Relying on the results of a large survey research project in
western New York State, the author compares the environmental
planning beliefs of public officials and citizens. His major
finding is that, although leaders involved in water quality
planning projects and the public share similar views on
environmental issues, these leaders are by far the worst predictors
of citizens' views. Professor Kamieniecki's systematic probing of
the determinants that make some officials more adept than others at
accurate calculation of public preference uncovers imbalanced
public representation due to several factors. He concludes with an
evaluation of citizen participatory mechanisms and consequent
recommendations designed to elicit a wide range of public opinion,
a prerequisite for acceptable environmental planning.
