“…This last phase is open to eventual adjustments and modifications by the administrative personnel in charge of urban regulation in each municipality with a view to adjusting it to the specific characteristics. This work can be carried out by municipal technical personnel or shared by a multidisciplinary team which includes, besides municipal technical personnel, external personnel and/or bodies associated with architecture, urbanism, the history of renovation and even citizens' representatives [55,56], such as resident and neighborhood associations, etc. ; -The result of the analysis of the building stock using the methodology described should be set out in a municipal renovation catalogue that covers each and every one of the municipality's architectural complexes and buildings not previously included in the heritage protection catalogue, in which the criteria to fulfil when undertaking their renovation are established.…”

The need to improve the energy performance of European buildings is beyond all doubt, as indicated by the different regulatory determinations on energy and climate change adopted by different public administrations in recent years. The primary actions have focused on improving the thermal enclosure of buildings; the placement of new energy-efficient skins on their exterior façades is consequently beginning to deconfigure, distort, homogenize and globalize the city in an alarming manner. In the case of Spain, the lack of a specific regulation on how to proceed when renovating the vast majority of residential buildings without heritage protection is leaving the ultimate decision in the hands of owner associations. It is therefore urgent to endow municipal administrations with a tool enabling them to regulate and control the transformation of a city’s image before it is too late. To that end, a pioneer methodology is proposed to classify the unprotected building stock of a municipality with a view to future renovation actions, depending on the degree of their vulnerability and the greater or lesser need to protect their image and the other pre-existing features. As a theoretical case study to test the proposed methodology, the locality of Errenteria, Spain, was chosen, demonstrating that it is an effective tool easy to apply in any city nationwide, regardless of the respective location, size and management capacity.

“…Thus, in a practical sense, citizen participation has over the past fifty years materialized, for example, in the form of “assisting to reveal or resolve controversial town planning issues and for tackling the complex problems of urban decline […] as a necessary component of public service delivery at local level, with models of participation varying from customer complaints procedures through consultation to consumer control of services” (Docherty et al , 2001, p. 2226). With participation taking this form, as “governance evolved to the co-creation and co-production with the active help of citizens and partner organisations” (Correia et al , 2023, p. 1), it is argued that the democratization of governance is evolving and that the empowerment of the populace is increasing.…”

“…Not necessarily, since the prospect of engendering fruitful public participation is commonly dependent on how such processes are organized (Casula Vifell and Soneryd, 2012, p. 18; Koch, 2013, p. 2989). The organization of participatory governance can be structured in several ways, for example through workshops (Correia et al., 2023, p. 3), randomly selected assemblies (Smith, 2009, p. 72) or consensus conferences (Koch, 2013, p. 2981).…”

Purpose Social sustainability is a concept frequently referred to in public debates concerning how to construct the governance of future societies. The interpretations of its meaning, however, are ambiguous, and practices often dubious. Confronting top-down technocratic governance structures, this paper aims to argue for for tripartite collaborations between residents, higher education institutions (HEIs) and local government, as an approach toward social sustainability that involves residents’ interests in local governance. Design/methodology/approach This study argues that a specific time-spatial method of analysis can benefit the co-creation of knowledge as it passes through the spectrum of resident–HEI–local government. It provides a way for resident perceptions to become structured knowledge that originates from the residents, effectively engendering a bottom-up governance structure. Findings This study shows how to include residents in policymaking and implementation processes as co-creators of knowledge, and thereby displays the possibility of examining knowledge and competence within municipal projects for social sustainability. Originality/value The model developed in this study can be used as a methodological instrument to analyze and expand resident participation in local social sustainability work. It thereby provides a toolbox for inclusive policymaking and strategies.

“…The first dimension of PDM considered in this study is the depth of PDM (Carmeli et al, 2009;Correia et al, 2023). Participatory decision-making can have several levels in terms of depth (Carmeli et al, 2009;Correia et al, 2023). The depth of PDM could be fake, partial, and full participation (Correia et al, 2023;Dedding et al, 2023).…”

Participatory decision-making (PDM) in an organisation is critical to employees' performance. Stemming from goal-setting theory, this research examines the dimensions of participatory decision-making and employee performance in the health sector from a developing economy's perspective. The study employed an explanatory research design rooted in a positivist philosophical orientation and 460 employees were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Primary data was collected using a validated questionnaire and analysed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling. Overall, the study revealed that participatory decision-making significantly relates to the performance of health workers. Specifically, both the depth and scope of participatory decision-making are significantly related to employee performance in the health sector. However, there was a non-significant relationship between forms of participatory decision-making and health workers' performance. The study concluded that the depth and scope of participatory decision-making are very necessary for enhancing employee performance in the health sector. The findings alerted the management of health facilities to encourage participatory decision-making among nurses at the various health facilities. Management should consider the level at which employees are engaged in the decision-making process.
