Urbanization is strictly related to the participation of the population in the arrangement of the territory. The relationship between local authorities and the citizens serves as an index that determines the performance of the community in solving existing problems and is the main competence in assessing local competence. Participation of the population in the activity of spatial planning and urbanism is achieved through different methods, one of which would be the community spirit. Creating a community spirit is possible only in an atmosphere of mutual trust and commitment. The problem consists in the degree to which the participation of the citizens must be admitted for the formation of the development plans of the localities.
