Observed disproportions in the development of commune self-governments show at a lot of factors that determine development, amongst which, in view of the uniform system of entitlements, the competences of legislative authorities and qualifications of councillors are significant. Besides deciding on specific decisions (of e.g. passing the plan of incomes and expenses or budget, determining the amount of tax rates, deciding on investments and the way of raising extra financial resources) councillors also construct the formalized system which shapes the process of managing, so they legislate procedures of developing the decisions.

The article discusses the role of the personal characteristics of candidates in municipal elections as important factors infl uencing the candidates’ election success. Voters lacking suffi cient or relevant information about the candidates and their political preferences can use knowledge of the candidates’ personal characteristics as specifi c cues or shortcuts in their choice. On the other hand, the candidates’ personal characteristics are the private resources they can use to infl uence the chance to getting elected. The article uses a logistic regression to analyse the impact of candidates’ personal characteristics on their electoral success in Czech municipal elections. A list of all candidates in the elections was used, including information about their sociodemographic and political characteristics and their election results. First examined is how a candidate’s ranking on the list of candidates can depend on his or her personal characteristics. Second, how a candidate’s election success can depend on his or her position on the list of candidates and on his or her personal characteristics is analysed. The list of candidates for the 2010 elections was combined with lists of candidates for several previous elections in order to investigate the infl uence of incumbency. The results suggest that incumbency is the dominant independent factor explaining the election success of individual candidates, yet other characteristics, such as sex, education, age or membership in political parties are important as well. In small municipalities, the situation differs in some aspects from that in cities.

The paper demonstrates the results of research on the perception of security bycouncilors in selected municipalities and cities in the West Pomeranian Region and Lubuskie Region. The survey was conducted at the turn of 2015 and 2016 and involved 126 councilors – 78.26% of those who formally worked in the surveyed councils. The results of the survey were compared to the findings of the study of Poles conducted by the CBOS at the end of 2014. The analysis showed that the councilors’ assessment of security and factors threatening security varies. Councilors were more concerned about the political chaos in Poland, the influx of refugees, as well as cyber-attacks and terrorist threats. Their views were also shown to have been affected by such factors as gender, the number of terms in a local government and political preferences.

W artykule zaprezentowano własne wyniki badań dotyczących postrzegania bezpieczeństwa przez radnych wybranych gmin i miast z województwa zachodniopomorskiego i lubuskiego. Zostały one przeprowadzone na przełomie 2015 i 2016 r. W badaniu wzięło udział 126 radnych – 78,26% spośród tych, którzy formalnie pracowali w badanych radach. Rezultaty badań porównano do wniosków z badania ogółu Polaków przeprowadzonego przez CBOS pod koniec 2014 r. Dokonana analiza pokazała, że radni oceniają poziom bezpieczeństwa i czynniki mu zagrażające nieco odmiennie. Radni wykazywali większe obawy dotyczące chaosu politycznego w Polsce, napływu uchodźców, a także ataków cybernetycznych oraz zagrożeń terrorystycznych. Wykazano również, że na poglądy radnych wpływ miały takie czynniki jak płeć, staż samorządowy oraz preferencje polityczne.

The archbishop of Capua, Antonio Caetani (1566–1624), was an eminent member of a Roman aristocratic family. From 1607 to 1611, he resided at the Imperial court of Prague as Apostolic Nuncio in the service to Pope Paul V, where he witnessed the turmoil that gradually overwhelmed Bohemia, ruled at that point by Emperor Rudolf II of the House of Habsburg. Caetani moved in an orbit characterised by various coexisting political, local, confessional and social forces. His negotiations within the maze of the court were characterised by a wise and cautious approach of not interfering openly in Imperial affairs: a sort of ‘wait-and-see’ policy that was almost inevitable. This was firstly because of the Imperial ministers, who, instead of acting as a conduit to reach the ears of the sovereign, were actually considered obstructive and unhelpful because of their private aims, personal resentments, and often-outright hostility. Secondly, Caetani’s mission was hampered by the Rudolf II's suspicious nature: the Emperor feared papal intrusion in Imperial affairs. The papal nuncios did not merely embody the pope; they were also political subjects within networks of interpersonal relationships. Within these networks, they could practice their diplomatic roles, and also carry out (their own) personal affairs. Below, I will attempt to demonstrate how Caetani’s political strategy failed to establish fruitful relations with the courtiers and the Emperor.

The town hall in small Polish towns from the 15th to the 16th century(Summary) This article attempts to find an answer to the question about the presence and role of town halls in very small and small Polish towns (i.e. in centres with a population of from several hundred to just over one thousand people) in the 15th to 16th centuries. Notes made in the town’s ledgers, which included expenses related to the functioning of the town halls, as well as all other mention of such halls in the town’s books and in surveys were analysed. Based on these meagre sources it is difficult to answer with any certainty the question about when the construction of town halls in small centres began. This phenomenon was visible from at least the mid-15th century, although some of the towns of interest to us already had town halls earlier – in the first half of the 15th century. The town hall was perceived by everyone as being a significant element attesting to the fact that a given centre could be called a town. Although the construction and then the maintenance of this attribute of urban culture required both financial means and organization which often exceeded the abilities of small town communities, the desire to build town halls and the planning of such enterprises are clearly visible. Town halls in smaller towns had reduced functions compared with those in large centres; however, far-reaching analogies can be observed. Apart from a residential function, the town halls in small towns served as archives, sometimes also as prisons, it is where trading was conducted, meetings held, and where information was exchanged.

Instytucja incompatibilitas w prawie samorządu terytorialnego

Istotę incompatibilitas stanowi zakaz łączenia przez jedną osobę dwóch lub więcej funkcji publicznych, przy czym niedopuszczalność kumulowania przez dany podmiot tych funkcji zachodzi wówczas, jeśli pomiędzy wynikającymi z nich kompetencjami występuje wewnętrzny konflikt. Konflikt ten wpływa z kolei negatywnie na jakość, efektywność i bezstronność wykonywanych zadań. W celu eliminowania ujemnych następstw realizacji przez osoby pełniące funkcje publiczne rozbieżnych kompetencji, nieodzowne stało się zatem ustanowienie zakazów łączenia określonych funkcji z innymi funkcjami lub stanowiskami państwowymi, a także ze sprawowaniem mandatu przedstawicielskiego. Adresatami tych zakazów są, między innymi, radni i pracownicy samorządowi.

EN

The essence of incompatibilitas is a ban on combining by one person of two or more public functions. The inadmissibility of accumulation by a given operator of these functions takes place if an internal conflict occurs between competences arising from those. This conflict, in turn, has a negative impact on the quality, efficiency and impartiality of tasks carried out. Thus, in order to eliminate negative consequences of the implementation by public officials of divergent competences it became necessary to establish prohibitions of combining certain functions with other functions or public positions, as well as with a representative’s office. The addressees of these prohibitions are, inter alia, councillors and local government staff.

Achieving this goal re-quires relevant information, and the main sources of information about results are finan-cial and budget statements, which are the basic products of accounting. This information is used by various users, including councillors, who are the decision-making and controlling body of communes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of the information provided by financial and budget statements for management purposes from the point of view of councillors Method/approach: The article uses the survey method. A questionnaire was emailed to 800 councillors of rural, urban and urban-rural municipalities. The survey was conducted in 2020, and 65 completed questionnaires were received. Findings: The information provided by public sector accounting supports decision-making in municipalities. Both budget reports and financial reports are essential for management purposes. The annual report on the implementation of the budget is transparent for coun-cillors, and the information contained therein allows for effective management of the finances of communes. Originality/value: The article provides information about the usefulness of financial and budget statements to the management of the commune. It shows the viewpoint of one group of stakeholders – councillors.

Cel: Obecnie od podmiotów sektora finansów publicznych wymaga się funkcjonowania w sposób efektywny. Osiągnięcie tego celu wymaga dostarczenia odpowiednich informacji dla jego realizacji. Podstawowym źródłem informacji o osiągniętych wynikach są sprawozdania finansowe i budżetowe, będące podstawowymi produktami rachunkowości. Z informacji, korzystają różni użytkownicy, w tym radni, którzy są organem stanowiącym i kontrolnym gminy. Dlatego celem niniejszego opracowania jest ocena użyteczności informacji dostar-czanej przez sprawozdawczość finansową i budżetową dla celów zarządzania z punktu widzenia radnych. Metodyka/podejście badawcze: W artykule wykorzystano metodę badań sondażowych. Kwestionariusz ankietowy wysłano drogą mailową do 800 radnych gmin: wiejskich, miej-skich, miejsko-wiejskich. Badanie przeprowadzono w roku 2020 i otrzymano 65 wypełnio-nych kwestionariuszy ankietowych. Wyniki: Wyniki badań wskazują, że informacje dostarczane przez rachunkowość sektora publicznego pomagają w podejmowaniu decyzji w gminach. Sprawozdania zarówno budże-towe, jak i finansowe są istotne dla zarządzania. Roczne sprawozdanie z wykonania budżetu jest przejrzyste dla radnych, a informacje w nim zawarte pozwalają na efektywne zarzą-dzanie finansami gmin. Oryginalność/wartość: Artykuł zawiera informacje o przydatności sprawozdań finanso-wych i budżetowych do zarządzania gminą. Pokazuje punkt widzenia jednej grupy intere-sariuszy – radnych.

The paper presents research that was conducted during the term of office 2010–2014 among elected representatives of the cities of Opole and Olomouc. The aim of the research was to compare attitudes of local representatives, councillors of the given cities, toward selected reforms and particular tools devised to enhance civic participation and local democratic governance. The authors argue that attitudes and opinions of the representatives of both cities differ primarily in those areas in which they have own experience within the existing institutional setting (local referendum, participatory budgeting etc.).

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania postaw oraz opinii przedstawicieli samorządów, które przeprowadzono w kadencji 2010–2014 w Opolu oraz Ołomuńcu. Badania miały na celu porównanie poglądów i postaw radnych wobec wybranych narzędzi związanych z partycypacją i demokratycznym sposobem sprawowania władzy na poziomie lokalnym. Badania wykazały, że poglądy i postawy polityków na wybieralnych stanowiskach najbardziej różnią się w tych kwestiach, w których polscy i czescy samorządowcy mają osobiste doświadczenie (np. referendum, budżet obywatelski).
