Project duration: 
2009 - 2011

The project focuses on the possibilities and limits of local governments in small municipalities in the Czech Republic (less than 2000 inhabitants) to influence the situation in the community and to make use of its endogenous development potentials.

The research team analyses diverse relationships between formal and informal features of local governments and the development potentials of municipalities. The analysis is based on on qualitative and quantitative data.

The paper deals with the analysis of socio-economic and infrastructural differences of small commu¬nities disposing of their own local government and communities which form a part of a bigger mu¬nicipality and don’t dispose therefore of their own local government. The authors seek an answer to the question what impact has the administrative status of a community on its development. The results indicate that the impact of the administra¬tive status on development is generally weak.
