This paper emphasises significantly on public relations strategic planning in public participation to gain organisational effectiveness.  Grunig (1992) describes organisation's decision affects public and in turn the public affect the organisation's decision.  This paper discusses the Situational theory of publics (Grunig, 1992) and highlights communication programmes for public participation in the development of slope area in Bukit Antarabangsa, Selangor. This paper suggests a framework of public relations strategic planning for public participation in MPAJ based on findings obtained from multiple methods of data collection.
