ANALIZA PROBLEMATIKE FINANCIRANJA OBČIN

MARN, PETRA (author), Klun, Maja (mentor)

Najbližja oblast prebivalcem v Republiki Sloveniji so občine, ki morajo za opravljanje zakonsko določenih nalog in za izvajanje svojih pristojnosti razpolagati z ustreznimi finančnimi sredstvi. Finančna avtonomija slovenskih občin je nizka, saj se srečujejo z zadolževanjem, dodatnimi sredstvi finančne izravnave iz državnega proračuna in ustreznostjo obstoječe formule za izračun primerne porabe. Raziskovalni izziv magistrskega dela je analizirati problematiko financiranja slovenskih občin in ugotoviti, kako deluje financiranje občin s strani države na Hrvaškem. Cilj naloge je tudi analizirati zakonsko določeno povprečnino oz. povprečnino, ki bi po veljavni zakonodaji pripadala 212 slovenskim občinam. Ker se za vse občine, ki so po površini in po številu prebivalcev povsem različne, upošteva povsem enaka formula izračuna primerne porabe, je predmet naloge tudi analiziranje koeficientov oz. spremenljivk navedene formule. Deskriptivna metoda mi je služila za predstavitev nalog in obveznosti občin ter za predstavitev sistema financiranja občin; z metodo kompilacije pa sem povzela stališča oz. dosedanje raziskave, ki so bile opravljene glede primernosti financiranja slovenskih občin in določanja višine povprečnine. Z metodo anketiranja med občinami sem ugotovila dejansko stanje ustreznosti sistema financiranja občin in pridobila mnenja glede koeficientov oz. spremenljivk izračuna primerne porabe občin in novele Zakona o financiranju občin. V magistrskem delu so podani tudi konkretni predlogi za spremembo zakonodaje na področju financiranja občin. Predlogi za spremembo so podani na podlagi empirične raziskave, ki je bila opravljena med občinami. Rezultati empirične raziskave so namreč pokazali, da so občine mnenja, da je sprememba zakonodaje, ki se nanaša na financiranje občin, potrebna.

• Title: ANALYSIS OF MUNICIPAL FUNDING ISSUE

Abstract

In the Republic of Slovenia, the municipalities are the authorities that are the closest to people. In order to fulfil the tasks prescribed by law and to exercise their responsibilities, they have to distribute financial resources appropriately. Financial autonomy of municipalities in Slovenia is quite low as they face debt, additional funding to financial compensation coming from national budget, and the issue of the adequacy regarding the calculated volume of eligible expenditure for the municipality. The research object of this Master’s thesis is to analyse issues of municipal funding and to determine how does state funding function in Croatia. The second object is to examine statutory lump-sum, a payment that, under the legislation currently in force, belongs to 212 Slovenian municipalities. For every municipality, there is an exactly the same formula for calculating the expenditure, not taking into consideration the land area nor the number of inhabitants. The third goal is therefore to analyse the ratio and the coefficients in the aforementioned formula. We used descriptive method to present duties and obligations of the municipalities, and the municipal financial management system. With compilation method, we summarised opinions or previous studies about the adequacy of funding in Slovenian municipalities and determining lump-sum amounts. We carried out the survey about the factual situation of the adequacy of funding by interviewing functionaries from different municipalities, and sought views and opinions about the variables or the coefficients in the formula for eligible expenditure of municipalities and about the law amending Financing of Municipalities Act. This Master’s thesis contains concrete proposals for legislative amendments concerning municipal funding. The proposals are based on empirical research that was executed among the functionaries from different municipalities. According to the results of the research, they believe that legislative amendment regarding municipal funding is most needed.
