Who’s behind the platform?
Metadecidim is the community that collaborates in the design of the platform and the development of the project. Together we design and create new features and report bugs for continuous improvement of the platform.
The Decidim Free Software Association is a democratic association for the governance of the Decidim community.
Apreciem că este construită pe democrație și, prin urmare, democrația este un obiectiv important. Principiile democratice precum responsabilitatea, egalitatea și transparența se află în centrul proiectării.

Platforma digitală Decide Meeartha a fost o oportunitate care a fost mai deschisă ca niciodată înainte de mecanismele de participare a cetățenilor la elaborarea Planului de Dezvoltare Municipală al MeThererida 2018-2021. Am avut peste 3.000 de interacţiuni între cetăţeni, inclusiv propuneri, comentarii, sugestii și sprijin pentru obținerea celui mai mare consens posibil cu privire la ce este mai bine pentru orașul nostru. Fără îndoială, platforma Decide Me·rida va continua să fie aliatul nostru pentru a transforma Meτ rida într-o societate din ce în ce mai participativă.

Datorită Decidim, la Barcelona am reuşit să coelaborăm un plan de oraş strategic împreună cu cetăţenii. În 2016 am inaugurat Planul de acțiune municipal sub forma unui proces participativ prin Decidim Barcelona. În prezent, acest plan include aproape 7 000 de propuneri din partea cetățenilor. Unul dintre avantajele utilizării acestei platforme este că puteţi monitoriza în orice moment stadiul punerii în aplicare a propunerilor aprobate.
