The article deals with social network analysis of the public, private and non-profit institutions that are considered the most important actors in local development. The study was carried out in three small Czech towns. The conclusions indicate the unconditional significance of local public administration institutions and a significance of the other local institutions; the relations toward the extra-local institutions are rather weak.

Při uvažování o sociologické kategorii sociálního kapitálu je třeba brát v úvahu jeho dvě základní polohy. V první řadě kontakty, sociální sítě s důrazem na formální členství v dobrovolných organizacích, v druhé řadě pak jakousi formu psychologického majetku jednotlivce či skupiny, důvěru jak v ostatní občany, tak ve společenské instituce a celou komunitu

The women representation is larger in smaller municipalities and they are elected as a Mayor more frequently than in the larger ones.

The paper deals with an analysis of the processual features of community care planning in the Czech Republic. It comes to conclusion that the participative nature of community care planning is only partially implemented in reality. The deficiencies of participative nature of community planning are influenced by the institutional context of community planning in the Czech Republic, in part by the design of public government institutions, in part by the institutions of civil society.
