  • Contents in English : Since its rise to prominence in the design and planning fields in the early to mid-1960s, citizen participation processes and the contents within which they occur have experienced an evolution that has impacted significantly both the practice of participation and the final results emanating from these processes. Over the last twenty years, several different methodologies have been crafted, each describing how groups of various sizes and constituencies could use participatory process to address any number of issues and/or problems. This paper identifies several critical issues to consider when utilizing participatory techniques in larger geographical and less densely populated contexts. It then uses two case studies in the state of Oregon to illustrate these issues and to lead into a discussion of how participation at the landscape scale could and should evolve in the future.
