Evaluating Community Consultation: Criteria and Tools for Assessing Processes and Outcomes

评估社区协商：评估过程和结果的标准和工具。预计规划机构将把社区协商作为决策过程的一个要素。过去的研究集中在开发有效的咨询技术。对评估协商活动的准则很少给予研究关注。拟议的项目将有助于评估咨询方案的基本知识。它将通过评估一项重大的区域规划工作（SEQ 2021）来做到这一点。它将制定和测试综合评价标准和工具。该项目将为《2021年可持续发展战略》以及澳大利亚的其他规划和决策机构提供现成的评估材料，这是评估研究和实践的重大突破。

Evaluating Community Consultation: Criteria and Tools for Assessing Processes and Outcomes. Planning agencies are expected to include community consultation as an element of the decision-making process. Past research has focussed on developing effective consultation techniques. Little research attention has been given to guidelines for evaluating consultation activities. The proposed project will contribute fundamental knowledge on evaluation of consultation programs. It will do this through assessing a major regional planning exercise (SEQ 2021). It will develop and test comprehensive evaluation criteria and tools. The project will result in ready-to-use evaluation materials for SEQ 2021, and for other planning and decision-making authorities in Australia, representing a significant breakthrough in evaluation research and practice.
