Broadening of social participation is one of the key trends in changes in design and implementation of public policies. Hence, the issue of socialization of decision-making processes is strongly emphasized in sustained development, environmental protection policies and spatial planning. In order to achieve a participatory level in spatial decision-making, proper configuration and intensity of system elements are essential. It involves: 1) rules that establish framework for socialized action; 2) social practice, understood as civic activity; 3) openness of the process manager, that is government and public administration. This article attempts to set spatial planning (the case of Poland), with its conditioning rules and practices, in the context of the qualitative analysis of participatory democracy.

To read is to cross the boundaries of the self, to give oneself up to the other in an act of participation. Reading is part of the process where truth comes to unveil itself on the ontic plane. In reading it is more important to experience the inexpressible than to express it. To read means to test reality as a text. This summarizes the main points of the article. Reading thus understood iscontrasted here with the practice of interpretation, which ever more often discovers its own theoretical insufficiency.

In this article I propose that the resources of social capital in an enterprise can significantly influence the patterns of worker's participation. This influence is analyzed with regard to different theories in the field of enterprise studies: neoclassical, behavioral, as well as transaction cost approach, property rights approach and the principal-agent theory; I also will draw on empirical research

The most prominent issue in the field of fisheries management is the choice between the wellbeing of the fishermen and the promotion of conservation, either in an ecosystem level or as species−specific approach. However, recently, there has been a general shift towards a more holistic approach, through which both goals may be achieved, without sacrificing one in favour of the other. The ecosystem approach is supported by a large proportion of the academic community as the solution to avoid conflict between livelihoods and conservation. In the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage Site, the local stakeholders have managed to bridge the gaps through extensive consultation and, supported by the Japanese local and national governments and various academic institutions, have established a coordinating network of organisations, in order to build consensus among the stakeholders and adopt the ecosystem approach. As representatives from most stakeholder groups participate in the collaborating institutions, the interests of various sides, including tourism, fisheries, reforestation, agriculture, citizens, scientists and environmental groups, are voiced and supported during the decision−making process. The Shiretoko Natural Heritage Site Management Plan has made significant achievements, by adopting viable trade−offs between conservation, fisheries management and tourism, resulting in a sustainable and largely self−funded conservation scheme. The example of Shiretoko could function as a best case practice for many countries worldwide that face the same problem, especially insular ones, in order to achieve sustainable fisheries without sacrificing marine conservation.

Certain theorists of global processes and phenomena find it useless for their studies to imagine culture in terms national or tribal that depart from an assumption of there being amultitude of different cultures. The conception of global cultural ecumene of Ulf Hannerz is one of the alternative propositions, for it assumes the existence of one cross-human cultural ecumene within which influences, borrowings, modifications and other cultural processes can occur. If we were to follow this route, one would have to begin by posing afew questions. Can we speak of our participation in a global ecumene? And how is it possible in the first place? Can we, and if yes, how and why, take part, or share, cultural contents that are so different and distant in time and space? My paper searches for an answer to these questions. It opens with an analysis of objects located in the quotidian spaces of our homes, yet coming from distant places and times.

Any integral conception of education – including family education – must acknowledge the need for social education, which is due to the fact that the human being can develop only as the social being. However, the readiness to enter social personal relations can be taken for granted as automatic. It requires continuous effort and formation. Social education should take into account the good of the community and the good of the educated person. This is why the concept of parti- cipation is of particular use in educating for social life. Participation does not only mean engaging in social relations, looking for external links with the world. Participation draws upon relations that stem from the internal structure of the personality. This is why participation constitutes something more than a kind of human action through which people cooperate. In this sense, participation is a human attribute, thanks to which a person acts with others to self-realize him/herself. The role of the family in social education cannot be overestimated. Family life helps discover the depth of selfless love, teaches responsibility for others in the name of the common good. When the developmental environment of the family offers appropriate models, a young human can discover that he/she lives „through others”, and learns to live „for others.” In this way, the family becomes the „school of fuller humanity” and the „school of social virtues.” This is why the family should be looked at as the foundation of proper social relations and the most effective tool of humanization and personalization of the society.

Neighbourhood / district councils exist in most big Polish cities. But their position in city politics is very weak, although differences among individual cities may be easily identified. There is also a low citizen interest in neighbourhood councils. The article tests a model to explain the variation among the cities and discusses the negative feedback between the dis-engagement of citizens and the narrow set of functions delegated to neighbourhoods. It asks the question if breaking that negative feedback is possible.

Although a number of aspects of earlier experiences correlate with later civic engagement (Sherrod 2007), the role of different factors in driving the level of young people’s engagement is not clearly understood. This qualitative study set out to understand those factors in Turkey. Eight focus groups were conducted with 55 young Roma and Turkish people, with different groups being conducted according to participants’ ethnicity, gender and age (16–18 year olds vs. 20–26 year olds). Analysis revealed specific themes in terms of the political and civic engagement of different sub-groups. However, almost all participants expressed that they did not have enough information about their rights and obligations as citizens. They also identified the different barriers which they perceived as impeding their political involvement and participation.

In a participatory framework, the multifunctionality of agroforestry systems was assessed by applying multicriteria and multivariate analyses to identify ecological, agronomic and administrative proxies and integrate these into factors, and evaluate their effects on system performance. The assessment framework was tested in 70 farms in the municipality of Tomé-Açú in the Brazilian Amazon, an area well known for its long-standing practice of agroforestry. The overall goal was to identify management decisions that ensure sustainable production of goods together with the provision of ecosystem services, with special emphasis on agrobiodiversity. Three groups of farmers were considered based on their period of settlement, property size, technological know-how, organization and access to the market. The results show that the determinant factors of multifunctional farming are the farmers’ technical qualification, good adaptability, environmental commitment and the search for financial profitability. However, the optimization of these factors leads to trade-offs such as a decrease in biomass and woody species diversity and the decline of by-product production. By considering stakeholders’ opinions and being adaptable to various demands, the proposed framework enhances the legitimacy of the results, and supports both the assessment of complex issues and decision-making.

This paper outlines results from an online survey of recent distance graduates. The study, based in Dublin City University (DCU) addresses a gap in the research on this cohort of graduates. Findings indicate that distance graduates are primarily from lower socio economic backgrounds, a group largely under-represented in full-time university education. Significantly, 30% of survey respondents came from a skilled manual background. A large percentage (39% N = 61) of graduates had never accessed any form of higher education before. An equally large percentage (N = 62) had accessed full-time higher education previously, but at a lower level than the honours primary degree they obtained through distance learning. Implications regarding the role of distance education in improving access to university education and social mobility are discussed. Finally, this paper seeks to establish relevance between knowledge of distance graduates and doing things better for first time distance learners.

Post-communist Albanian legislation (1995-2010) provides the preliminary context for the creation of enabling social niches for the engagement of people with disabilities and the family members representing them in the policy-making processes both at the national and local levels. The goal of this study was to determine the pattern of engagement of people with disabilities and their family members in the policy making process at the national and local level and identify the barriers as perceived by them. Participants were 874 persons with disabilities and their family members. The results indicated a strong interest but a poor engagement pattern of people with disabilities and their family members in the policy making process and various structural and attitudinal barriers. Conscious work needs to be done by the government agencies as well as advocacy organizations to create enabling social niches for people with disabilities that encourage their participation in the policy making process as valuable stakeholders in shared governance.

Bagnoli, a neighbourhood on the west outskirts of Naples, has been a typical industrial and working class area for more than eighty years, having put up an important factory district in a wide territory belonging to its seaside zone, where the Ilva-Italsider building, third steel industry centre in Italy, dominated. Since 1993 this huge factory has been definitely closed and its facilities have been phased out. So the large territory has become object of an important conversion and urban requalification project. Between 1995, when the variant Regulation Plan of Naples Municipality was introduced, and 2005, when the Executive Urban Plan was approved, this project has been developing and completing, defining the future of the ex industrial area, according some privileged lines: enhancement of natural and landscape aspects inside the heart of Pozzuoli gulf; recovery and development of the original touristic vocation through the thermal system and bathing restoration. This project opens towards great expectations of transformation and improvement of life and environment quality both for the inhabitants who live there in the neighbourhood and for the whole city. At the same time it has happened a speculation phenomenon through the sale contract concerning buildings and flats by the realties, together with the transfer of many historical inhabitants and the arrival of new people in the neighbourhood. They are attracted by the changing prospective of the area, but they have no relation with the zone and its history. So, during the last twenty years, the neighbourhood identity has been modified. Contemporarily, the soils draining proceeds slowly and among thousands difficulties, while the sea bottom draining isn’t active yet. Today, most of the area is under seizure by judiciary, that found irregularities and defaults in the draining works, realized only for the 65%. The future imagined in the conversion project results, in this way, largely compromised. In this research work we intend to verify how a particular physical-spatial dimension has influenced the social relations and the same identities of the people and their “community”, how we can delineate the perception and the performance of a urban transformation largely failed, and which contribution the citizens of Bagnoli can give to the urban design through their own imaginary and meanings they ascribe to their environment (Lynch 1960). In this sense, the study aim at giving a contribution to the participative practice, that up to now is out of the transition dynamics.

The functional relationships between territorial units which make up a metropolitan area mean that the effective management of development requires cooperation of different stakeholders and co-ordination on the metropolitan level. This in turn requires that the approach towards managing development shifts in favour of governance. The paper aims at assessing whether the concept of governance is used in managing metropolitan area of Copenhagen. The analysis concentrates on formal organizational structures co-ordinating metropolitan areas as well as different forms of partnership during realization of key development projects.

Amendment to local government political acts, introduced in January 2018, expanded the catalogue of legal instruments for participation of residents of local government units in solving the actual problems of their self-governing communities. The catalogue included a citizens’ resolution-passing initiative, which may be classified as a means of integrating members of a given community and involving them in the process of law making. Until the entry into force of legal solutions, introduced by the amending act, the issues of the resolution-passing initiative were subject to statutory regulations. The scope of these regulations was diverse, which is why the legislator decided to harmonise them. The study includes an analysis of applicable legal solutions that shape the institution of the citizens’ resolution-passing initiative as well as their assessment and an attempt to formulate de lege lata conclusions.

The changing social environment prompted the European Union (EU) to rethink its strategies towards its citizens. Phenomena such as distrust towards government institutions, nationalist movements and the alleged democratic deficit are the reasons why the EU aims at engaging with the civil society in its public policy, ranging from agenda setting to decision-making via instruments such as consultations. This paper intends to analyse the rationale behind implementing and pursuing this strategy. As the EU tries to increase its legitimacy, it needs to be evaluated if the EU meets the demands of citizens. For this analysis, a structured literature review will be conducted. This article desires to demonstrate that civil society organisations undergo processes of professionalization and transformation into providers of knowledge and expertise; therefore, ordinary citizens are not represented adequately in the EU via CSOs. Hence, the EU has desired to get closer to its citizens; however, with the current strategies the importance of membership has decreased and the opportunities for engagement have become more elitist. Further research is needed to evaluate the reasons behind this trend for the EU to draw appropriate conclusions and re-formulate its policy towards including its citizens.

Any person may participate in meetings, classes, academic, society, Church, family or Fatherland’s life. In herein article we will hold on reflection about participation as relevant feature of human being in the spirit of Karol Wojtyła. The present article concentrates on the aspect of correlation between act and person consequent to the fact that deeds are fulfilled by people and “mutually with other” people. That is a consequence of the fact that the person exists “mutually with other” people. The characteristic of community, co-participation is stamped on human’s existence. Fulfilling deeds by the person himself forms a fundamental value. Cardinal K. Wojtyła terms it as “Personalistic value labor”. That value is different than every kind of moral values which are fulfilled labor values and they eventuate from reference to norm. Participation doesn’t mean only varied forms of reference of a person to other people or unit to society but it also means essentials of these forms which are deeply embedded in person. Acting “mutually with others” is convenient for transcendence and integration of person in labor, when the person chooses the same as others and chooses because others choose. Participation in case of acting with others comprises and expresses self – determination of the person, hence it is in a way a more complete image. However there are possible certain forms of constriction or even crossing out of participation. Such situation is possible mostly by lack of participation descended from entity and principal of action or throughout making participation impossible derived from extraneous of person and consequent to the wrong structure of acting community. First obstacle in a way to participation is called individualism and the second is called totalism. Despite efflux of time individualism and totalism are one of the utmost threats to our society and it begins from improper understanding of participation.
