FISCAL AND GUIDING ROLE OF PUBLIC DUTIES IN LAND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION

Local self-government in the Republic of Slovenia is assured by Constitution. A is provides the opportunity for municipalities to be financed through charges, which are collected in their area. Taxes, fees and other public ditties could be an important instrument for implementation of land policy They, constitute a source of funds for the implementation of this policy (fiscal aspect) and on the other hand, they can represent a powerful instrument for executing this policy (guiding aspect). This means that enacting public duties may influence the spatial development of the areas in the municipality In Slovenian practice, the fiscal aspect is much more emphasized than the guiding aspect. The article is focused on two important public ditties - tax for use of building land and public utility fee. We have tried to empirically confirm the statement that strengthening the fiscal role of these two public ditties actually promotes extensive or dispersed spatial development. In addition, we have tried to determine economic justification of establishing the databases that enable billing of public utilities fee.
