SUKCESY I PORAŻKI JEDNOSTEK POMOCNICZYCH SAMORZĄDU TERYTORIALNEGO W POZNANIU I KALISZU W OPINIACH ICH DZIAŁACZY
(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2006) Matczak, Piotr; Figiel, Agnieszka
The revival of local government in Poland in 1990 paved the way for auxiliary units, the so called district councils, that have been established to strengthen the communities within cities. The paper presents the results of the study focused on the barriers and available incentives that district councils in Kalisz and Poznań encounter in their activities. The analysis of the councilors’ opinions shows that their accomplishments in the sphere of culture and infrastructure are those which they consider a success. However, in Kalisz, the successes are not correlated with the expenses particular areas, while in Poznań, such a correlation occurs. Failures are perceived in the areas of infrastructure and relations with the city. In neither case the correlation between failure perception and expenses was detected. In Poznan, the prevailing system o f incentives encourages greater efforts because the undertaken actions and activities create the feeling of success. This can be attributed to a greater amount of resources when compared with Kalisz, where the resources are much too little to create adequate conditions for satisfactory activity.
