Since 2020, UKRI/STFC’s Scientific Computing Department (SCD) have developed several remote-first public engagement activities, drawing on its long and rich history of delivering face to face public ...engagement and outreach, as part of the wider STFC programme. With COVID19 restrictions lifted in the UK, STFC has been able to resume in-person public engagement, both on site and in public places. However, this has not meant a complete return to exclusively in-person engagement, but rather, recognising the clear benefits of remote engagement to meeting our strategic public engagement aims, STFC has produced a blended programme for 2022/23, with a mixture of in-person, remote and hybrid events. This paper presents how the remote activities have evolved since their initial creation, how the remote activities have become part of a blended programme and how the in-person activities in place since before the pandemic have been improved as a result of developing the remote activities.
Over the past few decades, significant advances have been made in public engagement with, and the democratization of, science and technology. Despite notable successes, such developments have often ...struggled to enhance public trust, avert crises of expertise and democracy, and build more socially responsive and responsible science and innovation. A central reason for this is that mainstream approaches to public engagement harbor what we call “residual realist” assumptions about participation and publics. Recent coproductionist accounts in science and technology studies (STS) offer an alternative way of seeing participation as coproduced, relational, diverse, and emergent but have been somewhat reluctant to articulate what this means in practice. In this paper, we make this move by setting out a new framework of interrelating paths and associated criteria for remaking public participation with science and democracy in more experimental, reflexive, anticipatory, and responsible ways. This framework comprises four paths to: forge reflexive participatory practices that attend to their framings, emergence, uncertainties, and effects; ecologize participation through attending to the interrelations between diverse public engagements in wider systems; catalyze practices of anticipatory reflection to bring about responsible democratic innovations; and reconstitute participation as constitutive of (not separate from) systems of technoscience and democracy.
Citizen Science definition refers to activities carried out by the public voluntarily that contribute to scientific research. This definition continues to develop along with various activities and ...modes of collaboration involving professional scientists and the general public. Astronomy is one of the branches of science with the largest number of Citizen Science projects with objectives ranging from identification, and classification to involving a series of complex activities for the purpose of new discoveries. This paper explains efforts to attract public participation in the Citizen Science activities on the Total Solar Eclipse on April 20th, 2023 phenomenon by Bosscha Observatory and UNAWE Indonesia. Even though it has not yet reached the scientific contribution stage, observation activities carried out by the public have contributed to improving science literacy through a series of activities and participation carried out.
Although the successfulness of public participation projects has been studied from many different perspectives, there is a lack of knowledge of how participation influences the planning outcomes. ...Through the interview study of nine Finnish urban planning projects, we studied how the use of a digital public participation GIS tool has influenced the outcomes of urban planning. In the selected cases the information collected with a PPGIS tool has been highly valued by the planners, leading to concretely influential participation in 6 out of 9 cases. In these cases, the planners gave concrete examples of how the information had influenced the created plan or draft. We created a model that describes how the information produced by participants is traveling from the participants to the outcome of the planning process. With this model, the main factors limiting the degree of influence were recognized, and actions were presented that could increase the influence.
•67% of cases showed PPGIS concretely influencing planning outcomes.•Planners highly valued information collected with PPGIS.•PPGIS can enhance data representativeness, equality, and quality.•Better data management practices could improve the influence of participation.
En este artículo se argumenta que, con las últimas tres elecciones de magistrados de la Corte Constitucional colombiana, el balance ideológico ha impactado algunas decisiones relativas al ...reconocimiento de derechos de minorías, la participación ciudadana, al medio ambiente y a la protección de seres sintientes. Este impacto se ha generado a partir de tres estrategias: el neolegalismo y sentencias exhortativas; la creación o ampliación del test de vulnerabilidad y conexidad y la implementación de criterios de ponderación con alteraciones en el peso abstracto de los principios o de los derechos en juego. Así, a partir de la trayectoria de los magistrados y los debates y decisiones judiciales que se han producido desde este nuevo balance, se evidenciarán las principales tensiones materializadas en los ejes jurisprudenciales antes enunciados.
Created in 2015 by the United Nations Statistical Commission, the Praia Group on Governance Statistics aims “to contribute to establishing international standards and methods for the compilation of ...statistics on the major dimensions of governance”. The Praia Group has recently created two “Task Teams” led by national statistical offices from around the world – one on Non-Discrimination and Equality, and one on Participation in Political and Public Affairs – whose aim is to advance the development of international statistical guidance, standards and instruments to measure these two dimensions. This article reviews the work accomplished so far by each Task Team to develop internationally harmonized model survey questionnaires on these two dimensions, in order to enable the production of comprehensive survey-based statistics on Discrimination and Participation that are comparable across different cultures, languages and development contexts, and over time.

Today, various methods are applied to analyze the data collected through participatory mapping, including public participation GIS (PPGIS), participatory GIS (PGIS), and collecting volunteered ...geographic information (VGI). However, these methods lack an organized framework to describe and guide their systematic applications. Majority of the published articles on participatory mapping apply a specific subset of analyses that fails to situate the methods within a broader, more holistic context of research and practice. Based on the expert workshops and a literature review, we synthesized the existing analysis methods applied to the data collected through participatory mapping approaches. In this article, we present a framework of methods categorized into three phases: Explore, Explain, and Predict/Model. Identified analysis methods have been highlighted with empirical examples. The article particularly focuses on the increasing applications of online PPGIS and web-based mapping surveys for data collection. We aim to guide both novice and experienced practitioners in the field of participatory mapping. In addition to providing a holistic framework for understanding data analysis possibilities, we also discuss potential directions for future developments in analysis of participatory mapping data.
