POLICY

Director's Order #75A:
Civic Engagement and Public Involvement


VIII. EVALUATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

To ensure that our public involvement activities and processes are achieving their intended results, we will develop evaluation tools and opportunities to receive feedback. Our strengths and capabilities within the parks, regions, and program offices will be brought to bear in evaluating the effectiveness of proposed and completed public involvement activities for the purpose of decision-making. Visitor comments and suggestions will be reviewed with the goal of improving park management. Attention will be focused in particular on those activities where it appears that controversy is not being addressed through proper application of this Director's Order. The planning and social science programs may also be called upon to design mechanisms to broadly assess public opinions and sentiments on park-specific or Service-wide issues.
