Description
Summary:By area, the Slovak Republic is considered to be a small European country. There are dramatic differences between Slovak cities and regions both in economic and social terms. Public investment is supposed to bring a positive impact on the dynamics of economic development, economy growth and its overall performance; nonetheless, it is town and regional parliaments that select the intervention areas, and, unlike in private sectors, the proportionality of investment activities and their portfolio suitability is not assessed with respect to their benefits. Another point is the perception of these investment activities by the urban and regional populations, which is truly unique research. Significant differences have been recorded, related to both decision-making in regions at similar levels of development and to public opinion.
