The human capital constitutes one of the basic elements of the territorial system. The social capital is a one of main pre-conditions of the local development. The subject of this paper is the management focused on the social and human capital's development in the neighborhoods burdened with crisis phenomena. Such type of areas demand a complex urban regeneration, including social, economic and spatial processes. The urban regeneration of neighborhoods demands the use of pro-social managerial instruments, surpassing the legally defined tasks and duties. The inclusion of the local community to the territorial management is effected on three levels through: the information, the consultation and the public participation in the decision making processes. The pro-social managerial instruments can be described in two cross-sections. The first of them is related to the phases of the management process, distinguishing such tools as: planning, organizing, management and control. The second view differentiates managerial tools taking into consideration the different level of the public commitment. Then we can discern: the steering and the borderline delimitation, as examples of the regulatory intervention, as well as the own activity and the stimulation of an inter-sector cooperation as examples of the activation. Listed above, two cross-sections of the pro-social managerial instruments create the matrix of dependencies, allowing to use: information, consultation and public participation tools. The final conclusions of the paper concern the necessary organizational change which has to be implemented in the public administration offices in order to enable the use of the instruments described above.

Public participation is a comprehensive social science concept of interdisciplinary character, with the impact on the society. This paper is concentrated on public participation in settlement development at the local level in Slovakia as well as in international context. It takes into consideration social and historical origins of participation and reflects some issues of citizen participation in the development of settlement structures in Slovakia. The significance of citizen participation in settlement development lies in the fact that citizens create their settlement environment according to their social needs and at the same time under this process they get changed too. Participating citizens cease to be apathetic towards their social and settlement environment and take responsibility for the activities within their communities. It is continual process of improving the settlement conditions and its implication is to reach the wishful shape of environment and to develop local community with its identity and social cohesion. Citizen participation connects personal and group interests as well as the interests of local communities with public well-being. The paper points out the mechanisms of participation in the settlement development and clarifies the legal framework for public participation in the Slovak as well as in the international context. At the same time the paper points out the prevailing forms of contribution projects, based on the principles of partnership and cooperation, the objective of which was to coordinate mutual activities of the stakeholders oriented towards solutions of local and regional issues of the settlements in Slovakia. Several identified issues of the citizen participation at the local level are brought forward. They are based on the results from sociological surveys of local democracy and the process of participation has been illustrated by the contextual analysis of the implemented citizen participation project in the frame of an international research and development project “Ecocity”.
