Responsibilities and Limits of Local Government Actions against Users of Public Services of Planning and Sustainable Territorial Development in Romania.
Rezumat
In the context of the changes that have occurred in the Romanian
society, the public authorities are required to play a coordinating role
in providing the framework for a sustainable and balanced development
of the national territory, and to ensure the quality of life of the
citizens. In order to achieve these goals of social responsibility, the
public administration authorities must build and adapt the tools of
public territorial action based on their specificity and within the
existing legal framework and resources,. Thus, the study shows the
national and European context that frames the actions of public
administration for what concerns the sustainable territorial
development. It analyzes the characteristics of
administrative-territorial structures of Romania, highlighting their
socio-demographic diversity and the territorial forms of institutional
cooperation. The approach of these issues is based in the first instance
on an analysis of the European strategic documents in the field, as
well as on the national regulations concerning the organization and
functioning of public administration and territorial planning. The
implementation of decentralization and local public autonomy has led to
the capitalization of the local potential of some administrative
divisions and caused a competition and a difficult cooperation between
them. By analogy with the provisions of the quality standards regarding
the responsibilities of the organizations towards customers, the study
illustrates and analyzes the responsibilities and limits of public
administration authorities in promoting sustainable development,
territorial equity and the quality of life for the users of public
services, i.e. the community members.
