论建设工程环境影响评价中的公众参与及其法律保障

On the Public Participation in Construction Project's Environmental Impact Assessment and It's Legal Protection

公众参与建设工程环境影响评价是我国工程法律体系中的一项重要制度。但是,当前我国的法律对建设工程环评中的公众参与权保障力度明显不足。环评的本质是一种利益权衡与价值选择的过程,法律应从人与建设工程的关系角度出发,构建起具有人本主义精神的环评制度。这就需要在法律上重塑公众参与环评的程序与机制,明确建设单位和环评部门的信息公开义务,保障公众的环评参与权,并对未能实现有效公众参与的环评设定法律后果。

Public participation in construction project's Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA)is an important system of China's engineering legal system.However,China's legal system is obviously insufficient to protect the public participation rights.The essential of EIA is a process of trade-off and value selection.The law should construct an EIA system with humanistic spirit from the angle of the relations between human and construction projects.This requires a legal reinvention of the public participation in EIA.The law should clarify the public obligations of the construction unit and the EIA department,and protect public participation rights,and set legal consequence for the ineffective public participation in EIA.
