臺北市推動參與式預算的省思與未來策進

Reflection and Future Advancement of Participatory Budgeting in Taipei City

臺北市自2015年起開始推動參與式預算，秉持「開放政府、全民參與、公開透明」的施政理念，由民政局首訂「臺北市推動參與式預算制度公民提案與審查作業程序」，後續經與前臺北市政府公民參與委員會、官學聯盟陪伴師資團隊及市府各機關研商後修訂作業程序並陸續研擬相關計畫，逐步達成參與式預算政策模組化及制度化，更藉由建置「公民提案參與式預算資訊平臺」及「臺北市政府參與式預算提案管理系統」等數位平臺提供民眾認識參與式預算及官學聯盟的管道以及提案審議流程、活動報名、提案進度及執行成果等資訊，從而達致資訊完整揭露、程序公開透明、利於民眾瞭解運作模式及參與等目的。
第67期「參與式預算專題」中已有諸多「臺北市參與式預算制度」相關研究成果，臺北市推行參與式預算10年以來也憑藉官學聯盟師生們的相關研究或是陪伴過程的提點逐年調整執行方式，於本文中作者不僅將以「規劃執行者」的視角對此提出看法及補充，也將從「制度化的挑戰」、「提案議題化」、「提案審議流程再優化」、「官學聯盟再深化」、「效益評估多角化」及「資訊平臺知識化」等六大面向提出對於這場以政府部門為主體推動公民參與的大型社會實驗之反思與建議，以祈持續深化與多面向發展。

Since 2015, Taipei City has been promoting participatory budgeting. Adhering to the governance principles of“open government, public participation, and public transparency”, the Department of Civil Affairs initially established the“Procedures for Citizen Proposals and Review in the Participatory Budgeting System of Taipei City”. Subsequently, after discussions with the former Taipei City Government Citizen Participation Committee, the Government-academia Alliance mentorship team and various city agencies, the procedures were revised and related plans were gradually developed to achieve the modularization and institutionalization of participatory budgeting policies. Furthermore, digital platforms such as the“Citizen Proposed Participatory Budgeting Information Platform”and the“Taipei City Government Participatory Budgeting Proposal Management System”have been built to help the public learn about participatory budgeting and the Government-academia Alliance, and to provide information of proposal review processes, event registration, proposal progress and execution outcomes, thereby achieving comprehensive information disclosure, public transparency of procedures, and better understanding of the operating model of participatory budgeting and easier public participation for citizens.
In the 67th volume of the“Participatory Budgeting Project”, numerous research findings related to the“Taipei City Participatory Budgeting System”have been published. Over the past ten years of implementing participatory budgeting, Taipei City has continuously refined it's execution methods based on research conducted by the Government-academia Alliance and insights gained from the mentorship process. In this study, the author will not only provide perspectives and supplementary insights toward these related research results from the viewpoint of a“planner and executor”but will also provide reflections and recommendations for this large-scale social experiment, in which a government-led initiative engages citizen participation, from six key perspectives: challenges of institutionalization, agenda setting of proposals, further optimization of the proposal review process, further deepening of the Government-academia Alliance, diversifying of effectiveness assessments, and intelligentization of digital platforms, in the hope of continued deepening and multi-faceted development..
