2.1.CommunityandAdvantagesofParticipation

Conceptssuchas‘community’and‘communityparticipation’havebeenintensivelyproblematizedinrecentdecadesinbothdevelopedanddevelopingcountries.Contextsareindeeddifferentandvaried[5].Theword‘community’isanumbrellatermthatisdefinedandappliedinamyriadofways[6].

Citizenparticipationis,however,alotmorethanjustconsultingpeopleforthesuccessfulresolutionofsocial,culturalandeconomicissuesrelatedtoenvironmentalconflicts.Theprimarygoalofparticipationistogiveproperresponsibilitytopeoplefor,andcontrolover,theirlives[7].Theimportanceofcommunityparticipationhasbeenemphasizedinthe5thDevelopmentPlanofIslamicRepublicofIranthathighlightedthenecessitycommunity-orientedapproaches,especiallyinlandscapearchitecture.
