Description
This study develops an approach to the evaluation of plan and project alternatives. The difficult trade offs between technical or social goals and the inevitable environmental impacts are discussed in socio-politcs terms and a case is put for the early mobilization of citizen groups in the process of assessment. Current evaluation methods tend to be either threateningly mathematical or largely intuitive and often ignore the essentially political nature of public choice. The methodology developed in this book enables a final deicision to be made based on the use of rational judgement aids placed alongside formally structured public interest arguments representing the different social policies of the interested groups. This new method informs decision-makers by bringing together the strengths of analysis and richness of human values. Particular attention if paid to the wide range of judgement aids available to the planning professional and examples of their use are presented in appendices.
