ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze methods and levels of citizen participation in urban development decision making by policy stages. Based on the analysis, we tried to find the relationships between citizen participation and urban political and cultural characteristics with the relative effectiveness of citizen participation. Analysis of cities in Florida provided several policy implications. First, city governments' efforts to promote citizen participation in urban policy decision making should be understood in the relationship with urban environment. Second, methods and levels of citizen participation can be determined by the will and perception of urban politicians such as local government heads and legislators. In addition, whether urban governments apply traditional or non-traditional methods of citizen participation is different depending on the policy stages. It should be also understood in the relationship with urban political and institutional structure. Finally, the effectiveness of citizen participation cannot be evaluated based on absolute scale since it is different depending on the urban environment.
