Abstract:
This article deals with the dynamics of territory development in the regional and municipal economy. The development of the territory is and has always been limited or restricted by the available sources of capital, the dynamics of its use, and the localization of its distribution in the chosen territory. Today’s limits are, under Czech conditions, laid down by the Building Act; namely, the land-use plan, the strategic plans for development, and the political mechanisms of the elected leaders. The verbalization of the democratization of the economy is swayed by the concepts of meritocratic holding and the attempts to create values, but also by already existing values. We interpret the term values as infrastructure developed in the past, but also as resources given by the natural, geographic, and other environments.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to develop the promising areas of organizational and economic relations, based on the decisions of the existing institutional problems in regional transport infrastructure, ensuring the implementation of the strategic directions of development of social and economic aspects of transport policy to meet the national interests of the Russian regions in conditions of high dynamics of development of external economic relations. The paper presents the concept of formation of strategic directions for the management mechanism for regional transport infrastructure, based on a study of exogenous and endogenous causes of evolutionary change in the transport system in the region, the interaction of economic entities of regional transport system and organs of the municipal and regional level. The paper also analyzes the factors that directly affect the development of the transport infrastructure that will adaptively enable to modernize the infrastructure of the regional economic area. As conclusions, the authors propose a list of promising directions (depending on the target determination of the control level) of development of the organizational and economic relations in the regional transportation system, which displays unified transport system in the region (UTSR) on a new institutional level. Suggested areas are ranked according to three components: federal-regional, regional, and regional-municipal. Each of these components is detailed. Conclusions can be used by regional and municipal authorities in the preparation of programs of regional development and the formation of organizational structures in the regional and municipal authorities, as well as improvement of the management mechanism of the transport infrastructure required for the development and implementation of social and economic development of transport policy.

Abstract. Purpose.The research is directed to justification of formation in the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region of a grain cluster and definition of its borders. Methods. The research was conducted on the basis of statistical data on dynamics of production of grain in agricultural organizations in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in a section of municipal units from 2013 to 2017. For justification of a cluster authors offer the approach consisting in allocation of the producers of grain forming 75 % of gross regional collecting in dynamics, drawing up rating of municipal units on the outputs, determination of frequency of entry into rating, group of municipal units on the frequency of occurrence and the analysis of operational performance in groups. Results. By results of the analysis authors established that the grain cluster of the Nizhny Novgorod region has to include such municipal units as Lyskovskiy, Dal’nekonstantinovskiy, Pochinkovskiy, Ardatovskiy, Spasskiy, Pavlovskiy, Shatkovskiy, Arzamasskiy, Gaginskiy, Bogorodskiy, Sechenovskiy, Sergachskiy, Krasnooktyabr’skiy, Bol’sheboldinskiy, Buturlinskiy, Pil’ninskiy districts which need to be united in three categories on level of production. The scientific novelty consists in author's approach to allocation of an intraregional grain cluster and allocation in it three categories according to their stability in a grain cluster: a cluster kernel (with average rating from 2.2 to 6.8) – Shatkovskiy, Sergachskiy, Krasnooktyabr’skiy, Bol’sheboldinskiy, Buturlinskiy and Pil’ninskiy districts; participants of a cluster with the average level of stability (with average rating from 6.8 to 11.4) – Lyskovskiy, Pochinkovskiy, Arzamasskiy and Sechenovskiy districts; for the poorly steadyof participants of a cluster (with average rating from 11.4 to 11.6 – Dal’nekonstantinovskiy, Ardatovskiy, Spasskiy and Gaginskiy districts.

Abstract:
Introduction. The paper deals with modeling of organizational-economic interaction between territorial units of municipal and regional level. Dynamic of the economic security indicators of municipal areas in the Omsk region is presented, problems of strategic management of municipal development are analyzed, the author’s cross-functional model of regional interaction is presented. In addition, the role of municipal partnership in the process of regional interaction is shown.Materials and methods. The indices of economic security of the municipal entities in the Omsk region in the social, economic, financial spheres and the integrated index are calculated. Using the method of cross-functional modeling of business processes, the authors’ organizational and economic model of regional interaction has been formed.Results. Negative results of the assessment of the main indicators of the municipalities’ economic security show that it is necessary to develop regional cooperation in the Omsk region. Currently, there are such forms of interaction between municipalities as associations of municipalities in the Omsk region, joint meetings of regional and municipal authorities on strategic and current problems of the territories. But these forms of interaction are formal. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to organize “vertical” and intermunicipal processes of strategic management in economic development and security.Discussion and conclusion. There are processes of organizing regional interaction on the basis of ensuring the economic security of the region. It requires an organizational and economic model that reflects the roles of the municipals in these processes, including the municipal partnership, the sequence of their actions and key indicators. Accordingly, the developed model of regional interaction could become the basis for the formation of the system and the organizational and economic mechanism for managing the economic security of the region.

Abstract:
The article examines the role of regional development institutions in the infrastructure support of the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Changes are revealed at the meso-economic level that are possible in the post-industrial development of the economy of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. As a result of the study, it was concluded that 48 percent of the total funds available from regional development institutions accounted for the five leading regions: the Republic of Tatarstan, Moscow and Moscow Regions, Lipetsk, Kaluga Regions and St. Petersburg. By the share of gross regional product (GRP), the list of regions was headed by the Kaluga and Lipetsk regions, which is explained by the large volumes of investments attracted through development institutions and the relatively small size of the regional product and the population of these regions. The authors summarize the experience of managing regional development institutions, conclude that it is necessary to increase the degree of influence on the development of the economic and social infrastructure of the regions of the Russian Federation as a whole, as well as to eliminate regional imbalances in development. The main directions in the implementation of this approach are: Creation of an organizational mechanism for the formation of management structures to coordinate socio-economic development (for example, project administrations) on the territory of several constituent entities of the Russian Federation or several municipal entities within the framework of one constituent entity of the Federation. Development of financial mechanisms to support the activities of these inter-regional and inter-municipal administrations (hereinafter referred to as project administrations). Improving the mechanisms of interaction between state and municipal authorities, public organizations and other civil society institutions and business structures operating in the territory of several constituent entities of the Russian Federation and / or municipalities.

Abstract:
This essay maps and analyze the dynamic interaction between the regional and municipal levels. This is based on the case of Region Jönköpings län. The thesis is a qualitative document study that will focus on he municipalities and the region as unitary public actors and their public policy in the development area. The study material is public documents of the municipalities and the region that relates to municipl/regional development.  The essay is based on previous research dealing with New regionalism, Rescaling, Re-territorialization, the Competition state (konkurrensstaten) and New Public Governance. In addition, previous research also handles unity as a factor for regional development and local/regional conditions. Based on these, the study's theoretical approaches and frameworks have constructed and formed the basis of the interpretations for the study's issues.  The conclusions of the study are that the dynamics, attitudes and interactions between the region and its municipalities takes place in a complex system where ach actor's conditions, objectivies and ambitions determine how they view themselves, each other and the region as a whole. The conditions can include anything from the geographical situation, demographics, business composition and communications with the rest of the region. In addition, the municipalities' efforts to be competitive, attractive and distinctive can be linked to the societal developments of the past decades. It is about the impact explained by New regionalism, New Public Governance and the Competition state on the local/regional landscape within which the municipalities and the region reside, as well as creating a landscape where several actors, on several levels, share the same commitments, responsibilities and powers. Which gives us a complex game between regional unity and leadership, and a municipal effort to be singular.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the effect of economic support zones within the Swedish development programs on employment. This question is answered using a difference in differences design and a reform in 2014 that changed the zone status of 18 municipalities. The thesis merges aggregated RAMS-data for municipal employment and an extract on granted funds from NYPS. No effect is found on neither the total number of employed nor any composition changes in workers between sectors. The results do not follow the theoretical predictions of Bartik (1991) and Moretti (2010) and is not in line with most of the previous literature. A reason for this divergence is that labour mobility is not affected by the reform which prevents any effect on employment.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents an interpretivist analysis of institutional development in the English regional assemblies. It presents a history of institutional development in the regions, arriving at a conceptualization of this tier as a site of ‘institutional ambiguity.’ Exploring the theoretical bases of institutions and conducting a thorough critique of the schools of institutionalism, this thesis takes forward the theory of ‘constructivist institutionalism.’ A theoretical framework focussed on the processes of institutional design and change is built from constructivist institutionalism, as is a complementary and coherent methodological package to explore the empirical sites of the West Midlands and North West regional assemblies. The concepts of ‘frames’ and ‘stories’ are set out as interpretivist tools through which the primary interview data is analysed, to capture the development of the democratic institution of representation as it relates to the local government and stakeholder actors involved in these two regional assemblies. This thesis finds actors engaged in interplay between structure and agency while contributing to the processes of institutional design and change. Actors draw together their ideas with the pre-existing institutional context, relating them together in discursive constructions (frames, stories) that underpin their strategic-relational action, which in turn underpins the institutions of the assemblies. Regional representation transpires to mimic local governmental norms due to the dominant influence of the pre-existing context.

Abstract:
After the big crisis of 2008, the Federal Government sought to mitigate its effects that could be catastrophic in the Brazilian economy. In order to protect the industry, one of the main actions implemented was to reduce the tax on industrialized products. While actions to protect employment in industries resulted effects, the municipalities have suffered with the decline of the Municipalities Participation Fund (MPF), whose composition is via the collection of the industrial production tax and Income Tax. For municipalities, the reduction of federal transfers showed problems in the process of tax collection of the taxes within their competence. The interest of investigating the institutional scope of the municipal administration appear with this issue, in order to discover the role of institutional design in the performance of their revenues. In the first chapter were treated the elements that form the basis of institutionalist thought, emerging School Institutionalist Original and New Institutional Economics. The following section shows the evolution of the Brazilian tax system in the context of Brazilian municipalities. The paper goes on an analysis of situational variables and variables that are involved in municipal tax profile. It competed the next chapter descriptive analysis and correlation of the qualitative variables, their specificities and their relationship with some situational variables. It was observed that the municipalities that put forward highest contribution of the industry in the composition of their Gross domestic product (GDP) performed better in all of their revenues. Moreover, it emerged the concept that is crucial to the presence and interaction of a number of other institutions, including productive in the local context, bringing a situation to diversify its economy.<br>Após a grande crise de 2008, o Governo Federal buscou amenizar os seus efeitos que poderiam ser catastróficos na economia brasileira. Com o objetivo de proteger a indústria, uma das principais medidas implementadas foi a redução do Imposto sobre o produto industrializado. Ao passo que as medidas de proteger o emprego nas indústrias surtiam efeitos, os municípios brasileiros sofreram com a diminuição do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios (FPM), cuja composição se dá através da arrecadação do IPI e Imposto de Renda. Para os municípios, a diminuição dos repasses federais revelou os problemas no processo de arrecadação fiscal dos impostos de sua competência. O interesse de investigar o escopo institucional da administração municipal partiu dessa problemática, no sentido de descobrir o papel do desenho institucional no desempenho das suas receitas. No primeiro capítulo foram tratados os elementos que formam a base do pensamento institucionalista, emergindo a Escola Institucionalista Original e na Nova Economia Institucional. A seção seguinte mostra a evolução do sistema tributário brasileiro no contexto dos municípios brasileiro. O trabalho segue com uma análise de variáveis conjunturais e variáveis que estão envolvidas no perfil tributário municipal. Competiu ao capítulo seguinte a análise descritiva e de correlação das variáveis qualitativas, suas especificidades e sua relação com algumas variáveis conjunturais. Foi visto que os municípios que apresentaram maior participação da indústria na composição do seu PIB obtiveram melhor desempenho na totalidade das suas receitas. Ademais, emergiu a concepção de que é crucial a presença e a interação de um conjunto de outras instituições, inclusive produtivas, no contexto local, trazendo consigo uma situação de diversificação de sua economia.

Abstract:
Municipal and regional actors, and in particular their respective governments, have key roles to play for society’s transition to sustainability, and many good efforts have been made. However, co-creating sustainable visions and effective governance towards such visions is a complex challenge and an overarching systems perspective is often lacking in the decision making. This is an often-forgotten piece in the sustainability discourse, which risks leading to ’solutions’ in one area that cause problems in another area. This, in turn, risks leading to unnecessary goal-conflicts, sub-optimizations, and slow progress. Despite good insights and actions on sub-parts of the sustainability challenge, capacity to coordinate efforts across sectors is generally missing. The overarching aim of this work was therefore to explore how practitioners, not the least leaders, in municipalities and regions can be sufficiently supported in their missions to enhance cross-sectoral strategic work for sustainability. The overall pursuit of this aim was undertaken through an action research approach with seven Swedish municipalities, two Swedish regions and one Finnish region. Initially, practitioners’ perspectives of what hinders effective sustainability transitions in their municipalities or regions were investigated through focus group discussions. In addition to many specific, context dependent barriers, a prevailing blindness to barriers that are directly linked to a lack of a sufficiently large systems perspective was found. Most of the action research was about testing an existing preliminary implementation model for multi-stakeholder co-creation and co-learning for strategic sustainable development. The model was evaluated in terms of strengths, weaknesses, barriers and enablers through observations, dialogues, round table discussions and a survey. The preliminary implementation model was generally appreciated by practitioners and was generally considered to fill its purpose. However, a need for additional support was pointed out, to assist continued work with the model in the absence of external expert facilitators. A key element of the asked-for support was ways to involve and engage top leaders into active participation already upfront. An approach to achieve this was explored in one of the participating municipalities. This included an initial assessment of current work and existing steering systems and their alignment with the preliminary implementation model, followed by a focus group discussion with political and administrative leaders. In combination with a comprehensive understanding of barriers to effective sustainability transitions, the result from the testing of the preliminary implementation model and the approach to engaging leaders have laid a foundation for methodological support for cross-sectoral municipal and regional strategic work for sustainability.

<p>Regionalisation out of step - the varying growth of regional cooperation councils</p><p>Traditionally regionalisation is either seen as a bottom up movement or as state reform politics from above. From that perspective, Sweden contains both parts. The state enables regionalisation through legislation, promote it through policies and encourage it in rhetoric’s. But the formation of new regional institutions can only be done by the municipalities themselves. Without their belief in stronger and more self governed regions or their will to act and together build capacity in their region, the regionalisation is halted.</p><p>Sweden is a unitary state and there is no real tradition of strong and self governing regions. In that perspective the regional experiments during the second half of the 1990th can be seen as a rather big step. These experiments inspired other parts of Sweden and in the millennium shift, all counties was interested in forming some kind of selfgoverning regional body. In 2002, when legislation made it possible to build new political regional institutions, these new institutions were formed in seven counties. Since then, yet six counties have formed these new regional bodies. This variation raises several empirical questions. The main purpose of this study is to describe and explain the variation in growth of these new regional institutions.</p><p>The analysis follows three different perspectives. The first is a structural one and aims to investigate municipalities need for economic development as a driving force. The second is an institutional perspective where norms are supposed to promote cooperation. The third focus on promoting actors as a force behind the growth of new regional institutions. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods this thesis shows that different kinds of social norms promoting collaboration are the most important factor in explaining the variation in growth of new regional institutions. The analysis also showed that political actors play an important, both in building and maintaining coopera-tive norms, and probably also in bridging the lack of them.</p>

The thesis is focused on the possibilities of municipal cooperation in the Czech Republic, specifically on voluntary groups of municipalities. The aim is to analyse their activities and the advantages they bring to the involved municipalities. In the theoretical part, the various possibilities of municipal cooperation are generally outlined. Further, some important terms and aspects of regional development and municipal cooperation are explained, including the most important preconditions for such cooperation. In the practical part two examples of municipal cooperation are shown - The group of municipalities of the river Desná valley and Jesenicko Micro-region. Basic information about those subjects, their formation and activities including their most important projects can be found in here. The last two chapters deal with comparison of both micro-regions, especially in the fields of fundraising and management. They include also the results of the structured interviews with some of the representatives of involved municipalities and the data gained from a survey carried out among the citizens of some of those municipalities.

Tese de Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas Públicas<br>A reforma da organização territorial autárquica, colocada em agenda política pelo atual Governo, através do Documento Verde da Reforma Administrativa Local, recoloca a questão da necessidade de unidades territoriais intermédias agregadoras, entre a Administração Central e Local, que possam receber atribuições que, de acordo com o princípio da subsidiariedade, não sejam de atribuir ao nível mais próximo do cidadão mas a um nível superior, permitindo ganhos de eficiência e eficácia. Após o fracasso do referendo de 1998, que visava a criação das regiões administrativas, os sucessivos governos têm optado por reforçar o associativismo municipal, como meio para promover a descentralização. Nesse sentido foram criadas as Comunidades Intermunicipais. Pretende-se com esta investigação analisar e descrever o modo de funcionamento de uma Comunidade Intermunicipal, de modo a tentar aferir, através de um caso de estudo, se as mesmas reúnem condições para funcionar como um nível intermédio entre a Administração Central e Local e contribuir para o desenvolvimento da região onde se inserem. O objeto de estudo desta investigação foi a Comunidade Intermunicipal do Médio Tejo.<br>Reform of autarchic territorial organisation has now been placed firmly on the political agenda by the current Government, with the Green Paper on Local Administrative Reform. This once again raises the issue as to whether it is necessary to have aggregated territorial units to act as intermediaries between Central and Local Administration, to which allocations can be assigned that, in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, can not be given to the closest level to the citizens but to a higher level. This could allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness. Following the defeat of 1998 referendum on the creation of administrative regions, successive governments have chosen to support municipal associations as a tool for encouraging decentralisation. Inter-municipal Communities were created to this end. This research piece aims to analyse and describe how an Inter-municipal Community works, in order to assess, by way of a case study, if such a model is capable of acting as an intermediary between Central and Local Administration and contributing towards the development of the region in which it is active. The case study for this research was the Inter-municipal Community of Médio Tejo.

On this way, this thesis aimed to identify the distribution of rural credit among the cities of Paraná State and verify how this policy affected the regional development indicators, such as Gross Domestic Product - GDP and Ipardes Municipal Performance Index - IPDM in the period from 2010 to 2014. This study is justified by the need to evaluate the performance of a consolidated public policy in the Paraná State that is responsible for the major participation in the total available resources. This is an exploratory-descriptive research with a qualitative-quantitative approach, which used secondary data from IBGE, the Brazilian Central Bank and IPARDES. For the analysis of the collected data, maps were developed using the software ArcGis, ArcMap 10.3.1, maps that, in addition to the precise data record allowed the visualization of the financial system structure in Paraná, as well as the municipality contribution of GDP, the performance of municipalities in the local development indicator - IPDM and the distribution of rural credit in Paraná. The results indicated that the organization of the financial system made strongly influenced on the economic aspects - as the case of GDP - and few or no effect was observed in the IPDM, which aims to measure local development. In relation to rural credit, 78% of the total average was allocated to agriculture and 22% to livestock. Among the modalities, the cost planning had the largest participation in the general average (59%), followed by investments (27%). The distribution of resources was not uniform geographically, since 20% of the municipalities used 67% of the total resources. The tests indicate, at the state level, a moderate correlation between rural credit and GDP and a weak correlation between rural credit and IPDM.<br>O crédito tem servido como política pública, especialmente na agropecuária brasileira, a fim de promover desenvolvimento e crescimento econômico. Nesse sentido, a presente dissertação objetivou identificar a distribuição do crédito rural entre os municípios paranaenses e verificar como essa política afetou os indicadores de desenvolvimento regional, como Produto Interno Bruto – PIB e Índice Ipardes de Desempenho Municipal – IPDM no período de 2010 a 2014. Justifica-se este estudo pela necessidade de avaliar a performance de uma política pública consolidada no Estado responsável pela maior participação nos recursos totais disponibilizados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratório-descritiva com abordagem quali-quantitativa, que empregou dados secundários oriundos do IBGE, do Banco Central do Brasil e do IPARDES. Para a análise dos dados coletados foram utilizados mapas elaborados por meio do software ArcGis, ArcMap 10.3.1, mapas que, além do registro preciso de dados, permitiram a visualização da estrutura do sistema financeiro no Paraná, bem como a contribuição municipal do PIB, o desempenho dos municípios no indicador de desenvolvimento local – IPDM e a distribuição do crédito rural no Paraná. Os resultados indicaram que a organização do sistema financeiro influenciou fortemente os aspectos econômicos – como é o caso do PIB – e pouco ou nenhum efeito foi observado no IPDM, que visa medir o desenvolvimento local. Em relação ao crédito rural, 78% da média total foi destinada para a atividade agrícola e 22% para a atividade pecuária. Dentre as modalidades, o custeio teve a maior participação na média geral (59%), seguido pelos investimentos (27%). A distribuição dos recursos não foi uniforme geograficamente, uma vez que 20% dos municípios empregaram 67% dos recursos totais. Os testes apontam, no âmbito estadual, correlação moderada entre o crédito rural e o PIB e correlação fraca entre o crédito rural e o IPDM.

Abstract:
AbstractPoor municipal solid waste management continues to be a daunting issue for municipal authorities in Ghana. Major cities generate 2000 tonnes of mixed municipal waste per day, of which about 80% is collected and disposed of at open dump sites and/or at the limited number of landfills available. About 60% of this waste is organic. The Utilization of Organic Waste to Improve Agricultural Productivity (UOWIAP) project sought to co-create knowledge through a private-public engagement for the development of organic waste value chain opportunities to sustainably manage municipal organic waste and, at the same time, improve urban farm soils and increase food productivity in the Ga-West Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Through the project, identified key stakeholders in the waste and agricultural sectors, such as market traders, informal waste collectors, unemployed persons, farmers, landscapers, media, agricultural extension officers, Municipal Assembly officers and the general public, were engaged and made aware of sustainable organic waste management processes, including organic waste segregation from source, collection and compost production. Four formal markets were selected for the piloting of organic waste segregation from source. Interested persons were trained in organic waste collection, compost production and entrepreneurship. The lessons learned draw attention to the need for a massive effort to generate demand for compost use as this will invariably drive removal of organic waste from the unsorted waste stream.

Abstract:
AbstractThe influence of urban density on household electricity consumption is still scarcely investigated, despite the growing attention to building energy performance and the electrification of heating systems advocated at the European level. While the positive correlation between urban sprawl developments and the increasing of marginal costs of public infrastructures, services, amenities, public, and private transports are known, there has been little research on the relationship between urban form and electricity consumption in residential building stock. The present work aims to contribute to filling the gap in the existing literature, presenting the early results of ongoing research on the role of urban form in the household electricity consumption in Italy and, consequently, the related energy costs. The building typology and, in general, the structure of urban dwellings, is crucial to forecasting the electricity requirements, taking into account single housing units and their spatial composition in multi-family homes and neighborhoods. After a brief literature review on the topic, the contribution presents empirical research on the electricity consumption at the municipal level in 140 Italian cities, analyzing the diverse consumption patterns under different conditions of urban density to verify whether there exists a significant statistical correlation between them. The analysis confirms that there is a statistically negative correlation between urban density and the log of electricity consumption, even if its incidence is very limited. Further investigation may highlight whether there exists a threshold for which this relationship would be reversed, explaining the higher electricity consumption in dense metropolitan areas.

Abstract:
The eco-municipality models and municipal applications for sustainability are criticized for not yet finding a sustainable development model for Turkish municipalities. In the improvement of the sustainable municipality concept, some common decision had been taken and defined the related standards. LA21, EMAS for municipalities, and ISO standards are the examples coming forward. The methodology is based on literature review of experiences of the eco-projects that have been made in municipalities and SWOT analyses for these projects. In Turkey, the first step has been taken in LA21 processes to adopt the eco-municipal approach in transformation. For the further steps, the need for establishing an integrated model among the different applications has been concluded.

Abstract:
Housing policy on municipal level is in the Czech realm neither thoroughly analysed, nor systematically performed. Policymakers lack basic data-base for taking competent decisions. This study shall establish a base for further discussion on factors, effects and importance of municipal housing policy for urban development. A comparative analysis of three Czech cities has been performed with the aim to answer the questions what explains a housing policy, whether and how housing policy may impact urban development (factors) and what the effects are. This study proved that housing policy does have an impact on urban development and that this fact is not clearly reflected in the Czech multilevel governance. The relevance of multiple socio-economic factors of housing policy for urban development has been examined. From the identified effects of these factors, a set of hypotheses for further research has been developed. The study consists of four parts. The first one frames housing policy in a context of place-based regional theories and explains the Czech system of multilevel governance in this field. The second section explains the use of comparative analysis and the selection of indicators as well as the collected data. The third part comments on obtained data and the final one draws suggestions for further research of academics and better decisions of policymakers.

Abstract:
Public, fixed-route transit services most commonly operate on public streets. In addition, transit passengers must use sidewalks to access transit stops and stations. However, streets and sidewalks are under the jurisdiction of municipalities, not transit agencies. Various municipal policies, practices, and decisions affect transit operations, rider convenience, and passenger safety. Thus, these government entities have an important influence over the quality, safety, and convenience of transit services in their jurisdictions. This research identified municipal policies and practices that affect public transport providers’ ability to deliver transit services. They were found from a comprehensive literature review, interviews and discussions with five local transit agencies in the U.S., five public transportation experts and staff from five California cities. The city policies and practices identified fall into the following five categories: Infrastructure for buses, including bus lanes, signal treatments, curbside access; Infrastructure for pedestrians walking and bicycling to, and waiting at, transit stops and stations; Internal transportation planning policies and practices; Land development review policies; Regional and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) issues. The understanding, acknowledgment, and implementation of policies and practices identified in this report can help municipalities proactively work with local transit providers to more efficiently and effectively operate transit service and improve passenger comfort and safety on city streets.

Full text
Abstract:
As of 2017, 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic had been produced worldwide. Since about 40% is used in things that are thrown away relatively quickly (packaging and single use items), 6.4 billion metric tons had already become discarded materials needing to be managed. Only 9% of these discarded materials were recycled globally. The annual estimate of plastic entering our oceans globally is 5 to 13 million metric tons (MMT) per year. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has an extensive populated coast, 119,000 km of coastline and over 205 million people living within 50 km of that coastline. Waste management infrastructure is still under development in many countries. Economic growth without fully developed infrastructure can lead to increased plastic leakage. This report focuses on municipal solid waste as a source of plastic input into the environment in LAC. The reports estimates that total plastic waste available to enter the ocean in LAC in 2020 was 3.7 MMT . Under business-as-usual projections, the report anticipates that the regional quantity available to enter the oceans in 2030 will be 4.1 MMT and 4.4 MMT in 2050.
