 Yerel düzeyde doğrudan demokrasinin ilk ortaya çıkışı şehir devletlerinin kuruluşuna dayanmaktadır. Bu sebeple bir kentin demokrasi kavramı ile bağının çok güçlü olduğu söylenebilir. Merkezî yönetimle kıyaslandığında yerel yönetimlerde vatandaş katılımının daha kolay olduğu belirtilebilir. Yerel yönetimlerde katılımcı yöntemleri deneyimlemenin bir yolu vatandaşların karar alma süreçlerine aktif katılmasından geçmektedir. Vatandaşların kent ile ilgili görüş ve önerileri tüm vatandaşlarla paylaşılmalı ve bunun için kent konseyi, beyaz masa, muhtar toplantıları gibi katılım mekanizmaları her kentte geliştirilmelidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada vatandaşların istek ve önerilerinin dikkate alınması noktasında kararlara katılım mekanizmalarının ne kadar etkili olduğu gösterilmek istenmiştir. Araştırmada birçok katılımcı mekanizma arasından beyaz masanın seçilme sebebi, vatandaş ile belediye yöneticileri arasında köprü görevi görmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Beyaz Masaya başvuran vatandaşların yaptığı başvuruların ne kadar dikkate alındığı ve belediye yönetiminin aldığı kararlara vatandaşın katılım düzeyi öğrenilmek istenmiştir. Araştırmanın konusu ise Sakarya Büyükşehir Belediyesinin beyaz masa uygulaması sayesinde vatandaşların kararlara katılımının ne düzeyde olduğudur. Bu konudan yola çıkarak çalışmada cevabı aranan başlıca soru Beyaz Masa aracılığıyla Sakaryada halkın karar alma mekanizmalarına katılımı nasıldır? şeklindedir. Bu çalışmada nitel yöntemler arasında bulunan yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat tercih edilmiştir. 13 sorudan oluşan soru formu hazırlanarak 12 Beyaz Masa personeliyle birebir görüşme gerçekleşmiştir. Mülakat sonucu veriler, Uluslararası Halk Katılımı Derneğinin hazırlamış olduğu 5 aşamadan oluşan katılım aşamalarına göre analize tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışmada Beyaz Masanın bilgilendirme, danışma ve dâhil etme aşamalarında başarılı olduğu, iş birliği ve yetki verme aşamalarında ise iyileştirmeye gidilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
