“…It is hence interesting to observe that a number of competitive implementations attempted to shift the focus of the competition from a competition between users to one between ideas [8,9,20,64,69], often employing leaderboards of ideas instead of or next to leaderboards of users.

Gamification is one of the most commonly employed approaches for motivating individuals to participate in several types of activities. One of its largest application areas has been e-participation (i.e. citizen engagement in policy-making). Even though the required ICT infrastructure to facilitate e-participation mostly exists today, the focus of the problem has shifted towards humans; citizens are not motivated enough to participate. Gamification is a potential approach to increase motivation towards eparticipation. However, currently there is a dearth in our understanding of how gamification is being applied and researched as well as what kinds of result there exist from gamification. The aim of this paper is to synthesize research and findings on gamified eparticipation, providing directions for future research in this area.

“…They concluded that the agents perceived as most trustworthy were the ones which significantly interacted more with citizens. Concerning the topic of maturity level transformation and political decision-making, Concerning the topic of maturity level transformation and political decision-making, Opromolla et al (2015) indicate that the attitude towards a bottom-up approach for public administration is increasingly popular. This crowdsourcing strategy requires additional motivation and involvement from citizens to co-design the city (smart city) and its infrastructure in order to suit the population´s needs.…”

Nowadays, many democracies are facing, as a growing problem, a breach of communication between citizens and political representatives, resulting in a low citizen participation in political decision-making and during public consultations, leading to a low engagement. Therefore, it is fundamental to generate a constructive relationship between the public administration and the citizens by solving their needs. This document contains a useful literature review of the gamification topic and e-government services, providing a conceptual background and presents a selection and analysis of the different gamification applications found. Three lines of research gaps were identified, with a potential impact on future studies.

“…Beyond the challenges as game elements, individual challenges got better perception from users likely using information technologies or electronic participation to tackle their mobility issues (Schrammel et al, 2015). Finally, the study from Opromolla et al (2015) found an important role of gamification in policy making and smart city planning. Although its use is not commonly considered by policy makers, the study reports positive effects of including gamified tools in citizen engagement, co-design and participatory decision-making processes .…”
