Abstract and Figures

This article differentiates between descriptive and explanatory factors to develop a typology and a theory of stakeholder and public engagement. The typology describes different types of public and stakeholder engagement, and the theory comprises four factors that explain much of the variation in outcomes (for the natural environment and/or for participants) between different types of engagement. First, we use a narrative literature search to develop a new typology of stakeholder and public engagement based on agency (who initiates and leads engagement) and mode of engagement (from communication to coproduction). We then propose a theory to explain the variation in outcomes from different types of engagement: (1) a number of socioeconomic, cultural, and institutional contextual factors influence the outcomes of engagement; (2) there are a number of process design factors that can increase the likelihood that engagement leads to desired outcomes, across a wide range of sociocultural, political, economic, and biophysical contexts; (3) the effectiveness of engagement is significantly influenced by power dynamics, the values of participants, and their epistemologies, that is, the way they construct knowledge and which types of knowledge they consider valid; and (4) engagement processes work differently and can lead to different outcomes when they operate over different spatial and temporal scales. We use the theoretical framework to provide practical guidance for those designing engagement processes, arguing that a theoretically informed approach to stakeholder and public engagement has the potential to markedly improve the outcomes of environmental decision-making processes.

... Participation generally refers to a person's involvement in a particular action (Mubita et al., 2017). A comprehensive definition of participation is the passive or active participation process by individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, or stakeholders in decision-making (Reed et al., 2018). Community participation is a broad process involving specific actions, such as identifying and managing opportunities and issues within the community (Purboningsih et al., 2024). ...
... First, an efficacious participation process should be comprehensible to participants and value all perspectives. This entails tackling communication and comprehension challenges at the cognitive level, delving into underlying beliefs and values through deeper learning, and examining post-participants' attitudes and stances to ensure alignment with environmental values (Reed et al., 2018). As a result, descriptive instructions convey the post-participants' perspectives, effectively communicating their intentions and objectives through detailed process descriptions, illustrative examples, and relevant contextual information. ...

Digital citizen participation tools revolutionize how residents engage with urban issues, enabling unprecedented levels of collective discourse and large-scale involvement. These tools are essential for advancing urban design and planning through individual and asynchronous contributions. However, their inherent complexity often poses significant challenges for users. To mitigate this, developers and practitioners equip these platforms with user instructions aimed at simplifying navigation. Despite these efforts, the strategies for communicating the functionality and objectives of these tools, as well as their impact on participation processes, are not well understood. Accordingly, this study investigates the influence of different types of user instructions—descriptive versus non-descriptive—on users’ perceived reliability of digital participation platforms. Conducted in three phases—pre-participation, participation, and post-participation—the research involved modifying a digital tool and testing it with 47 university students engaged in a campus transformation project in Singapore using the Consul Project digital platform. The evaluation, carried out through surveys and semi-structured interviews in the post-participation phase, reveals that well-crafted descriptive instructions, which contain clear objectives, step-by-step guidance, and contextual information, significantly boost participants’ trust and engagement levels. Consequently, our findings underscore the importance of carefully designed user instructions in enhancing the effectiveness of digital citizen participation in urban design and planning.
... The latter aspect is the bridging factor between participation and policy impact. However, far from being a panacea, the successful delivery of participation "promises" is heavily context-and process-dependent (d 'Hont and Slinger, 2022;Reed et al., 2017;Sarmiento et al., 2020). Narrowing down the aforementioned discussion, here we focus on the expected benefits of participation in model-based policy discussion settings around socio-environmental issues (Bots and van Daalen, 2008). ...

Problems manifested within social-ecological systems (SES) exhibit dynamic complexity and hold implications for current and future human well-being and environmental sustainability. The complexity of these issues, the ever-present uncertainty inherent to SES, and the multi-stakeholder settings in which they are discussed call for participatory modelling to support decision-making on socio-environmental issues. Yet, this challenging endeavour requires a structured approach-a modelling cycle-to facilitate engagement with the implications of participation and uncertainty as focal points for Good Modelling Practice (GMP). Here we propose an integrated policy analysis framework for SES modelling using System Dynamics (SD). This framework stems from integrating two existing modelling cycles that individually consider participation and uncertainty in SD modelling. Three global modelling phases and a set of tools to address the participation and uncertainty features in SES modelling are distinguished. The framework contributes to mainstreaming GMP, offering a structured model-based approach to enhance the robustness and social acceptance of policies on critical socio-environmental issues.
... 1.2 | Polycentric groundwater governance in the U.S.: A system of self-rule Polycentric water governance has been purported to be more adaptive to water-related crises (Pahl-Wostl & Knieper, 2023). Reed et al. (2018) suggest that this is because environmental management is improved when decision-making authority is shared with the actors who are responsible for implementation. Polycentric water governance arrangements are more capable of adapting to climate change than fragmented or centralized regimes which are comparatively less flexible (Pahl-Wostl & Knieper, 2014). ...

This study considers how and why agricultural groundwater users would limit their own water consumption. We find that voluntary governance arrangements are based on a form of legitimacy that stems from informal social processes. Agricultural irrigation reform in Nebraska, U.S. took place after decades of collaboration in informal social settings; this background of decentralized rulemaking contributed to legitimizing extraction limits in times of water stress. The dimensions of social legitimacy are assessed through triangulation of interview data, integrated management plans, workshop facilitation, and recordings of legal proceedings related to the Natural Resources Districts in the state of Nebraska. These districts initially placed voluntary limits on extraction but evolved to sanction violators for over-consumption. Groundwater rules are accepted because they are set by publicly elected boards, leaders participate in a state-wide leadership training network, and the districts are granted rule-making authority by the state. Our results show that voluntary self-limiting behavior can form the basis for binding legal requirements. The legitimacy of polycentric governance stems from social acceptance, inclusive membership, a prior history of collaboration, and an understanding of rules. The rules themselves are context-specific and self-made. We summarize these elements in an evaluation framework to test whether and how authority in other polycentric groundwater governance arrangements is justified and accepted.
... Plus largement, ce modèle participatif, censé réunir chercheurs et citoyens ou populations directement concernées par la conduite du projet, reviendrait à mettre en oeuvre une "stratégie planifiée d'investigation et d'intervention scientifique" dans le cadre d'une "stratégie d'intégration des connaissances visant à accroître le niveau de compétence des participants afin d'apporter des solutions innovantes, efficaces et efficientes aux problèmes" (Lefrançois, 1997). 6 Cette définition met en évidence le potentiel de l'approche collaborative, concept antérieur à ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui la recherche participative (MacDonald C., 2012 ;Reed et al., 2018), dans la mesure où elle réunit des acteurs sociaux et des chercheurs de divers horizons. L'aspect interdisciplinaire est également un élément majeur de cette approche. ...

Cet article propose une présentation et un retour d’expérience empirique à propos d’une démarche d’action participative de co-construction, entre chercheurs et résidents de deux communes côtières de la région Hauts-de-France (Oye-Plage et Wissant), de stratégies d’adaptation au changement climatique. L’article est structuré en deux parties. La première partie présente les protocoles méthodologiques utilisés avec la description des dispositifs participatifs (réunions publiques, ateliers participatifs, suivis collaboratifs), les outils mobilisés par les chercheurs. La seconde partie propose un retour d’expérience sur ces dispositifs en mettant en avant trois principaux résultats suite à l’analyse de cette démarche participative et en soulignant les avancées et les limites de celle-ci.
Preprint
There is a lack of embedded, ethical frameworks for data governance that limit the socio-ethical dimensions of the use of data. This constraint is significant in increasingly complex digital innovation initiatives and contributes to the slow uptake of digital technologies in many contexts, highlighting the ongoing need for inclusive and responsible innovation in agri-food systems. We used an abductive reasoning approach to develop a citizen-centric data lifecycle which acknowledges that effective relationships are essential to make space for all data citizens to be equitably and ethically involved in governance and decision-making. This is supported by summary of the literature to depict the roles, responsibilities and challenges of data-citizens within data ecosystems. Use of the citizen-centric data lifecycle could accelerate digitalization efforts in the agri-food sector and position research organisations to support the primary sector through the ongoing digital transformation. It will also have value for agencies and organisations grappling with how to operationalise ethical data management practices to meet policy requirements and stakeholder expectations.

Environmental conservation groups involve people in diverse ways. These include participatory spaces where people can participate in decision-making and action and engagement processes, where groups communicate, educate, and conduct outreach to build environmental understanding and involve audiences in conservation activities. We explored the perceptions and experiences of conservation practitioners in Maine, USA, to understand their views of participation and engagement. We interviewed 21 practitioners and analysed the qualitative data using an interpretative phenomenological approach grounded in interviewees’ words and experiences. All interviewees recognised the interconnections between people, places, and the non-human world; however, individuals and the groups they work within thought about the role of people in conservation in diverse ways. Views of public stakeholders and rights holders, individual values, Indigenous knowledge, commitments to place and community, and personal experiences all influence who is involved, how people are involved, why people are involved, and what comes of people’s involvement. We conclude by discussing the implications for equitable conservation that seeks to incorporate diverse voices.

The urgency to restore ecosystems amid climate change and biodiversity loss has led to widespread engagement in habitat restoration projects. However, many projects fall short of their goals, highlighting the need for innovation. We use a case study at our university to explore how the integration of habitat restoration into university curricula might address some of the major challenges to long‐term restoration success. We demonstrate how integration with university activities could help address three key challenges in restoration: insufficient planning and monitoring, limited community engagement, and lack of long‐term funding. Our approach demonstrates how involving students and faculty in restoration projects can enhance adaptive management by including these efforts in science curricula, foster community participation through volunteer engagement, and reduce costs through volunteer efforts and collaboration with campus entities. These findings suggest that universities can play a vital role in advancing ecological restoration, benefiting both society and the environment.

The field of public engagement is experiencing a harmful identity crisis. While advocates of public participation may all agree that our work relates somehow to democracy, we have not established or articulated a common vision of what that really means. This lack of clarity has dire consequences, producing rifts between academics and practitioners, community organizers and deliberative democrats, civic technologists and dialogue practitioners, policy advocates and consensus-builders. Worst of all, the lack of clarity about democracy provides no help to people who are trying to create sustainable, participatory political systems in Egypt, Thailand, Ukraine, and many other countries. None of the participatory tactics and assets we have developed will reach their full potential if we don’t admit, to ourselves and the world, their true significance: these aren’t just props for conventional processes, but building blocks for new political systems.

Contemporary markets and societal norms externalise many ecosystem services important for a sustainable future. A range of external legal, market, social protocol and other mechanisms, referred to as ‘societal levers’, constrain or otherwise influence the behaviour of resource managers, and the expectations and assumptions of the society within which they operate. These ‘societal levers’ have progressively institutionalised evolving societal values, influencing markets and other choices. We use the STEEP (social, technological, economic, environmental and political) framework to explore case studies of societal transitions, analysing how emergent concerns become shared and ultimately transformed into ‘levers’, shifting societal norms. Emerging concerns become influential only when they are shared across societal sectors, and when broader implications are realised across multiple dimensions of the STEEP framework. We propose and advocate use of a ‘ripple effect’ of values as a means to direct and accelerate the pace at which environmental concerns shape mainstream societal norms and structures, and become institutionalised in the form of ‘societal levers’.

Engaging local stakeholders is a central feature of many biodiversity conservation and natural resource management projects globally. Current literature on engagement predominantly focuses on individual case studies or specific geographical contexts, making general conclusions regarding the effect of these efforts on conservation outcomes difficult. We reviewed evidence from the peer-reviewed and grey literatures related to the role of stakeholder engagement (both externally-driven and self-organized engagement) in biodiversity conservation at the local scale using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. We critically appraised and extracted data using mixed methods for case studies (n = 82) and meta-analyses (n = 31) published from 2011 to 2015. We conducted an inductive thematic analysis on background literature references published from 2000 to 2016 (n = 283). The quantitative analysis assessed multiple variables, and yielded no significant results, but suggested a possible relationship between success in producing attitudinal change towards conservation and four engagement factors. Our qualitative analysis identified six dimensions of engagement processes that are critical for successful outcomes when a project is externally-driven, and suggests that understanding of governance and social-cultural context plays an important role in all types of stakeholder engagement efforts. Finally, we reflect on the effectiveness of relying primarily on evidence available from published literature to understand links between conservation and stakeholder engagement, in particular with regard to self-organized engagement.
