The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of developing a scale for rating a public school superintendent in Texas in terms of his adherence to selected characteristics of administrative leadership. A secondary problem is to verify the hypothesis that very few schools in Texas, if any, use a rating scale to evaluate the performance of the superintendent. The purpose of this study will be to identify a set of administrative leadership characteristics which are accepted by members of Boards of Trustees, professors of educational leadership, and superintendents.

This study examines and describes the perceptions of human resource professionals about their contribution and that of their departments to strategic planning and management. Human resource leaders from organizations with five hundred or more employees in Southern California responded to this survey. The significance of this study is its potential to increase our understanding of the contribution of the human resource function to strategic planning.

Uma pesquisa de campo foi realizada em municípios selecionados para testar a robustez do modelo e validar a metodologia proposta. A área de abrangência da pesquisa envolveu os vinte municípios que compõem a bacia hidrográfica do rio Sorocaba - UGRHI - 10. Para mensurar o nível de gestão dos resíduos praticado pelos municípios foi proposto o IGR - Índice de Gestão de Resíduos. Este índice estabelece parâmetros que possibilitam a comparação entre os níveis de gestão praticados nas localidades pesquisadas. A aplicação do modelo permite diagnosticar a situação dos resíduos urbanos nos municípios em relação à geração, coleta, tratamento e destinação final dos resíduos municipais, bem como, o nível estratégico e tecnológico de suas gestões. Pretende-se com este trabalho gerar uma base de dados e informações que possam contribuir na formulação de políticas públicas, estratégias e ações voltadas para a melhoria e otimização dos sistemas avaliados. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a metodologia desenvolvida mostrou-se adequada para a avaliação proposta. A aplicação do modelo e da metodologia pode favorecer o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento da situação dos resíduos e contribuir para a minimização dos impactos ambientais e sociais criados pela geração e destinação final inadequada dos resíduos sólidos urbanos municipais. / Abstract: The present work aims at the development of an integrated solid urban waste management model highlighting the sustainability and the development of a methodology for evaluation of municipal waste management system. A field work was conducted in the cities selected for testing and validating the proposed methodology. The research range included the 20 cities that form the basin of the Sorocaba River - UGRHI - 10. The IGR - Waste Management Rating was proposed to measure the waste management level conducted by the cities. This rating establishes patterns that allow the comparison between the waste management levels conducted in the researched locations. The application of the model allows to diagnose the condition of the urban waste in the cities regarding its generation, its collecting, its treatment and its final destination of the city waste, as well as the strategy and technology level of their management. This work intends to generate data and information base that can contribute to the creation of public policies, strategies and actions directed to improvement and optimization of the evaluated systems. The obtained results showed that the methodology developed was appropriate to the proposed evaluation. The application of the model and methodology can promote the development and improvement of the waste condition and contribute to the minimization of the environmental impacts caused by the inadequate generation and final destination of the solid urban waste. / Doutorado / Termica e Fluidos / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
