In the political sense, local autonomy refers to the authority of local governments to legislate on matters related to them. Administratively, autonomy refers to the ability of the organs related to services to take and implement their own decisions. Autonomy in the financial field, on the other hand, means that local governments can determine their own budgets while performing the services given to them by law, that the share of local governments' own resources in the budget is high, in short, their financial dependence on the center is low. It can be said that local autonomy is the result of efforts to prevent the concentration of power in the center and the reaction developed against this situation.
