本文揭示了地方知识如何能够改善面临最严重环境和健康风险的社区的规划。这些社区经常利用他们的第一手经验（这里称为本地知识）来挑战专家与非专业人士之间的区别。社区参与环境决策给规划者带来了压力，要求他们找到新的方法，将科学家的专业知识与社区的地方知识结合起来。通过访谈、原始文本和民族志田野调查，本文定义了地方知识，揭示了它与专业知识的不同之处，并认为地方知识至少可以在四个方面改善规划(1)认识论，增加了环境政策的知识库；(2)程序民主，包括新的和以前被压制的声音；(3)有效性，提供低成本的政策解决方案；(4)分配正义，强调环境负担分配的不公平。
This article reveals how local knowledge can improve planning for communities facing the most serious environmental and health risks. These communities often draw on their firsthand experience—here called local knowledge—to challenge expert-lay distinctions. Community participation in environmental decisions is putting pressure on planners to find new ways of fusing the expertise of scientists with insights from the local knowledge of communities. Using interviews, primary texts, and ethnographic fieldwork, this article defines local knowledge, reveals how it differs from professional knowledge, and argues that local knowledge can improve planning in at least four ways (1) epistemology, adding to the knowledge base of environmental policy; (2) procedural democracy, including new and previously silenced voices; (3) effectiveness, providing low-cost policy solutions; and (4) distributive justice, highlighting inequitable distributions of environmental burdens.
