“…This study showed how the evolution of IPR towards dialogic accounting tool created a space for unheeded stakeholders usually ignored by traditional accounting tools and allowed politicians and public managers to consider a diverse range of conflicting goals and values based on the plurality of the society and the population's needs and perceptions. The main challenges are linked to the diffusion of technology in the reporting tool and how much it will facilitate dialogue and interaction with citizens on public management issue (Secinaro et al, 2021). PR and citizen-centric technology innovation could be the keys to the direct dialogue.…”

“…Using digital platforms and exploring dialogic accounting can provide an overall view of the differences and priorities amongst the various stakeholders and identifying citizen's perceptions allows for an understanding of which needs should be represented. Internet technology and the Web 2.0 approach allow for the creation and exchange of user-generated content (Bellucci and Manetti, 2017;Secinaro et al, 2021). We used a longitudinal case study to analyse the process of adopting and implementing IPR in the case of Turin, Italy and explore how the city involved its citizens.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the usefulness of popular reporting (PR) in an Italian city as a dialogic accounting tool for promoting citizens’ engagement with digital platforms. This study aims to contribute to the debate on democratic accounting technologies with a focus on PR and digital platforms, using the theoretical lens of dialogic accounting. Design/methodology/approach A longitudinal case study is used to analyse the implementation and evolution of PR in the city of Turin, Italy and explore how the city involved its citizens with digital platforms. Findings This study contributes to the debate on public accountability through dialogic accounting tools. Research limitations/implications Multiple sources (surveys, interviews and interventionist workshops) are used to analyse Turin, Italy as a longitudinal case study. Practical implications This study offers practical reflections for legislators, politicians and public managers who need new knowledge and empirical analysis of the effective implementation of the PR as a tool for dialogue and empowering public accounting to hold continuous dialogue with the citizens. Originality/value PR can be considered a useful dialogic accounting tool for politicians, managers and government experts to encourage citizens’ engagement in a pluralistic society.

“…The longitudinal analysis of a case study allows, through different methodologies and approaches, identification and explanation of the same phenomenon with different sources and visions and responding to the gaps that a single approach provides in literature. Examples of longitudinal analysis of a case study are defined equally in the literature [120,121]. The project is defined in four phases:…”

Understanding Social Impact and Value Creation in Hybrid Organizations: The Case of Italian Civil Service

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, it aims to analyze what kind of value is generated by hybrid organizations and how; second, it aims to understand the role of social impact assessment (SIA) in the measurement of added value, especially in terms of social and economic change generated by hybrids. Hybrid organizations are a debated topic in literature and have different strengths in responding to needs, mainly in the public interest. Nevertheless, there are not many studies that identify the impact and change generated by these organizations. After highlighting the gap in the literature, the study proposes an innovative approach that combines SIA, interview, interventionist approach and documental analysis. The breakdown of SIA through the five elements of the value chain (inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact) guarantees a linear definition of the value generated through change with procedural objectivity capable of grasping hybrid organizations’ complexity. The value generated or absorbed is the change generated by the impact measured based on the incidence of public resources allocated. Through the SIA and counterfactual approach, the civil service case study analysis highlights how the value generated by public resources can be measured or more clearly displayed in the measurement process itself.

“…Consul, an open-source software platform for citizen participation, is one of the tools developed within this discourse. It allows citizens to get involved in debates, proposals and participatory budgets (Secinaro et al, 2021). Smith and Martín (2021) explain that technopolitics is based on two main concepts: 'Democratic participation' using digital platforms to innovate in governance models; and 'Collective intelligence' where both citizens and experts are initiators of proposals.…”

The work collected in these volumes has been produced during extraordinary circumstances, as the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to impact working and living conditions. Papers have been written, reviewed and edited throughout lockdowns, challenging family situations and health crises. The high number of submissions and quality of the papers is a testament to the resilience and strength of the CAADRIA community.The papers in this publication have been selected through a two-stage, doubleblind peer review process. All reviews and papers have been evaluated by the Paper Selection Committee. After receiving an initial 488 abstract submissions, a final set of 150 full papers has been selected for publication. We thank all authors for their contributions to the process and congratulate the accepted paper authors.The papers in these proceedings are specifically selected for their contribution to this year's conference theme, following the conference organisers' call for authors to position their work in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the world is experiencing the increasing impacts of climate change, there is an urgent need to reflect on the potential of the latest research in architecture, urbanism and construction to address these global challenges.Our special thanks go out to our more than 180 international reviewers, who volunteered their valuable time and effort. We also thank the organising team in Sydney for developing the 2022 CAADRIA Conference as a strong collaborative effort between academic institutions, industry and practice. We thank Gabriel Wurzer for his support during the proceedings' final production stage, and for facilitating their publication via the open access database CumInCAD.org. Finally, we sincerely thank the CAADRIA community for offering us the honour to serve as members of the paper selection committee for Post-Carbon, the 27 th International CAADRIA Conference 2022.
