Abstract

As a result of the increasing significance of sports observable in the past decade, the leaders of Hungarian communities have also begun to pay more attention to this area. An important role in community management is played by local councils, whose decisions are prepared by various sectoral committees. Despite the fact that the scope of the committees’ work is often wider than can be deduced from their names, we think it stands to reason to examine to what extent sport is present in the names of local council committees. This paper emphasises the following questions with respect to Hungarian settlements with a population of 5000 and districts of Budapest: To what extent is sport present in the committee structures of the local councils?; Which factors influence the presence of sport in the committee structure? The findings of the paper can be summarised in the following: Local governments consider the presence of sport in the committee structure as important, but they primarily deal with this area in combination with other sectors; The number of councillors and the size of the settlement influence the presence of sport in the committee structure.
