edasijärku

edasijärku is an Estonian administrative division. It is a subdivision of a municipality, often translated as a borough or rural municipality district. These units exist within larger local government areas to further organize and manage local affairs. Edasijärku are not independent administrative entities but rather serve as an internal organizational layer for their parent municipality. The specific responsibilities and powers of an edasijärku can vary depending on the decisions of the municipal council of the larger administrative unit. They may be involved in local planning, maintenance of local infrastructure, or the organization of local services. The concept of edasijärku helps in decentralizing some aspects of local governance and bringing decision-making closer to residents within a specific area. The number and size of edasijärku within a municipality are determined by local administrative needs and population distribution.
