commune system
The commune system is a form of local governance where a commune, or administrative division, manages community affairs such as local services, urban planning, and public resources. It functions as the smallest administrative unit in some countries, providing a level of government closer to residents. Communes enable local decision-making, promote community participation, and ensure that public services are tailored to the specific needs of the area. Depending on the country, communes can vary in size and scope but generally serve as the foundational units for local governance and civic administration.
