Literature on public participation focuses heavily on collaboration and on the ways in which decision-makers design and implement participatory processes. The practical participation design tools used by practitioners focus entirely on the role of the convener. In this dissertation, I use case study data, collected through participatory research, to demonstrate that the public participants' role, and the context within which it is formed, can be critical drivers of participatory processes as they unfold. I developed a conceptual model of the participatory process from the participant's perspective to illustrate the impacts of the public participants' adoption of a particular role on the participatory process. In the conceptual model I divided the participants' roles into four possibilities: watchdogging, collaboration, legitimization, and nonparticipation. A lack of trust in the official decision-makers can influence the public's adoption of a watchdog role and affect their use of the tools and data available to them. Included in these tools are geographic information systems, whose potential power to enable data visualization, analysis and the generation of additional data is undeniable. In a context of mistrust, the geospatial data itself can become part of a power struggle, and may be used in abstract ways designed to leverage power thereby supplanting the usefulness of the geographic information system (GIS) as a geospatial problem-solving tool. A better understanding of the public's adopted roles in participatory processes calls for an acknowledgement of the importance of the watchdog role, and requires more research and practical attention than it currently receives given the prioritization of collaborative participatory processes over all other types of participatory process.
