Abstract: Participation in spatial planning across Europe shows disparity between its legislative requirements and implementation, which is usually confined to practices that are devoid of influence in the decision-making process. This research tries to deconstruct the role of participation in the creation of a spatial plan for Nature Park Medvednica - Croatian nationally protected forest area and a Natura 2000 site. As the spatial planning process lasted for more than thirty years, this historical perspective allows for an assessment of the participation practices with respect to changing socio-political factors.
