Abstract

Literature often relies on ex post feedbacks from participants to investigate how public participation affects social capital. However, some scholars suggest that the actual achievement of own interests might bias the participants' ex post perception. Therefore, we designed an on‐going evaluative system to monitor the dynamics of trust during public participation, and we tested it in a real case of engagement with local community of stakeholders. The evaluative system could track both processes of creation and destruction of trust over the time, designing complex patterns of evolutions. This study also provided hints for a more effective use of participatory tools. La literatura a menudo se apoya en las retroalimentaciones ex post de los participantes para investigar cómo afecta la participación pública al capital social. Sin embargo, algunos investigadores sugieren que el logro real de los propios intereses podría sesgar la percepción ex post de los participantes. Por lo tanto, se ha diseñado un sistema de evaluación continuo para monitorear la dinámica de la confianza durante la participación pública, el cuál se ha probado en un caso real de involucramiento con la comunidad local de partes interesadas. El sistema de evaluación podría dar seguimiento tanto a los procesos de creación como a los de destrucción de la confianza a lo largo del tiempo, mediante el diseño de patrones complejos de evoluciones. Este estudio también proporcionó pautas para un uso más eficaz de las herramientas participativas. 研究論文は、市民参加がソーシャル・キャピタルにどのように影響するかを検討するために、参加者からの事後のフィードバックに依存することが多い。しかしながら一部の研究者は、実際に自分の利益を達成することが参加者の事後の認識にバイアスを与える可能性があることを示唆している。そこで、市民参加の際の信頼のダイナミクスを観察する、継続的に評価を行うシステムを作成し、利害関係者の地域コミュニティとの関与における実例においてテストした。この評価システムは、進展の複雑なパターンを描き、信頼の構築と信頼の構築の両方の経過を経時的に追跡することができた。また、本研究から、参加型ツールのより効果的な使用のヒントを得ることができた。
