  • Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections
    Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections By: Robert Wayne Priebe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation University of Alberta © Robert Wayne Priebe, 2019 Abstract Edmonton, Alberta, has a unique approach to public spaces that sees conjoined creation and development sharing of public spaces for the collective benefit of the community and stakeholders; this approach began 100 years ago. Green or open spaces, natural areas, the river valley, City of Edmonton and community recreation facilities, and public education facilities share common sites in a system of public spaces, hereafter called a “park system.” Rather than narrowly focus on government entities and technical processes this dissertation posits that parks decision-making occurs more broadly through dialogue and perspectives of social actors engaging with one another and how they impact each other’s perspectives, positions and decisions over time. This dissertation identifies and examines the interplay and relationships between the land use planning processes and community engaged park development, programming and maintenance activities and processes in Edmonton, using Strategic Relational Institutionalist and Historical Institutionalist perspectives. Categories of social actors involved in both institutions include elected officials, senior and frontline administrators, community nongovernmental organizations, school boards, community residents, developers, landowners, and consultants. Each of these actors has different levels of power and agency within administrative processes and within institutions themselves. This dissertation is an exploration of how land use and parks decision-making occurred over time.
