Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To examine how participatory planning can emerge and be institutionalized in conservative cities where citizens have little experience with political activity, we conducted a case study on urban planning practices employed during the 1970s in Portland, Oregon. Among our results, although protests and participatory organizations were rare in Portland in the 1960s, participatory planning emerged and became institutionalized there in the 1970s due to three factors. First, the proportion of Portland’s population aged between fifteen to thirty four years increased in the 1960s. Second, the generation that grew up when social movements peaked in the United States in the 1960s became accustomed to methods of participatory democracy more than earlier generations. Third, the population of urban professionals that increased in the 1970s played a critical role in the institutionalization of participatory planning in Portland.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
市民参加の程度に関する研究の古典であるArnstein (1969/2007)は、市民参加の程度を8つの段階に分類したが、それらは2つに大別される。(1)「誘導・操作」、(2)「ガス抜き」(3)「情報提供」、(4)「意見聴取」、(5)「懐柔」までは形式的市民参加であり、(6)「連携」、(7)「市民に権限委譲」、(8)「市民による管理」までは、実質的市民参加である。本研究は、後者の実質的市民参加の制度化に必要とされる要因およびそのプロセスを明らかにした点で、学術的意義がある。また、日本のまちづくりにおける実質的市民参加の実現に示唆を与える点で社会的意義がある。
