我们研究了区域、道路和林业规划部门如何实施生物多样性保护和公众参与政策。评价是根据现有国际政策和相关文献中的规范规划模式进行的。然后，对主要的规划行为者进行了访谈，了解他们对生物多样性和参与政策的理解以及采取行动的能力和执行这些政策的意愿。结果表明，规划过程中存在一些差距，例如，对生物多样性保护和参与的认识不足，规划功能性生境网络和协作的资源和工具有限，地方和区域规划之间的联系不佳，以及公众参与程度较低。有效执行政策的主要问题似乎与规划者的行动能力有关，这表明，为生物多样性保护和有关单位的公众参与提供资源的优先程度相对较低。我们讨论了我们的调查结果，在东欧和中欧的新欧盟国家的环境政策的实施。
We studied how regional, road and forestry planning sectors work to implement policies about biodiversity conservation and public participation. Evaluations were based on a normative model for planning derived from the existing international policies and relevant literature. Key planning actors were then interviewed with regard to their understanding of biodiversity and participation policies as well as ability to act and willingness to implement them. The results indicate several gaps in planning processes, for example, insufficient knowledge about biodiversity conservation and participation, limited resources and tools for planning of functional habitat networks and collaboration, poor connections between local and regional planning, and weakly developed public participation. The main problem for effective policy implementation seems to be related to planners' ability to act, which indicates that relatively low priority was given to provide resources for biodiversity conservation and public participation by the relevant units. We discuss our findings in relation to the implementation of environmental policies in the new EU countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
