Research Abstract

Our research group has been involved with various projects for community design in cooperation with municipalities, civic groups and children circles. In the process we held a series of participatory workshops in order to promote citizen participation in these projects. Also, we conducted questionnaire surveys to understand the response of participants to workshops and the change in their attitude.
The result of our analysis indicates that the participants with more experience with workshops show more interests in their communities and their environments. This is proven not only by their reactions but also by their response to the questionnaires. Therefore, we believe that participation is quite important in making community decisions.
Simultaneously, we conducted interview surveys to the facilitators of these workshops as well as to some participants. We applied a PAC (Personal Attitude Construct) analysis method to capture subconscious attitude of individuals to workshops. The results indicated that these facilitators have various positive and negative opinions and feelings towards workshops or participants. These opinions and feelings have to be taken into consideration when we make preparations for future workshops.
This research has clarified various aspects of participatory workshops and identified points to be considered if we continue to utilize the workshop method in the future.
