本文探讨了公众参与机制在某些重大环境灾害中的作用。它审查了人们的生活方式或生命受到直接威胁从而引起公民参与的情况。威胁性的问题往往在道德上、身体上、社会上、经济上、宗教上和其他方面都是一个群体所不能接受的。正如本文将介绍的那样，公民在看到自己的生活方式受到威胁时，自愿参加社区活动。一个介绍性的历史观点，法律的框架，它是基于，和背景资料的参与机制，所有强调的重要性和需要赋予公民参与技能，以便在现有的教育，法律的和社会制度的变化。讨论了日本水俣、印度博帕尔、意大利塞维索、乌克兰切尔诺贝利和阿拉斯加埃克森-瓦尔迪兹的重大环境事故/灾害，主要是为了说明在每一次突发灾害中受影响社区的反应和参与机制。如果全世界的公民都积极参与环境问题，我们很可能会经历更少的环境事故。
This paper examines the role of public participation mechanisms in certain major environmental disasters. It examines situations in which people’s lifestyles or their lives have been directly threatened, and thus elicited citizen participation. Threatening issues often seem morally, physically, socially, economically, religiously, and otherwise unacceptable to a group. As will be presented in this paper, citizens voluntarily participate in a community activity when they see that their way of life has been threatened. An introductory historical perspective, the legal framework upon which it is based, and background information on the participatory mechanisms, all emphasizing the importance and need for empowering citizens with participatory skills so as to bring changes in the existing educational, legal, and social systems are presented. The major environmental accidents/disasters of Minamata, Japan; Bhopal, India; Seveso, Italy; Chernobyl, Ukraine; and Exxon-Valdez, Alaska are discussed, mainly to indicate the reaction, and the participatory mechanisms used by the affected communities in each of the sudden disasters that occurred. If citizens worldwide had been active participants in the environmental issues, it is quite possible that we would have experienced fewer environmental accidents.
