ABSTRACT Research shows a gap regarding knowledge about the diffusion of e-participation projects actually implemented in local contexts. This study provides an approach that allows for collecting exhaustive data on e-participation projects for specific political units. It enables an analysis of its implementation over time and regarding explanatory factors. By applying the approach to a local unit with almost 400 municipalities, we discuss its opportunities and limitations. We present a feasible method to develop a quantitative data set of the diffusion of specific, implemented e-participation projects; however, its capacity to explain this process in detail is limited.

地方一级的电子参与–研究其实施情况的普查方法

摘要研究表明，有关在本地实际实施的电子参与项目的传播知识方面存在空白。这项研究提供了一种方法，可以收集有关特定政治部门的电子参与项目的详尽数据。它使得随着时间的流逝以及有关解释性因素的分析成为可能。通过将方法应用于拥有近400个城市的本地单位，我们讨论了其机会和局限性。我们提出了一种可行的方法来开发定量的，具体实施的电子参与项目扩散的数据集；但是，它详细解释此过程的能力有限。
