Abstract: Against the backdrop of growing disillusionment with politics, citizen participation is becoming increasingly important as a democratic instrument. This study examines what motivates or prevents people in rural areas from participating in participatory processes and what group-specific barriers to participation exist. It is based on a qualitative interpretative research design. The results show that locally and cosmopolitan-oriented types can be identified, which differ significantly in terms of their motivations, inhibitions and participation needs.
