Government Body

The study addresses the status of a local government body member and a local government employee as a person holding a public function in the meaning of Polish criminal law. In the Polish legal system, a person who holds a public function may be held criminally liable for passive bribery (bribe accepting) defined in Article 229 of the Polish Penal Code.  Pursuant to Article 115 § 19 PC, a public officer and persons belonging to several other categories are persons holding a public function, while  Article 115 § 13 PC defines the public officer by detailed enumeration of specific persons. The study provides an analysis of these concepts in view of the provisions governing the status of local government officers and persons employed with local government organisational units.

A hybrid approach combining theoretical and numerical strategies is utilized in determining the effect that government activity has upon urban land values and structure. A theoretical model of the interaction of households and a local government is used to structure the salient relationships. A numerical analysis is subsequently performed on the analytic system to qualitatively evaluate both the implications and the reasonableness of the system. A hybrid investigation lends credence to abstract analyses and supports the use of theoretical constructs in the development of empirical formulations.

This paper reflects on a four year evaluation on the use of a mobile platform, MobiSAM, to support increased public participation in local government.  It describes the lessons learnt in the design, development and evaluation of the initiative.  MobiSAM uses a community based co-design methodology, emphasizing the importance of community’s voices throughout the design and evaluation of the project.  Attention is drawn to the education and awareness raising interventions undertaken in order to scaffold the deployment of the system.  A discussion of the findings of the project is also provided in order for other actors in the field to learn from MobiSAM’s successes and failures.  Special attention is focused on the political stability and communication capacity required to successfully undertake initiatives such as this.
