The paper presents issues related to the legal aspects of administrative procedure of changes to the boundaries of communities. An analysis of legal provisions regulating this process, point to the many uncertainties of interpretation which may occur in practice.

The authors in particular draw attention to issues of public consultation undertaken during the procedural changes for the boundaries of cities, including a local referendum.

The paper deals with issues of the competence of municipality as a key concept of the theory and practice of public administration. It can be assumed that the municipality is a kind of element between civil society and the state. This fact has, resp. should have an impact not only on the nature of territorial self-government and public administration, but also on the nature of the municipality’s competence. For this reason, the author prefers the divided competence of the municipality. He is of the opinion that the original (own) competence of the municipality should be the predominant segment of the competence of the municipality and the elements of non-sovereign administration should predominate in its activities. It presents some inspiring foreign suggestions, draws attention to the prevailing problems, as well as possible modifications in terms of determining the competence of the municipality. It draws attention to the consequences of the nationalization of local self-government. He criticizes the non-traditional way of defining the competence as a “liquid” competence of the municipality.

The issue of municipal reform is clearly one of the major topics related to whole society. Many authors agree with its necessity, but their views of further direction of municipal reform diverge. On one hand there are preferences of maintaining the current model of cooperation with the legislative rules of cooperation being clearly defined. On the other hand, there is a preference for more radical solution in the form of merger. Inspiration for such action consists of several countries in Europe and the world, in which municipal reform has taken place. Less attention is paid to the various criticisms of authors regarding negative consequences of municipal reforms countries. The specific consequences that can bring merging municipalities will be of interest to present in this contribution. In this case, the primary evaluation measure will consist of the views of representatives of municipalities, therefore mayors of rural municipalities and mayors of cities.

The paper presents the changes in the HRM regulations in local self-government administration which took place in 2008. These changes concern personnel selection, professional development, appraisal and remuneration of public administration staff. The new regulations enable greater independence and flexibility of public administration units as regards HRM. The paper also offers a tentative assessment of the implementation of the changes in commune councils. It seems that the quality of HRM depends on the size of the institution (number of personnel) and its location (size of community). In many small councils, HRM mainly focuses on personnel selection, remuneration policies and other basic operational activities; whereas the new principles are not fully implemented.

The paper explores various policy designs of financial aid provided above the legal standard in some of the municipalities in the Czech Republic and aims to describe the specifics of those of the designs which were introduced by civil servants. The paper is theoretically based on the concepts of social construction of target populations, street-level bureaucracy and co-operation between politicians and civil servants. The case study of nine policy designs of the financial aid in five Czech municipalities reveal that both the role of civil servants introducing policy and the level of their discretion are derived from the relationship of the civil servant with respective politician. Financial aid introduced by civil servants has – compared to the aid introduced by politicians – lower budget and its target populations are narrower. At the same time, the civils servants´ designs support individuals from generally negatively constructed populations who are usually addressed by repressive policies.

According to the Slovak legal system, it has been possible since 1964 in small variations to demand the protection of the factual (peaceful) situation in the village. The municipality provides protection under the substantive law of civil law, but the procedural procedure is governed by the provisions of administrative law. Perhaps that is why it raises such concerns among municipalities and its application is still low, and the institute has the ambition to relieve the courts in some cases of the provisional protection provided if intervention is prohibited or, above all, if peace is restored. At present, the biggest challenges are the correct wording of statements of decision, based on well-formulated proposals, as well as the procedural procedures themselves, which are often incorrectly applied as a remnant of socialism, as commissions used by municipalities to deal with have been part of national committees in the past. However, at present, they are not bodies of the municipality, but of the municipal council, ie they do not have decision-making power. These procedures are used mainly in resolving neighbourhood disputes, as the most common disputes resolved in the municipality. With a detailed description and critical considerations, the author tries to point out the legal administrative procedures and point out the nuances of the application and implementation of the institute and at the same time present relevant, original, unpublished research focused on the use of the institute of preliminary protection in resolving neighbourhood disputes in the Košice region and its analysis.

The author analyses Peter Eschenloer’s Wrocław Chronicle from the second half of the fifteenth century. His interpretations are based on the theory of the relationship between power, space and representation. The Wrocław chronicler simultaneously defended the denial of the city’s obedience to the Bohemian king (who was in dispute with the pope) and condemned the riots provoked by the city’s municipality. The key part of the German-language version of Eschenloer’s chronicle takes place during a period when the town council faced a series of attacks to its authority. Eschenloer presents the reader with a “representation of (dis)order” in the form of the breakdown and disunity of the town and its consequences, laying groundwork that enables him to emphasize the legitimacy of the town councillors’ actions and present the bounds of their authority as inclusive of all public space.

The present study is based on research into the press, archive documents and literature of the time, as well as on more recent studies. The author traces the transformation of the city of Bratislava, which changed during the period 1918 - 1938 from a quiet provincial city into the important, modern, political, economic and cultural centre of Slovakia. In population it was the fourth largest city in the young Czechoslovak state. The city administration, elected local councils, the officials of Slovak national institutions that had been established in Bratislava and self-sacrificing enthusiastic personalities from various fields of social life all played important roles in this transformation. The period 1918 - 1923 was the initial phase of these changes, involving the end of the old Hungarian institutions and the creation of the new Czechoslovak state administration.
