Full textAbstract:
This study critically examines the role of visitor use
information in park management planning. Few park planning
documents utilise visitor use information. This is thought
to result from two problems. Firstly, visitor use studies
have been plagued with methodological problems such as
unclear objectives, lack of rigour in the survey design and
lack of synthesis of information needs. These have resulted
in data which are unreliable and at times have no direct
implication for management planning. The second problem
arises from the lack of understanding of the role visitor
use information may play in the planning process.
A case study, the Centennial Park User Survey, was
undertaken to demonstrate how the inadequacies of existing
visitor use studies could be overcome and to provide a base
for future planning of Centennial Park. The survey data
have assisted Management both in day-to-day decision making
and future management planning relating to control of
forthcoming events, responding to public comment, traffic
management, facility provision, staff changeover, park staff
work programmes and rosters, allocation of financial and
staff resources, promotion of the Park, provision of
interpretative material and re-allocation of users.
By comparing the shortcomings of previous studies with the
experience of the case study, specific implications for the
collection and use of visitor use information in park
management planning have been identified.

Attaining the ‘appropriate’ balance between human use of national parks and their protection is a topic of considerable public, scientific and business interest and is thus an important focus for research. An increasingly affluent and mobile western society has made tourism the world’s largest industry; an industry with a significant reliance on the attractions of protected areas such as national parks and their wildlife. Regional communities have benefited from protected areas through local tourism expenditure and government recognition of the economic and social values realized from protected areas. High levels of visitation, and the management of this human use require effective management. But tensions arise when park managers invoke policies and management prescriptions to mitigate the adverse affects of human use. These actions and the way they are implemented can have an alienating impact on local communities, particularly those with a direct business dependency on park tourism. This thesis explores the notion that truly sustainable management of national parks can only be achieved if park managers and communities living adjacent to parks work together in a partnership to meet each other’s needs and through this process, foster the long-term environmental, social and economic benefits that can be derived from these parks. This thesis documents how a local community perceives its park managers and thereby the impact that park management has on local communities. It then seeks to identify the opportunities for park managers and communities to improve the way they view each other and the skills, attitudes and approaches necessary to create the environment for a sustainable relationship and can deliver sustainable outcomes for both parties.Three methods were employed to progress this research; an extensive review of literature and theory on relevant aspects of the people and parks relationship; the use of a case study of communities adjacent to parks on the Ningaloo Coast; and, qualitative and quantitative surveys to inform those case studies. A resident perception survey of the Exmouth and Coral Bay communities was conducted in August 2005. At the same time key stakeholder representatives were interviewed. Secondary quantitative data on the areas economy and demographics was also collected to triangulate aspects of the primary data. The Ningaloo coast community’s perception of park management has been adversely affected by a recent (2004) management planning process for Ningaloo Marine Park that culminated in significant constraints being placed on recreational fishing access. Both the planning process and the decision have been the focus of community anger. Currently the levels of trust and respect within the community for the park agency and its management performance are low. Despite evidence that the parks of the Ningaloo coast make important social and economic contributions to the local communities of this area, the local community holds negative perceptions of the social and economic impacts of park management, and are influenced strongly by the local community’s attitudes, perceptions and feelings towards the park agency. The park agency’s inability to consult, involve and communicate with the local community (to the satisfaction of the local community) contributes to these attitudes, feelings and perceptions.
Key findings include; the prevailing norms and belief systems within the park agency reinforce the classic managerial paradigm; park management fails to accommodate broader social and economic measures, which diminishes trust and undermines attempts to foster community involvement and stewardship; ineffectual leadership, poor communication and outmoded approaches to planning and community engagement, local apathy to involvement in park planning and a lack of community education in regard to the promotion of park values, programs and activities compound this situation. The Ningaloo coast has the potential to provide an exceptionally bright future for its local communities, based largely on the inherent natural and cultural values of Ningaloo Marine Park, Cape Range National Park and other associated reserves. Whether the potential to develop community stewardship of the parks of the Ningaloo coast is fully met depends largely on the willingness of park management to relinquish some of its power, establish a suitable governance model in order to work collaboratively with the community and communicate effectively with it in order to achieve sustainable futures for both the park and the community.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study assessed the performance of South Africa's Housing Policy in Ivory Park, an informal settlement in Midrand. The study used effectiveness, efficiency, equity, responsiveness and affordability, as criteria for assessment. Research was carried out using a literature review; and face-to-face interviews with officials from the Midrand Metropolitan Local Council, and the residents of Ivory Park who had already moved into the newly built houses. The study found that the performance of the policy in Ivory Park is mixed. From the point of view of effectiveness, the policy has had a positive impact on the lives of beneficiaries. The bigger picture of housing delivery, and the way the policy is being assessed by other spheres of government however, has reduced assessment of the policy to the numbers of housing built, and not taken sufficient consideration of the value of other elements of the policy. The greatest efficiency drawback has been the speed of implementation. The policy is moving at a relatively slow pace. The distribution of the resources of the policy has been equitable, in that the unemployed and households with irregular incomes have been reached by the housing policy. However, there have been difficulties in stimulating the local materials supply industries in the area, but efforts have gone into activating that part. The policy has been responsive, and beneficiaries are satisfied with the role played by the local authority, community organisations and contractors involved in housing delivery. Although the new houses built have not themselves adversely affected the cost of living of beneficiaries, the poverty level in the area, would continue to make services such as housing, unaffordable to households. The study recommends that in future, there be increased consultations with intended beneficiaries of a housing policy, in order to align the views of policymakers with those of beneficiaries. There is also a need to develop indicators that take into account all the objectives government pursues in the housing sector. The local authority should also track ownership of the built houses, to ensure that any change in ownership does not compromise the welfare of beneficiaries, and lead to the subsidisation of housing acquisitions of well-off households. Housing polices should have a more economic development slant, as the new services coming with housing would not have a greater impact in situations of persistent poverty.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het die Suid-Afrikaanse Behuisingsbeleid beoordeel in Ivory Park, 'n informele nedersetting in Midrand. Hierdie beoordeling het die volgende kriteria gebruik, te wete doeltreffendheid, doelmatigheid, eweredigheid, die respons van die inwoners en bekostigbaarheid deur die inwoners. Navorsing is uitgevoer deur middel van 'n literatuuroorsig en persoonlike onderhoude met Raadslede van die Midrandse Metropolitaanse Raad asook die inwoners van Ivory Park wat alreeds in hul nuutgeboude wonings ingetrek het. Die studie het gemengde bevindings ten opsigte van die beleid binne Ivory Park opgelewer. Vanuit 'n doelmatigheidsoogpunt gesien het die beleid 'n positiewe uitwerking op die lewens van die begunstigdes uitgeoefen. Binne die groter geheel van behuisingsvoorsiening, asook die manier waarop die beleid beoordeel word deur ander regeringsfere, blyk dit egter dat die beleid slegs beoordeel word op grond van die aantal wooneenhede gelewer sonder om die ander elemente van die behuisingsbeleid te verdiskonteer. Die implementeringspoed van die beleid was die grootste nadeel vanuit 'n doeltreffendheidsoogpunt gesien aangesien die beleid teen 'n relatiewe stadige pas beweeg. Die bronne van die beleid is eweredig versprei deurdat werkloses en huishoudings met ongereelde inkomste deur die beleid bevoordeel is. Probleme is ook ondervind met die stimulasie van plaaslike boumateriaal voorsieningsindustrieel binne die gebied, maar inisiatiewe is geloods om die gedeelte te aktiveer. Die respons van die gemeenskap, binne die konteks van behuisingsvoorsiening, dui ook op hul tevredenheid met die rol van die plaaslike owerheid, gemeenskapsorganisasies en die betrokke kontrakteurs. Alhoewel die nuwe behuising nie die lewenskoste van die begunstigdes nadelig beinvloed het nie, dra die hoe armoede vlak in die omgewing daartoe by dat behuising vir vele inwoners onbekostigbaar bly. Die studie beveel aan dat daar in die toekoms toenemend met die beoogde begunstigdes van die behuisingsbeleid gekonsulteer moet word ten einde die sienings van die beleidmakers en die begunstigdes in ooreenstemming te bring. Ontwikkelingsindikatore en regeringsdoelwitte moet ook in berekening gebring word binne die behuisingsektor. Die plaaslike owerheid moet ook die eienaarskap van die nuwe wooneenhede navolg om te verseker dat eienaarskap nie die welsyn van die begunstigdes negatief affekteer nie, of dat dit nie lei tot die subsidering van die meer gegoedes in die verkryging van wooneenhede nie. Die behuisingbeleid moet ook 'n groter ekonomiese onderbou he ten einde armoede te bekamp.

De, Vries Leani. "A 'paradox of the Commons'? : The planning and everyday management of Green Point Park." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/23760.
Full textAbstract:
Cape Town's Green Point Park is a legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, built on the then dilapidated, former Common. Initially heavily contested, it is now a beautiful, popular, and well-used public space that attracts diverse people from all over the city. The thesis narrates its paradoxical story by drawing on historical and archival data, park observations, a transect walk, as well as qualitative interviews with city planners, park management, service providers, and the formerly sceptical local public. First, the thesis reflects on the conflictual planning process that led to this new urban park and a changed vision and function for the Common. Second, it explores the park's everyday operation, the management and maintenance that are central to its present acceptance and safe, clean and pristine condition. I argue that the City's planning 'by exception' of the park, and the public-private management vehicle is central to its success and differentiates it from how others operate in the city. I suggest that this neoliberally planned and managed public park produces a paradox: it has restored this space once again as a usable and accessible public 'common'. This argument challenges a literature that assumes neoliberal forms of planning and regulation to limit, at best, or destroy urban spaces, resulting in a similar 'tragedy of the commons' (Hardin, 1968) or 'end of public space' (Sorkin, 1992; Mitchell, 1995). In contrast, the thesis builds on Jerram's (2015) critique in that the traditional commons too often become 'historical fantasy,' a theorised ideal and almost impossible reality, in the contemporary neoliberal era. This more nuanced assessment of the contemporary commons is important in the South African urban context, where there is great concern that neoliberal, market-led, world city agendas perpetuate exclusion and historical legacies of segregation (Marais, 2013). In a 'paradox of the commons', this publicly regulated, privately maintained free-to-the-public park has restored what was previously a Commons, albeit an unsafe and largely unused space. The Green Point Urban Park suggests a need to 'rethink' parks and their planning and management in contemporary and neoliberal post-apartheid South Africa. They do not necessarily result in a certain 'tragedy of the commons' or 'end of public space'.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to their original purpose as recreational areas, urban parks provide important habitats for species living in urban settings. Reconciling recreational and environmental goals is problematic, especially for park planners. RIM Park, in Waterloo, Ontario, is an example of this attempted reconciliation, where planners and managers attempted to conserve herpetofauna in a provincially significant wetland. However, this area includes a paved nature trail used by hikers, in-line skaters and cyclists and is adjacent to a golf course (which lies within the boundaries of the park). Herpetofauna breeding ponds were constructed and a series of culverts and clearspans included in order to provide reptiles and amphibians with safe passage under the trails. My objective was to determine whether these measures have been effective, whether the park sustains a viable population of Northern Leopard Frogs, and what factors influence frog populations in the park. Two spring field seasons involving mark and recapture techniques were attempted to estimate population sizes of Northern Leopard Frogs at RIM Park, as well as control sites. In both seasons, a control site was a cedar swamp 14 km to the west of the park within an Environmentally Sensitive Policy Area in Waterloo city limits affected by housing development and shared trails. Also within Waterloo city limits, a storm water management pond 8 km to the west was added in field season two. In 2005 (field season 1), because there was a serious drought almost no Northern Leopard Frogs were captured at the two sites examined ? RIM Park and the cedar swamp. In 2006, the more "normal" weather conditions revealed that RIM Park had significantly fewer Northern Leopard Frogs than either of the control sites. Given the lack of data in year 1, I compared the 2006 results to seven years of monitoring reports on RIM Park from consultants. The 2006 data were consistent with previous reports of small Northern Leopard Frog populations at RIM Park. Mark and recapture sessions revealed relatively low numbers, with a catch average of 4. 33 (SD = 1. 15). Calculations revealed an estimated population of 23 (SE = 13. 42). The highest number of observed Northern Leopard Frogs ever recorded at the same location in consulting reports is 5. It is likely that the ponds at RIM Park do not support breeding in Northern Leopard Frogs as the only adults caught were late in the season, during the last week of May, and adults likely were transients from the nearby wetlands and uplands. It is possible, given the historical monitoring data, that the Northern Leopard Frogs were long absent from RIM Park because of intensive farming activities that had replaced the wetlands, and that construction of the golf course and trails further precluded colonization. The lack of adult frogs in the breeding ponds and the lack of dead or injured frogs on the trails or golf course support the hypothesis that the trails are not presently causing frog mortality. It is possible that the frogs are avoiding recolonizing the trail and golf course area. It is also likely that the breeding ponds need to be deepened and only then will it be apparent whether the frogs will colonize the ponds, lay eggs, and use the clearspans and culverts. Recommendations include a shift in priorities to put the emphasis on restoration, a discussion of restoration options (including a possible restoration plan), possible improvements in amphibian monitoring techniques (such as reducing the reliance on audio methods), and general suggestions for urban park planning and management.

Full textAbstract:
Management prescriptions that describe desired conditions for resources and visitor experiences have become widely accepted as an important component of public land management plans. However, very little effort is spent on evaluating and learning about this part of the planning process.
This research identifies and addresses the need to explore opportunities for additional guidance on the development of management prescriptions, by (1) evaluating the current perception of the purpose of management prescriptions; (2) developing criteria and other tools to guide the development of management prescriptions based on the experiences of public land management professionals; and (3) testing an alternative method for collecting visitor preference data regarding social, resource and management conditions to inform development of management prescriptions.
The first two papers report the results of a visitor preference study, using the stated choice method, conducted in Acadia National Park. The purpose of the first paper is to identify visitor preferences for tradeoffs among social, resource and related management conditions of the recreation setting. The purpose of the second paper is to identify differences among visitor preferences for social, resource and management conditions in various recreation settings. By considering the integrative nature of these attributes and the relative importance to visitors across recreation settings, the definition of management prescriptions can be better informed. To further investigate the results of the stated choice method and ensure the validity of the data, a verbal protocol assessment was applied to a sample of the stated choice survey respondents.
The purpose of the third paper is to reexamine the role of management prescriptions for park management planning and investigate tools for facilitating development of management prescriptions. The study included in-depth interviews, participant observation of a three-day planning workshop and a written survey. All of the participants in the various components of the study were National Park Service land management professionals. The study resulted in a list of the purpose and criteria for management prescriptions and a related menu of desired condition topics, which will be integrated into planning guidance to aid the development of unique and effective management prescriptions for national parks.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
An important requirement of a rational policy for provision of outdoor recreation opportunities is some understanding of natural processes and public concern and /or preferences. Computerized land use suitability mapping is a technique which can help find the best location for a variety of developmental actions given a set of goals and other criteria. Over the past two decades, the methods and techniques of land use planning have been engaged in a revolution on at least two fronts as to shift the basic theories and attitudes of which land use decisions are based. The first of these fronts is the inclusion of environmental concerns, and the second is the application of more systematic methods or models. While these automated capabilities have shed new light on environmental issues, they, unfortunately, have failed to develop sufficient intelligence and adaptation to accurately model the dynamics of ecosystems.The work reported proceeds on the belief that neural network models can be used to assess and develop resource management strategies for Mounds State Park, Anderson, Indiana. The study combines a photographic survey technique with a geographic information system (GIS) and artificial neural networks (NN) to investigate the perceived impact of park management activities on recreation opportunities and experiences. It is unique in that it incorporates both survey data with spatial data and an optimizing technique to develop a model for predicting perceived management values for short and long term recreation management.According to Jeannette Stanley and Evan Bak (1988) a neural network is a massively parallel, dynamic systems of highly interconnected interacting parts based on neurobiological models. The behavior of the network depends heavily on the connection details. The state of the network evolves continually with time. Networks are considered clever and intuitive because they learn by example rather than following simple programming rules. They are defined by a set of rules or patterns based on expertise or perception for better decision making. With experience networks become sensitive to subtle relationships in the environment which are not obvious to humans.The model was developed as a counter-propagation network with a four layer learning network consisting of an input layer, a normalized layer, a kohonen layer, and an output layer. The counter-propagation network is a feed-forward network which combines Kohonen and Widrow-Hoff learning rules for a new type of mapping neural network. The network was trained with patterns derived by mapping five variables (slope, aspect, vegetation, soil, site features) and survey responses from three groups. The responses included, for each viewshed, the preference and management values, and three recreational activities each group associated with a given landscape. Overall the model behaves properly in learning the different rules and generalizing in cases where inputs had not been shown to the network apriori. Maps are provided to illustrate the different responses obtained from each group and simulated by the model. The study is not conclusive as to the capabilities of the combination of GIS techniques and neural networks, but it gives a good flavor of what can be achieved when accurate mapping information is used by an intelligent system for decision making.Department of Landscape Architecture

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Succession planning has to do with passing on responsibility. For companies to be world-class organisations the transfer of responsibility from one executive to another or from one manager to another must be quick and effective otherwise the company stands the chance of losing millions, its reputation and competitive position within the industry its operates. The first section of the study focuses on a literature overview with regard to succession planning. The literature research outlines once again that more indepth research on succession planning is needed in the South African context. The overview, however, forms a solid basis from where the study could expand and forms the cornerstone for developing the people management review model outlined in the second part of the study. From the research and model it is quite clear that the concept of competencies, competency models, competency-based performance and performance-potential management should play an important role in future succession planning processes. From the different segments of the people management review model it is clear that succession planning will need to become part of a series of real-time strategising within companies, that will require the full participation and effort of everyone involved, ensuring an optimally effective process. The model therefore forms the basis of the total tranformation process within companies, and becomes part of future strategic planning in companies en route to become globally competitive.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Opvolgbeplanning het te doen met die oordrag van verantwoordelikheid binne maatskappye. Ten einde vir maatskappye om wêreldklas te wees is dit nodig dat die oordrag van verantwoordelikheid van een bestuurder na die volgende so glad en effektief moontlik sal verloop. Indien dit nie gebeur nie loop maatskappye die risiko om miljoene rande te verloor en daarmee saam hul reputasie en kompeterende posisie binne die bedrywe waar hul opereer. Die eerste deel van die studie fokus op 'n literatuur-oorsig rondom opvolgbeplanning. Die oorsig beklemtoon weereens die behoefte aan meer indiepte navorsing rondom opvolgbeplanning binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Die literatuur vorm egter die basis en hoeksteen vir die res van die studie en die ontwikkelling van die oorsig-model vir mensebestuur soos uiteengesit in die tweede deel van die studie. Dit is duidelik uit hierdie navorsing dat die konsep van vermoëns, vermoëns-gebaseerde prestasie, en prestasie-potensiaal-bestuur 'n belangrike rol gaan speel in toekomstige opvolgbeplannings aksies binne maatskappye. Vanuit die verskillende komponente van die model is dit verder ook duidelik dat opvolgbeplanning 'n waardevolle en belangrike deel van strategiese beplanning moet vorm en dat die volle samewerking van almal in die proses betrokke sal verg ten einde dit doeltreffend en glad te laat verloop. Die model moet verder deel vorm van die totale proses van transformasie binne maatskappye ten einde wêreldklas standaarde te bereik.

This thesis studies Fair Park, a 277 acre public park located in Dallas, Texas. Fair Park represents prevalent planning challenges - the repurposing of sites that have outlived their initial uses and the reintegration of such sites into their surrounding contexts. To better understand the site, a historical overview of the development of Fair Park from inception to its current condition is provided. Fair Park is looked at within the context of South Dallas in efforts to understand the past planning efforts and why they have succeeded/failed. A new framework for thinking about future planning efforts for Fair Park is proposed so that the site can catalyze the revitalization of South Dallas at large. Two alternative land use scenarios are provided to illustrate the site's development potential under the proposed framework. The thesis concludes with proposing a structure for moving forward with the planning and implementation of new development in Fair Park and summarizes some potential obstacles to implementation that must be carefully considered.

Full textAbstract:
Parks Canada uses park management planning to put into practice the dual mandate of protecting environmentally significant areas and providing for recreational activities within those areas. A park management plan lays out the objectives and strategies to indicate how each national park will protect and represent its natural and cultural heritages. A geographic information system (GIS) can support park management planning by providing the concepts of a data base management system and the capabilities of transforming spatial data into information through data integration, analysis-synthesis, and communication. Park management planning of a section of the Alsek River valley of Kluane National Park Reserve in the Yukon Territory requires the use of specific GIS concepts and capabilities. A three-phase GIS framework focusing on the pre-conditions to GIS application, the GIS application, and the GIS application evaluation is used to define the necessary concepts. The capabilities include acting as an inventory, analysis-synthesis or management tool to contribute to mapping, monitoring, and modelling the valley's resources and visitor activities.

Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The economic policy of the South African government referred to as the Growth Employment and Redistribution Strategy (GEAR) has had a crippling impact on millions of poor and lowincome families in South Africa since its adoption in 1996. The benefits to the minority have not compensated for the increased inequality, uncertainty and poverty that others have experienced (McDonald & Pape, 2002:24). South Africa became the first African state to develop and implement a structural adjustment programme by voluntarily seeking the assistance of the World Bank and the IMF (Bond, 2000a:35). The government’s own statistics reveal that unemployment, which was already high, reached catastrophic levels since 1996 and the poor became significantly poorer (Beuchler, 2002:04). Together with their community leadership, poor people increasingly managed to articulate the link between the increased poverty and hardships they experience and the state’s macro-economic policies. More than a decade into democracy, Mandela Park finds itself under armed assault by the State. Several community members have sacrificed their lives while fighting revolutionary struggles to ensure access to basic services and to remain in the places apartheid confined them. None of them ever thought that the hopes and dreams they harboured while fighting for democracy would be so brutally suppressed by the very government for which they sacrificed their lives. Community organizations such as the Mandela Park Anti-Eviction Campaign (MPAEC) make significant contributions to community empowerment by mobilizing and articulating the voices of the poor and the vulnerable groups in the society to resist the State’s hegemony with regards to service cut-offs and household evictions.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ekonomiese beleid van die Suid Afrikaanse regering wat bekend staan as GEAR het n kreupelende uitwerking op miljoene arme en lae-inkomste gesinne in Suid Afrika gehad veral sedert die program in 1996 deur die regering aanvaar is. Die voordele aan ‘n enkele minderheid het nie vergoed vir die toenemde ongelykhede, onsekerhede en armoede wat andere ondervind het nie (McDonald & Pape, 2002:24). Suid Afrika het die eerste Afrika staat geword om n strukturele aanpassingsprogram te ontwikkel en te implementeer deur vrywilliglik die hulp van die Wêreld Bank en die Internasionale Monitêre Fonds te soek (Bond, 2000a:35). Soos die regering se eie statistieke aandui, het werkloosheid wat alreeds hoog is, katastrofiese vlakke bereik terwyl die land se armes merkwaardig armer geword het (Beuchler, 2002:04).Arm mense het tesame met hul gemeenskapleiers toenemend daarin geslaag om die verband tussen hul groeinde armoede en swaarhede, en die regering se makro-ekonomiese beleid te identifiseer. Nou, na meer as ‘n dekade in demokrasie, bevind Mandela Park inwoners hulself onder gewapende aanval deur die staat. Gemeenskapslede het revolusionêre gevegte gestry en hul lewens op die spel geplaas om toegang tot basiese dienste te verseker en te bly in die plekke waar apartheid hulle gevestig het. Niemand het ooit kon dink dat die hoop en drome wat hulle gekoester het terwyl hulle teen apartheid geveg het, so wreed onderdruk sou word deur dieselde regering waarvoor hulle hul lewens opgeoffer het nie. Gemeenskapsorganisasies soos die MPAEC in Mandela Park het ‘n betekenisvolle bydrae gemaak tot die bemagtiging van daardie gemeenskap deur die mobilisasie en artikulasie van die stemme van die arm en kwesbare groepe in die samelewing om weerstand te bied teen die Staat se hegemonie ten opsigte van die beeindiging van dienste en die uitsetting van gesinne uit hul huise.

The purpose of the creative project was to complete a Design Standards Manual consisting of guidelines and standards to aid Park Planners in completing the site design process (the site design plan and construction drawings). The project consists of chapters pertaining to playground, outdoor athletic facility, parking lot and park road, plant material, trails-paths, and signage design.The project was tested through a case study involving Ball State University landscape architect students redeveloping twelve school sites for the City of Anderson School Corporation. The test was to determine if an organized, technical manual would ease decision making in the site design process, make plans consistantly workable, and not limit the Planners originality and creativity. The case study was summarized, evaluated, and the project's usefulness and limitations were concluded.Department of Landscape Architecture

This paper explores the practices of natural resources management, community development, and public arts by comparing the integration of social engagement as part of project management. All three of these practices originate from goals of social change and continue to advance in their disciplinary fields. Community-Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) is framed in the natural resources management discipline. Community Development (CD) practice is framed in public participation and city planning disciplines. Creative Placemaking (CP) practice is framed in the public art discipline. These disciplines point to the intent to transform existing culture with the goal of becoming more democratic, socially just, transparent, and inclusive. Through the analysis of project management traits, key components are identified for successful project implementation with the goal of resulting in healthy and vibrant communities.

Full textAbstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) strives to embody U.S. democratic ideals, conserving our collective stories and scenery for their intrinsic value and the enjoyment of current and future generations. However, although these places are conserved for all, they are not enjoyed by all. As with other conservation agencies, the NPS finds itself increasingly concerned with building relevance with diverse potential stewards. In cities, where 80% of the U.S. population and 40% of the NPS portfolio is based, there is a prime opportunity to build relevance with large, diverse, and proximate audiences. Recognizing this opportunity, the NPS initiated its Urban Agenda as a centerpiece of its 2016 centennial. The Urban Agenda seeks to connect people with proximate NPS parks and programs, primarily by using collaborations as pathways to relevance. In doing so, the agency may become a more resilient and value-added component of these larger landscapes. However, connections between relevance, resilience, and collaborations, especially at the organizational level, have rarely been addressed.
This dissertation: 1) identifies perspectives on NPS relevance in the urban context; 2) examines the diversity of brokers and roles in facilitating relevance across collaborative networks; and 3) assesses areas of intra-NPS relationship-building for enhanced relevance. A multi-site, multi-methods evaluation was conducted. Detroit, Tucson, and Boston, all cities with Urban Agenda investment but representing different proximities to physical NPS parks, were selected as cases. Qualitative in-depth interviews with NPS staff and community partners were paired with quantitative social network analysis. The first phase of research identifies areas of commonality and difference among perceptions about relevance. Qualitative inquiry found that, across cities, NPS staff tended to conceptualize relevance in agency-focused ways while community partners conceptualized it on broader scales, both in audiences and goals. These differences in scale may be complementary, though, with the NPS further enhancing its relevance by recognizing the larger context and embedding its perspectives within this context. The second phase of research quantitatively examines collaborative network composition and potential, especially regarding network and broker diversity. Study results suggest that building the breadth and depth of a network, as well as targeting specific areas of desired growth, are ways to effectively build network resilience and further connections for relevance. The third phase of research examines relationships among parks, programs, and offices of the NPS. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this inquiry found that relationships between parks are most numerous and supported by institutional structures. However, connections to and within programs are a desired area for further connection. All relationship-building structures and language must emphasize the utility of internal connections for external relevance. Balancing relationship types while being inclusive of non-park groups may be essential in promoting organizational resilience and relevance. This evaluation contributes to theoretical understanding about and indicators of relevance and resilience. Together, results from these three phases of study can help the NPS understand specific relevance considerations in urban areas, efficiently use their resources to enhance relevance, and continue to strive toward our democratic ideals.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at identifying on a concrete example the possible transfer of methods from strategic spatial planning to lower scales of planning like urban programming or operational planning of construction sites. Strategic spatial planning is a participatory and open method establishing the basis for cooperation between public and private stakeholders to achieve what is defined by said stakeholders as the best evolution for the territory it is dealing with, it relies on tools and processes like territorial diagnosis, thematic workshops and roundtables; Objectives are more qualitatively than quantitatively defined to allow flexibility to adapt to internal and external changes. This paper considers the territory of Lyon conurbation, France, as its territory of focus and particularly the redevelopment project of its central business district and multimodal hub, Part-Dieu. The planning of Lyon conurbation was in the 80s at the vanguard of strategic planning in France. Driven by Lyon urban planning agency and Grand Lyon, the local authority in charge of the area, under the pressure of local economic actors, Lyon conurbation acquired and integrated new tools and methods from strategic spatial planning. The hypothesis of this study is that, from then on, strategic planning methods and processes got transferred from the field of pure strategic spatial planning to the lower notches of the decision-making chain leading to the realization of a project: the stage of the programming of a neighborhood – the Part-Dieu district – and the stage of the operational planning of a construction or redevelopment operation. This study puts forward the following reasoning to explain this transfer of methods: an acculturation process to the collaborative and qualitative methods of strategic spatial planning took place in the territory of Lyon conurbation. It happened between the corporate cultures of spatial planning and those of urban program design and construction operation management. However, more than a way to really involve all stakeholders in the decision-making process in a bottom-up approach, this study suggests that the use of these methods at the stage of construction/redevelopment operation management is more of a facade to make stakeholders better accept decisions already taken by experts and/or public authorities. One could talk about a top-down approach disguised as a bottom-up approach.

Local authorities exist to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of communities. Parks provide a means of achieving this purpose. This study investigates community preferences for Christchurch parks using the Beneficial Outcomes Approach. Outcomes desired by the community are identified, together with the park settings required to achieve them. Different attitudes and preferences of three socio-economic areas are compared. Information was gathered from a household survey of 600 residents from three diverse socioeconomic areas of Christchurch selected by using the New Zealand Deprivation Index. Results show that the overwhelming majority of Christchurch residents regularly use Christchurch parks for a diverse range of activities. Parks fill many different roles associated with the activity, aesthetic and environmental values ascribed to parks by the Christchurch community. The Christchurch community perceives and wants a diverse range of personal, social/cultural, environmental, and economic benefits from parks. Differences were found between the three socio-economic areas in the way they valued and used parks. Respondents from the low socio-economic area were more inclined to use parks as a special place to visit for weekend outings and relaxation in contrast to respondents from the high socio-economic area who were more likely to use parks for daily exercise. Respondents from the medium socio-economic area had mixed use patterns. The study concludes that a city-wide network approach to park provision is required to cater for the diverse range of experiences, settings and activities preferred by the Christchurch community and to optimise the beneficial outcomes of Christchurch parks. The BOA provides a useful method of prioritising outcomes and guiding management actions to be more responsive to community needs.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation traces the history of cattle grazing at Saguaro NP, Organ Pipe Cactus NM and Fort Bowie NHS in southern Arizona. This collection of studies examines the factors affecting that use, the ranchers who made their living from the landscape, and the federal land managers responsible for sustaining the natural and cultural resources.
A dominant industry on arid public lands since the Civil War, grazing was altered by a variety of influences: environmental and human-derived. Ranching communities developed from homesteading settlements. Success was determined by climate, topography, and natural resources; social and cultural pressures; economic events and political legislation; and later federal regulations and decisions.
The first agency to oversee grazing, USFS was under constant pressure to maximize short-term human benefits. The NPS Organic Act of 1916 mandated conservation of natural resources "by such means as will leave them unimpaired for future generations" and yet approved cattle grazing, an extractive use, under USFS management. Park managers were frustrated by grazing practices not under their control. Parks were at a cultural and social disadvantage. Residents and politicians often expressed displeasure at park reservations; communities feared that parks would interfere with local industries.
Park employees supervised visitors and developed recreation infrastructure; they came with little experience to manage livestock. Lack of funding for research, limited manpower, and political and administrative interference allowed cattle grazing to continue unregulated for decades altering vegetation and enhancing erosion. In the 1960s, changing values from the environmental movement, the waning power of the livestock industry, and the rise of activist scientists impelled NPS to act. Without monitoring data, NPS turned to legal opinions to terminate grazing.
Now grazing is regulated and carefully monitored. NPS is mandated to incorporate research results into management decisions. Older grazing permits are being retired, but land acquisitions for park additions add new management challenges. Purchasing permits offers a new but financially limited opportunity to protect sensitive lands. Grazing has ended at all three parks, yet ecological changes and historic structures remain. As cultural and administrative legacies, those remnants offer opportunities to interpret a significant regional tradition and an untold controversy.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Modern companies need to compete on a global level to obtain sufficient capital from investors. That is why it is becoming increasingly important for companies to concentrate particularly on fulfilling the expectations of the investment community. With this in mind, companies have begun to optimise their operational business processes in order to gain a greater degree of efficiency and in doing so greater security. This movement started in the early nineties with intensive Business Process Reengineering (BPR) exercises. A key enabler for increased efficiency through Business Process Reengineering was the infrastructure provided by the development of integrated software packages called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. BPR exercises are normally part and parcel of an ERP implementation project. After the implementation of an ERP system in any business, management will also be in a vastly better position to control the business operations through better information delivery. Most companies are still controlled and managed on the basis of historical financial figures such as profit. Traditional financial statements are increasingly being viewed with distrust due to the perceived ease with which they can be manipulated. As many investors value companies and their performance on the basis of expected "future free cash flows" (excess cash after investment in all positive NPV projects), many companies are now switching from profit-based management to the more comprehensive Value Based Management principles, that takes this into account. A key enabler of the Value Based Management approach is the development of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) that contains the measures whereby the business should be controlled and measured. With the BSC, a business strategy is translated into a strategic measurement system that focuses on more than just the traditional financial aspects by including measures in other areas of a business, such as customer satisfaction or internal efficiencies. In the BSC financial view the primary indicator of business success is Economic Value Created (EVe). Eve is a true indicator of shareholder wealth created and takes the cost of capital into account. EVC performance becomes the ultimate barometer of business success. Value Based Management companies that invested heavily in the implementation of ERP systems want a good return but normally don't know how best to achieve this. They are wondering how to best make use of the wealth of information that is suddenly at their disposal. In driving shareholder value they are faced by the following questions: • How to translate investor expectations into business strategy and how to link this strategy to day to day operations. • How to use the acquired ERP system in support of this Value Based Management approach to enable maximum return on the investment. In this study project a real South African company, XX Automotive (fictitious name), that recently implemented SAP R/3 as an ERP system is covered as an example to illustrate how these questions can be answered. In Part I, this study project begins by describing all the elements and basic principles of a Value Based Management System such as a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) with EVC as prime measure. Part II illustrates how the XX Automotive financial strategy is translated into a Balanced Scorecard with Economic Value Created (EVC) as main financial measure and how these defined measures were represented by SAP reports that were specifically developed for this purpose. The Balanced Scorecard represented by the SAP reports serves only as a one way measurement system. The next critical step is to determine how to influence the results. The information that populates the SAP reports in XX Automotive's Balanced Scorecard is generated all over the business by the end users in their respective departments. The influence on EVC through business actions by these individual units is discussed in depth as it provides the keys that illustrate how the value of EVC can be impacted positive or negatively by each. Giving individuals the power to influence EVC through incentive schemes is crucial for long term success. It is illustrated how improving EVC became the new business focus at XX Automotive and how each individual employee can visually see his role in influencing the outcome. Meeting the value-based "Expected EVC Improvement" targets will generate target level bonus payments. Each XX Automotive employee is encouraged to think and act like an owner because he is going to be paid like one.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Moderne maatskappye moet op globale skaal kompeteer vir genoegsame kapitaal vanaf beleggers. Daarom word dit al hoe meer belangrik vir maatskappye om te konsentreer daarop om aan die verwagtinge van die beleggers gemeenskap te voldoen. Met dit in gedagte, het maatskappye begin om hulle operasionele besigheidsprossesse te optimeer om sodoende 'n beter vlak van effektiwiteit te bereik en daardeur groter sekuriteit aangaande hul eie voorbestaan te verseker. Hierdie beweging het in die negentigerjare begin met intensiewe besigheidsherontwerp, die sogenaamde 'Business Process Reengineering' (BPR) oefeninge. 'n Belangrike katalisator vir verbeterde effektiwiteit deur BPR is die infrastruktuur wat voorsien is deur die ontwikkeling van geintegreerde besigheidssagtewarepakkette nl. 'Enterprise Resource Planning' (ERP) stelsels. Met 'n ERP implementeringsprojek word gewoonlik intensiewe BPR gedoen. Nadat 'n ERP pakket geimplimenteer is behoort bestuur ook in 'n baie beter posisie te wees om besigheidsoperasies te beheer deur die verbeterde inligting verkry uit die ERP sagteware. Dit word ook duidelik dat die meerderheid van maatskappye steeds beheer en bestuur word op die basis van historiese finansiële maatstawwe soos wins in die inkomstestaat. Weens die feit dat baie beleggers maatskappye waardeer op grond van hul sogenaamde "future free cash flows" (oorblywende kontant na investering in alle NPV positiewe projekte), skakel maatskappye oor van 'n winsgebaseerdebestuurstelsel na die meer omvattende' Value Based Management' stelsel, waarvan 'Economic Value Created' (EVC) die hoofkomponent is. 'n Belangrike skakel in die 'Value Based Management' initiatief is die ontwikkeling van 'n 'Balanced Scorecard', 'n bestuurskonsep waarin die maatstawwe opgesluit lê waarmee die besigheid beheer en bestuur moet word. 'Value Based Management' gedrewe maatskappye wat groot investerings gemaak het in die implementering van ERP sagteware wil 'n goeie opbrengs op die belegging hê maar weet gewoonlik nie wat die beste manier is om dit te doen nie. Hulle wonder hoe om die maksimum voordeel te trek uit die skatkis van besigheidsinligting wat skielik tot hulle beskikking is. In 'n strewe om beleggers waarde te verbeter kom hulle voor die volgende vraagstukke te staan: • Hoe om beleggers verwagtinge om te skakel in besigheids strategie en hoe om hierdie strategie te skakel met daaglikse besigheids operasies. • Hoe om die ERP stelsel te gebruik ter ondersteuning van die 'Value Based Management' prinsiep om die maksimum opbrengs op belegging te kry. In hierdie studieprojek word 'n Suid Afrikaanse maatskappy, XX Automotive (fiktiewe naam), gedek wat onlangs SAP R/3 as 'n ERP stelsel geimplimenteer het as 'n voorbeeld gebruik om te illustreer hoe hierdie vrae in die praktyk beantwoord kan word. In Deel I van hierdie studieprojek word al die elemente en basiese beginsels van die 'Value Based Management' sisteem bespreek. Deel II illustreer hoe die XX Automotive finansiële strategie omgesit is in 'n 'Balanced Scorecard' met Economic Value Created (EVC) as die hoof maatstaf en hoe al die finansiële maatstawwe in die Balanced Scorecard deur middel van SAP verslae, wat spesifiek vir hierdie doel ontwikkel is, weergegee word. Die 'Balanced Scorecard', soos voorgestel deur die verslae in SAP, vorm net 'n metings instrument. Wat van groter belang is, is om te bepaal hoe die resultate beinvloed kan word. Die bestuursinligting waaruit die SAP verslae in die XX Automotive 'Balanced Scorecard' bestaan word gevorm deur die besigheidseindgebruiker op die SAP stelsel elke keer wanneer 'n besigheidstransaksie uitgevoer word. Die invloed op EVC deur individuele besigheidseenhede word in diepte bespreek aangesien dit deurslaggewend is ter illustrasie van hoe die EVC waarde positief of negatief geraak word deur hul besigheids aksies. Om individue die mag te gee om die waarde van EVC te beinvloed deur middel van 'n aansporingstelsel is kritiek vir lang termyn sukses. Elke XX Automotive werknemer word aangespoor deur 'n bonus stelsel om soos 'n aandeelhouer op te tree aangesien hy soos een vergoed sal word.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since 1994 the world has been opening up for South Africa, leading to the consequent issue of globalisation of trade. Not only have many of the old political orders gone but also so too have many of the old trade groupings. With the coming of globalisation the days of limited competition are over and the new business environment is far more open and dynamic. Since the world and its commercial activities are different, a different organisation needs to be created, the traditional ones simply do not survive the new circumstances. The resurgent interest in developing executive talent has been stimulated in recent years by various events and a lot of wishful thinking. It was not lost on corporate America that the leadership styles that had seemed so effective in the twenty or so years after World War II were inadequate in a later, convulsive era characterized by global competition, deregulation, economic upheaval, technological revolution, the end of the Cold War and other developments that ended the seemingly halcyon days. Wherever one looked, it seemed, there was a shortage of leaders who could navigate the storms, and company after company, legend after legend, stumbled, floundered, and sometimes died altogether. Many factors determined the success and failure of corporate struggles, only one of which was the quality of leadership. But it did seem that the inability of many companies to adapt was abetted by inadequate leadership, and it was at least plausible to assume that a different kind of leader was needed. Wisely or not, in times of crisis we want leaders to take charge, then we hold them perhaps more responsible for events, good and bad, than is actually merited. The massive dislocations of the last thirty years, driven by deregulation, globalisation, and competitive pressures, led to a widely perceived shortage of leaders who had the skills to handle change effectively. lscor embarked on a process of re-engineering (Project Apollo) towards the end of 1997, primarily to identify and redesign the core processes to enable Iscor to become a competitive player in the international markets. During the reengineering project various project teams worked on various core processes. Succession Planning referred to as Organisational Planning in this project, was one of the Human Resources (HR) core processes. The design was completed during 1998 and the implementation has now been in progress for a period of one year. The focus of this study project is to document the implementation of the model and the problems experienced while implementing a theoretical model as a case study.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die wêreld het vanaf 1994 oopgegaan vir Suid Afika wat daartoe gelei het dat Suid Afrika deel geword het van die wêreld handel. Die vorige politieke dispensasie en sekere handels blokke bestaan nie meer nie. Met die koms van wêreld handel is daar nie meer beperkte kompetisie nie en is die nuwe besigheidsomgewing baie meer oop en dinamies. Omdat die wêreld en die handelsomgewing verander het, moet 'n nuwe organisasie geskep word. Die tradisionele organisasie sal nie oorleef in die nuwe omstandighede nie. Die hernude belangstelling in die ontwikkeling van bestuurstalent is gestimuleer deur verskeie gebeure en 'n klomp denkbeeldige denke. Korporatiewe Amerika het besef dat die leierskapstyle wat so effektief was in die twintig of so jaar na die tweede wêreld oorlog, nie meer so relevant is in die huidige era wat gekenmerk word deur internasionale kompetisie, deregulasie, ekonomiese opbou, tegnologiese revolusie, die einde van die koue oorlog en ander ontwikkelings wat 'n einde gebring het aan die goeie ou dae. Waar 'n mens ook al kyk is daar 'n tekort aan leiers wat die pad kan vind deur die storms en organisasie na organisasie, legende na legende het gekwyn, gestruikel en partykeer heeltemal verdwyn. Daar is baie faktore wat die sukses of mislukking van organisasies bepaal, waarvan slegs een die kwaliteit van leierskap is. Dit wil egter voorkom of die onvermoë van organisasies om aan te pas tot 'n mate veroorsaak is deur onvoldoende leierskap en is dit logies om aan te neem dat 'n ander tipe leier nodig is. Wyslik of nie, in tye van krisisse wil ons hê dat leiers moet beheer neem en hou ons hulle somtyds vir meer verantwoordelik as wat regverdig is. Die massiewe hestruktuerings die afgelope dertig jaar wat gedryf is deur deregulasie, globalisering en kompeterende druk het gelei tot 'n wyd waargenome tekort aan leiers wat die vaardighede het om verandering effektief te hanteer. Iscor het teen die einde van 1997 begin met 'n proses van herstruktuering (Projek Apollo) ten einde die kern prosesse te identifiseer wat lscor in staat sal stel om kompeterend in die internasionale markte te wees. Gedurende hierdie herstruktuerings proses het daar verskeie spanne gewerk aan die verskillende kern prosesse. Opvolgbeplanning, wat bekend staan as Organsisasie Beplanning in hierdie projek, was een van menslike hulpbronne se kern prosesse. Die ontwerp was voltooi gedurende 1998 en die implementasie is nou in proses vir een jaar. Die fokus van hierdie studie projek is om die implementering van hierdie model asook die probleme wat ondervind word met die implementering van 'n teoretiese model te dokumenteer in 'n gevalle studie.

O planejamento deficiente e a falta de envolvimento do proprietário na execução do planejamento são causas críticas dos atrasos e estouros de orçamento que caracterizam a fase de obras dos empreendimentos públicos de construção de edificações. No entanto, como a execução do planejamento nos órgãos públicos afeta os resultados de prazos e custos da fase de obras é uma questão não esclarecida. Neste contexto, este trabalho discute a execução dos processos de planejamento de empreendimentos da Cia Paulista de Obras e Serviços, uma empresa de economia mista do Governo do Estado de São Paulo, que gerenciou 398 empreendimentos públicos de construção de 1992 a 1999. O enfoque é sobre os efeitos do planejamento nos resultados da fase de obras em relação a prazo e custo. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas com gerentes de empreendimento e fiscais de obras; através de consulta a arquivos eletrônicos e documentos; e pela observação direta do pesquisador no período de 1995 a 1999. O resultados obtidos apontam que os prazos e custos são afetados pela deficiência da estrutura analítica na descrição do escopo; pelas estimativas de prazo e custo deficientes que mascaram os resultados; pelos editais com deficiências; pelas programações e orçamentações simplificadas e não integradas; pelas deficiências no planejamento organizacional e comunicação que atrasam as tomadas de decisão; por um planejamento de qualidade focado no produto; e pela ausência de planejamento de risco. Ao final são propostas algumas recomendações às organizações públicas para melhorar o planejamento de seus empreendimentos de construçãoPoor planning and lack of owner envolvement in the execution of the planning are critical causes of the delays and cost overruns that characterize the phase of civil works of the public construction projects. However, how public agencies planning execution affects the time and cost results of the phase of civil works is a question not clarified. In this context, this work discuss the execution of the project planning processes of Cia Paulista de Obras e Serviços, a state owned company of the São Paulo State Government, which managed 398 public construction projects from 1992 to 1999. The approach is on the effect of the planning in the results of the phase of civil works in relation to time and cost. The data were collected through interviews with project managers and inspectors of civil works; through consultation in electronic archives and documents; and through direct researchers observation in the period from 1995 to 1999. The results achieved point that time and cost are affected by poor work breakdown structures in the description of the project scope; by poor time and cost estimates that disguise the results; by poor procurement documents; by simplified and not integrated scheduling and budgeting; by deficiencies in the organizacional planning and communication that delay decisions taking; by a planning of quality focused in the product; and by absence of risk planning. At the end, some recommendations to the public organizations are proposed to improve the planning of their construction projects.

Full textAbstract:
Stakeholder involvement in securing service standards, priorities and effectiveness was made a requirement of the Local Government Act 1999, England and Wales. This legislation built upon the 1998 White Paper, Modern Local Government in Touch with the People which formed part of the incoming 1997 Labour government's key principles as described in the Labour Party's 1997 Manifesto. This agenda replaced the implicit 'lowest price principle' of the Compulsory Competitive Tendering (CCT) legislation of the outgoing Conservative administration. Stakeholder theory and practice is central to this change agenda. Furthermore, it was applied to public service management without adaptation to the complexity and nature of the governance of local authorities. This research examines 3 case studies of local authorities to explore whether and how the implementation and impact of the necessity for local authorities to identify, consult with and involve stakeholders in setting standards has been enacted. It considers the impact of these requirements on stakeholder theory, stakeholders, political and managerial relationships. The literature review critiques stakeholder theory as described by Freeman (1984) and particular aspects of stakeholder management: engagement (Arnstein, 1969); salience (Mitchell, Agle and Wood, 1997); normative and instrumental behaviours (Donaldson and Preston, 1995); and moral enlightenment (Kohlberg, 1981). Government agencies explicitly or implicitly advocated those constructs for their usefulness when planning for and consulting stakeholders. The conclusion is that stakeholder theory as described is insensitive to the complexity of local authorities' political, managerial and stakeholders' agendas. Furthermore, that it requires further development to ensure that it is relevant to the nature and the style of local authorities' responsibilities. It establishes that the distinction between consulting and engaging with stakeholders is fraught with confusion. Finally, the relationship between power, legitimacy and urgency of stakeholder claims results in political and managerial pragmatism and is consistent with those aspects of stakeholder theory described by Mitchell, Agle and Wood, (1997). This research identified issues of managerial concern. Of particular importance is the different use and understanding of language by stakeholders, managers and politicians. This is an under-reported aspect of Freeman (1984). Furthermore, the contribution of unrepresentative stakeholders in shaping council policy challenges the democratic process and is of concern to senior managers and politicians. This in turn undermines the requirement for stakeholder inclusiveness and involvement. Finally, it is established that policy at the point of implementation is often a result of local contextual adaptation, 'bricolage', on the part of the manager. The research makes a distinct contribution by identifying 'how' and 'why' stakeholder theory is too insensitive for direct useful application to local authorities. It finds that policy advice from government agencies concerning stakeholder consultation for best value has mostly been ignored, although many themes identified in the theory and advice were identified in the data collected. Finally, this research has provided the first empirical data on this subject and increases understanding of 'how' and 'why' stakeholder consultation has been undertaken in the parks and greenspace sector. In so doing, it contributes to an understanding of practice in action and the amending of behaviour that constitute implementation of strategic stakeholder theory and managerial policy, thereby creating an agenda for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Uma grande quantidade de dados é produzida diariamente por operações comerciais e financeiras, mídias sociais e dispositivos móveis, sensores e outros equipamentos inseridos no mundo físico. Este fenômeno deu origem ao termo big data, e seus efeitos podem ser percebidos por empresas, ciência e governo. Entretanto, é a inteligência estratégica, não a informação, que auxilia gerentes a extrair valor dos grandes volumes de dados. Para isto, é necessário transformar a informação dispersa no ambiente em conhecimento estruturado e útil à tomada de decisão nas organizações. Este é um processo complexo, pois apesar das ferramentas e técnicas disponíveis é indispensável que o profissional em inteligência saiba lidar com a complexidade cognitiva inerente ao processo de análise. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de examinar como o fenômeno big data afeta o processo de análise na atividade de inteligência estratégica. A pesquisa tratou de como o fenômeno big data é percebido pelos entrevistados em suas atividades analíticas em inteligência estratégica e propôs uma análise acerca de suas implicações. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo exploratório qualitativo. Foram entrevistados profissionais brasileiros, residentes nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Distrito Federal e São Paulo. Estes entrevistados foram selecionados por meio de agentes com atuação, conhecimento e trânsito nos campos de inteligência estratégica e/ou big data. O roteiro que serviu de base para estas entrevistas foi estruturado a partir das dimensões do fenômeno big data e seus efeitos nas atividades analíticas no processo de inteligência estratégica. A técnica utilizada para análise dos dados foi análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que o volume de big data contribui para a compreensão dos métodos de coleta, entretanto prejudica o domínio da matéria. Outras descobertas revelam que para alguns entrevistados big data já integra as práticas profissionais na realização de análises mais elaboradas e no desenvolvimento de projetos específicos. Entretanto para outros, big data ainda não é uma realidade, não sendo percebida a necessidade de utilizar grandes volumes de dados nas análises. Este fato também denota um paradoxo entre a caracterização da produção de conhecimento no campo do big data e o seu uso no campo profissional de inteligência estratégica. Por um lado o maior volume de trabalhos sobre o big data está no campo profissional das organizações produtivas e não na academia e por outro os profissionais em inteligência ainda não percebem o valor do fenômeno para sua atuação profissional.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-07-14T16:45:52Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Priscila Nesello.pdf: 453125 bytes, checksum: 3e65516684c242236ed38829114d775e (MD5)

A considerable amount of data is daily produced by business and financial operations, social media, mobile devices, sensors as well as other gadgets available in the world. This phenomenon gave rise to the big data term whose effects can be perceived by companies, science and governments. However, the strategic intelligence, not the information itself, supports managers eliciting values from big volume of data. For this purpose, transforming the dispersed information in the environment into structure knowledge is necessary and useful for organizations’ decisions. This is a complex process, and despite the tools and available techniques, it is indispensable that the professional in intelligence knows how to deal with inherit cognitive complexity in the courses of analyses. In this context, the objective of the present work was examining how the phenomenon big data affected the course of analyses in the strategic intelligence activity. The research was addressed on how the phenomenon big data was perceived by the interviewers in their analytics activities in strategic intelligence. It also proposed analysis based on its implications. In order to achieve this, a qualitative exploratory study was conducted. Several Brazilian professionals were interviewed, including residents in states such as Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Distrito Federal and São Paulo. Those interviewed were chosen by agents with experience and knowledge in the strategic intelligence field and/or big data. The guide used for the interviews was structured from dimensions of big data phenomenon and its effects on the course of analyses in the strategic intelligence activity. The technique used for analyzing data was through content review. Results indicate that the volume of big data contributes to the comprehension of collection methods even though it eventually might debilitate the ability to grasp the topic. Other discoveries show that for some of those interviewed, big data has already integrated professional practices on not only performing a more detailed analyses but also developing specific projects. Nevertheless, big data is not a reality yet for others since the necessity of utilizing big volume of data for analysis is not really being perceived. This fact also denotes a paradox between the characterization of production knowledge within big data field and its use in the professional area of strategic intelligence. On the one hand, the great workload about big data is located in the professional area of productive organizations. Not in the academy, though. After all, intelligence professionals have not realized yet the real value of big data phenomenon for their professional performance.

Full textAbstract:
Urban green spaces are put under high pressure due to increasing population density in cities. This problem will potentially accelerate where the densification in the cities continues. Consequently, this sets high requirements on the management, if the green spaces are to generate the benefits and values that are associated with greens spaces as urban parks. One way to increase these benefits and values could be to incorporate ecosystem services and indicators for ecosystem services in a multi-stakeholder management system. Is it possible that ecosystem service indicators could facilitate collaboration between stakeholders and thus improve the value of urban green space? This master thesis aimed to identify ecosystem service indicators for a green space and incorporate them in a multi-stakeholder management system. The study was made to clarify if indicators can facilitate collaboration between stakeholders and thus improve the management of an urban green space. In order to achieve that, the first step was to let the stakeholders express what they desired the green space to generate in terms of benefits and values. These expressed benefits and values were formulated into target variables which were linked with the ecosystem services that the green space was assessed to generate if the target variables are achieved. A literature study was conducted to identify applicable indicators for the chosen ecosystem services. These indicators were quantified and incorporated into an already existing management system. This management system performed as a framework and a fundament which was further developed to incorporate more functions as indicators and ecosystem services. The thesis resulted in two identified indicators for ten ecosystem services and the development of a multi-stakeholder management system. Identified indicators were birds and compliant seating. Birds were identified as an indicator because they indicated many of the same ecosystem services as the ones that are generated in the green space. These ecosystem services are linked with the benefits and values that are associated with the target variables. In addition, the birds were chosen because they were possible to quantify. Compliant seating was the second indicator, and it has the potential to function as a control indicator as it can be seen as a manifestation of the cultural ecosystem services generated at the green space. A multi-stakeholder management system was developed with the incorporation of indicators for ecosystem services. The developed management system aimed to facilitate the collaboration between stakeholders with the use of ecosystem service indicators. Taken together, the findings suggest a role for ecosystem service indicators in multi-stakeholder management plans to improve the value of green spaces.Grönytor i städer är satt under hög press på grund av ökande befolkningstäthet vilket leder till att fler människor behöver dela på samma mängd urban grönyta. Detta fenomen ökar kraven på förvaltningen av grönytor då de behöver generera fler nyttigheter och mera värde. Ett sätt att öka dessa värden skulle kunna vara att använda sig av indikatorer för ekosystemtjänster inom ett förvaltningssystem där flera förvaltare verkar. Är det möjligt att indikatorer för ekosystemtjänster kan underlätta samarbetet mellan olika förvaltare och därigenom öka värdet av en grönyta? Den här masteruppsatsen hade målet att identifiera indikatorer för ekosystemtjänster genererade av en grönyta och sedan inkorporera dem i en förvaltningsmetod som ökar samverkan mellan förvaltare. Studien syftade till att tydliggöra om användandet av ekosystemtjänstindikatorer kan underlätta samarbetet av mellan olika förvaltare för att förbättra förvaltningen av en grönyta. Det första steget för att åstadkomma detta var att låta förvaltarna uttrycka vilka värden och nyttigheter de vill att grönytan skulle skapa. Dessa värden och nyttigheter formulerades som målvariabler vilka länkades till de ekosystemtjänster som grönytan bedömdes generera. Genom en litteraturstudie identifierades indikatorer som kunde indikera de ekosystemtjänster som genererades vid grönytan. Indikatorerna kvantifierades och inkorporerades in i ett redan existerande förvaltningssystem. Studien resulterade i två identifierade indikatorer och i utvecklandet av ett förvaltningssystem som underlättar samverkan genom användandet av indikatorer. Fåglar identifierade som en indikator på grund av att fåglar indikerade samma ekosystemtjänster som genereras på grönytan. Fåglar valdes också för att det var möjligt att kvantifiera fåglarna vid grönytan. Villkorlig sittplats var den andra indikatorn och den har möjligheten att fungera som en kontrollindikator eftersom den kan beskrivas som en manifestation av de ekosystemtjänster som genereras på grönytan. Sedan så utvecklas även ett förvaltningssystem där indikatorerna inkorporerades. Förvaltningssystemet hade målet att underlätta samverkan mellan de olika förvaltarna med hjälp av indikatorerna. Sammanfattningsvis så bedöms det att indikatorer för ekosystemtjänster har potentialen att användas i ett förvaltningssystem och därigenom kunna bidra till att öka värdet av grönytan.

Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaIn the current era is a reality that the green spaces have a very important role in urban areas due to their ecological, social, economic and aesthetic functions: they reduce the harmful effects of the city environment, promote social relationships, by facilitating sports and entertainment, value and mitigate the impact of infrastructures. It is essential that green spaces promote a sustainable development, regardless of their characteristics and dimensions, even in the design phase. In order to achieve a proper planning and management of green spaces, it was necessary to classify the types of urban green spaces considering their diversity of uses and function in urban areas. This is the aim of this work, applied to the region of Oeiras and São Julião da Barra, trying to optimize resources and funds available in the Oeiras City Council. To obtain concrete results we used the model developed by the World Sustainability Society, which reveals how rationalization of resources translates into a more economic management and also more sustainable. This is an innovative model, constantly developing, which, among others, consents to compare different situations and to provide guidelines that allow optimizing the planning and management of green spaces.

O trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para o planejamento empresarial do serviço de transporte urbano por ônibus. A metodologia foi concebida a partir de três pontos: a fundamentação metodológica, a revisão bibliográfica e a aplicação de uma técnica de análise de múltiplos critérios de apoio à tomada de decisão. A fundamentação metodológica do trabalho está no entendimento de que as variáveis relacionadas com a cultura, com a sociedade e com o poder político e econômico têm uma forte influência no processo de planejamento. Portanto, precisam ser consideradas na definição do produto completo da empresa, na gama de serviços a ser ofertado, na configuração da empresa e de suporte externo da oferta dos serviços e de insumos de produção. O desempenho empresarial é avaliado pela forma de gestão implementada na organização. A revisão bibliográfica permitiu selecionar e sistematizar os critérios de apoio à tomada de decisão e as alternativas para estruturar o planejamento, contemplando a organização interna, a avaliação e regulamentação do mercado de serviço do transporte urbano por ônibus. O método de múltiplos critérios de apoio à tomada de decisão adotado foi o Analytic Hierarchy Process - AHP. Sua aplicação prioriza, em escala de importância, os critérios adotados de apoio à tomada de decisão e as alternativas de atuação contendo ações a serem implementadas para consolidar o planejamento empresarial. A metodologia permite ao empresário de transporte urbano por ônibus adotar um procedimento sistemático para consolidar o planejamento empresarial como um processo contínuo de gestão e de avaliação de resultados, ponderando inclusive as restrições de atuar em um mercado regulamentado.The work presents a methodology for the managment planning of the urban bus passenger transportation service. The methodology was conceived three starting points: the methodological basis, a bibliographical review and the implementation of an analysis technique of different support criteria for decision making. The methodological basis of the work assumes that the variables related to the culture, society and to the political and economical power have a strong influence upon the planning process. Therefore, they must be taken into account when defining the total product of the enterprise, the range of services offered, the format of the enterprise and the external support of production services and assets available. The enterprise performance is evaluated by the type of management implemented in the organization. The bibliographical review allowed the selection and systematization of supporting criteria in decision making as well as the alternatives to structure the planning, taking into consideration the internal organization, the evaluation and regulation of the market in relation to urban bus transportation services. The different criteria of support to decision making adopted was the Analytic Hierarchy Process - AHP. Its application, by priority, is in order of importance, the criteria adopted and the alternatives of performance containing actions to be implemented in order to consolidate the planning process. The methodology allows the entrepreneur to use the enterprise planning as a continuous process of performance and of evaluation of results, including considerations on restrictions of performance in a regulated market.

Full textAbstract:
Implementing Aquatic Animal Health Management programs is of crucial importance to any country meaning to achieve and maintain the development and sustainability of their aquaculture sector. The initial approach to implementing an efficient Aquatic Animal Health Management program in Sri Lanka will rely on the development of two of its key components, namely aquatic animal disease surveillance, monitoring and reporting and the enhanced coordinated response to aquatic animal disease emergencies. The drafted framework for these two components was built upon the results from surveyed and consulted laboratories and institutions involved in aquatic animal health diagnostics and through two stakeholder meetings in order to achieve general consensus for the proposed components, focusing on maximizing the existing resources for cost efficiency. Initial drafting of a list of diseases of concern to Sri Lanka, concentrating on the diseases affecting major finfish and crustacean cultured species, and the proposed framework for a coordinated, joint approach to aquatic animal disease surveillance, monitoring and reporting will help to describe the aquatic animal disease profile in Sri Lanka, fulfilling international OIE reporting obligations while attempting to determine disease free status and the defining disease free zones, and inclusively ensure the early detection of new exotic diseases. The information generated through the surveillance program will also support applied risk analysis and improved quarantine for imported aquatic animals. Establishing a database for reporting diagnostic findings from surveillance and monitoring, along with the reporting of other routine and quarantine diagnostic findings, is crucial for up-to-date description of the countries aquatic animal disease profile and for the early detection of an aquatic animal disease emergency. Improving the existing arrangements for intervening in an aquatic animal disease emergency is fundamental for successful disease control or eradication, achieved through a much needed here proposed contingency plan for a coordinated response on behalf of the countries institutions and laboratories managing and diagnosing aquatic animal diseases, supervised by a Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources appointed committee of aquatic animal health specialists; Resumo: A implementação de programas de gestão de sanidade de animais aquáticos é fundamental para qualquer pais que queira atingir e manter o desenvolvimento sustentável do sector da produção aquícola de animais aquáticos. A implementação de um programa de gestão de sanidade de animais aquáticos no Sri Lanka deve se apoiar no desenvolvimento inicial de dois componentes fundamentais do mesmo, nomeadamente a “Vigilância, Monitorização e Notificação” de doenças em animais aquáticos e a resposta optimizada a situações urgentes de doença nestas populações seguindo as directrizes estabelecidas num “Plano de Contingência”. A estrutura geral para a implementação destes dois componentes é aqui apresentada nesta dissertação de natureza científica, baseada na informação recolhida através da consulta e avaliação dos laboratórios e instituições envolvidas no diagnóstico de patologias afectando os animais aquáticos e através da realização de duas reuniões com os seus membros mais relevantes. Desta forma pretende-se maximizar os recursos existentes para a implementação destes componentes com o consenso de todos os futuros participantes.
O programa de vigilância de sanidade em animais aquáticos terá como objectivo declarar a ausência de doença a nível nacional para um grupo de doenças e, deste modo motivar a exportação de animais aquáticos e seus produtos ou, permitir o identificar de infecções outrora desconhecidas. Desta forma, consegue-se uma descrição mais precisa do estado de saúde das populações de animais aquáticos no país sendo possível declarar a presença ou ausência de doença às autoridades internacionais da Organização Internacional de Saúde Animal- OIE. Para as doenças já estabelecidas nas populações de animais aquáticos, o componente “Vigilância, Monitorização e Notificação” determina que sejam reconhecidas zonas livres de doença para promover a translocação segura de animais a nível nacional e internacional. Inicialmente, redigiu-se uma lista de doenças importantes para o país, passíveis de afectar as espécies de crustáceos e peixes, de acordo com os registos de notificações submetidos à OIE e através da informação recolhida pela consulta local de peritos em sanidade de animais aquáticos. Desta lista foram seleccionadas as doenças para intervenção inicial, com base no potencial impacto da sua incursão nas populações produzidas em aquacultura de crustáceos e peixes, ou que, no caso de estabelecidas no país, possam causar surtos de doença e graves perdas de produção. De seguida, atribuíram-se áreas geográficas a cada laboratório que participará no programa de vigilância, por província e de acordo com a sua proximidade geográfica.
A informação gerada pelo programa de vigilância deve ser reportada numa base de dados que servirá igualmente para a notificação de achados de diagnósticos rotineiros ou resultantes das actividades de quarentena. Através desta base de dados é mantido um perfil actualizado do estado de saúde das populações de animais aquáticos, sendo também possível por este meio a identificação e intervenção atempada de situações de doença que requeiram intervenção urgente. A informação gerada pelo programa de vigilância servirá também para a implementação de um programa de análise de risco para as importações de animais aquáticos e seus produtos e o melhoramento das práticas de quarentena.
É fundamental para o Sri Lanka melhorar a resposta actual, face à ocorrência de surtos de doença nas populações de animais aquáticos, para garantir o sucesso destas intervenções. Tal pode ser realizado através da formulação de um plano de contingência que, baseado nos procedimentos actualmente legislados, venha a assegurar uma resposta coordenada entre os diferentes laboratórios, com base em metodologias determinadas no programa de vigilância e a assistência de uma Comissão de Consulta para a Gestão da Sanidade em Animais Aquáticos.

Resumo: O Planejamento de Vendas e Operações é um processo integrado de gerenciamento do negócio, que pode gerar vantagem competitiva através de uma visão e entendimento do cenário futuro e do envolvimento de um time multifuncional para definir e executar um conjunto de planos operacionais alinhados de modo a maximizar os resultados do negócio e melhor atender os clientes. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma metodologia que suporte a implementação de um Processo de Planejamento de Vendas e Operações e testá-la através de sua aplicação prática numa Divisão de Negócios que atende o mercado de consumo a partir de uma manufatura de produção para estoque. Identifica os fatores relevantes para uma implementação de sucesso, abordando os três elementos básicos do S&OP: i) Pessoas - Uma vez que o processo é gerenciado e operacionalizado por pessoas, estas precisam estar conscientes, treinadas, além de entender o que se espera delas. Precisam, também, operar o processo em conformidade com os princípios aprovados, políticas e procedimentos; ii) Processo - Um processo precisa estar formalizado, com etapas, entradas, saídas, definição de responsabilidades e de medidas de desempenho; iii) Ferramentas - Devem estar disponíveis para suportar as pessoas na execução de suas atividades. Podem incluir hardware, software, manuais e sistemas de comunicação. O trabalho aborda, também, os potenciais benefícios de um processo eficaz de S&OP, bem como suas limitações, demonstrando a melhoria do trabalho em equipe, do serviço aos clientes e da gestão de ativos, obtidos pela implementação do processo na Divisão de Negócio analisada

Mini-study project (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The rise of the health and fitness club, Health and Racquet Club, in the late eighties was spectacular and it came as no surprise that the company was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1994. The two founder members, Peter Gardener and Robert Mitchell listed a company within a short period of time and were not afraid to change their strategy and expand their operations into other sectors of the leisure industry in 1995. In the late nineties, after restructuring the subsidiaries of the group, management started to look at foreign markets for expansion of the core business, namely the Health and Racquet Clubs. The group's foreign expansion accumulated a vast amount of debt on its balance sheet and in retrospect was seen as one of the main reasons for its collapse. The company was placed under liquidation in the end of the 2000 financial year. This study will evaluate the different strategies management followed, and will identify some key strategic mistakes that was made and that led to the downfall of a seemingly financially strong organization that offered above average returns to it's stakeholders. It also aims to show that a business strategy has to rely on strong corporate governance and that the last say always lies with the stakeholders within that company.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gesondheids- en fiksheidsklub, die Health and Racquet Club, het in die laat tagtigerjare ongelooflike opgang gemaak, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot notering op die Johannesburgse Effektebeurs in 1994. Die twee stigterslede, Peter Gardener en Robert Mitchell, het die maatskappy binne 'n kort tyd genoteer, en het nie gehuiwer om hulle strategie te verander en in 1995 hulle bedrywighede uit te brei na ander sektore in die ontspanningsindustrie nie. In die laat negentigerjare, nadat die filiale van die groep geherstruktureer is, het die bestuur oorsese markte begin ondersoek met die oog op uitbreiding van die kernbesigheid, naamlik die Health and Racquet Clubs. Die groep se uitbreidingsaksie het groot skuld tot gevolg gehad - een van die hoofredes vir die ineenstorting. Die maatskappy is aan die einde van die 2000 finansiële jaar gelikwideer. Hierdie studie evalueer die verskillende strategieë wat die bestuur gevolg het, en identifiseer die belangrikste strategiese foute wat gemaak is en wat gelei het tot die ineenstorting van 'n maatskappy wat oënskynlik finansieel sterk was en bogemiddelde opbrengste aan die aandeelhouers besorg het. Die studie poog ook om aan te toon dat 'n besigheidstrategie gebaseer moet wees op stewige korporatiewe beheer en dat die laaste sê altyd by die aandeelhouers van die maatskappy lê.

Resumo: Os projetos globais de desenvolvimento de produto, em específico, na indústria automobilística, caracterizam-se pela importância, cada vez maior, de novos lançamentos, embora grandes desenvolvimentos tenham ocorridos nos últimos anos quanto a métodos, técnicas, modelos e ferramentas relacionadas ao gerenciamento de projetos. Pesquisas recentes constatam que a comunicação pode ser responsável pelo fracasso de projetos e ocupa a primeira posição dos problemas mais citados, pelas empresas brasileiras, no que tange ao gerenciamento de projetos devido à falta de comunicação, ou à inadequação da mesma; e torna-se mais complexa no contexto de projetos globais, em que fatores como distância geográfica, diferenças de cultura, diferenças organizacionais e de procedimentos operacionais impactam diretamente na comunicação. Gerenciar a comunicação é um processo tão importante quanto qualquer outro nas empresas. Índices apontam que os gerentes gastam a maior parte do seu tempo com a comunicação, ou problemas decorrentes deste nos projetos. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo elaborar um modelo de plano de gestão da comunicação em projetos globais, de modo a reduzir as dificuldades constadas na gestão de tais projetos. Para tanto, tem-se como base o planejamento da comunicação como fator estratégico para o sucesso no desenvolvimento de projetos globais, o estudo foi baseado em pesquisa, revisão bibliográfica e casos de projetos, desse modo, apontando. o planejamento da comunicação como uma competência estratégica para o sucesso no desenvolvimento de todas as atividades que permeiam o processo de gerenciamento de projetos, em particular, aqueles de natureza global
Abstract: Global projects for product development, specifically in the automotive industry, have important characteristics such as the increase of new releases. While many advancements have occurred in recent years with methods, techniques, frameworks, and tools related to project management, recent surveys find that communication is the lead driver responsible for project failure. Communication occupies the top ranking position for problems mentioned by Brazilian companies in regards to lack of communication, or its inadequacy, with project management. The following factors; geographic distance, cultural differences, differences in organizational and operational procedures, all have direct impact on communication and contribute to the complexity relative of global projects. Communication management is a process as important as any other in the business process. Indices indicate that managers spend most of their time with communication, or problems arise in these projects. This study aims to develop a model for communication management planning in global projects, in order to reduce the difficulties observed in the management of such projects. Equally communication planning has to be based on strategic factors for success in global management projects. The research studies based on literature review and project cases indicate that communication planning be a strategic competency for the successful development in all activities occurring within project management

Full textAbstract:
O Brasil já acumula certa experiência em termos de planejamento urbano. Um expressivo número de cidades, de todos os portes, elabora planos e implementa ações que, de maneira explícita ou não, visam planejar a realidade urbana local. Entretanto, de uma parte, tais planos e ações apresentam enorme diversidade e, de outra, em cada um deles o planejamento urbano tem sido objeto de interpretações conceituais divergentes. Do ponto de vista da pesquisa, os problemas conceituais que envolvem a noção de planejamento urbano em nosso país, bem como a identificação e crítica das práticas a ele associadas, têm sido abordados quase sempre a partir do estudo de experiências realizadas em cidades grandes e médias. O foco deste trabalho é compreender como esta problemática se apresenta em pequenas cidades, através da análise da experiência de quadro municipalidades do sul do Brasil, localizadas na região do Vale do Jaguari.The theme of this dissertation is the practice of planning in small towns. Brazil has accumulated some experience in terms of urban planning. A significant number of cities, large, medium or small, develops and implements action plans that, explicitly or not, are to local urban planning reality. However, it appears that such plans and actions are diverse, and also that the very notion of urban planning has been subject to different conceptual interpretations. The conceptual problems surrounding the notion of urban planning in our country, as well as the identification and critique of the practices associated with it, have been approached mainly from the study of experiences in large and medium cities. The focus of this work is to understand how this problem arises in our small towns.
