Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Sociology
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Mainstream environmental management (EM) is often centralized and narrowly focused on the 'environment'.
  • A growing body of literature advocates for a participatory, decentralized, and community-oriented approach to EM.
  • This participatory approach adopts a more holistic view of the environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the core principles of participatory environmental management.
  • To assess the opportunities and constraints associated with decentralized, community-based EM.
  • To evaluate the practical meaningfulness and institutionalization potential of participatory EM.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of participatory environmental management principles.
  • Analysis of opportunities and constraints in decentralized EM.
  • Conceptual assessment of participation in environmental governance.

Main Results:

  • Participatory approaches promote localized and inclusive environmental management.
  • Decentralized EM fosters community orientation and a holistic environmental perspective.
  • Challenges exist in ensuring meaningful participation and institutionalizing these approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Participatory environmental management is conducive to localized and inclusive practices.
  • Significant questions remain regarding the practical effectiveness and institutionalization of participatory EM.
  • Further research is needed to address the challenges in implementing community-oriented environmental governance.
