The municipality of Ljubljana has 17 districts - neighbourhood communities, which differ from each other in terms of size, geography and number of inhabitants. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether all neighbourhood communities, despite their differences, operate in the same way, spend funds on the same programs, or whether there are major differences between them.
The method of data analysis was used in the preparation of this thesis. This method was used to check the use of funds by the district communities and whether they are using these funds to perform the tasks assigned to them by the municipality. It was established that the district communities with the use of funds meet the regulations of the City of Ljubljana and that they fulfil their mission and tasks. It was also established that neighbourhood communities spend funds at their own discretion, as there are greater discrepancies between them when spending is divided into segments.
The thesis represents a contribution to the study of local self-government and the study of narrower parts of municipalities. From the results of this thesis, we understand that within the city municipality of Ljubljana, its narrower parts have a high degree of autonomy, as far as the use of funds is concerned within the prescribed frameworks. From the results, we can also see that the parts of the city of Ljubljana really differ from each other, not only in terms of size and number of inhabitants, but also in terms of the needs and implementation of the programs of individual narrower parts.
