მოქალაქეთა ჩართულობის ფორმები ადგილობრივი თვითმმართველობის განხორციელებაში (მარტვილის მუნიციპალიტეტის მაგალითზე)

Community involment is important element in every aspect of local government. There are many different mechanisms for participation and involement in the world practice, in all the legislative as well as in traditions and civil culture. The efficiency of the activities of the self-governments is much depended on proper operation of these mechanisms. For sure, this issue is relevant for Georgia and its municipalities as well. Enlarged self-governing units were formed especially after self-governing reforms. It should be noted, that study in individual municipalities shows, that the issue is not well-researched and the example of Martvili municipality illustrates citizens' insufficient involvement in the proces. The main reason for this might be that the population does not actually know what the involvement is, therefore, they do not know their actual rights.
The major contribution of this work to the scientific field lies in the fact that, for the first time in Martvili municipality, problems of citizens’ involvement will be completely researched based on the case of Martvili municipality. Moreover, the paper reveals hindering factors in the process of involvement. In addition, it analyzes the legislative base and the major disadvantages of it. Finally, the paper provides several suggestions and reccomendations.
