Abstract

Developing web-based as well as mobile platforms to encourage citizens to become involved in urban governance and political decision-making processes is becoming increasingly popular amongst municipalities and organisations. However, the vast majority of them either implement a one-way communication between citizens and governance or tends to be more of a consultation process instead of actively integrating citizens in decision-making. Our research aims to strengthen citizens' involvement in governance and encourage a continuous dialogue between municipalities and citizens. To explore the opportunities and impacts of novel mobile participation concepts, we developed a mobile application. This paper reports on two consecutive studies, which evaluate and explore user acceptance of general concepts of our system. Being still in the development phase, we focused on specific features of the prototype. Results of both studies are presented and discussed in relation to opportunities for m-participation tools. The paper concludes with an outline of future work.

从野外的移动参与原型中获得的见解

开发基于网络和移动平台，鼓励公民参与城市治理和政治决策过程，在市政当局和组织中越来越受欢迎。然而，绝大多数国家要么实行公民与治理之间的单向沟通，要么更倾向于协商过程，而不是让公民积极参与决策。我们的研究旨在加强公民对治理的参与，并鼓励市政当局与公民之间的持续对话。为了探索新的移动参与概念的机会和影响，我们开发了一个移动应用程序。本文报告了两个连续的研究，评估和探索用户对我们系统的一般概念的接受程度。由于仍处于开发阶段，我们专注于原型的特定功能。这两项研究的结果都与移动参与工具的机会有关。论文最后概述了今后的工作。
