| dc.description.abstract | Participatory budgeting is one modus of deliberative democracy, emphasizing the importance of direct citizen participation, allowing the public to determine the priority of budget allocation, and cultivating the quality of rational communication and dialogue among the public to achieve the effect of expanding citizen participation. Deliberative public participation must have two levels of communication and empowerment, both of which are indispensable; citizen participation that only focuses on communication level has only a consulting function, while citizen participation that only focuses on empowerment level may have biases in benefits or values, reducing the legitimacy and feasibility of the resolution.
This study takes the example of the Taoyuan Municipal Government Youth Affairs Bureau to promote participatory budgets in the Yangmei Fugang area in 2018, to discuss the role of relevant stakeholders in participatory budgeting, and the purpose, effectiveness and Stakeholders′ perceptions and attempts to establish Hakka′s mode of promoting participatory budgeting. After consolidating research on secondary data, related literature and conducting in-depth interviews, this study has the following findings:
1. The roles and functions of stakeholders in different Hakka societies are different.
2. The link between communication and empowerment is an important factor that affects
people′s opinions and satisfaction.
3. There is a difference in the effectiveness that the public sector and the grassroots citizens
focus on.
4. The blind spot of promoting participatory budgeting: There are preset themes, civic capacity factors and budget considerations.
5. The promotion of participatory budget is not directly related to the themes of Hakka
groups.
Finally, according to the analysis results, this study puts several suggestions for the promotion agencies, Hakka associations, and sponsors, etc., for the reference of subsequent participatory budget promotion. | en_US |
