“…Social participation is the active involvement of individuals in the collective actions undertaken by the communities to which they belong, or in which they live. Specifically, these measures include active participation in the creation and operations of civic groups and non-governmental organizations, as well as participation in the decision-making process and social, public, and political affairs [10][11][12][13]. Social participation can be defined as the process of building relationships and forming bonds at the local community level [14,15].…”

“…Local community members are increasingly involved in various areas of urban life [11,16]. The above is dictated by growing social needs, higher awareness of community members who want to actively participate in planning and decision-making processes, and potential conflicts with the local authorities who fail to initiate urban planning measures [10,14,17,18]. E-government is a general term that describes web-based services launched by the respective agencies of local, regional, and national governments [19].…”

A smart city is one of the latest concepts in the development of modern cities. It has evolved from the foregoing smart cities 1.0 and 2.0 to the smart city 3.0, where members of the local community play the main role as not only the recipients of the introduced changes and modern technology, but also as the creators of urban space. One of the goals of a smart city 3.0 is to promote sustainable urban development by improving the quality of life, enhancing social participation, and involving local community members in planning and decision-making processes. This study set out to determine the role and significance of e-participation methods in the smart city concept. The results of questionnaires exploring the importance of e-participation in urban development are presented. The paper also discusses changes in the availability of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Poland. The secondary goal was to present the geo-questionnaire and Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) as modern research tools. Internet tools based on geoinformation systems have considerable potential for mobilizing social participation in spatial planning (Public Participation GIS). The present study postulates the need for modern social participation methods in shaping urban space and promoting the sustainable development of cities. The study highlights the main challenges in the research process. The cooperation between the authorities and the citizens contributes to the development of a civil society, informed decision-making, social involvement in public life, and more effective governance at the local, regional, and national level. Measures that foster cooperation between the authorities and local communities, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), and growing social awareness and social participation in managing development are the components of a modern smart city and the building blocks of an e-society. The study also revealed positive changes in access to ICT and their contribution to bridging the digital divide in Poland. Higher levels of social awareness regarding participation and e-participation promote the growth of smart cities.

“…Among these tools, social participation stands out and it is defined as a human right that is relevant to any individual (G omez et al, 2008) because the intelligent management of public resources has become a concern that is relevant to the governmental sphere (Cadena et al, 2012). Szczurek-Boruta (2020) emphasises that social participation refers to the participation of individuals in the creation of events and situations in communities that live and participate in decision-making processes, public, social and political issues (Szarek-Iwaniuk and Senetra, 2020;Falanga, 2020). Social participation has grown over time and this is considered relevant for the development of the democratic process in public management (Harrison et al, 2012;Buele and Pablo, 2016).…”

Purpose The participation of society is a valuable aspect of the governability of cities, for it strengthens the citizens’ collaborative component. Such participation, which is seen as social, is considered an essential element for the design of a smart city. This study aims to identify the factors that contribute to social participation in the definition of budgetary instruments’ planning. Design/methodology/approach Concerning the methodological instruments, this study is characterised by a quantitative and descriptive approach and uses a multivariate data analysis with a sample of 235 respondents. Findings The study’s findings identified a framework that portrays elements that collaborate with the social participation in the definition of the public administration’s budgetary instruments, which are considered as elements that are able to develop the role of the popular participation and are characterised by the definition of a smart city by enabling more assertiveness in society’s needs. Practical implications Identification of a framework that brings out elements that are able to develop the popular participation in the definition of budgetary instruments. Then, one scale of elements that contribute to social participation in the definition of the public administration’s budgetary instruments theoretically represented and statistically validated, thus contributing to the continuity of studies on social participation. Social implications Through studies on social participation in budgetary planning, it is possible to guarantee a better allocation of public resources through intelligent governability. Originality/value The research can bring theoretical elements about social participation in the definition of budget instruments for a statistical convergence through the perception of the sample.
