ABSTRACT
Budget visualization tools facilitate the communication of complex technical information. In this paper, the main technical, individual and organizational factors that affect its implementation and use is analysed. Through a questionnaire survey data have been collected from those responsible for the adoption and maintenance of the two principal web applications in 34 Spanish regional and local governments. Findings show that these tools have some users but that their main target are not citizens but specific groups, mainly media and political groups. Its adoption is neither a budgetary nor technological problem. The impulse for adoption is mainly political, with the focus on financial and budgetary transparency but sometimes also on participatory transparency or micro-transparency. Finally, a serious risk of governance generated by the lack of clear transparency and accountability strategies in the administrations is detected, as well as an absence of operational procedures to adapt to the changing budgetary structure.

通过可视化表示软件解构政府预算
摘要
预算可视化工具有助于复杂技术信息的交流。本文分析了影响其实施和使用的主要技术、个人和组织因素。通过问卷调查,从负责采用和维护西班牙 34 个地区和地方政府的两个主要 Web 应用程序的人员那里收集了调查数据。调查结果表明,这些工具有一些用户,但它们的主要目标不是公民,而是特定群体,主要是媒体和政治团体。它的采用既不是预算问题,也不是技术问题。采用的动力主要是政治性的,重点是财务和预算透明度,但有时也关注参与性透明度或微观透明度。最后,
