Participatory budgeting is an instrument used everywhere in the world today to develop communities and democracy in order to increase the accountability and capacity of the public administration. Participatory budgeting processes have important outcomes in terms of increasing democratic representation of previously excluded categories, increasing the level of trust between authorities and citizens, expanding public service delivery and increasing the quality of public services, but positive results are not always guaranteed. Participatory budgeting processes have their own risks and limitations. A strong civil society is a favorable premise and a clear commitment of the governors to delegate their authority is a must. Between 2013 and 2018, several participatory processes that could be included in the field of participatory budgeting have been carried out in Cluj-Napoca and have been used as a model for processes in other cities in Romania and the European Union. Through these processes, a participatory culture was promoted both at the local community level and at the local public administration level, their development being an important element in building a local system of participatory governance and an inclusive public sphere.

克卢日-纳波卡参与式预算编制的发展

参与性预算是当今世界各地用来发展社区和民主以增加公共行政责任和能力的一种工具。在增加以前被排除在外的类别的民主代表性，增加当局与公民之间的信任程度，扩大公共服务的提供以及提高公共服务的质量方面，参与性预算编制过程具有重要的成果，但并不总是能保证取得积极的成果。参与性预算编制过程有其自身的风险和局限性。一个强大的公民社会是一个有利的前提，州长必须明确承诺下放权力。在2013年至2018年之间，在克卢日-纳波卡已经进行了参与式预算领域中可能包含的几种参与式过程，并已被罗马尼亚和欧洲联盟的其他城市用作过程的模型。通过这些过程，在地方社区一级和地方公共行政一级都促进了参与性文化，其发展是建立地方参与性治理体系和包容性公共领域的重要因素。
