Roles and Expectations - Conceptual Framework for Development and Decisionmaking of City Borroughs

Qualitative research and evaluation of current tendencies with representatives of city borroughs focusing on chosen issues regarding governance, spatial planning and development strategies. Project focuses on problems and potentials connected to planning and decisionmaking processes within "big and small city borroughs" from the perspective of public administration. Research deals with expectations, presumptions, consequences connected to decisionmaking in certain area and problems with realisation of certain agendas (management of property, education, culture, social issues) and cooperation with other subjects and stakeholders. To be able to implement the project the crosssectoral cooperation is needed with sociologists and experts within public administration. Output of the project will consist of structured and semistructured interviews with mayors (chosen representatives of city and city departments and administration), questionnaires (open and closed questions) and evaluation with suggestions.
