Participation of the  vulnerable IAAPs in the PPP is affected by complex  challenges. This study investigated the nature  and impact of the challenges in the decision making  process.    Five key challenges: lack of EA legislation  awareness; imbalanced power relations; negative past  experience; threat to environmental autonomy; and  poor project planning affected the PPP cases  were analysed in this study. These challenges  emanate from internal and external environmental  factors. The study maintains that a good  understanding of potential challenges associated  with development project sites will enable EAPs to  design better and more responsive PPP approaches. To  achieve this, the study recommends a Dual Approach  Planning Model (DAPM). This approach recommends  designing the PPP through pre-planning information  appraisal and prediction of potential challenges to  create awareness about potential challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844396683\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding Environmental Assessment and Public Participation Process Challenges Among the  Vulnerable Interested and Affected Parties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844396683","offer_id":39497192112221,"sku":"9783844396683","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f90097dd-057f-4a59-be6e-b0e7c183bc6b.jpg?v=1757911489","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/public-participation-von-isaiah-mahlolani-mahlangu","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
