The master's thesis examines the management of interinstitutional cooperation in ensuring civil safety in a municipality. Ensuring civil safety in a municipality is a complex process that requires smooth interinstitutional cooperation between different entities. This cooperation is necessary both in preparing for possible emergencies and in responding to them after an event. However, in practice, gaps in interinstitutional cooperation, duplicated functions, and problems with the dissemination of information between municipalities, fire departments, health care, police, and other institutions often occur. This is justified by the need not only to analyze but also to improve the management of interinstitutional cooperation in specific municipalities. The purpose of the study is to reveal the concept of interinstitutional cooperation management in ensuring civil safety in the Akmenė district municipality and to determine the direction of its strengthening. Research objectives: after analyzing the concepts of interinstitutional cooperation and civil protection, to substantiate the theoretical model of interinstitutional cooperation management in ensuring civil protection in the municipality; after analyzing the legal basis of interinstitutional cooperation management and political, economic, social and technological assumptions in the field of ensuring civil protection in the Akmenė district municipality and revealing the opinion of municipal representatives about the practices of interinstitutional cooperation management in the municipality, to determine the current situation; after analyzing the compliance of the practices of interinstitutional cooperation management in the field of ensuring civil protection with the theoretical model, to identify directions for strengthening interinstitutional cooperation management in the field of civil protection at the municipal level. The analysis of legal regulation showed that civil protection management in the municipality is based on a clearly defined institutional system, which identifies the main actors, their functions and mechanisms of mutual interaction. The roles of institutions in the Akmenė district are clearly divided into the levels of organization, prevention, control and implementation, and cooperation is carried out through coordination, information exchange, training/consultations and inter-institutional reporting. The PEST analysis revealed and highlighted the problem of limited financing of civil protection measures, the problem of lack of human resources, as well as a large proportion of the vulnerable elderly population. A significant problem was identified - outdated firefighting equipment, which limits operational efficiency. |
