As an architect, I like frameworks, and this one is no exception.
Factor affecting participation | How it works | Associated policy target |
---|---|---|
Can do | The individual resources that people have to mobilize and organize (speaking, writing and technical skills, as well as confidence to use them) make a difference in their capacity to participate | Capacity building: specific support measures or targeted development |
Like to | To commit to participation requires a sense of involvement with the public entity that is the focus of engagement | Sense of community, civic engagement, social capital and citizenship |
Enabled to | The civic infrastructure of groups and umbrella organizations makes a difference because it creates or blocs an opportunity structure for participation | To build the civic infrastructure so that there are groups and organizations around to channel and facilitate participation |
Asked to | Mobilizing people into participation by asking for their input can make a big difference | Public participation schemes that are diverse, engaging and reflexive |
Responded to | When asked people say they will participate if they are listened to, not necessarily agreed with, but able to see a response | A public policy system that can show a capacity to respond |
