Killerby, P., Thomas, M., Inglis, S. and Trigg, L. (forthcoming) “Deliberative democracy, data mining and sustainable development: The Hamilton Community Outcomes Project”.

Abstract

In response to legislative requirements and developing best practice, New Zealand local authorities are adopting new ways of consulting with their communities. A challenge of participatory, inclusive consultation is how to summarise large amounts of qualitative data into concise and meaningful information. This paper describes a bespoke adaptation of data mining software which helped transparently condense consultation results from more than 3,000 people into a one-page statement of community outcomes for Hamilton City.
