自2015年至今，臺中市已經舉辦了兩次「參與式預算」，陸續在中區、清水、豐原、大里等四個行政區範圍內執行。參與式預算起源於巴西愉港，是審議民主常見的公民參與模式之一。自1980年代中期以來，政治理論對於民主的思考，已逐漸由過去「選舉為中心」的投票民主，轉向以「討論為中心」的審議式民主，主張公民才是民主體制的參與主體，所有受決策影響的公民或其代表，都應該要能夠透過知情、理性、平等的溝通後參與集體決定。本課程將並重理論與實務，從臺中市參與式預算出發，介紹國內外參與式預算發展概況。
修課後對國內外參與式預算的實踐與審議民主具有務實的理解，並增加社會學想像與社會學分析運用的實作能力。尤其期望透過對臺中市參與式預算推動計畫的近距離觀察與批判性認識，能進一步融會貫通國內外參與式預算各案例，從更寬廣的理論與實作視角審視不同形式「審議民主」的可能性與限制。
課程前半著重了解審議民主精神與參與式預算發展歷史，並利用課堂研究分析報告與討論、田野調查分享等方式，充實社會學想像與參與式預算實作的能力。
課程後半展開實作訓練，進行校外參訪、接觸在地社群等社會實踐，並利用課堂規劃報告與討論、撰寫田野心得等方式，具體練習社會學實作的能力。

Since 2015, Taichung City has held "participatory budgeting" twice, and has successively implemented it in the four administrative districts of Central District, Qingshui, Fengyuan, and Dali. Participatory budgeting originated in Porto, Brazil, and is one of the common citizen participation models in deliberative democracy. Since the mid-1980s, political theory's thinking on democracy has gradually shifted from the past "election-centered" voting democracy to "discussion-centered" deliberative democracy. It advocates that citizens are the main participants in the democratic system. All citizens or their representatives affected by decision-making should be able to participate in collective decisions through informed, rational, and equal communication. This course will pay equal attention to theory and practice, starting from the participatory budgeting in Taichung City, and introduce the development overview of participatory budgeting at home and abroad.
After taking the course, you will have a pragmatic understanding of the practice of participatory budgeting and deliberative democracy at home and abroad, and increase your practical ability in sociological imagination and sociological analysis. In particular, I hope that through close observation and critical understanding of Taichung City’s participatory budget promotion plan, we can further integrate various domestic and foreign participatory budget cases, and examine the possibilities and limitations of different forms of “deliberative democracy” from a broader theoretical and practical perspective.
The first half of the course focuses on understanding the spirit of deliberative democracy and the development history of participatory budgeting, and uses methods such as classroom research analysis reports and discussions, fieldwork sharing, etc. to enrich sociological imagination and the ability to implement participatory budgeting.
In the second half of the course, practical training is carried out, and social practices such as off-campus visits and contact with local communities are carried out. Class planning reports and discussions, and field experience writing are used to concretely practice the ability to practice sociology.
