Differing perceptions and the resulting uncertainty of public policy: An examination of the Clean Water Act's Section 404 Regulatory Program

A principal planning function is to formulate and implement policies which are designed to ameliorate perceived societal problems. Much of the planning literature therefore centers on the preparation of comprehensive plans or the formulation of public policy. Despite this attention, plans and policies fail. According to a growing number of researchers, these failures can be attributed to a reliance on the rational method, a tradition within the social sciences. Some critics of the rational method recommend that new methods be employed.
