Participatory rural planning

The Institute of Spatial and Environmental Planning (ISEP) at Queen's University and the Rural Community Network (RCN) have got together to produce a useful toolkit for participatory rural planning. The kit consists of three data resource booklets (covering localities in East Down, West Tyrone and the western shores of Lough Neagh), two technical papers and a DVD/CD on the community preferences modelling process and three powerpoint presentations on settlement morphology, questionnaire data and the workshop processes. Copies of the toolkit are available from the Rural Community Network.

There are also an interesting short articles available online. One titled Participatory planning in Northern Ireland; the learning community approach is available from PLA Notes No. 38.
