The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between city branding and community sport focusing on the role of citizens. Community sport means more than just organized sport events, covering all of physical activities, recreation, and leisure that are based on the region. Therefore, Community-based Sport and Recreational Physical Activity (CSRPA) is closely related to urban experience and quality of life of local residents. Specifically, the objectives of this research are to: (1) evaluate the perceptions of internal stakeholders of city branding through CSRPA; and (2) examine the possibility of considering CSRPA as branding opportunities. Participatory city branding theory provided the most relevant theoretical frameworks to shed light on co-creative image building process by leveraging citizens’ participation to CSRPA. The methodology used in the study was case study with the city of Ottawa, Canada. City representatives (n=17) took part in semi-structure interviews to elucidate their perceptions and lived experiences associated with Ottawa city branding. Citizens (n=127) participated in an online survey to express their voices surrounding city brands and sport participation. The findings of the study suggest that CSRPA constitutes an interesting opportunity to contribute to co-creative city branding by incorporating citizens’ voices and promoting collaborative public governance.

Os governos federal, estaduais e municipais têm agora de apresentar evidências da sua eficácia, eficiência, efetividade e ética na administração pública. A sociedade brasileira hoje em dia pode supervisionar várias instâncias da administração pública e aumentar o controle social. Esta pesquisa avalia a percepção dos auditores públicos externos no Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (TCE-RS) sobre a qualidade, utilidade e suficiência das informações, sistemas e procedimentos disponíveis. Uma amostra com 131 auditores respondeu um questionário e entrevistas semiestruturadas foram aplicadas a 10 coordenadores de auditoria nas unidades regionais do TCE-RS. Os resultados mostram que os auditores e coordenadores acreditam que os dados disponíveis ao público têm frequência e formato adequado, mas é insuficiente para o efetivo controle social, o que é parcialmente explicado pela falta de compreensão do público e pela ausência de uniformidade entre os relatórios do governo e portais. No entanto, os auditores e coordenadores percebem uma crescente utilização de instrumentos e sistemas de transparência pública, e acreditam que estes sejam úteis para a execução de suas tarefas internas, em particular quando a informação é agrupada. / In recent years the Brazilian government has increased the disclosure of public institutions data, as required by the Access to Information Law. Federal, state and city governments now have to present evidence of their efficacy, efficiency, effectiveness and ethics in public administration. The Brazilian society can oversight many instances of the public administration and increase its social control. This research evaluates the perception of the external public auditors at the Auditor’s Court of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (TCE-RS) about the quality, sufficiency, and usefulness of the available information, systems and procedures. A sample of 131 auditors responded a survey and semi-structured interviews were applied to 10 audit coordinators in each of the TCE-RS' regional units. Results show that auditors and coordinators believe that the data available to the public have adequate frequency and format, but it is insufficient to effective social control, which is partially explained by the lack of comprehension of the public and by the absence of uniformity among government's reports and websites. Nevertheless, auditors and coordinators perceive an increasing use of public transparency instruments and systems, and find it useful to their internal tasks, in particular when the information is gathered together.

No entanto, muitas vezes os interesses particulares dos gestores podem influenciar suas tomadas de decisão, o que acaba por distanciá-las do interesse público. Adaptada de idéias já utilizadas em organizações privadas, a governança pública surge, então, como um mecanismo que minimiza conflitos de interesses entre gestores e sociedade, possibilitando, pela aplicação dos princípios de transparência e accountability, um maior controle e fiscalização das ações da gestão pública. O mundo moderno abriu seus olhos para a importância da governança, fato que vem sendo demonstrado pela promulgação de leis sobre transparência pública, e publicação de estudos e manuais a respeito de boas práticas de governança em todo o mundo. O objetivo geral do estudo foi avaliar os relatórios de gestão e demais informações prestadas por uma amostra de cinco Universidades Públicas Federais de acordo com boas práticas de governança pública. Para isso, foram selecionadas boas práticas publicadas por órgãos influentes para análise das informações divulgadas pelas universidades, e, adicionalmente, realizada a avaliação dos portais de acesso à informação de acordo com a Lei 12.527 de 2011. Os resultados demonstram uma adequação média de 60% à lei de acesso à informação e 45,7% de aderência às boas práticas de governança, o que indica a necessidade de maiores investimentos das universidades na adoção de boas práticas de governança e na adequação de seus portais à lei de acesso à informação. / The function of public administration is to manage public resources efficiently, seeking the common good, that is, with the goal to achieve the interests of these resources owners, society. However, often managers particular interests can influence their decision-making, which ultimately distancing them from the public interest. Adapted from ideas already used in private organizations, public governance arises, then, as a mechanism that minimizes conflicts of interest between managers and society, allowing for the application of the principles of transparency and accountability, greater control and supervision of public management actions. The modern world has opened its eyes to the importance of governance, a fact that has been demonstrated by the enactment of laws on public transparency, and publication of studies and manuals on good governance practices worldwide. The overall objective of the study was to evaluate the management reports and other information provided by a sample of five Federal Public Universities in accordance with good public governance practices. For this, we selected good practices, published by influential organs, for analysis of information provided by the universities, and additionally performed the evaluation of information access portals according to Law 12.527 of 2011. The results show an average adequacy 60% to the access to information law and 45.7% of adherence to good governance practices, which indicates the need for further investments of universities in the adoption of good governance practices and the adequacy of its portals to the access to information law.

Recent developments around the sharing economy bring to the fore questions of governability and broader societal Benefit-and subsequently the need to explore effective means of public governance, from nurturing, on the one hand, to restriction, on the other. As sharing is a predominately urban phenomenon in modern societies, cities around the globe have become both locus of action and central actor in the debates over the nature and organization of the sharing economy. However, cities vary substantially in the interpretation of potential opportunities and challenges, as well as in their governance responses. Building on a qualitative comparative analysis of 16 leading global cities, our findings reveal four framings of the sharing economy: "societal endangerment","societal enhancement", "market disruption", and "ecological Transition". Such framings go hand in hand with patterned governance responses: although there is considerable heterogeneity in the combination of public governance strategies, we find specific configurations of framings and public governance strategies. Our work reflects the political and ethical debates on various economic, social, and moral issues related to the sharing economy, and contrib-utes to a better understanding of the field-level institutional Arrangements-a prerequisite for examining moral behavior of sharing economy organizations.

This essay maps and analyze the dynamic interaction between the regional and municipal levels. This is based on the case of Region Jönköpings län. The thesis is a qualitative document study that will focus on he municipalities and the region as unitary public actors and their public policy in the development area. The study material is public documents of the municipalities and the region that relates to municipl/regional development.  The essay is based on previous research dealing with New regionalism, Rescaling, Re-territorialization, the Competition state (konkurrensstaten) and New Public Governance. In addition, previous research also handles unity as a factor for regional development and local/regional conditions. Based on these, the study's theoretical approaches and frameworks have constructed and formed the basis of the interpretations for the study's issues.  The conclusions of the study are that the dynamics, attitudes and interactions between the region and its municipalities takes place in a complex system where ach actor's conditions, objectivies and ambitions determine how they view themselves, each other and the region as a whole. The conditions can include anything from the geographical situation, demographics, business composition and communications with the rest of the region. In addition, the municipalities' efforts to be competitive, attractive and distinctive can be linked to the societal developments of the past decades. It is about the impact explained by New regionalism, New Public Governance and the Competition state on the local/regional landscape within which the municipalities and the region reside, as well as creating a landscape where several actors, on several levels, share the same commitments, responsibilities and powers. Which gives us a complex game between regional unity and leadership, and a municipal effort to be singular.

Denna studie handlar om styrningen av Stadsutvecklingsprojektet i Varbergs kommun. Studien syftar till att undersöka vilka styridéer som uttrycks i styrdokumenten för Stadsutvecklingsprojektet och om Varbergs kommun har följt post-NPM-trenderna i styrningen av projektet sett till vilka styridéer som uttrycks i styrdokumenten. Post-NPM-trenderna Tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning, New Public Governance och Public Value Management används tillsammans med New Public Management som idealtyper för att analysera styrdokumenten. Genom att undersöka detta får vi djupare kunskaper om hur förändringen och utvecklingen som skett av den offentliga styrningen senaste decennierna - genom att olika former av styrning har introducerats och trendat - har påverkat styrningen av en svensk kommun. Resultatet visar att styridéer från alla styrformer som nämns ovan uttrycks i styrdokumenten men att idéer från styrformerna inom post-NPM och speciellt Tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning är frekvent förekommande. Detta visar i sin tur på att Varbergs kommun har följt post-NPM-trenderna i styrningen av Stadsutvecklingsprojektet sett till vilka styridéer som uttrycks i styrdokumenten.

Bakgrund: Bakgrund: Under de senaste 20 åren har svensk offentlig sektor präglats av konkurrensprövning genom privatisering av tidigare offentlig sektor. Det skapar en ny marknad där privata och offentliga aktörer skall samverka under statlig samordning och övervakning. Stockholm stads gymnasie- och hemtjänstmarknad är två exempel på kvasimarknader där staten står som finansiär av välfärdstjänsten samtidigt som den utförs av både privata och offentliga aktörer. Tidigare forskning belyser den problematik som uppstår då staten övergår från att vara en primär producent till en övervakande roll. Då statens roll förändras krävs tydligare regler och strukturer för att kunna samordna och styra kvasimarknader. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att beskriva och förstå hur kvasimarknader styrs, med avseende på upplevda verksamhetskrav och uppföljning. Genomförande: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie med ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv. Empirin har inhämtats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer om hur beslutsfattare och marknadsaktörer upplever Stockholm stads gymnasie- och hemtjänstmarknad. Slutsatser: Studien konstaterar att hemtjänstmarknaden, som styrs via tydliga avtal, ger större möjlighet för insyn i verksamheterna och tydligare styrverktyg för Stockholms stad. På gymnasiemarknaden är det svårare för Stockholm att påverka verksamheten hos friskolor då de endast svarar mot Skolinspektionen. Det som ligger till grund för kvasimarknadens funktionalitet och effektivitet beror på det förtroende och tillit som finns mellan beslutsfattare, utförare och kund. Nyckelord: New Public Management, Offentlig styrning, Kvasimarknad, Interorganisato­riska relationer, Ekonomistyrning, Transaktionskostnadsteori. / Background: Over the past 20 years, the Swedish public sector has been characterized by competition through the increasing privatization of public welfare. It creates a new market situation where private and public sector are to co-operate under governmental coordination and monitoring. Stockholm city upper secondary school and home care market are two examples of quasimarkets where the state stands as a financier of the welfare service while it is carried out by both private and public actors. Previous research illustrates the problems that arise when the state changes from being a primary producer to a supervisory role. As the state's role changes it requires clear rules and structures in order to coordinate and control the quasimarkets. Objective: The study aims to describe and understand how quasimarkets are governed, in regard to percieved business requirements and monitoring. Design: The study is a qualitative case study with a hermeneutic perspective. The empirical data has been collected through semi-structured interviews on how policy makers and market actors are experiencing the upper secondary school and home care market. Conclusion: The study notes that the home care market, which is governed by clear agreements and contracts, provides greater transparency between policy makers and market actors. Thus creating better conditions for the usage of management control for the city of Stockholm. In the upper secondary market it is difficult for the city of Stockholm to affect the operations of private schools since they are governed by the Swedish School Inspectorate. The basis for the functionality and efficiency of quasimarkets relies on the confidence and trust that exists between policy makers, market actors and customers. Keywords: New Public Management, Public Governance, Quasimarket, Interorganizational Relations, Management Control, Transaction Cost Economics.

A reforma gerencial propôs maior eficiência da Administração Pública Federal, mediante a sua reestruturação e a implantação de mecanismos de planejamento, gestão e de governança focados na cidadania. Nos anos 2000, foi estabelecido um sistema de regulação, supervisão e avaliação do ensino superior, articulado entre o Ministério da Educação e as Universidades, exigindo dessas organizações a elaboração de Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI). Neste trabalho, foi realizada a análise dos resultados do PDI da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) referente ao período de 2011-2015. Para tanto, apresentou-se um breve histórico da administração pública brasileira, fez-se um estudo sobre os instrumentos de planejamento estratégico e de gestão governamentais e descreveu-se a estrutura e o sistema de avaliação das instituições federais de ensino superior. Por fim, foram sugeridas melhorias para a elaboração dos futuros planos estratégicos da UFRGS. / The management reform proposed greater efficiency of the Federal Public Administration, through its restructuring and the implementation of planning, management and governance mechanisms focused on citizenship.

These processes influence the public policy formation and implementation, public members‘ status and country‘s economic and social situation. There were reviewed factors of NPM‘s emergence, analyzed NPM concept, the basic principles and interference of implementation, considered the evolution process from NPM to the new public governance and the NPM origins, specificity and the set of elements. There were discussed about new public governance properties in these days and implementation problems as well as problems‘ solutions and capabilities. NPM, managerial principles aiming in the public sector, determined the range of public management changes, pursue the public management processes, improving the efficiency and quality of public services. Due to measures of implementation and the lack of appropriate environment, NPM influence some dysfunctions, which caused a necessity of conpet‘s evolution. NPM has evolved into the new public governance, which elevated the problem of efficiency and democracy coordination and importance of social welfare. To modernize public management there is necessary to combine different theoretical concepts and search for the most appropriate implementation‘s measures and opportunities.

Entende-se por CPS as aquisições de bens, contratações de serviços, obras e reformas com critérios de sustentabilidade, os quais envolvem fatores econômicos, ambientais e sociais. Apesar de o governo federal envidar esforços para cumprir a determinação constitucional e os acordos internacionais na construção de uma sociedade sustentável, as CPS estão muito distantes de saírem da exceção para tornarem-se regra. Crê-se que a governança pública possa impulsionar as aquisições públicas no Brasil. Por governança pública, entende-se a forma pela qual as organizações públicas são dirigidas, e que envolvem o relacionamento entre a sociedade, a alta administração e os servidores públicos para atender as demandas sociais. O tema é explorado na perspectiva das relações dos atores que compõem a rede de governança das CPS, como também, na avaliação de desempenho das organizações da administração pública federal em relação as suas compras e práticas sustentáveis. Entende-se por práticas sustentáveis as ações que objetivam mudanças de comportamento institucional em prol da sustentabilidade. Assim, a pesquisa se propõe a analisar como um modelo de Governança Pública para processos de compras sustentáveis pode alterar o volume das aquisições de produtos e de práticas sustentáveis nas organizações públicas. Para esse fim, a pesquisa toma como base as aquisições de um Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. A pesquisa baseia-se na abordagem metodológica sistêmica; é aplicada quanto a finalidade; tem objetivo exploratório e metodológico; serve-se do método de avaliação de dados misto; e vale-se da estratégia de estudo de caso único. As técnicas de coleta de dados são bibliográficas, documental, entrevistas e questionário. As técnicas de análise e interpretação dos dados são alicerçadas na análise de redes sociais. A partir deste constructo teórico, a pesquisa propõe um modelo de governança para fomentar as compras e práticas sustentáveis, que redefine os papeis dos atores da governança sustentável e concebe indicadores e o índice de governança de compras sustentáveis (iGovCS). / ABSTRACT Sustainable public procurement (SPP) incorporate the international effort in favor of sustainability by way of sustainable production and consumption from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It is understood by SPP the acquisition of goods, hiring of services, construction and reconstruction within sustainability criteria, to which involve economic, social and environmental factors. Although the federal government makes great efforts towards the completion of the constitutional determination and the international deals to the building of a sustainable society, the SPP are still far away from becoming the rule, instead of the exception. It is believed that the public governance can boost the public acquisitions in Brazil. For public governance, it is understood the way in which the public organizations are managed, and involve the relationship between society, the high administration and public servants to attend to the social demands. The theme is explored through the perspective of the relationships of the actors that take place in the SPP governance web, but also in the performance evaluation of the organizations of the federal public administration in relation to its sustainable procurement and practices. It is understood by sustainable practices the actions that have the objective to change the institutional behavior on behalf of sustainability. Furthermore, this research will analyze how a Public Governance model of processes to sustainable procurement can alter the volume of product acquisitions and sustainable practices in public organizations. For this purpose, the research has as its foundation, the acquisitions of a Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology. The research is based on systemic methodological approach; applied to the final intent; has exploratory and methodological objective; uses the mixed data evaluation method; and bases on unique case study strategy. Data collection methods are bibliography, documentary, interview and questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation data techniques are based on social network. From this theoretical construct, the research proposes a model of governance to encourage the sustainable procurement and practices, that redefines the roles of the sustainable governance actors and design pointers and the Sustainable Governance Indicators.
