“…The notions of fairness, or equity, held by directors of municipal recreation and park departments are likely to have a substantial impact on service distribution patterns (Levy et al, 1974;Lineberry, 1977;Mladenka, 1978;Lucy and Mladenka, 1980;Jones, 1980). Therefore, in the study of the allocation of resources to services, it is important to understand the attitudes of both administrators and the general public toward equity.…”

“…Equity based on need has three overlapping implications: that some individuals should receive more of a service than others in a jurisdiction; that such a distribution pattern should be funded or subsidized on a redistributive basis; and that the private sector's distribution of the service is inadequate (Lucy and Mladenka, 1980).…”

This paper addresses the issue of what constitutes fairness and equity in the allocation of park resources. Four alternative equity models are presented. A general population sample and a sample of park and recreation directors were surveyed to gain empirical insights into which of these models the two groups perceived to be most appropriate for governing the allocation of park resources. Both samples overwhelmingly supported the view that parks should be allocated to all areas equally, rather than on the basis of need, demand, or amount of taxes paid. There was a lack of consensus on whether entrance fees should be set at a level that recovers operating costs. Implications of the findings are discussed.

“…In the broader context of public service delivery, several typologies of equity have been suggested by different authors (Campbell, 1976;Lucy, Gilbert, & Birkhead, 1977;Lucy & Mladenka, 1980;Ostrom & Ostrom, 1977;Rich, 1979;Savas, 1979;Vernez, 1978). Crompton and Wicks (1988) attempted to integrate these various approaches and offered a taxonomy of eight equity allocation guidelines.…”

“…Public service is the process through which the government distributes benefits in order to solve human problems and form a more ideal environment [17]. Roth (1987) stated that it is the fundamental justification of a government's existence to differentiate public resources from private resources, and use them to provide its citizens with public benefits and satisfy their needs.…”

Citizen satisfaction levels with public service have become a key indicator in evaluating a nation's policy capability; as such, it has become important to realize citizen-centered public service that enhances the satisfaction of citizens. Governments need to adopt new and creative methods to respond to changes and redefine the conditions of their policy processes. This study reviews the effectiveness of utilizing open innovation by design thinking for policy processes, and aims to detail the conditions for a policy process geared towards citizen-centered public service. The study reviews open innovation as a means of overcoming the insular tendencies of organizations, and also reviews the advantages of design thinking in identifying the diversified needs of citizens and coordinating their interests. Based on those, we conducted a case study and applied open innovation by design thinking for policy processes. The results revealed that key conditions include cooperation among designers, the diversification of communication channels between internal and external organizations, the joining of citizen experiences, repeated verification of citizen needs, and visualization of the whole progression. Such conditions are principal factors that contribute to citizen orientation and participation, and are expected to play a conducive role in the realization of citizen-centered public service in the future.
