Abstract:
Urbanization is strictly related to the participation of the population in
the arrangement of the territory. The relationship between local authorities and the
citizens, they serve is an index that determines the performance of the community
in solving existing problems and is the main competence in assessing local
competence. Participation of the population in the activity of spatial planning and
urbanism is achieved through different methods, one of which would be the
community spirit.
Creating a community spirit is possible only in an atmosphere of mutual trust and
commitment. The problem consists in the degree to which the participation of the
citizens must be admitted for the formation of the development plans of the
localities.
