Electronic Communication Tools in Participatory/Civic Budgeting: The Case of Warsaw

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the participatory/civic budget in Warsaw in terms of the use of electronic communication tools. Answers to the following two research questions are sought: (1) At what stages of participatory/civic budgeting are electronic tools used? (2) What are residents' opinions regarding electronic tools used in participatory/civic budgeting in Warsaw? During the research process, the following research hypothesis will be verified: the electronic tools used in the participatory/civic budget in Warsaw are being gradually improved, and the budget in this city is increasingly becoming an electronic one. This research primarily uses an in-depth analysis of primary sources, including statistical data, legal acts, reports, and evaluation documents. Eleven versions of the participatory/civic budget in Warsaw were analysed. The research hypothesis was partially verified positively.
