The Resident Participation Budget System is a program that allows residents to directly propose projects to address inconveniences in daily life or local issues and to participate in the budgeting process. Seongbuk District has been operating this system since enacting the 'Ordinance on the Operation of the Seongbuk District Resident Participation Budget System' in 2011.

The total scale of the proposed projects for 2027 is 1.5 billion won, with 1 billion won allocated for district-level projects and 500 million won for neighborhood-level projects. Any Seongbuk District resident can propose projects aimed at improving resident welfare and local development. Applications can be submitted online through the Seongbuk District website (www.sb.go.kr), or in person at the neighborhood community centers and the Autonomy Administration Division of the Seongbuk District Office.

Submitted project proposals will be reviewed by the respective departments and refined through deliberation by the Resident Participation Budget Committee. Afterwards, they will be finalized through a resident vote and a general residents' assembly. The selected projects will be included in the 2027 budget and implemented accordingly.
