公众参与行政过程应当是一种实质性的参与,而不是一种形式、一种过场,或者只是获得一种心理安慰。参与的过程包括两个基本的方面,一是意志的沟通,二是利益的协调。其共同特征是“公”与“私”的协调,社会公众在行政过程中主体性地位的确立,使行政过程中不同法律主体之间的沟通和协调获得了有效的制度形式。 Public participation in the administrative process should be a substantive participation, not a form, a kind of cross-fertilization, or just a psychological comfort. Participation in the process includes two basic aspects, one is the communication of will, the second is the coordination of interests. Its common feature is the coordination between “public” and “private”. The establishment of the subjective status of the public in the administrative process has enabled the effective communication and coordination between different legal entities in the administrative process.
