"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.

It was organized by the New Jersey Coalition for the Public Good and was hosted in Trenton, New Jersey. The Coalition initially contacted 2,000 interest groups who would have an interest in tax reform. Eventually Coalition was able to narrow down the number to 100 with an aim towards diversity in beliefs, gender, and geography. In the end the Assembly hosted just fewer than 100 delegates. These delegates were originally shown a video on a few diverse expert opinions of New Jersey’s property tax structure. Next the delegates were given guides consisting of fact and important questions revolving around taxes in New Jersey. After being allowed an opportunity to create opinions delegates communicated in small group settings. They were each facilitated by trained facilitators; meant to guide conversation and record the viewpoints of the delegates. The purpose of the Assembly was to talk about reforms for a controversial New Jersey tax system and discuss steps that the State could take to move toward further fairness. After, the Assembly concluded The Coalition for the Public Good created a report consisting of the findings from The Assembly. This report has been shown and discussed at special meetings with the state. This Assembly has evolved into a much greater process as it now incorporates more people and more opinions state-wide.","SummaryThe New Jersey Peoples’ Tax Assembly was a deliberative event organized in 2003 by the New Jersey Coalition for the Public Good.  Its aim was to provide recommendations for specific steps leading to the reform of New Jersey’s tax system, commonly...","Tue, 01/03/2012 - 10:45","United States","No","","","Budgeting","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers)","Random Selection","Representative Town Meeting","Regional (e.g. State, Province, Autonomous Region)","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit), Philanthropic Organization (i.e. dedicated to making monetary grants or gifts)","Yes"

"Nueva línea ferroviaria de Alta Velocidad (LGV) París - Lyon ","Jorge Luis Colombo Ansaldi","Esquela para Participedia.net
Autor:			Ing. Jorge L. COLOMBO ANSALDI
Lugar y fecha:		Bologna, ITALIA, Diciembre 14 de 2011.-
_________________________________________________________________________________
PROYECTO DE LINEA FERROVIARIA DE ALTA VELOCIDAD
PARIS – ORLEANS - CLERMONT-FERRAND – LYON
FRANCIA

1.- Propósito y problema		
El propósito es la construcción de una línea ferroviaria de alta velocidad que una las ciudades de París, Orlèans, Clermont-Ferrand y Lyon. El problema consiste en facilitar el transporte y disminuir el tiempo de viaje entre esas ciudades importantes de Francia disminuyendo a un mínimo los impactos ambientales y territoriales.
2.- Historia
La voluntad de hacer una línea ferroviaria de alta velocidad a fin de reducir el tiempo de viaje entre París y Lyon y las principales ciudades intermedias, exige atravesar con un nuevo trazado, otras áreas del territorio distintas de las ocupadas por la red ferroviaria existente, a raíz de las condiciones más exigentes de diseño de una línea de alta velocidad, fundamentalmente debido a grandes radios de curvatura y nuevos diseños de las estaciones.   
También se encuentran problemas de impacto ambiental tanto visual como sonoro, y por todo ello se pone a disposición de las personas afectadas y las autoridades locales (por ejemplo intendentes y las fuerzas vivas), el anteproyecto y las variantes de traza diseñadas por la empresa ferroviaria francesa a fin de que se puedan emitir opiniones y reparos a su construcción.
3.- Entidades originarias y financiamiento
La entidad originaria del proyecto es Reséau Ferré de France, y en cuanto a lo concerniente a la participación de los ciudadanos, la institución responsable y financiadora es la Commision Nationale du Débat Publique -CNDP- quien actúa en cada ámbito a través de delegaciones, cada una de ellas denominadas Commision Particulier du Débat Publique – CPDP. 

4.- Selección de los participantes	
La participación de la ciudadanía fue promovida por esta comisión en primer lugar creando un sitio web especial para el debate público (www.lgv-pocl.fr) y paralelamente a través de medios de difusión pública, tales como un newsletter del proyecto (Le Journal du débat publique) y un vehículo con carteles que recorría las ciudades cercanas a la traza informando e invitando a participar. Ello se puede ver en el propio sito web. 
Por otra parte a fin de garantizar el pluralismo, la participación del público es libre y en el sitio se encuentran los lugares y horarios de reunión accesibles a todos.
4.1- Esquema del proceso participativo
1.	El presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Debate Público - CNDP – vista la relevancia e importancia de los bienes que puedan verse afectados por el trazado, decide que el proyecto debe ser sometido a debate público.
2.	Con ese motivo designó al presidente de la comisión particular –CPDP- cuya nominación recayó en un ingeniero con el rol fundamental de garantizar la participación y ser neutral. No obstante ello su formación académica permite que aclare ante el público conceptos útiles cuando hacen falta ciertas explicaciones técnicas o traducción de especificaciones a lenguaje comprensible por todos.
3.	Con la propuesta de dicho presidente de la Comisión Particular, la Comisión Nacional designó a los seis (6) integrantes de la CPDP.
4.	También decidió el plazo en que se desarrollará el debate público: 3 de octubre de 2011 a 31 de enero de 2012. (A la fecha todavía no finalizado).
4.2.- Temas tratados
Los temas tratados son: 
	  La conducción del proyecto 
	  La economia del proyecto 
	  El contexto y la situación actual
	  Los escenarios presentes en el debate 
	  El trazado de la línea LAV Paris-Lyon
	  El servicio de transporte 
	  La planificación del territorio 
	  La explotación de la ferrovía 
	  Los efectos sobre el ambiente 
	  La articulación con las demás trazas ferroviarias 
5.- Deliberaciones, decisiones e interacción pública
5.1.- La fase de aprendizaje
Se inauguró el debate público el 3 de octubre de 2011 y la CPDP puso a disposición del público en primer lugar los documentos de diseño de la línea ferroviaria, fundamentalmente su anteproyecto, una síntesis de la obra, el dossier, la cartografía de la zona de vía y estudios del territorio.
Asimismo la CPDP presentó las herramientas y normativas para que el público se exprese, los lugares y fechas de las reuniones y el sitio de internet interactivo. 
5.2.- La fase de escucha pública
En esta fase la CPDP pone a disposición del público hasta la finalización del debate (el 31 de enero de 2012), no sólo los lugares de reunión (con su organización correspondiente) a fin de que los diferentes participantes se escuchen entre sí, con infraestructura y mediante moderadores, sino que también publica sobre el Journal du débat publique ya mencionado, las propuestas del público (a la fecha ya han salido cuatro números del mismo), incluye videos de las intervenciones en el sitio web, las contribuciones escritas y orales y finalmente las preguntas.
Una contribución particularmente extensa fue presentada por el Consejo Regional de Auvernia sobre la estrategia de desarrollo y gestión del territorio en la zona de ubicación de la ferrovia. 
5.3.- La fase deliberativa
El presidente de la CPDP realizará un informe del debate público, en un lapso no superior a los dos meses de finalización del debate público. Asimismo el presidente de la CNDP (de nivel nacional) realizará un balance del proceso y sus resultados. 
Dicho informe y balance serán girados a la Dirección de Obra, es decir Reséau Ferré de France, la cual en un lapso no mayor de tres meses, debe tomar una decisión sobre lo decidido respecto de modificaciones o no al proyecto, informando de ello a la CNDP y hecho público.       
6.- Influencia, resultados y efectos  			
El proceso se encuentra todavía en desarrollo y a la fecha falta un mes y medio para terminar los debates. No obstante es de destacar la intervención de la intendente (Maire) de Roanne que ha subrayado que la reunión de ciudadanos en esa ciudad, ha constituído un punto de referencia importante en diversas facetas: en primer lugar que tuvo en este debate el primero en su tipo en la ciudad, en segundo lugar que ha favorecido el intercambio de ideas y propuestas, en tercero que involucró al público en el proyecto, que acercó la gente entre sí como un valor a destacar en sí mismo y finalmente – y asimismo  muy importante - que permite a una generación debatir lo que le van a dejar a las generaciones futuras.
7.- Análisis y críticas		
La principal crítica que se le puede hacer al proceso descripto es que la CNDP ha decidido designar motu propio tanto al presidente como a los integrantes de la CPDP, sin la participación del público. Las autoridades del debate son muy importantes en cuanto a su capacidad de gestionar la reunión y también en cuanto a ser neutrales. La nominación por parte del estado excluye entonces un proceso meta-participativo para estas nominaciones, que sería deseable -por coherente- con la participación pública que se busca. 
Por otro lado también fue fijada manu militari por la CNDP tanto la fecha de inicio como de finalización. 
Se comprende que el lapso de discusión del proyecto no puede ser sine die pero el tiempo instituído (cuatro meses) para discutir un proyecto de la magnitud y las implicancias que éste posee, parece a todas luces escaso, especialmente si se deben estudiar  propuestas técnicas, valorarlas en sus diversos aspectos, discutir impactos ambientales complejos y a la vez con todo ello construir un feedback con las razones por las cuáles se elige una y no otra de las soluciones.

"Participatory Decentralization in Montevideo","wenger1989","Participatory decentralization is the process of handing out legitimate political authority to the citizens. It contributes to democratization by bringing the government ‘closer to the people’, imparting the citizens with political knowledge through their participation in local management, and making the government more accountable. [1] 

Frente Amplio-Encuentro Progresista (FA-EP), the ruling political party in Montevideo, Uruguay, implemented this program in 1990 after winning the 1989 election. The program entails the transference and distribution of social, political and economic power, allowing citizens to make decisions on matters of interest to the community. The idea is to “transform the state-society relationship, creating a new public space where issues crucial to the quality of the lives of the great majorities, are discussed”. [4] Participatory decentralization remains a key element of Montevideo’s political system today.

"The Use of Machizukuri After the 1995 Earthquake (Kobe, Japan)","JoyousTerra","In January of 1995, greater Kobe, Japan experienced a high intensity earthquake called the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake.  In March of 1995, the City of Kobe local government issued plans for “Designation of Land Readjustment and Redevelopment Areas.”  These plans created controversy between the residents and the local government because the government made their decisions for rehabilitation without negotiating or consulting with the residents that the plans would impact.  Machizukuri citizen groups were used as part of the Kobe rehabilitation process, such as in Rokko, Japan in the North District.  Machizukuri has existed in Japan since the 1960s and was used to engage residents in bettering their own communities, and to engage in dialogue with the local government in order to create accountability.  The Japanese term Machizukuri translates to mean ""town or community building process.""  The essential pillars of Machizukuri were to bond, bridge, and link social capital; in other words, to create community unity, a multi- social sector network, and to get involved in government decision-making.  Within this structure, the concept of a town meeting, deliberation, consensus building, negotiation, information and opinion sharing, and local leadership are also fundamental aspects of the best functioning citizen participation examples.  This case study discusses how the North District (Rokko) used Machizukuri to impact the local government’s community plans and establish their own initiative in the 1990s. ","Background:In January of 1995, greater Kobe, Japan experienced a high intensity earthquake called the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake.  The damage extended into Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo.  Just in Hyogo alone, over 240,000 homes burned or collapsed as a...","Mon, 01/02/2012 - 12:23","Japan","No","","","Community Development, Environment, Planning (e.g. Urban planning, Transportation, etc.)","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation, Negotiate & Bargain, Express opinions/preferences only","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Co-governance (i.e. to share decision making with public authorities), Collaborative delivery of services with public authorities, Raise public awareness, Community building (e.g. social capital)","Other","Deliberation","Local (e.g. Neighbourhood, City/Town, Metropolitan Area)","Community Based Organization, Individual","Local Government (e.g. Village, Town, City), Community Based Organization, Individual","No"

"What's Next California? Deliberative Poll (Torrance, California)","sidotij","“What’s Next California?” was a Deliberative Poll that took place in Torrance, California from June 24th to June 26th, 2011. It was California’s first ever statewide Deliberative Poll, and was conducted by the inventor of the Deliberative Poll itself, Dr. James Fishkin, and his team of collaborators. The turnout was outstanding, with the participation of 412 registered voters gathered from around the state through a scientifically selected random sample. The idea for this Deliberative Poll stems from the mountain of controversy surrounding California’s governance, at both state and local levels. The intention was to engage Californians and introduce them to the deliberative process, as well as to produce substantive results that can be used by reform groups to potentially impact the future of California. The Poll involved three waves of questionnaires – one via telephone, one upon arrival in Torrance, and one upon departure – touching on four key issues: The statewide initiative process, legislative representation, local government, and tax and fiscal policy.
