In the April 1994 edition of the Journal you published an interesting and well researched article by Merle Sowman entitled “Improving the Practice of Public Participation in Environmental Planning and Decisionmaking in South Africa”. While commending the whole tenure of the article and the clarity of analysis, I think that some comments on some practical problems of implementation may be pertinent. As a practitioner who has recently been involved with planning schemes in which many of the issues highlighted in the article were exposed, I can illustrate where some of the strategies suggested were effective and where others could not be satisfactorily exploited.
