“…As we have demonstrated, local-level stakeholders submitted (only) 19% of the comments on MPs, and were thus considerably less active than e. g. the State Forests; and of these comments by local stakeholders, barely half came directly from the people concerned. Even though participation is not a universal solution to solve the challenges posed by biodiversity management (Lawrence 2008;Wallner & Wiesmann 2009), we have to bear in mind that in post-socialist countries such as Poland, public consultation generally (i. e. not only in the case of nature conservation) is still far from the desired level, is often criticized for being too formalized and superficial, and is not properly addressed or managed (Pawłowska & Staniewska 2014;Kotus 2013;Damurski 2012).…”

Natura 2000 sites in the Polish Carpathians vs local development: inevitable conflict?

This paper discusses the results of a study on the influence of Natura 2000 sites on local development, as emerge from analyses of the content of Management Plans (MPs) for 40 sites located in the Polish Carpathians, as well as from case studies and documentary evidence, including administrative decisions connected with Natura 2000. Particular attention is given to those topics and stakeholders that dominate the public debate on MPs, potential and existing threats as identified in MPs, implementation suggestions for local plans and strategies, and how regulations are applied during the realization of any spatial development. The main findings suggest that Natura 2000 acts as a break on proposed spatial development only in very specific locations where high biological values meet sports facilities and settlement development pressure. Nevertheless, large-scale conflicts could potentially appear in forestry and the management of waterways.

“…The source code for the geo‐questionnaire developed in this study was written by modifying the original open source code used in the studies by Kyttä and her colleagues (Kyttä et al ). The original code was created in a development process focused on user needs (Czepkiewicz and Snabb ) by a multidisciplinary team including researchers, urban planners, and GIS and IT specialists, with feedback from invited prospective users (Kahila ).…”

“…The research reported herein follows the Web‐based approach to PPGIS and focuses on a particular method of soliciting and collecting public input on land use and development preferences. The method is called geo‐questionnaire and its roots are in the work of Kyttä and colleagues who have used it in the context of urban planning and environmental psychology as part of the softGIS methodology (Kahila and Kyttä , Kyttä et al , Schmidt‐Thomé et al ). Geo‐questionnaire belongs to the category of Computer‐Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) methods aimed at collecting qualitative and quantitative data from a broad group of respondents.…”

“…In softGIS , geo‐questionnaires have been used to elicit spatial distribution of activities and quality factors (i.e. personally meaningful qualities of the environment) (Kyttä et al ) and to facilitate integrating local knowledge into the participatory planning process (Rantanen and Kahila ). Similar tools have been used in other application domains including conservation planning (e.g.…”

Geo-questionnaire involves an integration of sketchable maps with questions, aimed at eliciting public preferences and attitudes about land allocation and services. Respondents can link their answers with corresponding locations on a map by marking points or sketching polygon features. Geo-questionnaires have been used to learn about perceptions and preferences of city residents for specific types of land use, placebased services, and development projects. This article reports on results of an empirical study, in which an online geo-questionnaire was designed and implemented to elicit preferences of residents in guiding an urban development plan. Preferences collected in the form of polygon sketches were processed using GIS operations and mapped for visual interpretation. The article focuses on aggregation and analysis of respondent preferences including the analysis of positional and attribute uncertainty. Results of the study show that geo-questionnaire is a scalable method for eliciting public preferences with a potential for meaningfully informing land use planning.

“…The active participation of inhabitants in managing certain issues directly related to their community is widely recognised as the foundation of a civil society. Owing to this, it becomes possible to create an effective system able to satisfy the needs of the local population, strengthen bottom-up initiatives, and build trust in local authorities (Kotus, 2013;Shah, 2007). Public participation is defined as any kind of partnership between local government and inhabitants based on involving the inhabitants in managing their municipality.…”

AbstractThe main purpose of the research is to address the real, operational context of participatory budgeting. It is argued that this method of budgeting might be a useful tool for developing various ideas at a local level, including social/spatial justice, civil society, human capital, information society, or sustainable development. However, the implementation of participatory budgeting might, conversely, result from development processes. A combination of quantitative methods (principal component analysis and regression analysis) was applied to define the real motives for local authorities to employ participatory budgeting. To address the research questions mentioned in the paper, all rural communes employing participatory budgeting in Poland in 2017 were investigated. It was confirmed that participatory budgeting is an effect of development processes rather than a tool for achieving development goals. Interestingly, social/spatial injustice might significantly stimulate inhabitants’ engagement in participatory budgeting. On the other hand, the development of information society supports processes related to social involvement, including participatory budgeting.
