Abstract

Problem, research strategy, and findings

The current focus on power relationships in planning processes emphasizes socioeconomic characteristics of the general public, whose participation is often portrayed as one-time, idiosyncratic, nonprofessional, and relatively powerless. To shift attention to the understudied repeated participation in the general public, we distinguish serial participation as a distinct participation pattern by focusing on an underexplored group, referred to as natural joiners or usual suspects. Our analysis focuses on Jerusalem and draws on interviews with serial participators (N = 13) who participated in at least three different planning processes and with city planners (N = 19). Becoming a serial participator emerged as an evolutionary process, during which knowledge gained triggered transitional learning, manifested by a broader perspective on planning and a transition toward locality-oriented participation. Serial participators’ influence varies; it can extend beyond specific planning outcomes to the process itself and the discourse among city planners. Although it does not mitigate imbalanced power relations within the public, serial participation contributes to more balanced power relations between ordinary citizens and paid participants in planning.

Takeaway for practice

Serial participators can provide planners with valuable historical perspective, local knowledge, and participation recommendations while serving as intermediaries to the local community capable of mobilizing others and activating civic networks. Planners can nurture serial participation by encouraging repeated involvement of individuals engaged in additional community spheres or passionate “anecdotal” participants. Seeking influence and not recognition, serial participators may not always fully cooperate. Planners should invest in long-term relationships that allow for reconciling inevitable disagreements.

连续参与城市规划

摘要

问题、研究策略和发现

当前对规划过程中权力关系的关注强调了公众的社会经济特征,他们的参与通常被描述为一次性的、特殊的、非专业的和相对无能为力的。为了将注意力转移到公众中未被充分研究的重复参与上,我们将连续参与区分为一种独特的参与模式,关注一个未被充分探索的群体,称为自然加入者通常的嫌疑人。我们的分析侧重于耶路撒冷,并借鉴了对 至少参与三个不同规划过程的连续参与者( N = 13)和城市规划者( N = 19)。成为连续参与者是一个进化过程,在此过程中,获得的知识引发了过渡性学习,表现为更广泛的规划视角和向以地方为导向的参与过渡。连续参与者的影响力各不相同;它可以超越具体的规划结果,延伸到过程本身和城市规划者之间的讨论。虽然它不能缓解公众内部不平衡的权力关系,但连续参与有助于在普通公民和计划中的付费参与者之间建立更平衡的权力关系。

练习外卖

连续参与者可以为规划者提供宝贵的历史视角、当地知识和参与建议,同时充当当地社区的中介,能够动员他人并激活公民网络。规划者可以通过鼓励参与其他社区领域的个人或热情的“轶事”参与者的重复参与来培养连续参与。寻求影响而不是认可,连续参与者可能并不总是完全合作。规划者应该投资于能够调和不可避免的分歧的长期关系。
