ABSTRACT

Small towns possess many of the components needed for stakeholder-led governance models, including strong social ties, frequent interactions and social norms that support participation in civic life. This study seeks to better understand civic engagement with housing decision-making in rural small towns. We examine the diversity of actively engaged stakeholder groups and the ways in which stakeholder participation is related to community characteristics using survey responses from representatives of 164 small towns within one Southeastern state. For the small towns in our study, population size, limited administrative capacity and access to human capital resources were associated with fewer engaged stakeholder groups. Relatively few stakeholder groups were involved in housing decision-making on average and those experiencing the greatest disadvantage were likely not at the table. This research adds to the limited body of research on civic engagement by exploring stakeholder engagement in housing decisions and policies in small towns using a unique dataset. Our study highlights the ways in which the potential for civic engagement in small towns is hindered, limiting the capacity and equity of housing policy among rural communities that likely have an array of housing problems. Understanding how and why local governments in small towns engage stakeholder groups for housing planning and decision-making is an area for future research.

谁在桌子上?公民参与小镇住房决策

摘要

小城镇拥有利益相关者主导的治理模式所需的许多组成部分,包括强大的社会联系、频繁的互动和支持参与公民生活的社会规范。本研究旨在更好地了解公民对农村小城镇住房决策的参与。我们使用东南部一个州内 164 个小镇代表的调查回复,研究了积极参与的利益相关者群体的多样性以及利益相关者参与与社区特征相关的方式。对于我们研究中的小城镇,人口规模、有限的行政能力和获得人力资本资源的机会与较少参与的利益相关者群体有关。平均而言,参与住房决策的利益相关者群体相对较少,处于劣势的群体可能不会参与讨论。这项研究通过使用独特的数据集探索利益相关者对小城镇住房决策和政策的参与,增加了有限的公民参与研究。我们的研究强调了小城镇公民参与潜力受到阻碍的方式,限制了可能存在一系列住房问题的农村社区的住房政策的能力和公平性。了解小城镇的地方政府如何以及为何让利益相关者群体参与住房规划和决策是未来研究的一个领域。这项研究通过使用独特的数据集探索利益相关者对小城镇住房决策和政策的参与,增加了有限的公民参与研究。我们的研究强调了小城镇公民参与潜力受到阻碍的方式,限制了可能存在一系列住房问题的农村社区的住房政策的能力和公平性。了解小城镇的地方政府如何以及为何让利益相关者群体参与住房规划和决策是未来研究的一个领域。这项研究通过使用独特的数据集探索利益相关者对小城镇住房决策和政策的参与,增加了有限的公民参与研究。我们的研究强调了小城镇公民参与潜力受到阻碍的方式,限制了可能存在一系列住房问题的农村社区的住房政策的能力和公平性。了解小城镇的地方政府如何以及为何让利益相关者群体参与住房规划和决策是未来研究的一个领域。在可能存在一系列住房问题的农村社区中限制住房政策的能力和公平性。了解小城镇的地方政府如何以及为何让利益相关者群体参与住房规划和决策是未来研究的一个领域。在可能存在一系列住房问题的农村社区中限制住房政策的能力和公平性。了解小城镇的地方政府如何以及为何让利益相关者群体参与住房规划和决策是未来研究的一个领域。
