TY - JOUR A1 - Thewes, Christoph T1 - Verzerrte Beteiligung T1 - Biased Public Participation BT - Legitimation von Volksentscheiden am Beispiel Stuttgart 21 BT - Legitimation of Referendums on the Example of Stuttgart 21 JF - Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie N2 - Die Beteiligung von Bürgern abseits der institutionell geregelten Wahlen gilt vermehrt als Allheilmittel gegen die Erosion bürgerschaftlichen Engagements. Eine Vielzahl von Autoren haben auf den Missstand aufmerksam gemacht, dass Beteiligung abseits von Wahlen nur von wenigen, oftmals privilegierten Personen genutzt wird, die Beteiligung demnach verzerrt sei. Dieser Artikel nimmt als erster sowohl die ungleiche Beteiligung als auch die Verzerrung eines konkreten Abstimmungsergebnisses in den Blick. Für den Volksentscheid über das Bauprojekt Stuttgart 21 (S21) aus dem Jahr 2011 wird ein kontrafaktisches Wahlergebnis aller Nichtwähler geschätzt. Durch die Verknüpfung von Makro-Daten auf Gemeindeebene mit einem Vorhersagemodell auf Individualebene wird der Beteiligungs-Bias geschätzt. Dieser liegt über dem von Wahlen, jedoch niedriger als bei Petitionen und Demonstrationen. Das kontrafaktische Abstimmungsergebnis prognostiziert eine verstärkte Ablehnung von S21. N2 - To cope with the erosion of civic engagement, the expansion of public participation is postulated an efficacious remedy. Many authors notice the drawback of low turnout with unequal and biased participation compared to institutional elections. As the very first, this article not only emphasizes biased participation, but empirically analyses the biased output of participation methods. The example is the referendum on Stuttgart 21 (S21) in the year 2011. The counterfactual result for nonvoters is predicted by linking macro and micro-data. Estimations on municipality-level show participation-bias above elections, but below petitions and demonstrations. The counterfactual result predicts an enhanced rejection of S21.

The PGSF allows quantitative analyses on topics such as participation, quality of life, and value change in the German Democratic Republic. This paper introduces the concepts of the data set and discusses the validity of its contents.

UGI can be understood as a multifunctional network of different urban green spaces and elements contributing to urban benefits. Urban agriculture has gained increasing research interest in this context. While a strong focus has been made on functions and benefits of small scale activities, the question is still open, whether these findings can be up-scaled and transferred to the farmland scale. Furthermore, multifunctionality of urban and peri-urban agriculture is rarely being considered in the landscape context. This research aims to address these gaps and harnesses the question if agricultural landscapes – which in many European metropolitan regions provide significant spatial potential – can contribute to UGI as multifunctional green spaces. This work considers multifunctionality qualitatively based on stakeholder opinion, using a participatory research approach. This study provides new insights in peri-urban farmland potentials for UGI development, resulting into a strategy framework. Furthermore, it reflects on the role of the stakeholder involvement for `multifunctionality planning´. It suggests that it helps to define meaningful bundles of intertwined functions that interact on different scales, helping to deal with non-linearity of multiple functions and to better manage them simultaneously.
