The important of public participation in the Integrated Rural Development The experiences of Advanced and developing countries


Abstract in English

Many of the our communities problems (urban and rural) will not be solved unless the citizens of these communities participate in planning to solve them, because they have the most knowledge about their communities because of their daily contact with these problems. Research target starts here to excite the attention of local community citizens to the importance of their participation in the planning and development programs of their communities, and highlight the role of neighbourhoods committees of local community participation for the planners of development programs, and the role of these committees in order to work out how to activate their role to be used in the development of the local community participation process. Then the search results come to show that the local community participation is one of tools that increase the social environment efficiency, and one of the ways that build the community which helps people to identify their problems and deal with them by the participating in the decision-making during the process of planning, construction, management of projects and investment of the local civil abilities (financial and human) in order to decrease the state burdens.
