Abstract

The study has the purpose to analyze the implications of the institutionalization process of spatial resources in the participatory governance system. It departs from the assumption that the institutional participatory governance policy as a political option has a chronic neglect despite the omnipresent decision-making authority, there is not binding authoritative allocation of values, public support, and the distribution of resources with a growing acceptance among the non-institutional space. The method employed is the analytic reflective thinking based on the theoretical and empirical review of the literature. It is concluded that the allocation of values and spatial resources from the institutional state power to society requires development in spatial form and new modes of participatory governance system in which actors and stakeholders through political actions allocate values and spatial resources to deal legitimately and effectively in the context of unity for the notion of common good for the community.

Institutionalization

The rationale for institutionalization of participatory governance provides an analytical framework for monitoring good governance taking the current situation as the starting point and considers the following stages. The public participatory governance organizational is related to the collective action institutionalization based on the structure and space purpose to guarantee formal long-term responsibility sharing and sustainability for public and civil sectors governance. Controlling the human nature environment needs to be institutionalized collective responsibility through participatory governance arrangements. However, the mismatches are framed in practice by the institutional ambiguity.

Institutionalization and proper monitoring of any participative governance model becomes essential for the long-term viability. Institutionalized participatory models of governance are often linked to institutions and regulatory frameworks that may be adequate to the specific matters. The model of participative governance set apart the institutions to map the relevant institutionalized interrelationships in the context of communities and their programmatic activities more dependent on sociopolitical changes. Institutionalization of participatory governance models requires a favorable context and many other factors to be implemented.
