Abstract

As public participation is increasingly used, more and more scholars publish about how to execute it effectively and its facilitation and running has become a profession. The research on effective participation that investigates the combination of the possible ways to realise public participation and the goal that it is pursuing is, however, limited. A relatively novel online participation method is Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE). This method was initially developed as an instrument to measure social welfare but has organically transformed to a public participation method of which the function of economic evaluation has been dropped. This thesis investigates how the achievement of goals is affected by goal-dependent implementation choices.
