Abstract:
We explore the ways that perceptions of media effectiveness are affected by the societal culture, organizational culture, occupational (professional) culture, individual characteristics, and technology acceptance. This is an important subject to explore, as communication is essential to organizational functioning. The continuous drive for communication to individuals in different national and organizational situations around the world, due in part to globalization, leads us to ask: which medium is perceived as the most effective for each of the tasks a manager may be called upon to perform, particularly in different cultures? In other words, is the receiver getting the message that we intend, when the receiver is not in the same situation (societal, organizational, professional, etc.) as the sender? There are contexts of shared values, rules, and experiences that affect communication; words do not have the same meaning and value across languages and cultures (Macnamara, 2004). This means that the message sent from one context may not be the message received in another. If we are not communicating the messages we intend, then our method of communicating may be efficient, but it is certainly not effective. However, there is little research on the effectiveness of media types. We develop a framework highlighting the intersection of variables salient to effectiveness: societal, organizational, and occupational culture, individual characteristics, and technology the sender? In the conclusion, we suggest future work that might be appropriate, given the increasing interest in global communication.

Abstract:
Leading people from diverse cultures is centrally important in organizations. This study investigates the extent to which transformational leadership behaviors are universal: by examining if leaders and followers perceive transformational leadership behaviors the same way across cultures; and by determining if the magnitude of satisfaction that followers derive from transformational leadership behavior is the same across cultures. Survey data from 71,537 leaders and their direct reports (n = 203,027) from 77 countries were analyzed. Respondents represented hundreds of different organizations, 12 functional areas, 26 industries, and all management levels. Cultural universality was examined by comparing internal reliability scores and using multilevel mixed coefficient models to assess the similarity of effect sizes in across cultures. Regardless of culture, when interacting with leaders from their own culture, followers were universally alike in their perceptions of transformational leadership behavior and in their satisfaction with such behavior.

Abstract:
Drawing on learning and generational theory, we investigate the effect of socio-economic and contextual conditions on managerial learning and organizational development. Using data from 3657 managers across 20 countries, we untangle the interactive effect of national culture and generational cohort on learning goal orientation (LGO). Managers from younger generations (e.g. generation X) had a stronger LGO than those in older generations (e.g. Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1959). Performance orientation (PO) moderated the relationships so that the gap was stronger in high PO cultures. A validation of a model using hierarchical linear modelling (HLM) supports a cross-level moderation model of PO on LGO. Our study provides important first evidence of the value of the multilevel analysis to understanding LGO in different groups of managers, improving scholarly capacity to understand the multilevel and cross-level effects that govern the workplace. It also supports cross-level studies for the development of global managers from different generational groups. We extend LGO research by identifying the contextual influence and how this impacts on the behaviour of managers across different societal ‘structures’ (e.g. generations) and societies (e.g. cultures). The results provide practical suggestions that make a difference in the workplace.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of national culture on the adoption of four different incentive pay bundles (incentive maximizer, contingent rewarder, profit rewarder, and incentive minimizer) using GLOBE national culture dimensions in 14 countries. It uses incentive pay bundles derived by Prince et al. (2016). Design/methodology/approach The study adopted multilevel random-intercept logistic modeling using firm incentive practice usage from the CRANET database and country culture scores from the GLOBE study. Findings Evidence suggests that in-group collectivism is associated with increased use of the incentive maximizer approach, in which firms use a combination of high levels of individual, team, and profit sharing incentives, and decreased use of the incentive minimizer approach (where firms minimally employ incentives) and the individual and team bonus focused contingent rewarder configuration. Higher uncertainty avoidance is linked to increased use of the profit rewarder approach (where only profit sharing is emphasized) and decreased use of the contingent rewarder approach. Performance-orientation cultures appear to support using the incentive maximizer and avoiding the incentive minimizer bundles. Originality/value This study investigates incentive practice bundles that firms use verses separate analysis of practices and use the GLOBE culture metrics. It utilizes multilevel modeling, which has been lacking in past studies of culture and incentives.

Abstract:
AbstractThe present article offers an overview of the historical influences, conceptual assumptions, and major findings and issues associated with the study of culture and psychopathology. The article traces continuing reductionistic resistance to the incorporation of cultural considerations in the etiology, expression, and treatment of psychopathology to historical and contemporary forces. These forces include ‘cultural context’ of Western psychiatry and psychology, which choose to locate the determinants of behaviour in the human mind and brain. A definition of culture that acknowledges its internal and external representations is offered, and steps in the cultural construction of reality are proposed. Within this context, the risks of imposing Western cultural views universally are noted, especially attempts to homogenise classification and diagnostic systems across cultures. ‘Culture-bound’ disorders are used as example of Western bias via the assumption that they have ‘real’ disorders, while the other cultures have disorders that are shaped by culture. Cultural considerations in understanding the rate, etiology, and expression are presented, including recommended criteria for conducting epidemiological studies across cultural boundaries, especially ‘schizophrenic’ disorders as this problematic diagnostic category is subject to multiple cultural variations. The article closes with discussions of ‘cultural competence’ and ‘multilevel’ approaches to behaviour.

Abstract:
The present study investigated the relationship between adolescents’ perception of a lack of classmate support and their individual and their respective culture’s daily amounts of television viewing and computer use. We tested multilevel regression models based on data from the responses of 150 552 adolescents aged 11, 13, and 15 years from 34 cultures who participated in the 2001-2002 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) survey. Results revealed that the average amount of television viewing in the respective adolescents’ culture explained variation in their perception of a lack of classmate support in addition to their own amount of television viewing. No effect for computer use was found. It appears that, in countries in which a great deal of television is consumed, everyone is affected and not only those who watch a high amount of television. This adds to concerns about television viewing as a significant risk to the health of adolescents.

Abstract:
Purpose Drawing on signaling theory and adopting a multilevel approach, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how meso-organizational attributes interact with the macro cultural context to affect employees’ behavioral responses to internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This study unpacks the behavioral process through which internal CSR affects employees’ organizational citizenship behavior in an organization that has obtained SA8000 and that operates in an understudied Italian context characterized by high individualism and masculinity. Design/methodology/approach Bootstrapped multi-mediation analysis was used on a sample of 300 employees operating in one of the most important and largest Italian retail stores active in the food industry and involved in socio-environmental responsibility. Findings Results show that when a company obtains an internal CSR quality credential, particularly SA8000, an auditable certification standard that signals that a company goes beyond compliance standards to tailor to the well-being of its employees, it will likely attract like-minded employees that will positively react to internal CSR initiatives even when operating in a highly individualistic and masculine culture such as Italy. Originality/value While prior research has shown that internal CSR initiatives have a lower and, in some cases, an insignificant impact on employees’ behavioral outcomes in cultures characterized by individualism and masculinity, this study shows that the interaction between the cultural setting and company specific attributes can turn this effect to be significant, strong, and positive.

Abstract:
Answering research calls for better contextualisation of entrepreneurial behaviour, we examine the cultural contexts in which individuals with entrepreneurial values (Schwartz’s self-enhancement- and openness-to-change values) are most likely to be entrepreneurs. Culture is assessed through Schwartz’s cultural dimensions of mastery and egalitarianism. The results of multilevel logistic regressions with more than 35,000 respondents nested in 28 European countries support the hypotheses that individual values are more important for explaining entrepreneurship in non-entrepreneurial cultures (low in mastery and egalitarianism). Our results indicate that mastery compensates for openness-to-change, whereas egalitarianism reduces the impact of both self-enhancement and openness-to-change values.

Abstract:
Although the Job Demands-Resources Model (JD-R) is the dominant theoretical framework used to understand the relationship between workplace factors and employee well-being, the cross-cultural generalizability of this model has seldom been directly tested. Therefore, this study examined whether and to what extent relationships between: 1) job demands (i.e., organizational constraints) and strain (i.e., job satisfaction, and turnover intentions) and 2) job resources (i.e., job control, participation in decision-making, direct supervisor support, senior leader support, and clear goals and performance feedback) and strain were moderated by cultural dimensions (i.e., individualism-collectivism and uncertainty avoidance). Survey data from workers in 28 countries were used to examine these questions. Results revealed that culture-level individualism-collectivism and uncertainty avoidance independently and significantly moderated some job demands-strain and job resources-strain outcomes relationships. Specifically, job control and senior leaders support was consistently and more strongly, negatively related to strain in more individualistic cultures, and participation in decision-making was more strongly, negatively related to strain in more collectivistic cultures when using cultural scores from both Hofstede and GLOBE taxonomies. In contrast, although I also uncovered some significant moderating effects of culture-level uncertainty avoidance on job demands-strain and job resources-strain relationships, the results from these analyses were often in the opposite pattern when GLOBE versus Hofstede cultural scores were used. Overall, the present study sheds light on the generalizability versus specificity of the JD-R model across cultural contexts.

Abstract:
Perfectionistic standards are ubiquitous features conveyed in several aspects of life. Although some aspects of perfectionism may be beneficial to promote achievement, continuously targeting perfection and flawlessness has been shown to impede on one’s psychological adjustment, motivation, and self-regulation (Hewitt & Flett, 1991). Essentially, there still exists no consensus among researchers to identify whether perfectionism—or at least, some facets of perfectionism— is likely to promote or undermine positive outcomes (e.g., Gotwals, Stoeber, Dunn, & Stoll, 2012). The 2 × 2 model of perfectionism (Gaudreau, 2012; Gaudreau & Thompson, 2010) is a welcome addition for researchers studying perfectionism because it proposes an open-ended theoretical system in which novel hypotheses are amenable to empirical scrutiny, thus offering leeway for researchers to theorize and reinterpret those past mixed findings. The overarching goal of this dissertation was to address some of the gaps of the perfectionism literature in order to better understand under which circumstances perfectionistic standards are useful to foster achievement without thwarting psychological adjustment. Accordingly, the current dissertation used the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism as theoretical framework to propose four original studies regrouped under three articles. In Article 1, we aimed at providing a multilevel extension of the 2 × 2 model in order to better understand how the relationships between subtypes of perfectionism and indicators of positive and negative psychological adjustment may vary according to the level of analysis that is being studied. In other words, in this study, we examined the within-person relationships between subtypes of perfectionism and psychological adjustment (i.e., accounting for the fact that these relationships may vary within each person from one life domain to another) in complement to the between-person relationships (i.e., accounting for individual differences across people). A sample of 338 undergraduate students completed measures of perfectionism, vitality, goal progress, affect, and stress for each life domain in which they reported being invested. Preliminary analyses of multilevel confirmatory factor analysis supported the multilevel factorial structure of our measure. Furthermore, results of multilevel regressions with random coefficient supported most hypotheses of the model with positively-, but not negatively-worded outcomes, deserving further discussion. In an attempt to better understand these unexpected yet interesting findings, Article 2 aimed at extending the findings of Article 1 by examining the multilevel associations between subtypes of perfectionism and coping strategies of undergraduate students. Two studies were conducted to examine the between- and within-person relationships respectively. Accordingly, 332 undergraduate students completed measures to assess their dispositional perfectionism and coping tendencies in Study 1 (i.e., between-person). In Study 2, 203 undergraduate students completed repeated measures of perfectionism and coping for each life domain in which they reported being invested (i.e., within-person). Results of multiple regressions from Study 1 (i.e., between-person) showed similar findings than those obtained in past research with task- and disengagement-oriented coping, and support of all four hypotheses was obtained with relative coping (i.e., proportion of task-oriented compared to one’s overall coping). Results of multilevel regressions with random coefficient from Study 2 (i.e., within-person) provided support for all hypotheses with disengagement-oriented coping, two hypotheses with task-oriented coping, and three hypotheses with relative coping. Finally, in Article 3, we aimed at identifying the potential role of moderators in the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism, particularly the role of sociocultural identity. A sample of 697 undergraduate students (538 Euro Canadians and 159 Asian Canadians) completed measures aimed at assessing perfectionism and indicators of school achievement (i.e., satisfaction and grade-point average). Preliminary multi-group confirmatory factor analyses with invariance testing supported the factorial structure of our measure across both samples, thus rendering the measure equivalent across both sociocultural groups. Furthermore, results provided support for our socially prescribed perfectionism as a cultural makeup hypothesis, suggesting that Asian Canadians with a subtype of mixed perfectionism (i.e., high self-oriented and high socially prescribed perfectionism)—in contrast to their Euro Canadians counterparts—were able to reach both the achievement and satisfaction targets known to play an important part in the positive academic experience of students. Overall, the current dissertation bears significant theoretical implications by providing further validation of the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism, as well as supporting a multilevel and cross-cultural extension. It also holds methodological contributions by supporting the factorial invariance of the short-Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale across levels of analysis and sociocultural groups. Furthermore, this dissertation involves practical implications for clinical psychologists by underlining the need to compare clients to their own average across significant domains of their life (e.g., to monitor their progress or areas of concern) along to the normative standards designed to compare them with individuals (e.g., to monitor their levels in comparison to the population).

Abstract:
National media attention sensationalizes the panic of obesity prevalence, placing fat bodies in the spotlight. Scholars employing social and cultural analyses criticize the way negative messages about obesity and fatness are delivered. Few studies directly engage with people of different body sizes asking how their experiences interact with the discourses that frame fat bodies as part of the “epidemic.” The present study is informed by scholarship centered on critical perspectives of health, food and embodiment furthering a critique of the way messages are disseminated by local health and food justice organizations through media campaigns and community programs that heighten fears of fatness. Miami offers a unique lens for a place-based approach to problematize assumptions, politics and discourses about bodies and health. Analysis of interviews with six organization representatives shows an overall emphasis on individually-targeted initiatives that detract from examining structural factors. This phenomenon aligned with mainstream discourse, centering individual choice and responsibility at the heart of the purported problem of obesity. An ethnography of body size, where residents of Miami communities speak to their own perspectives on these organizations and discourses, offers a unique approach showing how messages interact with lived experiences. The narratives of twenty women demonstrate their own concerns and thoughtfulness in making sense of the ubiquitous claims about obesity. My work contributes to critical theoretical perspectives that engage with problems of the body, health, food studies and elements of gender, race and class across numerous disciplines. This multi-disciplinary approach underscores the complexities of embodied experiences of discourses, politics, body size, health and place.

Abstract:
Este trabalho examinou as influências do global mindset (GM) e de características culturais (distância do poder e controle de incertezas) das matrizes de multinacionais brasileiras sobre a formação de competências em suas subsidiárias no exterior. Mais especificamente, investigou a influência dessas variáveis independentes sobre o desenvolvimento, nas próprias subsidiárias, de competências passíveis de serem transferidas (para outras unidades ou para a matriz), bem como sobre a transferência de competências da matriz para as subsidiárias. Além disso, o trabalho também investigou quais são as características atuais do GM das multinacionais brasileiras. Para testar as hipóteses de pesquisa, foi realizada um survey que empregou uma abordagem multinível e, na análise empírica, foi utilizada a modelagem hierárquico-linear. Um conjunto de 97 multinacionais foi identificado e convidado a participar. O número de questionários devolvidos e considerados para a análise empírica, foi: 64 questionários de matrizes (nível 2) e 79 questionários de subsidiárias (nível 1). Os resultados da análise descritiva indicaram que as multinacionais brasileiras têm, em geral, um alto GM; esse resultado reflete o perfil da amostra, que foi composta por empresas brasileiras que estão entre as mais internacionalizadas. Ainda assim, detectou-se um pequeno grupo (6%) que apresentou GM mais baixo. Identificou-se, também, que \"habilidades globais\" é a dimensão do GM que apresenta as maiores fragilidades entre as empresas brasileiras. Além disso, a análise de clusters indicou que as empresas têm diferentes configurações, quando o seu GM e fatores culturais são considerados em conjunto; o maior conglomerado apresenta uma composição de alto GM e altos fatores culturais, simultaneamente. Os resultados da análise multinível, por sua vez, apontaram que há uma relação positiva entre GM e o desenvolvimento de competências não locais nas subsidiárias; já os fatores culturais analisados (distância do poder e controle de incertezas), têm uma relação negativa com o desenvolvimento dessas competências. Por outro lado, a influência de fatores culturais é maior do que a do GM (conforme análise dos coeficientes de regressão). Também foram identificados efeitos de dimensões que compõem as variáveis independentes: habilidades globais têm uma relação positiva e distância do poder tem uma relação negativa como o desenvolvimento de competências não locais nas subsidiárias. Os resultados também revelaram efeitos das variáveis GM e fatores culturais sobre competências específicas, desenvolvidas nas próprias subsidiárias ou transferidas a partir da matriz brasileira. Somente quando as competências foram testadas em separado surgiram resultados significantes para a transferência da matriz. O presente trabalho contribui com a teoria e pesquisa em negócios internacionais ao explicitar o modo como GM e cultura da matriz relacionam-se à formação de competência nas subsidiárias. Foi observada, sobretudo, a sua influência sobre as competências não locais das subsidiárias, que podem ser transferidas para outras unidades da rede multinacional. Como estas competências são muito importantes para a competitividade internacional das empresas brasileiras, observa-se que essas dimensões ao nível da matriz (GM e cultura) requerem especial atenção e devem ser monitorados e gerenciadas. Uma outra contribuição do estudo é de natureza metodológica, ao explorar um formato de pesquisa (multinível) e uma abordagem de análise empírica (HLM), que são pouco freqüentes em pesquisas quantitativas da área de negócios internacionais, apesar do seu grande potencial. Os limites da pesquisa, bem como indicações para novos estudos, também são apresentados.
This study examined the influences of global mindset (GM) and cultural characteristics (power distance and uncertainty avoidance) of Brazilian multinational headquarters on the formation of competences at their foreign subsidiaries. More specifically, it investigated influences of those independent variables on the development of non-local competences (by the subsidiaries themselves) and on the transfer of competences from the parent companies to their subsidiaries. Furthermore, the study investigated the main characteristics of Brazilian multinationals´ GM. For the hypotheses to be tested, a survey was carried out, employing a multilevel research design; for the empirical analysis, a hierarchical linear modeling was employed. Initially, a set of 97 Brazilian multinationals were invited to take part in the research. The total number of returned and acceptable questionnaires was: 64 from headquarters and 79 from subsidiaries. The results of the descriptive analysis indicated that Brazilian multinationals have, in general, a high GM; this finding reflects the profile of the sample which comprised some of the most internationalized Brazilian companies. Nevertheless, it was identified that a small group of companies (6%) show lower GM levels; it was also observed that \"global skills\" is the GM dimension regarding which Brazilian firms are most fragile. Furthermore, a cluster analysis revealed that those companies present multiple configurations when GM and cultural factors were considered simultaneously; the most numerous cluster encompassed companies which have, at the same time, higher GM levels and higher cultural factor levels. The multilevel analysis, in turn, indicated that there is a positive relationship between GM and the development of non-local competences at subsidiaries; conversely, cultural factors (power distance and uncertainty avoidance) are negatively related to development of non-local competences. Furthermore, according to the regression coefficient analysis, the effect of cultural factors on non-local competences is stronger than the GM effect. When the dimensions that comprise the independent variables were tested separately, it was noticed that global skills are positively related to development of non-local competences at subsidiaries; power distance, in turn, is negatively related. The results also revealed effects of GM and cultural factors on specific competences developed at subsidiaries or transferred from Brazilian headquarters. Significant results for headquarter transfers were noticed only when the competences were tested separately. This work contributes to theory and research on international business by showing how culture and GM influence the formation of competences at subsidiaries, particularly competences that may be transferred to the multinational network (non-locals). As such competences are especially relevant for the competitiveness of Brazilian companies abroad, the headquarter dimensions (GM and culture) deserve to be monitored and managed. Another contribution of this study is of methodological nature, as it employed a multilevel research design and hierarchical linear modelling. In fact, these approaches have been overlooked in international business research, despite their potential and strengths. The limits of this study and suggestions for further research are also discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Relying on the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) model, resource-based view (RBV), and human capital perspectives, this study examines the influence of HR systems (skill-enhancing practices, motivation-enhancing practices, and empowerment-enhancing practices) on organisational and individual outcomes. Seeking an explanation for the underlying mechanism, this study investigates the mediating effect of organisational culture and human capital on the association between HR systems with organisational-level outcomes (service performance and organisation-citizenship behaviour) and the individual-level outcome (turnover intentions). This study considers the important role of employees’ perceptions of HR practices by combining the perceptions of HR managers with those of employees in a multilevel analysis. The empirical research is based on a sample of 1,207 usable questionnaires from 129 HR managers and 1,078 employees in 98 companies in knowledge-based services in Saudi Arabia. The multilevel structural equation modelling (MSEM) with Mplus, version 8, is used to analyse the data. This study shows that not all HR systems affect organisational outcomes in similar ways. While motivation-enhancing practices are the only HR system to have a direct effect on service performance, all three HR systems have direct effects on OCB and turnover intentions. The skill-enhancing practice have the largest effect on OCB while the empowerment-enhancing practice have the largest effect on turnover intentions. The analysis reveals that different HR systems may contribute to shaping various organisational cultures in order to attain the desired outcomes. While the relationships between skill and empowerment practices, and service performance are positively mediated by competitive and innovative cultures, such relationships are negatively mediated by bureaucratic cultures. In contrast, these culture types have opposite effects on the relationship between motivation-enhancing HR practices and performance. This study finds that while bureaucratic and community cultures negatively mediate the effects of skill- and empowerment-enhancing HR practices on OCB, both culture types positively mediate the effects of motivation-enhancement practices on OCB. This study does not support the mediating effect of organisation culture on the association between HR systems and turnover intentions. This study shows that human capital only mediates the relationship between motivation-enhancing HR practices and both service performance and OCB. The present research provides several noteworthy contributions to our understanding of the mechanism by which HRM influences performance in the service sector. Although the present study describes some of its limitations, it highlights a number of important implications for researchers, as well as for practitioners. A number of possible directions for future studies have been provided.

Abstract:
The development of computational sciences has fostered major advances in life sciences, but also led to reproducibility and reliability issues, which become a crucial stake when simulations are aimed at assessing control measures, as in epidemiology. A broad use of software development methods is a useful remediation to reduce those problems, but preventive approaches, targeting not only implementation but also model design, are essential to sustainable enhancements. Among them, AI techniques, based on the separation between declarative and procedural concerns, and on knowledge engineering, offer promising solutions. Especially, multilevel multi-agent systems, deeply rooted in that culture, provide a generic way to integrate several epidemiological modeling paradigms within a homogeneous interface. We explain in this paper how this approach is used for building more generic, reliable and sustainable simulations, illustrated by real-case applications in cattle epidemiology.

Abstract:
Esta investigación de posdoctorado tiene como objetivo analizar si al interno de los procesos de planificación del territorio en Uruguay, existen metodologías de planificación colaborativa adecuadas a identificar y apoyar una geografía de territorios emergentes con modalidades de cogestión sustentable y participativa. El momento histórico del Uruguay es sumamente propicio, ya que en el 2008 con la aprobación de la Ley Nacional de Ordenamiento Territorial y Desarrollo Sustentable, se abre un proceso de discusión y revisión de los principales aspectos territoriales del país, así como de la potencialidad y necesidad de una planificación multiactorial a varios niveles. Nuestra investigación se focaliza en particular en el sector de la planificación de los recursos patrimoniales, que pueden tener una sostenibilidad a través del Turismo, para preservar los paisajes culturales y naturales del país de frente a los escenarios depredadores de la agricultura extensiva con agroquímicos, la forestación o la minería a cielo abierto. The current postdoctoral research aims to analyze the territorial planning in Uruguay, in order to understand if it has the suitable tools to support a new geography of emerging sustainable and participatory territories. Nowadays Uruguay has a new National Planning Law for sustainable development that allows to think in a new way of multilevel governance, as well as revalue the main territorial resources in the country. Our research focus on the area of Tourism as it is one of the most interesting strategies for safeguarding the cultural heritage and natural landscapes, as well as creates a new economy against the main polluted exploitations of extensive agriculture, trees plantation and mining.

Abstract:
In an inland southern region of Portugal, pathologies that intersect social and environmental problems have been identified, such as low density, aged and dispersed population, as well as low rainfall and high temperatures. An applied research and development initiative endorsing those problems was carried out by students and staff of the University of Lisbon along two years. This text reflects on this experience and the role of design on such predicaments.The research questions are: how and what kind of innovation can design bring to the community's quality of life in territories under adverse conditions of that kind?A previous analysis, carried out between local authorities and our design school, allowed us to trace two lines of investigation, one aimed at intensifying the flow of people within the territory, and the other focused on promoting the relationship between Man and his environment.Considering that design can contribute to the process of social change, through design for social innovation and collaborative services, we reflect on the main characteristics that the design projects must contemplate, which are: a user-centered perspective; be a participatory process; to draft with a sustainability perspective; adopt a multilevel perspective; to endorse innovation and; sustain problem solving.The research methodology involves the transversal use of design methods and participatory processes, immersion in the territory, collection of primary and secondary data, definition of the concept, development of proposals, communication and validation by the municipal authorities.The results are a set of projects with a wide range of solutions in the field of social innovation, with the aim of valuing social interaction, valuing culture and regenerating the local landscape, namely: a cultural caravan service; a Lab-desk service; a cultural project to reactivate community wood-fired bread ovens; a website to publicize local projects focused on agroecological food; a Center for the Intangible Cultural Heritage; a co-working and co-living service; an environmental festival; a research service aimed at better understanding the needs of the “silent population”; a garden at the historic urban center of Mértola town; a public botanical garden; and, the renovation of a public area in a small village.The relevance of this work lies in the assertion of the potential of design strategies for social inovation, particularly in a context of social and environmental adversity, where design can fullfill a key role valuing the daily lives of populations. This article demonstrates that there is an immense space for work involving the public institutions managing this type of territories and the design academia. From our experience, a transversal line stands out: the intersection between local knowledge and the external population. This converges it the idea that the value that design brings to this kind of community is the drafting of arenas of social interaction where the local social fabric is nurtured and, simultaneously, beholding people´s awareness of the surrounding environment’s frailty.

Abstract:
El creciente proceso de dispersión territorial de las ciudades latinoamericanas y venezolanas (Maracaibo), deriva de la expansión incontrolada de la periferia urbana por ausencia o trasgresión de las restricciones físico-geográficas y legales y es consecuencia de la migración, el laissez faire territorial, la poca capacidad de gestión y la ausencia de cultura de sostenibilidad. Resulta de formas de producción del hábitat -paisajes urbanos híbridos-dispersos, donde coexisten y se mezclan en un continuo espaciotemporal desarticulado, fragmentos urbanos con diferentes códigos genéticos (urbanización espontánea y planificada). Este patrón de ocupación y desarrollo urbano, basado en tipologías extensivas de bajo rendimiento-intensidad de uso, genera fuertes presiones frente a las que parece no existir capacidad de respuesta institucional o a las que muchas veces no se quiere responder por razones políticas e ideológicas. La dispersión urbana en Maracaibo se ha traducido en el aumento de los costos de urbanización, del incremento del déficit de los servicios infraestructurales, de las asimetrías en la distribución espacial de calidad de vida y la precariedad. Este modelo disperso-insostenible que caracteriza a Maracaibo - con 1,6 millones de habitantes - ha desbordado los límites de la ciudad, ocupando los bordes de los corredores urbanos metropolitanos que desde la ciudad atraviesan la Zona Protectora (ZP). La ZP es un green belt plurimunicipal de 20.800 Has, que bordea y define el limitefrontera urbana del Archipiélago Metropolitano de Maracaibo (AMM). La ZP fue decretada en 1989 por el Ministerio del Ambiente (MARN) para frenar la expansión anárquica de Maracaibo y actuar como agente regulador del clima y el medio ambiente en beneficio de la calidad de la vida urbana y como políticacontenedor del crecimiento urbano de la ciudad, actualmente en proceso de ocupación por rituales urbanos en expansión. La ponencia presenta la metodología -estrategia de planificación-evaluación innovadora- (EPE+i) y resultados de un Estudio realizado para el Ministerio del Ambiente, con el fin de decidir sobre la desafectación total o parcial de la ZP. Con ese propósito se evalúa el impacto de los posibles futuros escenarios de ocupación urbana de la ZP, en la sostenibilidad del AMM. La EPE+i llena el vacío de la planificación-gestión urbana en Venezuela, asumiendo el principio de sostenibilidad y trenzando estratégicamente el proceso de Planificación-Gestión Urbana (PGU), con el modelo Presión- Estado-Respuesta (PER) y el apoyo de Tecnologías de Información Geográfica (TIG) -imagen satelital y SIG- para desarrollar modelos urbanos y atributos e Indicadores de Sostenibilidad Urbana (ISU) específicos. La sostenibilidad y gobernanza (participación-interacción política y social multinivel), se asumieron como principios clave del estudio, para la toma de decisión ética y construir una visiónhipótesis territorial integral y concertada de futuro para el conjunto urbanos ZP-AMM. La ponencia concluye presentando el resultado de la aplicación de la estrategia metodológica, EPE+i = [PGU+PER+TIG] (tecnovación creativa), donde los modelos SIG de vulnerabilidad, consolidación y conformidad de uso y el modelo síntesis, conformidad-adecuación ambiental y legal de la ocupación urbana de la ZP, constituyen los atributos e ISU de Estado; los escenarios se transforman en atributos e ISU de Presión y la gobernanza, evaluada a través de tres variables, legitimidad por desempeño, gobernabilidad y participación, conforman los atributos de Respuesta y seleccionado como política urbana y visión-hipótesis territorial integral para el conjunto ZP-AMM, el escenario E2: Corredores de Expansión Tendencial, porque organiza la ocupación lineal urbana actual, a lo largo de los corredores metropolitanos, manteniendo las áreas intermedias como zonas verdes de protección. Urban sprawl in Latin-American and Venezuelan cities derives from uncontrolled urban expansion of the periphery, due to the absence or infringement of geographical and legal restrictions through planned and spontaneous urban occupation (hybrid urbanization). This in turn results from migration and territorial laissez faire; limited urban management capacity and sustainability culture in public, private and community institutions although they perceived and inhabit a precarious environment and frequently protest demanding services, security and houses. For Sempere (2005, is caused by illegal ways of habitat production based on low density and extensive typologies. This urban pattern generates strong pressures against which there is no institutional capacity or will to respond due to political or ideological reasons. This disperse-unsustainable model in Maracaibo (capital of the Zulia State, located at the western extreme of Venezuela) has led to the explosion of the city boundaries, and the occupation of the edges of the metropolitan urban corridors, which run from the city across the Protective Zone (PZ). The PZ is a green belt of 20.800 Hectares, decreed in 1989 to act as a policy-container of urban growth by defining the city west boundaries and is in the process of transformation-mutation by urban rituals in expansion. It is the territorial expression of the contemporary forms of making city which result from the practice of the visible management government (VMG) in metropolitan Maracaibo, referred by Ferrer and others (2005) as Maracaibo’s metropolitan archipelago (MAM). The paper describes the method, innovative planningevaluation strategy (IPES) and the results of a study that evaluates the impact of sprawl -urban occupation of the Protective Zone (PZ)-, in Maracaibo’s -hybrid metropolitan archipelago- (HMA) sustainability. The IPES fills the gap of the local urban planning assuming the principles of sustainable development (SD) by means of braiding the urban planning process (UPP) with the Pressure-State-Response Model (PSR) and Geographical Information Technologies (GIT) -satellite images and GIS- to develop urban models, specific attributes and urban sustainable indicators (USI). The IPES (UPP+PSR) is a multilayered-relational model that works, within the PSR model and grapping this model with the UPP. In this model, the causes of environmental changes, Pressure are correlated with the urban-spatial scenarios, their effects State, with the diagnose synthesis and, the Response with the multilevel government and stakeholders, urban projects, actions and policies, proposed and undertaken to deal with these changes. To reach an ethical decision, a concerted vision of the future scenarios and to build an integral territorial hypothesis for the PZHMA, sustainability and governance -stakeholders’ participation- were the key principles of the study. The paper concludes presenting the IPES model (creative technovation), where the GIS models of vulnerability, consolidation, conformity of usage and the model synthesis, environmental and legal conformity-adequation of the urban occupation, serve as specific State Attributes; the envisioned urban - spatial scenarios constituted the Attributes of Pressure and urban governance, measured through three variables, legitimacy by performance, governability and participation, configured the Response Attributes and selecting as policy and integral hypothesis –vision for the PZ-MAM the E2 Scenario: Corridors of Tendencial Expansion because controls, adjusts and organises the present lineal urban occupation along the metropolitan corridors maintaining intermediate areas of green protection and re-creates a new hybrid sustainable urban landscape, a compact, dense and multifunctional-polycentric PZ-MAM.
