Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the capacity of local government agencies in Makassar (Indonesia) to provide services to the public. Besides aiming to understand the institutional capacity of local government agencies, the research also examines the role internal and external factors play in determining the service delivery capacity of public organisations. Internal factors refer to the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in public organisations. External factors refer to the degree of bureaucratic and political accountability as well as the level of competition experienced by government agencies.
¶
This research will enrich the existing development literature by strengthening our understanding of the ways in which internal and external factors strengthen or weaken the capacity of public sector institutions.
¶
Institutional capacity is measured by the quality of services provided by the local government agencies as assessed by their clients through both questionnaires and interviews, whereas the data regarding the role internal and external factors play in determining the institutional capacity of local government agencies were collected by in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with the management and staff in a number of agencies, with high-level bureaucrats, with non-government organisations and business associations, and members of the Makassar parliament.
¶
This study concludes that the institutional capacity of local government agencies in the case studies varies, although overall institutional capacity is relatively low or unsatisfactory. Of the four agencies in the case studies, only one agency was able to deliver quality services higher than the level expected by its clients.
¶
In general, this research reveals that the degree of accountability of the local government agencies in the case studies is relatively weak. The study infers that the degree of accountability does not have a significant impact on the agencies' performance.
¶
It was found that the competitive or monopolistic environment in which the local government agencies operate does affect the capacity of the agencies to serve their clients. This capacity is also affected by a number of aspects within the organisation and human resource dimensions of the agencies.
¶
This study shows that, in the case of Indonesia, attempts to improve the capacity of government agencies to deliver quality public services by improving the capacity of parliament to politically oversee the executive, as recommended by a number of international agencies and commentators, may not be the best and most effective alternative. Rather than focusing the resources to improve the degree of political accountability, the study suggests that a more effective strategy to develop the capacity of government agencies is to enhance the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in the public organizations, and to introduce competition into the delivery of public services.

Full textAbstract:
Top executives are interested in more transparent and formalized structures, applicable measurements, and clear justification of alignment. Limited or improper information technology governance (ITG) affects the business strategy that will ultimately influence the overall business alignment in local city government agencies (LCGAs). The problem addressed in this study was the lack of information regarding LCGAs IT/business strategic alignment maturity model (SAMM) level and the LCGAs' employment size. The purpose of this survey study was to evaluate 48 LCGA participants in the Southwestern part of the United States and compare their alignment perceptions with their cities' employment size. The theoretical framework for this study was based on ITG and business strategy as measured by the SAMM instrument. An online survey was used for data collection and data results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an Analysis of Variance. After using the SAMM instrument, the current snapshot maturity level of LCGAs was 2.49 out of a maximum 5.0 level. Results illustrated no significant relationship between LCGAs alignment maturity levels and a city's size. This study empowers positive social change by providing LCGAs 6 incremental steps to improve the overall alignment maturity level in areas of transparent and formalized structures, applicable measurements, and improved alignment measures.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.The Republic of South Africa has drawn increasing attention from the international community for its new approaches towards solving a variety of problems and thus enhancing good governance in Africa in general. Such problems include, but are not limited to, poverty and systemic corruption. The constitutional and legislative frameworks that underpin governance in municipalities are identified and explained. These constitutional and legislative frameworks include the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (RSA, Act 108 of 1996) and the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (RSA, Act 56 of 2003). The manifestations and consequent dangers of poor governance as well as strategies to instil good governance in municipal functionaries are also identified. The manifestations of poor governance include poor financial management, ill-advised appointments and misguided patriotism in service delivery. The consequences of poor governance in local government include high incidents of violence, decline in municipal service payments and the consequent deterioration in service delivery. It is herein argued that municipal functionaries must be able to identify the manifestations of bad governance for them to serve as effective whistle-blowers. The role of the national integrity system as a strategy for combating the manifestations of bad governance is also identified. The national integrity system refers to the holistic approach (or various strategies) for instilling good governance amongst municipal functionaries. These include an anti-corruption strategy for local government (also known as “a local government integrity system”), constitutional strategies and exemplifying ethical behaviour by municipal functionaries. Constitutional strategies include the Auditor-General and the Public Protector. It is argued that preventing unethical conduct such as corruption assists in raising municipal revenues and thus towards improved service delivery. The study concludes by asserting that big, corrupt actors must be named and punished to convince an already cynical citizenry that the avowed anti-corruption drive is more than just lip service. It is, accordingly, important that one of the “first big fish” should preferably come from the governing party to ensure that the party is not accused of protecting its members against charges of corruption.

Full textAbstract:
Twitter has become a popular channel for local governments to explore crisis communication during a hurricane. Local governments use Twitter to distribute crisis messages to the public, and are able to amplify or attenuate risk perception. Many factors attribute to individuals’ risk perception including control, choice, children, novelty, and risk-benefit tradeoff. The Social Amplification of Risk Framework (SARF) provides a guide to understanding the intensifying or weakening of these risk messages. While these crisis messages are directed to the general public, the local governments may be neglecting information for the vulnerable populations. In order to prepare for a hurricane, vulnerable populations need updates from local governments and emergency agencies before, during, and after the hurricane. Relationships among stages of a hurricane, tweet categories, and risk perception were explored. A sample of 1,043 tweets from six Twitter accounts of local governments in Florida were analyzed to provide insight into what type of messages local governments tweet and what risk perceptions local governments emphasize during the stages of Hurricane Irma. Using a Cross-tabulation analysis, researchers analyzed significant differences for stages of a hurricane, tweet categories, and risk perceptions. Findings for this study indicate that results were significant through each stage of the hurricane.

Sweidan, Nada Dimachkieh. "Strategies to Sustain Public Private Partnership: A Lebanese Agency Case Study." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1869.
Full textAbstract:
Four public private partnerships have been created in Lebanon to fulfill the promises of better public value and accelerated economic development for sustainable business development. The problem is some business owners embark on public private partnership projects without following known documented strategies that ensure business sustainability. The purpose of the single case study was to explore the strategies business owners used to sustain public private partnership businesses in Lebanon. The conceptual framework included the theory of X-efficiency and the new public management model. The Northern Lebanon public private partnership was chosen for the study. All 7 business owners participated through interviews for data collection. The emergent themes from the interviews were compared and contrasted across participants' responses and were cross referenced with the academic literature and printed agency reports. Data interpretations were triangulated through member checking. The business owners identified 7 specific strategies to monitor the agency's work. The top 3 strategies were proper selection of partners, the need for a strong technical director, and hiring of professional staff. Three additional strategies noted were the articulation of a clear mission and vision, followed by the development of bylaws and the identification of international best practices. Holding monthly partners' meetings to discuss emerging needs was the last strategy identified for consistent follow up and forward movement of the businesses. The findings over time could promote social change in Lebanon by revealing how municipalities can partner with the private sector and nongovernment organizations to reduce poverty, create jobs, and ensure local economic development.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The practice of public-sector strategic planning has gained dominance in public sector management in imitation of the concept of strategy in military science and later of the practice of strategic planning in the private sector. Its institutionalisation in the public sector should be welcomed as a positive development. The policy and regulatory framework instils a culture of cooperative governance through the promotion of effective intra- and inter-governmental relations that assume a developmental approach to planning. It is this culture that sets parameters within which the practice of strategic planning should be managed in the public sector. Strategy alignment is critical in achieving cooperative governance in strategic planning, as is shown in this study. The study sought to establish the extent to which the existing strategic planning guidelines could be manipulated to achieve alignment between the provincial and local spheres of government. A qualitative study was performed. It relied on both a non-empirical literature review and an empirical investigation to generate its data. Interviews were conducted with representatives of a sample of four Provincial Departments and seven different Municipalities drawn from the three categories of Local Government, namely metropolitan, local and district Municipalities. The Eastern Cape Provincial Government structure with its composite Municipalities constituted the case selected for this study. The study revealed that strategic planning in the province assumes different formats ranging from basic and medium-term to comprehensive and long-term, as well as sector- and project-specific strategic planning processes. The public sector strategic processes are politically influenced, taking their tone from political directives, but driven mainly by administrators. Whereas the active participation of politicians in shaping integrated development plans (IDPs) as the principal strategic plans for Municipalities is acknowledged, the concern that politicians at a provincial level are playing a limited role in shaping Provincial Departments’ strategic plans remains relevant. It is vital that the political governance centre in the province; namely the premier’s office, should take charge of coordinating strategic planning and should be responsible for the alignment efforts of the government structures in the province. Strategic planning plays a significant role in defining the organisational growth path of every public-sector organisation, as well as the management of public resources, financial and non-financial. This study advocates for learning as a central organisational value and recommends that the existing strategic-planning guidelines be improved to embody a cooperative governance approach.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toonaangewende posisie wat strategiese beplanningspraktyk in die openbare sektor, binne die kader van bestuur in die openbare sektor, verwerf het, het beslag gekry weens die nabootsing van strategiese beplanningskonsepte eie aan die militêre wetenskapsmilieu. Dit is later versterk deur navolging van strategiese beplanningsmodelle uit die privaatsektor. Die institusionalisering van strategiese beplanning in die openbare sektor moet as ’n positiewe ontwikkeling verwelkom word. Beleidstelling en ’n reguleringsraamwerk vestig ’n sterk korporatiewe verantwoordelikheidsin. Dit word bewerkstellig deur die bevordering van effektiewe intra- en interregeringsvehoudinge, wat ’n ontwikkelingsbenadering tot beplanning veronderstel. Hierdie kultuur omskryf die raamwerk vir die toepassing van strategiese beplanning in die openbare sektor. Soos hierdie ondersoek aandui, is ’n voorvereiste vir deelnemende bestuur, wanneer daar strategies beplan word, koördinering van strategie. Die ondersoek het ten doel gehad om te bepaal tot watter mate bestaande strategiese beplanningsriglyne aangepas kon word om gerigdheid tussen provinsiale en plaaslike regeringsfere te bewerkstellig. ’n Kwalitatiewe ondersoek is gedoen, gebaseer op navorsingsdata verkry uit sowel ’n nie-empiriese literatuurstudie as ’n empiriese ondersoek. Onderhoude is gevoer met verteenwoordigers van ’n monster werknemers, saamgestel vanuit vier provinsiale departemente en sewe verskillende munisipaliteite. Die volle spektrum van plaaslike regeringsinstellings is gedek, naamlik metropolitaanse, plaaslike en distriksmunisipaliteite. Die provinsiale regeringstruktuur van die Oos-Kaap en sy saamgestelde munisipaliteitstrukture vorm die basis vir hierdie gevallestudie. Die ondersoek het aangedui dat strategiese beplanning in hierdie provinsie verskeie vorme aanneem; dit wissel in formaat van basies en mediumtermyn tot omvattend en langtermyn, asook sektorale en projekspesifieke strategiese beplanningsprosesse. Die strategiese proses van die openbare sektor word polities beïnvloed deur die politieke ondertoon teenwoordig in direktiewe, maar dit is hoofsaaklik administrateurs wat die agenda bepaal. Alhoewel die aktiewe betrokkenheid van politici in die daarstelling van geïntegreede ontwikkelingsplanne (GOP’s), die hoof strategiese planne vir munisipaliteite, erken word, is daar steeds rede tot kommer dat politici op provinsiale vlak slegs ’n beperkte rol vervul as dit kom by die skep van die provinsiale departemente se strategiese planne. Dit is van kritieke belang dat die kern van politieke bestuur, naamlik die kantoor van die premier, in beheer van die koördinering van strategiese beplanning moet wees en verantwoordelikheid sal aanvaar vir die koördineringspogings van regeringstrukture in die provinsie. Strategiese beplanning speel ’n betekenisvolle rol wanneer die organisatoriese ontwikkelingspad vir elke openbare sektor instelling uitgestippel word, asook by die bestuur van openbare bronne; sowel finansieel as nie-finansieel. Hierdie ondersoek maak voorspraak vir die beklemtoning van kennisontwikkeling as ’n sentrale organisatoriese noodsaak en beveel aan dat bestaande strategiese beplanningsriglyne sodanig aangepas word dat dit ’n koöperatiewe bestuursplan vir beter deelnemende bestuur beliggaam.

Full textAbstract:
Una de las formas de relación entre administraciones públicas es la coordinación. Esta relación se entabla a partir de una decisión unilateral y vinculante que adopta una administración pública de un nivel territorial superior respecto del ente local y tiene por destinatario a este último, un ente local.
La institución jurídica objeto de este trabajo será estudiada a la luz de la autonomía que la Constitución reconoce a los entes locales. De esta manera, se presentan propuestas para garantizar un equilibrio entre el ejercicio de un “poder de dirección” que contiene la competencia de coordinación y la capacidad del ente local de adoptar sus propias decisiones.
El presente trabajo estudia los elementos de la institución jurídica que hemos señalado. A tal efecto, se establece una definición de esta figura y se identifican sus características, su fundamento y su límite. Además, se describen los principales mecanismos de coordinación utilizados. A lo largo de este estudio se profundizará en la competencia que da lugar a la coordinación, los efectos que produce sobre las competencias propias de los entes locales y las garantías que operarían como límite a la vulneración de la autonomía local
Por último, la investigación se complementa con algunos instrumentos, como el soft law y las subvenciones, que no cuentan con todos los requisitos para ser identificados como mecanismos de coordinación, pero que ejercen un poder de dirección sobre los entes locales.One kind of intergovernmental relationship is the coordination. It is based on the unilateral and binding decisions taken by a public authority that is at a higher territorial level in regard to the local authority. These decisions are addressed to the local body. The legal institutional objective of this work will be studied based on the perspective of the autonomy that is recognized to local authorities in the Constitution. Proposals are made to ensure a balance between a "power to direct", which contains the coordination competence on the one hand, and the capacity of the local body to make its own decisions on the other hand. This research focuses on the elements of the legal institution: determining its definitions, and identifying its features, basis and limits, as well as the main coordination measures in use. This study will consist of a thorough analysis of the power that gives place to the coordination and its effects on the powers inherent to local authorities, as well as the guarantees that would work as constraints on the breach of the local autonomy. Finally, this research includes the study of some legal instruments such as soft law and grants that do not fulfill all the traditional requisites in order to be identified as coordination measures, but that have the same “power to direct” over local entities nevertheless.

The thesis is the first complex scientific research in Ukraine in which, taking into account legislation, theoretical and practical achievements, a number of conceptual positions and conclusions in theoretical and applied aspects are put forward, in which the current state of development of the local governments bodies, their place, role and functions in the general structure of subjects of crime prevention, in the prevention of certain types of crimes, are revealed. A cause-and-effect relationship between crime rates and the participation of the local government bodies in crime prevention is shown. Based on the analysis of crime in Ukraine, the thesis was formulated that the state policy of promoting the development of civil society in Ukraine should be aimed at using the capacity of the local government bodies to ensure non-conflict relations in ethno-national, cultural and religious spheres, expanding of social intersectional partnership between the government, business and civil society institutions. It is the local government that can create the conditions for direct involvement in the preparation of management decisions of interested public groups, which will contribute to ensuring public consent, social peace, sustainable development and stability in the state. In the course of the study, on the basis of the developed methodology of identification and evaluation of communication between the local government bodies and law enforcement agencies, the public, the theoretical and practical importance of the participation of the local government bodies, as an independent subject, in crime prevention by power balancing between the authorities and executive bodies, was proved. The analysis of current legal framework for regulation of powers of the local government bodies to ensure the prevention of crime is presented and the ways and methods for its improvement are clarified. It was stated that the maintenance of public order and the prevention of offenses at the regional level should be attributed to the issues of local importance, which would comply with the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine. Pursuant thereto, the content of powers of the local government bodies and the territorial community for the prevention of crimes was differentiated. These powers are reflected in the separation of powers functioning on the principles of democracy in the system of supreme legislative and executive bodies.
Диссертация является первым в Украине комплексным научным исследованием, в котором с учетом законодательства, достижений теории и практики, выдвинут ряд концептуальных в теоретическом и прикладном аспектах положений и выводов, которые определяют понятие органов местного самоуправления как субъекта предупреждения преступлений, раскрывают их место, роль и функции. Виявлена и представлена причинно-следственная связь между показателями преступности и участием органов местного самоуправления в предупреждении преступлений. Констатировано, что охрана общественного порядка и профилактика правонарушений на региональном уровне должны быть отнесены к числу вопросов местного значения, что соответствовало бы положениям Конституции Украины. На этой основе предложено наделить органы местного самоуправления организационной и координирующей функциями по отношению к деятельности правоохранительных органов, что сможет ограничить приоритет ведомственных интересов, устранить возникающие противоречия и несогласованности в работе. Указывается на целесообразность использования муниципальной полиции при предотвращении отдельных видов преступлений. Обоснована необходимость взаимодействия органов местного самоуправления с государственной уголовно- исполнительной службой и органами пробации.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the notion of partnership as an approach to long-term sustainable development in Africa, by examining relationships Canadian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) forge with their donors and with counterpart NGOs in developing countries. A case study methodology was used to examine how Canadian NGOs in general, and CARE Canada in particular, work in partnership with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and Kenyan local NGOs. The findings indicate that the development themes and agendas of the past three development decades are reflected in the activities and programs of Canadian NGOs. However, very little was learned about the contribution of partnership to African development. CARE Canada's partnership relations seem to be guided by the development priorities of funding agencies such as CIDA, which dictate how CARE relates to its Kenyan partners. Partnership seems only to facilitate an environment for dialogue between organizations, concerning needs, constraints and fiscal accountability. The study proposes that further research on the concept of development partnerships needs to be carried out in-depth to determine how this model can be used in building capacities of African organizations.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån Sveriges förändrade agenda avseende samhällets beredskap att hantera kriser, studera krisberedskapsprocessen på regional och lokal nivå genom informantintervjuer av nyckelbefattningar inom länsstyrelse och kommun. Uppsatsen svarar genom en deskriptiv fallstudie med kvalitativ metod av länsstyrelser och kommuner på frågeställningarna: Hur genomförs den komplexa krisberedskapsprocessen vid regional och lokal nivå samt vilket behov av stöd kräver krisberedskapsprocessen? I studien sammanställs en empirisk krisberedskapsprocess vilken jämförts med den normativa krisberedskapsprocesen genom att använda Lundqvists (1992) implementeringsteori baserad på Förstå, Kan, Vill. Studiens mest signifikanta resultat är att en väl utvecklad samverkan har identifierats mellan aktörer på regional och lokal nivå. Studien har funnit viss liknelse mellan den empiriska krisberedskapsprocessen och Lundqvists Policyprocessens stadier med förvaltningens huvuduppgifter. Även om informanterna upplever vissa problem inom krisberedskapen, finner vi att aktörerna genom ett stort engagemang anses kunna hantera krisberedskapsprocessen.The purpose of this essay is to examine the crisis management process in the context of Sweden’s changed agenda in terms of community preparedness to crisis management. The study is conducted through interviews with key positions at county governments and municipalities. Through a descriptive case study using a qualitative method the essay answers the following question: How is the complex crisis management process performed at county and local level and what requirements of support does the crisis management process demand? The results from the interviews were compiled to an empirical crisis management process and with help of Lundqvist´s (1992) implementation theory based on Understand, Can, Will, compared to the normative crisis management process. The most significant conclusion of the essay is a well evolved collaboration has been identified in the relation between actors at regional and local level. The study has found certain parables between the empirical crisis management process and Lundqvist´s Policy process stages with main tasks in administration. Even though the informants experience some problem within the crisis management, we find that the actors due to a great dedication are able to handle the crisis management.

This thesis is about the capacity of local government agencies in Makassar (Indonesia) to provide services to the public. Besides aiming to understand the institutional capacity of local government agencies, the research also examines the role internal and external factors play in determining the service delivery capacity of public organisations. Internal factors refer to the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in public organisations. External factors refer to the degree of bureaucratic and political accountability as well as the level of competition experienced by government agencies. ¶ ...¶ This study shows that, in the case of Indonesia, attempts to improve the capacity of government agencies to deliver quality public services by improving the capacity of parliament to politically oversee the executive, as recommended by a number of international agencies and commentators, may not be the best and most effective alternative. Rather than focusing the resources to improve the degree of political accountability, the study suggests that a more effective strategy to develop the capacity of government agencies is to enhance the organisational structure, managerial practices and the management of human resources in the public organizations, and to introduce competition into the delivery of public services.

The main function of government auditing is to ensure the government implements its financial and performance responsibilities to assist the government to carry out good governance. In the first part of this research, Data Envelopment Analysis（DEA）is applied to evaluate the overall technical efficiency, super efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and returns to scale of 22 local government auditing agencies in Taiwan from 2005 to 2009. According to the research findings,（1）Comparatively, local government auditing agencies of Taipei County and Keelung City have the highest overall technical efficiency, while the local government auditing agencies of Taitung County and Chiayi City have the lowest overall technical efficiency.（2）Local government auditing agencies of Taipei County and Keelung City have the comparatively highest pure technical efficiency, while local government auditing agencies of Changhua County and Tainan City have the comparatively lowest pure technical efficiency.（3）The efficiency of local government auditing agencies shows regional distribution, where the efficiency of local government auditing agencies in northern and eastern Taiwan are obviously better than those in central and southern Taiwan.（4）Small scale is a common problem exists in local government auditing agencies.（5）The audit efficiency from 2005 to 2009 rises by year, which shows that the government auditing efficiency is progressive. In the second part of this research, Tobit regression model is applied to conduct regression analysis on the pure technical efficiency of local government auditing agencies to identify the factors that influence the variance of efficiency. The research findings are as follows:（1）The differences between county auditing agencies and city auditing agencies will lead to the variations of efficiency. The audit efficiency of local government auditing agencies that also deal with off-shore islands affairs is lower.（2）The audit efficiency of local government auditing agencies is influenced by their location. If the seats of the largest party in city/county councils are more than half, then the audit efficiency is lower.

The development of Information Technology (IT) has become an inevitable trend, but there are more than half of people in the world who cannot enjoy the benefits of IT. This is what we called the “digital divide.” Digital divide exists among the public, and also exists among administrative agencies of Taiwan local governments. The digital divide among administrative agencies would affect the results of digital policy. Based on the digital divide research report in 2004 of Research, Development and Evaluation Commission, Executive Yuan, my paper focused on the top three and the last three digital divide local governments in Taiwan. Interviews were conducted to these six governments to explore the causes and the solutions of digital divide. The research findings show that the causes of government agencies with bigger digital divide are the lack of budget, high turnover of employees, and low status of information agency; while the reasons of smaller digital divide include: urbanized cities, better information education and leaders’ attention. To solve above problems, it is suggested to unify information human resources, improve information sharing, implement knowledge management, strengthen information education, and to set up Chief Information Officer (CIO).

April 2017The study examined the legal framework establishing Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) as well as actor interactions within the agency policy process, with an ultimate aim of ascertaining the extent of public decision-making. The study was structured around three main components: an in-depth investigation of the literature on agencification; an application of the institutionalism theoretical framework; and an applied case study approach to examine the extent and context of policy decision making within KCCA. The major finding and indeed central argument is that despite the creation of a central policy-making role enshrined in the law establishing KCCA, the policy outcomes are not influenced by the elected leaders but rather by the central government and as such, there is limited public decision-making. This study has empirically shown that the creation of a matrix agency structure with multiple reporting and accountability centres was a symbolic move intended to dupe elected leaders with superficial status and authority, but in essence, without any real powers to demand policy changes, let alone, be able to sanction bureaucrats for their actions or inaction. The study further affirms that bureaucrats managing KCCA affairs, to a great extent, not only play a policy implementation function, but also disproportionately influence the shape of policy as a consequence of the discretionary powers bestowed upon them by the KCC Act (2010). The paper concludes by highlighting that agencification as one of the new public management (NPM) approaches has increased institutional and policy complexities that alienate citizens and citizen groups from the decision-making process. This reality challenges the existing literature on agencification and New Public Management which claims that once we structurally disaggregate and create semi-independent agencies, then we see bureaucrats who are more accountable to citizens.

From the year 2014, with the rise of Taiwan's civic awareness and the failure of representative politics, many mayoral candidates raised the political opinion named "participatory budgeting". Participatory budgeting is one of the forms of "deliberative democracy" and also represents the challenge of direct democracy to the current representative political system and even to local governance. But above all, both the government and the citizens involved in the deliberate process need to understand this new concept and policy approach through empowerment. In this study, the "Department of Youth Affairs, Taoyuan City Government" as the research object, through the literature analysis, in-depth interviews, participate in the observation, to explore the purpose and effect of local government administrative agencies to promote participatory budget training courses. This study is also complemented by a participant questionnaire that analyzes the competencies or accomplishments required by participative budget participants. Through the comparison of empirical data and literature, the findings and suggestions of this study are as follows: 1.Both the theory and the empirical data in this study show "rational" and "understanding" is the relative important and necessary ability of the participants of the participatory budget. 2.The attitude of the executive heads of local governments is the key to promoting participatory budgeting and empowerment. The basic game rules must first be established so that civil servants and citizens can follow the rules. 3.Administrative agencies should learn and try boldly, and develop local issues through partnerships with local schools or societies. 4.Improve the empowerment system and establish a reviewer database as a seed to promote participatory budgeting. 5.Taoyuan is a young and diverse city that hopes to break through the research restrictions through more research in the future in order to improve the participatory budgeting system in Taoyuan.

Charlie, Charlie. "Collaborative Environmental Governance Networks in Small Indonesian Island Tourism Destinations." Thesis, 2014. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/26293/.
Full textAbstract:
The natural environment plays a major role in determining destination attractiveness, particularly in the case of small island destinations characterised by sparse natural resources and a limited environmental carrying capacity. When uncontrolled tourism development occurs in such settings, environmental degradation may occur, thereby reducing destination attractiveness. This pattern is particularly prevalent in small island destinations within developing countries, where the capability of the local government is often lacking, and where resident populations have limited environmental awareness and education. The recent literature on sustainable tourism has embraced a holistic view of tourism systems that acknowledges the need for joint management by stakeholders, including tourism business operators, local government, ecosystem ecologists, non-government organisations (NGOs) and local residents. This view considers that effective environmental conservation in small island tourism destinations within developing countries requires collaboration between relevant stakeholders. This should include the creation of networks and the development of a shared understanding about the collaborative actions governing environmental conservation.
Some of small island destinations in developing countries have developed
