Abstract:
In the article, the key aspects of the effectiveness of administrative and legal protection are researched on the basis of current legislation and opinions on this issue of scholars in the field of administrative law. The author notes that administrative-legal protection is an institution of administrative law consisting of uniform rules of administrative law whose legal effect is directed at the prevention of offenses (crime prevention) and the restoration of violated rights, freedoms and legal interests of individuals and juridical persons carried out for using administrative tools – forms of administrative activity of public administration, administrative coercion and administrative enforcement. The steady development of social relations in administrative law, the improvement of modern technologies, as well as the formation of an information society, could not but affect the state of efficiency of modern administrative and legal protection. The author states that the effectiveness of administrative and legal protection is an integral part of the theory and practice of such protection. Effectiveness of administrative and legal protection is the ability of public administration based on the norms of administrative law to qualitatively and timely restore violated rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of non-authorized individuals and legal entities, public interest of the state and society. Four levels of effectiveness of administrative and legal protection have been formed: sufficient, when the tasks of the public administration in restoration of violated rights of non-authorized persons are generally fulfilled in the normative-legal acts; insufficient, characterized by frequent cases of non-renewal of violated rights and freedoms of man and citizen, but not characterized by systematic; crisis, when there are systematic violations of rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, they do not receive from the state through the indirect activity of the public administration of protection, and dissatisfaction of citizens acquires a significant social weighty protest; is ineffective when the violated rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities are practically not restored, and the law-enforcement system is full of corruption, while the norms of administrative-legal protection change their humane and fair essence and themselves become factors of the destabilization of social relations. It is concluded that administrative-legal protection exists through a system of administrative-legal norms, and at the same time it is proved that it can not, from the point of view of epistemology of law, exist in such narrow limits as the state determines, it reflects objective social relations, protects the most important values, Which during this period of time may not yet find the formal registration in the sources of administrative law, is provided on the basis of administrative law and simultaneously governed by the norms of administrative law, which will establish not only the state, although it primarily. Four levels of effectiveness of administrative and legal protection have been formed: sufficient, when the tasks of public administration set forth in normative legal acts in relation to the restoration of violated rights of non-authorities as a whole are fulfilled; insufficient, characterized by non-isolated cases, not the restoration of violated rights and freedoms of man and citizen, but not characterized by systematic; crisis, when there are systematic violations of rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities, they do not receive protection from the state through the indirect activity of the public administration; the dissatisfaction of citizens acquires significant social protest; is ineffective when the violated rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities are practically not restored, and corruption penetrates the law-enforcement system, while the norms of administrative-legal protection change their humane and fair essence and they themselves become factors of destabilization of social relations.

Abstract:
The article analyzes various approaches to understanding the effectiveness of public administration, which are in foreign and Ukrainian scientific thought. The purpose of the article is to show that administrative efficiency is a component of the general social efficiency of public administration, so it can be studied with the help of analytical tools of competitiveness. The study found that administrative efficiency is often understood as the effectiveness of the organization and functioning of public administration. Administrative efficiency is also understood as the efficiency of management bodies and officials. The authors emphasize that the principles, criteria and factors of the study of effectiveness are very vague. This affects the objectivity of the reflection of the qualitative result of the activities of the public administration body. The scientific novelty of the study is that the authors offer new tools for the study of administrative efficiency. It competitiveness of the state. “Competitiveness” in the context of studying the effectiveness and efficiency of public administration, the subjects of public administration is not considered deeply in the Ukrainian science of public administration. Moreover, in Ukraine, the effectiveness of public administration is increasingly associated with the competencies of civil servants. The authors do not agree with this position and suggest a deeper analysis, firstly, the relationship between public administration efficiency and the country’s competitiveness and, secondly, a deeper study of the analytical capabilities of the theoretical and methodological construct “competitiveness”. Conclusions. As a result, the authors argue that the task of administrative efficiency as an indicator is to reflect an understanding of the activities of institutions, which depends on the efficiency and behavior of both public and private actors, a legal and administrative basis within which individuals, firms and governments interact. and it determines the quality of public institutions. Keywords: country competitiveness, efficiency, public administration, administration, state policy, concept.

Abstract:
The impact of organizational culture on administrative efficiency is a little-studied scientific problem in the field of public administration in Ukraine. Although public administration is being reformed in Ukraine, little attention is being paid to this problem. However, scholars pay attention to the culture of the organization as an economic phenomenon. Various aspects of organizational culture as a transcultural phenomenon are considered. The authors note that organizations in the economic sector quickly took an active position in the use of organizational culture. Organizational culture is studied as an important factor in forming and increasing the competitiveness of enterprises due to the possibility of influencing administrative efficiency. The public sector views administrative efficiency differently: as a social platform for employed citizens. As a result, numerous problems of low administrative efficiency of public sector organizations, unreasonable huge costs, and losses are a burden on the public budget. As a result, inefficient use of public finances delays the socio-economic development of society. This paper discusses the possible causes of this situation. First, cultural management practices in public sector organizations in such societies are deeply rooted in a traditional management culture that has a strong bureaucratic basis. Administrative efficiency is seen not as a result but as a process. Secondly, in the field of science of public administration and administration, the scientific and methodological support of the study of administrative efficiency is insufficiently developed. The authors argue that the study, conceptualization, and operationalization of the impact of organizational culture on administrative efficiency in the context of socio-economic development of a developing country or region is an important scientific problem in public administration (for example, Ukraine, Iraqi Kurdistan). Thus, this study is aimed at developing theoretical and methodological support for the study of assessing the direct and indirect effects of organizational culture on organizational activities and administrative efficiency in the public sector. The example of Ukraine and Iraqi Kurdistan are two different traditions of organizational culture with a common problem of low administrative efficiency. The authors propose research that covers the descriptive design of a methodology for studying the impact of organizational culture on administrative efficiency: first, the analysis of the concept of administrative efficiency, and secondly, the analysis of the concept of organizational culture in relation to administrative efficiency. Methodology: analysis and synthesis when considering strategies, programs, ratings of public sector organizations, in particular, ministries, departments, local governments, which allow analyzing the main directions of reform activities and scientific support of research on the impact of organizational culture on administrative efficiency; methods of systematization and comparison, which were used in determining the nature and features of the impact of organizational culture on administrative efficiency. It is emphasized that such research will provide a deeper understanding of organizational culture and its relationship to administrative efficiency in the public sector. This will have a positive impact on the development of strategies and policies for governance reform and socio-economic development in developing countries and regions.

Abstract:
The problem of improving Chinese governmental administrative efficiency after entering the WTO faces our government. How can we promote administrative efficiency to reach the level of public sector efficiency of other countries? The author starts with the governmental administrative systemn and analyses the systematic reasons for the low efficientcy of the government. The author then puts forward four main suggestions to improve governmental efficiency; chance the governmental administrative mode and distribute the functions and powers of government to multiple levels; unify and condense the governmental administrative structure; construct a govermental system that makes certain the relation betwee functions and powers; construct an "e-government" to promot the reform of governmental operations.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to disclosing the content of the principle of efficiency in administrative cases of public administration in the field of economics, disclosing the importance of this principle for the administration of justice in administrative jurisdiction as a means of protecting Ukraine’s economic interests, substantiation of improving the science of administrative law. It has been proved that the efficiency of resolving administrative cases concerning public administration in the field of economics is inherently related to the category of “reasonable time” of court proceedings. Its defining criterion is the decision of the court of the administrative case in the shortest possible time. The scientific position of the representative of the doctrine of civil procedural law N.Yu. Sakari on determining the reasonable time of the trial of the ideal model of administration of justice is recognized as relevant on the administrative proceedings in resolving the administrative cases. It is substantiated that the efficiency of resolving the considered administrative cases and, hypothetically, administrative cases in general should be considered as a category that combines the factual side (actual maximum speed of court resolution in specific circumstances of the case) and the legal side (deadlines set by administrative procedure legislation). It is noted that the legal side does not correspond to the actual one at the level of procedural legislation, as the term of consideration specified in the article of the Сode of administrative procedure of Ukraine is objectively impossible to comply with in the actual consideration of administrative cases. Under such conditions, it is stated that the procedural deadlines lose their guiding function. The efficiency of resolving the investigated administrative cases is represented by a necessary condition for the recognition of administrative proceedings as an effective means of protecting the economic interests of Ukraine in each case. In order to increase the term of consideration of cases on appeal of regulations, the need to amend Part 8 of Art. 264 of the Сode of administrative procedure of Ukraine.

In response to a widespread dissatisfaction with an inefficient and highly political system of development permitting and land use decision making, Philadelphia instituted a large-scale reform of its zoning code and planning documents in 2007. These reforms attempted to reconcile a reduction in the need for zoning relief with the necessity to maintain some form of community input in development as effective as that which had been made possible by the stream of zoning variances in the past. Municipal planning was emphasized as a means to create more development-friendly zoning procedures. Community review of variance requests was formalized using a system of Registered Community Organizations (RCOs). This thesis proposes that reformers did not sufficiently recognize the ways in which internal neighborhood divisions undermine the smooth operation of a zoning and planning regime. Formalizing community input in zoning relief lends credence to forces of ideological conflict which take legitimacy away from the plan and politicize the administration of zoning. Findings suggest that the compromises necessary in creating a new plan and zoning regime insured that developers will continue to push against planning restrictions, while communities continue to see the zoning relief process as their only avenue to debate cultural and ideological battles around development. This increases the scrutiny on individual projects without allowing more holistic discussions about future growth. RCOs may not be willing or able to run meetings that serve as impartial neighborhood forums, but are asked to do so to be taken seriously by the zoning and planning powers. The impact of RCO's input on developers and on the decisions made by the Zoning Board of Adjustment is uncertain at best. Finally, a number of suggestions are given to improve the system, including a new zoning mechanism designed for mutual gains between neighborhood groups, developers, and the city.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a number of methodological developments that were raised by a real life application to measuring the efficiency of bank branches. The advent of internet banking and phone banking is changing the role of bank branches from a predominantly transaction-based one to a sales-oriented role. This fact requires the development of new forms of assessing and comparing branches of a bank. In addition, performance assessment models must also take into account the fact that bank branches are service and for-profit organisations to which providing adequate service quality as well as being profitable are crucial objectives. This study analyses bank branches performance in their new roles in three different areas: their effectiveness in fostering the use of new transaction channels such as the internet and the telephone (transactional efficiency); their effectiveness in increasing sales and their customer base (operational efficiency); and their effectiveness in generating profits without compromising the quality of service (profit efficiency). The chosen methodology for the overall analysis is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The application attempted here required some adaptations to existing DEA models and indeed some new models so that some specialities of our data could be handled. These concern the development of models that can account for negative data, the development of models to measure profit efficiency, and the development of models that yield production units with targets that are nearer to their observed levels than targets yielded by traditional DEA models. The application of the developed models to a sample of Portuguese bank branches allowed their classification according to the three performance dimensions (transactional, operational and profit efficiency). It also provided useful insights to bank managers regarding how bank branches compare between themselves in terms of their performance, and how, in general, the three performance dimensions are connected between themselves.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 1988, quasi-markets have been introduced into many areas of social policy in the UK, the NHS internal market is one example. Markets operate by price signals. The NHS Internal Market, if it is to operate efficiently, requires purchasers and providers to respond to price signals. The research hypothesis is - cost accounting methods can be developed to enable healthcare contracts to be priced on a cost-basis in a manner which will facilitate the achievement of economic efficiency in the NHS internal market. Surveys of hospitals in 1991 and 1994 established the cost methods adopted in deriving the prices for healthcare contracts in the first year of the market and three years on. An in-depth view of the costing for pricing process was gained through case studies. Hospitals had inadequate cost information on which to price healthcare contracts at the inception of the internal market: prices did not reflect the relative performance of healthcare providers sufficiently closely to enable the market's espoused efficiency aims to be achieved. Price variations were often due to differing costing approaches rather than efficiency. Furthermore, price comparisons were often meaningless because of inadequate definition of the services (products). In April 1993, the NHS Executive issued guidance on costing for contracting to all NHS providers in an attempt to improve the validity of price comparisons between alternative providers. The case studies and the 1994 survey show that although price comparison has improved, considerable problems remain. Consistency is not assured, and the problem of adequate product definition is still to be solved. Moreover, the case studies clearly highlight the mismatch of rigid, full-cost pricing rules with both the financial management considerations at local level and the emerging internal market(s). Incentives exist to cost-shift, and healthcare prices can easily be manipulated. In the search for a new health policy paradigm to replace traditional bureaucratic provision, cost-based pricing cannot be used to ensure a more efficient allocation of healthcare resources.

Abstract:
Political, economic , technological and social changes that occurred in recent decades have led governments around the world, to implement the Public Administration Management, replacing Public Administration Bureaucratic, which has become obsolete, but it is still widely used. In Brazil, the administrative reform of the State has been implemented since the mid 1990s, along with other structural reforms, bringing with it the promise of efficiency, but also issues related to the change process. This study has the general objective, identify the perception of educations technical workers (TAEs) of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), about the characteristics elements of the cultural dimension of Public Administration Management. We list three specific objectives: 1 ) write a history of the models of public administration; 2 ) write a history of public service in Brazil; 3 ) verify the perception of TAEs about characteristics elements of the cultural dimension of Public Administration Management. In terms of methodology, first we conducted a literature review to define the most important concepts, and meet the first and second objectives. Then we use the quantitative method, and the sample survey technique to fulfill the third objective. Sampling was performed by defining a simple random sample, comprising TAES of UFSM, that make up the population studied. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire application, hosted on Google Forms platform, with the access link sent to the email of selected workers. The purpose of the data collection process was to ensure the anonymity of respondents. Finally, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the results evaluated from the perspective of rational choice theory and logic of collective action. The results from the analysis of the data allows us to conclude that TAE of UFSM is currently a qualified Professional, with higher education to that required for admission to the post. Briefly, we conclude that the characteristics elements of the cultural dimension of Public Administration Management, have a high degree of acceptance among research participants. The percentage of agreement to some degree (partially or fully) the relationship between the searched elements and the efficiency in the public service are between 74,3% and 95,8%. Finally, when asked: I know what the Public Administration Management, 37,2% said they did not know what it is about this administrative model, while the remaining 62,8% said they know. Among these latter, the vast majority also agree to some degree with the implementation of the Public Administration Management in UFSM.
As transformações políticas, econômicas, tecnológicas e sociais, ocorridas nas últimas décadas, têm levado os governos ao redor do mundo, na busca pela eficiência administrativa, a implementar o modelo Gerencial de Administração Pública, em substituição ao modelo Burocrático, que se tornou obsoleto, mas ainda é amplamente utilizado. No Brasil, a reforma administrativa do aparelho do Estado vem sendo implantada desde meados da década de 1990, juntamente com outras reformas estruturais, trazendo consigo a promessa de eficiência, mas também problemas, ligados ao processo de mudança. O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral, identificar a percepção dos servidores técnico-administrativos em educação (TAEs) da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), quanto aos elementos que caracterizam a dimensão cultural da Administração Pública Gerencial. Para que o objetivo principal do trabalho fosse alcançado, elencamos três objetivos específicos: 1) elaborar um histórico dos modelos de Administração Pública Patrimonialista, Burocrática e Gerencial; 2) elaborar um histórico do serviço público no Brasil; 3) verificar a percepção dos TAEs quanto aos elementos que compõe a dimensão cultural da Administração Pública Gerencial. Em termos metodológicos, primeiramente realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica visando, além da definição dos conceitos mais importantes, o embasamento necessário ao cumprimento dos dois primeiros objetivos. Em um segundo momento, foi utilizado o método quantitativo, e a técnica de levantamento amostral, visando alcançar o terceiro objetivo. A amostragem foi realizada através da definição de uma amostra aleatória simples, composta por TAEs da UFSM, que integram a população estudada. Os dados analisados foram coletados através de aplicação de questionário estruturado, hospedado na plataforma Google Forms, cujo link de acesso foi enviado para o e-mail dos servidores selecionados. Tal processo de coleta de dados visou, além da celeridade no processo, garantir o anonimato dos respondentes. Por fim, os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva, e os resultados, avaliados sob a perspectiva da teoria da escolha racional e da lógica da ação coletiva. Os resultados obtidos a partir da análise dos dados nos permitem afirmar que o TAE da UFSM é, atualmente, um profissional qualificado, com escolaridade superior à exigida para ingresso no cargo, e que reúne todas as condições para prestar um serviço eficiente e célere, mas que é gerido por uma estrutura administrativa Burocrática deficiente, que não aproveita o potencial humano de que dispõe e que, pelos mecanismos de seu funcionamento, pode desmotivar o trabalhador. Além disso, de forma resumida, podemos dizer que os elementos que compõe a dimensão cultural da Administração Pública Gerencial, e que visam à eficiência e racionalização administrativas, apresentam um elevado grau de aceitação entre participantes da pesquisa. O percentual de concordância em algum grau (parcialmente ou totalmente) com a relação entre os elementos pesquisados e a eficiência no serviço público variam de 74,3% a 95,8%. Finalmente, ao serem confrontados com a assertiva Eu sei o que é a Administração Pública Gerencial, 37,2% disseram não saber do que se trata tal modelo administrativo, enquanto os demais 62,8% afirmaram saber. Dentre, esses últimos, a imensa maioria também concorda em algum grau com a implantação da Administração Pública Gerencial na UFSM.

Nos últimos tempos o gerencialismo vem sendo a tônica do serviço público, a busca da eficiência administrativa torna-se lema dominante. Isto é, conduzir a máquina pública, com desafios cada vez maiores, diante de recursos cada vez mais escassos. E é nesse cenário de eficiência no âmbito da Administração Pública que se inserem as Bibliotecas Universitárias, principalmente aquelas ligadas às Instituições Federais de Ensino, que por isso se transfiguram em organismos públicos. A estratégia tem sido implementada nas organizações como forma de buscar a eficiência, e isso afeta diretamente a Biblioteca Universitária. Assim, o Conselho Universitário da Universidade Federal da Bahia, em sessão ordinária realizada no dia 23 de maio de 2008, resolveu criar, através de Resolução nº 03/09, o Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal da Bahia (SIBI/UFBA), na condição de Órgão Suplementar, para conduzir de forma coordenada e sistêmica, e portanto eficiente, o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, do ensino e da extensão. Não obstante, conforme revisão bibliográfica realizada, o SIBI/UFBA demonstra alguns pontos que não vêm sendo por ele alcançados na busca desta eficiência, e aqui reside a contribuição do presente trabalho: que almejou avaliar a eficiência estratégica do Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal da Bahia, a partir da percepção dos seus servidores. Além disso, visou mensurar a competência básica; o aliar estrategicamente; e o foco no atendimento ao usuário do SIBI através da percepção de seus bibliotecários. Assim, com base na revisão da bibliografia foi estabelecido um traçado metodológico que, através da análise de questionários aplicados à amostra, conduziu a resultados em relação à eficiência estratégica do SIBI/UFBA. E os resultados apontaram algumas fragilidades do SIBI em relação: à focalização da sua missão, visão e planos; ao tratamento da informação como parte de um serviço; à cooptação dos diversos saberes dispersos nos setores da biblioteca ou nas bibliotecas do sistema; à construção de parcerias múltiplas entre os setores da biblioteca e nas bibliotecas do sistema; a ter o usuário como base do negócio; a atender as especificidades dos usuários das bibliotecas; a diversificação dos produtos e serviços oferecidos pelas bibliotecas; e a integração da comunidade ao planejamento da biblioteca. Estas fragilidades, mais do que pontos fracos, são oportunidades de aprimoramento da gestão do SIBI/UFBA, e é isso que o presente trabalho demonstra, ou seja, que ações de melhoria na competência básica, no aliar estrategicamente e no atendimento ao usuário podem, de fato, conduzir a uma maior eficiência estratégica do SIBI/UFBA.

The exemptions for Public Administration are enhanced by greater attendance trends aimed at the Principle of Efficiency , sure the Planning Management should rely on administrative acts digital and greatly enhance the state action . There is need , however, that such practices , not as a mark of excessive bureaucracy , are regulated under the terms and limits of the Principles of Legality and the Supremacy of the Public Interest . The activities of the state are expanded in essential services and interventions in Economics , and the municipalities , this approach symmetric and regional can and should emerge as federal units decentralized and efficient in Public Management . While the managerial and bureaucratic model is still unfeasible in dealing with the regulation of state affairs arises therefore the possibility of Planning seeking qualitative methods electronics.
As derrogações da Administração Pública são aprimoradas por tendências que visam maior atendimento ao Princípio da Eficiência, certo de que a Gestão do Planejamento deva contar com atos administrativos digitais e que sobremaneira intensificam a ação estatal. Há necessidade, contudo, que tais práticas, não como marco de burocracia desmedida, sejam reguladas nos termos e limites dos Princípios da Legalidade e da Supremacia do Interesse Público. As atividades do Estado ampliam-se em serviços essenciais e intervenções na Economia, e os Municípios, nessa aproximação simétrica e regional, podem e devem despontar como unidades federativas descentralizadas e eficientes na Gestão Pública. Ao passo que o modelo gerencial e burocrático ainda inviabiliza-se no trato da regulação dos assuntos do Estado, surge, portanto, a possibilidade do Planejamento em busca de métodos qualitativos eletrônicos.

Abstract:
Public-Owned Enterprises (POEs) are generally large economic enterprises owned and governed by state institutions. POEs generally are the sole or the main provider of the key public goods and services as water, electricity, transport, telecommunications, and postal services. If administered efficiently, the POEs are important for national development and perspective of natural economic resources. The concern is how accurately these monopolistic enterprises are organized in aspects of administrative and managerial perspectives to function as effectively as possible for the objectives they are created. Therefore an overall summary of the public-owned enterprises is presented through their process of emerging, privatization, and evolution in Albania, southeast Europe. The process was accompanied by shortcomings due to its ad-hoc nature; and associated with negative effects of bad management, governance corruption, and low efficiency of the operational activities and results.

Abstract:
The article considers historiographic assessments of the administrative-territorial transformations of the Stalinist period of Soviet history through the prism of relations "Center - Regions." For the supreme government in the period under study, the obvious dilemma was the choice between the economic efficiency of the spatial development of enlarged and self-sufficient regions, on the one hand, and the increase in the political manageability of the Center for regional development, on the other hand. The policy of disengaging the regions and giving the former dis-trict centers the status of regional capitals was connected with the need of the Cen-ter to monitor the processes of industrialization and collectivization, bring man-agement closer to production, as well as weaken the influence of regional leaders to strengthen the regime of personal power of I.V. Stalin. Subsequently, the political struggle for power in the 1950s. contributed to a gradual and irreversible review of the relationship between the central and regional authorities: for political reasons, the Center abandoned the administrative-territorial transformations of the regions.

Full text
Abstract:
The value added tax (VAT) is supposed to be a tax on consumption that achieves greater economic efficiency than alternative indirect taxes. It is also meant to facilitate enforcement through the ‘self-enforcing mechanism’ – based on opposed incentives for buyers and sellers, and because of the paper trail it creates. Being a rather sophisticated tax, however, the VAT is complex to administer and costly to comply with, especially in lower-income countries. This paper takes a closer look at how the VAT system functions in practice in Rwanda. Using a mixed-methods approach, which combines qualitative information from focus group discussions with the analysis of administrative and survey data, we document and explain a number of surprising inconsistencies in the filing behaviour of VAT-remitting firms, which lead to suboptimal usage of electronic billing machines, as well as failure to claim legitimate VAT credits. The consequence of these inconsistencies is twofold. It makes it difficult for the Rwanda Revenue Authority to exploit its VAT data to the fullest, and leads to firms, particularly smaller ones, bearing a higher VAT burden than larger ones. There are several explanations for these inconsistencies. They appear to lie in a combination of taxpayer confusion, fear of audit, and constraints in administrative capacity.

Full text
Abstract:
This project developed conceptual and empirical frameworks to analyze the water management politics as water scarcity increases. The analyses showed that increased scarcity will tend to encourage a transition from systems in which water is allocated administratively to water trading. However, transaction costs and political economy considerations placed barriers on the introduction of markets. The recent droughts - both in Israel and California were shown to cause an increase in water use efficiency by adoption of modern technologies and improvement of water conveyance systems. The drought led to institutional innovations and an increased reliance on trading as mechanisms for water allocation. Case studies from both countries demonstrate that reducing barriers to water trading and increasing farmers' flexibility in exchange of water will lead to efficient outcomes and much better uses of existing water resources.

Abstract:
It is readily apparent to everyone that there are multiple and serious concerns that face Muslim societies today. Terrorism, civil strife, poverty, illiteracy, factionalism, gender injustices and poor healthcare are just a few of the challenges to governance across the Muslim world. These are core issues for governance and public administration in any form of government. However, before we can engage with good governance within the context of Islam, we need to be clear what mean by good governance itself. A simple definition of good governance is that of an institutionalised competency of administration and institution leading to efficient resource allocation and management[1]. Another way of looking at it is as a system which is defined by the existence of efficient and accountable institutions[2]. Civil society now tends to look at good governance by way of impact measurement and how a certain set of processes result in a set of measurable and desirable outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
This note describes how Latin American and Caribbean countries can join a revolution in statistical systems, moving from data collection based on geographic frames to one based on administrative registers, and the advantages of making this change. Northern European countries have already shifted from a traditional area frame-based statistical system to a register-based system, in which all surveys are based on statistical registers. Among the key advantages of the shift are: i) lower production costs; ii) potential for higher levels of geographic disaggregation and greater frequency; and iii) reduce the burden on informants by following the maxim of “ask once, use many times”. Evidence from Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru points to the viability of this transition in the region. However, to take better advantage of the new strategy, countries should invest to improve the quality and coverage of their administrative systems and should create an integrated register system, allowing for efficient data use, and ensuring consistency and coherence across statistical registries.

Full text
Abstract:
Forest and wildland fires are a natural part of ecosystems worldwide, but large fires in particular can cause societal, economic and ecological disruption. Fires are an important source of greenhouse gases and black carbon that can further amplify and accelerate climate change. In recent years, large forest fires in Sweden demonstrate that the issue should also be considered in other parts of Fennoscandia. This final report of the project “Forest fires in Fennoscandia under changing climate and forest cover (IBA ForestFires)” funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, synthesises current knowledge of the occurrence, monitoring, modelling and suppression of forest fires in Fennoscandia. The report also focuses on elaborating the role of forest fires as a source of black carbon (BC) emissions over the Arctic and discussing the importance of international collaboration in tackling forest fires. The report explains the factors regulating fire ignition, spread and intensity in Fennoscandian conditions. It highlights that the climate in Fennoscandia is characterised by large inter-annual variability, which is reflected in forest fire risk. Here, the majority of forest fires are caused by human activities such as careless handling of fire and ignitions related to forest harvesting. In addition to weather and climate, fuel characteristics in forests influence fire ignition, intensity and spread. In the report, long-term fire statistics are presented for Finland, Sweden and the Republic of Karelia. The statistics indicate that the amount of annually burnt forest has decreased in Fennoscandia. However, with the exception of recent large fires in Sweden, during the past 25 years the annually burnt area and number of fires have been fairly stable, which is mainly due to effective fire mitigation. Land surface models were used to investigate how climate change and forest management can influence forest fires in the future. The simulations were conducted using different regional climate models and greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Simulations, extending to 2100, indicate that forest fire risk is likely to increase over the coming decades. The report also highlights that globally, forest fires are a significant source of BC in the Arctic, having adverse health effects and further amplifying climate warming. However, simulations made using an atmospheric dispersion model indicate that the impact of forest fires in Fennoscandia on the environment and air quality is relatively minor and highly seasonal. Efficient forest fire mitigation requires the development of forest fire detection tools including satellites and drones, high spatial resolution modelling of fire risk and fire spreading that account for detailed terrain and weather information. Moreover, increasing the general preparedness and operational efficiency of firefighting is highly important. Forest fires are a large challenge requiring multidisciplinary research and close cooperation between the various administrative operators, e.g. rescue services, weather services, forest organisations and forest owners is required at both the national and international level.

Full text
Abstract:
Serving as a windbreak, properly sited and designed snow fences have been proven effective in mitigating the negative impacts of blowing snow. To achieve the best snow-control effects, the ideal locations for snow fences are usually outside the roadway right-of-way. Few efforts have been made to examine the economic efficiency of snow fences and explore ways to reward private landowners. The objective of this project was to develop methodologies for evaluation of the costs and benefits of snow fences in Illinois and identify ways to encourage private landowners’ participation in the snow fence program while keeping it cost-effective. The researchers conducted a literature review as well as agency and landowner surveys. They also acquired crash data, snow fence and blowing snow segment inventory data, and blowing snow removal expenditure data as well as performed benefit-cost analyses of three types of snow fences following Federal Highway Administration guides. The survey results suggested that standing corn rows (SCRs) and structural snow fences (SSFs) were the least intrusive options for landowners and living snow fences (LSFs) with trees were the most intrusive. Some concerns related to LSFs could be reduced by allowing landowners to play a role in the design and plant-selection process. The crash data indicated that no fatal and severe crashes occurred at snow fence segments, while several fatal and severe crashes occurred at blowing snow segments during 2012–2016. The results of the benefit-cost analyses showed that the benefit-cost ratios for LSFs and SSFs are comparable. However, LSFs are favorable over SSFs because little maintenance is needed after the plants are mature. Although SCRs have the highest benefit-cost ratio, the need to renew the agency-landowner agreement annually and the alternating of crops planted may limit their snow-control effectiveness and large-scale implementation. A tool was developed using MS Excel to facilitate the benefit-cost analysis of snow fences.
