
"地方21世纪议程"(LA21)有两个主要目标。①在本研究论文中的一些经验证据的基础上,首要目标是改进民主(环境)决策程序,以便使大多数人能够参与规划和决策,并能够了解这些决策的重大意义。②LA21程序寻求以既考虑地方的情况又考虑全球情况的方式改善(至少间接地)当地广义的环境状况。本文的第一部分探讨了LA21的概念与方法并阐明对于波罗的海LA21非常重要的不同的行动领域。此外,研究论文还将描述和展示在一个城市网,即波罗的海城市联盟(UBC)范围内的LA21形势。包括传递信息、模型及观念的联网是将LA21理念传播到特别是新近民主化的社会的一个主要手段。最后,本文将对波罗的海边缘的LA21形势作一全面的评价。
Local Agenda 21 (LA21) processes have 2 central goals. /) On the basis of some of the empirical evidence in this study, the primary goal is to improve democratic (environmental) policy-making processes in such a manner that a larger share of the population will be able ID participate in planning and decision making and will also be able to understand the consequences ot these decisions.//) The LA21 processes seek to improve (at least indirectly) the broadly defined environmental situation locally in a manner [hat takes into account both the local and the global contests. The first part of this article discusses the concept and methods of LA21 and sheds light on the different action areas that are central to the Baltic LA21 processes. In addition, the study will describe and display the LA21 situation within one network of cities, the Union ot the Baltic Cities (UBC). Networking, including transfer of information, models and ideas, has been among the main tools for the diffusion of LA21 ideas especially into newly democratized societies. Finally, the article will conclude with an overall assessment of the LA21 situation on the Baltic rim.
