Abstract :This article aims to identify and define the duties and responsibilities of the basic unit of local self-government, based on the analysis of its statutory tasks in view of the general model of local self-government functioning in Poland and Turkey. In countries such as Poland and Turkey the functional scheme of local self-governments is differentiated. The differentiation is a result of historical development and thus the nature of the state and the implementation of the principle of subsidiarity. The shape and roles of local self-governments in Turkey and Poland undoubtedly correspond to the overall development paths of these countries. They also increasingly influence the socio-economic situation of their regions. As A. Kożuch has rightly pointed out, they perform a steering function in the local social, political and administration systems. Yet, their roles should not be limited. What is important is the development of local self-governance as such, as it is conducive to proper functioning of the administration bodies.
