Sažetak
The aim of the article is to present the results of the research on cooperation between local au-thorities and residents in three tourism destinations in Poland. The article puts forward a thesis on key importance of cooperation between local government and residents for local development. The article researched weather there is cooperation between local government and residents in taking decisions which concern local development and weather residents are satisfied with the realisation of the tasks by local government. Authors also researched whether in areas with developed tourist function residents are aware of their participation in tourism development. Results indicate that despite cooperation of local authorities with the residents which is declared by the representatives of local government, local community does not perceive such cooperation. The residents of the municipalities are not satisfied with the realisation of local government tasks as far as fulfillment of residents needs is concerned. The results indicate therefore the necessity of work connected with the increase of residents awareness about their participation in decision-making process and the necessity of informational actions.
