Experimental participation
The experimental participation method is one amongst other methods to determine legal aspects. It is is a participatory process, where the future residents are able to influence the decisions on their future living environment. They are influencing the planning and construction from the very beginning on a collaborative basis, and help produce building guidelines, which usually come "from above". A particular aim is to foster smaller-scale resident participation which should be implemented to improve the quality of the living environments (e.g. planning of recreational areas, green structures) in areas already built.
Process
A project coordinator serves as a link between the residents and the city.
Learning is a central aspect of the process. Usually future residents of a new housing area are rather unfamiliar with the broad range of aspects related to the (re-)planning of such areas, thus, the collaborative character of participation is grounded on preparatory information and the identificaiton of possible problems (also in planning). The aim is to achieve decisions by consensus, which are later adopted by the city and contribute to future problem solving.
The method’s empowerment is that participants get the chance to influence many of visual and functional aspects for their future surroundings throughout the planning process.
Help in addressing cultural/ethical aspects in planning of secure public spaces
- Address unfamiliarity with the wide range of aspects related to the planning of a new housing area
- Foster learning
- Contribute to future problem-solving, creating a feeling of safety and a good general atmosphere
- Contribute to empowerment, showing citizens how they are able to influence many of the visual and functional aspects of their future neighborhood
