Policy Development of Sustainable Development in the Commune Self-Government
Piotr Bartkowiak

ABSTRACT. No State over its multi-annual development could be managed at all levels of activity in a centralized manner. This is why for certain functions of the State a process of decentralization was begun. A number of bodies were created and equipped with several competences to fulfil their tasks properly. Thus, they became representatives of the central government. However genealogic bases of the modern concept of local self-government which has been valid in Europe and Poland can be found under the banners of the French Revolution.

Making an analysis of the use of resources of natural environment it should be noted that the volume of waste and pollutions resulting from human’s activities is so large that the environment is often not capable of their absorption. In the case, where the long term goal of environmental policy is evolution of inter-regional development of diversification, the diversification of pollution of the environment and its natural assimilation capacity is the basis conclusion on the necessity of regional (communal) diversification of protective policy instruments (Fiedor, 1992, p.29).
