The project of Estonian Environmental Law Center (EELC) „Model of participatory spatial planning in local municipalities of Tartu county” aims to create a model of participatory spatial planning in Tähtvere and Elva municipalities that are two municipalities in Tartu county.
In course of the project, lawyers of EELC together with a communication specialist monitor and advise municipalities and, in case of need, local non-governmental organisations in planning proceedings, thereby testing the recommendations for public participation in practice.
On basis of this, the model for participatory planning will be finalised, after introducing the draft version to both relevant municipalities and their NGOs. The final model will also be introduced more widely to public and other municipalities in rural areas, by public seminar and also media channels. This would give an opportunity for wider use of the model also in other municipalities.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Interior Affairs and the National Foundation of Civil Society and the whole budget is 11196,16 euros.
