A '''municipality''' ({{lang-ka|მუნიციპალიტეტი|tr}}) is a subdivision of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], consisting of a settlement or a group of settlements, which enjoy [[Local government in Georgia (country)|local self-government]]. {{anchor|AnchorKalaki}}There are two types of municipalities—self-governing [[List of cities and towns in Georgia (country)|cities]] (ქალაქი, ''kalaki''), 5 in total, and self-governing [[Community (administrative division)|communities]] (თემი, ''temi''), 67 in total, as of January 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mreg.reestri.gov.ge/|title=Registry of Municipalities|publisher=National Agency of Public Registry|access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref>
A [[municipality]] ({{lang-ka|მუნიციპალიტეტი|tr}}) is a subdivision of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], consisting of a settlement or a group of settlements ([[Community (administrative division)|community]], თემი, ''temi''), which enjoy [[Local government in Georgia (country)|local self-government]]. {{anchor|AnchorKalaki}}A total of 69 municipalities are registered as of January 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mreg.reestri.gov.ge/|title=Registry of Municipalities|publisher=National Agency of Public Registry|access-date=22 December 2021|language=ka}}</ref> Five municipalities are entirely located in breakaway [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]], and are effectively not governed by Tbilisi. The remaining 64 are divided over five self-governing [[List of cities and towns in Georgia (country)|cities]] (ქალაქი, ''kalaki'') and 59 self-governing communities. Municipalities can be subdivided into administrative units, referred to as a community (თემი, ''temi'').


== Background ==
== Background ==
The municipalities were first established in 2006. Most of them were successors to the earlier subdivisions, known as ''[[raioni]]'' (რაიონი), "districts". In addition, new municipalities were formed to govern those settlements in the disputed entities of [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]] that then remained under Georgia's control. After the [[Russo-Georgian War]] of 2008, Georgia treats these municipalities as parts of its [[Occupied territories (Georgia)|occupied territories]]. The former districts not under Georgia's effective sovereignty at the moment of the local government reform of 2006 were not transformed into municipalities. Rather, the laws of Georgia include a notion that the final mode of subdivision and system of local self-government should be established after the restoration of the state jurisdiction over the occupied territories.<ref name=pres>{{cite web|title=ტერიტორიული მოწყობა და მმართველობა [Territorial Structure and Government]|url=https://president.gov.ge/ge/Georgia/TerritorialStructureAndGovernment|publisher=Administration of the President of Georgia|access-date=9 July 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710064058/https://president.gov.ge/ge/Georgia/TerritorialStructureAndGovernment|archive-date=10 July 2015}}</ref><ref name="1958-IIს">{{cite act |title=ადგილობრივი თვითმმართველობის კოდექსი [Code of Local Self-Government] |type=Organic law |number=1958-IIს |language=ka |date=5 February 2014 |url=https://matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/2244429 |access-date=9 July 2015}}</ref> Each municipality is divided into administrative units (ადმინისტრაციული ერთეული), which can comprise one or several settlements.<ref>{{cite web|title=Transparency remains a challenge for self-governing cities|url=http://transparency.ge/en/node/4777|publisher=Transarency International Georgia|access-date=9 July 2015|date=28 October 2014}}</ref>

A municipality (Georgian: მუნიციპალიტეტი, romanized: munitsip'alit'et'i) is a subdivision of Georgia, consisting of a settlement or a group of settlements (community, თემი, temi), which enjoy local self-government. A total of 69 municipalities are registered as of January 2019.[1] Five municipalities are entirely located in breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and are effectively not governed by Tbilisi. The remaining 64 are divided over five self-governing cities (ქალაქი, kalaki) and 59 self-governing communities. Municipalities can be subdivided into administrative units, referred to as a community (თემი, temi).

Background[edit]

The municipalities were first established in 2006. Most of them were successors to the earlier subdivisions, known as raioni (რაიონი), "districts". In addition, new municipalities were formed to govern those settlements in the disputed entities of Abkhazia and South Ossetia that at the time remained under Georgia's control. After the Russo-Georgian War of 2008, Georgia treats these municipalities as parts of its occupied territories. The former districts not under Georgia's effective sovereignty at the moment of the local government reform of 2006 were not transformed into municipalities. Rather, the laws of Georgia include a notion that the final mode of subdivision and system of local self-government should be established after the restoration of the state jurisdiction over the occupied territories.[2][3] Each municipality is divided into administrative units (ადმინისტრაციული ერთეული), which can comprise one or several settlements.[4]

The municipalities outside the two autonomous republics of Adjara and of Abkhazia and the capital city of Tbilisi are grouped, on a provisional basis, into nine regions (mkhare): Guria, Imereti, Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli, Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Samtskhe-Javakheti, and Shida Kartli.[2]
