Traditional public participation in resource management planning and decision making processes in British Columbia has often resulted in little or no public influence in the process, or over the decisions made. The case study of the Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board explores how public input through this public body was conceptualized and incorporated into the Bulkley Land and Resource Management Plan process. The thesis explores the linkages between public participation, community conflict, community organization, and community power. Community support and community representation are central to the Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board's influence in the development of the Bulkley Land and Resource Management...

Landscape Scale Conservation: British Columbia
Planners in British Columbia must adapt to climate change by preparing for expected and unexpected changes in their communities. The results of survey and workshop research conducted at the Planning Institute of BC conference indicate that planners do not have a high level of knowledge of climate change adaptation. Planners feel that the impacts that will affect BC the most in 50 years will be related to forests, agriculture, river flooding, transportation and water. Different regions in the province will be affected in different ways, and adaptation strategies must be created for the specific needs and attributes of a community. Open-structured workshops are a good method to educate planners about climate change...
Purpose This project explores how public input was conceptualised and incorporated into the Bulkley Land and Resource Management Plan (Bulkley LRMP) process with the purpose to analyse the level of input that was achieved. Research Objectives This purpose will be realised through: 1 Identifying past public participation in resource management processes in the Bulkley Valley and contrasting their level of input with the Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board (BVCRB; the Board); 2 Illustrating how the BVCRB was established; 3 Determining how the members of the Board were selected and whether they represent the public of the Bulkley Forest District (BFD); 4 Explaining the role the Board played in developing the Bulkley...

Landscape Scale Conservation: British Columbia
This study examines the wind energy planning frameworks from ten North American jurisdictions, drawing important lessons that British Columbia could use to build on its current model which has been criticized for its limited scope and restriction of local government powers. This study contributes to similar studies conducted by Kimrey (2006), Longston (2006), and Eriksen (2009). This study concludes that inclusion of wind resource zones delineated through strategic environmental assessment, programme assessment, and conducting research-oriented studies could improve the current British Columbia planning framework. The framework should also strengthen its bat impact assessment practices and incorporate habitat compensation....
