Community Participation
Importance of Community Participation
A community participation program is about gathering different views from whoever wants to participate and making people in the city feel welcome to voice their opinions. Community participation is provided and facilitated by various legal provisions. In many states, the constitution provides the basic framework for empowering the urban local government, rural community, and citizens. Creating Wards Committees, local groups, self-help groups, educating the public, etc., provides the structure for citizens’ participation. Local government institutions are highly participatory, primarily by their close interface with local communities.
Passive Participation
People participate by being told what is going to happen or has already happened through unilateral announcements by the administration.
Participation in Information Giving
People participate by answering questions posted by extractive researchers using questionnaire surveys or similar approaches and do not have the opportunity to influence proceedings.
Participation by Consultation
People participate by being consulted, and external people listen to views and may modify these in the light of people’s responses but do not involve them in decision-making.
Participation for Material Incentives
People participate by providing resources, for example labor, in return for food, cash, or other material incentives. Yet, people have no stake in prolonging activities when the end of the motivation.
Functional Participation
People participate by forming groups to meet predetermined objectives related to the project after major decisions have been made.
Interactive Participation
People participate in joint analysis, development of action plans, and formation or strengthening of local institutions.
Self-Mobilization
People participate by taking initiatives independent of external institutions to change systems. They develop contacts with external institutions for resources and the technical advice they need but retain control over how resources are used. These can also take the form of social movements and bring about social change.
