Summary/Abstract: The following volume of essays is a result of the research that was done from autumn 2015 until spring 2018 by an eleven-person research group of the Faculty of Law, University of Debrecen, who tried to look into what role local self-governments in Hungary had played in shaping environmental policy and environmental law. Further, it is a result of the partnership between the Faculty of Sciences and Arts, Cluj-Napoca of Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania and the Faculty of Law of the University of Debrecen. However, because of the complexity of the topic, besides the legal approach, it also includes other approaches and modes of interpretation, beginning with ecological aspects through public policy to a sociological approach and interpretation, while mixed research methods are used at the same time. Beyond classic legal methods such as legislative analysis, a questionnaire research among 516 local governments, different focus-group interviews have been used, and fieldwork among 10 local governments was carried out. These essays are meant for those who are interested in the issues of eco-villages, smart cities, ecosystem services, environment protection practices, and environmental policy instruments or who are trying to obtain appropriate answers for the problems of integrating agricultural production and biodiversity, the general questions of waste management in Hungary and Romania, and the responsibility of local authorities.
