In modern conditions of public policy reform in all spheres of activity there is a need to re-evaluate the mechanisms of public services. With the advent of a new paradigm of state service to the people, the principles of public services are changing. In democracies, public services are consumer-oriented. Administrative and territorial reform is based on the European experience, so today the concept of providing administrative services from "statehood" to "serving the people of Ukraine" has been completely changed. This concept provides a customeroriented approach to the provision of services and the work of state and municipal bodies. Services are provided on the same principle as in private institutions, because the state now also competes for the consumer. The service idea of the development of the system of public administration is based on the classical economic scheme: "producer of services - consumer". The sustainability and legitimacy of public institutions is related to the quality of modeling, identifying and realizing individual and group interests and needs. The purpose of such a model of management is consumer satisfaction. Responsibility for safety and livelihood rests with the country, which must ensure that the interests and needs of the individual and their groups are met. The article considers the theoretical foundations of providing administrative services at both the state and municipal levels. The experience of foreign countries in the field of administrative services is considered and the main directions that should be introduced into the Ukrainian experience are selected. The concept of administrative service is defined and their classification is given. The key principles of providing administrative services are considered, the range of subjects entrusted with the functions of providing administrative services is determined. When evaluating the current system of providing administrative services, the authors describe in detail the algorithm for providing services by CNAP specialists. A perspective model of functioning of the Centers for providing administrative services is offered. The directions of improvement of the mechanism of management of administrative services by means of electronic government are revealed. On the example of Sumy region, the methods of providing services in the Centers for providing administrative services are analyzed, the main disadvantages and advantages of their functioning are highlighted. One of the ways to improve the provision of administrative services is the introduction of electronic services. Improving the efficiency of providing administrative services by e-government for businesses or citizens, will increase the effectiveness of local governments and public authorities, reduce the risk of corruption in the provision of administrative services and improve the business climate, competitiveness and investment attractiveness of the state.

Local governments in the Slovak Republic are important in public administration and form an important part of the public sector, as they provide various public services. Until 1990, all public services were provided only by the state. The reform of public administration began in 1990 with the decentralization of competencies. Several competencies were transferred to local governments from the state, and thus municipalities began to provide public services that the state previously provided. Registry offices were the first to be acquired by local governments from the state. This study aimed to characterize the transfer of competencies and their financing from state administration to local government using the example of registry offices in the Slovak Republic. In the paper, we evaluated the financing of this competency from 2007 to 2018 at the level of individual regions of the Slovak Republic. The results of the analysis and testing of hypotheses indicated that a higher number of inhabitants in individual regions did not affect the number of actions at these offices, despite the fact that the main role of the registry office is to keep registry books, in which events, such as births, weddings, and deaths, are registered.

Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution aspires to the Indonesian economy being managed by the state with the aim of the prosperity of the Indonesian people. But the fact is that prosperity is only enjoyed by certain people and certain groups because the economy is only controlled by those who are only a small part of the Indonesian people. The growth of super markets, modern retail stores such as IndoMart, AlfaMart in all corners of the country, both villages and cities, has displaced traditional markets and caused traditional traders to go out of business. This is a violation of the constitution and must be stopped. Traditional traders are populist economic actors in the economic system, so the state must not commit arbitrariness, such as allowing competition, unhealthy competition between traditional traders and modern retail traders. This study aims: a). Knowing the need for social construction to traditional traders, b). what is the impact of the presence of modern retailers on traditional markets, c). the response of traditional traders to the mushrooming of IndoMart and AlfaMart, d). How should the local government protect Traditional market traders. This study uses a qualitative approach, with its social paradigm of social definition. Data retrieval through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, while data analysis uses Interactive Miles and Hubermann Models. The results of the study show that it was necessary to do "Social Reconstruction" to traditional traders. The presence of modern markets has resulted in declining sales levels, the flight of buyers from the “Sleko” market, “Besar” market, and other traditional markets. This condition creates an "economic shock" for traditional traders because they felt their territory is "robbed" by traders who have large capital. If this condition is left uncontrolled, it would create social insecurity, namely traders become unemployed, beggars, which shall trigger an increase in crime rates. Local governments must act quickly by doing "Social Trader Reconstruction Traditional". A policy that was oriented to the economy of the people to revive traditional markets and allow traditional traders to resell. Don't treat people only become social objects! Economy, politics of politicians and regional governments at certain times such as the regional elections and the presidential election

From the Problems of a Transformation from Perpetual Usufruct to Property RightSummaryAn analysis of a normative state and a practice of a conduct of legal transactions with reference to legal regulations of perpetual usufruct and also of a transformation of this right into property right permits a statement that in Polish Law there came into being a system of norms completely unintelligible, excessively complicated, internally contradictory, bureaucratic and too costly for the national budget, local governments and perpetual usufructuaries. The primary cause of the status quo was the lack of a clearly defined objective at which the legislator was aiming. Expediency was implemented at the expense of system principles. It led to interventions of the Constitutional Tribunal. The legislator hedged, made successive provisions not only internally contradictory but also arousing new doubts as to their compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.It seems that the only rational solution of the status quo is to forego the right of perpetual usufruct by enfranchising perpetual usufructuaries. However, it has to be a regulation based on foundations completely different than these hitherto existing.The transformation should cover all perpetual usufructuaries, regardless of the mode and the time of their acquisition of this right, and should ensue ex lege. This would result in a significant simplification of a construction of the transformation. Given a tremendous interest of perpetual usufructuaries in the transformation, it would significantly reduce the amount of office labour and attendant costs incurred by them. At the same time affranchisement would become universal. Further simplification and lowering costs of transformation would require that entries in mortgage registers should be evidenced ex officio at the time of the first transaction relating to a given mortgage register. Since affranchisement in a discussed mode would cover all perpetual usufructuaries ex lege, it would be obvious that persons evidenced in a register as perpetual usufructuaries are property owners until a new entry is made.There should be no exception from the basic principle of universality of affranchisement of perpetual usufructuaries. It has to be assumed that land charged with perpetual usufruct has not been indispensable for the hitherto existing owner (the State Treasury, local government units) in order to perform their basic tasks. In special cases these units may employ an expropriation.The most difficult problem of the hitherto existing regulations faced has been the question of compensation due to hitherto owners from the fact of a loss of ownership as a result of a transformation. I propose to regulate these settlements in such a way that an enfranchised perpetual usufructuary should be charged with such performances as he was charged with hitherto as a perpetual usufructuary. In other words: he would be charged with an obligation to pay annuity during a period for which he has been granted, the right to perpetual usufruct, transformed into property right. In exchange for a performance, which in any case he would have to provide as per agreement, the former perpetual usufructuary would obtain a better right - property right. According to the proposition under discussion, the regulation would have a system character, in a long-term it would allow to effect such a reform of public finances that hitherto existing owners could perform their assigned tasks financing them from performances of a tribute type, and not from perpetual usufruct. One would have to consider the advisability of maintaining in force the principles of determining an amount of an annuity. It seems that instead of the current system (expensive and inefficient) there should be introduced a principle of a yearly raising of annuity according to a rate of inflation.It’s common knowledge that appreciable part of immovables of the State Treasury and municipal immovables originate from different kinds of „expropriations” carried out in the period of PRL [People’s Republic of Poland]. To secure claims of former owners I propose to create a special fund, meant for indemnities satisfying these claims, from obligatory written off amounts gained from receipts from former perpetual usufructuaries.

The “electronic government” movement has swept across most countries in the last decade. This movement represents a new paradigm for public services. As we know, traditional public services may be improved in many ways by the Internet. According to the literature reviewed, we found many studies were only focused on how to technically establish Web sites that allow citizens appropriate access to government information. However, few studies paid attention to the relationship management among the different e-government stakeholders. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to integrate the relationship management among the three groups of stakeholders: the government itself, its citizens and employees. In this chapter, we will examine the literature regarding to the underlying rationale of a successful e-government. Also, an evaluation system for the usability of government Web sites that support relationship management among citizens, government employees and public services are developed and empirically tested.

This chapter assesses issues of fulfilment, such as why subjects ought to bear the costs of their state's debts and reparative obligations. There are two common answers to this question. According to the authorization account of distribution, subjects should bear the costs if they have authorized the state, such as by accepting its protection. According to the participation account, subjects should bear the costs if they have participated in the state, such as by voting or using public services. The problem with both of these accounts is that they cannot justify distributing liability across generations. The chapter develops a Hobbesian account of distribution that explains why subjects who are neither authors nor participants should nevertheless be liable for acts of state. The central idea is 'authorization by fiction', which is based on Thomas Hobbes' idea of 'representation by fiction'. Much as guardians authorize representatives for wards, subjects authorize representatives for the people among them and after them — children and future subjects — who are incapable of authorizing representatives on their own. Authorization by fiction gives the young and the unborn a vicarious 'presence' in the state's actions, which renders them liable for the costs of discharging the state's responsibilities.

The article focuses on the issue of municipal funding from revenues collected by local governments and the state budget of Lithuania. In addition, it offers an evaluation of the Lithuanian practice in this field, discusses used methodological approaches and overviews practical experience of other countries as well as the relevant theory. Furthermore, it considers theoretical issues of local tax and tax distribution between levels of local government. Finally, it gives general principles of tax distribution and administration. The results of this investigation point to fundamental problems, relating the misbalance in funding of local governments with regional differentiation. The growth in disparities of municipal revenues demands a better redistribution of income, which includes an increasing amount of grants. However, the current system used for funding of local governments limits possible solutions that could address these problems. It should be considered that in 2009–2013, the lowest amount of municipal income per resident was identified in Vilnius County; whereas the highest amount was found in Utena (2009), Alytus (2010–2012) and Šiauliai (2013) counties.

The government is expected to develop a public service paradigm from a centralized service to a service that focuses more on community satisfaction-oriented management. Moreover, the village apparatus (gampong in Acehnese language) as part of the state apparatus has a direct relationship so that they should better understand the living conditions of the people who are within the scope of their administration. In this case, the author takes a case study of the Gampong Empee Trieng Government, where the author performed community service tasks. To meet the demands of excellent administrative services, Gampong government officials are required to provide good services, especially in providing professional services, having work systems and service procedures that are transparent, integrated, responsive, and adaptive to any changes. This study uses a descriptive approach with qualitative research that will provide an overview of how the performance of the Gampong Empee Trieng government in improving the quality of public services for its people. The three principles of government administration that focus on public services will be used as indicators to measure the quality of public services in Gampong Empee Trieng, Darul Kamal District, Aceh Besar District.

AbstractWith the late-2000s recession, state and local governments have struggled to find the necessary revenue to sustain citizens' demands of governmental services. One potential revenue source is to allow the citizens' themselves to choose the services to fund through the usage of voluntary taxes. Counties and cities in Arkansas have the authority to levy a voluntary property tax to support specific public services. In this study, we explore the prevalence and adequacy of the voluntary property tax by local governments in Arkansas. We identify 58 different voluntary taxes used in 27 counties and 17 cities throughout the state. Moreover, using revenue and expenditure data, we find the tax to be a significant revenue source for several county programs.
