"A Deliberative Poll on Education Policy in Northern Ireland","nibleys","Before making the education policy adjustments which had become essential due to low pupil turnout, the Department of Education in Northern Ireland sought to pay attention to the views of the parents. The goal was to create the required new rules within an atmosphere of cooperation. To attain this cooperation, a deliberative poll was held in Omagh, Northern Ireland in January 2007. 565 randomly selected parents were polled and then invited to Omagh College for a day of deliberation. 127 participants were given briefing materials on education policy. Parents engaged in small group discussions which were controlled by moderators, while at the same time a panel of experts answered their questions.  Following the deliberative process, the parents were polled again to see how their opinions had changed.","SummaryBefore making the education policy adjustments which had become essential due to low pupil turnout, the Department of Education in Northern Ireland sought to pay attention to the views of the parents.

With this in mind, the Canada Bay Council partnered with numerous groups such as Straight Talk and newDemocracy to create a panel of 36 randomly chosen individuals that was responsible for making the best decisions for the society as a whole. 1,500 surveys were created and distributed from the Council to citizens from the electoral roll, which is where the 36 random individuals were chosen. The panel met on 5 different occasions across a 2 ½ month period and was responsible for evaluating city services and creating a new system that included a projected 4-year plan with a $300 million budget. In more detail, the panel reviewed the standard and level of discretionary and mandatory services, as well as funding mechanisms. As a group, the panel was successfully able to identify services that were previously overlooked by the Council, reduced a number of overused services, recognized a shortage in funding for long-term maintenance and most importantly, found some new sources of revenue. All of these results were packaged together in a 45-page summary with further evaluations of the Council’s current operations. This summary was forwarded to the City Council and mayor for further evaluation and hopefully, approval.","In 2012, the City of Canada Bay Council proposed an innovative method of deliberative democracy  to obtain the advice of citizens in making decisions for the range and quality of council services for the period 2014-18.

"GAMBA patient and citizen panels","ScienceDialogue.de","Patient and Citizen Panels in three countries
<!--break-->
A key element of this project is the involvement of members of society into the research on innovative treatments of arthritis. We will set up a two-way dialogue at eye level between patients / citizens and leading European scientists in three European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Ireland). In the so-called patient and citizen panels (about 3 to 4 days) participants are first introduced to the field of innovative research on arthritis through expert presentations and a hearing with experts selected by the participants. In a second step, participants negotiate about this input and then compile patient-/ citizen-reports supported by independent facilitators. Therefore, the main objective of this work package is to discuss the chances, risks and ethical aspects of innovative arthritis treatments with lay people and to develop communication strategies to provide clinics, interested companies as well as the media and a broader public with balanced, professionally developed and scientifically sound information.
<!--break-->
Two main questions will be answered by the dialogue measures:
<!--break-->
1)    What do lay people (patients / citizens) want to know about GAMBA? What are their associations with GAMBA? What specific topics are they interested in from their special point of view as concerned patients / interested citizens?<!--break-->
2)    What are lay people’s recommendations to the scientific world, to regulators, industry and media regarding the chances, risks, ethical/social aspects of GAMBA?

"Participatory Planning Workshop in Zola Predosa","Karlobergine","Zola Predosa is an Italian town of 18,077 inhabitants which is located in the province of Bologna. In 2007, a decision was approved by the Zola Predosa Administration to go through with a construction project that aimed to renew and build housing in an underdeveloped area.  Some of the locals of Zola Predosa were baffled at the decision and expressed discontent due to the project’s impact on traffic and the environment. As a response, the Zola Predosa Administration designed a Participatory Planning Workshop (PPA). Through this participatory process, the Zola Predosa Administration sought to increase the awareness of the locals, get their suggestions and ultimately to carry out the construction project with more public support. Despite the presence of willing participants and experts who provided information, the participatory workshop failed to reach its stated goals. The legitimacy of the process fell into question and dissatisfied participants quit the process. Hence, this is an interesting case of failure in participatory activities. This article summarizes the participatory project and elaborates on the reasons why the process has failed. The case study seeks to shed light on the important pre-conditions that must exist for any participation process to succeed."," SummaryZola Predosa is an Italian town of 18,077 inhabitants which is located in the province of Bologna.

"Use of Delphi Method to Develop a Horse Control Strategy","brydon","The rural area surrounding Penticton, British Columbia, Canada is invaded each winter by herds of roaming horses.  Some of the horses belong to members of the neighboring Penticton Indian Band; however, ownership, jurisdiction, a responsibility for the problem has been disputed for decades. This report describes the use of a Delphi-based approach to engage the public in the search for a solution.  Two distinct Delphi surveys were deployed: The first was directed at eliciting fundamental objectives for the overall decision process.  It was not clear at the outset, for example, whether residents were concerned about the horses themselves or whether they would be willing to incur costs to address the problem.  The second Delphi survey was conducted to elicit possible solutions consistent with the fundamental objectives identified in the first Delphi.  Roaming horses is a novel problem with no well established government responses.  Accordingly, the second Delphi was meant to elicit creative ideas from a range of residents with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

The experiment shows that (a) web-based survey techniques can be used to conduct relatively large-scale Delphi surveys and (b) some learning within the Delphi panel did occur during the multiple rounds of the survey.  This learning is evidenced by reduction in variance around means and some reduction in bi-modality.","Problems and Purpose The purpose of this document is to summarize the results of an exercise in small-scale, intensive public consultation regarding the problem of roaming horses on the West side of Okanagan Lake above Penticton.  A Delphi approach using...","Tue, 03/12/2013 - 10:02","Canada","No","","","Other","academic researcher/politician","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation, Express opinions/preferences only, Other","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City), Academic Institution","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Raise public awareness, Community building (e.g. social capital), Develop individual capacities (e.g. skills, learning)","Open to all with targeted recruitment","Delphi Method","Local (e.g. Neighbourhood, City/Town, Metropolitan Area)","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City)","Academic Institution","Yes"
