Abstract

Digital technologies help increase citizen engagement and engagement. How does it help and promote civic engagement? What is the difference between E-participation and offline participation? The article selects three public consultation activities on real estate (cultural relics) evaluation carried out by the Macao government from 2015 to 2021 as cases. Research shows that, after years of development, electronic participation is still not the main way for citizens to participate, but the expression of opinions and emotional distribution of online participation are more diverse than offline participation. The study found that compared with traditional models such as offline participation, E-participation is more open, inclusive and convenient, providing a more open channel for the public to participate in public consultation activities, providing a relaxed expression environment and extensive communication opportunities, and enhancing the public’s willingness to express their true feelings. Second, through the open, convenient communication and influence of electronic participation, the influence and effectiveness of public opinion have also been significantly improved. Compared with the "black box" of opinions that may appear in traditional methods, online opinions are more open and transparent, allowing different opinion holders to speak more willingly and dare to speak. Therefore, it is suggested to strengthen electronic participation in public consultation. On the one hand, it should meet the participation requirements of the information technology era and enrich the channels for the public to participate in public affairs in the future; on the other hand, it can promote the enthusiasm of public participation and make public opinions convenient, diverse and true.
