“…Likewise, the narratives of skepticism among those working at the local level who may prefer to proceed with a checklist in hand shine light on the challenges associated with translating the concept to programs and management within at-risk communities. This is not to suggest that opportunities to engage in coproductive processes (Maiello et al 2013, Clark et al 2016) related to wildfire adaptation are not available. Rather, it appears that study participants were not evenly aware of such opportunities, and their perspectives may provide important insights that may contribute to the processes by which fire adaptation is understood and pursued.…”

ABSTRACT. Wildfire and the threat it poses to society represents an example of the complex, dynamic relationship between social and ecological systems. Increasingly, wildfire adaptation is posited as a pathway to shift the approach to fire from a suppression paradigm that seeks to control fire to a paradigm that focuses on "living with" and "adapting to" wildfire. In this study, we seek insights into what it means to adapt to wildfire from a range of stakeholders whose efforts contribute to the management of wildfire. Study participants provided insights into the meaning, relevance, and use of the concept of fire adaptation as it relates to their wildfire-related activities. A key finding of this investigation suggests that social scale is of key importance in the conceptualization and understanding of adaptation for participating stakeholders. Indeed, where you stand in terms of understandings of fire adaptation depends in large part on where you sit.

“…Co-creation and co-production scholars have predominantly researched how and which institutional elements influence co-creation, such as having a risk-averse administrative culture (Maiello et al, 2013). Institutional elements may influence the prognostic frames of involved actors in terms of how suitable co-creation is as an approach to deal with specific policy challenges.…”

“…Other examples where citizens have taken up the role of initiators in public service delivery involve participation in childcare services (Pestoff, 2006) and participation into budgeting procedures of municipalities (e.g. Ackerman, 2004;Maiello, Viegas, Frey, & Ribeiro, 2013).…”

Changing public service delivery: learning in co-creation

Co-creation -where citizens and public organizations work together to deal with societal issues -is increasingly considered as a fertile solution for various public service delivery problems. During cocreation, citizens are not mere consumers, but are actively engaged in building resilient societies. In this study, we analyze if and how state and governance traditions influence learning and policy change within a context of co-creation. We combine insights from the co-creation and learning literature. The empirical strategy is a comparative case study of co-creation examples within the welfare domain in childcare (Estonia), education (Germany) and community work (the Netherlands). We show that state and governance traditions may form an explanation for whether co-creation, learning and policy change occurs. Our paper suggests that this seems to be related to whether there is a tradition of working together with citizens and a focus on rule following or not.

“…information, opinions and data from local citizens and communities, although only three claimed to actually use it. Even when a commitment to acquire this kind of knowledge exists (Maiello, Viegas, Frey, & Ribeiro, 2013), it rarely leads to the systematized collection of information. In some cases, this was ascribed by the respondents to a lack of demand for participation on the part of the citizens.…”
