Abstract: The article analyzes the prerequisites for creating community self-governance, the features of its functioning and efficiency. To do this, the authors use a variety of sources of information, including a number of surveys conducted in the city of Kirov (Russia). Evaluation of regression models shows that the conditions for the emergence of community self-governance include grassroots social capital and property rights, but at the same time citizens feel responsibility for the city and seek to gain the support of the authorities in solving local problems. At the same time, community self-governance emerges more often when people do not believe in the collective ability of society to achieve accountability and effective work of municipal authorities.
