Abstract

Local government is an independent, autonomous body, which essentially prejudge its subject, object, and duties performed according to the principle of subsidiarity, autonomy, decentralization, democracy and freedom. The existing systems in Europe depend conducted by the state policy in the existing administrative structures and political and economic conditions assumed and adopted management systems. A model of decentralized administration can serve local government in France, in the UK, or in Germany. Polish system of local government is formed from seven centuries. Special stigma had on the partitioning and perturbation times in the last century. The foundations of the current system were laid twenty-two years ago. However, the construction of the districts does not meet the requirements of modern public administration, is subject to criticism, the more that subsequent governments take away their powers, thereby depriving them of the meaning of existence. The study addressed the above issues and possible solutions can be presented in block diagrams, which will be based on the observation of the historical background and the geopolitical environment and the existing legislation. Turn on here can also be conclusions derived from the survey areas of social, economic, and financial. Due to the limited length of this article, it will skip the detailed statistical analysis and will be only a reference to the conclusions of analytical tests. Correction system of districts is essential. The best solution seems to be a correction of the competence of those local government units. Nevertheless, the need for further, are more detailed analysis of situation of Polish rural districts.
