“…The paper (Righettini, 2021) examines the theory of joint governance to determine how it can support the analysis of new participatory practices at the local level and to assess the impact of these processes on the formation of sustainable development policy strategies. Researchers focus on analyzing the reframing process -in particular, it notes that the study uses a topdown system to promote civil society participation in strategic regional development planning.…”

The purpose of the study was to substantiate strategic directions to overcome the asymmetry of regional development. The methodological basis involved a systemic approach that allowed, in turn, a holistic approach to clarify the linkages and patterns of regional development asymmetry and justify strategic measures to overcome it. In the results, it was found that the region's development strategy is a set of interrelated measures aimed at ensuring the principles of sustainable development, improving the quality of life, creating conditions for economic growth, ensuring the efficient use of resources, improving regional self-sufficiency, economic security and competitiveness of the region. It is argued that the region's development strategies should be based on: a) associative approach to the formation of goals and tools to achieve them; b) efficiency in the use of resources; c) participation of a wide range of stakeholders in the substantiation of strategic development directions; d) overall coordination of planning and control processes for the achievement of the set objectives. It is concluded that it is proven that the strategic directions of overcoming the asymmetry of regional development must be led by strategic thinking.

“…Scholars have argued that besides top-down framing, tools [31], bottom-up strategies must be fostered and put in place by national and local governments to enhance the 2030 Agenda impact. Beyond the technicalities, a bottom-up sustainability strategy claims a more inclusive definition via policy takers and stakeholders' direct participation in collaboratively understanding, designing specific tools [22]. The "collaborative governance" (CG) is a method allowing for novel insights on participatory policy formulation while holding different perspectives together [2].…”

“…The online platform served both to ensure the forum's transparency and participation of most fragile categories of subjects. Overall, around 380 entities, associations, public and private enterprises, and citizens took part in the regional forums and contributed to animate the public debate on the future regional sustainability agenda [22]. All texts produced during the three phases build the corpus for topic detection analysis.…”

“…The high participation in this last phase proved that people's awareness of being onboard the regional strategic planning formulation improves the communicative process. It happens when participants repeatedly interact in a public space and, most importantly, when they can evaluate and discuss their outputs [22]. We are now presenting the variables considered in analyzing the participatory output content.…”

“…It is based on discursive participation output, written texts, and content features and highlights several framing dimensions that participation can contribute. The PAG is tested on the outputs of seven participatory forums activated in the Italian region within the Venetian regional government's provincial forums during 2019 when drafting the regional strategic program planning for the 2030 Agenda [22]. More precisely, this research's main endeavor is to explore how bottom-up public reframing matters in updating government discourse and agenda in the formulation phase.…”

The present article introduces an original theoretical framework to investigate how public participation reframes governmental sustainability topics along four dimensions: exploration, prioritization, embedding, and integration. The literature highlights public participation as a strategic sustainability governance tool that can help governments extract local communities’ knowledge to better design policy. In light of this, the article proposes the participatory assessment grid (PAG) to assessing participatory contribution to framing sustainability. The present study adopts a topic detection method to gauging and comparing qualitatively and quantitatively the seven Veneto region participatory forums’ output. In so doing, the article tests the PAG and highlights the bottom-up contribution to the sustainability strategic plan formulation within the regional 2030 Agenda design. As the analysis reveals, participatory forums’ communicative content gives several potential contributions to government policy formulation that are drivers both to enhance public engagement and improve sustainability policy design.
