Document Summary
2 year review underway to improve local consultation processes. Trying to improve relations with municipalities that were originally alienated. Governments enact a policy based on process and execution as well as impact. Done every 10-15 years, evaluates community: evaluates previous plan. Aspects for evaluation: public inconvenience during construction, budgetary evaluation. Evaluation is a big part of planning: not just about making the plan, must evaluate it as well. The following is one typology to organize types of planning evaluation (waldner, 2004) (1) plan assessment - (ensuring that the plan embodies its criteria); (2) plan testing and evaluation (evaluating alternative ways to achieve a plan"s goals); (3) plan critique (a subjective review of a plan by other planners, similar to a movie review); (4) comparative research and professional evaluation (comparing various plans, with or without considering outcomes); (5) post hoc evaluation of plan outcomes.
