Integrating SDGs into Municipal Budgeting: A Methodological Framework for Mixed-Methods Research
Original language description
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an important framework for transforming public policies towards greater sustainability. Local governments play a key role in their implementation, and the budget process is one of the main tools for translating goals into practice. Although the SDGs have become part of the strategic documents of many cities and municipalities, their actual reflection in budget decisions remains insufficiently researched. The paper presents a proposal for a methodological framework of the upcoming dissertation research, the aim of which is to analyse how the SDGs are integrated into municipal budget planning. The research is theoretically anchored in the concept of bounded rationality and uses a mixed-methods research design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The paper presents the research gap, research questions and objectives, proposed scientific hypotheses, methods of data collection and analysis.The integration of SDGs into local budgeting is examined not merely as a technical exercise, but as a complex decision-making process shaped by institutional, political, and behavioral dynamics. By combining document analysis, interviews, and survey data, the research aims to capture both the declared and actual implementation of sustainability principles in municipal finance. The expected outcomes include a better understanding of local governance practices and practical recommendations for enhancing strategic and sustainable budget planning.
