Study on Application of Stakeholder Assessment Method for the First Stage of Participate Planning Process

Abstract

In the planning and design of infrastructure, considerations of local situations and residents' interests are essential. However, there are many of problems in forming a dialogue platform when initiating the participatory process due to lack of knowledge on efficient methods for finding willing stakeholders and discussion topics that interest the stakeholders. This study aims to verify problems and develop a future vision for the introduction of a stakeholder assessment method developed in order to understand the interests in local areas and form a social agreement for the dialogue process. By conducting a questionnaire survey on government officials and personal interviews of practitioners who have managed a participatory planning process, the authors discovered problems and developed a vision for introducing the stakeholder assessment method as a preparation process for forming a participatory dialogue platform.
