The impact of credible municipal budget planning and implementation on service delivery: a comparative study of two municipalitiesSikuza, Pumeza Ndabakazi Vuyelwa January 2016 (has links)
Poor service delivery in South Africa is a serious problem.The poor delivery of services by municipalities has left many communities dissatisfied and even led to service delivery protests. The delivery of services to municipalities is financed through municipal budgets and this study evaluated the quality of the municipal budgets of two municipalities with one budget being credible and the other not being credible. Selected municipal conditional grant spending as well as the findings of the Auditor General’s office against each municipality were assessed and compared with each other. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a municipality with a credible budget achieved more of its service delivery targets than one which had a budget which was not credible. The findings of this study were that the municipality with the credible budget performed better, in terms of conditional grant spending and against predetermined objectives, than the municipality with the budget which was not credible. Therefore, more concerted efforts should be made by all relevant spheres of government to improve the quality of municipal budgets as this will ultimately lead to improved service delivery.

An examination of the challenges in intergrated development planning and budget alignment at Amathole District Municipality, (Eastern Cape)Links, Ralph Ronald January 2015 (has links)
The traditional mandate of local government is to deliver sustainable services to communities. The evolution of local government has since put more emphasis on evidence based planning in the form of IDP and sound financial management. The relationship between the IDP and Budget is that, a) the IDP contains community needs, objectives and strategies on how these will be responded or dealt with by the municipality, and b) the budget is the financial plan to execute strategies that need to be employed. The purpose of the study was to examine challenges in integrated development plan and the budget alignment of Amathole District Municipality. The study moved from the premise that municipalities are different and ADM has been in the fore front in terms of producing IDP and Budget. The study therefore is based on the assumption that the Amathole District Municipality has challenges in the IDP and Budget alignment. The study proposed to give a background of the scholarly literature of the IDP and Budget of local government. The empirical survey and research methodology used in the study is described and explained in-depths and followed by data collection in the form of the questionnaire. The research findings of the empirical survey are then analysed and reported in statistical form.

Vymezování venkovských oblastí pomocí nástrojů síťové analýzy / Definition of rural areas through network analysisPROCHÁZKOVÁ, Monika January 2015 (has links)
This thesis deals with two issues. At first we define rural areas through network analysis according to the commuting areas of central cities which have over 10.000 inhabitans. On such a limited space we observe the differences between the municipalities on the basis of the economic characteristics of municipalities, especially in terms of budget or funds and their effectiveness of receive and use.

Previous issue date: 2006-05-31 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / The trophic ecology and bioenergetic aspects of most small fishes were not yet investigated,
although they are important components in the ictiofauna, largely contributing to the richness of
species and to the energy flow in aquatic ecosystems. The energy budgets and the food
selectivity of two species of small fishes, Hyphessobrycon eques and Serrapinnus notomelas,
were analysed. Natural populations were sampled from Monjolinho River, São Carlos, SP, in the
period between September to December 2005, and January to April 2006. Food selectivity
experiments and energy budgets experiments were performed in the laboratory using planktonic
and benthic invertebrates as food items. Food selection was evaluated by Paloheimo index, by
calculating the normalized forage ratio. Both species had preference and positive selection for
the dipteran larvae Aedes aegypti, Chironomus xanthus and Chaoborus sp., as well as for the
cladocerans Daphnia laevis and Ceriodaphnia silvestrii. They presented negative selection or
absence of selection for Hyalella meinerti and Cypricercus mucronata. The positive selection of
both species of fishes for the larvae of Aedes aegypti evidenced that they have potential to be
used in the biological control on dengue disease epidemies. The results obtained from the
energy balances revealed that S. notomelas has higher consumption and assimilation rates than
H. eques, however its production efficiency is lower as a consequence of higher metabolic
expenditures. On average the production efficiency was 53% for H. eques and 22% for S.
notomelas. The values obtained for the instantaneous net production efficiency of both species
were higher than those reported in the literature for carnivorous fishes (20%) and also higher
than those reported for natural populations of small fishes in tropical regions. / A ecologia trófica e os aspectos bioenergéticos da maioria dos peixes de pequeno porte são
desconhecidos, embora sejam componentes importantes da ictiofauna, contribuindo grandemente
para a riqueza de espécies, e para o fluxo de energia dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Os balanços
energéticos e a seletividade alimentar de duas espécies de peixes de pequeno porte,
Hyphessobrycon eques e Serrapinnus notomelas, foram estudados. As populações naturais foram
amostradas no rio Monjolinho, São Carlos, SP, entre setembro e dezembro de 2005, e janeiro a
abril de 2006. Os experimentos de seletividade alimentar e de balanço energético foram
realizados em laboratório, utilizando-se invertebrados planctônicos e bentônicos como itens
alimentares. Ambas espécies apresentaram seleção positiva para: larvas de Aedes aegypti,
Daphnia laevis, Ceriodaphnia silvestrii, Chironomus xanthus, Chaoborus sp, Oligochaeta e
ausência de seleção ou seleção negativa para Hyalella meinerti e Cypricercus mucronata. A
seleção alimentar positiva para as larvas de Aedes aegypti evidenciam estas espécies como
promissoras para o controle biológico preventivo de epidemias de dengue. O balanço energético
evidenciou que S. notomelas apresenta maior consumo e assimilação superior à de H. eques,
contudo a sua eficiência de produção é menor, devido aos gastos mais elevados com a
respiração. Ambas espécies tiveram eficiências instantâneas de produção líquida (K2i), mais
elevadas do que aquelas reportadas na literatura como referência padrão para peixes com
alimentação de origem animal, e também mais elevadas do que aquelas reportadas às populações
naturais de peixes de pequeno porte em região tropical.

Cumulative emissions reduction in the UK passenger car sector through near-term interventions in technology and useCalverley, Dan January 2013 (has links)
Responsible for one in eight tonnes of national CO₂ emissions, the passenger car sector is pivotal to delivering on UK climate change commitments to avoiding warming of more than 2°C. This thesis provides a clear and quantitative framing of emissions reduction at the sectoral level, by disaggregating global cumulative emissions budgets and pathways associated with a range of probabilities of exceeding 2°C. The relatively low level of abatement currently planned for the UK car sector, it is argued, needs to be significantly increased for the following reasons: (i) a scientific basis in cumulative emissions for sectoral mitigation makes carbon budgets, rather than end point targets (e.g. 2050), of the first importance; (ii) the currently high probability (63%) of exceeding 2°C underpinning the current UK carbon budgets is inconsistent with the UK government’s commitment to avoiding ‘dangerous climate change’; (iii) short-term emissions growth in industrialising countries considerably reduces remaining emissions space for industrialised countries; (iv) very limited scope exists for any large sector to cut emissions by less than the national mean rate of decarbonisation at higher rates of mitigation (around 10% p.a. by the 2020s). The consequences for emissions space in other sectors if international aviation and shipping mitigate less than the mean are quantified. For UK car sector emissions to remain consistent with a low probability of exceeding 2°C while observing these limitations, this analysis finds that planned sectoral mitigation over the coming decade needs to be increased fourfold. Means to address this expected abatement shortfall using readily available technology are investigated using a fleet emissions model to compare the effect on cumulative emissions of changes in a range of fleet parameters (including mean new car bulk emissions factors, vehicle age-proportionate annual distance travelled, and rates of fleet growth and turnover). Pushing existing car technology to the limit of expected short term efficiency gains is found to be insufficient to deliver a pathway with better than 56% probability of exceeding 2°C. Without reduction in aggregate demand for vehicle kilometres in the short term, lower probabilities of 2°C are placed beyond reach. The possibility of rapid step changes in levels of per capita car use is explored in qualitative interviews using narrative storyline scenarios. A range of coercive and voluntary interventions is considered in relation to their potential to overcome the structural and behavioural constraints to rapid transformation of personal travel.
