This study analyses the factors behind variability in the amount of liabilities (as a possible indicator of development) in the balance sheets of the more than three thousand smallest Czech municipalities. The results show that the amount of liabilities is strongly positively associated with municipality size, which also explains a negative effect of voter turnout, which decreases with growing local population in the Czech context. Besides the effect of size, there are also constant (albeit much weaker) effects of geographical factors, with higher amounts of liabilities found in larger municipalities in closer vicinity to regional centres and outside structurally disadvantaged regions. This suggests the problem of an ineffective state of local governments in Czechia. Thus, the smallest municipalities with low levels of competitiveness (i.e. citizens’ low willingness to join their local governments) found in peripheral regions or in the peripheries of more developed regions are faced with major developmental problems. An increasing number of municipalities are stagnating due to insufficient funds for their development"},{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Češka predstavlja poseben primer poselitvene strukture, saj ima več kot polovica njenih občin manj kot 500 prebivalcev, pri čemer te občine skupaj predstavljajo le okoli osem odstotkov celotnega prebivalstva države. Namen te študije je analizirati dejavnike, ki vplivajo na variabilnost zneskov obveznosti – razumljenih kot možni kazalnik razvojnega potenciala – v bilancah stanja več kot tri tisoč najmanjših čeških občin. Rezultati analize kažejo, da obstaja močna pozitivna povezanost med višino obveznosti in velikostjo občine. Ugotovitev pojasnjuje tudi negativni vpliv volilne udeležbe, ki praviloma upada z naraščajočim številom prebivalcev. Poleg vpliva velikosti občine imajo opazno, čeprav šibkejšo vlogo tudi geografski dejavniki: višje ravni obveznosti so značilne za večje občine v bližini regionalnih središč in zunaj območij, ki so strukturno zapostavljena. Ti vzorci razkrivajo širši problem neučinkovitosti lokalne samouprave na Češkem. Najmanjše občine, ki jih zaznamuje nizka raven politične konkurenčnosti – tj. nizka pripravljenost prebivalcev za vključevanje v lokalno upravljanje – in ki se nahajajo v perifernih regijah ali na robu razvitih območij, se soočajo z izrazitimi razvojnimi izzivi. Zaradi pomanjkanja dostopa do razvojnih sredstev vse več občin stagnira, kar dolgoročno poglablja regionalne razlike"}],"edm:type":"TEXT","dc:type":[{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"znanstveno časopisje"},{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"journals"},{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785"}]},"ore:Aggregation":{"@rdf:about":"http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:DOC-2AEJ1ZR0","edm:aggregatedCHO":{"@rdf:resource":"URN:NBN:SI:DOC-2AEJ1ZR0"},"edm:isShownBy":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-2AEJ1ZR0/1d0d3828-8d8f-45de-b2e7-e3ebc9972a13/PDF"},"edm:rights":{"@rdf:resource":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},"edm:provider":"Slovenian National E-content Aggregator","edm:intermediateProvider":{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"National and University Library of Slovenia"},"edm:dataProvider":{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Univerza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede"},"edm:object":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-2AEJ1ZR0/maxi/edm"},"edm:isShownAt":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-2AEJ1ZR0"}}}}
