Abstract: OLANO, WILFREDO GOMEZ. University of the Philippines at Los Banos, October, 1981. People Participation in Rural Development: Bicol Experience. Major Professor: Dr. Gella T. Castillo This study was conducted among 302 farmer-respondents and 92 members of the project management staff, both randomly selected from within the four on-going integrated area development projects in the Bicol river basin. Its main objective is to make an assessment of the local people's participation in the various stages of the management activities of Bicol !AD projects from the point of view of the members of the management staff and the project beneficiaries themselves.

This study was conducted among 302 farmer-respondents and 92 members of the project management staff, both randomly selected from within the four on-going integrated area development projects in the Bicol river basin. Its main objective is to make an assessment of the local people's participation in the various stages of the management activities of Bicol !AD projects from the point of view of the members of the management staff and the project beneficiaries themselves.

Data were gathered through personal interviews with the farmer-beneficiaries using semi-structured interview schedules and questionnaires for the members of the project management staff. Additional information were taken from available minutes of meetings, records of proceedings and the project papers of the four IAD projects.

Among the major findings of the study are the following:

(1) local people participation generally takes varied forms depending on (a) the stage of the IAD project management process at which participation was elicited; (b) the mechanism used to elicit local people participation; and (c) the nature of the !AD project activities where the rate of participation declines as the management activities progressed to the more technical stages; (2) selected socio-psychological and economic variables as (a) tenure status, (b) attendance in training activities, (c) membership in local based organizations; (d) value orientation of the respondents; (e) leader- ship style of the PMS members and the barangay officials; (f) perceived benefits from the projects and (g) availability of government assistance and other supportive services at the field level, signifi- cantly affect the active participation of people in the management of the 1AD projects; (3) satisfaction with the nature and extent of local people participation was positively related to (a) the number of training programs attended; (b) the leadership style of the PMS members; and (c) the perceived availability of government assistance and other supportive services and facilities at the project level; (4) there are Indications that the PMS members and the farmer-respondents share common values and attitudes about the concept of local people participation; and (5) certain problems and issues which the PMS members tended to view as coming from the beneficiaries but which the farmer-respondents perceived es arising from the side of the government agencies and some of their personnel hinder effective generation of local people participation in the management of the IAD projects; however, both groups of respondents perceived that something is being done by the government to resolve these problems.
