Kommunen

"Kommunen" refers to a local government area or municipality responsible for managing community services and local affairs within a specific region, such as a city, town, or district. They handle essential functions like schools, healthcare, public transportation, waste management, and local regulations. Kommunen operates independently from the national government but follows national laws. Its goal is to ensure the well-being of residents and the efficient functioning of the community. Essentially, it’s the administrative body that directly serves the needs of local residents and fosters local development.
