The National Institute of Local Government (NIST) is a state budget unit subordinate to the Minister of Interior and Administration established on 3 September 2015 to carry out tasks for the harmonious development of territorial self-government and raising the standards of its operation and conducting rese- arch and analyzes in the field of local government. The most important areas of the Institute's activity include preparation of expert opinions, opinions and assessments regarding the functioning of local government. NIST also conducts educational, training and publishing activities. By September 30, 2018, the Institute received almost 12,000 support from 1710 local government units, which accounted for 61% of the total number of local authorities. The National Institute of Local Self-Government, carrying out statutory tasks, publishes its own publications on the functioning of the local government and the bulletin. From the beginning of NIST's activity, dozens of expert opinions, legal opinions and monographs were published, as well as numerous studies and rese- arch reports. NIST also operates a digital repository. The real support for local government units is the e-platform run by the Natio- nal Institute of Local Self-government, enabling the preparatory service for newly hired employees of local government administration. The e-training available at https://e-szkolenia.nist.gov.pl constitutes the supplement to the existing, traditio- nal offer of stationary training. In the period January - September 2018, more than 7,000 representatives of JST participated in e-learning education in total. In the area of the Institute's activity there is also the promotion of good stan- dards in the field of quality management in the local government. In December 2016, NIST took over the function and tasks of the CAF National Coordinator implemented so far by the Ministry of Interior and Administration. All information regarding the activities of the National Institute of Local Self- -government is available on the Institute's website https://www.nist.gov.pl/ We encourage you to cooperate with us!

  • To Apply the PHI to the Metropolitan Areas It Was Deemed Important to Identify the Adequated Administrative Level to Provide Evidence on Urban Inequalities
    Supplementary Material S1: Additional information on the Local Administrative Unit and delimitation of each metropolitan area. To apply the PHI to the metropolitan areas it was deemed important to identify the adequated administrative level to provide evidence on urban inequalities. For this study the definition of a municipality from the Encyclopædia Britannica was applied (http://www.britannica.com/topic/municipality): «A municipality is a political subdivision of a state within which a municipal corporation has been established to provide general local government for a specific population concentration in a defined area (…). The municipality is one of several basic types of local government, the others being counties, townships, school districts, and special districts».). However, European countries have a diversified system of local government in which several different categories exist. For instance, the term municipality may be applied in France to the commune, in Italy to comune and in Portugal to município. EUROSTAT has set up a hierarchical system of Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) and Local Administrative Units (LAUs). NUTS are organized into four levels. NUTS 0 correspond to the 28 EU countries. NUTS 1 are the major socio-economic regions within a given country. NUTS 2 are basic regions for the application of regional policies and NUTS 3 are small regions for specific diagnoses. Below, the Local Administrative Units are also organized into two hierarchical levels: The upper LAU level (LAU level 1) and the lower LAU level (LAU level 2). For most European countries, LAU-2 corresponds to municipalities, except for Bulgaria and Hungary (Settlements), Ireland (Districts), Lithuania (Elderships), Malta (Councils), Denmark (Municipalities), Greece (Municipalities), Portugal (Parishes), and the United Kingdom (Wards) [47] (Table S1).

Camilla Marucco Turku August 2014 The originality of this thesis has been checked in accordance with the University of Turku quality assurance system using the Turnitin Originality Check service. THE UNIVERSITY OF TURKU Baltic Sea Region Studies Faculty of Humanities MARUCCO, CAMILLA: Becoming Locals in a Borderland of Exiles. Sense of Place in the Stories of Lithuania Minor Dwellers. Master’s thesis, 119 p., 1 appendix page Baltic Sea Region Studies August 2014 This thesis deals with sense of place, the relation that we construct with our dwelling and the surrounding environment. The topic belongs to the field of human geography. Sense of place is deeply intertwined with the ideas of feeling at home and having a place where to return. I argue that narratives of life experience help us relate to the places we inhabit, go through, leave. My analysis concerns Lithuania Minor, the Lithuanian region lying by the border with Kaliningrad, and focuses in particular on Vilkyškiai, a village in the municipality of Pagėgiai. Most of the area’s original population disappeared in the war. After 1945, people from all over the country and the USSR settled here. This raised the prickly question of who belongs to the borderland. Refugees, migrants and settlers allow us to observe closely the development of sense of place and its main constituents. Through this analysis, I challenge the idea of people’s natural rights to places and shows how time, engagement in local-based cultural activities and recollection help foreigners become locals.

  • Roads and Risk in Rural Kenya
    Black Spots: Roads and Risk in Rural Kenya Amiel Bize Melnick Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 ©2018 Amiel Bize Melnick All rights reserved ABSTRACT Black Spots: Roads and Risk in Rural Kenya Amiel Bize Melnick This dissertation examines “post-agrarian” transformations in Kenyan rural areas. But where rural transformation is usually written as a story about land, Black Spots is a story about roads. Kenya’s massive investment in roads infrastructure over the last decade has intersected with the decline in smallholder agriculture in such a way that, for many rural residents, fortunes are now imagined on the road rather than on the land. Roadside trade, transport, and even salvage from crashes provide supplementary livings for rural populations facing declining agricultural opportunities. The dissertation argues that in the context of austerity policies and rural abandonment, road work and its “fast money” not only expose roadside residents to physical danger, but also entrench entrepreneurial risk ideology into local imaginaries. With the road accident as a lens illuminating a wider landscape of rural hazard, the dissertation shows how rural residents refashion relationships to land, work, technology, and loss in high-risk environments. At the same time, it demonstrates the limits of “risk”—that is, a calculated engagement with potential loss, conducted in the interest of profit—as a framework for managing contingency. In this sense, Black Spots is both an ethnography of risk and of what risk fails to capture. It tracks how rural residents learn to engage bodily and economic hazard and to understand it as risk; how they coordinate the disparate temporalities and technologies of life on the road and life on the land; and how they withstand loss when these attempts do not go as planned.
