Rozvoj miest a jeho financovanie

The importance of cities in the economic system of the country is unquestionable. They group and attract a large number of economic actors and allow them to realize intense economic interactions between them. To offer long-term benefits for inhabitants and entrepreneurs and remain attractive for them, cities need to develop continuously. Ensuring the development of the city means to create and acquire resources to increase its capacity and use of the available potential. This article deals with the financial capacity of Slovak cities, which reflects their ability to ensure their development. The financial capacity of Slovak cities was investigated in time period 2009 – 2014. Investigated were all 138 Slovak cities and they were divided into three size groups: small cities with population up to 20 000 inhabitants, medium-sized cities with population between 20 001 and 50 000 inhabitants and large cities over 50 001 inhabitants. The evaluation of financial capacity was realized on six indicators: current account balance, capital account balance, total debt, debt service, immediate liquidity and net worth. The comparison of the calculated values of each group showed that the highest amount of resources allocate to their development the group of largest cities. On the other hand, that group has also the highest debt

Partnerstvá v regionálnej a komunálnej politike SR

Kompatibilita regionálnej a komunálnej politiky SR s európskym štandardom vyžaduje, aby sa v nej začali dôsledne uplatňovať princípy zjednocujúce národné regionálne politiky v ekonomickom a politickom priestore EÚ: negociácie, programovania, partnerstva, subsidiarity a solidarity. Európske vplyvy a trhové prostredie iniciujú postupnú transformáciu centralistického riadenia na koordinačno-negociačné, bilaterálne alebo multilaterálne rozhodovanie všetkých reálnych subjektov regionálnej a komunálnej rozvojovej politiky: inštitúcií verejnej správy na regionálnej a lokálnej úrovni, podnikateľských subjektov, vzdelávacích, vedeckovýskumných, poradenských inštitúcií, reprezentatívnych združení podnikateľov a ďalších fyzických a právnických osôb. Na úrovni regiónov a obcí v SR sú vytvorené elementárne predpoklady pre uskutočňovanie regionálnej politiky na princípe partnerstva verejného a súkromného sektora: právny rámec, kompetentné regionálne a lokálne vlády, decentralizovaný systém verejných rozpočtov a možnosť získania doplnkových finančných zdrojov najmä zo štrukturálnych fondov EÚ. Predmetom nášho príspevku je prezentácia niektorých výsledkov výskumného projektu, štátneho programu výskumu a vývoja „Analýza podnikateľského prostredia a bariér absorpčnej schopnosti regiónov“, ktorého súčasťou bol aj prieskum stavu a foriem partnerstiev, iniciovaných samosprávou regiónov a obcí vo vybraných regiónoch SR.Partnerships in Regional and Municipal Policy in Slovakia Compatibility of Slovak regional and municipal policy with the EU standard requires consistent application of principles that unite national regional policies in economic and political arena of the EU: principles of negotiation, programming, partnership, subsidiarity and solidarity. European influences and market environment initiate a transformation of centralistic management into coordination negotiation, bilateral or multilateral decision-making of all relevant subjects of regional and municipal development policy: public bodies at regional and local levels, business entities, educational bodies, research and development organisations, advisory bodies, business associations and other entrepreneurs and corporations. Elementary assumptions for realisation of regional policy using partnership principle in public and private sectors, such as legal framework, authorised regional and local governments, decentralised system of public budgets and a possibility of acquiring additional financial sources mainly from the EU Structural funds, are created in the regions and municipalities of Slovakia. The aim of this paper is to present several outcomes of the research project “Analysis of Business Environment and Barriers of Absorption Capacity of Regions” as a part of the state research programme, where one of the chapters dealt with a survey of current status and forms of partnerships begun with local and regional self-governments in chosen regions of Slovakia
