Local Self-Governance is a form of community-based governance in which a geographically bounded community exercises autonomous decision-making authority over local affairs through participatory institutions and collective action, distinguishing it from centralized or top-down governance models by its emphasis on grassroots control, accountability, and institutional legitimacy rooted in local norms and societal structures.
