Abstract

ABSTRACT Building upon principles for public engagement and for impact assessment (IA) follow-up, this paper distils best practice principles specific to public participation in IA follow-up. Literature review, followed by a simple survey distributed to IA follow-up and/or public engagement practitioners, helped identify key principles and related published sources. Twelve principles for public participation in IA follow-up are presented, which relate to (1) mandatory public reporting, (2) ease of access to published material, (3) full transparency, (4) clarity about the IA follow-up process, (5) input to decision-making, (6) continuous access to IA follow-up activities and feedback, (7) independent verification, (8) two-way communication, (9) partnerships, (10) Indigenous inclusion, (11) participatory monitoring, and (12) involvement in adaptive management. They form a ladder of public engagement; the initial principles pertain mainly to information provision, with increasing levels of participation and legitimacy inherent in the latter principles. The principles are intended to provide a foundation for practitioners and community members involved in IA follow-up to enhance practice at all stages of the development life cycle, helping to achieve sustainable development.

提炼公众参与影响评估后续行动的最佳做法原则

摘要基于公众参与和影响评估（IA）后续行动的原则，本文提炼了公众参与IA后续行动的最佳实践原则。文献综述，然后向IA后续行动和/或公众参与从业者分发一份简单的调查，有助于确定关键原则和相关出版来源。提出了公众参与IA后续行动的12项原则，这些原则涉及（1）强制性公开报告，（2）方便获取已发表的材料，（3）完全透明，（4）明确IA后续行动过程，（5）决策投入，（6）持续获取IA后续活动和反馈，（7）独立核查，（8）双向沟通，（9）伙伴关系，（10）土著人融入，（11）参与性监测，以及（12）参与适应性管理。它们构成了公众参与的阶梯；最初的原则主要涉及信息提供，后一原则所固有的参与程度和合法性不断提高。这些原则旨在为参与IA后续行动的从业者和社区成员提供基础，以加强发展生命周期各个阶段的实践，帮助实现可持续发展。
