Partycypacja obywatelska w procesach decyzyjnych samorządu gminnego
Civic participation in the decision making processes of municipal self government

Summary/Abstract: The first decade of the revived functioning of local self government in Poland was a time of constructing system solutions, setting up the structure of local self governing bodies, and defining the catalogue of public tasks carried out by these units. Both then and in the years that followed, tools were developed to enable direct citizen participation in the governance of their local community. This study aims to outline the process of developing the tools for direct management of the municipality – the basic unit of local government – by its inhabitants over the last thirty plus years and, therefore, to present the most important procedures and mechanisms for citizen co determination on the shape of their small homelands.
