20.500.12556/RUL-174108 Teritorialni vidik delovanja slovenskih občin doktorska disertacija Territorial aspect of the functioning of Slovenian municipalities Lokalna samouprava je ključni element sodobnih demokracij. Ima pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju javnih dobrin in storitev ter pri razvoju družbene in gospodarske blaginje prebivalcev. Je tista raven oblasti, ki je najbližja občanom in zastopa njihove interese. Uresničuje se v občinah, ki so temeljne enote te samouprave. Velikost občine je vprašanje, ki se v strokovni literaturi veliko obravnava, saj vpliva na njeno delovanje in učinkovitost. Doktorska disertacija obravnava vprašanje optimalne velikosti slovenskih občin z analizo teritorialnega, funkcionalnega in normativnega vidika njihovega delovanja. Osredotoča se na število prebivalcev kot kriterij za določanje velikosti občin in razlikovanje med majhnimi in velikimi občinami. Analiza kaže, da sta bila pri zgodovinskem oblikovanju občin ključni politika in geografija, manj pa dejavniki, kot sta učinkovitost delovanja in participacija občanov. Kriteriji za minimalno potrebno število prebivalcev za ustanovitev občine, določeni v zakonodaji, se v praksi pogosto niso upoštevali. Rezultati raziskav med občani in župani razkrivajo različne poglede na prednosti in slabosti majhnih ter velikih občin. Občani so bolj zadovoljni v večjih občinah, ki zaradi obsega lažje vzdržujejo infrastrukturo in nudijo več storitev. Župani menijo, da je njihova občina ne glede na velikost ravno pravšnje velikosti za zadovoljevanje potreb občanov. Ključna ugotovitev je, da so se kriteriji za ustanavljanje občin v preteklih zgodovinskih obdobjih pogosto in izrazito spreminjali, pri čemer je prevladoval teritorialni vidik. To potrjuje hipotezo, da je pri določanju velikosti in meja občin doslej primat igrala politika terena, ne pa toliko učinkovitost, storitve ali vključenost občanov. Povzamemo lahko, da je treba pri določanju velikosti občin poleg teritorialnega vidika v večji meri upoštevati funkcionalni in participativni vidik, da se doseže ravnovesje med učinkovitostjo delovanja občin in vključenostjo ter zadovoljstvom občanov. Local self-government is a key element of modern democracies. It plays an important role in the provision of public goods and services and in the development of the social and economic well-being of its citizens. It is the level of government that is closest to the citizens and represents their interests. It is exercised in the municipalities, which are the basic units of this self-government. The size of a municipality is an issue that is widely discussed in the literature, as it has an impact on its functioning and effectiveness. The dissertation addresses the question of the optimal size of Slovenian municipalities through an analysis of the territorial, functional and normative aspects of their functioning. It focuses on the number of inhabitants as a criterion for determining the size of municipalities and the distinction between small and large municipalities. The analysis shows that politics and geography have been key factors in the historical formation of municipalities, less so factors such as efficiency and citizen participation. The criteria for the minimum number of inhabitants required to establish a municipality, set out in legislation, have often not been respected in practice. The results of surveys conducted among citizens and mayors reveal different views on the advantages and disadvantages of small and large municipalities. Citizens are more satisfied in larger municipalities, which are better able to maintain infrastructure and provide more services due to their size. However, mayors feel that their municipality, whatever its size, is just the right size to meet the needs of citizens. A key finding is that the criteria for establishing municipalities have changed frequently and markedly in the different historical periods, with territorial considerations dominating. This supports the hypothesis that the politics of terrain, and not so much efficiency, services or citizen involvement, have so far played a dominant role in determining the size and boundaries of municipalities. To sum up, in addition to the territorial aspect, the functional and participatory aspects should be taken into account to a greater extent when determining the size of municipalities, in order to strike a balance between the efficiency of municipal operations and the involvement and satisfaction of citizens. lokalna samouprava občina ozemlje velikost občine zgodovina Slovenija local self-government municipality territory size of a municipality history Slovenia true true false A.
