Does Participatory Governance Deliver? Citizen Participation
and Social Service Delivery in Nicaragua.
Degree: PhD, Political Science, 2011, Brown University

▼ Many policymakers assume that citizen participation in
development policy will empower individuals and communities by both
increasing the control they have over policies that affect their
lives and by improving the quality of social service delivery. As a
result, most development policies include citizen participation as
a core component. While some scholars warn that decentralized
decision-making may lead to elite capture of local institutions,
non-expert policy mistakes and the perpetuation of local
inequality, most studies of
participatory governance (PG) focus on
relatively successful cases. In my dissertation I address the
following question: Under what conditions does PG deliver better
social services? To answer this question I use a quasi-experimental
ethnographic research design to analyze sub-national variation in
citizen participation and social service quality under two
different models of PG operating within the same country: primary
school-based management under Nicaragua�s Autonomous Schools
Program (1993-2007) and popular development councils under the
Citizen Power Councils (2007-2011). In addition to analyzing both
the successes and failures of PG across different policy sectors,
these two nationwide PG policies also permit the study of
national-level PG politics�describing how both the Right and the
Left have attempted to use PG to build political support. I find
that PG does not tend to build political cooperation as most of the
PG literature suggests. Instead, PG promotes higher levels of and
more representative participation where cooperation already exists.
I argue that municipal political configurations, the neighborhood
balance of partisan power and local legacies of bipartisan conflict
and cooperation predict who participates in PG. When only one party
participates, it is more likely that social services will be
directed to partisan supporters and withheld from the political
opposition. Moreover, adequate financial, material and technical
subsidies must be governed by appropriate leadership to improve
social service delivery. Overall, this dissertation warns against
transplanting models of PG into low-income, politically-divided
countries with weak state capacity. Without the necessary local
preconditions, PG may actually undermine social service delivery
and become political fodder for electoral authoritarian
regimes.

▼ UNESCO Community Multimedia Centres are a specific
model of public access to Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). These venues are conceived to address the
information needs of underserved and marginalised communities in
emerging and developing countries. They are composed of a community
radio station, which broadcasts in local languages and is managed
by local people, along with a telecentre, a place where people can
access computers, the Internet, and other services such as offline
content collections, photocopier and fax. The model was designed as
an ICT for development (ICT4D) initiative, aimed to bridge the
digital and knowledge divides experienced within remote
communities. Community Multimedia Centres (CMCs) can be defined as
a top-down, off-the- shelf solution, designed on communities’
behalf and replicated in a variety of countries. This
one-size-fits-all kind of intervention has characterised most of
the first wave of ICT4D projects, and was, in later time,
criticised in favour of more
participatory approaches. Top-down
approaches are believed to originate mismatches between design
assumptions and observed realities. Yet, CMCs and analogous public
access to ICT projects, still receive considerable attention within
the field, and huge investments are still made by governments and
international organizations to support and create them. This
research explores the phenomenon of CMCs in Mozambique by
investigating Social Representations (Moscovici, 1961) that
different stakeholders’ have of them. Social Representations can
provide an integrated view of CMCs that give voice to local
perspectives without neglecting to take into account the initiating
agencies’ expectations. Social Representation theory is, thus,
proposed as a suitable theoretical framework to operationalize the
gaps between designs and realities that too often affect ICT4D
project sustainability. This research was conducted by using a
mixed methods approach. CMCs of 10 Mozambican provinces were
investigated by conducting 232 interviews with representatives of
initiating agencies, local staff members, CMC users (both the radio
and telecenter components), users of the community radio only, and
community members who did not use the CMCs. Photo-elicitation was
also used, which is an underexplored technique in ICT4D, and was
employed for data generation with members of the staff and CMC
users. Following the analysis of transcribed interviews, different
data analysis methods were employed on both the visual and the
discursive data generated, including co-occurrences of the lemmas
used by interviewees and inductive and deductive content analyses.
The combination of these different techniques allowed to gain
in-depth insights and to triangulate research outcomes. Outcomes of
the analyses are presented in three journal articles included in
this work. Furthermore, a systematic literature review on the use
of Social Representations Theory in ICT4D and adjacent domains was
performed, which sheds light on the potential that the theory has
for the…

▼ With the increase in popularity of mobile devices and their increasing functionalities,
participatory sensing has become one of the most researched areas. Applications of
participatory sensing are spread across a wide array of fields such as transportation, health, emergency management, monitoring daily activities, and citizen science. Using the mobile devices, individuals (or group of individuals) can explore and report on their surroundings. Individuals can act as “mobile sensor platforms”, collecting information using mobile devices (images, audio/video files, location data, etc.) as well as providing their own human observations. The power of the data obtained can be increased by using web services to store this data and obtain meaningful information. Perhaps, a new term can be coined ‘
Participatory Action’ which explains the process of decision-making (or taking actions) using
participatory sensing and web services. In this thesis, a prototype has been developed that presents a proof of concept for the term ‘
Participatory Action.’ The infrastructure presented in this work addresses the scenario of a forest fire where a trapped victim is rescued (and fire is extinguished) by using the information obtained from other users in the vicinity.
Using the Android enabled devices users can upload their information to the web service running on a centralized data center. The dynamic log generated by the users is taken into consideration for the process of decision making. The algorithm calculates a measure of effectiveness for each user present at the scene and presents results to the data center operator. The operator then can make the tasking decision whether to ask the user to carry out the rescue or to extinguish the fire.

▼ International development’s preoccupation with growth-oriented strategies has abated in response to the inadequacies of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of societal progress. The broader framing of a wellbeing agenda promises a departure from the policymaking status quo, yet its measures have not kept pace. Efforts to operationalise wellbeing have relied on familiar statistical tools and linear models that limit the information considered relevant for human flourishing. The resulting loss of complexity and diversity distorts policy messages and systematically perpetuates the structural conditions that generate wellbeing inequities. In New Zealand, the re-emergence of wellbeing as a political focal point, coupled with a commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDGs) call to ‘leave no-one behind’, places pressure on wellbeing frameworks to improve outcomes for people experiencing hardship. This research explores wellbeing from the perspective of those experiencing hardship in Cannons Creek, Porirua, and analyses how holistic approaches to wellbeing might enable more targeted policies that address wellbeing inequities. Critical theory guided this research and was complemented by the methodologies of
participatory action research and the capability approach.
Participatory mixed methods enabled an exploration of participants’ perspectives via focus group discussions, diagramming activities, and free-list surveys. The results revealed a disconnect between New Zealand’s macro level wellbeing framework and community level realities, primarily in what was measured and why it was considered relevant for wellbeing. Participants conceptualised wellbeing as a balance of domains in a non-hierarchical system, and an analysis of wellbeing inter-relationships indicated that some domains acted as catalysts of change or as bridges between seemingly unrelated wellbeing processes. The conclusion can be drawn that for the operationalisation of wellbeing to reach fuller potential, policymakers should make use of alternative framings that shift emphasis from static linear thresholds to a continuum of dynamic, inter-related processes embedded in time, place, and context. As New Zealand’s transition to a wellbeing agenda marks new opportunities to pioneer discussions on how best to ‘leave no-one behind’, this research makes a strong case for measures of progress to reflect the intrinsic and inescapably complex nature of wellbeing as it is experienced in people’s daily lives.

▼ In the most recent wave of democratization, local reformers have drawn upon
participatory democracy to inspire solutions to persistent issues of inequality and social justice. One of the better-known examples of this trend,
participatory budgeting, was first introduced as a way to give citizens a direct role in decisions regarding local government spending. Though the original architects of this institution sought to create spaces for previously marginalized citizens to have a voice in local government, the term ‘
participatory budgeting’ has increasingly come to mean merely an annual cycle of neighborhood assemblies that are unlinked from the actual budgetary decision-making process. To explore the consequences of this dilution of the original program design, I present a new approach towards defining
participatory budgeting that distinguishes between comprehensive reform efforts, what I refer to as multidimensional
participatory budgeting (MPB), and simplified programs relying mainly on communicative fora, which I label as consultative
participatory budgeting (CPB). Building off of earlier research that identified
participatory budgeting’s impact on local government spending, I show that substantive changes in budgeting and service delivery occur largely in the subset of cases I have identified as MPB, while public assemblies on their own are insufficient to bring about changes in spending priorities or service delivery. This work has broad implications for the many developing country governments around the world seeking to better incorporate and respond to the demands of historically marginalized segments of society.

▼ Participatory research (PR) is a research approach
which involves partnerships between researchers and those affected
by the issues under study. These partnerships lead to the
production of research that is relevant and applicable to those
involved in the process. Despite the potential value of this
approach, few studies have involved individuals with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or other neurodevelopmental disorders in
the development of research. This thesis includes two studies: a
scoping review examining the involvement of individuals with ASD
and other neurodevelopmental disorders in development of research,
and a qualitative study conducted with adults with ASD exploring
their preferred process of ASD research involvement. These studies
revealed different perspectives among researchers and adults with
ASD toward research involvement which need to be resolved in order
to develop genuine partnerships of trust and research
productivity.

▼ A growing body of research suggests that we are
witnessing new forms of youth civic engagement and public
participation, invigorated by digital technologies, practices and
cultures. In communication studies, ""participation"" has primarily
been theorized in the separate, and so far largely disconnected,
subfields of
participatory communication and
participatory culture.
Few scholars have bridged these fields, and while both take civic
and political engagement as a central concern, both have fallen
short of theorizing how participation in public life traverses the
areas of communication, culture, and politics. This study
investigates participation across these three areas to develop a
model for analyzing
participatory public culture and youth
engagement in the digital era. The model is based on the findings
of several case studies in Medellín, Colombia, developed through a
multi‐level, ethnographic approach. The findings suggest that
participatory public cultures are cultivated through both
institutional strategies and grassroots tactics for participation.
The study also finds that efforts to use digital communication
technologies to enhance youth engagement are less technologically
deterministic and more effective when they are linked to dialogical
communicative practices; to cultures that promote the expression of
citizen voices; and to political or other structures that connect
the expression of voice to influence over decisions that affect
participants' material reality. The resulting analytical model
prompts analysis of the relationship between institutional and
grassroots modes of participation, and critical consideration of
the kinds of participation being enacted or offered, whether
structural or content‐related. It proposes several analytical
dimensions relevant to the construction of
participatory public
culture, including reducing barriers to participation; creating
spaces and cultures of participation; developing capacities to
participate; and linking voice to influence. The study historicizes
contemporary discourses of participation, and engages scholarship
from the United States, Latin America, and Europe in digital media
studies, cultural studies, and communication, political, and
sociological theory.

▼ [email protected]
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is one of the most common childhood behavior disorders and a frequent reason for children’s and parent’s use of mental health services. Parenting plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of ODD. However, most research on parenting has been conducted with White, middle class families and may not apply universally to urban, racial-ethnic minority populations. Given that specific parenting practices related to the development of behavior problems may vary by population, the current study aims to assess how parenting practices as defined by community members in an ethnic minority, urban, and economically disadvantaged community relate to children’s behavior problems. Participants include 109 youth ages 9-15 and their 109 caregivers from an urban, racial-ethnic minority population. Caregivers completed ratings of their children’s behavior problems. Youth reported on a measure, “Showing Kids Love,” which included three subscales indicating if youth felt love from caregivers, if love was demonstrated to them, and if their father or a father figure was involved in their life. Regression analyses were conducted to determine how these three community-derived indicators of healthy parenting relate to children’s behavior problems. Decreases in youth feeling love were associated with significant increases in ODD symptoms. Increases in love being demonstrated to youth were associated with significant decreases in ODD symptoms. Increases in father or other father figure involvement were associated with decreases in ODD symptoms, though this relationship only approached statistical significance. Findings support the importance of youth receiving warmth and affection from caregivers and highlight the importance of community-based research. Future research should continue to use community-based research to evaluate how parenting practices influence children’s behavior problems.

▼ This dissertation is an ethnographic, socio-historical study of public participation in post-disaster recovery planning in Japan from the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in Kobe through ongoing recovery activities in the tsunami-devastated areas of Tōhoku. It investigates how a "new breed of specialists" in
participatory recovery planning (PRP), primarily from Kobe, co-constructed the field of PRP along with their own expertise, and scrutinizes what happens specifically when these experts work together with the local residents of the Sanriku coast, who apprehend the world from very different cultural, historical and epistemological perspectives. This work reveals PRP in Tōhoku as a process through which the "community" of experts and the "community" of locals strive to re-construct themselves and each other. Based on ethnographic data, this dissertation questions both the old "deficit model" of an ignorant and irrational public and the (recently in vogue) deficit model of "unreflexive" experts constitutionally blind to local context and the situated character of knowledge - at least with respect to a certain category of expert, epitomized by the PRP experts from Kobe. Drawing upon recent scholarship, the thesis argues that it is fruitful to dub this category engagement agents: technical experts who "orchestrate"
participatory engagement exercises, integrate and contextualize diverse knowledges, and liaise with diverse stakeholders and key constituencies. Among the core practices of engagement agents is the praxis of trust-work, through which they construct and maintain their credibility as experts and their trustworthiness as moral agents, integrating their several roles. Putatively "non-expert" individuals without formal training may also pick up the know-how of a technical specialty and become recognized as authoritative "experts" while practicing the peculiar roles of engagement agents, while also retaining the social and epistemological advantages of "locals." "Expertise" is not solely about the production, use, or communication of "knowledge." Rather, there are as many ways of "being an expert" or "constructing expertise" as there are of situating practice, locating social identity, negotiating credibility, eliciting trust, engaging constituencies, or enacting reflexivity.

▼ Professional urban planners have long struggled with questions about how to better support the planning and development of socially equitable and racially just communities. This dissertation project expands this conversation by exploring three centuries of 'diasporic placemaking' in the southeastern U.S. city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I define 'diasporic placemaking' as creative, everyday practices through which historically uprooted and migratory populations create communities of material security and cultural belonging from shared social and physical environments. From there, I ask how planners might come to better support and enable multiracial diasporic placemaking in Chattanooga and other complex, racially and culturally diverse cities. The project builds upon literature in citizen participation, planning education, placemaking, theories of diaspora, cultural studies, and
participatory action research. Methodologically, it combined ethnographic techniques (narrative interviews, participant observation, and archival analysis) with an action research partnership between the author, Chattanooga Organized for Action and the Chattanooga Public Library. Together, we launched two experimental initiatives: the Sustaining People and Reclaiming Communities (SPARC) Initiative and the Planning Free School of Chattanooga. Both were designed to be alternatives to mainstream planning initiatives underway in Chattanooga and to be created with and for the benefit of low income residents, especially communities of color. The dissertation proposes that diasporic placemaking, as a theory and practice of sociospatial development, should be incorporated into mainstream citizen planning and equitable community development discussions. The history of multiethnic placemaking in Chattanooga provides keen insight into how collaborations and contestations between historically uprooted populations have generated local urban social and spatial orders. Assessing other cities in the same light may help planners and other urban professionals understand how to integrate antiracism values and practices into urban planning and redevelopment in more substantive and transformative ways. Furthermore, this dissertation proposes that a new era of citizen planning for community self-determination and interdependence lies before us. This updated mode of placemaking should understand how formal politics operate and help residents understand how to navigate public bureaucracies, but it must be ultimately concerned with shifting the powers of urban storytelling, analysis, and decision-making power into the hands of society's most underrepresented and marginalized members.

▼ A shift has taken place in the structures of local governance in many developing countries. Whereas in the past, the central government provided local infrastructure (water and sanitation systems, roads, electricity, schools, and healthcare), today communities face these responsibilities themselves. The shift has been prompted and accompanied by changing global thoughts on appropriate development approaches and forced by difficulties in fiscal affairs. The shift matches a belief that more participation and more decentralization result in more democracy and better development. To this effect, neoliberal decentralization policies have been enacted in various countries to promote this "bottom-up" strategy. The strategy favors decision-making at the local level, through an alliance among local governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), private firms, and citizens to identify, prioritize, implement, and monitor projects. This study examines the impact of the
participatory approach in two communities in Kenya-one of several East African countries to have instituted
participatory development programs over the last decade. The study assesses the physical, socioeconomic, and political impact of the Local Authority Service Delivery Action Plan (LASDAP), a national development program. The findings are based on interviews conducted with government and local officials, reviews of documents, interviews with local residents, and visits to project sites within the boundaries of two local government councils: the Municipal Council of Nakuru (MCN) and Gusii County Council (GCC). Examination of the LASDAP program in Kenya suggests that despite the ideological fervor that often accompanies this development approach, program outcomes failed to measure up. Very little of the development funds were spent on the implementation of projects, local participation rates were low, and the process did not fare well at promoting greater transparency and accountability within local governance structures. Furthermore, local power dynamics were simply too strong, too complicated, and too intertwined to be inconsequential to the development process. As a result of these shortcomings, residents have developed an attitude of resignation rather than enthusiasm, with participation. In the conclusion, technical solutions are recommended for addressing the key problems encountered within these two communities' development processes. However, this research finds that achieving long-lasting solutions to these communities' social ills will require both a technical and sociopolitical approach to development. A sociopolitical approach is required because elite capture of the development process has not only resulted in an unequal distribution of new resources, but also continues to reinforce the norm of inequality. Prior development programs did not fare any better. Thus, addressing the underlying issues of social justice and unequal power will demand that the development process be politicized, and not simply be…

▼ To enhance user experience, vendors have equipped mobile phones with various kinds of sensors in recent years. Though small, these embedded sensors have greatly improved the communication devices by making them “smarter”. Things are becoming more interesting as people are starting to share their local knowledge by providing sensing data from their phones. This is so-called “
participatory sensing”. People have already seen the power of “
participatory sensing” in traffic monitoring, health analysis and many other research areas. However, while sensing data are helping people understand the world, they may also leak personal private information. Though existing permission-based sensor management systems have claimed to be able to prevent privacy leakage, recently reported attacks on smartphones have shown their limitations and ineffectiveness in protecting sensitive user information.
In this thesis, we propose a Quality-of-Sensing (QoSn) based management framework for
participatory sensing. This framework would help people manage their sensing tasks and control the quality of sensing through a unified interface on the phone, which provides both convenience and security to users in
participatory sensing. To make
participatory sensing a win-win game, the framework also allows privacy bargain to let the users trade off their privacy for better rewards.
This thesis presents the implementation of the framework’s phone client on the Android OS. The phone client provides unified interface to efficiently manage the sensing tasks and control the sensing quality of all the onboard sensors. We have successfully restricted the quality of sensing by creating policies. We have also made 9 sensors on Nexus 10, which is a tablet with Android system, running together at their highest rates in SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL mode with very low network overhead and little impact to the phone, which shows the scalability of the sensing framework.

▼ Camelpox virus (CMLV) causes a smallpox-like illness in a unique host, the camel.
Although the disease is enzootic in almost all regions where camel husbandry is
practiced, and is responsible for severe economic losses, its epidemiology has not
extensively investigated. Thus, sero- and
participatory- epidemiological investigation of
the disease was carried out in Gabi Rasu zone using cross sectional study design to
determine its seroprevalence and associated risk factors as well as using seasonal
calendar to identify its seasonal occurrences. In addition camelpox vaccine, the only
available vaccine for the species of animal in Ethiopia, was evaluated under field
condition by seroconversion using the before and after with control experimental study
design. The study was conducted in two selected districts of Gabi Rasu zone, from
November 2014 to May 2015.
Out of 384 camel sera samples tested by virus neutralization test, 74 were seropositive
for camelpox, giving an overall seroprevalence of 19.3% (95% CI= 15.3-23.2%) in the
study area. A seroprevalence of 21.6 (95% CI= 16.0-27.2) and 16.7 (95% CI=11.2-22.1)
were recorded in Amibara and Awash Fentale districts, respectively. At least one
seropositive camel was detected from 25 herds among 30 examined giving 83.3% (95%
CI = 70.0-96.6) herd level prevalence. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression
analysis of the assumed risk factors showed that age of the camel was the only risk factor
associated with the occurrence of serpositivity to camelpox. The results indicated that
camelpox seroprevalence was significantly higher in adult (24.4%, 95% CI= 18.4-30.4)
than young age group (13.9%, 95% CI= 8.9-18.8) with a 2 fold greater odds of
occurrence. The small-scale vaccine evaluation trial indicated that, vaccination of
camels with the live attenuated camelpox vaccine resulted in a significantly higher
seroconvesrion rate compared to unvaccinated camels. However, among 58 vaccinated
camels with pre-vaccination seronegative results, 32 found seropositive at postvaccination
serum analysis using VNT, indicating low (55.2%) seroconversion rate.
Various explanations have suggested for the failure of post vaccination seroconversion
on 44.8% vaccinated camels. Interview of pastoralists has revealed that camelpox is one of the most common camel diseases in the area. The disease was reported commonly to
occur during the minor (Sugum) and major (Kerma) rainy seasons by informant groups.
In conclusion camelpox seems to be endemic in Gabi Rasu zone with seasonal
occurrence during rainy season. Therefore, considering the economical significance of
the disease, vaccination of young camels along side training of pastoralists for improved
management strategies could have a significant importance in diminishing the virus from
circulation. However, further extensive studies that lead to conclusive results on the
efficacy of the vaccine under evaluation are recommended.

▼ Bij participatory design zijn de eisen en de wensen van de eindgebruiker het startpunt voor het ontwerp van een nieuw (software)product. En ook na het vergaren van de requirements, blijven het ontwerp en de ontwikkeling van de software een voortdurend samenspel tussen ontwikkelaars en participanten. Dit zorgt voor draagvlak bij de eindgebruiker en verkleint het risico op een gat tussen de eisen en wensen van de eindgebruiker en het eindproduct. Deze methode brengt echter ook risico's met zich mee. Doel van het onderzoek is het in kaart brengen van deze risico's. In de literatuurstudie zijn 26 artikelen gevonden waarin risico's van participatory design werden genoemd. Dit leverde in totaal 34 risico's op die middels open card sorting zijn gecategoriseerd in vier categorieën. Om te toetsen of het overzicht van risico’s bruikbaar was in de praktijk, is gekeken of de genoemde risico's worden herkend in de praktijk middels semi-gestructureerde interviews met vier ervaringsdeskundigen op het gebied van participatory design. Uit de interviews bleek dat de risicolijst na toetsing overeind bleef staan en geen aanvulling nodig had.

▼ Social marketing is a technique for behavioural change that has been around since the 1960s, when prominent academics argued that the tools and techniques of marketing could be used for social as well as commercial ends. More recently, the orthodox approach to social marketing - based on the marketing management paradigm - has been challenged and new approaches are emerging. One such development has been characterised loosely as ‘co creation’, which in a social marketing context is understood to mean behavioural change interventions that are developed collaboratively with the target audience, rather than by remote experts. I present here an autoethnographic study of an 18-month ‘co-created’ social marketing project that sought to reduce risky drinking in two deprived neighbourhoods. Locating myself epistemologically within the post structural approach articulated by critical sociologists (e.g. Laurel Richardson and Norman Denzin), I have written two analytical stories about the project based upon field notes, project documents, emails and recollections. One story is akin to a thick description, the second organised around four emergent themes: negative space, legitimacy, resistance and performativity. Drawing upon literature from participatory research, international development and activist scholarship, I present a contribution in three parts. First, a detailed ethical and epistemological critique of social marketing’s claims to legitimacy as a methodology of social change; second, the development and theoretical justification of autoethnographic writing as a method for analysing participatory and action research projects; and finally, an exploration of the relationship between identity (internally cultivated and externally imposed), social inequality and social activism via evocative writing as “the very possibility of change” (Cixous, 1976, p. 879).

▼ The failure of the centralized top down approach to management of common pool resources such as forests led policy makers and donors to conclude that devolution of forest management to local communities can be the only solution to such failures. Developing countries have thus resorted to devolution of forest management to forest adjacent communities through approaches such as joint forest management (JFM) and
participatory forest management (PFM). PFM is part of the initiative towards devolution of power of management and decision making from government to local communities. Communities therefore self-organize into community forest associations (CFAs) or forest user groups to manage forest resources. In Kenya for instance, the recent and ongoing forest sector reforms as envisaged in the Forest Act (2005) and the Forest Act (2016) led to devolution of forest management through CFAs and provision of incentives such as plantation establishment and livelihood improvement scheme (PELIS), eco-tourism, harvesting of forest products among others. These efforts were aimed at deepening community participation in forest management and improving welfare of forest adjacent communities. However, despite the numerous efforts aimed at empowering communities to sustainably manage forest resources through PFM and provision of various incentives, the success of PFM in terms of efficiency, equity, accountability and environmental outcomes have been mixed. In this thesis, we contribute empirically to the understanding of how PFM can be successfully implemented and make suggestion for more inclusive, equitable and sustainable forest management in Kenya from a micro perspective using household and community level data collected from 22 CFAs in the Mau forest conservancy. We take into account the values and preferences attached to salient forest ecosystem services by local communities and how this can be used to design incentive schemes like PES to incentivize local communities and also influence devolution of forest management. We also assess the impact of existing incentives specifically PELIS on welfare of forest adjacent communities as well as the environment and the heterogeneous impact of the scheme on household welfare. We then look at the context specific factors influencing the varying levels of success among the CFAs. The thesis therefore, comprises of three separate, but related analysis chapters.

▼ Photovoice is a Participatory Action Research (PAR) method that generates knowledge about the lived experiences of members of marginalized communities. Participants are understood to be experts of their experiences and are asked to take photos of their lives. Photovoice is highly flexible in application and participants can have varying degrees of involvement in components of the method, from design to dissemination of findings. Although providing opportunity for a high degree of participation is ideal, this is less frequently demonstrated in the literature. To understand the impact of participation on the type of information generated, individuals living in supportive housing were asked to share their experiences of their housing. Perspectives of consumers of supportive housing have had little presence in the housing literature, particularly within a photovoice framework. Therefore, this research asked consumers about their housing as well as how they experienced their participation across two photovoice projects that afforded more and less opportunity for participation.
This dissertation consists of three studies conducted on two distinct projects. Studies 1 and 2 were conducted on the HousingPlus Photovoice Project, an investigator initiated and driven application of photovoice. Study1 examined what can be learned about supportive housing and revealed rich information about participants’ experiences with their housing. Study 2 examined experiences of stakeholders with the photovoice method, including participants and project contributors. Study 2 revealed three distinct approaches to photography: planned, discovery-oriented, and task-oriented approaches to photography. Participants who used a discovery-oriented approach tended to benefit the most from this project. Contributors shared the common value of supporting participation but had divergent perspectives of the photographs, an important product of participation. Contributors tended to focus either on the external or internal photo narratives.
Study 3 was conducted on the Home Photovoice Project, which was initiated and run by a community-based agency. This second project provided a point of comparison to determine whether a more participatory application of photovoice would result in similar or distinct findings related to supportive housing and stakeholder experiences with the method. Although the three distinct styles of participation observed in the HousingPlus Photovoice Project were also observed in the Home Photovoice Project, most participants developed a planned approach to photography over time. Participants who began with a planned or task-oriented approach tended to benefit the most from this more participatory application of photovoice. More was learned about shared participant experiences and perspectives in the Home Photovoice Project. In contrasting these projects it is apparent that the choice of methodological focus significantly impacts the photos and narratives produced, approaches to participation, and stakeholder experiences of…

▼ This thesis presents an exploration of the operationalization of empowerment outcomes in research on transformative participatory evaluations, focusing on the context of international development evaluation. Covering a 15 year period from 1999 and 2014, through the examination of the empirical research literature, the study explores: 1) how empowerment outcomes are measured, 2) the extent to which these outcomes demonstrate empowerment principles, and 3) which factors and conditions appear to enable or detract from the attainment of these outcomes. I found that the current state of the empirical research on transformative participatory evaluation to be largely comprised of reflective case narratives that rely solely on scarcely documented qualitative methods. In general, transformative outcomes do tend to mirror empowerment principles such as ownership, inclusion, democracy, and social justice. Finally, I found that various factors and conditions are critical to the reported attainment of transformative outcomes, particularly in relation to the local program context, for example, reforms in local and international governments that support increased local control over resources and governance, organizational structures and priorities that are congruent with empowerment objectives, and previous experience with empowerment processes. I also highlighted deficiencies in the current empirical research and call on the evaluation community to improve research on transformative approaches to participatory evaluation by suggesting critical areas for practice and writing. These include strengthening research designs and the use of meta-evaluations, further defining and clarifying key terms, and providing rich detail to facilitate further learning in this area.

▼ An integrative analysis is presented of positivism, shared epistemology, and the final emerging alternative: community-based
participatory action research (CBPAR). The analysis includes how each philosophy defines, views, and analyzes a community. While overcoming the drawbacks to adopting social indicator analyses to study social life, CBPAR provides a strategy that uses collaboration, empowerment, and
participatory democracy to engage communities. As part of this investigation, other shared epistemologies such as symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology, and previous community-based methods are considered. CBPAR studies have had significant impact on public policy, so much so that communities sometimes “improvements” that they have wanted or needed because a collaborative process was not pursued. Accordingly, as is discussed in this thesis, CBPAR researchers should be trained properly and provided with the resources and skills necessary to be successful at collaborating with communities, or research and planning will not be community-based. But as CBPAR gains respect and recognition, this approach to conducting social research, and creating and evaluating interventions, will no longer be an emerging alternative, but rather a way for all communities that have been marginalized or forgotten to be heard and change their current situations.

Participatory wetland resource governance in Bangladesh: an analysis of community-based experiments in Hakaluki Haor.

▼ Jurisdictional ownership of all natural resources, including wetlands and river channels, belongs to the state in Bangladesh, and access to and control over wetland resource are determined by the existing top-down, command-and-control, bureaucratic management regimes. Grounded solely in the economic aspects of natural resources, the wetland management objective of the government focuses on rent-seeking to maximize revenues and other economic benefits. At the operational level, this approach presumes bounded and closed economic and social systems and an equilibrial environment.
The purpose of this research was to investigate options for institutionalizing participation of stakeholders in wetland (haor) resource management. It was intended to seek alternatives to the state-governed management approach (SMA) and find a means of governance that would encompass multi-stakeholders in the management of natural resources.
The specific objectives of this research were to: i) Examine the state-governed management approach and the relationship between formal and informal institutions concerned with access and control over wetland (haor) resources; ii) Analyze, as an alternative to SMA, the processes and structures of stakeholders’ participation and deliberations in decision-making; and iii) Examine the potential for multi-stakeholder governance in wetland resource management.
This research selected three development initiatives in Hakaluki haor (major wetland of Bangladesh) for assessment. A set of PRA methods, which included baseline surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, semi-structured interviews, individual discussion meetings, addah (informal chatting with friends and fellows), and workshops, was used during the research to attain the objective of the study.
The research findings have revealed that the community-based organizations (CBOs) were capable of contributing effectively to the community-based or co-management approach in wetland resource management. Establishing a multi-level stakeholder governance system as an institutional structure and process is necessary to sustain CBOs’ operations in decision-making. The participation of local resource users would require appropriate degree of integration of the “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches to include all relevant stakeholders in the decision-making processes at multiple levels of social organizations. This alternative approach could be an effective instrument to facilitate the deliberations of stakeholders and to strengthen institutional linkages to engender benefits to the local resource users.

▼ Community gardens are places where people connect, share, and engage their social and ecological communities. The purpose of this thesis was to document and communicate participants’ experiences of community-building through community gardening in Kenora, Ontario, Canada. The primary method used was Photovoice, whereby a group of twelve participants shared photos and stories of their garden communities in a series of workshops. Follow-up interviews were used to get participant feedback on the Photovoice process and fill gaps in the data, while participant observation was used to triangulate data. Results suggest a uniquely relational perspective of community gardening, the significance of sharing and learning in the garden, as well as success with and barriers to social capital and ecological citizenship among gardeners. Of particular importance, future garden initiatives should facilitate opportunities for intergenerational bonding, connecting across community gardens, building gardens in accessible locations, addressing systemic barriers to inclusion, and conducting further community-based research.

▼ This thesis focuses on contemporary participatory performance in which participation is facilitated awkwardly, and in which awkward modes of participation are welcomed and encouraged. My use of the term 'awkward' here is not so much in reference to embarrassment, uneasiness, or social faux-par, though I do observe and critically respond to such phenomena throughout. Instead, the term 'awkward' is predominantly employed as an adjective in line with the dictionary definition 'causing difficulty; hard to do or deal with' or 'not smooth or graceful; ungainly'. Such awkwardness is framed as productive because of its disruptive relation with the smooth running of inter-relational encounters. These disruptions, I argue, in turn encourage critical reflection on our co-presence with others without removing us from that co-presence. Thus it allows for necessary affective and critical work to occur within the participatory performance itself as opposed to being delegated to those not involved and encountering the performances through secondary sources. This focus on awkwardness in contemporary participatory performance occurs in response to what art critic Claire Bishop and others have defined as the 'Social Turn' in art and performance. This 'turn' refers to the increased critical, curatorial and cultural attention given to socially engaged, participatory and relational art practices since the late 1990s. The key aim of this project is to refocus this attention onto practitioners that, in my reading, have a productively awkward relation with its rhetoric, ideologies and socio-politics. My approach to these practices is often supported by the writings of Slavoj Žižek, especially his employment and supplement of Lacanian psychoanalysis. His theories of the 'big Other' and its 'super-egoic injunctions', of over-identification, of the 'real', 'symbolic' and 'imaginary' registers that structure our reality are worked-through as I develop my own theories of agency, reality and fantasy, desire, and socio-political efficacy through critical engagement with awkward participatory performance.

▼ This thesis examines three uniquely different community engagement methods that explore the relationship between community values and the physical landscape in two Appalachian communities; Austinville, VA and St. Paul, VA. Each community engagement method is 1) introduced via literature review/case study, 2) modified from the case study to suit local conditions, and 3) analyzed for effectiveness in connecting local values and the physical landscape. I then reflected on this academic research through the lens of a three-year employment as a community development and natural asset planner with a 501(c)3 non-profit in southwest Virginia. The professional experience revealed five community systems that impacted the overall effectiveness of community engagement processes and had the potential to position communities, and their public projects, for a higher level of success. The community systems included: Capacity and Readiness, Involvement, Leadership, Communication, Frame of Reference and Community Vision. Research and professional practice together suggested that an intentional effort to understand and incorporate community values via community engagement ultimately led to more meaningful designs in the public sector.

▼ Observations over recent years of New Zealand architectural practice indicate that there is growing interest in tikanga Māori in architecture and design practice.
With significant opportunities now available to support Māori in realising their housing and infrastructural aspirations, there is much discussion surrounding the role of the architect, and how they conduct themselves when working with mana whenua (partisan identifiable tribal groups who hold customary authority over Māori freehold land).
Most agree that working with mana whenua requires a collaborative approach, added to that, an approach that sees significant end user engagement.
To this affect, end user engagement within the design process is the primary
subject of the research.
The largely Māori settlement of Kohupātiki is the proposed site for this research. Given the interests of this research and its focus on Māori communities, it is quite appropriate that Kohupātiki be the selected site to drive this research.
The community is made up of 4 main families; the Rapanas, Chadwicks, Punas, and Broughtons, all of whom have a vested (customary) interest in the site as it is potentially about to undergo significant transformations over the next 10-20 years.
Some of these transformations include the improvement of road access to the site, the development of a series of Papakāinga (housing developments on Māori land), and a number of refurbishments to significant communal facilities located on the site’s Marae settlement.
These developments offer significant opportunities for architectural and landscape intervention, and will serve as a vehicle to drive a
participatory design process.

▼ Résumé[Insérez votre résumé en français ici. 1700 caractères recommandés, 4000 maximum, espaces compris]Le développement des pratiques participatives dans les institutions publiques reflète aussi bien une tendance des citoyens des démocraties du 21ème siècle à ne pas vouloir se satisfaire de la représentation qu'une tendance des représentants à vouloir regagner en légitimité par des politiques de proximité. L'institutionnalisation de la participation tend alors à la réduire soit à de simples développements d'outils et de procédures, soit à des espaces ou des projets pré et très délimités. Entre inutilité et instrumentalisation, la participation interroge la possibilité pour une institution d'être un lieu dans lequel ou par lequel les citoyens peuvent gagner un pouvoir d'agir, non pas seulement en démocratie mais sur la démocratie. Cette thèse étudie cette question à travers le cas des bibliothèques municipales. L'étude des intentions des bibliothécaires dans le développement de ces pratiques et la contextualisation de ces intentions par rapport à des crises que traversent la société comme les bibliothèques permet de comprendre l'accroissement de ces pratiques.L'étude des limites de ces pratiques participatives vis-à-vis de ces intentions par rapport à des enjeux en termes d'action politique des citoyens permet de questionner les effets de la participation et le rôle politique de la bibliothèque. Et enfin, l'étude des transformations du métier de bibliothécaire, abouties ou en cours, ouvre des perspectives sur le rapport de l'émancipation à l'expérience, à la prescription et au témoignage, pour penser les acteurs des politiques culturelles aussi bien dans l'espace que dans le temps. A travers cette étude se dessine une bibliothèque capable de faire un lien entre institution et événement, au sens de Merleau-Ponty, et renouveler dans chaque expérience de la participation des moments et des espaces d'égalité et de liberté, pour une mobilisation collective des citoyens dans la transformation de la démocratie.
Abstract[Insert your abstract in English here, up to 4000 characters, spaces included]The development of participatory practices in public institutions reflects both a tendency of citizens of 21st century democracies to find the system of representative democracy unsatisfactory, and a tendency of elected representatives to seek legitimacy through hyper local politics. Institutionalizing participation limits it to the development of tools and procedures, or to pre-defined spaces or on pre-ordained projects. Institutionalized participation is therefore subject to two risks: being useless for participants or turning participants into puppets of the institution. How can an institution negate these risks and be a place in which or through which citizens can gain the power to act, in the democracy and on their democracy? This dissertation examines participatory practices in municipal libraries. First, by conducting research on the librarians' intentions in the development of participatory practices and the…

▼ Documentary Access is a practice-based analysis of the issue of access in the observational and participatory documentary filmmaking modes (as proposed by documentary theorist Bill Nichols in Representing Reality [Nichols 1991]) and the meeting of stakeholder expectations. Nichols’ modes identify particular traits and conventions of different documentary styles.
Access is central to the observational and participatory modes because content and narrative form is derived from the filmmaker’s direct and unscripted access to people, events and places. The analyses of what this access signifies in a formalised filmic sense, provides a key to understanding what the recorded content delivers in terms of the filmic narrative, stakeholder expectations and possible conflicts between these two elements.
The study is based on methodologies developed and data gathered during the creation of a fifty-two minute broadcast documentary Community Cop (Gaynor 2009). The creative work follows the Community Liaison Officer at the Flemington Police station and members of the local African Australian community as they strive to resolve long term conflicts.
The field study and dissertation reveal and analyse issues in the evaluation of access from both a filmic and stakeholder perspective that can have serious implications for filmmakers working in the observational and participatory modes. This dissertation proposes a set of references for analysing types and implications of access and proposes a set of responses to the often-inevitable clash between proposition and actuality in these modes.

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine the ways in which public contributions, as part of a larger public participation program, can shape the use of the Canadian Water Sustainability Index (CWSI) and increase its relevance to the communities for which it is used. A case study in the Clear Lake watershed in Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP), in Manitoba, was undertaken in which stakeholder and partner perceptions, knowledge, concerns and priorities were gathered through a questionnaire and interviews from August to November 2009. This information provided a lens through which the CWSI could be viewed regarding its social relevancy. Public consultation highlighted four main areas of interest upon which indicators can be focused: bottled water use; well water reliance; water conservation and efficiency; and communications. While the identification and development of indicators will be led primarily by RMNP, the indicators will be used in monitoring, reporting, and communicating within the watershed community. Socially relevant indicators are intended to complement scientific indicators concurrently being developed for the Clear Lake watershed. Public participation increased the relevancy of the CWSI to suit local needs, although the participative process was limited by time, complexity of the information, and a necessarily broad survey.
