Özet
An evaluation of reasons for the failure to realize design objectives in a development project with a dual purpose of conserving the environment and generating income. The consequences of a lack of appropriate interaction during the design and implementation stages of the project are documented. Drawing on development and participation literature, the author suggests that a critical-ethical perspective can alert development actors to the technical, political, and ethical dimensions of their ideas and actions. This perspective considers a micro case in a holistic view that is sensitive to the underlying assumptions, content, and practice of such concepts as democracy, participation, capacity building, local governance, and sustainability.
