ABSTRACT
This paper presents a study on participatory budgeting in Poland, analyzing participatory budgeting procedures. We apply the typology of participation models proposed by Sintomer, and based on the previous research we investigate which model of participatory budgeting is characteristic for Poland. This study covered 49 cases of participatory budgeting implementation in Western Poland, mainly in the Wielkopolska Province and the neighboring provinces. The results show that none of the municipalities covered by the study had a relatively pure participatory budgeting model, as proposed by Sintomer. The procedures in the analyzed municipalities can be characterized as the patchwork participatory budgeting model.
