Illuminations on the Engineering of the Administrative Organization of Municipalities in Jordan

Abstract

This article examines the roles and composition of the municipal and decentralization councils in Jordan. In all Jordanian cities and villages, municipal councils and decentralization councils are elected to four-year terms by the general population. In actuality, these councils and the Parliament serve as the nation's "decision-making and administrative organs."Councils have many different responsibilities including administering the accomplishments of municipalities; learning the communal, social, informative, well-being, commercial, and prosperity necessities of their citizenries; planning and organizing the implementation of social, economic, constructive, cultural, educational, and other welfare affairs at the national level. In this paper, we will attempt to illuminate the construction and purposes of municipal councils and decentralization councils in Jordan.
