Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse the functionality of the participatory budgeting (hereinafter: PB) as an instrument of the social participation process. The article presents three models of the PB. They have a huge impact on the social capital, which is the networks of relationships among people based on trust, reciprocity and cooperation. The main goal is to make a scrutiny of the PB using Robert Putnam’s research about the civil capital and civil communities.
