Q & A
What is the definition of collaborative environmental planning?
-Collaborative environmental planning is a process that integrates three forms of community capital: social, intellectual, and political. It involves participants and stakeholders working together to solve environmental and planning issues through mutual trust, knowledge sharing, and cooperative effort.
What are the three characteristics of social capital in collaborative environmental planning?
-The three characteristics of social capital are: 1) participants are bound by a common sense of community with a shared vision, 2) they are voluntarily and willfully engaged in a cooperative effort to solve problems, and 3) social capital is enabled, maintained, and strengthened by the involvement of social and environmental interest groups.
How is intellectual capital defined in the context of collaborative planning?
-Intellectual capital in collaborative planning is considered as the shared knowledge of reality, which includes understanding how the world works and the collective wisdom that guides decision-making and action within the community.
What is political capital and its role in collaborative environmental planning?
-Political capital refers to the influence and power to act, which is crucial for a community to influence governmental actions related to land use and development. It is the collective ability of a community to shape policy and actions through both formal and informal means.
What is the fourth generation of collaborative planning, and how does it differ from previous generations?
-The fourth generation of collaborative planning is characterized by collaborative learning, which is organized around learning networks across communities of practice and place. It emphasizes joint fact-finding, consensus-building, interactive community design, and continuous communication, including the use of electronic networks and open-source information.
What does it mean to seek consensus rather than compromise in collaborative planning?
-Seeking consensus in collaborative planning means striving for a collective agreement on policies or actions that all parties can support, rather than settling for a compromise that might leave some parties feeling like winners or losers. It aims to create a sense of shared ownership and commitment to the outcome.
How does interactive community design work in the context of the fourth generation of collaborative planning?
-Interactive community design in the fourth generation of collaborative planning involves professionals and laypersons working together in a respectful and reciprocal manner. They exchange ideas and inputs to inform their opinions and create community designs that reflect a combination of expert knowledge and community values.
What is the significance of continuous and ongoing communication in collaborative environmental planning?
-Continuous and ongoing communication is essential for maintaining engagement and coordination among all stakeholders. It includes the use of electronic networks and social media for asynchronous communication, which allows for the timely exchange of information and ideas, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic planning process.
What are the key outcomes expected from successful collaborative planning?
-Expected outcomes from successful collaborative planning include the widespread sharing and diffusion of knowledge, joint problem definition and addressing, mobilization of resources, shared responsibility for success, and the strengthening of social capital within the community.
What are some of the key tools for collaborative planning mentioned in the script?
-Key tools for collaborative planning include workshops for open-ended discussions, focus groups for targeted issue discussions, scenario building to evaluate external drivers and community responses, and design charrettes where experts and citizens collaborate on land use designs.

Transcripts
hello this is lecture four and it
corresponds to chapter 4 of the textbook
collaborative environmental planning and
learning for sustainability what we mean
by collaborative environmental planning
I think we already have a sense for that
bullets let's discuss it in a little
more detail here collaborative
environmental planning requires
integration of three forms of community
capital the first form of community
capital is social capital which can be
defined as a community stock of mutual
trust and knowledge built and activated
through networks of formal that is
institutionalized and informal or
personalized interactions among
participants and stakeholders it
generally can be considered to have
three characteristics first these
participants are bound by a common sense
of community that is they have a shared
vision of community secondly it they're
engaged in voluntarily and willfully and
deliberately engaged in a cooperative
effort to help solve one another's
problems and third is such social
capital is enabled maintained and
strengthened by the involvement of
social and environmental interest and
gos second type of capital is
intellectual capital and intellectual
capital really can be thought of as the
shared shared knowledge of reality how
does the world work and thirdly there's
political capital which is really the
influence and power to act that is
without the ability to act and the
ability to influence actions
there's an organization has no world
political capital so a community's
political capital is its collective
ability to influence the actions that
government typically essentially
government take in terms of policy and
actions in relation to land use and land
development
in the book they talk about the fourth
generation of collaborative planning and
they provide a nice table there that
shows this trajectory and that this
fourth generation is the culmination of
these many years of evolution
so how would this be how what is this
fourth generation of collaborative
planning personal it it's based on this
like this collaborative learning okay
that is tuna is organized and self
organized around learning networks
across communities of practice that
would be professional or technical not
necessarily spatially based you know
this would be associations of architects
or even interests of both individuals as
a little group organized to advance this
area of interest or professional
competence that they have and then
communities of place which are cities
neighborhood subdivision so combines
these two types of communities these are
this collaborative learning to be
successful can be characterized as
consisting of joint fact finding that is
we all look together for the facts we
don't just have one someone from outside
our community buying the facts I tell
the tell us about them now we as a
community engage together in a
fact-finding effort secondly we are
looking for consensus not compromise
compromise produces the sense of loss
produces a sense of winner and loser
know what we're looking for is consensus
how can we find agreement about policy
about any sort of action that we want to
take thirdly it involves interactive
community design where professionals
become engaged with laypersons
in a respective respectful interaction
and we take the input from from each to
inform our opinions
and so that we can really create a
community that that combines these two
perspectives and values and then
fourthly it involves extensive and
continuous ongoing communication and
this obviously includes electronic
networks that is social media this is
known as asynchronous communication by
that you know I can send you an email at
any time and you can look at it at any
time
it's not it's not synchronized in terms
of our involvement and that's an
important characteristic of this new
type of collaborative planning and then
secondly there's this you know we
utilize open and crowdsourcing open
source there's a lot of stuff that's
being written and posted online it's
available to everyone to read and then
there are these other opportunities to
get generate support for different
efforts and so that's a extensive use of
these two types of opportunities that
are presented by the Internet
the other another characteristic of this
fourth generation is to be Kari defined
as adaptive collaborative management in
other words these are communities of
place that are involved in in action
they they're implementing they're
managing and they're monitoring projects
and this is all done through formal and
informal partnerships and cooperatives
it's a little bit of a concept there but
you know where again it's not just well
let's decide what we're going to do now
what what the city do it or whoever we
decide what to do we then do it and then
we see if it's working or not it's a
very kind of hands-on approach to food
you know cheap accomplishing sustainable
development in a community or in a
neighborhood
some of the requirements of
collaborative planning and
decision-making one requirement is that
there be a sense of shared Authority
there's no one in chart we're all doing
this together as equals 10
this relationship is developed early and
we engaged in each other's we think
engage in this effort extensively that
is everyone is involved extensively
everyone is engaged through it it's
based on strong and sound scientific
information on analysis and this is one
of the key roles of planners play to
give the type of information that's
needed to make informed decisions about
what with what we need to give thirdly
it involves a holistic understanding of
problems and a proactive rather than a
reactive approach and by holistic we
mean we're getting back into the 3e sort
of thing there what are the economic
ramifications the environmentally social
equity ramifications of a problem and
and let's approach it in a way that
prevents damage prevents dysfunction and
then forth
again this is sort of this isn't it that
I do the dapped of management but but
adaptivity is embraced and this this
encourages creativity it involves a
willingness to learn from others and to
you know kind of look at that creativity
as an opportunity to go in a new and
better way new and better direction
so if you have a successful
collaborative approach you can expect
certain outcomes these are crucial to
sustainable development and
environmental planning one expected
outcome would be that knowledge is
spread and shared it's you know it
becomes widely it becomes diffused more
widely and accepted more widely
another outcome is that problems are
defined as they are addressed jointly
it's not just one agency doing it or one
person doing it or 180 au doing it we
were working together in different ways
but there's still a relationship to all
of the problems that have been defined
and identified importantly resources are
actually mobilized it isn't just here's
what we want to do gee maybe we'll get
it done yeah intrinsic to this is here's
how we're going to do it and these
resources of how to do are actually
organized and put into play fourthly the
responsibility for success is
acknowledged to be mine as well as yours
we all we all are responsible we all can
be blamed
we all can feel responsible with the
fault you'll blame if it doesn't succeed
and we all we all can gain take credit
and feel good about the fact that we've
succeeded
so it's ownership I guess basically what
what if it will have an outcome of
successful collaboration and then
successful collaboration has the invitin
inevitable consequence of building
social capital strengthening social
capital you can see it for that would be
okay some of the key tools for
collaborative planning this is rather
mundane but these are things that
planners do things the planners can use
methods of organizing the process but
one very effective approach are known as
workshops where you have this kind of
open-ended approach we want to
creatively brainstorm and discuss what
it all means in terms of where our
community is likely to be and how one
can make our community better
another technique let's call them or
tool or focus groups where the planner
let's say if there were 50 or she's
running it would identify specific
issues that we want to discuss or
problem and what can be done about those
another approach which you've discussed
in the previous lecture is scenario
building where we identify external
drivers that is things outside the
community that are driving our
development and evaluating possible
responses based on our internal
capacities as a community and finally
another common approach to collaborative
are designed charettes
where the experts and citizens will be
literally put in the same room to look
at designs to consider design about how
land is the our specific land could be
used and developed so that it you know
meets the concerns of citizens and
citizens or experts are then able to
take those concerns and translate them
in specific design characteristic and
that ends this audio lecture
