Citizens' budget as a tool to learn about social preferences in the field of landscape design

Journal Title: Acta Scientarum Polonorum Administratio Locorum - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3

Abstract

The article concerns the citizens’ budget (BO), understood as one of the forms of social participation, thanks to which the residents can directly (by voting) influence the expenditure from the budget of their city/commune/voivodeship. The aim of the work is to demonstrate that the citizens’ budget (BO) is a valuable tool to learn about social preferences in the field of landscape design. In the course of the research proceedings a general BO analysis was carried out in Poland and then, on the example of projects selected in subsequent editions of BO Lublin, the inhabitants’ needs were identified in relation to shaping the landscape of their city. In particular, attention was paid to their attitude to improving the city’s aesthetics and the role of green areas in the city. Analyzes have shown that projects related to aesthetics and greenery are becoming more and more popular, while among the BO projects winning the greatest support, infrastructure tasks (roads, sports) dominate.
