TYPOLOGY OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN SPACE

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the features of urban space management: the tendency to self-organization of the city is accompanied by the participation of citizens in the processes of transforming the urban environment. The article discusses the features of the process of involving citizens in changing the urban environment; the aim of the study is to build a typology of citizen participation in the development of urban space. Particular attention is paid to the issues of interaction and harmonization of interests of municipal authorities and city residents. The research methodology is based on the principles of social constructivism and phenomenology, with the help of which it was possible to identify the motives and types of citizen participation in the development of urban space. The main results were the identification of the main ways of citizen participation in changing the city - active and passive, as well as building a typology of residents according to their degree of participation and interest in the development of urban space. Three main types were identified - detached, interested, decisive. In general, we can talk about the predominance of passive forms of citizen participation in the life of the city, as well as the actualization of the problem of civic activity: the emergence and active spread of online forms of civic activity makes us take a new look at the usual traditional offline forms.
