  1. Local Citizen Panels (CP) – A Means to Broad and Sustainable Citizen Participation Dr. Kai Masser Current Applications • Citizens based budgeting • Promoting “sound” regional (economic) development Web: http://www.foev-speyer.de/buergerpanel

  2. The „Speyer CP Model“ A Dialogue Oriented Citizen‘s Participation Measure

  3. Four Inevitable Principles • Representativeness: Accurate picture of the population of the city (age, sex, education) • Openness: Everyone can join in • Low threshold: Not much time needed and no specific knowledge or competence; no further obligations nor duties • Flexibility: More intensive participation measures can be added; with support by CP Kai Masser - Local Citizen Panels

  4. To meet all four requirements at the same time.. .. a special CP/survey design was needed

  5. The Speyer „CP Model“ • Regular Citizen‘s Surveys (2 or more a year): • Closed channel: Representative random sample / with PINs • Open channel: The surveys are announced to the public via every possible way (news papers, radio, tv, city hompage, flyers etc.pp.). Every citizen can join in (preferably via www) 1 Kai Masser - Local Citizen Panels

  6. CP Membership: • Every participant can register (e-Mail or postal address) as a CP Member. CP members get information about the survey results and every forthcoming survey • CP members are also invited to other CP activities, e.g. survey result presentations and discussions, the development of questionnaires (for the forthcoming surveys) and • Other forms of citizen‘s participation 2 Kai Masser - Local Citizen Panels

  7. Opportunity • Representative (only) “Online-Surveys” • Based on the CP-Members and • An adequate weighting of cases • “Volunteers” are still welcome • But the “system” has to be calibrated, that is • After three or four years a new representative sample is necessary Kai Masser - Local Citizen Panels

  8. Feedback: • Not only the CP members are informed about the survey results, but also the broader public via the (local) press • All responsible official bodies (councils, offices and boards) should take note of the survey results and discuss them. The public should be informed about the outcome of these discussions • If possible or necessary, officials should discuss the results and subsequent measures with citizens 3 Kai Masser - Local Citizen Panels
