The paper is intended to analyze and compare the original and upgraded formulation procedures of regulatory plans based on the relevant national laws and regulations, in order to provide a clear image of the development of public participation in China's regulatory planning. Firstly, a comparative model has been developed with the definition of four-level public participation capabilities. Secondly, the original and upgraded formulation procedures of regulatory plans have been summarized to form the theoretical basis of the research. Finally, through the application of the comparative model, comparative studies on three public participation stages in regulatory planning, including the initial public participation, formal public participation, and supervision, have been implemented. The research output shows that at the national level, the legal status of public participation in China's regulatory planning has been greatly improved, and the legally binding process of public participation has been fundamentally established.展开更多

This paper firstly describes the Japanese institutional system of public participation in infrastructure planning; then it focuses on the institutionalization of participatory road planning procedure and road planning framework. Taking Yokohama Northwest Line for an example, it explains the planning procedure and public participation techniques in detail and analyzes the special advanced characteristics of the procedure. Finally, it suggests that China could learn the following experience from Japan: the institutionalization of participatory planning procedure, detailed division of road planning stages, setup of third-party organization, full publicity of information, and adoption of public suggestion, and implementation of multiple involvement techniques.展开更多

It argues that, within the current public participation framework, neither the "bottom-up" active participation nor the "top-down" passive participation can generate satisfactory effects or mediate multiple interests, whereas a professional third party could effectively promote public participation by bridging the public with the government. Besides, the third party plays an increasingly significant role in maintaining public interest, particularly in a context where the government often overemphasizes economic interests and there is a ubiquitous lack of awareness among the general public.展开更多
