    Introduction

    In 2010 the Emilia-Romagna Region approved law no. 3/10 regarding citizen participation in decisions of public interest. The Region used this method in the development of a new regional transport plan. The current Regional Integrated Transportation Plan covered the time period 1998-2010. When drafting the new law, the Region decided to use participation as a mean to gather suggestions and solutions concerning transport and mobility issues. The Regional Department of Territorial Planning promoted the event, that was supported by an outside firm (Avventura Urbana).

  • Problems and Purpose

    The "Piano Integrato di Salute" is the document of the Società della Salute that plans healthy and social policies. Società della Salute are public consortium between municipality and Asl (Aziende Sanitarie Locali), the organisations that manage health care. They have to guarantee good performances with a budget that is reduced every year: to do this, efficency and citizens involvement seem to be the most important answers.

    Il Padule Che Vorremmo ("The Wetland We Want") was a participatory process that occurred over six months between 2009-2010 in the municipality of Ponte Buggianese in Tuscany, Italy. The process used field research, the expertise of technical experts, and conflict mediation techniques to facilitate citizen input through working groups. Through this process the various stakeholders were able to come to an agreement about the restructuring of the local sewage treatment system and its impact on the Fucecchio Wetland.
