(TU Delft System Engineering) Mulder, I. (TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication) Jaśkiewicz, T.J. (TU Delft Design Conceptualization and Communication) Contributor Cech, Florian (editor) Tellioglu, Hilda (editor) Date 2019 Abstract The current work explores the participation divide that is oftentimes at play within local citizen communities. The studied case illustrates a common situation where the majority of local citizens does not participate in public space improvement and maintenance activities organised by local community activists. The presented research involved semi-structured interviews supported by interactive service design probes. It has led to two strategies for stimulating community participation, namely 1) increasing transparency around community activities, and 2) embedding community participation in citizens' daily social practices.
