Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the degree of citizen participation in urban planning processes in the municipality of Comala, Colima, Mexico to have a broader vision of the citizens and the environment in which they live. An instrument was designed specifically to perform this study and the instrument was validated by calculating Cronbach’s Alpha. The results showed that citizens were highly involved in issues concerning their urban environment, and the main problems of the public spaces were also identified.
