Command and control environmental regulation has been under attack from all sides for some time. In Wisconsin, the Department of Natural Resources is experimenting with an alternative form of environmental governance. This new program uses cooperative agreements to provide flexibility to firms in exchange for "superior environmental performance." The program attempts to change norms of adversarial and rule driven regulation, to norms of cooperative and flexible regulation. To maintain democratic accountability, firms that take part in the program are required to create a group of interested community participants. This thesis explores regulatory relationships within this program and under command and control through three case studies. These case studies reveal that flexibility can provide opportunity for greater environmental performance and that bottom up participation can provide a measure of democratic accountability. However, this democratic accountability was compromised by lack of access to expertise among participants, lack of clarity in roles, and difficulty handling conflict. The difficulties faced in this program highlight the need for the state to take a proactive role even when moving away from command and control. Nevertheless, these cases show potential for a shift towards cooperation in regulation through opening spaces for firms, regulators, and communities, to engage in deliberation.

Not long ago, China's environmental problems would have barely mattered beyond its borders. Now, while Chinese policy-makers have begun to tackle a wide range of domestic environmental challenges, the transboundary impact of China's domestic environmental difficulties deserves greater attention. Although China has historically neglected the transboundary impacts of its environmental problems, state actors are increasingly focusing on transboundary environmental relations. Based upon extensive field research in the Mekong Region, I have identified a number of situations in which China has sought to engage in transboundary environmental management. However, at the same time, in the same region, I have identified other situations where it has not been willing to take its transboundary environmental management responsibilities seriously. This dissertation seeks to explain this pattern of behavior. In particular, my assumption is that under certain circumstances, non-state actors, including civil society organizations and multilaterals, operating both inside China and in the world-at-large, through a process I call networked governance, are able to influence China's willingness to take its transboundary environmental responsibilities seriously. This research suggests it is increasingly important for these external non-state actors to better understand the mechanisms they can utilize to engage China's decision-makers in collaboratively managing transboundary natural resources. The Chinese central government is slowly relinquishing its role of supreme decision-maker. The Mekong Region is a complex web of inter-organizational networks that reach out, formally and informally, to China's environmental policy and decision-makers, at both the provincial and national levels.
(cont.) Based on an analysis of four detailed case studies, I conclude that these networks exert 'extra-bureaucratic' influence over China's policy and decision-making, generating a specific form of environmental governance in the region. China appears to be slowly shifting its approach to the management of transboundary natural resources.

This thesis examines the evolving shape of environmental governance using an extended case study of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, drawing on their efforts to reduce pollution in the Wisconsin foundry industry. This analysis follows the development of the Department's efforts to change their practices over the past 30 years and explores a more recent "institutional innovation" called the Benzene Reduction Action Team (otherwise known as BRAT Co.) The organization is a virtual company that brings together members from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Wisconsin Cast Metals Association (WCMA), a trade organization representing the foundry industry, in a partnership to help the industry comply with Wisconsin's Hazardous Air Pollutant rule and to collaboratively develop alternative compliance procedures. This thesis situates BRAT Co. in a wider context of government efforts to innovate within a regulatory environment and to redefine how an environmental agency can help to reduce pollution through a cooperative process that actively involves the regulated community.

Texto completoSand is a resource in high demand for urban expansion and development. Sand mining operations are often located on the edges of cities. The Macassar Dunes are an important source of building sand for the City of Cape Town. The area is located within the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest and richest of the six floral kingdoms of the world. The Macassar Dunes area has been identified as a core flora conservation site due to its unique habitat diversity and quality. South Africa is a developing country and this case study is used to highlight the tensions that arise between the need to provide building sand for development and the need for integrated and accountable management that allows for the sustainable functioning of natural physical and ecological processes as well as enhanced social and economic benefits for people.

This thesis examines the existing regional transportation governance structure in New York City, and use Penn Station and the Gateway Rail Tunnel Project as lenses to explore the effectiveness of governance and the ability to realize regional transportation and economic development goals. It will explore multi-scale governance, and the relationships within and between urban, metropolitan and mega-regional transportation governance structures. New York Pennsylvania Station is a major hub station in New York City and the busiest transportation facility in the United States. As a node that connects two major commuter rail systems (Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit) urban public transit (New York City Transit), and intercity rail (Amtrak), Penn Station is a physical manifestation of competition for space and financial resources, and the necessity of intermodal collaboration and integrated governance to achieve the maximum benefit for the region. The challenges facing American cities are no longer localized in nature, but rather incorporate not only the central city and its surrounding suburbs, but also the next metropolitan area, or even one hundreds of miles away. Regional governance systems currently in place are ill equipped to deal with challenges that transcend local urban boundaries. These challenges incorporate not only transportation operators, but also government officials, private companies and civil sector organizations. Through interviews with twenty-five senior officials from public, private, academic and civil sector organizations, we explored current regional governance structures and the reality of decision-making, as well as the potential for change in the region. Through our study of Penn Station, we consider the history that has led to the current structure of the governance system and explore long-, medium- and short-term changes that can help improve regional rail integration and decision-making. Long-term, we discuss the potential for a new regional transportation governance structure incorporating existing operators; in the medium-term, we explore the potential of a station management organization and in the short-term, we discuss several ideas for bridging divides across operators and improving the current travel experience.

In cities worldwide, the geographic and functional mismatch between urban governance structures and the actual dynamics of urban activities has hindered efforts to achieve sustainable and equitable development at the metropolitan scale. Overcoming this mismatch requires coordination between typically fragmented government agencies-and this coordination requires inter-organizational collaboration. In Portugal, the twin challenges of declining urban centers and sprawling suburbs, combined with the absence of a metropolitan planning structure, have heightened the importance of inter-agency collaboration, especially in terms of land use and transportation. In contrast to typical studies of policy integration, which tend to focus on barriers to collaboration, in this thesis I examine forces which contribute to its emergence. I consider two questions: first, what conditions and factors have actually led to inter-organizational collaboration in the Portuguese context? Second, what is the potential for a particular scenario-building process to lead to further collaboration among those who participated? Study of existing collaborative arrangements reveals five conditions which appear to contribute to the emergence of collaboration. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of scenario-building workshops conducted with stakeholders in Portugal suggests that these exercises have increased the likelihood of the future collaboration among participants to a small degree. Finally, recognizing that collaboration is necessary, but not sufficient, for better metropolitan-level development, I suggest ways in which government policy can take advantage of pro-collaboration forces.

Texto completoGlobalt ökar medvetenheten om vikten av att tillämpa principer för cirkulär ekonomi för att hantera organiska avfallsströmmar genom resursåtervinning. I de urbana områdena i Subssahariska Afrika är detta särskilt relevant, då dessa förväntas stå för en betydande del av befolkningsökningen under de kommande tre decennierna. En mer cirkulärekonomi för sanitet och avfallshantering kan ge incitament för att förbättra infrastrukturen och därmed bidra med resurser till produktion av vatten, energi och mat som driver städernas försörjning. Denna licentiatuppsats befinner sig i skärningspunkten mellan cirkulär ekonomi å ena sidan och sanitets- och avfallshanteringssystem å andra sidan. Syftet är att bidra med kunskap om cirkulär ekonomi genom att undersöka potentialen för resursorienterad stadssanitet och avfallshantering att bidra till genomförandet av cirkulär ekonomi i Subsahariska Afrika, samt dess möjligheter och utmaningar. För att uppnå ovanstående syfte används flera olika metoder och genomförs i två fallstudiestäder: Kampala i Uganda respektive Naivasha i Kenya. Resultaten visar på de mängder av resursåtervinningsprodukter som biogas, kompost och svarta soldatflugelarver som kan erhållas från organiska avfallsströmmar som samlas in i en stor stad. Dessutom visar resultaten livskraftigheten för att valorisera torkat avföringsslam som ett fast bränsle för industriella tillämpningar. Slutligen identifierar resultaten faktorer som underlättar eller hindrar styrningskapaciteten för att genomföra cirkulär ekonomi-strategier för hantering av organiska avfallsströmmar i stadsområden i Subsahariska Afrika. Metoderna som används för att kvantifiera potentialen att valorisera organiska avfallsströmmar och att utvärdera styrningskapacitet är metoder som kan tillämpas i andra urbana sammanhang där det finns intresse för att genomföra cirkulära ekonomiska principer. Diskussionen belyser några viktiga konsekvenser av dessa fynd för sanitets- och avfallshanteringspraxis och argumenterar för att det är dags för en övergång i SSA från att utforma sanitets- och avfallshanteringssystem för bortskaffande till att utforma dem för resursåtervinning.

Texto completoDuring several decades the urbanization around areas of water spring in the \"São Paulo Metropolitan Region (RMSP)\"has become more intense. As a result of this process, the increase of informal occupancy, the decrease of vegetation in the affected areas and pollution of the water spring put the life of thousands of people at risk. This thesis evaluates that the legislation dedicated to water springs was not sufficient in providing a solution to the problems above. The instruments provided by the new legislation - though successful in improving the overall picture of social and environmental degradation of the spring regions - remain mostly unenforced due to a lack of integration between the state and city government levels. In order to show this result, a sample of territories of the RMSP and districts of the city of São Paulo was chosen among those covered by the Water Supply Protection Law - LPM/1975-1976. Case by case, demographic increase, urban expansion and the decrease in vegetation around spring regions was researched. We observed an increase of population density in the sampled territories encompassed by the LPM/1975-1976, which implies a change in the patterns of occupancy and less degradation of areas of forests possibly. Although emergency actions were taken, the environmental degradation is far reaching. The preservation of the water and vegetation of the spring and the improvements of life quality of the local population require coordinated effort from public agents in the state and city levels. In our understanding, these coordinated actions may form a path to the ultimate goal of constructing urban areas with environmental sustainability.

Texto completoThis thesis aims to answer the question that if the law of planification of China, really takes account of the objectives of environmental protection. The answer is based on, first of all, the reform of system of land ownership. This thesis cracks the problemby two approaches: the state and collective property right. The first part of the analysisis macro-perspective, i.e., the course of land reform (direct link of the development ofurbanization) and the land users. In general, the state remains the sole owner of all the land and delegates the local governments to manage the use of land in China. However, the high interest undermines their roles, and degradation of environment in the process of urbanization continues. Based on this observation, we analyzed their administration, i.e., who are exactly the actors and how the powers are shared. The lack of transparency and independence is in its structure, i.e., they have ambitions to have a good protection but the conflict appears frequently. In the further part, micro-vision was employed. We focused on the regulations of planification, procedures and formalities that is deeply involved. In fact, we find that the volume of law was expanded and a need of consolidation is urgent for the coherence, accessibility and understanding of law. Then it follows the analysis of two procedures: the procedure of environmental assessment as well as participation. These procedures are the practical implementation of the consideration of the environment. The fact is that rapid urbanization resulted in a reconfiguration of the urban space, and the appearance of avariety of interests. The degradation of environment, coupled with the importance of urbanization has become a challenge to governance. People realized more and more issues related to housing, welfare and citizenship. This forces the government to change their policies and acts.From different points of views- historical, political, administrative, legal andsocial- this research determines how a better environmental protection can play in law of planification. The reforms are envisaged, and there are still problems: the harmonization and consistency of the regulations, the clarity of the law for his efficiency and law security, the improvement of the process. Contrary to what isreceived, the government has intention to solve this question, as demonstrated by hisconsistency to innovation and reform in the field. At the present, planification, rather than a method of protection, works for the growth of the economy. Due to the lack of effective regulation, the real consideration of environment is still very limited

CAPES
As florestas urbanas são entendidas pela legislação ambiental como porções remanescentes e ameaçadas do ecossistema Mata Atlântica exclusivamente inseridas no tecido urbano. Uma das florestas urbanas em Pernambuco é a Mata do Passarinho, localizada na cidade de Olinda, às margens do Rio Beberibe. O município de Olinda não foi capaz de oferecer, no passado, condições plenas de preservação para a Mata do Passarinho, que se tornou alvo de intensas disputas por terra e processos de degradação. Após muitas tentativas de recuperação e recategorizações legais, ocorre hoje para a Mata do Passarinho o momento de maior segurança em termos jurídicos, institucionais e ambientais, tendo seu espaço utilizado para atividades de visitação e educação, além de possuir um dos poucos planos de manejo no estado pernambucano. Entretanto, existem tensões latentes com as populações próximas e possibilidades de melhoria do trabalho institucional no quesito de apropriação social dos processos de gestão ambiental. Esta dissertação aborda as questões ambientais da Mata do Passarinho, sua história, composição e possibilidades de futuro, bem como as comunidades em vulnerabilidade socioambiental que a rodeiam, discutindo os conflitos, processos políticos-decisórios e relação sociedade-natureza contextualizada no território analisado.
Urban forests are perceived by environmental legislation as remaining and endangered portions of the Mata Atlântica ecosystem entirely inserted into the urban tissue. One of Pernambuco's urban forest is Mata do Passarinho, located in the city of Olinda, on the Rio Beberibe shores. The municipality of Olinda was not able to offer, in the past, suitable conditions of preservation to the Mata do Passarinho, which became subject of intense disputes over land and degradation processes. After many recovery attempts and legal re-categorizations, occours today for the Mata do Passarinho the greater moment of security in legal, institutional and environmental terms, having its space used for visitation and educational activities, as well as having one of the few management plans in the Pernambuco state. However, there are underlying tensions with nearby populations and possibilities of institutional work improvements on the environmental management social ownership matter. This dissertation addresses environmental issues of Mata do Passarinho, its history, composition and future possibilities as well as the social and environmental vulnerable communities that surround it, discussing conflicts, political decision-making processes and contextualized society-nature relationship in the analyzed territory.

In a world of accelerated urbanization process, the issues related to social and environmental sustainability of cities are highlighted under international civil society. By the time the first international discussions on environment in Stockholm (1972), also the question of human settlements in urban centers has relevance in the international arena (Vancouver, 1976), putting the cities as a relevant theme in discussions of international civil society. Currently, there are networks of cities, international organizations, institutions, associations, foundations, anyway, a large international effort focused on urban problems. So, the hypothesis initially placed in this work is that all this international effort on urban problems could represent the establishment of an international urban regime. However, the answer to this question depends on the theoretical perspective to address urban problems. So were described two lines of reflection on urban problems: 1) the Group of liberal positions, composed of those who see in globalization (those who criticize and denounce the evils of global processes, or those who see economic and social advances with globalization) and the adaptation of cities to global flows a condition (to be leveraged or overcome) for sustainable development; 2) the Group of critical positions, from Marxist readings, which sees the incorporation of cities to global flows as a rearrangement of capitalist accumulation processes, leading to an extreme level the social inequalities and socio-spatial segregation in urban centers throughout the world. Connected to that cleavage of theoretical positions, it was possible to draw a parallel with another distinction between the international documents on human settlements, marked the position of the Vancouver Declaration (1976) and the World Charter for the Right to the City (2006), on the one hand, and of the Habitat Agenda (1996) position, on the other. The Vancouver Declaration and the Letter for the Right to the City highlights that the urbanization processes should be under exclusive civil service, being prohibited the transfer of decisions about the city to the private sector, emphasizing a citizen´s collective right to equal enjoyment of urban space and emphasizing too the property social function principle. Already the Habitat Agenda advocates a broad and extensive rights framework correlated to the city, seeking to cover all the views on urban problems, but always highlighting the role of the private sector (special feature of this document and main difference in relation to other statements) in the actions for implementation of these rights. Given by these theoretical divides, it can be concluded that international efforts aimed at institutionalizing an "international urban regime" can be identified as an effort of adaptation of cities to global economic flows, since the realization of the right to the city does not depend on a single global solution, but rather the satisfaction of specific conditions of each place, as well as the main role of citizens. On the other hand, international efforts can also be facing the other direction, that is, to make public the urban processes and to the spread of equitable distribution of burdens and benefits resulting from the construction of the urban space. In this sense, in conclusion, one can speak on global urban governance mechanisms, to strengthen the main role of citizens on the construction of the city and also the local initiatives for the realization of the right to the city.
Num mundo em acelerado processo de urbanização, as questões relacionadas à sustentabilidade socioambiental das cidades ganham destaque no âmbito da sociedade civil internacional. No mesmo momento em que se deram os primeiros debates internacionais sobre meio ambiente em Estocolmo (1972), também a questão sobre os assentamentos humanos nos centros urbanos passou a ter relevância no âmbito internacional (Vancouver, 1976), colocando as cidades como um tema relevante nos debates da sociedade civil internacional. Atualmente, existem redes de cidades, organismos internacionais, instituições, associações, fundações, enfim, um grande esforço internacional voltado para os problemas urbanos. Daí, a hipótese inicialmente colocada neste trabalho foi no sentido de que todo esse esforço poderia representar o estabelecimento de um regime urbano internacional. Ocorre que a resposta a essa indagação depende da perspectiva teórico pela qual se abordam os problemas urbanos. Foram, então, descritas duas linhas de reflexão sobre os problemas urbanos: 1) o grupo das posições ¿liberais¿, que vê na globalização (sejam os que criticam e denunciam as mazelas dos processos globais, ou aqueles que veem avanços econômicos e sociais com a globalização) e na adaptação das cidades aos fluxos globais uma condicionante, a era aproveitada ou superada, para o desenvolvimento sustentável; 2) o grupo dos posicionamentos críticos, a partir de leituras marxistas, que vê a incorporação das cidades aos fluxos globais como uma forma de rearranjo dos processos de acumulação capitalista, levando a um nível extremo as desigualdades sociais e a segregação sócio espacial nos centros urbanos em todo o planeta. Conectada a essa clivagem de posições teóricas, foi possível traçar um paralelo com outra clivagem nos documentos internacionais sobre cidades, ficando a marcada a posição da Declaração de Vancouver (1976) e da Carta Mundial pelo Direito à Cidade (2006), de um lado, e da Agenda Habitat (1996), de outro. A Declaração de Vancouver e a Carta pelo Direito à Cidade defendem que os processos de urbanização devem ser uma função pública indelegável ao setor privado, enfatizando um direito coletivo de todos os cidadãos ao usufruto equitativo do espaço urbano e destacando o princípio da função social da propriedade. Já a Agenda Habitat defende um amplo e extenso quadro dos direitos correlacionados à cidade, buscando contemplar todas as visões sobre os problemas urbanos, mas sempre destacando o protagonismo do setor privado (marca deste documento e divergência em relação às outras declarações) nas ações para implementação desses direitos. Diante dessas clivagens teóricas, os esforços internacionais dirigidos à institucionalização de um ¿regime urbano internacional¿, podem ser identificados como um esforço de adaptação das cidades aos fluxos econômicos globais, uma vez que a realização do direito à cidade não depende de uma solução global única, mas sim da satisfação de condicionantes específicas de cada local, bem como do protagonismo dos cidadãos. De outro lado, os esforços internacionais também podem ser voltados para outra direção, ou seja, para a defesa da apropriação pública da função urbanizadora e para a propagação dos mecanismos de distribuição equitativa dos ônus e benefícios da construção do espaço urbano. Nesse sentido, será possível falar em mecanismos de governança urbana global, que vêm em socorro do protagonismo político e social dos cidadãos, bem como das inciativas locais para realização do direito à cidade.

A Agenda 21 é um instrumento no qual as políticas públicas de desenvolvimento podem ser pautadas, uma vez que resulta da articulação dos agentes sociais entorno dos seus anseios e necessidades. Contudo, muitos são os limites impostos para a sua aplicabilidade. A Agenda 21 Local de Itaparica/BA, construída nos anos de 2006 e 2007 com participação do terceiro setor, comunidade e poder público local, seguiu as etapas de sensibilização, elaboração de diagnóstico socioambiental comunitário, reuniões temáticas e constituição do Fórum. O objetivo do presente trabalho é a avaliação da aplicabilidade da Agenda 21 Local de Itaparica/BA, seus limites e possibilidades na visão dos agentes sociais envolvidos. Para tanto, foi utilizada pesquisa bibliográfica acerca dos conceitos de desenvolvimento sustentável e governança participativa, além da aplicação de entrevistas junto a membros do poder público local das gestões de 2005-2008 e 2009-2012, representantes de organizações não governamentais, lideranças e agentes comunitários. Como resultados pode-se observar a descontinuidade das ações e não incorporação das propostas e diretrizes construídas quando da elaboração das políticas públicas que visam o desenvolvimento do município, apesar da reconhecida importância desse documento por parte dos agentes sociais envolvidos. Com base nisso, pode-se afirmar que o resgate da Agenda 21 Local de Itaparica/BA, bem como o estímulo à governança participativa, seriam fatores que contribuiriam com o desenvolvimento sustentável local.
The Agenda 21 is an instrument in which public policies for development could be based on, as it results from the articulation of social agents around their needs and desires. However, there are many limits to its applicability. The Local Agenda 21 of Itaparica, built in 2006 and 2007 with the participation of third section organizations, local community and public authorities, follow the steps of awareness, elaboration of community social environmental diagnosis, thematic meetings and Forum constitution. The objective of this work is to analyze the applicability of Local Agenda 21 of Itaparica/BA, its limits and possibilities in the involved social agents vision. To this end, the concepts of sustainable development and participative governance were studied, and the members of public authorities of 2005-2008 and 2009-2012 administrations, nongovernmental organizations, leaders and community members were interviewed. As a result, we could notice the discontinuity of actions and the non incorporation of directives and proposes as the elaboration of public policies to local development, although the importance of the document in the concept of involved social agents. Based on it, we could affirm that recuperate Local Agenda 21 of Itaparica/BA, such as stimulate participative governance, would contribute to local sustainable development.

Texto completoSustainable development and in particular sustainable urban development are now catchphrases for how most cities wish to develop. Sustainability indicators have been established as a tool to facilitate decision-making measures to simplify, clarify and gather information. The idea is that indicators should control and follow through sustainability efforts but also serve as a tool to communicate ideas, thoughts and values. The aim of this study is to describe how sustainability indicators can help to streamline sustainability efforts. By looking at how three Swedish municipality use indicators along with research in the theoretical field a conclusion that shows that there are major weaknesses in the systems applied today is presented. The research advocates a few indicators based on both qualitative and quantitative values where communication is central which completely goes against what the municipalities are doing at the moment. New indicator systems based on participation where the intended audience is primary would lead to a broader understanding of sustainability goals, which is a requisite for achieving them. Indicators could facilitate decision-making where the role of management and monitoring will be key along with communication towards sustainability. As a citizen it is difficult to influence or understand sustainability projects when they are not presented in an understandable way and when it is difficult to monitor development. In the end of the study a preliminary project on how an internal process in developing a new indicator system is presented.

Texto completoThe Algerian coastline is characterized by rich natural resources which offer important economic potential. Nonetheless, this part of the country finds itself victim of its own success and have to face a multitude of problems, especially the over-exploitation of its resources which have been amplified by a massive urbanization that is accelerated more and more, but also by pollution and a deterioration of the coastal areas. Moreover, and to best answer the numerous incoherencies that result from these multiple problems that hit the Algerian coastline, the state has to take necessary measures to find a right balance between the use of this space and its preservation. The thorough analysis of the institutional and legal framework put in place by the Algerian public authorities, proves the existence of a real inadequacy in terms of coastal governance, as well as incomplete judicial texts with regards to coastal preservation and development. The primary challenge of the government is to redress these shortcomings, by putting in place an integrated and global management policy of the coast that will allow a balanced and sustained development of this space
