Negatívne aspekty zlučovania obcí v rámci komunálnych re-foriem – perspektíva na príklade Slovenskej republiky
Negative Aspects of Municipal Amalgamation within the Municipal Reform – the Perspective on the Example of the Slovak Republic

Summary/Abstract: Negative Aspects of Municipal Amalgamation within the Municipal Reform – the Perspective on the Example of the Slovak Republic. The issue of municipal reform is clearly one of the major topics related to whole society. Many authors agree with its necessity, but their views of further direction of municipal reform diverge. On one hand there are preferences of maintaining the current model of cooperation with the legislative rules of cooperation being clearly defined. On the other hand, there is a preference for more radical solution in the form of merger. Inspiration for such action consists of several countries in Europe and the world, in which municipal reform has taken place. Less attention is paid to the various criticisms of authors regarding negative consequences of municipal reforms countries. The specific consequences that can bring merging municipalities will be of interest to present in this contribution. In this case, the primary evaluation measure will consist of the views of representatives of municipalities, therefore mayors of rural municipalities and mayors of cities.
