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.

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. 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.

Abstract:

Regionalisation out of step - the varying growth of regional cooperation councilsTraditionally 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.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.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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

Tese de Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas Públicas 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. 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. 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:

Since formal instruments of spatial planning in Germany have turned out to be too inflexible to govern regional development, new ones are being implemented. One of them is Regional Land Management (RLM), which can be described as an application of regional management. A RLM comprises various aspects of planning, development and use of sites for industrial purposes, housing, recreation, open space et cetera. The complexity of tasks requires the cooperation between public and private actors (&quot;public private partnership&quot;), for instance municipalities and firms as well as different lobby groups. In most cases a Regional Development Concept contents the necessary guidelines, objectives and steps. This process has been analysed in the Municipal Network of &quot;Saalebogen&quot;, which consists of Rudolstadt, Saalfeld and Bad Blankenburg and is situated in East Thuringia. Like elsewhere in Thuringia the &quot;Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thüringen&quot;, i. e. the state development corporation, has taken considerable measures toward the revitalisation of industrial areas by acquisition, clearing, development and commercialisation. Thus, it was explored to what extent the participating municipalities undertook activities in terms of mutual coordination of industrial areas and public projects on existing sites referring to different functions within the Municipal Network. This has to take into account especially the decline of population due to the volatile economic performance of the region. The overall question is whether and how it can be managed to stimulate a development from the bottom of the region. The method of research chosen is threefold: Based on a new understanding of communicative and cooperative planning and a general concept for an RLM, the respective elements in the &quot;Saalebogen&quot; were defined as they can found in the urban and regional development plans and concepts. Interviews should show the motives, objectives and actions of planners, local politicians and entrepreneurs who are more or less involved in the RLM. Moreover, data on several industrial sites are evaluated in order to reflect the actual results. In the conclusion the implications of the RLM for regional planning and governance are formulated as well as improvements concerning planning system, spatial arrangement and organisation Die Raumplanung hat in der jüngeren Vergangenheit einen deutlichen Paradigmenwechsel vollzogen. Zunehmende Umsetzungsdefizite von formalen Plänen haben informellen Planungsinstrumenten einen erheblichen Bedeutungszuwachs beschert. Dazu gehören v.a. Regionale Entwicklungskonzepte (REK), die zur Behandlung einzelner Themenschwerpunkte bzw. Teilräume unter Einbeziehung der jeweils relevanten Akteure erstellt werden. Gerade in Ostdeutschland hat es sich als sinnvoll und notwendig erwiesen, nicht nur formale Rechtspläne in einem aufwendigen Verfahren zu erstellen, sondern im Vorgriff darauf bzw. parallel dazu Entwicklungskonzepte zu erarbeiten. Der zu untersuchende Raum des Städtedreiecks am Saalebogen stellt einen Städteverbund, bestehend aus Saalfeld, Rudolstadt und Bad Blankenburg, dar und wurde inhaltlich in einem REK verankert. Der dabei gewählte Ansatz eines Regionalmanagements umfasst zahlreiche Akteure auf den verschiedenen Ebenen (Land, Region, Kommunen, Unternehmen etc.). In diesem Zusammenhang sind planerische Überlegungen nicht zuletzt von Fragen der Flächenentwicklung (Revitalisierung, Nachnutzung, Neuerschließung) bestimmt. Nachdem die Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thüringen (LEG) erhebliche Leistungen in der Entwicklung gewerblicher Standorte sowie im Projektmanagement erbracht hat, stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die beteiligten Kommunen ihrerseits eine abgestimmte, koordinierte und kooperative Flächenentwicklung betreiben. Elemente hierfür sind etwa die Bevorzugung gemeinsamer Standorte und die Rücknahme einzelner Flächen. Weiterhin soll anhand der Arbeit untersucht werden, wie mit den Rahmenbedingungen der Schrumpfung umgegangen wird. Dies betrifft v.a. die (interkommunale) (Um-) Nutzung bestimmter Standorte bzw. Flächen im Rahmen eines Bestandsmanagements. In Anbetracht der organisatorischen Form der Zusammenarbeit ist am konkreten Beispiel insgesamt von Interesse zu untersuchen, ob mit &quot;weichen&quot;, kooperativen Instrumenten der Regionalentwicklung &quot;harte&quot; Standort- bzw. Flächennutzungsentscheidungen getroffen werden können. Als normative Grundlage zur Beurteilung kann dabei das Postulat einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung herangezogen werden, aus dem sich Kriterien einer ressourcensparenden und nutzungseffizienten Flächenentwicklung einerseits sowie einer kontinuierlichen Beteiligung von Akteuren bzw. Institutionalisierung der Zusammenarbeit andererseits ableiten lassen. In einer theoretischen Einführung werden die sich wandelnden raumplanerischen Funktionen allgemein erörtert sowie die Instrumente REK und Städtenetze im Besonderen vorgestellt. In einem nächsten Schritt erfolgt eine Begriffsbestimmung &quot;des&quot; regionalen Flächenmanagements anhand einzelner Elemente der Planung und deren Umsetzung bzw. Nutzung. Nach einer Beschreibung des Untersuchungsraums stehen konkrete Rahmenbedingungen (REK, Städteverbund), bisherige Aktivitäten und zukünftige Vorhaben eines regionalen Flächenmanagements im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit. Um dies differenziert beurteilen zu können, werden der (zeitliche) Vergleich von Raumordnungsplänen und REK, Gespräche mit regional bedeutsamen Akteuren sowie die Auswertung von Strukturdaten durchgeführt. Mit dieser empirischen Vorgehensweise verbunden sind neue Erkenntnisse über Entscheidungsprozesse in der Regionalentwicklung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Flächenentwicklung. Außerdem werden Vorschläge für die Weiterentwicklung des RFM im Städtedreieck und allgemein erarbeitet. Damit liegt der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung auf planungspraktischen sowie umsetzungsbezogenen Fragestellungen

Abstract:

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo apresentar a capacidade de investimento e de poupança própria dos 10 municípios de menor PIB do Estado de Goiás, no período de 2004 a 2013. Na composição do montante de receita dos municípios têm-se, além da receita própria, as receitas oriundas das transferências intergovernamentais, por meio do FPM (Fundo de Participação dos Municípios) e do FPE (Fundo de Participação dos Estados) da quota-parte do ICMS, respectivamente. Neste estudo, as receitas dos municípios são apresentadas separadamente; o que se busca, ao compará-las com a evolução das suas despesas em determinado período, apreender a capacidade de poupança própria corrente e a capacidade dos municípios de liquidarem suas despesas, mediante a utilização de suas receitas próprias; bem como, conhecer o quanto estes dependem das transferências intergovernamentais para realização de investimentos. Para realização da pesquisa, optou-se por uma abordagem quantitativa. Quanto aos fins, a pesquisa é exploratória e, como meios de investigação adotou-se a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. Utilizou-se do critério do PIB, para identificar os municípios que apresentavam maior dependência de receitas intergovernamentais, no Estado de Goiás. Os resultados revelam que há capacidade de investimento, mas que esta é positiva se utilizado os recursos de terceiros; e que o índice de capacidade de poupança própria em todos os municípios estudados foi negativo. Conclui-se que não há recursos oriundos da poupança própria para serem aplicados em investimentos. Os resultados demonstraram ainda que as receitas oriundas de transferências intergovernamentais representam a maior parte da receita total dos municípios; que as receitas próprias correntes são insuficientes frente aos gastos municipais; tal fato evidencia que os municípios dependem dos recursos da União e Estados para que possam se manter. This paper aims to present the investment and savings capacity of the lowest-GDP towns of the State of Goiás, in the period from 2004 to 2013. For their revenue composition the towns, besides their own tax collection revenue, count on the revenues of intergovernmental transfers, receiving their share of the ICMS (tax on merchandise and services circulation) through the FPM (Towns Participation Fund) and the FPE (States Participation Fund), respectively. In this study, the towns income is presented separately, seeking, by comparing them with the evolution of their expenses in a given period, to understand their ability to manage their own savings and to pay for their expenses using their own resources; as well as, to know how much they depend on intergovernmental transfers for their investments. We have chosen a quantitative approach to carry out this research. It has exploratory purposes and, as means of investigation we have adopted the documentary and bibliographic research. The GDP criterion has been used in order to identify the towns with greater dependence on intergovernmental revenues, in the State of Goiás. The results show that there is some investment capacity, but that this is only positive if the resources of third parties are used; and the saving capacity index in all the studied municipal districts was negative. It is concluded that there are no funds from their own savings to be invested. The results showed that the revenues of intergovernmental transfers represent the greatest part of the total revenue of the towns; that their own resources are insufficient to pay for their expenses; and this fact shows that the towns depend on the resources of the Union and States in order to keep up with their commitments.

Abstract:

Regional project finance is an important national economic instrument for regional develop-ment in Sweden. Despite that, the research on the subject is limited meaning that there is little knowledge of the instrument’s distribution and consequences. This is problematic regarding the goal of the project funds, which is to contribute to growth throughout the country. The aim of this thesis was therefore partly to investigate how the distribution, and the applications of, regional project funds differ between Swedish municipalities with different geographical characteristics, partly to analyse the reasons for these differences. The study was a qualitative case study of Västerbotten and was divided into two parts. The first part was based on a data material on project funds of Region Västerbotten between 2014-2020 to examine how the project funds were applied for, and distributed, between the region´s municipalities during that period. The second part was mainly based on transcripts from interviews with municipal officials from six municipalities to examine the explanations for those differences. The result shows that there are significant differences between municipalities with different geographical characteristics of Västerbotten which is explained by differences in access to resources and participation in collaborative projects between the municipalities. In conclusion it therefore seems to be some challenges in enabling the whole country to take advantage of these funds.

Abstract:

The overall aim of this essay has been to study how Swedish municipalities translate politics to hands-on action. More specifically by analysing how participating pilot municipalities within Tillväxtverket’s project Stronger local appeal in effect translated the project to local efforts. A second, underlying, aim was to identify the local projects understanding of fundamental but inadequately defined concepts included in the policy they were translating. This was done through a qualitative interview research approach with the pilot project leaders from each participating municipality. The empirical data was analysed through thematical analysis. The study concludes that the project leaders’ interpretation and understanding of fundamental concepts vary. The understanding of method, bond to be developed by the participating pilots, was lacklustre. Appeal within municipalities, however, was generally interpreted to be varying different things, e.g. conflicting focus on already existing occupants versus attracting new ones. Analysis show that local efforts had a few different themes, establishing central groups with focus on the constellation of the group as well finding the right dialogue with or to whomever was targeted, was one. Working with different types of plans and strategies or visualizing what you as a municipality can offer presumptive developers, to mention a few others. Generally speaking, translation helps the study explain that there is no right or wrong in the different types of local efforts, as also proven by the many type of different themes and local efforts. Further research should focus on why the national level use weak concepts as direction of operation, the intention of it specifically. En examination, inte en presentation.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyses how district heating systems in the Stockholm region have evolved and developed during the period 1978-2012. The thesis comprises four papers analyzing how district heating has been handled in municipal and regional planning. The examination explores how actors have worked together to create regional, interconnected district heating systems with economic, technological and environmental benefits. An investigation is undertaken on the effects of liberalization (and the subsequent commercialization of the district heating market) on the planning and cooperation of these systems. The impact on the present and future district heating market is also discussed. The dissertation shows that energy companies cooperated on a regional level to create interconnected regional systems. Through openness, the capacity to make high-level decisions and municipal legitimacy, the regional strategies could be implemented at the municipal level. This can be considered a form of regional planning from below that developed through the initiative of the municipalities. The regional energy planning authority Stoseb could therefore succeed where other regional planning authorities in the Stockholm region have previous failed, to gather and unite the municipalities into a regional force. This cooperation changed around the time of the liberalization of the energy market in 1996, which led to sales of several municipal energy companies and a subsequent concentration of ownership in the region. The organizational distance between energy companies and municipalities has increased and affected the communication between them. Regional cooperation could not be maintained and this has meant that opportunities and tools to implement energy strategies today are weaker than earlier. This is a case of ‘regional splintering’. The liberalization of the energy market thus had a major impact on the district heating sector. Denna sammanläggningsavhandling analyserar hur fjärrvärmesystemen iStockholmsregionen vuxit och förändrats, mellan 1978 och 2012. Avhandlingen består av fyra artiklar som analyserar hur fjärrvärme hanterats i kommunal och regional planering, hur aktörer samarbetat för att skapa regionala, sammankopplade fjärrvärmesystem med ekonomiska, tekniska och miljömässiga vinster som följd, hur elavregleringen, och den påföljande kommersialiseringen av fjärrvärmemarknaden, påverkade planering och samverkan kring dessa system, samt fjärrvärmemarknadens nuläge och framtid. Avhandlingen visar att energibolagen samarbetat på regional nivå för att skapa sammanhängande regionala system, genom öppet samarbete och att man tack vare hög beslutskompetens kunnat implementera de regionala strategierna på kommunal nivå. Det var en form av regional planering underifrån, då initiativet kom från kommunerna och samarbetsorganet lyckades med vad regionala planorgan haft svårt att genomföra under flertalet decennier i Stockholmsregion, nämligen att samla och ena kommunerna kring strategier som implementerats. Detta samarbete förändrades vid tiden runt liberaliseringen av energimarknaden, som genomfördes 1996, vilket ledde till försäljning av flertalet kommunala energibolag och en efterföljande koncentration av ägandeskapet i regionen. Det organisatoriska avståndet mellan energibolag och kommun har därmed blivit längre och påverkat kommunikationen dem emellan. Det regionala samarbetet kunde därmed inte fortsätta som tidigare och detta gör att möjligheterna och verktyg att implementera regionala energistrategier idag är svaga. Detta var ett fall av ”regional splintering”. Liberaliseringen av energimarknaden hade således stor påverkan påfjärrvärmesektorn.

Abstract:

Since formal instruments of spatial planning in Germany have turned out to be too inflexible to govern regional development, new ones are being implemented. One of them is Regional Land Management (RLM), which can be described as an application of regional management. A RLM comprises various aspects of planning, development and use of sites for industrial purposes, housing, recreation, open space et cetera. The complexity of tasks requires the cooperation between public and private actors (&quot;public private partnership&quot;), for instance municipalities and firms as well as different lobby groups. In most cases a Regional Development Concept contents the necessary guidelines, objectives and steps. This process has been analysed in the Municipal Network of &quot;Saalebogen&quot;, which consists of Rudolstadt, Saalfeld and Bad Blankenburg and is situated in East Thuringia. Like elsewhere in Thuringia the &quot;Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thüringen&quot;, i. e. the state development corporation, has taken considerable measures toward the revitalisation of industrial areas by acquisition, clearing, development and commercialisation. Thus, it was explored to what extent the participating municipalities undertook activities in terms of mutual coordination of industrial areas and public projects on existing sites referring to different functions within the Municipal Network. This has to take into account especially the decline of population due to the volatile economic performance of the region. The overall question is whether and how it can be managed to stimulate a development from the bottom of the region. The method of research chosen is threefold: Based on a new understanding of communicative and cooperative planning and a general concept for an RLM, the respective elements in the &quot;Saalebogen&quot; were defined as they can found in the urban and regional development plans and concepts. Interviews should show the motives, objectives and actions of planners, local politicians and entrepreneurs who are more or less involved in the RLM. Moreover, data on several industrial sites are evaluated in order to reflect the actual results. In the conclusion the implications of the RLM for regional planning and governance are formulated as well as improvements concerning planning system, spatial arrangement and organisation. Die Raumplanung hat in der jüngeren Vergangenheit einen deutlichen Paradigmenwechsel vollzogen. Zunehmende Umsetzungsdefizite von formalen Plänen haben informellen Planungsinstrumenten einen erheblichen Bedeutungszuwachs beschert. Dazu gehören v.a. Regionale Entwicklungskonzepte (REK), die zur Behandlung einzelner Themenschwerpunkte bzw. Teilräume unter Einbeziehung der jeweils relevanten Akteure erstellt werden. Gerade in Ostdeutschland hat es sich als sinnvoll und notwendig erwiesen, nicht nur formale Rechtspläne in einem aufwendigen Verfahren zu erstellen, sondern im Vorgriff darauf bzw. parallel dazu Entwicklungskonzepte zu erarbeiten. Der zu untersuchende Raum des Städtedreiecks am Saalebogen stellt einen Städteverbund, bestehend aus Saalfeld, Rudolstadt und Bad Blankenburg, dar und wurde inhaltlich in einem REK verankert. Der dabei gewählte Ansatz eines Regionalmanagements umfasst zahlreiche Akteure auf den verschiedenen Ebenen (Land, Region, Kommunen, Unternehmen etc.). In diesem Zusammenhang sind planerische Überlegungen nicht zuletzt von Fragen der Flächenentwicklung (Revitalisierung, Nachnutzung, Neuerschließung) bestimmt. Nachdem die Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thüringen (LEG) erhebliche Leistungen in der Entwicklung gewerblicher Standorte sowie im Projektmanagement erbracht hat, stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die beteiligten Kommunen ihrerseits eine abgestimmte, koordinierte und kooperative Flächenentwicklung betreiben. Elemente hierfür sind etwa die Bevorzugung gemeinsamer Standorte und die Rücknahme einzelner Flächen. Weiterhin soll anhand der Arbeit untersucht werden, wie mit den Rahmenbedingungen der Schrumpfung umgegangen wird. Dies betrifft v.a. die (interkommunale) (Um-) Nutzung bestimmter Standorte bzw. Flächen im Rahmen eines Bestandsmanagements. In Anbetracht der organisatorischen Form der Zusammenarbeit ist am konkreten Beispiel insgesamt von Interesse zu untersuchen, ob mit &quot;weichen&quot;, kooperativen Instrumenten der Regionalentwicklung &quot;harte&quot; Standort- bzw. Flächennutzungsentscheidungen getroffen werden können. Als normative Grundlage zur Beurteilung kann dabei das Postulat einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung herangezogen werden, aus dem sich Kriterien einer ressourcensparenden und nutzungseffizienten Flächenentwicklung einerseits sowie einer kontinuierlichen Beteiligung von Akteuren bzw. Institutionalisierung der Zusammenarbeit andererseits ableiten lassen. In einer theoretischen Einführung werden die sich wandelnden raumplanerischen Funktionen allgemein erörtert sowie die Instrumente REK und Städtenetze im Besonderen vorgestellt. In einem nächsten Schritt erfolgt eine Begriffsbestimmung &quot;des&quot; regionalen Flächenmanagements anhand einzelner Elemente der Planung und deren Umsetzung bzw. Nutzung. Nach einer Beschreibung des Untersuchungsraums stehen konkrete Rahmenbedingungen (REK, Städteverbund), bisherige Aktivitäten und zukünftige Vorhaben eines regionalen Flächenmanagements im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit. Um dies differenziert beurteilen zu können, werden der (zeitliche) Vergleich von Raumordnungsplänen und REK, Gespräche mit regional bedeutsamen Akteuren sowie die Auswertung von Strukturdaten durchgeführt. Mit dieser empirischen Vorgehensweise verbunden sind neue Erkenntnisse über Entscheidungsprozesse in der Regionalentwicklung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Flächenentwicklung. Außerdem werden Vorschläge für die Weiterentwicklung des RFM im Städtedreieck und allgemein erarbeitet. Damit liegt der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung auf planungspraktischen sowie umsetzungsbezogenen Fragestellungen.

Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. Community participation is a concept adopted to ensure participation and give opportunities to communities to determine their own destination in terms of their needs. It is a means of empowering people by developing their skills and abilities to enable them to negotiate with the development delivery system and to equip them to make their own decisions in terms of their development needs and priorities. The aim of the study is to asses community participation in the development planning and service delivery system by the Omusati Regional Council. As a government institution at the grass root level, it has a task to deliver required basic services through development programmes and projects. Interviews and participatory observation, including project visits were the methods used to collect information on the implementation of community participation in the decision making processes, and project implementation by the Omusati Regional Council. The study is structured into six chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the general introduction, background to the study, the statement of the problem, the hypothesis, objective of the study, perceptions, research methodology, significance of the study and organisation of the study. Chapter 2 discusses the theory and philosophy of community participation. It conceptualizes the key terms of community participation in development planning, such as sustainable development, integrated development planning and projects, decentralised development and the building block of development integrated rural development, basic service delivery and indigenous knowledge systems. Chapter 3 highlights the policy framework on community participation in terms of international, national and regional development planning policy documents. Chapter 4 is concerned with the local context of study (Omusati Regional Council), while Chapter 5 presents the data results, interpretation and analysis. Chapter 6 reflects the conclusion and the way forward.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the way in which municipalities receive funding from the European Union and assesses the impact of the funds on the municipal budget. Through the analysis of source materials, interviews with relevant officials, who process project applications and my own opinion, I have defined problems which the municipalities have to solve during the preparation and implementation of certain projects in the practical part of thesis. Small municipalities cannot effectively draw money from European funds due to the lack of human capital, low number of grant titles, red tape, small use of the principles of cooperation between the private and public sectors, and last but not least the need for pre-financing the projects. Grant recipient must participate roughly ten percent of the total cost in financing the project. Although this number may seem small, many municipalities must take the co-financing commercial loans, whose withdrawal is reflected mainly in the capital budget. Interest on loans burdens the municipal budget, the municipality debts and worsen financial health indicator of the municipality. However most projects would have not been realized without the help from European funds. Grants from the European Union significantly contribute to the development of the municipality.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação visou analisar se a observância dos mecanismos estabelecidos pela Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal consagrados no princípio da gestão fiscal responsável principalmente relativos a dois dos seus pilares: o equilíbrio das contas públicas e a obediência aos limites e condições por ela estabelecidas foi eficiente para também promover a responsabilidade social, de forma a cumprir as garantias constitucionais de acesso à educação e saúde públicas de qualidade, além da geração de emprego e renda aos seus cidadãos, na Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte (RMVPLN), abrangendo os anos de 2005/2008 e 2009/2012; dois ciclos políticos, portanto. Para tanto, se verificou o comportamento de oito fundamentos da gestão fiscal dos municípios: capacidade de arrecadação das receitas próprias, execução orçamentária, endividamento de longo prazo, endividamento de curto prazo, liquidez, despesa com pessoal e grau de investimento. Criou-se, então, uma matriz de risco que verificou o comportamento destes fundamentos nos últimos anos de mandato dos gestores municipais (2008 e 2012). Para aferir os desempenhos sociais, este trabalho utilizou os indicadores de Desenvolvimento Municipal disponibilizados pela Federação das Indústrias do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN). A partir da combinação destes dois resultados, os 39 municípios da RMVPLN foram distribuídos em cinco classes que compuseram o Índice de Desempenhos Fiscal e Social Agregados (IDFSA), e analisada a sua evolução nos mesmos anos de referência: 2008 e 2012. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi analítico, quanto à abordagem, e quali-quantitativo em relação ao seu objetivo. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram ser realmente necessário cumprir as regras estabelecidas pela Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, até como instrumento que viabilizará a disponibilidade de recursos necessários não só para a manutenção das políticas públicas existentes, mas também para a expansão ou a implementação de novos programas sociais. Entretanto, não são bastantes em si mesmos, de forma que alguns dos municípios analisados, mesmo obtendo o mais elevado grau de desempenho fiscal, não tiveram bons resultados sociais. Assim, a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal teve um importante papel nas circunstâncias em que foi editada. Entretanto, decorridos mais de quinze anos de sua edição, é imprescindível se fazer a sua revisão para nela integrar uma outra diretriz: a da responsabilidade social. This work aimed to analyze the observance of strict mechanisms established by the Fiscal Responsibility Act enshrined the principle of fiscal management responsible - mainly related to two of its pillars: the balance of public accounts and obedience to the limits and conditions established by it - was effective also to promote social responsibility in order to comply with the constitutional guarantees of access to education and public health quality, and the generation of employment and income to its citizens, the metropolitan area of the Paraiba and the North Coast Valley (RMVPLN) covering the years 2005/2008 and 2009/2012; two political cycles so. To this end, he found the behavior of eight grounds of fiscal management of municipalities: storage capacity of its own revenues, budget execution, long-term debt, short-term debt, liquidity, personnel expenditures and investment grade. Was created, then a risk matrix that investigated the behavior of these fundamentals in recent years mandate of municipal managers (2008 and 2012). To measure the social performance, this study used the Municipal Development of indicators provided by the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN). From the combination of these two index, the 39 municipalities of RMVPLN were divided into five classes that composed the Fiscal Performance Index and Social Aggregates (IDFSA), and analyzed its development in the same reference years: 2008 and 2012. The research method used was analytical, as the approach, and qualitative and quantitative in relation to your goal. The results indicate that it is really necessary to comply with rules established by the Fiscal Responsibility Law, even as a tool to enable the availability of necessary resources not only for the maintenance of existing public policies, but also for expansion or implementation of new social programs. However, they are not enough in themselves, so that some of the municipalities analyzed, even getting the highest degree of fiscal performance, did not have satisfactory social outcomes. Thus, the Fiscal Responsibility Act played an important role in the circumstances in which it was edited. However, after more than fifteen years of its issue, it is essential to do your review to integrate it another guideline: the social responsibility.

Abstract:

Abstract A predominant academic question is how and why the development paths of municipalities and regions take certain forms. In recent decades, geographers and economists in particular have investigated the dynamics of how local institutional conditions and their local mobilisation can affect development outcomes and how development is determined by “structural” forces such as state- and EU-based regulations and globalisation of the economy. Thus, the notion that historical sensitiveness and context-dependency are essential factors in local and regional development and growth has gained credence. Then again, municipalities and regions are not “islands” of development but integral parts of complex socio-spatial relations and processes. From this viewpoint, border municipalities and regions are eminently interesting research contexts as they are sites where different scalar political interests, institutional structures, and development discourses are continuously manifested, materialised and contested in the daily practices of local and regional actors. Nevertheless, this thesis argues that the existing mainstream studies investigating the development paths and prospects of border regions and municipalities are, firstly, overly EU-centric and, secondly, have an overly limited perspective on the institutional environment and legacy in which local and regional actors operate. The main attention in this regard has often been on the institutional differences between states and nationalities. In order to understand the development prospects of border areas and the preconditions of transnational regionalisation, municipal planning of border areas needs to be approached not only from the perspective of EU-driven cross-border co-operation and building of “transnational” scale, but more comprehensively. Accordingly, the present research on the Finnish-Swedish border area, which is an internal border area of the EU, takes a more historically and contextually sensitive institutional approach in this regard. Investigating the structural and discursive dynamics related to the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a development strategy in the context of municipal planning enables not only identification of the conflicts and intersections between state-, EU- and local/regional-level development interests and institutional structures, but also provides room for recognising the diversity of the existing interests, strategies and motivations of local and regional actors and different interest groups involved in these institutionalisation processes. This thesis suggests that the concept of policy transfer and problematisation of the dynamics of how and why certain development strategies, policies and discourses become selected, implemented and sustained at the border municipalities offers a fruitful theoretical and political framework for examining the abovementioned issues. Accordingly, the thesis studies the intertwined relationship between local agency and the mobilisation of scalar institutional structures in regional planning and policy transfer processes by applying the Cultural Political Economy approach and strategic-relational theory on institutions (see Jessop & Sum 2013) as theoretical-methodological lenses. The thesis consists of three original research articles that form a scalar and temporal continuum. The empirical research is based on interviews conducted with key municipal and regional actors (i.e. planners, politicians, project managers and entrepreneurs), historical document material reaching back to the 1930s, as well as supplementary policy documents produced at various governmental levels. Both critical discourse analysis and content analysis are used as analysis methods. As the dynamics of municipal planning are reflected primarily against the formal institutional planning system in Finland, the study focuses on the Finnish side of the border — the Finnish Tornio Valley and the Kemi-Tornio sub-region. The results underline that the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a key development strategy has been a long path-dependent process in which policy transfer processes and local mobilisation have become intertwined. While the “large-scale” development follows the Finnish national development — the transition from state-led, topdown politics to a more bottom-up, region-based development model — the investigation of these policy transfer processes also shows that the border location and the mobilisation of both the “border region identity” and the EU’s cross-border co-operation policy discourse have had a marked impact on the development path. Accordingly, they have furthered the development towards cross-border regionalisation. Moreover, border municipalities are challenging the state’s authority and the subordinated municipality-state relation by invoking this development. This development, however, is regionally contested and exemplifies the power relations both between municipalities with/without state border as well as between public and private sector actors. In the end, which development strategies become dominant or discarded in a particular context depends on how different actors and interest groups mobilise their privileged positions in relation to surrounding formal and informal institutional structures, such as municipal autonomy, EU cross-border cooperation funding schemes, trust relations, regional identity, and prevailing norms and customs. This research stands as an illustrative example that it is crucial not to consider these context-specific “soft” matters as somehow secondary to “rational” economic reasoning when investigating courses of action and economic development paths Original papers The original publications are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.

Abstract:

O objetivo desta dissertação foi avaliar a estrutura e as potencialidades da indústria moveleira do Município de Boa Vista (Roraima). Para a obtenção dos dados, foram aplicados questionários a empresas filiadas ao Sindicato das Indústrias de Marcenaria do Estado de Roraima – SINDIMAR; de um total de 19 empresas, 15 responderam aos questionários, representando 78,9% da amostra. Procurou-se levantar dados de forma simplificada, mas que retratassem a real situação do setor. Além desses dados, se obteve outros de fontes secundárias e de estudos empíricos anteriores sobre o setor, além daqueles fornecidos por instituições como SEBRAE. A idéia foi efetuar sugestões visando o aumento da competitividade do setor, através de melhorias nas matérias-primas, mão-de-obra, tecnologia e design, para agregar maior valor ao produto final. A revisão da literatura focou a teoria da localização, a teoria dos pólos de crescimento e a teoria do desenvolvimento local endógeno, centrada no papel das inovações e dos atores locais. Ao visitar as empresas, procurou-se detectar suas deficiências e potencialidades. Com o diagnóstico da situação atual do setor, se identificou os fatores de seu sucesso e os que vêm dificultando o seu avanço, com o objetivo de motivar os empresários a investir nessa atividade. Constatou-se que a matéria-prima utilizada é oriunda de outros municípios do Estado de Roraima e que cerca de 80% da produção é destinado ao próprio Município de Boa Vista, enquanto que os outros 20% destina-se a outros municípios do Estado. Concluiu-se que o setor moveleiro de Boa Vista necessita de muitas melhorias, tanto no plano tecnológico, com máquinas mais modernas, como do ponto de vista de gestão e logística. As principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelo setor são a carência de mão-de-obra qualificada, a falta de capital de giro para investir em equipamentos apropriados, já que a produção é feita na maior parte de forma semi-artesanal, entre outros fatores. Nesse sentido, o setor necessita de mais apoio de órgãos oficiais de assistência e de crédito, a fim de promover o desenvolvimento do setor, independentemente do porte das empresas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the structure and the potential of the furniture industry of the City of Boa Vista (Roraima). To attain the data, member companies of the Union of the Woodwork and Furniture Industries of the State of Roraima - SINDIMAR were given questionnaires; of a total of 19 companies, 15 answered and returned the questionnaires, representing 78.9% of the sample. The objective was to get data in a simplified form, but which portrayed the real situation of the sector. Besides the data obtained from the questionnaires, other secondary sources and previous empirical studies on the sector, was used as well as the data supplied by institutions such as SEBRAE. The idea was to effect suggestions aiming at the increase of the competitiveness of the sector, through improvements in the raw materials, man power and workmanship, technology and design, to add greater value to the final product. The revision of literature focused on the theory of the location, the theory of the growth in industrial poles and the theory of the endogenous local development, centered on the role of innovation and local actors. When visiting the companies, researchers sought to detect their deficiencies and potentialities. With the diagnosis of the current situation of the sector, the factors of success and the impairments that make it difficult to advance were identified, with the objective of motivating entrepreneurs to invest in this activity. Evidence shows that the raw material used is sourced from other cities within the State of Roraima and that about 80% of the production is destined to the very City of Boa Vista, while the other 20% goes to the other cities of the State. It was concluded that the woodwork and furniture sector of Boa Vista is in great need of improvement, as much in the technological field, with more modern machines, as in the area of logistic and management. The main difficulties faced by the sector are the lack of qualified labor, the lack of capital to invest in appropriate equipment, since the production is done for the most part on a half-artisan basis. With this in consideration, the sector needs more support from official agencies of assistance and credit, in order to promote the development of the sector, independent of the size of the companies.

Abstract:

With potential of increased efficiency and a broader range of services, inter-municipal cooperation is often presented as a universal solution to public welfare challenges. Today, all Swedish municipalities are involved in inter-municipal cooperation in various policy areas. However, little is known about the municipalities’ capacity to coordinate their cooperation arrangements in the complex network of institutions and overlapping territories that characterise the regional level of governance. Building on the institutional collective action framework and the concept of governance capacity, this study examines how the municipalities’ capacity for regional coordination of upper secondary education in the city region of Örebro County varies depending on the institutional structures, the opportunities for cooperation and the social capital that embed the inter-municipal arrangements. The empirical study is based on a mixed method approach; where a qualitative content analysis of public documents is combined with interviews of representatives from different inter-municipal arrangements in Örebro County. By analysing how inter-municipal cooperation on upper secondary education has emerged and developed in Örebro County, this study shows how the municipalities have established institutions at two different levels. In Örebro County, regional networks and contracts operate in parallel with local agreements and municipal associations with delegated authority – only including a few municipalities in the city region. Several of the cooperation arrangements also include actors from the private sector and different levels of governance. The emergence of these inter-municipal cooperation arrangements can be interpreted as an institutional outcome of the municipalities' intrinsic motives to ensure a wide range of education to their local citizens as well as the need to secure the supply of skills and workforce in private and public sector. But it can also be interpreted as a strategy for the smaller municipalities to ensure their influence and governance capacity in the city region – which has a built- in power asymmetry linked to the municipalities’ heterogeneity. The emergence of the cooperation arrangements also illustrates a path dependent development, where the municipalities’ historical collaboration tradition determines which institutions that emerge and to which degree social capital can be established. Particularly noteworthy in the emergence of the inter-municipal cooperation in Örebro County is the presence of government, which manifests itself through conditional financing of the inter-municipal cooperation arrangements. Thus, within one and the same geographical city region, and within one and the same policy area, there is an overlap of different inter-municipal collaborative arrangements and functional regions, which has emerged in a symbiosis of both horizontal and vertical relations. As a result, the regionalisation that the municipalities create “bottom up”, through voluntary cooperation, work in parallel with the regionalisation that is created “top down”, through formal regional institutions.

Abstract:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior The paper analyzes the ability of investment and economic autonomy of the public sector in cities selected according to three distinct regional economic systems. According to REGIC 2007 (IBGE, 2008) the cities are hierarchically polarized in the regions of influence of the poles of Juiz de Fora, Montes Claros and Uberlândia. The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between public finance and investment capacity of the municipal public sector with the population and economic performance of different cities within the hierarchy of the population in the selected regions between the years of 2000 and 2010. According to the distribution models of public resources for investment in underdeveloped regions of Hirschman (1958). It was found that prevailed concentration and dispersion models for investment of resources, and the third pattern is not fulfilled, that is the development of stagnant areas. The cities structure of tax and financial powers do not allow changes in the hierarchical structure of regions, from their own budgets. Thus, the smaller cities in a situation of low growth or stagnant, depend to a greater degree than larger cities, the public policies for development. The population growth rate of the selected cities indicates an increase in inequality between the smallest and largest cities of the three selected regions in population terms, reaffirming the model hub and uneven growth of the cities. Besides, the analysis of municipal budgets is necessary to check the involvement of other spheres of government, with their budgets and their models of growth and development. Secondary data were obtained from organizations linked to governments, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), João Pinheiro Foundation (FJP), Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA). O trabalho analisa a capacidade de investimento e a autonomia econômica do setor público de municípios selecionados em três sistemas econômico-regionais distintos. Segundo a REGIC 2007 (IBGE, 2008), são municípios hierarquicamente polarizados nas regiões de influência dos polos de Juiz de Fora, Montes Claros e Uberlândia. O objetivo da pesquisa é verificar a relação entre a capacidade de investimento do setor público municipal com o desempenho populacional e econômico de diferentes grupos de municípios dentro da hierarquia populacional das regiões selecionadas, no período entre 2000 e 2010. De acordo com os modelos de distribuição dos recursos públicos para investimento em regiões de países subdesenvolvidos de Hirschman (1958), verificou-se, a partir dos orçamentos municipais, que prevaleceram os modelos de concentração e dispersão de recursos pra investimentos, sendo o terceiro modelo não atingido, o desenvolvimento de áreas estagnadas. A estrutura de competências tributárias e financeiras dos municípios não permite alterações na hierarquia das regiões, a partir de seus próprios orçamentos. Assim, os municípios menores em situação de baixo crescimento ou estagnados dependem, em maior grau que os municípios maiores, de políticas públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento. O ritmo de crescimento populacional dos municípios selecionados indica um aumento da desigualdade entre os menores e maiores municípios das três regiões selecionadas em termos populacionais, reafirmando o modelo concentrador e desigual de crescimento dos municípios. Além da analise dos orçamentos públicos municipais, é necessário verificar o comprometimento das demais esferas de governo, a partir dos orçamentos de suas competências, com os modelos de crescimento e desenvolvimento dos municípios. Os dados secundários foram obtidos de organizações vinculadas aos governos, Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatísticas (IBGE), Fundação João Pinheiro (FJP), Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas Aplicadas (IPEA).

Abstract:

It is now common for managers, strategists, planners and citizens at municipality level to use sustainable development indicators (SDI) to help them work towards sustainable development. SDI constitute an information system for monitoring, reporting and decision-making which in theory should help us decide how to intervene in natural, economic, social and political systems for a better, more sustainable future. But not all indicator systems are created equal. Some are better tools than others when it comes to helping cities and municipalities in their work, and thousands of municipalities use SDI worldwide. How then should we assess the effectiveness of existing indicators for municipalities? To answer this question I develop an approach for assessing the edesign, creation and communication of existing, in-use SDI, and then apply it in a case study in Falun Municipality in Dalarna County, Sweden. The approach assesses five aspects of SDI: ‘Vision’, ‘Framework’, ‘Indicator Selection’, ‘Stakeholder Participation’ and ‘Communication’. The findings in Falun suggest that SDI have been essential to the implementation of sustainable development in policy and action in general municipal operations, but the municipality has not moved beyond a ‘conventional’ sustainable development vision and monitoring strategy. The benefits and constraints of the current indicator system are then discussed using the above approach, and the thesis finishes by offering suggestions for the municipality going forward. I also point to the need to develop a standardised assessment method for thousands of municipalities using indicator systems used today, to help in ongoing review and improvement of SDI in practice.

Objective: analyze the socioeconomic dynamics and form of expansion of urban land in the city of Lins, in the period 2000 to 2010, correlated with the growth of the biofuels sector in its surroundings. Method: survey data on the region of Lins and 13 municipalities in the Escritório de Desenvolvimento Rural de Lins (EDR-Lins), during the ten years delimited. Preparation of use and expansion of land by georreferenced mapping built with the assistance of imagens originated by Landsat 5 sensor TM, bands 3, 4 e 5, scene 221/75, collected between 2000 and 2010, provided by the Image Catalog belonging to Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), confronted with images produced by SPRING 5.1.18 (property of INPE) and SIG CTGEO (property of Centro de Tecnologia em Geoprocessamento CTGEO) software. Statistical correlation of regional development indicators taken from the Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM) and production of raw material extracted from the data of the Instituto Econômico Agrícola de São Paulo (IEA) of the EDR-Lins. Results: Contrary to expectation, the results failed to indicate a significant correlation between the implementation and performance of biofuel and/or biodiesel factories and municipal development, whether in relation to territorial expansion, whether in relation to socioeconomic variability. Wages paid to workers in the sugarcane sector, day laborer and monthly employee, and administrators were about 280% to 300% below the increase in production, which shows a possible concentration of income in executive and owners of power plants. In the delimited period, while there was an increase of 130% of the production of cane sugar, there was an increase of only 20% of the IFDM. When considering the specific indicators of the evolution of the population with the specific indicators of the evolution of production of cane sugar has obtained a moderate correlation, but that can t be attributed solely to the expansion of biofuel in the region. Conclusion: growth of the biofuels sector in the municipality of Lins did not produce whole supposed positive effects expected on the pattern and organization of the life of the resident population; neither added a significant improvement in municipal rates of the cities that integrate the EDR-Lins, such as income and population employed. Overall, the results show that the Law 11.097/2005 hasn t achieved one of its main goals, which is the promotion of quality of life of small producers dedicated to the cultivation of oil plants. O presente estudo se constitui de uma investigação teórica e empírica a respeito das possíveis interferências do setor produtivo de biocombustíveis sobre municípios e pequenos produtores circunvizinhos à área de atuação das usinas. Objetivo: analisar a dinâmica socioeconômica e a forma de expansão do território urbano do município de Lins, no período de 2000 a 2010, correlacionadas com o crescimento do setor de biocombustíveis no seu entorno. Método: levantamento de dados sobre a região de Lins e 13 municípios integrantes do Escritório de Desenvolvimento Rural de Lins (EDR-Lins), durante o período delimitado dez anos. Elaboração de manchas de expansão do solo mediante mapeamento georreferenciado com o recurso de imagens de satélites Landsat 5 sensor TM com as bandas 3, 4 e 5, cena 221/75, coletadas no período entre 2000 e 2010, disponibilizadas pelo Catálogo de Imagens do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), confrontadas com imagens produzidas pelos softwares SPRING 5.1.18 (propriedade INPE) e SIG CTGEO (propriedade do Centro de Tecnologia em Geoprocessamento CTGEO). Correlação estatística do desenvolvimento da região a partir dos indicadores do Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM) e da produção da matéria-prima extraída dos dados do Instituto Econômico Agrícola de São Paulo (IEA) do EDR-Lins. Resultados: contrariamente ao esperado, os resultados não conseguiram apontar uma correlação significativa entre a implantação e atuação das usinas de biocombustível e/ou biodiesel e o desenvolvimento municipal, seja em relação à expansão territorial, seja em relação à variação socioeconômica. Os salários pagos pelo setor sucroalcooleiro para diaristas, mensalistas e administradores ficaram cerca de 280% a 300% abaixo do aumento da produção, o que mostra uma possível concentração de renda em cargos executivos e proprietários das usinas. No período em questão, enquanto ocorreu um aumento de 130% da produção de cana-de-açúcar, verificou-se um incremento de apenas 20% do IFDM. Ao se considerar os índices específicos da evolução da população com os índices específicos da evolução da produção de cana-de-açúcar obteve-se uma correlação moderada, mas que não pode ser atribuída exclusivamente à expansão do biocombustível na região. Conclusão: o crescimento do setor de biocombustíveis na região do município de Lins não produziu todas as consequências positivas esperadas e supostas sobre o padrão e organização da vida da população residente; também não agregou melhora significativa nos índices municipais do EDR-Lins, tais como renda e população empregada. Sobretudo, os resultados apontam que a Lei 11.097/2005 não tem alcançado um de seus principais objetivos, que é a promoção da qualidade de vida dos pequenos produtores dedicados ao cultivo de plantas oleaginosas.

Abstract:

Considerando a limitação de recursos financeiros e orçamentários pelo Estado, cuja origem está na arrecadação e no endividamento do ente público, a transparência no gasto público e a correta aplicação de recursos orçamentários constituem obrigações no exercício da gestão pública visando ao Planejamento e ao Desenvolvimento Local e Regional.O presente estudo de caso analisou as peças orçamentárias do município de pequeno porte de Adrianópolis, situado na Região do Vale do Ribeira, imbricada entre os Estados do Paraná e São Paulo, durante a vigência dos Planos Plurianuais de 2006 a 2009 e 2010 a 2013, tendo a execução orçamentária como instrumento de priorização de políticas públicas secundárias - aquelas que não possuem imposição de aplicação de mínimo Constitucional. Acreditando haver um paradoxo entre planejamento público e execução orçamentária, o estudo em tela buscou responder ao seguinte problema: quais áreas do planejamento público são priorizadas como políticas públicas secundárias? A metodologia fundamentou-se em pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, a qual buscou nos dados contábeis oficiais – especificamente no Relatório Resumido da Execução Orçamentária (RREO), no Plano Plurianual (PPA) e na Lei Orçamentária Anual (LOA) – a efetivação de ações públicas nas diversas áreas, funções e subfunções que receberam dotações no orçamento, caracterizando o gasto público e a disponibilização de bens e serviços à população. Os resultados confirmaram a efetividade do instrumento proposto, identificando a priorização das políticas públicas secundárias de forma hierarquizada e apontaram um desalinhamento entre as peças orçamentárias. Considering the limitation of financial and budgetary resources by the State, whose origin is in the collection and the public entity's indebtedness, the transparency in public spending and the proper application of budget resources constitute obligations in the exercise of public management. Therefore, this case study analyzed the budgetary parts aiming to Planning and Local and Regional Development. This case study analyzed the budgetary parts in the small municipality of Adrianópolis, situated in the Vale do Ribeira is region, imbricated between the state of Paraná and São Paulo, during the term of Pluriannual Plans 2006 to 2009 and 2010 to 2013, having the budgetary execution as a tool for prioritizing secondary public policies – those without application’s enforcement of Constitutional minimum. Believing there is a paradox between public planning and budgetary execution, this study sought to answer the following problem: which areas of public planning are prioritized as secondary public policies? The methodology was based on applied research, qualitative – descriptive and exploratory, that searched in the official accounting data – specifically in the Summarized Report of Budget Execution (RREO), on the Pluriannual Plan (PPA) and the Annual Budgetary Law (LOA) – the effectiveness of public actions in different areas, functions and sub-functions assigned with budget allocations, featuring public spending and the provision of goods and services to the population. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed instrument, identifying the prioritization of secondary public policies in a hierarchical fashion and pointed a misalignment between budget parts.

It is not coherent to conceive sustainable development without planning; therefore urban planning is the basic setting tool of every town planning process and urban development politics, which is compulsory to towns of twenty thousand inhabitants or more and with touristic attractions. Home of more than fifty thousand inhabitants, the city of Barreirinhas is placed in a environmental protection also dependant on touristic activities, named Lençois Maranhenses National Park, thence, area planning is extremely required to organize the region development. The present work regards the importance to investigate if the environmental issues have been receiving proper attention over the urban planning at Barreirinhas, using the Municipal Master Plan and the Area Law (Lei de Zoneamento) as guidelines, mapping the city fragilities and potentials together with the relation between the social elements and urban dynamics. The survey revealed that the mentioned city, though being one of Maranhão state post cards, still lacks basic needs such as infrastructure, health and education. The quick development of the city induced the social elements a tighter relationship, but at the same time distant from tourism, which someway feels that its activity influences the city dynamics, but does it still under its potential. The natives, who first saw the tourism as a propeller of the local economy, notice the lost of some traditions due to the constant cultural changes. Desde que o homem começou a modificar a paisagem para fixar-se em um determinado local, já provocava algum tipo de impacto ao meio, mas pode-se dizer que foi a partir da revolução industrial (século XVIII) que esse impacto atingiu uma escala global. Não é possível pensar em desenvolvimento sustentável sem planejamento, dessa forma, o Plano Diretor é o instrumento básico e regulador de todo processo de planejamento municipal e da política de desenvolvimento urbano, sendo obrigatório nas cidades com mais de vinte mil habitantes em áreas de interesse turístico. Com mais de cinquenta mil habitantes, o município de Barreirinhas está em uma região de proteção ambiental também muito valorizada pelo turismo, que é o Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses, portanto um planejamento territorial é imprescindível para ordenar o desenvolvimento da região. O presente trabalho reconhece a importância de investigar se as questões ambientais têm recebido a devida atenção no planejamento urbano do município de Barreirinhas, tomando como parâmetro o Plano Diretor Participativo e a Lei de Zoneamento, identificando as fragilidades e potencialidades do município e a relação entre os atores sociais e a dinâmica urbana. A pesquisa revelou que o município, embora seja um dos cartões postais do Maranhão, ainda é muito carente em aspectos básicos como infraestrutura, saúde e educação e o crescimento acelerado da região proporcionou aos atores sociais uma relação próxima, mas ao mesmo tempo distante do turismo. Este sente que, de uma forma ou de outra, a atividade influencia a dinâmica municipal, mas ao mesmo tempo não usufrui durante o seu lazer da maior parte da estrutura do setor, o morador, ao mesmo tempo que viu no turismo o propulsor da economia local, observa a perda de algumas tradições em função da constante troca cultural.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the effects of natural disasters and political institutions on municipalities' climate change policies. Although most theoretical frameworks on policy adoption highlight the roles of extreme events as exogenous factors influencing policy change, most studies tend to focus on the effects of extreme events on policy change at the national level. Additionally, the existing theoretical frameworks explaining local policy adoption and public service provision do not pay attention to the roles of extreme events in local governments' policy choices. To fill those gaps, this dissertation explores the roles of natural disasters and political institutions on municipal governments' climate change policies. It does this by applying the theory of focusing events to local climate mitigation and adaptation actions. Based on the policy change framework, the political market model, and the institutional collective action frameworks, this dissertation develops and tests hypotheses to examine the effects of natural disasters and political institutions on municipalities' climate mitigation and adaptation policies. The dissertation uses 2010 National League of Cities (NLC) sustainability surveys and the 2010 International City/County Management Association (ICMA) sustainability survey to test the hypotheses. Analytical results show that floods and droughts influence local climate change policies and suggest that local governments can take advantage of extreme events when initiating a policy change. The results also suggest that political institutions can shape the effects of natural disasters on municipalities' climate mitigation and adaptation actions.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the formation of power structures in a revolutionary setting. It takes as a case study the central Siberian city of Krasnoiarsk, in which a powerful Soviet of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies emerged during the period March-October 1917. The Krasnoiarsk Soviet was an elective council established during the overthrow of Tsarist authorities. Throughout 1917, it became a vital component of an emerging local and regional power structure, assuming growing responsibility for a number of core state tasks. As well as providing a new empirical case study to English-language literature on 1917, the thesis employs a nuanced analytical approach which challenges existing conceptualisations of state power in revolution and the role played by local soviets. State power in revolutionary Russia has often been viewed as something to be contested between different political groupings and organisations seeking to assert their own outright control. This view is captured neatly by the formulation of “dual power”, in which soviets and Provisional Government organisations constructed alternative power bases in an attempt to wield outright control. Accordingly, the soviets’ growing political strength indicated an ability to marginalise other groups and organisations seeking to wield power. By contrast, this thesis does not seek to explain how power in revolutionary Krasnoiarsk was “captured” or otherwise controlled by the Soviet alone. Instead, it applies a critical interpretation of state power proposed by Bob Jessop and other theorists, who view the state as a site of interaction and negotiation between multiple autonomous organisations and social actors, all of which have a stake in the way it operates in practice. It focuses on the emergence of a “soviet power” writ small, in which the Krasnoiarsk Soviet became an authoritative organisation within a broader constellation of revolutionary actors. Without denying the Soviet’s centrality within this power structure, the thesis does not explain its role simply as the monopolisation of authority over other would-be contenders. Rather, it sees the Soviet’s importance in its ability to establish itself as a focal point for interactions between multiple actors which, collectively, shaped state power at a local and regional level. It considers how the forms and practices of revolutionary power developed through these interactions and how these interactions in turn transformed the roles of actors and organisations engaging them. In order to unpick the complex and dynamic processes of revolutionary power, the thesis employs three core methodological concepts: institutions, mobilisation, and ideology. It makes several important and original arguments. Firstly, it emphasises the autonomy of social actors which supported the Soviet and engaged in its politics, demonstrating the extent to which they were able to shape its political functions and structures according to their own concerns. Secondly, it reveals the importance of skilled administrative personnel to Soviet work, highlighting the invaluable practical roles they played in the regulation of provisions and their ability to influence Soviet policy measures on this issue. Thirdly, it demonstrates the close cooperation between the Soviet and other local governmental and administrative bodies, including the city Duma and provisions regulatory organisations, which remained vital to fulfilling state functions throughout 1917. Finally, it discusses how the Soviet and socialist activists challenged established power relationships between Krasnoiarsk, as a locality, and all-Russian state authorities, revealing the growing importance they attached to securing greater local autonomy in revolution and the changing ways local actors viewed their role in wider all-Russian politics.

Abstract:

Drinking water is a crucial provision for our survival and well-being. However, it is often taken for granted. The environmental objectives in Sweden appear insufficient to ensure drinking water with good quality, because the objectives lack clear protective descriptions, which allow municipalities to determine how to interpret and ensure drinking water. The purpose of this study is to investigate barriers and opportunities for sustainable management of drinking water sources in a tourist region. In order to fulfil the purpose, the study identifies vulnerabilities in the municipal drinking water system with the help from scenario analysis of climate change and tourism development. The study also presents relevant adaptation solutions. The DPSIR framework was used as a tool to categorize and describe the studied problem and was based on a literature study and a mapping of the study area. Åre ski resort was used as a case, and it is supplied with drinking water from two groundwater beds infiltrated by Åresjön (a lake, part of a river). Åresjön is included in an objective to keep drinking water quality standards. The results show that climate change and tourism development reduces surface and groundwater quality, primarily by increasing microbiological particles. Increases in the number of tourists combined with insufficient monitoring of groundwater levels and infiltration capacity knowledge are unsustainable and are expected to reduce the amount of water in the large groundwater beds. The identified most vulnerable parts of the drinking water system are within the municipal planning process, water production and wastewater treatment. Therefore, the various adaptation solutions address these issues. Direct and indirect adaptations are necessary to ensure sufficient drinking water of good quality until 2100. Tourism development is the main driver for affecting drinking water (if no adaptation measures are implemented). 20180623

Abstract:

This research focuses on the applicability of the federal Fair Housing Act to the practice of municipal land use planning and zoning and examines how this relationship can inform a curriculum intended for municipal authorities on their responsibilities under the Act. The purpose of the Fair Housing Act is to provide equal access to housing through desegregation and non-discrimination. Historically, many municipal governments have used zoning to segregate communities based on race, ethnicity, national origin and disability, among other traits. Today, scholars point to exclusionary zoning tactics and unfair treatment of housing for the disabled, for example, as barriers to equal housing opportunity. Strategies for affirmatively furthering fair housing exist and their implementation is feasible. Municipalities throughout the country implement these strategies through a variety of practices, however emerging cases suggest that not all practice non-discrimination. Through instruction, many more municipal authorities might learn about strategies to affirmatively further fair housing in addition to fulfilling their legal responsibilities as housing regulators. Fair housing advocates and professionals are poised to assume instructional leadership because of their experience working with municipal authorities and their understanding of the Fair Housing Act and its relationship to land use planning and zoning.

Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos do Património apresentada à Universidade Aberta O início deste trabalho assenta numa breve reflexão sobre a Museologia em Portugal e consequentes reflexos na museologia regional e, de forma mais concreta, no Museu Municipal de Benavente. Qual o objetivo do museu moderno? Não será apenas a mera mas também importante função de preservar e expor todos os tipos de coleções, mas também saber comunicar com os diversos públicos, adaptando-se à contemporaneidade da região onde estão inseridos, promovendo a interação entre visitante/habitante local e o museu que deverá ter sempre presente a constante construção do espaço museológico sob a batuta da coerência científica, artística e temática, valorizando as grandes potencialidades regionais, sem esquecer a diversidade local, que permitem uma verdadeira coesão territorial. Neste trabalho, para além da componente científica - ao descrever e analisar o papel do Museu Municipal de Benavente, existe também uma componente cívica que, através da análise realizada, de forma exequível, espera-se que contribua para a melhoria e promoção de forma eficaz e eficiente do património existente e incida no desenvolvimento local do concelho, podendo assim contribuir (em parceria com o poder local e demais organismos culturais, empresariais e turísticos) para uma melhor e maior divulgação patrimonial através de uma rede bem estruturada e aberta a toda a comunidade. De forma genérica, podemos sintetizar os objetivos desta dissertação: - Recuperar/ preservar e divulgar o património (histórico, arquitetónico, cultural, ambiental...); - Criar um ambiente museológico estimulador da curiosidade e interesse pela cultura, património e ciência; - Promover o desenvolvimento sustentável da região; - Promover uma verdadeira gestão criativa dos recursos e do património natural e cultural; - Impulsionar a conservação e valorização do património natural; - Demonstrar em como a política comunitária pode servir como vetor para a promoção e divulgação, em todo território, do museu de carácter local e, em última análise, contribuir para o incentivo e afirmação dos princípios e práticas da Nova Museologia. This work is based on a brief reflection on Museology in Portugal and consequent impacts on regional museology and, more concretely, in the Municipal Museum of Benavente. What is the purpose of the modern museum? It will not be just a simple but also the important function to preserve and expose all sorts of collections, but also able to communicate with different audiences, adapting to contemporary in the region where they live, promoting the interaction between visitor / local inhabitant and the museum which should always bear in mind the constant construction of the museum space under the baton of scientific consistency, artistic and thematic, emphasizing the great regional potential, without forgetting the local diversity, which allow a real territorial cohesion. In this work, in addition to the scientific component - to describe and analyze the role of the Municipal Museum of Benavente, there is also a civic component that through the analysis, we expected to contribute to the improvement and promotion in a effectively and efficient way about the existing heritage and falls on the local development and can contribute (in partnership with local and other cultural, business and tourist organizations) for a better and higher equity release through a well-structured and open network to all community. Generically, we can summarize the objectives of this work: - Recover / preserve and disseminate the heritage (historical, architectural, cultural, environmental ...); - Create a museum environment stimulating curiosity and interest in culture, heritage and science; - Promoting sustainable development in the region; - Promote a genuine creative management of resources and the natural and cultural heritage; - To promote the conservation and enhancement of natural heritage; - Demonstrate how EU policy can serve as a vector for the promotion and dissemination, throughout the territory, the local nature museum and, ultimately, contribute to the encouragement and affirmation of the principles and practices of New Museology.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the role of Ward Committees in facilitating community participation in municipal planning. The main objective was to identify challenges currently faced by Ward Committees in discharging their responsibilities and to make recommendations that would improve Ward Committee's participation in municipal planning. A qualitative approach was adopted and data was gathered through focus group discussions and interviews. The findings indicated that one of the key impediments to Ward Committees having an influence on council decision making appears to be limited power that most Ward Councilors have within the deliberation processes of municipal councils. Moreover, the tensions around respective powers and functions of Ward Committees also highlight a larger fundamental issue affecting public participation and local government. This study found that the role of Ward Committee members in the Integrated Development Planning process is unsatisfactory. The findings indicated that the Ward Committees had limited knowledge of the Integrated Development Plan process despite the fact that they were expected to facilitate and take part in decision making. The study recommends training for Ward Committees on municipal process, clarity on their role and access to information on municipal planning. Ward Committees have a great potential to facilitate bigger community involvement and should be more integrated into municipal processes the study has established. It is therefore necessary that the role of Ward Committees be understood as being an instrument of community participation within a broader context of municipal governance.

Abstract:

Orientação: José Filipe Pinto Num momento de grande incerteza face ao futuro, quando os recursos financeiros são cada vez mais escassos e muito se fala sobre a necessidade de reformas da administração num país que continua a apresentar profundas desigualdades entre o litoral e o interior, importa abordar, em termos científicos, novas propostas para o desenvolvimento dos territórios e das populações que os constituem. A cooperação intermunicipal, apesar de não se constituir como uma descoberta recente, assume – ou pode vir a assumir – um papel inovador no seio do trabalho dos municípios, embora não se perfilando como uma estrutura para os substituir, mas sim como um elemento que pode responder a desafios mais exigentes no seio das regiões. O presente estudo pretende conhecer o desenvolvimento da cooperação intermunicipal no Norte Alentejano e também abrir perspetivas no trabalho de parceria para responder às expetativas do presente e do futuro no âmbito da intervenção (inter)municipal. Num território que apresenta diversos problemas, designadamente, o envelhecimento da população, o êxodo da população jovem, a baixa densidade populacional e uma forte debilidade económica, as autarquias locais assumem uma parte muito significativa do investimento na região. Porém, esse investimento exige uma atuação articulada e concertada, para que os eleitos do poder local possam responder aos desafios locais e globais. Esta Dissertação tenta abrir possibilidades de novos modelos de envolvimento dos diversos agentes locais na cooperação entre si. At a time of great uncertainty about the future, when financial resources are increasingly scarce and everyone speaks about the necessity of reforms of the administration in a country which still presents deep inequalities between the coast and inland, it matters to treat, in scientific terms, new proposals for the development of the territories and their populations. The inter-municipal cooperation, in spite of not being a recent discovery, takes -or it can assume – an innovative role within the work of the municipalities, not to become a structure to replace them, but as an element which can answer to more demanding challenges within the regions. The present study aims to know the development of inter-municipal cooperation in North Alentejo and also to open perspectives on working in partnership to answer to the perspectives of the present and of the future within the (inter)municipal intervention. In a territory that presents several problems, such as, aging population, exodus of the young population, low population density, a strong economic weakness, local authorities take a very significant part in the investment in the region. However, this investment requires a coordinated and concerted action, so that the local authorities can answer to local and global challenges. This Thesis tries to open the possibilities of new models of relationship of the several local agents in cooperation among themselves.
