Abstract

In Political Science and Administration, public participation has been a topic of keen discussions around the world at the moment. However, there are no specific study on public participation especially in the Local Agenda 21 implemented by the Local Authorities (LAs) (Hardev, 2008, Mariana, 2008). For this purpose, the objective of this study is to investigate further public participation, particularly in the Penang which is focused on the two Local Authorities (LA), namely Penang City Council (MBPP) and Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP). The study employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods are employed to collect data by using semi-structured interviews with informant consisting of Officers in MBPP and MPSP, Councillors in MBPP and MPSP, and Municipal Secretaries from both MBPP and MPSP. However, quantitative data were obtained through a survey in which questionnaires were distributed to 4 of the Residents Associations namely; Association of Residents Penang Free School, Association of Residents Jelutong, Association of Residents of Taman Sri Kijang and Association of Residents Taman Pauh Jaya in MBPP and MPSP. The findings show the existence of in the LA 21 programmes organised by the two LAs in Penang. Encouragement and involvement of officials in MBPP and MPSP contributed to the success of public participation in the LA 21 programmes. In addition, the Resident Associations participations also contributed to the success of the LA 21 programmes. Therefore, public participation in LA 21 programmes are vital to ensure that the services provided by local Authorities (LAs) are important in order involved to obtain feedbacks on the programmes implemented that meet the needs of local communities.
