Resumo(s)
Citizen participation in policymaking has become a worldwide key reference for the design and implementation of urban regeneration. Despite the
growing rate of participatory processes, little evidence or scientific debate
has been fostered on their measurement and, broadly speaking, evaluation.
While challenges in providing robust evaluations are related to the difficulties
in providing common definitions of citizen participation in policymaking, the
limited sharing of theories and evidence compromises a more comprehensive
understanding of the socio-political phenomenon. The article contributes to
this topic by discussing the conceptualisation and operationalisation of the
participation index for the Bip/Zip programme. Since 2011, the programme
has tackled socio-spatial inequalities in 67 priority areas of Lisbon by funding
local partnerships composed of local associations, NGOs, and parish governments committed to engaging local communities in the development of their
activities. The participation index will be formulated from the convergence of
data collected through quantitative and qualitative methods on the constitution of partnerships, the implementation of initiatives, and the provision of
public funding. The discussion provides critical reflection upon opportunities
and challenges of the ongoing process from the academic and policy sides,
which can positively stimulate future research on the topic.
