An Analysis of Oregon Department of Transportation Planned Highway Construction Projects for Selected /years from 1978 to 1992Fleming, Glen A. 29 November 1995 (has links)
Construction of highway projects is one of the most important and expensive state government functions. Highway construction projects bring revenue and jobs to the locales in which they are built, in addition to providing a better transportation infrastructure within or between communities, states or nations. In the state of Oregon, its Department of Transportation (ODOT) publishes a document forecasting planned highway construction expenditures for the next six years. This document was called, until recently the six-year highway program; it is the Department's primary programming document for planned highway construction expenditures in the next six years, with updates every two years. More recently the document has been renamed the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of planned highway construction projects within the state of Oregon from 1978 to 1992 by analyzing five selected ODOT six-year programs. Planned highway project expenditures were analyzed statistically, by county, to explain patterns of expenditure by project location, work type, highway level of importance, and changes in these over time. To analyze the significance of proposed highway expenditures by county, the cost of highway projects was compared and statistically measured against county factors such as population, area, total state highway mileage, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Data was collected from ODOT, the Oregon Secretary of State and the Center for Population Research and Census. Analysis consisted of simple grouping and sorting by program year, work type, etc., bivariate linear regression, and multiple linear regression. These analyses were performed on individual project data, and project data aggregated to the county level, for each of the five selected ODOT programs. The analyses determined that there was a positive correlation between relatively high programmed highway expenditures, large county populations (and population densities) and high total highway mileages per county in Oregon; in other words, the highway funds went where the people and state highways were. Furthermore, the analysis confirmed relative ranking hypotheses between highway expenditures work types, and the type of highway (LOI) the projects were to be performed on. These two secondary "ranking by type" hypotheses were: 1.) project work type, from most to least expensive: modernization, bridge, preservation, safety, and miscellaneous; 2.) LOI, from highest to least importance: interstate, statewide, regional, and statewide. Observations on the trends of expenditures over time showed that 1.) modernization expenditures in Oregon increased from 1978 to 1988, then declined in 1992 when preservation projects increased; and that 2.) interstate highways in Oregon received the highest funding overall from 1978 to 1988, but that from 1986 onward, statewide highways received more and more funding, and by 1992 were receiving more funding than the interstates.

An examination of public purchasing by certain local governments within the state of Indiana : ideal and actual / Public purchasing by certain local governments within the state of IndianaEdson, Samuel W. January 1978 (has links)
This thesis has examined the language of the various statutes regulating public purchasing by local Governments in the State of Indiana as it applies to non-bid and bid purchasing. The procedures outlined in those statutes were then compared to the purchasing practices observed in various local governments in northern Indiana.Attention was given to intergovernmental cooperation, centralization of purchasing, and to recommendations made by such authorities as the Council of State Governments and the National Association of State Purchasing Officials in an effort to determine if the language of the statutes and the procedures actually practiced by purchasers in Indiana local government provide for the taxpayer's receiving the most for his money.Finally, the thesis has provided a number of recommendations for modification of current law through inclusion of a proposed purchasing statute.

Die bemagtiging van vrywilligers by ‘n geloofsgebaseerde organisasieVan der Lingen, Jolanda 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M Social Work (Social Work))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / The welfare of communities depends to a large extent on the successful mobilisation of the voluntary
contributions (manpower, time, money) by religious based organisations. Poverty and all the other social
problems like unemployment and HIV/AIDS, that are associated with it, can only be addressed
effectively if volunteers are empowered by social workers to handle the problems in a sustaining way
(Annual report, Unit for Religion Development Research: 2002). In order to empower the volunteers, it is
important that social workers understand their role in the empowerment process.
The aim of the study is to clarify the task of the social worker regarding the empowerment of volunteers
at religious based organisations. This study is a descriptive study, seeing that the empowerment of
volunteers are described at the end of the research (Mouton, 2001:54). The study also contains elements
of an exploring (investigation) study, seeing that the situation has been explored in practice.
After completion of a literate study, an empirical investigation was done with the aim to investigate
principles of empowerment in practice. For the purpose of this study, the universe is regarded as the
social workers who work at religious based organisations in the working area of the Valcare Trust.
Deliberate selection, according to the non-probability test sampling as described by Babbie and Mouton
(2001:166-168) was used to obtain the test sample. The type of test sample selection is applicable where
the researcher is conversant with the research problem and the universe (Rubin and Babbie, 1993).
Deliberate selection is therefore based on the researcher’s judgement and the aim of the study (Rubin and
Babbie, 1993). The researcher is well conversant with the universe, seeing that the social workers are
working at religious based organisations that are registered on the database of the Valcare Trust.
Questionnaires, consisting of structured questions were compiled after completion of the literate study for
the purpose of the empirical study. The self administered questionnaires were supplied to the
respondents. Thirteen respondents took part in the empirical study.

The fiscal impact of new town and suburban development: an assessment of the effects of Reston and West Springfield on Fairfax County, VirginiaCuthbertson, Ida D. 25 August 2008 (has links)
This empirical study of governmental finances of Fairfax County, Virginia, for Fiscal Year 1971 compares revenues and expenditures for two types of communities within its boundaries -- Reston, a growing new town, and West Springfield, a conventional suburb. Among the ten services provided by the County to both communities, education accounted for the largest share of expenditures. On the revenue side the real estate tax was the principal source.
Reston's fiscal impact, the ratio of revenues to expenditures, is more favorable for the County than that of West Springfield because of the commercial-industrial tax base present in a new town which is absent from the conventional suburb and because Reston's school-age population differed from West Springfield's. For FY71 West Springfield did not produce revenues equal to expenditures made for it.
The reader is cautioned to not project from a single year's fiscal impact to other years or to other communities. Yet the results obtained from these contrasting types of communities within a single governmental jurisdiction cannot be ignored. Implications of this research and recommendations for Fairfax County, governmental decision-makers at local, state and federal levels, and for the Department of Housing and Urban Development are presented. Methodology for estimation of revenues and expenditures for Reston and West Springfield, criteria by which West Springfield was selected, and general descriptions of the two communities and services provided by the County are included. / Master of Urban Affairs

What issues does the Czech Republic face concerning offsets in the context of military purchasesPargac, Petr 09 1900 (has links)
The word "offset" in the broad sense represents reciprocal trade advantages that result from economic agreements. However, as a result of increasing competition among suppliers due to the reduced global defense market, declining military budgets, and other aspects, buyers are able to influence the conditions under which major defense programs are obtained. Not only unions, defense industries, trade associations, and public, but also EU is involved. The Czech Republic as a member of these organizations has to follow their rules as well, and their views and policies regarding offsets might be different. The objective of this project is to examine what issues, if any, the Czech Republic faces concerning offsets implementation in international trade. This study will discuss briefly the history of the Czech Republic's participation in offsets, and its current policy, if any, towards using offset practices. The Czech Republic's goals in offset practices, and government support for them, would be another area of research. The Czech Republic is an EU member and therefore is obliged to follow policies implemented by these institutions. Whether there is any connection between the Czech government policy and EU policies will also be examined. Specifically, the project will focus on what should be done in future offsets implementation, and what to be aware of.

A General Economic Study of Patterns of Government Expenditures in ThailandChandraprasert, Poch 08 1900 (has links)
An analysis of Thai government expenditures demonstrates that they expanded rapidly between 1900 and 1969, due primarily to rising prices and the extension of government functions, particularly during the post-war period. In contrast, the war effect had little influence on the growth of expenditures. During the period under study, Thai government expenditures were devoted largely to general, social, and economic services, with emphasis on transportation and communication, defense, agriculture, and education. Current expenditures (for defense, education, etc.) represented a higher percentage of total government expenditures than did capital expenditures (for public construction, social services, etc.). In general, the case of Thailand indicates that levels of government expenditure were higher in conjunction with greater emphasis on economic and social development.
