A presente pesquisa versa sobre a participação da coletividade como instrumento de limitação da discricionariedade nas decisões administrativas em matéria ambiental, sustentando que a participação ativa da coletividade nos processos decisórios teria o condão de reduzir a margem de discricionariedade da decisão administrativa, a qual ganharia em correção, em segurança e em legitimidade, constituindo expressão da democracia direta. Tendo como ponto de partida a classificação do meio ambiente como direito fundamental, verifica-se como são formadas as decisões discricionárias nas questões ambientais em meio à sociedade de risco, concluindo que as peculiaridades do bem ambiental têm o condão de limitar a discricionariedade da Administração Pública. Ademais, para que a participação seja efetiva, verifica-se a necessária mudança de pensamento do indivíduo acerca das formas de utilização e consideração da natureza, sendo a educação o instrumento capaz de transformar o agir humano sob a ótica dos princípios ecológicos, a fim de dar eficácia à cidadania ambiental. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-07-10T14:55:35Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Fernanda Favarini Odorissi.pdf: 1479795 bytes, checksum: 10ba31e0fd3ecfe82ac4b275ba7107fe (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-10T14:55:35Z (GMT).

Principles of administrative proceedings, abstract Focus of this diploma thesis is the issue of basic principles of administrative proceedings, but not in terms of basic procedure principles of administrative authorities as they are set out in § 2 to 8 of the Administrative Procedure Code, but in terms of procedural principles of administrative proceedings, as rules of procedure before administrative authorities. These principles represent a key element for understanding and interpretation of the procedural process in an administrative proceeding, but Administrative Procedure Code does not contain an express codification of these principles in its text. Goal of this thesis is to perform a detailed analysis of individual principles both individually and in context. The aforementioned principles of administrative proceedings usually occur in the form of mutually ambivalent pairs and their application during administrative proceedings presents many conflicting issues which stems from their implicitly general nature. The methodological basis of this thesis is the method of textual hermeneutics and general empirical-analytical paradigm based on the source material, which consists mainly of judgments and resolutions of the Supreme Administrative Court and is supplemented by relevant literature.

This work examines the legal effects of a declaration of a state of emergency under the Public Safety Act 3 of 1953 and the exercise of legislative and administrative powers pursuant thereto. The general basis of judicial control over executive action and the various devices used to limit or oust the court's jurisdiction are set out and explained. Against this background, the courts' performance of their supervisory role under the special circumstances of emergency rule is critically surveyed and assessed. The legal issues raised by the exercise of emergency powers is examined at the various levels of their deployment: first, the declaration of a state of emergency; second, the making of emergency regulations; third, their execution by means of administrative action, including detention, banning, censorship and the use of force. The major cases concerning emergency issues, both reported and unreported, are analysed in their appropriate contexts, and an overview provided of the effects of emergency regulations and orders on such freedoms as South Africans enjoy under the 'ordinary' law. Finally, an attempt is made to assess how these decisions have affected the prospect of judicial review of executive action, both in the emergency context and in the field of administrative law generally. The conclusion is that, however far the Appellate Division may appear to have gone towards eliminating the role of the law in the emergency regime, grounds remain for the courts to exercise a more vigorous supervisory role should they choose to do so in future.
