Abstract
It is possible to state that the organisation and way of functioning of the State administration has gone and will be going through an incessant development process, which has responded and will be responding to changes and needs of society. ""The basic philosophy of local authorities, which are willing to build up new and well functioning organisation models, is their orientation towards ""public services"". It means that services offered by local authorities should be designed not only for people but in cooperation with them (Welsh, 1995).
It is thus necessary for the municipality to stay in contact with its inhabitants and to evaluate their needs and attitudes. According to Welsh (1998), the task of local authorities is to analyse the impact of services offered to particular segments of community, which should be served by the authorities.
This analysis, which can be considered as an audit made for certain clients groups, is, besides others, also a starting point for the elaboration of an overall municipality strategy. This analysis can be realised by the means of primary or secondary research.
Present state of our society and developmental tendencies taken in consideration, it is clear that the existence of leisure activities system will be a significant element in the decision-making processes of State employees on all levels of State (public) administration. The relationship between those who can influence the outer forces, and those who occupy positions in the leisure-time organisations defines the dynamics of future development.
The role of municipalities in the domain of public services cannot be replaced. That's why it is necessary to study the opinions and attitudes of employees responsible on the local scale.
It is also important for the information transfer and communication to be realized rapidly.
