“…Kitwood [16], however, states that a person with dementia must be recognized as a person with thoughts, emotions, wishes and thus, a person who can and should actively be included in research. Letting these aged and impaired individuals participate, is thus a way to protect their previously ignored interests [17], [18]. Span et al [19] see different roles for a person with dementia in a research project: as object of study, informant or as an actual participant.…”

Abstract. Involving all stakeholders in the design process is often seen as a necessity from both a pragmatic and a moral point of view [1]. This is always a challenging task for designers and stakeholders and therefore many participatory design methods have been developed to facilitate such a design process. The traditional participatory design methods, however, are not fully appropriate to incorporate persons with dementia [2], [3]. They create issues as they assume that the participants are cognitively able; can make use of visual and hands-on techniques; or require a high level of abstraction ability of the person with dementia.The aim of this paper is to present a number of guidelines which can be used as a starting point to set up participatory design projects with persons with dementia. This overarching set of guidelines provides for practical advice focusing on the role of the moderator, the preparation of a participatory session, the choice and adaptation of the method, the tools used, the role of each participant and the subsequent analysis. The basis for these guidelines stems from similar participatory projects with senior participants, persons with dementia and participants with aphasia or amnesia, two symptoms frequently co-occurring with dementia. All guidelines were evaluated and refined during four sessions with persons with dementia and a trusted family member. These participatory design sessions occurred in the course of the AToM project, a research and design project that tries to design an intelligent network of objects and people to ameliorate the life of persons with dementia.Keywords: participatory design 1 , persons with dementia, method, guidelines 1 We choose to use the term participatory design and not collective design or the Scandinavian tradition, being the predecessors of participatory design [4]. Neither did we use the term participative design which is set more in a UK tradition of participation and is thus less focused on co-creation [5].

“…It encourages stakeholder participation and creates realistic expectations via a networking of building trust. Involving stakeholders in the decision-making process facilitates the satisfaction of their needs (Wates, 1985;Sanoff, 1990;Towers, 1995;Al-Kodmany, 1999); moreover, active participation increases acceptance of decision-based planning (Luz, 2000, Bryner, 2001) and allows researchers and planners to access local expertise and knowledge (Roe, 2000), which, in turn, facilitates better decision-making all around. The main advantage of both approaches is that stakeholders' involvement is confirmed in the decision-making process through the collection of stakeholders preferences and the evaluation of their perception of risk.…”

Abstract.Over the last few decades, Europe has suffered from a number of severe flood events and, as a result, there has been a growing interest in probing alternative approaches to managing flood risk via prevention measures. A literature review reveals that, although in the last decades risk evaluation has been recognized as key element of risk management, and risk assessment methodologies (including risk analysis and evaluation) have been improved by including social, economic, cultural, historical and political conditions, the theoretical schemes are not yet applied in practice. One main reason for this shortcoming is that risk perception literature is mainly of universal and theoretical nature and cannot provide the necessary details to implement a comprehensive risk evaluation. This paper therefore aims to explore a procedure that allows the inclusion of stakeholders' perceptions of prevention measures in risk assessment. It proposes to adopt methods of risk communication (both one-way and two-way communication) in risk assessment with the final aim of making flood risk management more effective. The proposed procedure not only focuses on the effect of discursive risk communication on risk perception, and on achieving a shared assessment of the prevention alternatives, but also considers the effects of the communication process on perceived uncertainties, accepted risk levels, and trust in the managing institutions.The effectiveness of this combined procedure has been studied and illustrated using the example of the participatory flood prevention assessment process on the Sihl River in Zurich, Switzerland. The main findings of the case study suggest that the proposed procedure performed well, but that it needs some adaptations for it to be applicable in different contexts and to allow a (semi-) quantitative estimation of risk perception to be used as an indicator of adaptive capacity.

AIM:The aim of this research is to examine the importance of community participation in education and social infrastructure in Peri -Urban of Tirana city. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This research states that "involvement of community" is a direct response to giving the community a voice in shaping their future environment to promote urban regeneration in combination with the respecting of the principle of sustainability. RESULTS:This rich picture of community participation and urban planning brings an improver's eye to the real issue on the ground, focused mainly on the guidelines set by the European Union. The goal of the project participation which generates public space, beyond the values that carry on improving the quality of life for the citizens -can illustrate how urban regeneration projects may have a huge impact on the entire city life. The result is to create an area which improves profits and a good lifestyle; reconceptualization of investment as an investment in urban infrastructure, an investment that can have a large impact even with a relatively low cost. CONCLUSIONS:This article emphasises the need for a real metamorphose to all barriers between builders and users which must be abolished so that building and usage become two different parts, of the same planning process.
