Modele zarządzania na poziomie dzielnic: przypadek polski

Abstracts

PL

W artykule zaproponowano nowe modele zarządzania na poziomie dzielnic i ich typologię, które pozwalają zrozumieć, skategoryzować i porównać struktury zarządzania dzielnicowego na obszarach miejskich. Modele oparto na układzie instytucjonalnym i funkcjonalnym, w którym charakter modelu określają tworzone organy, ich kompetencje i instrumenty ich realizacji wraz z wielkością środków finansowych, którymi dysponują. W rezultacie powstały trzy alternatywne modele (administracyjny, pośredni i partycypacyjny). Druga część artykułu zawiera wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w 66 polskich miastach na prawach powiatu. Ich systemy zarządzania dzielnicami zostały skategoryzowane i umieszczone w ramach proponowanych modeli. Wykazano, że tylko Warszawa wdrożyła model administracyjny, a w większości miast funkcjonuje model pośredni i partycypacyjny.

The paper proposes new models of neighbourhood governance and their typology, which enable to understand, categorise and compare the neighbourhood governance structures in the urban areas. The models were based on the institutional and functional setting, in which the bodies created, their competences and instruments for their implementation, along with the amount of financial means at their disposal define the character of the model. As a result, three alternative models were created (administrative, intermediate, and participative). The second part contains the results of research conducted in 66 Polish county cities. Their neighbourhood governance systems were categorized and put into the frames of the proposed models. It was proved that only Warsaw implemented the administrative model, and most of the cities practice the intermediate and participative models.
