Stakeholder Dialogue in Mobility Planning

This lecture explores the importance of stakeholder dialogue in the context of mobility planning, discussing the various objectives of stakeholder engagement and the construction of a participatory planning process. It emphasizes the significance of informing the public, distinguishing between information and communication, and the different levels of stakeholder involvement in decision-making. The lecture delves into the roles of interest-holders and opinion-holders in mobility debates, highlighting the need for expertise in planning while also acknowledging the diverse perspectives and interests involved. It addresses the challenges of balancing technical expertise with public accessibility and transparency in planning processes, as well as the evolving role of experts as facilitators of dialogue. The lecture concludes by underscoring that while stakeholder participation can enhance decision-making, it is not a panacea for resolving complex and contentious issues in mobility planning.

Public participation

Public participation, also known as citizen participation or patient and public involvement, is the inclusion of the public in the activities of any organization or project. Public participation is similar to but more inclusive than stakeholder engagement. Generally public participation seeks and facilitates the involvement of those potentially affected by or interested in a decision. This can be in relation to individuals, governments, institutions, companies or any other entities that affect public interests.

Decision-making

In psychology, decision-making (also spelled decision making and decisionmaking) is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several possible alternative options. It could be either rational or irrational. The decision-making process is a reasoning process based on assumptions of values, preferences and beliefs of the decision-maker. Every decision-making process produces a final choice, which may or may not prompt action.

Conflict resolution

Conflict resolution is conceptualized as the methods and processes involved in facilitating the peaceful ending of conflict and retribution. Committed group members attempt to resolve group conflicts by actively communicating information about their conflicting motives or ideologies to the rest of group (e.g., intentions; reasons for holding certain beliefs) and by engaging in collective negotiation. Dimensions of resolution typically parallel the dimensions of conflict in the way the conflict is processed.

Group decision-making

Group decision-making (also known as collaborative decision-making or collective decision-making) is a situation faced when individuals collectively make a choice from the alternatives before them. The decision is then no longer attributable to any single individual who is a member of the group. This is because all the individuals and social group processes such as social influence contribute to the outcome. The decisions made by groups are often different from those made by individuals.

Conflict resolution research

Conflict resolution is any reduction in the severity of a conflict. It may involve conflict management, in which the parties continue the conflict but adopt less extreme tactics; settlement, in which they reach agreement on enough issues that the conflict stops; or removal of the underlying causes of the conflict. The latter is sometimes called "resolution", in a narrower sense of the term that will not be used in this article.
