Richard Hofferbert's recently developed multivariate (six-stage) model of the public policy process (The Study of Public Policy, Indianapolis, Ind: Bobbs-Merrill, 1974) is applied to a specific policy area: environmental protection & land use regulation by the California Coastal Commissions. The results suggest the general usefulness of the model in guiding both conceptual thinking & data analysis. Areas are noted where refinement & greater specificity of the model are needed. 3 Tables, 1 Figure. Modified HA.
