Abstract:Citizen involvement in environmental policy setting is important for insuring policy viability. However, traditional public meetings are criticized for being an ineffective means of conveying information, especially for complex policy issues such as watershed management. An interactive technology-based approach to public meetings provides a promising alternative. This pilot study compares knowledge, commitment and satisfaction levels of two groups of participants at a watershed meeting: one group attended a traditional meeting format and the other attended a technology-based format. Group survey results show technology-based participants report a higher level of meeting satisfaction and a stronger influence of the meeting on watershed attitudes. Comparisons of knowledge and commitment levels may require a multiple meeting format to highlight group differences.
