Local Councils of Conservation Area
The Local Councils of Conservation Areas (COLAC) may be created by agreement of the Regional Conservation Area Council in those areas where technical and administrative complexity is demonstrated. They are an element contemplated within the Constitutive Act of the Regional Councils of Conservation Areas (CORAC) and its operation is specified in the regulations of each Regional Council. Likewise, once their constitution has been defined and justified, specific regulations should be drawn up detailing the type of functions they will carry out. The Local Council functions as a mechanism for conflict resolution and citizen participation in responsible environmental management, with the participation of organized local stakeholders.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
