ENGAGEMENT STAKEHOLDERS IN THE LIFE SPACE DEVELOPMENT

An essential basis for making decisions on the development of territories where people live is currently the needs of residents and their interests, which must be taken into account at the all stages of projects, while maintaining environment sustainability. To solve such problems, the article proposes a methodology and demonstrate a technology for engagement stakeholders in the process of development of social organisms, including individuals, social groups and the environment. The main objective of such engagement is considered to be the creation of a communication space that can serve as the basis for a continuous process of co-creation in order to ensure the coherent coexistence of people, communities and the environment. To substantiate the proposed solutions, both positive practice and negative experience obtained by the author in a number of local urban projects are used. In modern foreign studies, dozens of specific techniques and technologies of involvement have been summarized, their classification has been carried out, their specificity and scope of application have been described, however, the peculiarity of social methods of engagement is that they depend on the cultural and historical context and are defined in accordance with the existing semantic sets of names of a particular or other human activities. In this connection, the article offers the author’s interpretation of the concepts used in foreign studies, based on similar activities in Russian reality. In some cases, the author replaces the direct translation with a semantic analogue, based on established practice, which should reduce barriers to the implementation of the proposed method. However, the options for interpreting the names and content of activities proposed by the author are currently debatable and may change in the course of future research.
