Today's modern cities have many vital problems. Participatory budgeting (PB) plays an important role in solving these problems by ensuring the effective development of democracy. Participatory budgeting, which incorporates democratic elements such as ensuring citizen participation in budget decision-making, increasing accountability and transparency, attempts to solve the problems of the city by increasing communication between citizens and representatives at the local level and creating an organised society. In this way, it can be used as a tool to promote different types of sustainability in the political, economic and social spheres, from creating an organised society that will enable segments of the city with limited opportunities to become effective in the budget process, to social justice, from environmental problems to providing basic health services, clean water and wastewater systems, schools and kindergartens and living spaces for the poor, from the provision of better quality public services to the efficient use of resources due to accurately identified public services, and from corruption, bribery and nepotism to the solution of administrative failures. This study aims to present the concept, emergence, functioning and outcomes of participatory budgeting.

Günümüzün modern kentlerinin pek çok yaşamsal sorunu bulunmaktadır. Katılımcı bütçeleme, demokrasinin etkin bir şekilde gelişmesini sağlayarak bu sorunların çözümünde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bütçe kararlarına vatandaş katılımının sağlanması, hesap verebilirliğin ve şeffaflığın artırılması gibi demokratik unsurları bünyesinde barındıran katılımcı bütçeleme, vatandaşlar ve yerel düzeydeki temsilciler arasındaki iletişimi artırarak ve örgütlü bir toplum yaratarak kentin sorunlarını çözmeye çalışır. Bu sayede kentin kısıtlı imkânlara sahip kesimlerinin bütçe sürecinde etkin olmasını sağlayacak örgütlü bir toplum yaratılmasından sosyal adalete, çevre sorunlarından temel sağlık hizmetlerinin, temiz su ve atık su sistemlerinin, okul ve kreşlerin ve yoksullar için yaşam alanlarının sağlanmasına, daha kaliteli kamu hizmetlerinin sunulmasından doğru tespit edilmiş kamu hizmetleri sayesinde kaynakların verimli kullanılmasına, yolsuzluk, rüşvet ve kayırmacılıktan idari başarısızlıkların çözümüne kadar siyasi, ekonomik ve sosyal alanda farklı sürdürülebilirlik türlerini teşvik etmek için bir araç olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışma, katılımcı bütçeleme kavramını, ortaya çıkışını, işleyişini ve sonuçlarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
