Description
1. INTRODUCTION There are three major environmental policies, "prevention first and combination of prevention & control," "polluter pays," and "the enhancement of environmental management," namely, to lay the groundwork of the development of environmental protection, in China. According to these environmental policies, eight environmental management schemes were developed and promulgated to include different administrative objectives, control levels and managing methodologies in the integrated policy management infrastructure to form a unique environmental management system with vigorous, flexible and effective management mechanisms (LIU & ZHANG, 1994; YE, 2000; ZHANG, 1997;). Since 1990s, many new concepts of environmental management were gradually developed to advocate more economic means and to promote the cooperative relationship between government and enterprises. The idea of public participation in environmental management was then initiated and developed. For more than decade's effort, governments, experts and the public have been trying to establish feasible methodologies and system of public participation in environmental management to fulfill the needs of Chinese society. However, In China, no specific provisions and articles regarding public participation are explicitly regulated in any laws, regulations and other related decrees, except for the "Law of People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment" (hereinafter referred as "the EIA Law"), which was endorsed at the 30th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress on October 28, 2002, and became effective on September 1st, 2003. Ever since the EIA Law, activities of public participation were then clearly regulated in the "Provisional Measures on Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment," which was promulgated in February 2006 and became effective in March 2006.
