Description
eParticipation is crucial for fostering democratic engagement and enhancing public decision-making processes, especially in the dynamic context of smart sustainable cities. While regulations and institutional frameworks are widely recognized as critical for facilitating and achieving these practices, research in this direction remains limited. In this study, we aim to explore aspects of the regulatory landscape on eParticipation in Norway that necessitate refinement. Through semi-structured interviews with field experts within a Norwegian municipality, our findings reveal operational efficiency, accountability, and inclusion as critical areas needing improvement to strengthen eParticipation initiatives.
