Fröding, Karin. "Public health, neighbourhood development and participation : research and practice in four Swedish partnership cities." Doctoral thesis, Örebro universitet, Hälsoakademin, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:oru:diva-15013.
Full textEfforts to combat the widespread health disparities are an important challenge in public health and health promotion. A partnership between four Swedish cities was constituted to face this challenge. Within the context of that partnership, the overall aim of this thesis is to study public health strategies and local development work in municipalities and neighbourhoods, with a special emphasis on residents’ participation. Study I analyses strategic public health work, neighbourhood development, and the early implementation phase of the partnership. Interviews, participant observation, and documents were used as data sources. The study shows that a partnership for local public health work can serve as a connecting link for development and learning among stakeholders involved. Formal structures and national support are crucial preconditions for success in neighbourhood development. Study II analyses what characterizes people who participate in neighbourhood development. A cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,160 participants from three of the partnership cities was analysed. Citizens who had previous experience of trying to influence policy in the municipality in some way were more likely to be active in neighbourhood development than those who had no such prior experience. Study III analyses a community-academic partnership and a communitybased participatory research process through participant observation. It shows that a community-academic partnership requires an open, equal dialogue, an accepting attitude toward different levels of participation, and a lengthy period of time. Study IV uses a case-study database to analyse the development processes for achieving sustainable structures in neighbourhood development in the four partnership cities. A partnership has the potential to allocate resources on a area-based level, but in this case few resources remained when the partnership ended.

Full textA detailed archeology is conducted of Pearson's own internationalism regarding science and technology, foreign policy, development assistance, environment and culture. Our analysis shows how Pearson's thinking, and that of colleagues who were to have key influences on the Centre, Barbara Ward and Maurice Strong, were embedded in deeply held beliefs and values. We identify a tension between an internationalist impulses and Canadian-centered or parochial pre-occupations common in most of the federal public service, especially central agencies. Central agents, responding to pressures from academics, and the internal values and beliefs that tend to form in these secretaria, have sought to make the IDRC conform to their own expectations. The author concludes that the Centre has survived and prospered, despite these pressures, partly because of the skill of its top officers, but principally because of the IDRC's capacity to lay claim to being an expression of internationalism.
We also show how another dialectic, between more socially-oriented perspectives and more technical ones affected the development of the IDRC. The thesis suggests that the two dialectics, the internationalist and parochial, and the technical and social, are both synthesising into, respectively, interdependence and holism.

It has long been stated in the literature the effects of collaboration to innovation, especially regarding research and development (R&D) activities. However, these are dynamic empirical fields. Therefore theoretical approaches face constant challenges to understand and explain the new evidences. Due to the limited scope and scale of organizations to search and identify partners with complementary knowledge and resources, and to select those with potential to effectively cooperate for R&D, there is an increasing emergence of agents who provide these services in the market. Called intermediaries or brokers, they influence the interaction among organizations with the common goal of innovation. Still, the literature has reported that the intermediary may play an important set of functions for R&D projects not limited to the search of partners. This thesis is therefore mainly concerned with the influence of innovation intermediaries in the context of collaborative R&D projects, suggesting a conceptual framework on the role of intermediaries. The framework emphasises that R&D collaboration goes beyond dyadic relationships usually highlighted in the literature. The roles of intermediaries provide an important additional dimension in collaborative R&D projects. The empirical part of the thesis explored three case studies: Force for Elastomers, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil; the Orange Service Call and Reward project undertaken by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) for Orange; and the StarStream project from the University of Southampton, both in the United Kingdom. The results confirmed the influence of innovation intermediaries in most of the critical elements of a R&D project. The study advances the understanding of the influence of intermediaries for the beginning of a new project between partners. The analyses also show that intermediaries influence especially through the search for possible partners and the management of the relationship. However, the activities of research and knowledge production as well as activities of development and prototyping were not directly influenced by intermediaries. The stage after R&D, when the partners had reached positive results from activities, received a major influence from intermediaries who helped the firms to protect the inventions and to value and commercialize the new technology. Research outcomes still reveal that there is still a lack of measurements about intermediaries’ effectiveness and therefore firms involved in partnerships cannot fully evaluate their role.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Economic development depends on a number of variables, including the ability of the economy to innovate technologically. Innovation depends to a large extent on the value, both qualitative and quantitative, of the research and development (R&D) happening in an economy. R&D in turn require various activities and inputs, including human resources, capital and infrastructure. The focus of this study is on the alternatives available to the public sector for funding public R&D. Most of the current public R&D infrastructure comes from the fiscus, which is strained under the pressure of many competing and immediate needs. An alternate model for funding public R&D infrastructure is that of public private partnerships (PPPs), which are private sector-supported initiatives for delivery of public goods and services. These are used all over the world to deliver public services with a high degree of success in sectors such as health (hospitals and services) and transport (roads, airports). This study looks at how this model can be applied in the delivery of public R&D infrastructure, which has not been popular in South Africa to date. A questionnaire was designed to look at five key areas for investigation with regard to R&D infrastructure, namely: the type of infrastructure as a determinant for the success of the PPP; the perception regarding the risk of the transaction; the incentives available to the private participants; the availability of capital in the market; and the effect of regulations on the transaction. These are investigated through the use of a questionnaire to get responses from people who have an understanding of PPP transactions in the country. The results show that R&D PPPs are possible and should be explored. One of the main reasons why they are currently not popular is because they are under-explored. The respondents felt that: the PPP regulations may have to be changed or adapted to be effective in the administration of PPP transactions; the risks for R&D PPPs seem to be high; sufficient capital exists to fund these transactions; the type of the infrastructure being financed is not necessarily a hindrance; and there are sufficient incentives for the private sector to participate in these transactions.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ekonomiese ontwikkeling hang af van 'n aantal veranderlikes, onder andere die ekonomie se vermoë om tegnologies te innoveer. Sodanige innovasie word in 'n groot mate bepaal deur die waarde, beide kwalitatief en kwantitatief, van die navorsing en ontwikkeling wat binne die ekonomie plaasvind. Navorsing en ontwikkeling vereis weer verskeie aktiwiteite en insette, waaronder menslike hulpbronne, kapitaal en infrastruktuur. Hierdie studie fokus op alternatiewe wat vir die openbare sektor beskikbaar is ten opsigte van die befondsing van openbare navorsing en ontwikkeling. Die huidige openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur kom hoofsaaklik van die fiskus, wat weens verskeie mededingende en dringende behoeftes onder druk is. 'n Publieke-private venootskap (PPV) bied 'n moontlike alternatiewe model vir befondsing van 'n openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur. Openbare goedere en dienste word hiervolgens gelewer deur middel van inisiatiewe wat deur die privaatsektor ondersteun word. Die model word wêreldwyd baie suksesvol aangewend in sektore soos gesondheid (hospitale en dienste) en vervoer (paaie, lughawens). Hierdie studie ondersoek hoe die model toegepas kan word in die skep van 'n openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur in Suid-Afrika, hoewel dit tot dusver nie hier gewild was nie. 'n Vraelys is ontwerp om vyf sleutelareas ten opsigte van navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur te ondersoek, naamlik: tipe infrastruktuur as 'n determinant vir die sukses van die PPV; persepsie aangaande risiko met betrekking tot die transaksie; aansporing wat aan private deelnemers gebied word; beskikbaarheid van kapitaal in die mark en die uitwerking van regulasies op die transaksie. Hierdie vraelys is aangewend om reaksie te verkry van persone wat begrip van publieke-private ondernemings in die land het. Die resultate wys dat PPV's binne 'n navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur moontlik is en verder ondersoek behoort te word. Een van die hoofredes waarom dit tans nie gewild is nie, is die gebrek aan toepaslike navorsing. Respondente het aangedui dat: PPV regulasies moontlik verander of aangepas sal moet word om effektief te wees in die administrasie van sodanige transaksies; die risiko's vir PPV's in navorsing en ontwikkeling hoog voorkom; voldoende kapitaal vir befondsing van transaksies beskikbaar is; die tipe infrastruktuur wat befondsing ontvang nie noodwendig 'n hindernis is nie en dat voldoende aansporing vir die privaatsektor gebied word om aan hierdie transaksies deel te neem.

Full textThe development of the economy together with the population growth and the corresponding increase of purchasing power generate an increase in consumption and, consequently, affect factors and services which have direct relationship with the basic sanitation services in a city. An example of such service is urban solid waste management. From this context, the research is developed in connection with the evolution in quality and efficiency of reverse logistics of urban solid waste. Therefore, after observing how reverse logistics is currently being executed in two Brazilian cities (Fortaleza, State of Cearà and Osasco, State of SÃo Paulo), quantitative and qualitative management optimization procedures are suggested. In other words, such optimization procedures suggest that traditional management models currently used in public administration can enhance performance and efficiency if appropriate mathematical, computational and managerial tools are used. A mathematical model was formulated capable to accomplish an optimized quantitative analysis for the location of facilities within the ambit of reverse logistics and, then, it was indicated which is the best type of public management so that the proposed model is used with high performance and efficiency. To optimize solutions in the context of urban solid waste management, linear programming techniques are used. A computer program developed for this research was used to perform the simulations. The efficiency and versatility of the computer program were evaluated through the analysis of several examples for determining the optimized location of facilities in Fortaleza and in Osasco. Operational research is the basis for the construction of the mathematical model while the public-private partnership management model is the indication of the type of appropriate management so that the aforementioned mathematical and computational tool may present optimized solutions in the proposed reverse logistics urban solid waste management model.

This new market combines the researche and purchase innovative product, service or works and that are unavailable on the market. This present work aims firstly to demonstrate the contractual originality of the innovation partenschip approaching the economic and competitive reality of the market and, on the other hand the illusion of a novelty in the public procurement procedures, insofar as this procedure approximates the existing procedures notably the competitive dialogue and the former markets negotialted with publicity and competitive tendering. Similarly, the innovation partnerschip raises many questions of legal status of intellectual property, the distribution of risk, and so on, and the introduction of a genuine innovation procedure of fluidfication of the procurement of innovative public procurement

Resumo: O presente trabalho traz uma análise crítica da abordagem de inovação aberta (IA) e tem como objetivo analisar e caracterizar práticas colaborativas em inovação identificadas no setor de higiene pessoal, perfumaria e cosméticos (HPPC), procurando definir os desafios que se configuram a partir da necessidade de desenvolvimento de novas competências e rotinas organizacionais, a fim de operacionalizar estratégias deliberadamente focadas no estabelecimento de parcerias em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D), como é o caso da inovação aberta (IA). Para tanto, inicialmente foi feita uma revisão da literatura de IA de modo a desmistificar seu conceito, elencar suas formas de aplicação e identificar diferentes níveis de implementação. Posteriormente, analisamos a estrutura, dinâmica e condicionantes da inovação no setor de HPPC. Em seguida, caracterizamos práticas colaborativas em P&D e inovação estabelecidas entre empresas do setor a partir da análise de 43 casos. Analisamos também no Brasil e na França esforços empreendidos por associações industriais e governo de institucionalização do apoio ao estabelecimento de parcerias no setor. A fim de identificar e caracterizar práticas de gestão destas parcerias realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória com dez organizações e um estudo de caso em profundidade da empresa brasileira Natura. A partir da análise da implementação de uma estratégia de IA nesta empresa, pudemos identificar passos que compõem o processo de desenvolvimento de novas competências e rotinas organizacionais necessárias à sua implementação e, mais especificamente, ao acesso e gerenciamento de diversas fontes externas de inovação. Usamos como arcabouço teórico para realizar esta análise a visão baseada em recursos e a abordagem de capacidades dinâmicas (CD). Argumentamos que o desenvolvimento dessas competências e rotinas requer a mobilização de CD da firma num processo de reconfiguração de recursos e aprendizagem. Dentre as competências a serem desenvolvidas, destacamos as capacidades relacionais, especialmente necessárias no caso de empresas que lidam com uma vasta gama de atores, como é o caso da Natura. Como principais conclusões deste trabalho, acreditamos que a IA, uma abordagem que une práticas de busca de fontes externas de inovação, assim como de uso alternativo de tecnologias próprias não incorporadas ao negócio da empresa, é aplicável ao setor de HPPPC, dada sua dinâmica de inovação, desde que sejam realizados esforços para a estruturação e formalização desta estratégia. Destacamos alguns pontos nesse sentido. Primeiramente, é fundamental ter uma área dedicada à gestão de parcerias, sendo importante que esta seja apoiada pelas interfaces internas. Em segundo lugar, se faz necessário um processo de avaliação das parcerias. Finalmente, é crucial a manutenção de um P&D interno estável e contínuo, assim como o nível elevado da capacidade técnica das pessoas envolvidas nas atividades de P&D, na busca por oportunidades externas e na condução das parcerias. Afinal, só é possível extrair valor das oportunidades identificadas e das parcerias estabelecidas quando se tem a capacidade de absorção dos resultados provenientes destas interações
Abstract: This work provides a critical analysis of the open innovation approach and aims to analyze and characterize the collaborative innovation practices identified in the cosmetics and toiletries (C&T) industry, seeking to define the challenges that emerge from the need to develop new competences and organizational routines in order to implement strategies deliberately focused on building partnerships in research and development (R&D), as is the case of open innovation (OI). Therefore, we firstly reviewed the literature about OI in order to demystify the concept, list its application forms and identify its different levels of implementation. Subsequently, we assessed the structure, dynamics and current innovation drivers in the C&T industry. Secondly, we identified and characterized R&D and innovation collaborative practices established between companies in the industry by analyzing 43 cases. We also analyzed Brazilian and French industry associations and government efforts aimed at supporting the institutionalization of partnerships in the C&T industry. In order to identify and characterize management practices of these partnerships we performed an exploratory research with ten organizations and an in depth case study of the Brazilian company Natura. By analyzing the implementation of an OI strategy in this company, we were able to identify steps that comprise the process of developing the necessary competences and organizational routines, especially to access and manage a wide range of external sources of innovation. In order to perform this analysis, we used the resource-based view and the dynamic capabilities approach (DC) as theoretical framework. We argue that the development of these competences and routines requires the mobilization of DC of the firm in a process of resources reconfiguration and organizational learning. Among the skills to be developed, we highlight the firm's relational capabilities, especially needed by companies dealing with a wide range of actors, as is the case of Natura. As main conclusions of this work, we believe that OI, an approach which unifies practices for searching external sources of innovation as well as for establishing alternative paths to market for internal technologies unsuitable to the firm's business model, is applicable to this industry, given its innovation dynamics, though efforts should be made for the structuring and formalization of this strategy. We highlight some points that we consider essential in this regard. Firstly, it is fundamental to have a dedicated function to the partnerships management, and it is utterly important that it be supported by the different internal interfaces. Secondly, an evaluating process of the partnerships is necessary. Finally, it is crucial that a stable and continuous internal R&D be maintained, as well as the high level of expertise of persons engaged in R&D activities, in looking for opportunities, and in the conduct of external partnerships. After all, the firm can only extract value of the identified opportunities and partnerships when it has the adequate absorptive capacity to internalize the results of these interactions

Full textHighly dynamic, complex and involving high-tech environments, with knowledge and resources distributed among different agents resources, stimulate partnership agreements, which become a mean of transferring knowledge and technology, and access to complementary assets and achieve innovation. In this work, the question is how the partnership agreements and their management, more specifically, the agreements of the Productive Development Partnerships (PDPs), can improve the performance of Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities in the area of drugs and medicines. The relevance of the research is to conduct a qualitative study in order to contribute to previous theoretical, quantitative and qualitative studies about alliances in the pharmaceutical sector, and also to expand this understanding for PDPs, which are strategic to the Economic Industrial Complex of Health (CEIS) in Brazil, as they stimulate the domestic production of medicines to meet the Unified System of Health (SUS) demands. In order to study this issue, we choose to map the PDPs in the pharmaceutical biotechnology sector, as this is a highly complex and multidisciplinary knowledge sector, characterized by the distribution of knowledge and resources among the agents that needs to establish partnerships to access these resources and seek complementary capabilities. It is also worth to note the fact that the Brazilian government has chosen the biotechnology sector as one of the central axes of its industrial policy through various incentive programs. For this study we choose the methodology of multiple case studies. PDPs were selected from two large organizations. Directors and managers were interviewed (hierarchical levels 2 and 3). It was concluded that there is a positive relationship between the partnership agreements and the good performance in the RD&I activities of the organizations involved in this study, since there is a good management capacity of the agreements by the partners. It was also concluded that good management capacity of these agreements increases the credibility of these organizations, putting them in a competitive position in the national market. Additionally, it was possible to identify that the good performance of the PDPs tends to guarantee the production of medicines in the national market, meeting the demands of the SUS and contributing to the development of the CEIS. In this study, it was also possible to confirm the evidences from previous studies that demonstrated the importance of the trust relationship between the partners for the good performance of partnerships

Thesis, Linköping University, Department of Thematic Studies, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-415.
Full textSyftet med studien är att undersöka och problematisera hur Sida och Afrikagrupperna arbetar med hiv och aids i Sydafrika utifrån den postkoloniala kritik som riktats mot denna typ av arbete. Fokus ligger på de problem och dilemman som finns i utvecklingssamarbetet med Sydafrika. För att få en djupare förståelse och ytterligare ett perspektiv sammanför vi den postkoloniala teorin med teorier om hälsa. I det postkoloniala kapitlet behandlas bland andra Maria Eriksson Baaz och Pal Ahluwalias teorier om hur kolonialismen har skapat strukturer som påverkar Afrikabilden både i västvärlden och i Afrika idag. I teorin om hälsa utgår vi ifrån bland andra Deborah Lupton som menar att folkhälsa har en stark inverkan på politiska och sociala strukturer som fungerar som ett moraliserande system och påverkar hur vi ser på oss själva. För att få en förståelse och kunna problematisera ämnet ytterligare har vi tagit del av de dokument och policys som ligger till grund för Sida och Afrikagruppernas hiv och aidsarbete i Sydafrika. Dessa dokument analyseras och sammanförs med de intervjuer som har genomförts med Sidas och Afrikagruppernas anställda både i Sverige och i Sydafrika. Studien har, förutom att tydliggöra utvecklingssamarbetets komplexitet, också bland annat visat på att de strukturer skapade utifrån bilden av Afrika fortfarande påverkar biståndsarbetet på olika sätt och att västvärldens syn på hälsa i sin tur påverkar synen på Afrika. Sverige har definierat sitt utvecklingsarbete som ett partnerskap och studien visar att Sverige i jämförelse med andra länder ligger långt fram i detta arbete, men att det fortfarande finns brister.
The purpose of the study is to examine and problemize how Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden´s work with HIV/AIDS in South Africa considering the post-colonial critique that has been directed at this type of work. Focus is on the problems and dilemmas that exist is the development work with South Africa. To get a deeper understanding and further perspectives we bring the post-colonial theory together with health theories. In the post-colonial chapter are Maria Eriksson Baaz and Pal Ahluwalias theories about how the colonial era has created structures that influence how one look at Africa today being discussed. In the health theory Deborah Lupton, amongst others, argues that public health has a strong effect on political and social structures that functions as a norm building system and influence how we view ourselves. To get an understanding and to be able to further problemize the material we have examined documents and policies that are the basis for Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden´s work with HIV and AIDS in South Africa. These documents are being analysed and brought together with interviews that have been conducted with employees of Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden in both Sweden and South Africa. The study has, except to elucidate the complexity of the development work, also shown, among other things, that the structures created due to the image of Africa still effects the aid work on different levels and that the western view on public health influence the image of Africa. The Swedish development work has been defined as a partnership and the study shows that Sweden, in comparison with other countries lies far ahead in this work, but that there still are shortages.

Full textThe second chapter analyzes the financing constraints on R&D investments. The central question in this chapter is whether financing constraints can explain a part of the acknowledged R&D gap between Europe and the US. In order to address this question, a dataset is constructed on the basis of a compilation of R&D scoreboards. The findings of this chapter are based on a sensitivity analysis of R&D to cash flow using estimates of dynamic R&D equations. The relationship between the financing constraints on R&D and the age of the companies is analyzed in an additional set of results with parametric as well as non parametric estimations. European firms appear to be affected by financing constraints in the 2000s while this is not the case for the US companies. The age seems to affect negatively the R&D sensitivity for EU and US leading innovators, with higher sensitivities for old and low-tech EU firms than their US counterparts.
The third chapter is dedicated to the measuring of the knowledge production of R&D expenditures when they are disaggregated into the following components: intramural versus extramural expenditures, research versus development expenditures, product-oriented versus process-oriented, human capital versus investments. The sources of funding and the types of subcontractors are also considered. The main question of this chapter is whether the heterogeneity of R&D affects the technology performance of the companies, as measured by patent applications. A cross-sectional Belgian R&D survey conducted over 2004-2005 is used for the purpose of the analysis. Given the high dependency of the Belgian innovation system towards the foreign MNEs, a matching process was performed between Belgian R&D and patents related to Belgian inventors in order to capture the patents filed outside Belgium but related to inventions created by firms located in Belgium (i.e. subsidiaries of foreign groups). Estimates of the elasticity of the quantity of patents with respect to the components of R&D are provided.
The main question of the fourth chapter is whether the diversification strategies of the economic activities of the R&D leaders in Europe affect, positively or negatively, the performance of their R&D activities. An original approach is proposed on the basis of the analysis of the subsidiaries of EU MNEs. The sample consists of large R&D firms that represent about 80% of total European R&D. In general, the results indicate a positive impact from globalization on firms’ R&D productivity, especially in the US, while a negative impact for industrial diversification is found.
The main question of the fifth chapter is whether the R&D activities that are conducted outside Europe still benefit to European growth. If so, how does the regional location of R&D centers matter in the production process of EU MNEs? The analysis is conducted on the basis of a unique sample of 637 European R&D leaders with information that is consolidated with respect to about 8000 worldwide patenting subsidiaries. The assessment of R&D internationalization is proxied by the regional repartition of the inventors of each firm. The empirical findings suggest that R&D located in Europe yields significant economic results, but a reallocation of R&D located in Europe instead of outside Europe seems to be correlated with lower R&D performances in high-tech sectors, but not in lower-tech industries. Conversely, a larger share of R&D located in the US seems to improve the economic performance of R&D activities within high-tech EU MNEs while the effect is negative for lower-tech companies. Nevertheless, the economic performance of R&D centers in Europe and US is jointly positive and significant for both regions.
The sixth chapter concludes the dissertation by reviewing the main findings of the previous chapters. Policy implications are summarized and the limitations of the thesis are addressed. Finally, extensions of the scope of the analysis and ideas for future research are suggested.

The subject of forest has been concerned constantly by the various countries, and the management pattern of forest also primarily has faced the community orientation gradually. Forestry Bureau impelled the plan of community forestry under the new tendency of forest management, because it expected to encourage the community inhabitants to participate in the public affairs by the plan impelled, and to establish the partnership of the mutual recognition and the common goal with communities in order to manage the forest resources of Taiwan together. But the only six communities could enter to the second stage in the three ones of the plan. Nearly three or four hundred communities are still in the first stage of the plan now. Therefore, the research will discuss what factors influence the partnership between the government and communities by the perspective of partnership. In view of government officials, experts, as well as community representatives participating in the community forestry plan to explore what reasons resulting in the so big disparity and to draw up the solution by interviews. This research pointed out that the reasons which the communities cannot enter to the second stage of the plan were as a result of many factors, but the main key aspect was for the question of government interior, the community forestry plan, the common goal cognition, as well as the community participation and so on. Based on these factors, this research also proposed the some solution and concrete suggestion in view of the guidance policy in government interior, the recruitment, the community forestry plan, the common goal cognition, as well as community participation and so on, as the reference for Forestry Bureau in the executing community forestry plan.

As the continuing extension of government budget liability and people’s growing demand on the quality of public service, the present stage has passed from a phase of government authoritarianism to an era of government-market dominion. Taiwan government is seeking collaboration from private department on public affairs in response to the trend that urban construction has been carried out popularly by public-private partnership within Europe and U.S. areas since 1980s. Nevertheless, The execution process and effect worked by the interaction between public and private department still cause much controversy and defect on BOT, urban renewal, or other implementation experience. Therefore, from viewpoint of public-private partnership, the interaction between domestic public-private department will be observed in accordance with the government reform exercise. It is expected that the current weakness of public and private department participation in urban construction will be improved by the necessary tendency - public-private partnership, creating a competitive city of immediate response. Consequently, this research is based on the concept of public-private partnership and constructed a development mechanism of public-private partnership from land development in order to improve the setback of domestic public-private partnership on land development. Judging from the discussion of public-private partnership’s content and theory, the analysis of public-private partnership’s policy and experience from other nations, and the in-depth interview with public and private department personnel, the role and situation Taiwan’s public-private partnership plays on land development is further inspected. By means of interaction between public and private department, development project and suggestions made by partnership spirit-oriented of public-private partnership will be raised. Through general assessment, a localized strategy and function format of public-private partnership plausible in Taiwan will be drawn. Last, according to the significance, urgency, and complexity of redevelopment of urban central area, from the aspect of urban renewal, this research paper approaches the characteristic, present situation and issues of the redevelopment of urban central area in Taiwan and coordinates the strategy of public-private partnership to establish the principles and executive mechanism of public-private partnership of the redevelopment of urban central area. This research indicates that Taiwan is ready to apply public-private partnership to the implementation condition and background motive of land development; however, there are several problems, such as the negative attitude of public department, miscommunication between public and private department, and possible corruption of public-private partnership in Taiwan. The research is planned on the contract of reciprocal and interactive agreement between public and private department and worked with probable intermediate organization and supervised deliberation mechanism in order to match the model of public-private partnership in Taiwan’s environment. Facing the issues of lacking executor and money at public department of redevelopment of urban central area, the difficulty of getting lands, the redundancy and uncertainty of the deliberation institution, and the inadequacy of rewarding incentive and bargaining chips, these strategies are practiced at the principles of the redevelopment of urban central area and the aspect of building mechanism. The applied subjects are the urban-center redevelopment projects that public or private department cannot work alone and the representative redevelopment project of policy meaning for public department. The applied fields are the profitable public lands and the profitless private lands. It is suggested that public department initiates this work and mayors strongly support it. At the aspect of dealing lands, need to establish the technique of coordinating lands at private department, the timing that public department enforcement intrusion, the role function of the involvement of the third department. The partner-interaction process must include the common consensus and trust of public and private department, clear distinction of right, obligation, and profit, and the principles of being public, efficient, elastic and joint venture. This is also coordinated diverse rewards and elasticity, and the deliberation institution of individual case of fair efficiency. At the last, by revising the rules of urban renewal, establish the lawful and feasibility of the mechanism of public-private partnership development.

Rural schools usually play an important role on the education, economic and social development of their communities in countryside areas. Particularly, rural schools have potential to generate social capital where the level of social capital of community is low. Evidence shows that many small rural communities have failed to remain robust and sustainable after their schools being demolished. The purpose of this study is to explore the nature and extent of the contribution of rural schools to their communities’ development, beyond traditional forms of education of young people. The ‘community-based’ methodology is taken to examine different stakeholders’ various interests concerning economic, social and environmental development of their rural community, and to figure out a proper model of participation and collaboration. An action research was conducted to design and implement various participatory forums in case study areas to discuss community issues of concern, to enhance partnership between rural schools and communities, and to enhance stakeholders’ contribution to resources conservation and community sustainable development. In this study, various forms of ‘school-community partnership platform’ such as workshops, communication forums, outdoor education activities and training courses, etc. were designed and conducted in the light of Healey’s theory of collaborative planning. The goal of these meeting was to enhance knowledge resources, relational resources, as well as mobilization capacity among different stakeholders. The findings of this study show that the ‘school-community partnership platform’ is like a new bridge connecting and activating partnership between the Lichi community and the Lichi elementary school, as well as the Fuyuan community and the Fuyuan elementary school. Besides, through a panel discussion on the platform, this study enables stakeholders of both schools and communities to draw up and put into practice the community projects that, as a result, initiate the new school-community interaction. The ‘school-community partnership platform’ helps clarify the major interests and requirements of community inhabitants and school teachers. Furthermore, after a lot of discussion, community inhabitants and school teachers figured out a common ground of their interests and goals. They worked together to apply for relevant community development projects, including the Community Forestry Project of Forestry Bureau and the Holiday School Project of Education Bureau of Taitung Country to achieve their aims. Therefore, ‘school-community partnership platform’ proves to be a genuine assistance to promote knowledge resources, relational resources, and mobilization capacity between schools and communities. Nevertheless, the outcomes of the two studied areas show remarkably different. The difference might be caused by the following 9 factors: on the aspect of knowledge resources, the possible causes are ‘mutual requirement of expert knowledge and local knowledge’ and ‘fitness of community projects for school teachers’ and local people’s interests’; on relational resources aspect are ‘leadership’, ‘cohesiveness’, ‘mutual respect and approval among school teachers and local people’; and on mobilization capacity, ‘consolidation plan for merging school districts’, ‘operational mechanism of the school-community partnership platform’, ‘available time for participation’, and ‘equal opportunity of benefit-sharing’ are considered to be critical.

Full textBetween 2008 and 2011 academic teaching staff from Leeds Beckett University (UK) and Chainama Hills College of Health Sciences (Zambia) worked together on a Development Partnership in Higher Education (DelPHe) project funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) via the British Council. The partnership focused on “up-scaling” the provision of mental health education which was intended to build capacity through the delivery of a range of workshops for health educators at Chainama College, Lusaka. The project was evaluated on completion using small focus group discussions (FGDs), so educators could feedback on their experience of the workshops and discuss the impact of learning into their teaching practice. This chapter discusses the challenges of scaling up the mental health workforce in Zambia; the rationale for the content and delivery style of workshops with the health educators and finally presents and critically discusses the evaluation findings.
