This dissertation examines the potential of and constraints upon participatory planning in the context of an irrigation development project in the northwestern Philippines. The Ilocos Norte Irrigation Project (INIP) of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) used two different planning approaches: first, a standard, engineering-oriented method that gave little attention to participation and neglected existing communal irrigation systems called zanjeras, followed by a more participatory effort which involved the zanjeras. The analysis explores similarities and differences between the two approaches, covering both the strengths and the problems of participation, using descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis. Data are from field research conducted from July 1985 to August 1986 through two surveys, interviews and attendance at meetings. The study focuses on zanjera-NIA interactions from 1972, when the project was first discussed, to 1986, when it had completed four years of participatory planning. INIP's participatory approach was achieved through organizational changes in NIA, NIA-zanjera communication-facilitating workshops, and the inclusion of third-party researchers and academics to provide process documentation for NIA's decision-making. This resulted in more interaction between NIA and the zanjeras, with greater attention being paid, in the process of project design, to the latter's physical and organizational structures, and to their special development needs. On the contra side, the participatory approach was resisted by some INIP staff because it was felt to be too time-consuming, and because it would increase the complexity of project tasks, raise project costs, expand staff accountability, and change the status quo of planning methods. Acceptance of the participatory way was also made more difficult by the fact that the process of conversion was itself non-participatory. NIA administrators mandated the change, and few operating guidelines were created for INIP's engineering staff to use as procedures for participatory activities. Likewise, evaluative measures also continued to be conceived in physical and not institutional terms. All in all, the midstream change to participatory planning was difficult and inconclusive because existing structures, processes, procedures and people worked against it.Subjects--Topical Terms:
