Advocacy planning
Introduction
Advocacy planning is one amongst other citizen participation methods identified to be suitable for determination of legal aspects in planning of public spaces.
Advocacy planners' main activities are informing ordinary citizens about planning issues (on security or other) and working out suggestions together. Advocacy planners also represent ordininary citizen before official bodies such as the city administration, and promote and chair discussion processes, etc.
Process
Advocacy planning is mostly employed at local or regional level. Advocacy planning should not lead to ordinary citizens being pushed into passive roles or treated like children. Instead, it should help them to stand up for their own interests and should make it easier to compensate for possible discrimination.
Help in addressing cultural/ethics aspects in planning of secure public spaces
- Underpin the interests of segments of the population in planning processes where the former have difficulty in expressing themselves, are socially disadvantaged or are simply not organized;
- Ensure that all segments of the population affected by a planning process are taken into account even-handedly;
- Mediate between the everyday world of ordinary citizens and the perspective of experts.
