    Why they participate – motivational functions of digital platforms for bottom-up urbanism
    (Workshop Gemeinschaften in Neuen Medien (GeNeMe) 2022, 2022) Abel, Pascal; Zumbeck, Björn; Robra-Bissantz, Susanne
    Public participation is an increasing topic in the context of smart cities. In general, we differentiate between top-down and bottom-up participation. But when we dig deeper there are several variations of participation from mobile participation (Ertiö, 2015) to planning the city space through Minecraft (Falco & Kleinhans, 2018). As there is a strong focus on technocratic and expert-driven forms of smart cities (Simonofski, Serral Asensio, De Smedt, & Snoeck, 2019), the means of participation can lead towards tokenism. Therefore, we see a pivot towards a more citizen-centric approach of smart cities. ... In the previous work on participatory platforms, we found 23 platforms out of a pool of 143 platforms that offer self-governance and a bottom-up approach to empower thousands of people and help them realize their projects (Abel et al., 2021). Our research on motivations is based on two studies: a quantitative study to investigate the usability of VFI with our additions, and a qualitative study with the platform operators of participatory platforms to prove the applicability in the practical domain. ... Our findings show that the set of items Enhancement, Understanding, Values, Social, Experience, Career, Protective, Experience and Intrinsic Motivation define a comprehensive base to evaluate the motivations and that practitioners can derive structural elements for their participatory platforms.
