Towards decision support for participatory democracy.
Abstract
Abstract Inmany,parts of the ,world ,there is a ,growing ,demand ,for participation ,in public ,policy decision,making. This demand ,could ,be satisfied by the ,design ,and ,deployment ,of web- based group decision support systems to aid large groups of, possibly, non-sophisticated, users,in participating, in ,such ,decisions. After ,describing ,several ,mechanisms ,for participatory democracy, we provide a framework for decision support in that area and describe decision support functions that could be implemented ,in such framework. We illustrate the ideas with ,a specific ,system ,to support ,participatory ,budget ,elaboration through,the web. Several practical issues are discussed,alongside. Keywords: Participatory Democracy, Decision Support, Electronic Democracy, Negotiation
