This study presents the continuously spreading municipal mediation in Hungary through two community mediations as good practice. It analyses theoretical and practical course of proceedings in community decision-making processes. It presents each practical phase of community mediations, analysing the practical effects of them. It compares them with other forms of decision-making, highlighting clear advantages of community mediation both for the leadership and the given community. Through presenting the process of two case studies, two model projects are analysed in details from the perspective of the municipal decision-making organs, civil organisations and the local population. In both presented cases different problems of the community are solved through the same process protocol.
