Rationale: Why is this case interesting?

Raghdan forest covers an area of 600,000 square meters in Al-Baha Province. Al- Baha City lies in the south-west of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Raghadan forest is one of more than forty reserved zones called (Hema) which is a traditional sustainable recourse management system. Tribal people live in this region and traditionally every tribe have their own (Hema) or reserved zone. Raghadan case is very interesting because the public participation in this project was enforced and very demanding. So, this is not the formal procedure of the local municipality to allow public participating in the planning process specially in this area, but this is very special case.
