Although there is an increasing body of literature on the technical aspect of the sponge city, the governance aspect does not gain much attention from scholars. This research takes a governance perspective to focus on public participation and policy integration of the sponge city. A conceptual framework proposed in this research consists of two main components: a citizen perspective of public participation to understand citizens’ perceptions and potential motivations for participation as well as a framework to analyze policy integration, containing four dimensions – policy frame, subsystem involvement, policy goals, and policy instruments. Applying this conceptual framework to the case study of the sponge city program in Yibin can become a foundation to find feasible improving means for the implementation of sponge city. date: 2019 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: De Roo, G. keywords_local: governance keywords_local: sponge city keywords_local: stormwater management keywords_local: urban pluvial flooding keywords_local: public participation keywords_local: policy integration language_iso: en titleorder: Improving sustainable stormwater management from a governance perspective: a case study of the sponge city program in Yibin City, China dbi: 5d8b5152e3e10 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/EIP/2019/jpeng/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132455-5d8b5152e3e10.xml date_issued: 2019-01-01 citation: Peng, J.
