It has been universally recognized since the end of World War I that every state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. Therefore, it may grant or refuse to aircraft of other states the right to fly into its airspace. [...]

Um dos eixos dos projetos de expansão dos aeroportos é a instalação de indústrias sem fumaça no situo aeroportuário caracterizando o que vem sendo denominado de "aeroporto industrial". Este trabalho apresenta a caracterização do aeroporto industrial e suas implicações sócio-econômicas e ambientais, bem como revisa o processo decisório da implantação do Aeroporto Industrial de Viracopos - Campinas-SP. Para tanto, optou-se por trabalhar com a metodologia do Apoio Multicritério à Decisão (AMCD), por sua capacidade de auxiliar as etapas de estruturação e avaliação de problemas complexos e de interesses conflitantes, e de tratar tanto de aspectos objetivos quanto subjetivos existentes no contexto decisório. É esperado que uma das contribuições deste estudo seja a de que os especialistas e decisores passem a considerar a aplicação do AMCD no contexto de suas decisões sobre problemas e oportunidades tanto de maior quanto de menor complexidade. / Abstract: The importance of airports has been based on some irreversible forces and trends like airplanes with bigger and bigger cargo capacity and greater speed, advanced telecommunications technology, and the globalization of commerce. One of these axises concerning airports expansion projects is the implementation of smokeless industries in industrial parks built within the airport sites. This dissertation aims at characterizing these airport industrial parks and their social, economic and environmental impacts, as well as reviewing the decision process of implementing Viracopos Industrial Airport. The methodology chosen to review that decision is the Multicriteria Decision Aid (MCDA), due to its logic of structuring and of evaluating complex and conflicting problems, and of dealing with the objective as well as the subjective aspects existing in a decision context. It is expected that one of the contributions of this study is that specialists and decision makers consider using the MCDA methodology in making their decisions about less or more complex problems. / Mestrado / Transportes / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

The Vancouver Airport Planning Committee met from 19 73 to 1976 to examine the implications of an expansion of Vancouver International Airport proposed by the Ministry of Transport. The committee was an experiment for it included participation by eleven agencies, including eight from all levels of gov-^ ernment and three non-governmental organizations (two from industry, one from the general public). The committee concluded its activities with the release of a report presenting three decision options for further public discussion. The report is remarkable in the degree of disagreement among agencies that it displays. This study first presents four political models of public participation in the planning process. One of the models, agency-public joint planning, very closely matches the Airport Planning Committee. Then a number of normative criteria for public participation are developed, against which the experience of the committee can be evaluated. The case of the Vancouver Airport Planning Committee is presented, based on readings of reports, minutes of meetings, correspondence, memoranda, related documents, and interviews with participants. Application of the criteria to this committee process reveals a number of shortcomings, most serious of which was the failure to develop and assess alternatives which "expressed the full range of values represented on the committee. Further interpretation of the reasons for difficulties encountered in the process, reveals that the central factor was the narrow and rigid policy position adopted, by the Ministry of Transport when other agencies perceived the issue to be much broader. The narrow policy position was the result of an interpretation of the role of the committee as only to advise on measures to mitigate the specific runway proposed by MOT. Some other agencies believed that the committee's role was much broader, to study and advise on a number of alternative policies for managing the growing demand for air transportation services. Fundamental differences of values separated the agencies involved, so that the disagreement on the nature of the process was never overcome. Instead conflict characterized the committee process, conflict which is reported and recorded in the Final Report. Despite these problems the Airport Planning Committee was basically successful in expressing the range of views, and in generating relevant information on the runway proposal. Public participation was successful in stating a value position (characterized as the 'conserver' viewpoint) which governmental agencies did not express. However the committee process demonstrated an inherent flaw in the agency-public joint planning model. When a diverse set of values is represented within a small problem-solving group dealing with a single issue the necessary conditions for evaluation, bargaining, and decision do not exist. Conflict resolution must take place at the political level; it must not be expected of such a group. The appropriate and important role of such a group is to develop the relevant range of alternatives and to assess their impact on the values represented. This information must then be passed to the political level for bargaining and decision-making. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
