The past decade has seen a rise in the significance of the Internet facilitating the communication between local governments and local stakeholders. A growing role in this dialog has been played by crowdsourcing. The paper aims to identify areas, forms, and tools for the implementation of crowdsourcing in managing cities in Poland as well as the assessment of benefits provided by the use of crowdsourcing initiatives by representatives of municipal governments. The article utilized a quantitative study method of the survey realized on a sample of 176 city governments from Poland. Conducted studies have shown that crowdsourcing initiatives of cities concern such areas as culture, city image, spatial management, environmental protection, security, recreation and tourism as well as relations between entrepreneurs and city hall, transport and innovations. Forms of stakeholder engagement via crowdsourcing involve civic budgets, "voting/polls/surveys and interviews" as well as "debate/discussion/meeting, workshop, postulates and comments". The larger the city the more often its representatives employ the forms of crowdsourcing listed above. Local governments most frequently carry out crowdsourcing initiatives by utilizing cities' official web pages, social media, and special platforms dedicated to public consultations. The larger the city the greater the value placed on the utility of crowdsourcing.

W ciągu ostatniej dekady wzrosło znaczenie Internetu, który ułatwia komunikację między samorządami a lokalnymi interesariuszami. Coraz większą rolę w tym dialogu odgrywa crowdsourcing. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja obszarów, form i narzędzi wdrażania crowdsourcingu w zarządzaniu miastami w Polsce oraz ocena korzyści płynących z wykorzystania inicjatyw crowdsourcingowych przez przedstawicieli samorządów miejskich. W artykule wykorzystano ilościową metodę badawczą - sondaż zrealizowany na próbie 176 samorządów miejskich z Polski. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że inicjatywy crowdsourcingowe dotyczą różnych obszarów funkcjonowania miasta, w tym najczęściej takich jak: kultura, wizerunek miasta, gospodarka przestrzenna i ochrona środowiska. Najpowszechniejsze formy crowdsourcingu to: budżety obywatelskie, ,,głosowanie/sondaże/ ankiety i wywiady" oraz „debaty/dyskusje/spotkania, warsztaty, postulaty i komentarze". Samorządy realizują inicjatywy crowdsourcingowe wykorzystując oficjalne strony miast, media społecznościowe oraz specjalne platformy dedykowane konsultacjom społecznym. lm większe miasto, tym częściej jego przedstawiciele sięgają po formy crowdsourcingu i tym większą wagę przykłada się do użyteczności crowdsourcingu.

Environmental and social injustices in the extractive sector in Kwale County are rampant and there are limited citizen participatory mechanisms to address the injustices to enhance dialogue among stakeholders. Community exclusion from corporate governance has perpetuated environmental and social injustice causing mistrust and conflicts between communities and investors in mining areas. This study aimed to evaluate a digital mapping platform as a tool for community engagement. A participatory study approach was used where selected stakeholders were trained to use the digital mapping platform and then participated in the study. Mobile phone digital applications and Poi mapper data collection and management applications were used to generate and quantitatively analyse stakeholder responses which were instantly transmitted to a computer server. Digital mapping is interactive, elicited effective interactions among stakeholders and supported citizen participation to enforce corporate accountability.

Hailed as one of the best examples of collaborative urban management practices between the local government and informal traders. In a postapartheid South Africa, there was a national desire to transform the old systems of governance, which in Warwick translated to city government institutions making an effort to include informal traders in the policy making and management processes. The main aim was to promote inclusive urban planning and design.

Citizen participation in the city development planning process is guaranteed by law in every civil society. In Poland, the participation of local communities in spatial planning has been evolving since the political transformation of the years 1989/1990. Changes that occur in the participation process are a result of the formation of civil society and a resulting increase in social awareness on possibilities of expressing one's needs and influencing planning decisions of local governments, as well as modifications in laws and regulations. The article presents the experience gathered in the field of extended social participation in the procedure of drawing up local spatial development plans, on the example of ongoing work on plans for the village of Józefosław in Piaseczno, nearby Warsaw. The problems identified in the area covered by the plans and their origins have been characterized, the assumptions of the plans, whose main purpose is to alleviate diagnosed problems and respond to the needs of the inhabitants, articulated at various stages of the planning process. Then the scope and results of the various phases of social participation – preplanning and based on formal planning procedures – have been described. The experience gained from the phase of public consultation during the preparation of local plans for the village of Józefosław allowed us to draw more general conclusions about participatory procedures specified in the binding regulations, which were included in the summary.
