Tiivistelmä
The thesis was conducted for the purpose of mapping security and safety related topics for the municipality of Mäntsälä in Finland. Objectives for the thesis were to research what are the effects according to municipality representatives, citizens and what the expected effects are and why.
The base information was built via a literature review on topics which can have influence in citizen participation. The knowledge base was expanded when new topics were brought up.
There were multiple data acquisition methods used, all of which were qualitative methods. These methods were semi-structured interviews, idea workshops and development workshops.
Analysis made as a gap analysis comparing the perceived effects to literary sources. The results indicated deep understanding in the opportunities provided by the project, but limited thought was put into the threats and risks.
Recommended to invest in communications, risk research and risk management on subject. Encouraged to continue the project as the reward is significantly higher than the risk.
