Abstract

Reforma javnog sektora, posebno u kontekstu upravljanja vodnim uslugama, ključna je za održivi razvoj i zaštitu okoliša u Hrvatskoj. Od ulaska Hrvatske u Europsku uniju, promjene u vodnokomunalnom upravljanju postale su nužne zbog prilagodbe europskim normama i standardima. Ovaj rad istražuje međuopćinsku suradnju kao ključni element u reorganizaciji upravljanja vodnim uslugama. Fokus je na analizi suradnje komunalnih poduzeća Virkom d.o.o. Virovitica i Vodakom d.o.o. Pitomača, čime se nastoji utvrditi kako međuopćinska suradnja utječe na učinkovitost i održivost upravljanja vodnim resursima. Rad doprinosi razumijevanju izazova i mogućnosti reorganizacije vodnih usluga u Hrvatskoj te nudi smjernice za unapređenje sustava kroz učinkovitu međuopćinsku suradnju.

Abstract (english)

Public sector reform, especially in the context of water services management, is crucial for sustainable development and environmental protection in Croatia. Since Croatia's accession to the European Union, changes in water utility management have become necessary due to the adaptation to European norms and standards. This paper examines inter-municipal cooperation as a key element in the reorganization of water services management. The focus is on the analysis of the cooperation between the utility companies Virkom d.o.o. Virovitica and Vodakom d.o.o. Pitomača, aiming to determine how inter-municipal cooperation affects the efficiency and sustainability of water resource management. The paper contributes to the understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the reorganization of water services in Croatia and provides guidelines for improving the system through effective inter-municipal cooperation.
