Online political participation will have the most positive results when combining the strengths of government-initiated and netizen-led models. Study on the paper of Prof. Seong-Yi Yun
eDemocracy2012 Jani Makraduli Policy_and_program_life-cycle_managemente-Democracy Conference
This document discusses the changing role of politicians and policy in democracy. It notes that public pressure and expectations on politicians are greater than ever, and that political engagement is becoming more ad hoc and less tied to party affiliation. Technological trends are interacting with society in ways that challenge traditional democratic structures and increase interconnectivity. This requires finding new ways to manage continuous change and involve citizens through more participatory and horizontal approaches to policymaking. The document examines gaps in knowledge and openness between citizens and politicians regarding technology and parliamentary processes. It argues that parliaments must promote more openness and transparency to engage citizens and enable two-way communication.
Social Media in Malaysia and United States of America - A study Faizal Muhd Faxel Wel
Comparing social media being used by politicians of Malaysia and United States. Malaysia's understanding of social media as medium during political campaign for 14th general election (2013 to 2018).
This document discusses public deliberation in China and its potential benefits. It defines public deliberation and outlines its analytical and social aspects. It then compares types of public deliberation in the US and China, both offline and online. While Chinese civil society and media are dominated by the government, there is evidence that public deliberation is emerging through informal conversations, government decision making processes, and online platforms. Public deliberation may lead to increased political participation and accountability in China.
Aktiividemokratia / Active democracy : Presentation in Pixelache festivalMikko Laajola
The document proposes the creation of a direct democracy party called "Active Democracy" to address issues with the current representative system. It suggests tools for modernizing democracy, including an open online parliament, liquid democracy model, and collaborative referendums to give people more direct participation in decision-making. The goal is to empower citizens and marginalized voices through distributed, voluntary political networks and knowledge sharing on policy issues.
The document discusses the decline of social capital and civic engagement in America and potential solutions for renewal. It outlines how social capital benefits communities through social networks, trust, and civic participation. However, factors like increased mobility, technology, and generational changes have led to disengagement. This has repercussions for education, neighborhoods, democracy and more. Solutions proposed include reforming education, workplaces, communities and politics to revive civic values and participation. Examples of innovative civic engagement in environmental and other groups are provided.
The document discusses empowering citizens to address civic issues through technology. It notes that municipalities often disregard civic problems, citizens are inactive, and there is a lack of assessment of municipal bodies' work. The proposed solution is a mobile and internet-based public platform for citizens to easily post civic issues, have them organized and analyzed based on location and category for public viewing. Issues analysis reports would also be published periodically in media to build pressure on authorities to address problems while enabling citizen participation and discussion with municipal officers.

Graham Davis - Social Media in PoliticsSMCgreatlakes
The document discusses how social media use has increased across all age groups and discusses its growing role in politics. It notes that Obama's 2008 campaign heavily invested in digital platforms like social media to engage with voters. However, campaigns in 2010 did not focus as much on social media. Now, campaigns are being forced to change and use new technologies like social media and mobile to reach voters as traditional media declines. The document provides tips for using social media effectively in political campaigns, such as growing contact lists, targeted online ads, and timely, disciplined messaging.
The document discusses online journalism and civic engagement in India during the 2009 national elections. It provides background on the elections and 2008 Mumbai attacks that increased social media usage. It profiles several citizen journalism websites that covered the elections and innovations like Google collaborating with an Indian newspaper. The document advocates for harnessing social media and user-generated content to promote civic engagement beyond elections by connecting students in a discussion on a civic discussion platform.
This document profiles Jesse Fox, the founder of Open TLV, an organization that aims to increase transparency and citizen engagement in urban planning in Tel Aviv. It provides background on Fox and explains Open TLV's mission to address the lack of transparency in Tel Aviv's planning system. The document outlines some of Open TLV's advocacy campaigns, such as working to demand changes to Tel Aviv's master plan and advocating for bike lanes in south Tel Aviv. It also shares lessons learned from Open TLV's work over time.
This document discusses civic engagement at US universities. It provides data on trends in civic activities among Americans such as volunteering, donating to charity, and voting. It also outlines ways that students can become engaged civically through activities like volunteering, joining political groups, contacting elected officials, and discussing current issues. The document proposes developing "citizen scholars" through combining academic learning with hands-on civic activities. It describes a program at USF St. Petersburg that places students in political campaigns to encourage civic participation and evaluates its effects on students.
Mass Media - The Media of Singapore: An OverlookJason Devolta
The document provides an overview of mass media in Singapore, beginning with a historical background of the country. It then discusses traditional print and broadcast media industries, which are largely dominated by state-linked companies. New media has seen more growth and alternative voices. The document examines the close relationship between the government and media, with an expectation that media will conform to the government's agenda. It also explores some implications, such as new media potentially allowing more democratic practices, and challenges facing traditional media.
Digital tools are increasingly being used for political purposes to coordinate groups and share information. Recent trends in digital politics include a rise in online fundraising, with Obama raising $500 million in 2008. New social networks like Votizen aim to encourage civic engagement through social connections. Political satire and fact-checking also have an online presence. Overall, digital tools are shaping new forms of political expression and organization.
Petitioners versus activists: The case of Zwarte Piet and FacebookJanelle Ward
This document discusses two opposing Facebook pages regarding the Zwarte Piet tradition in the Netherlands. The Zwarte Piet is Racism (ZPIR) page campaigns to change the tradition, while the Pro-Piet (Pie11e) page supports maintaining the tradition. An analysis found that the ZPIR page saw more engagement and discussion between users, with 70% of users liking, sharing, or commenting, compared to just 29% on the Pie11e page. Comments on ZPIR were also more substantive replies to one another, while those on Pie11e often just repeated slogans. The results show how Facebook pages can be used in different ways to protest or support issues.
This document discusses how technology advancement can change gender roles. It notes that information and communication technologies (ICT) can empower women and promote gender equality by providing flexibility, ending isolation, and giving access to knowledge and resources. However, it also identifies some constraints to women's full use of ICT, such as an absence of gender considerations in technology policies and a lack of comprehensive gender data. The document examines different gender aspects of technology issues and lessons from projects involving gender and ICT, concluding that while technology can empower women, it also affects gender relations.
This document discusses the impact of various types of media on society. It outlines how print media like newspapers and magazines, audio media like radio, and audio-visual media like television and the internet can inform society, influence buying decisions and public opinion, and change lifestyles. Social media is said to impact politics, business, socialization, and productivity, but also cyberbullying and privacy. The media can positively impact culture by changing social structures and creating awareness, but may also negatively influence culture by moving it towards Western culture and diminishing family culture. Media has both positive impacts like moral development and enhancing skills in children, but also negative impacts like increasing violent behavior and exposing them too early to adult content and social media threats.

Presentation by Paul Mihailidis, PhD, Faculty, Emerson College & Director, Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change
The Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change is a multidimensional initiative that provides curricular materials, training and support for journalism schools, programs and classrooms across the world. It is organized through a network of participating universities in China, East Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the UK, Latin and North America and brings together expert Faculty and around 70 students, from undergraduate to Ph.D level.
The Academy’s objective is to lead the creation of global media literacy curricula, multimedia stories, and comparative research, and to become a leading hub for global media education in the 21st Century. The curriculum developed over the past six years has led to the publication of News Literacy: Global Perspectives for the Newsroom and the Classroom by Academy Director, Paul Mihailidis. Students work in international teams and across disciplines.

The document discusses challenges with modern governance and declining trust in government. It proposes two approaches to strengthen democracy and impact public trust: changing how government relates to citizens, and strengthening citizen involvement in decision making. America Speaks is presented as working to reinvigorate democracy by engaging citizens through facilitated deliberations that integrate both face-to-face and online participation. Their goal is to fully integrate citizen voices into the decision making process.
This document discusses the political influence of social media. It defines social media as new information networks that allow for interactive and user-generated content through communication forms like blogs, social networking sites, and online communities. Social media enables more democratic participation through opportunities for public commentary and organization, but it can also lead to "flame wars" and spread of misinformation. It influences politics by allowing politicians to engage more directly with citizens, but it also risks encroaching on personal privacy as political leaders have less separation between their public and private lives. Moving forward, both greater use of social media by governments and new technologies threaten to further damage concepts of privacy.
This document discusses the relationship between media and politics. It explores how politicians, journalists, and citizens shape news coverage and how media has changed politics. Media now plays a central role in politics by influencing politicians and political campaigns. Politicians also try to influence media coverage. The relationship is complex, with both sides relying on each other while also exerting power over one another. Foundations provide over $1.8 billion in funding to support various media-related activities in the U.S. Accountability and independence of media is important to balance the rights of individuals, communities, and press freedom.
Internet and participatory culture opportunities and challenges-pptArulselvan Senthivel
The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of increased participation in internet culture. It finds that while internet usage in India has grown significantly, with over 100 million users, only 19% of users can be considered truly participatory by creating and sharing content. Younger users and those in urban areas are more likely to participate. The opportunities of participatory culture include user-generated content, virtual communities, and empowered civic engagement. However, challenges include a participation gap among non-internet users and issues around transparency, gatekeeping, and the breakdown of traditional training models with new media.
This document discusses the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) like NGOs and their relationship with political parties in a democratic system of governance. It outlines how CSOs provide a space for citizen participation and advocacy for reforms outside of traditional political structures. The document also notes that some CSOs, through their technocrat-activists, helped develop the agenda for President Benigno Aquino III, known as the "social contract", and analyzes the collaboration between CSOs and Aquino's campaign. It provides a framework for CSOs to locally network with political parties through focus on common issues and maintaining organizational independence.
This document discusses the political interactions between Muslim organizations and governments in the context of human rights. It presents 6 hypotheses about how a human rights framework can facilitate these interactions by providing a common language, broadening engagement beyond security, recognizing multiple identities, empowering immigrant communities, addressing cultural/religious claims secularly, and encouraging reinterpretation of Islamic law to be more compatible with human rights. The overall goal is for liberal states to reconcile national cohesion, diversity, and preventing radicalization without jeopardizing rights.
Public Participation and Conflict Resolution in Public Planning: Practice in ...nowedrogirozwojupl
The document discusses public participation and conflict resolution in public planning practices in Austria. It provides an overview of the Austrian Society for Environment and Technology (Oegut), which promotes public participation. It then describes principles of public participation, including that it should be implemented early to prevent conflicts and reach acceptance for projects. The document also discusses benefits and success factors for public participation. It provides case studies of participation processes for an expressway project and for expansion of Vienna International Airport.
Linkage Between Political Participation and Political DevelopmentMahrukh Cheema
This document discusses political participation and political development. It defines political participation as activities that influence government action, either directly or indirectly. It lists different forms of political participation like voting, campaigning, and protesting. The document also defines political development as a country's ability to respond efficiently to new problems through specialized institutions and roles. Increased political participation can both aid and hinder political development by strengthening engagement but also potentially straining institutions or raising new issues. Overall, political participation and development are correlated but must balance popular will with stable governance.

Political participation refers to activities citizens engage in to influence government actions or policymaking, either directly or indirectly. This can include voting, contacting officials, campaign volunteering, protesting, or running for office. According to studies, most common forms of participation in the US include watching campaigns on TV, voting, and trying to influence others' votes. Over time, voting rights have expanded from only white, male landowners to include all races, both sexes, and younger citizens due to abolition, women's suffrage, and civil rights movements challenging discriminatory policies. Today, states have little power to restrict suffrage.
"Political Parties, Public Policy and Democratic Participation Conference" - Center left parties Leader's Policy Forum - Becici / Budva, Montenegro - June 29 – July 1, 2012
The document discusses various forms of political participation, including voting, campaigning, contacting officials, and joining interest groups. It examines factors that influence participation such as income, age, race, and gender. Voter turnout in the US increased in the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections due to voter mobilization efforts. However, the US generally has lower voter participation rates than other industrialized democracies. Low turnout could create participation bias that favors those who are older, employed, better educated and identify with political parties.
The document discusses factors that affect political participation and voter turnout in the United States. It notes that while Americans vote less than citizens of other countries, they engage in other forms of participation like protests and civic groups. Barriers to voter registration like poll taxes historically suppressed turnout, but reforms like the Motor Voter Act increased registration. Higher education, age 40-70, and race (with African Americans voting at similar rates as whites with the same demographics) are linked to higher turnout.
The document provides an overview of public opinion and political participation in the US. It discusses how Americans learn about politics through socialization agents like family, education, and media. It also examines how public opinion is measured through polls and surveys, and outlines Americans' varied political ideologies and levels of participation in the political process through activities like voting, protesting, and contacting elected officials.
This study examined the relationship between user personality traits and Facebook use among Indian respondents of different ages. It found that older Facebook users generally had lower levels of extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability but higher openness and agreeableness. They used Facebook more as a daily routine and felt more connected to the Facebook community. Younger users spent similar time on Facebook but used it more for communication and interacting with others, regardless of their personality traits. The study suggests Facebook provides an equal experience for introverts and extraverts.
Transgender Populations Within Culturesalibowbali26
The document discusses the history and current state of transgender populations around the world. It describes how ancient cultures acknowledged third genders but Judeo-Christian traditions defined gender as only male or female. Today, transgender and intersex people have greater visibility and are becoming incorporated into more societies. The document also discusses definitions of sex, gender, transgender, and transsexuality. It provides details on transgender communities and experiences in countries like Sweden, the UK, Portugal, and discusses the history of sex reassignment surgery.
The document discusses the role of media in development and social change in India. It notes that while Indian media started with the goal of educating citizens, economic liberalization in the 1990s led to the rise of commercial broadcasting. This growth has provided both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, citizens are more informed but on the other, media still lacks maturity in handling sensitive issues. It argues that media institutes need to provide specific training for students on new technologies, understanding audiences, and researching topics thoroughly before reporting. This will help strengthen media as the fourth pillar of Indian democracy and create a more informed citizenry.
This document discusses how users construct and navigate their identities on Facebook. It explores how users expose and curate their identities through profile construction, self-disclosure, and being subjected to surveillance. It also discusses the concepts of deterritorialization and reterritorialization in relation to how individuals undo and reestablish their online identities and social networks on the platform.

This document discusses representations of transgender characters in Tamil cinema and how the transgender community receives these images. It outlines the study objectives to analyze depictions of transgender characters, the identity created for the community through these images, and how transgender people identify with the films. The document then provides background on transgender populations in India and their portrayal historically in cinema as sex maniacs or misfits. It describes the methodology used, including semiotic and reception analyses, interviews with transgender individuals, and variables examined like character, shots, costumes, and music. Key findings are discussed around functionality of characters in narratives, relationships depicted, dialogues for social acceptance, and carving cultural identity. Feedback from the transgender community on representations and impacts are also summarized
The document discusses the impact of media on young people's culture and lifestyle in Coimbatore, India. It conducted interviews of 25 people ages 18-25. The findings showed that mobile phones were used most, followed by the internet and TV. Respondents spent 1-8 hours a day on their phones. They placed less priority on traditional values and more on partying, music, movies and fast food. Their dress styles shifted from traditional to tighter jeans and tops influenced by celebrities. Media has changed how people find partners by allowing profiles on sites like Shaadi.com instead of traditional parental introductions.

Public participation involves citizens in creating and managing the built and natural environments. Its main purposes are to involve citizens in planning decisions, improve plans and environments, and promote community. Traditional planning procedures should be reexamined to ensure participation achieves more than affirming designers' intentions. Effective participation determines goals, identifies stakeholders, selects methods to achieve objectives, implements activities, and evaluates results. A range of techniques like interviews, surveys, and workshops facilitate participation.
The Using of Social Media in Malaysia and US for Political Campaign Faizal Muhd Faxel Wel
Comparing social media being used by politicians of Malaysia and United States. Malaysia's understanding of social media as medium during political campaign for 14th general election (2013 to 2018).
The document discusses how social media has become an important tool for political campaigns. It examines platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and social polling apps that allow politicians to communicate with voters in real-time, fundraise, advertise, and gauge public sentiment in an inexpensive way. Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns masterfully used these new methods to cultivate grassroots support and increase voter engagement. Looking ahead, the future of political social media involves new trends like using Twitter to influence national policy debates and the rise of platforms that give voters more direct control over nominating candidates.
This document discusses political participation, which it defines as voluntary activities that citizens undertake to influence government decision-making, either directly or indirectly. It outlines different types of political participation, from more active involvement like voting, campaigning, and holding office, to less active forms like signing petitions or discussions. New media like social media and the internet have enhanced political participation by facilitating online discussion and engagement with political issues and campaigns. Major campaigns like Obama's in 2008 revolutionized the use of digital tools and social media to engage supporters and spread information and messaging.
TechChange: Digital Organising for Political Advisors May 2013Gerard McCarthy
This document discusses how digital tools can enable democratic citizen engagement. It provides examples of online courses that teach technology and organizing skills. Rapid communication tools have increased demand for political accountability. Digital methods can inform voters, build party support, engage citizens, and increase accountability. Examples include Obama's 2008 local organizing and crisis response efforts in Haiti. Mobile phone adoption has "leapfrogged" in many countries. The core tools discussed are mobile phones, SMS, social media, maps, and crowdsourcing platforms. The document stresses tailoring tools to local contexts and building partnerships. Lessons include the need for nimble response, offline involvement, and delivering on promises to maintain trust.

However, it is debated whether technology has truly led to large-scale democratization or if political change was already happening. The document also examines the increased use of social media by UCD student union representatives for political
Political communication trends: What can we learn from Greece and elsewhere Alexandros Melidis
The document discusses political communication trends in Europe, including:
1) Political institutions and media have become increasingly interdependent, with politicians and media negotiating coverage in exchange for access and publicity.
2) Citizens have become more disengaged from traditional politics and more likely to engage in protest or online political communities.
3) European politicians have started adopting social media, particularly Twitter and Facebook, to build communities and engage citizens, though individual strategies vary.
4) Case studies show that while some politicians have effectively used social media to engage supporters and spread their message, others have taken a more top-down approach without integrating social media into their campaigns. Overall adoption of new communication tools is still experimental.
This document discusses how online tools can support democracy and civic participation. It provides examples of how social media and the internet have been used in Brighton & Hove to raise awareness, share ideas, and give voice to communities on issues. While many now use these tools, there are still groups who are offline, such as some elderly, unemployed, and low-income individuals. The document encourages listeners to start by observing online conversations, then to begin participating through blogging, social media, and providing feedback to local governments.
This document summarizes a keynote presentation on e-participation. It discusses the history and concepts of participation, bringing an electronic or "E" component to participation through tools like online platforms and social media. It evaluates a case study of an e-participation project that involved an online deliberation platform and campaigns in four countries to engage young people in political issues. Evaluation of the project found varying levels of user engagement and impact across countries, with barriers to cross-country deliberation but potential for empowering young people if given proper guidance. The presentation concludes by discussing lessons learned about e-participation and its ability to involve citizens in political decision making.
Delakorda, Simon. 2012. Political informatics: how should civil society address technocratic e-governance and fake e-democracy?: [presentation at Ohrid e-Democracy Conference. ICT – a driver for improving democracy, 23rd-25th September 2012]. Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia, 2012.
eDemocracy2012 Simon Delakorda Political_informatics-how_should_civil_society...e-Democracy Conference
This document discusses the democratic risks of digital governance, including technocratic e-governance and fake e-democracy. It examines two cases - a government proposal portal that received over 1,000 citizen proposals but only accepted 11, and an e-democracy subportal that provided weak transparency. This has led to consequences like public disappointment, distrust in institutions, and alternative informal participation channels. The document argues that NGOs can help address these issues by advocating for transparency, expertise, and partnership with governments in areas like pilots, participatory design, and community building to support more citizen-driven e-participation.
This document provides an overview of developing a social media plan and policy for an organization. It discusses the importance of social media for economic development and engaging audiences. It also covers potential legal issues to consider, as well as critical items to include in a social media policy like purpose, scope, rules of engagement, and staff responsibilities. The document then describes Novi, Michigan's process for creating a social media policy and launching initial pages on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to enhance citizen engagement.
Social media has played a major role in politics over the past few decades. Politicians and political parties have increasingly used platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for campaigning and sharing their messages. While Indians used to represent 20% of Orkut users globally, the population has since transitioned more to Facebook. Political parties in India mainly use social media for election campaigns and communicating their agendas. However, the document raises questions about whether political parties can better structure and strategize their social media approach to target younger voters throughout the election cycle rather than just during campaigns. It suggests parties need introspection on engaging youth and promoting their long-term vision online.
The document proposes a new social network called WePolitics that aims to redefine citizen participation in democracy. It would allow users to express opinions on political issues, see real-time statistics, and connect citizens and politicians. The founders argue democracy is not working due to low citizen participation. WePolitics would use polling and social features to understand public opinion in real-time and give citizens and politicians a way to engage in dialogue. It would target the market research industry and offer premium services, targeted ads, and white-label licenses to other organizations. The founders have experience in politics, product development, and operations and aim to launch in Greece and expand internationally.
This document discusses how political campaigns have increasingly utilized social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and custom polling applications. It provides examples of how Barack Obama successfully engaged voters through social media in his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. His campaigns emphasized voter inclusion, real-time conversation, and grassroots organizing online at little cost. Looking forward, the document discusses new trends like using Twitter to influence political debates and the rise of platforms like Americans Elect that aim to nominate nonpartisan presidential candidates through online voter input.
Communicating citizenship online: the web presence of youth organizationsJess Day
This document summarizes a study on how youth organizations use their web presence and online communication strategies. The study found that most organizations primarily used one-way communication through their websites to inform youth, with the goal of eventually involving them in campaigns and civic engagement. While organizations wanted to be more interactive, most did not enable comments or feedback on their sites. By 2010, some organizations had created Facebook and Twitter profiles but mainly used them for broadcasting rather than two-way interaction. The study concluded that organizations had similar web strategies regardless of focus, and that a social media presence did not guarantee interactive content.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
