Повний текст джерелаDesde o final dos anos 80, quando o orçamento participativo foi inventado em Porto Alegre, o número de governos locais que adotaram o procedimento continua em crescimento. Paralelamente tem-se verificado uma afirmação progressiva da democracia deliberativa, a qual possui tensões conceptuais e normativas com o modelo da democracia participativa, da qual o orçamento participativo é um instrumento de sucesso. É importante adaptar a qualidade deliberativa dos processos participativos com vista a revitalizar potencial democrático do orçamento participativo. Nesta perspetiva, o objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é identificar que elementos da democracia deliberativa estão presentes no modelo de orçamento participativo em Tartu, na Estónia. Esta dissertação começará por descrever os conceitos de democracia participativa e deliberativa, prosseguindo com uma descrição sobre o surgimento do orçamento participativo e fornecendo uma visão geral das tipologias existentes na Europa. Avança-se, depois, para a abordagem analítica e metodológica deste estudo e, finalmente, antes de analisar os dados empíricos, é apresentado o contexto da democracia na Estónia e o caso do orçamento participativo em Tartu. O estudo de caso centrou-se no processo de orçamento participativo na Cidade de Tartu, Estónia, no ano de 2015. A recolha de dados empíricos no terreno verificou-se em julho de 2016. O estudo incluiu análise documental e entrevistas a eleitores, autores ou proponentes de uma ideia para o orçamento participativo e ao gestor de projeto esta iniciativa da autarquia da Cidade de Tartu. Este estudo mostra que o orçamento participativo é um instrumento da democracia participativa e que, além disso, que detém elementos de democracia deliberativa, tais como: o debate, dado que o processo de orçamento participativo instou alguns dos eleitores a debater as propostas tanto em espaços formais como informais; o poder educativo foi evidenciado não só através da participação, mas também dos próprios debates; a existência de procedimentos para o debate formal através da facilitação de um moderador; o sentimento de empoderamento resultante da perceção de que as pessoas podem ter uma palavra a dizer, usarem o seu poder, e mesmo a ideia de que a participação inspira as pessoas a serem mais ativas como cidadãs. Os resultados apoiam, até certo ponto, a tese de que o modelo de orçamento participativo em Tartu reforça a capacitação da comunidade e dos cidadãos. Tal acontece quer em virtude da prática dos autores de ideias de divulgação dos seus projetos, quer em virtude da familiarização dos eleitores com os projetos, os quais podem instruí-los relativamente às questões no seu bairro e na cidade em geral.

This client-based thesis analyzes Participatory Budgeting processes in two cities to help guide the institutional design of Boston Ujima Project's participatory allocation process. Grassroots-led organization Boston Ujima Project is developing a democratically-governed Capital Fund by integrating community participation in deliberation and decision-making at various stages of the investment process. Broadly speaking, the three democratic dimensions of the Fund are those that ensure meaningful participation by low-income communities of color most impacted by the investments, safeguard accountability to those communities, and integrate relevant forms of expertise, including residents' expertise, throughout the decision-making process. Drawing from case studies of Participatory Budgeting in Porto Alegre and New York City, this paper provides conceptual frameworks and recommendations for the institutional design of Ujima's participatory allocation process.

Повний текст джерелаSedan början av 2000-talet har staden Paris startat flera grönskande initiativ med syfte attbland annat återinföra naturen i staden och stärka dess gröna infrastruktur (GI). Med kommunens stöd deltar medborgarna aktivt i denna omvandling, till exempel genom att återaktivera och gemensamt sköta tidigare ödemarker, få gatorna att blomma, täcka väggar och tak med växter och skapa nya mikroekosystem. Men vad är deras inverkan? Medborgare som deltar i utvalda deltagande initiativ längs den lokala GI har utfrågats och intervjuats för att ta reda på mer om sina projekt. Medborgare - antingen ensamma, i små grupper, organiserade i lokala föreningar, nystartade företag eller företag - agerar av olika skäl och känner inte alltid till begreppet grön infrastruktur. De som svarar på frågeformuläret värderar först sitt projekt eftersom det förbättrar deras livsmiljö, men också för att det underlättar återanslutning med naturen och främjar biologisk mångfald. Men deras handlingar samordnas inte för att effektivt stärka GI, eller delar av det. Med andra ord, människor som grönar projekt sprids överallt och inte särskilt där de behövs mest. Genom översynen av lokala planerings- och policydokument, samt intervjuer med nyckelaktörer, belyser detta arbete också motsägelser mellan GI-definition, strategier, kartor och betydelser. Vissa rekommendationer tillhandahålls för att utöka dagens ekologiska och offentliga GI till en verifierbar multifunktionell GI genom multidisciplinära och deltagande strategier.
Depuis le début des années 2000, la ville de Paris a lancé plusieurs initiatives de végétalisation pour réintroduire la nature dans la ville et renforcer ses trames vertes et bleues (TVB). Avec le soutien de la municipalité, les citoyens participent activement à cette transformation, par exemple en réactivant et en gérant d’anciennes friches, en faisant fleurir les rues, en recouvrant les murs et les toits de végétaux et en créant de nouveaux microécosystèmes. Mais quel est leur impact ? Les citoyens engagés dans des initiatives participatives sélectionnées le long de la TVB locale ont été interrogés et interviewés pour en savoir plus sur leurs projets. Les citoyens - seuls, en petits groupes, organisés en associations locales, start-up ou entreprises - agissent pour des raisons différentes et ne connaissent pas toujours le concept de TVB. Les répondants au questionnaire valorisent d’abord leur projet parce qu’il améliore leur cadre de vie, mais aussi parce qu’il facilite la reconnexion avec la nature et favorise la biodiversité. Cependant, leurs actions ne sont pas coordonnées pour renforcer efficacement les TVB. En d’autres termes, les projets de végétalisation des citoyens se répandent partout et pas particulièrement là où ils sont les plus nécessaires. À travers l’analyse des documents de planification locaux, ainsi que des entretiens avec des acteurs clés, ce travail met également en évidence les contradictions entre la définition, les stratégies, les cartes et les significations des TVB. Quelques recommandations sont formulées pour faire de la TVB écologique et publique d’aujourd’hui une véritable TVB multifonctionnelle à travers des approches multidisciplinaires et participatives.

Повний текст джерелаA tese Estratégias para a preservação da integridade patrimonial Cidade Velha, Cabo Verde: a diversidade como elemento estruturante de uma arquitetura contemporânea pretende ser uma reflexão sobre o património arquitetónico da primeira cidade europeia nos trópicos e uma abordagem prática para uma nova matriz de planeamento, reabilitação e construção. A Cidade Velha é Património Mundial da Humanidade e está num processo de transformação. No entanto, a preservação do património edificado, embora constitua um potencial fator de crescimento e bem-estar da comunidade, não se tem revelado o vetor prioritário desse crescimento. A ideia de que a preservação da cidade deve ser pensada em primeiro lugar para a sua comunidade e depois para quem a visita, é cuidadosamente equacionada na proposta apresentada, de formar a salvaguardar a imagem da cidade, alargando o espectro do projeto à reabilitação, ao planeamento dos espaços públicos, e à nova construção contemporânea. A importância de preservar o património local, a par dos problemas que enfrenta no seu desenvolvimento urbano e social, dita a necessidade de encontrar uma solução, enquadrada na realidade cabo-verdiana e do seu centro histórico, de caracter participativo, mostrando que é possível acrescer ao património novas possibilidades conferindo-lhe maiores vantagens para a comunidade local e para a economia do país.
ABSTRACT: Preservation strategies for the patrimonial integrity. Cidade Velha, Cabo Verde: diversity as a structuring element of a contemporary architecture thesis aims to be a reflection on the architectural heritage of the first European city in the tropics and a practical approach to a new rehabilitation, construction and planning matrix. Cidade Velha is a World Heritage Site that has been in an ongoing change process, but where the rehabilitation of the vernacular heritage, although its potential as a factor of growth and community well-being, has not been considered as a priority. The idea that city’s preservation should be conceived in first place for its community and then for those who visit it is carefully considered in the proposal presented, to safeguard the image of the city, by widening the spectrum of the project to rehabilitation, public spaces planning, and to the new contemporary construction. The importance of preserving local heritage, along with all the problems it faces in its urban and social development, dictates the need to find solutions, adapted to the cape-verdean reality and its historical center specificities, by means of using public participation and showing that it is possible to add to the heritage, new possibilities with greater advantages for the local community and for the economy of the country.

Many sustainable garments do not engage wide consumer interest, nor encourage eco-conscious purchasing. Meanwhile, mass consumption of unsustainable apparel contributes to environmental degradation (Black, 2008). However, Niinimäki (2010) suggests that engaging consumers in the design and development of environmentally sustainable products could improve the balance between environmental design decisions and functional, aesthetic, and emotional qualities (Lamb & Kallal, 1992). The purpose of this practice-based research was to (a) identify apparel and environmental attitudes and consumption behaviors of potential sustainable apparel consumers, (b) generate sustainable apparel design concept and product through use of participatory design methods, and (c) evaluate the sustainable concept, product, and participatory method. The sample was 10 female university students. Consumer data was collected through an online (i.e., Facebook) ethnographic journal and a focus group. Qualitative analysis generated the target market’s ideal apparel characteristics and ideal environmental apparel characteristics as apparel offering versatility and variety within their existing wardrobes; elements expressive of their personalities; simple and inexpensive maintenance; organic or recycled materials; and less textile waste at disposal. Additionally, it was determined that participants had low knowledge of the apparel and textile industry and its environmental impacts. Generation of sustainable apparel design ideas occurred through a second focus group session. Analysis of the focus group data, combined with the researcher’s tacit sustainable design knowledge, formed a design concept. The sustainable apparel design concept was comprised of three characteristics reflective of the target market’s ideals and design suggestions: be versatile through various temperatures; social settings, and environments; be convertible through temporary adjustment of functional and aesthetic elements; and be transitional allowing the garment to be layered for greater thermal insulation without detracting from the appearance. The sustainable apparel concept was an application of the pre-existing Design for User Interaction sustainable design strategy. The sustainable apparel design concept was then applied to the development of an outerwear garment and presented to the participants and mentors as a digital sketch. The design addressed the sustainable design concept through interchangeable envelope-style shell layers, an insertable thermal core layer, a buttoned closure at the hemline and interconnecting button points for added alignment between layers. In this garment, the researcher applied participants’ suggestions of style, materials, and inclusion of a core layer. Following sketch refinement, two prototypes were constructed. The first prototype consisted of a thermal core layer and outer coat layer. Due to challenges with the core layer fabric, the second prototype modified the core layer material and style. Additionally, in the second prototype, the shell was made sleeveless and both a bolero style jacket and lining were added. Dual button fasteners connected the layers. During the third focus group session, participants evaluated the design concept, second garment prototype, and the participatory design methods. Participants noted that the design concept provided increased ease of garment care (which could potentially increase the frequency of laundering); ease of garment storage; and increased versatility through varying temperatures. Participants’ suggestions for prototype refinement included the addition of a kick-pleat and reduction of button alignment points. Prototype development did not reach completion during this study. Further refinement of the garment’s pattern and fit, implementation of additional aesthetic/functional elements, and development of an intuitive transformation are necessary. Participant evaluation of participatory methods and study participation were the use of Facebook as an online ethnographic journal made daily participation easy and allowed the researcher to become familiar with their personalities, increasing their comfort at later stages of the research. Participants felt their suggestions were evident in the garment prototype and were as involved as their experience and knowledge allowed. The only participant suggestion regarding the participatory design experience was the addition of updates informing participants of the design progress between focus group sessions. Though the concept and resulting garment were not exceedingly original, participants were pleased with the fruition of their ideas. This finding indicates a willingness to participate in the design process, supportive of participatory design.

Recycling in many cities faces dilemmas with accessibility and education, especially within the public realm, which leads to a lack of participation in this sustainable activity. The City of Kansas City, Missouri does not currently provide recycling solutions for multi-family and commercial businesses and has minimal to non-existent recycling infrastructure within its downtown’s public realm. Envisioning a new recycling system for a city requires many entities to come together in the design process. However, the city, landscape architects, and other designers frequently overlook incorporating children into the participatory community design process, even though children have knowledge, experiences, and ideas to offer (Speak, 2000). Incorporating many avenues of community input can benefit the design outcomes, and children should be included in the participatory design process when it engages their built environment. The Kansas City Design Center (KCDC) produced a vision plan and conceptual site designs for downtown Kansas City’s recycling system. Community input was part of the KCDC studio project’s design process by utilizing a series of advisory council meetings, professional reviews, and open houses. This report integrated another form of community involvement into the project by working with children on designing urban space and playful infrastructure focused on encouraging participation in recycling. A series of design charrettes were conducted with 5th grade students from Kansas City’s urban charter school Crossroads Academy due to the school’s focus on immersion in the urban environment. The students’ design charrette ideas added a new perspective to how urban space and recycling infrastructure could encourage participation. These ideas and perspectives were shared with classmates and utilized to further design development in the recycling project's streetscape "Links" strategy. As the project developed, the researcher observed how the children's ideas impacted the "Links" strategy design coming through in playful ground plane designs, interactive elements, concepts of place-making, and considerations for a variety of users. The participatory process with the children was most influential on those involved directly with the children's process. This allowed the children's ideas to become inherent base knowledge when designing. Engaging youth’s imaginative minds in the design process for urban space and recycling infrastructure sparked new playful perspectives on how to encourage participation and led to meaningful recycling design outcomes within the public realm.

There is currently a dearth of planning literature concerning participatory processes relative to children, particularly in the planning and design of schoolyard or playground spaces. Through a local, place-based, participatory approach emphasizing local knowledge and active listening, this master's report seeks to confirm the value of children in the planning and design of a schoolyard space. The study took place at the Northview Elementary School in Manhattan, KS comprising students as primary stakeholders, teachers/administrative staff as secondary stakeholders and parents as tertiary stakeholders. Additionally, the study employed Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s childhood cognitive development theories and five operational play categories in guiding the development of a learning landscape design aimed at supporting and maximizing cognitive development, physical activity and recreation. The report concludes with a set of five (5) recommendations designed to equip prospective researchers in undertaking participatory processes within school settings. The implication of this study is that sustained stakeholder engagement during planning and design processes of schoolyards will result in spaces reflective of the target audience.

Il primo saggio è una revisione della letteratura sulle pratiche partecipative e di Gestione Integrata delle Risorse Idriche (IWRM), nello specifico ambito della Repubblica federale del Brasile, scelto come caso di studi per la sua legislazione moderna sulla gestione delle acque, che abbraccia i pradigmi di IWRM. Il saggio presenta il sistema istituzionale e legislativo brasiliano, analizza come i diversi approcci partecipativi sono stati applicati in alcuni Stati del Paese, sottolineando le criticità che ostacolano un efficace sviluppo delle pratiche partecipative nella gestione dell'acquea. Il secondo saggio presenta una proposta metodologica per migliorare l'efficacia delle interazioni tra la comunità scientifica e gli attori locali nei processi decisionali nella gestione delle acque. Il lavoro é stato sviluppato in due casi di studio, in Europa e in Asia: i bacini idrografici del alto Danubio e dell'alto Brahmaputra. Lo studio si avvale dell'utilizzo di strumenti di supporto decisionale e di analisi muliti-criterial per facilitare una gestione solida e trasparente delle informazioni e individuare le priorità e le possibili soluzioni con una prospettiva integrata. Il terzo saggio si concentra sullo studio del processo partecipativo finalizzato a supportare la ricerca scientifica multi-disciplinare, ed analiza l'utilizzo di un metodo semi quantitativo per struttuare le mappe cognitive di un gruppo di esperti. La ricerca si avvale dello strumento di Mappe Cognitive Fuzzy, come quadro intermedio verso l'attuazione della modellizzazione degli ecosistemi, applicata alla valutazione del flusso idrico di un fiume. L'applicazione è testata per il basso bacino del fiume Paraguaçu e la baia di Iguape (Bahia, Brasile).

Повний текст джерелаParticipation has become a crucial aspect for development and development aid thus it ensures empowerment and appropriate gain for the stakeholders. Participation is important especially for managing natural resources like water but the participatory approach is not always satisfying. This Minor field study has looked at two different projects participation from the stakeholders view and tried to answer what the stakeholders gain is for from participatory projects. This is done by interviewing the initiators of the projects and the villagers involved in it. The interviews showed a difference between the projects where the local development project had a more constant participation from start to finish while the research project stationed in Sweden had participation at times and in a different way. The study showed that more efforts need to be done to define participation thus it is now used in many different ways. There is also a need for improved documentation on the participatory process to assure participation and improve the procedures.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa is experiencing a number of challenges, which have led to developmental backlogs, housing shortages and growing informal areas. At the same time, the country is also experiencing sustainability problems, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and resource shortages. Strategies to address these challenges do not always provide adequate space for participatory structures as suggested by Local Agenda 21. Social sustainability (the ability of communities to collaborate in order to promote sustainability) is a fundamental component of sustainable development. An essential ingredient of social sustainability is to maintain and develop the stock of social capital (social bonds, relationships of trust, and connectedness in groups and networks). The existence of conflict and distrust in communities therefore makes cooperation for development and sustainability very difficult. The purpose of this study was to examine and evaluate a specific case study, namely the Witsand Integrated Energy Environment Empowerment Cost Optimisation (iEEECO) Human Settlement Project, situated near Atlantis within the City of Cape Town, with regard to lessons about the process towards sustainable human settlements and sustainability. This case study was chosen because it is a so-called People’s Housing Project that has also been developed as an ecological sustainable project. The study specifically aimed to establish whether and how participation was implemented as part of this project and how effective this had been in promoting social sustainability, since it had also been a conflict-ridden project. The case study methodology was used where interviews, direct observation and focus groups sessions were conducted. Finally, the study reports on the findings and formulates recommendations based on the case study on some of the ways to improve sustainability. The process of learning about this community was like unpeeling an onion, that started with the impression of a successful sustainable human settlement, but ended up with the knowledge that it is a project, which despite more than usual efforts made to implement sustainability principles and participation, remains conflict ridden and fragmented. The community is presently represented by two community organisations (of which one does not support sustainability principles). It also seems as if few community members felt that they had really been involved in the participation process, with many relegated to make up numbers in meetings, with no real involvement in the process. The level of illiteracy within the community is high and rumours abound, which at one stage led to houses of community leaders, as well as field workers employed by the municipality to monitor extension of shacks, being stoned and burnt. Municipal policies to use local people as gate-keepers to keep informal areas from growing are contributing to these problems. Changes in housing policies regarding contributory payments are also adding to conflict within the community, which adds fuel to rumours of corruption. In the context of a shortage of space where people can legally build their own shacks, a shortage of public facilities like schools and clinics, as well as employment opportunities, this project cannot yet be regarded as an integrated sustainable human settlement.The lessons that this case study teaches us is about the path towards sustainability, is that it is a complex process, which requires a bigger focus on social sustainability and on conflict transformation. Social sustainability requires more and better participation and transparency in policy-making, as well as changes in policies to promote more fairness, justice, and the building of social capital. Co-production, where state and citizens work together to provide basic services, has much to offer as a method of participation, especially if initiated and run by grassroots organisations.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika beleef 'n aantal uitdagings, wat gelei het tot ontwikkelingsagterstande, behuisingstekorte en groeiende informele gebiede. Terselfdertyd ondervind die land ook volhoubaarheidsprobleme, soos klimaatverandering, die verlies aan biodiversiteit en hulpbron-tekorte. Strategieë om hierdie uitdagings aan te spreek, laat nie altyd voldoende ruimte vir deelnemende strukture soos voorgestel deur Plaaslike Agenda 21 nie. Sosiale volhoubaarheid (die vermoeë van gemeenskappe om saam te werk ten einde volhoubaarheid te bevorder) is 'n fundamentele komponent van volhoubare ontwikkeling. 'n Noodsaaklike bestanddeel van sosiale volhoubaarheid is om die voorraad van sosiale kapitaal (sosiale gom, verhoudings van vertroue, en verbondenheid in groepe en netwerke) in stand te hou en te ontwikkel. Die bestaan van konflik en wantroue in gemeenskappe maak dus samewerking vir ontwikkeling en volhoubaarheid baie moeilik. Die doel van hierdie studie was om 'n spesifieke gevallestudie te ondersoek en te evalueer, naamlik die Witsand Geïntegreerde Energie en Omgewing Bemagtiging Koste Optimisering (iEEECO) Menslike Nedersetting Projek, naby Atlantis binne die Stad Kaapstad, met betrekking tot lesse oor die proses na volhoubare menslike nedersettings en volhoubaarheid. Hierdie gevallestudie is gekies omdat dit is 'n sogenaamde gemeenskapsbehuisingprojek (People's Housing Project) is, wat ook as 'n ekologiese volhoubare projek ontwikkel is. Die studie is spesifiek daarop gemik om vas te stel of en hoe deelname as deel van hierdie projek geïmplementeer is en hoe effektief dit was om sosiale volhoubaarheid te bevorder of nie, aangesien dit ook 'n konflik-geteisterde projek was. Die gevallestudie metodologie is gebruik, waar onderhoude, direkte waarneming en fokusgroep sessies onderneem is. Ten slotte doen die studie verslag oor die bevindings en formuleer aanbevelings oor hierdie gevalle studie ten opsigte van metodes hoe om deelname te verbeter om volhoubaarheid te bevorder. Die proses van leer oor hierdie gemeenskap was soos om 'n ui af te skil, wat begin het met die indruk van 'n suksesvolle volhoubare menslike nedersetting, maar geëindig het met die wete dat dit 'n projek is, wat ten spyte van meer as die gewone pogings om volhoubaarheidsbeginsels en deelname te implementeer, deur konflik en fragmentasie gepla is. Dit word verteenwoordig deur twee gemeenskapsorganisasies (waarvan een nie volhoubaarheid beginsels ondersteun nie). Dit blyk ook asof min gemeenskapslede regtig voel dat hulle in die deelname proses betrokke was, met baie wat voel dat hulle gerelegeer was tot getalle by vergaderings, sonder regtige betrokkenheid in die proses Die vlak van ongeletterdheid in die gemeenskap is hoog en gerugte doen die ronde, wat op een stadium gelei het tot die steniging en verbrand van huise van gemeenskap leiers, sowel as veldwerkers wat deur die munisipaliteit aangestel is om die uitbreiding van plakkershutte te monitor. Dit blyk dat die munisipale beleid om plaaslike mense te gebruik as poort-wagte om die groei van informele gebiede te keer, bydra tot hierdie probleme. Veranderinge in behuising beleid ten opsigte van bydraende betalings dra ook by tot konflik binne die gemeenskap, wat gerugte van korrupsie aanvuur. In die konteks van 'n tekort aan ruimte waar mense wettiglik hul eie informele huise kan bou, 'n tekort aan openbare fasiliteite soos skole en klinieke, asook werksgeleenthede, kan hierdie projek nog nie beskou word as 'n geïntegreerde volhoubare menslike nedersetting nie. Die lesse wat hierdie gevallestudie ons kan leer oor die roete na volhoubaarheid, is dat dit 'n komplekse proses is, wat 'n groter fokus op sosiale volhoubaarheid en konflik transformasie vereis. Sosiale volhoubaarheid vereis meer en beter deelname en deursigtigheid in die maak van beleid, sowel as veranderinge in beleide om meer regverdigheid en geregtigheid te bevorder, asook die uitbou van sosiale kapitaal. Ko-produksie, waar staat en burgers saam werk om basiese dienste te lewer, het baie om te bied as 'n metode van deelname, veral as dit geïnisieer en gelei word deur voetsoolvlak organisasies.

Повний текст джерелаProblem: Maternal mortality in Ethiopia remains high, with 676 women dying per 100,000 live births. Infant mortality (68 deaths per 1,000 live births) is also high. The Ethiopian Government has committed significant resources to improving these outcomes, including training and deploying health extension workers (HEWs) to every community. The "What it Takes to Reach the Last 10 Kilometers" (L10K) project assists the government in increasing the reach of HEWs and improving the quality of the services. One L10K intervention is Participatory Community Quality Improvement (PCQI), in which the community and health workers are involved in defining and improving health service quality. This dissertation addresses three PCQI-related research questions: 1) What aspects of PCQI are working, and what implementation changes are recommended, 2) does PCQI improve service quality at rural health posts, and 3) does PCQI improve utilization of key maternal and neonatal health services? Methods: Mixed methods were used to answer the research questions. Key informant interviews were conducted with PCQI stakeholders, including health workers and administrators, and community members. Health facility assessments (HFAs) were conducted in 16 health facilities where PCQI was implemented prior to the start of PCQI, and again after one year of implementation. Service utilization data on key maternal and neonatal health indicators were collected from the same facilities for the 12 months preand post-implementation of PCQI. Interview data were analyzed for emerging themes, while service utilization and HFA data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests and run charts. Results: Interviewees reported that PCQI increased awareness of and access to health services (66% of interviews); empowered communities to take ownership of health and health care issues (60%); promoted more respectful care of patients (40%); and improved HEWs' skills and confidence (19%). Challenges and recommendations included increasing technical support for HEWs (64%); further integrating PCQI into existing government systems (49%); and mitigating resource shortages (47%) and the turn-over of PCQI facilitators (38%). The number of women delivering with a HEW increased post intervention (p=.048). Conclusions: Involving communities and health workers in quality improvement can help increase respectful care and community empowerment, as well as increasing deliveries with health workers.

Kansas City has the opportunity to expand its recycling programs and infrastructure through a participatory design process conducted at the Kansas City Design Center (KCDC). Because participatory design techniques can allow researchers to include members of the community in the planning process, project outcomes can generally be more successful. In the example of the recycling and composting project led by students at the KCDC, an advisory committee made of professionals and members of the community represented many stakeholder interests. Because of the wide array of feedback from the community, the process of design for the studio was not linear, but rather, it transformed over a period of research, design, further research, and redesign. The students first approached local recycling issues within the scope of a document written for grant funding. However as students responded to feedback from the advisory committee, the final proposals were altered to better address truer community needs. Other aspects for how to communicate and respond to critical feedback was also realized. This report aims to discover how participatory design aided this project and made its outcomes and delivery more agreeable to the larger population.

Participatory planning and the redevelopment of brownfield locations have both figured prominently in urban and regional planning strategies in recent decades. Despite their growing importance, these trends have rarely been analysed in concert however. Further, the issues of social and income diversity within this context have received less attention. In recognizing this void, this paper explores the use of participatory planning in brownfield developments, with an emphasis on social and income diversity. Through a review of the participatory planning theories of communicative action and the just city, strategies for promoting participatory planning and social and income diversity, are identified. A case study of Norra Djurgårdsstaden, a brownfield development in Stockholm, Sweden is employed to analyse these strategies. In undertaking the case study, data was collected through interviews and planning documents. This study found that the inherently high cost of redeveloping brownfield locations inhibits social and income diversity and requires an overt response to mitigate it. Participatory planning offers the possibility of engaging stakeholders who may otherwise be ignored, providing the opportunity to create a more inclusive development. It is also clear that an inclusionary goal must be part of a wider strategy, or is otherwise likely to be ignored.

Повний текст джерелаThis exploratory and descriptive research intended to examine ways to engage a vulnerable young adult population in environmental and ecological education and in community planning and public participation processes. A goal was to understand how to be more inclusive in the decision-making process at the community level based on ethical principles prescribed within the practice of equity planning and environmental and social justice. Merging the methodologies of applied action learning and action research, nested case studies were developed. Three cases within environmental and ecological education encompassed community gardening, horticultural therapy, and community mapping. The three cases within community planning and participatory processes included participating in a general plan or comprehensive plan update, a federal public hearing, and applying to sit on a federal agency working group. This research found ways to invite uniquely abled people into public participation processes through adaptive surveys, novel meeting places, and engagement opportunities. A nexus exists between environmental education and understanding community such that vulnerable participants are able to become involved in public processes and participate at a level that demonstrates their ability to understand their community as well as their needs. Participating in experiential and informal learning, practicing and integrating skills, and demonstrating knowledge and abilities, uniquely abled participants were empowered toward building confidence in public speaking, sharing knowledge about themselves and their community, developing skills in self-reliance, and building social capital. Because of this vulnerable population’s needs, they brought up problems and solutions that prompted other participants to realize they could also benefit from this population’s input. Using GIS tools, limitations of public transportation were identified and now can be resolved through the planning process. As the participants became more involved at the community level, their interest in and knowledge of the environment increased. The systems of community participation and environmental immersion reinforced on the other much like a feedback loop, stabilizing an otherwise disconnected community, bringing about an equilibrium that provides an enriching and diverse environment where all its citizens are better connected and more equipped to live well in their environment.

Da sociedade de ativos tangíveis, remanescente da economia de bens materiais e capitalismo industrial, transita-se para a sociedade do conhecimento, com ambição de construção de uma compreensão própria do mundo, que interprete fenómenos promovendo desenvolvimento mais responsável. Uma investigação contribui para o conhecimento quando identifica um problema significante, empreendedor, operacional e mensurável nos seus objetivos. Deve ainda antever crescimento e transformações sustentáveis no tempo e reconhecer possibilidades criativas para atingir objetivos com menor dispêndio e maior rendimento. Estes atributos são pensados em conjunto e interligados, almejando resultados capazes de dialogar e negociar com o real. Estas operações aplicam lógica de organização do pensamento e modelos para reflexão crítica sobre coisas do mundo do ser humano. No domínio da efemeridade, a construção concetual do POP UP delimita o seu ciclo de vida por antecipação, revelando potencial catalisador da prática participativa, onde é pensada como projeto. Estimula participação entre criadores que orientam e utilizadores que experimentam, promovendo ações que estabelecem relações entre intervenientes, acrescentando valor e significado e concretizando a intenção primordial do Design de resolver problemas. A questão em investigação foi formulada do seguinte modo: como é que o conceito POP UP, com as suas qualidades de revelação, contaminação, mobilidade e estratagema, poderá consolidar a sua aceção concetual enquanto modelo catalisador de atuação responsável. Conduziu-se a orientação e boa prática do conceito, desenhando-se um modelo concetual que incentivasse atuação interdisciplinar, criativa e participativa de otimização do processo em Design. Para verificação da hipótese de investigação, estabeleceu-se metodologia de investigação ativa, de observação direta e trabalho de campo, encetando-se trabalho experimental com grupos de amostra para desenvolver o modelo, posteriormente objeto de avaliação em estratégia metodológica de auscultação por painel de especialistas. Estabeleceu-se uma metodologia mista, não intervencionista e intervencionista de base qualitativa. Em sentido restrito, este projeto de investigação defende que o produto produz produtores que produzam o produto, desenhando um modelo de transformação circular sustentador do processo em Design. Em sentido amplo, a concetualização do modelo ambiciona inspirar a inteligência colaborativa por experimentação participativa, propondo novas dinâmicas sociais através dessa prática e promovendo a recuperação dos sentidos comunitário, económico e excecional no quotidiano.
ABSTRACT: In the transition from society of the Third Industrial Revolution to the Society of Knowledge and Information, there is a need to understand the world better. From the society of tangible assets, reminiscent of the economy of material goods and industrial capitalism, one moves to the knowledge society, with the ambition of constructing a proper understanding of the world, which interprets phenomena promoting more responsible development. An investigation contributes to knowledge when it identifies a significant, entrepreneurial, operational and measurable problem in its objectives. It must also foresee sustainable growth and transformation over time and recognize creative possibilities to achieve goals with lower expenditure and higher income. These attributes are thought together and interconnected, aiming at results capable of dialogue and negotiation with the real. These operations apply logic of organization of thought and models for critical reflection on things in the world of the human being. In the field of ephemerality, the conceptual construction of POP UP delimits its life cycle by anticipation, revealing the catalysing potential of participatory practice, where it is thought as a project. It stimulates participation between creators who guide and users who experiment, promoting actions that establish relationships among stakeholders, adding value and meaning and achieving the primary intention of Design to solve problems. The research question was formulated as follows: how the POP UP concept, with its qualities of revelation, contamination, mobility and stratagem, could consolidate its conceptual meaning as a catalyst for responsible action. The orientation and good practice of the concept was guided by designing a conceptual model that would encourage an interdisciplinary, creative and participative action to optimize the Design process. In order to verify the research hypothesis, a methodology was established for active research, direct observation and fieldwork. Experimental work was carried out with sample groups to develop the model, which was subsequently object of evaluation in the methodological strategy of auscultation by expert panel. A mixed, non-interventionist and interventionist qualitative methodology was established. In a narrow sense, this research project argues that the product produces producers who produce the product, designing a model of circular transformation that sustains the process in Design. In a broad sense, the model's ambition is to inspire collaborative intelligence through participatory experimentation, proposing new social dynamics through this practice and promoting the recovery of the community, economic and exceptional senses in everyday life.

Повний текст джерелаEste proyecto de doctorado explora métodos de cocreación aplicados a la investigación transdisciplinaria. En el contexto de la sociedad de la información, la colaboración en investigación ha crecido en popularidad entre equipos científicos, bajo muchos enfoques y formas. Entre ellos, la transdisciplinariedad representa un tipo específico de actividad científica colaborativa. La investigación transdisciplinaria va más allá de la colaboración de expertos de diferentes disciplinas, ya que también puede involucrar a no expertos y comunidades no científicas para abordar de manera integral diferentes cuestiones y problemáticas, como en el caso de la ciencia ciudadana o la investigación acción. La transdisciplinariedad implica procesos de investigación complejos y nuevos desafíos, como la forma de abordar la diversidad de los participantes, especialmente para planificar y gestionar proyectos. Esta tesis explora hasta qué punto y en qué medida las metodologías de cocreación pueden contribuir a abordar estos desafíos, en diferentes contextos y fases de la investigación transdisciplinaria.
Collaborative research in the network society has taken on a number of approaches and forms and has grown in popularity among scientific teams. One specific example of this is transdisciplinary research, which not only depends on the collaboration of experts from different disciplines, but also turns to non-experts and non-scientific communities of stakeholders in order to holistically address a range of different problems and issues, as is the case with citizen science and action research. Transdisciplinarity encompasses complex research processes and faces new challenges, such as how to deal with participant diversity, especially in terms of project planning and management. This doctoral thesis, founded upon a compendium of previous research, explores if and to what extent co-creation methodologies can aid in overcoming these challenges in different contexts and phases of transdisciplinary research.

Повний текст джерелаEveryday conversations can simultaneously be a spark for participatory processes and a threat to normative professional practices. My study examines communication practices and narrative methods in a development work context. The study observes the opportunities storytelling can bring to development projects and aims to highlight the importance of everyday narratives in decision-making processes. In order to explore the possibilities storytelling and everyday narratives bring to the table, I decided to build a case around Kibera slum area in Nairobi, where different actors are operating with community building, and compare their narratives. Stakeholders inevitably experience reality differently, which leads to disconnections and misunderstandings, and this makes the case study of Kibera interesting - by comparing the narratives of the two data sources from Kibera with the help of different theorists, it is possible to reveal the underlying reasons why a gap of connection exists between the different stakeholders. A case study research strategy is necessary in order to understand more profoundly how storytelling as a participatory tool can improve communication in design and development practice. After careful content analysis of different data sources, it is possible to conclude that using narrative methods to establish connections between foreign experts and vulnerable local communities builds a better foundation for development projects; storytelling creates a neutral setting where different stakeholders can find a way to express their thoughts and desires naturally.

Повний текст джерелаToday over 50% of world population lives in urban areas (75% in EU), and cities account for 60-80% of global energy consumption and the same share of GHG CO2, producing 50% of global waste, consuming 75% of natural resources and producing 80% of global GDP. (UNEP-DTIE, 2013) ¿Climate change has the potential to influence almost all components of the urban environment and raises new, complex challenges for quality of urban life, health and urban biodiversity. Some cities will experience droughts and increased temperatures. Others may experience floods. Climate change will affect many aspects of urban living from air quality to consumption patterns. The EU has put in place ambitious policies and initiatives to promoting solutions on the ground. These include initiatives to increase resilience and promote renewable energies and low-carbon technologies. (EC, 2015) Cities have already started to develop specific mitigation or adaption or risk policies/plans/actions; and a relatively small but growing number of them are now pioneering an integrated approach urban resilience based, facing challenges related uncertainty and unpredictability of the phenomena they are addressing, and ultimately suffering for a lack of knowledge in terms of research, evaluation methods/tools and planning skills. (EU, 2013) Following a review of sustainable development principles and key urban challenges, as climate and global environmental changes, it is here presented a process design methodology for urban resilience transition. The methodology is based on broad stakeholders' participation, following co-design and co-evolution principles. The most innovative element of the process design methodology is related to the contribution in terms of planning theory and practices for urban resilience, cross-scale both in time and space, which is currently very little understood and developed. Furthermore the participatory process design approach re-define the role of planner in a wider perspective, not any longer as demiurges, but as facilitator of planning and design processes. The original objective of the thesis, to develop a methodology for integrated evaluation of sustainable urban development, was expanded and broadened to address the very needed request, as proven by both existence of scientific literature and EU/UN policy document, for new forms and methodology of planning addressing urban resilience, as a dynamic process of continuous adaptation of cities balancing between the need to reduce risk and to innovate, ultimately to increase well-being urban citizens, through co-evolution based participatory planning processes. The results is a fully working process design methodology for urban resilient transition, including the original system thinking approach and embedded with an integrated evaluation of sustainability system, which has been developed from inception to a Technology Readiness Level 7-8, finally including the system prototype demonstration in operational environment.
