Abstract

Wir zeigen in diesem Beitrag, dass Fusionen von Landkreisen oder Gemeinden negative Auswirkungen auf die Verbundenheit mit dem eigenen Wohnort haben können. Einer von vier Bürgern verliert durch Gebietsreformen seine Identifikation mit der Kommune und damit eine wichtige Basis für soziales Engagement vor Ort. Überschaubare Strukturen sind ein wichtiger Faktor für Heimatgefühl, Ehrenamt und Partizipation vor Ort.
