A presente pesquisa investiga dois momentos do planejamento metropolitano em Belo Horizonte a partir do estudo das experiências do PLAMBEL e do PDDI-RMBH, buscando compreendê-las à luz das transformações socioespaciais e econômicas da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH). O primeiro momento refere-se à elaboração e implantação do Plano de Desenvolvimento Integrado Econômico e Social da RMBH (PDIES-RMBH, de 1975) pelo PLAMBEL, autarquia estadual responsável pelo planejamento da RMBH durante o regime militar. Já o segundo momento diz respeito à retomada do planejamento da RMBH na década de 2000 a partir da constituição do novo arranjo institucional de gestão metropolitana e do processo de elaboração do Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Integrado da RMBH (PDDI-RMBH, de 2011), coordenado pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). Foram comparadas as propostas de desenvolvimento e de organização territorial dos dois planos com as configurações socioespaciais e a estrutura econômica da RMBH nos dois momentos distintos, assim como investigadas as eventuais relações entre os programas e projetos implantados e as transformações na organização metropolitana. O estudo também identificou os paradigmas de planejamento subjacentes à concepção metodológica dos dois planos, através da análise contextualizada da abordagem integrada e tecnocrática do PDIES e do enfoque participativo e transdisciplinar do PDDI. Quanto às propostas de ordenamento territorial dos planos, o estudo indicou que, enquanto a concepção do PDIES pautou-se numa compreensão instrumental do espaço metropolitano, no sentido de prepará-lo funcionalmente ao crescimento econômico e à industrialização a partir da implantação de grandes infraestruturas regionais, a concepção do PDDI avançou na direção de uma abordagem centrada na redução das desigualdades socioespaciais e na incorporação das diversidades socioambientais, a partir de uma estrutura territorial mais compacta e organizada em rede. Em relação às continuidades e rupturas entre o PLAMBEL e o novo modelo de planejamento da RMBH, concluiu-se que as perspectivas mais democráticas e inclusivas em gestação abrem maiores possibilidades para a construção coletiva de um processo de planejamento duradouro e legítimo do que o modelo autoritário vigente durante o regime militar, apesar dos entraves socioeconômicos e político-institucionais ao enfrentamento da questão metropolitana no Brasil. / This research investigates two different periods of metropolitan planning in Belo Horizonte, based on the study of the experiences of PLAMBEL and PDDI-RMBH, attempting to understand them in the light of the socio-spatial and economic transformations of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH). The first period refers to the development and implementation of the Plan for the Integrated Economic and Social Development of the RMBH (PDIES-RMBH, 1975) by PLAMBEL, state authority responsible for the planning of the RMBH during the military regime. The second period refers to the resumption of RMBH\'s metropolitan planning in the decade of 2000, through the creation of a new institutional arrangement of metropolitan management and of the Master Plan of Integrated Development of the RMBH (PDDI-RMBH, 2011), coordinated by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). The development and territorial organization proposals of both plans were compared with the socio-spatial configuration and economic structure of the RMBH in both periods. Incidental relations between the implemented programs and projects and the transformations in the organization of the RMBH were investigated. The study also identified the planning paradigms subjacent to the methodological conception of both plans, through a contextualized analysis of the PDIES\'s integrated technocratic approach and the PDDI\'s participative, transdisciplinary focus. As to the spatial planning proposals of both plans, the study showed that while the conception of the PDIES was based on an instrumental view of the metropolitan space, with the purpose of functionally preparing it for industrialization and economic growth through the implementation of large regional infrastructures, the conception of the PDDI was guided by an approach focused on reducing socio-spatial inequalities and incorporating RMBH\'s socio-environmental diversity through a more compact, network based territorial structure. Regarding the continuities and disruptions between the new planning model for the RMBH and PLAMBEL, it was concluded that the more democratic and more inclusive perspectives of the new moment open larger possibilities for the collective structuring of a long-lasting and legitimate planning process than the authoritarian model which governed during the military regime, in spite of the socioeconomic and political-institutional obstacles to tackling the metropolitan question in Brazil.

The motivation for this research assumes that the precarious and deficient territorial planning and policies for the different organs of the metropolitan region of São Paulo, are thus, inefficient and resources wasting, because of the lack of a coordinated structure, supported by a systemic vision. This research is divided in two parts. The first part with the historical context of the metropolis thematic, it defines the concepts of territorial structuring, locally and globally, and formulate consolidated examples. Understanding the compo-sition beyond the metropolitan boundary conflicts, or administrative boundaries, through interdisciplinary parameters and concepts, derived mainly from urban economics and ecology, in order to find answers to systemic issues that concern the metropolitan planning. Also, we analyze technical and political experiences of territorial planning in metropolitan areas: Randstad in the Netherlands, and the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. This analysis enables us to dialogue with these different ways of territorial cooperation, for these metropolis of the present, designing the renewed approach of good administration. Thus, we will draw key points through plans and already consolidated experiences in plans for this territorial scale. The second part of this research shows the ways gone through in structuring the metropolis of São Paulo. In order to apprehend the reality of São Paulo we found all aspects that concern territorial planning, from the territorial formation of the city to the trajectory of Emplasa, the São Paulo Metropolitan Planning Company, as well as implications of legal and political status and finally possible improvements as Statute of the City and PAC 2. / É consenso que os limites político-administrativos não delimitam satisfatoriamente a metrópole enquanto ente socioeconômico e físico. Esta pesquisa parte do pressuposto da precariedade e da carência de planejamento e políticas territoriais pelos distintos órgãos da região metropolitana paulistana, sendo assim, ineficiente e desperdiçando recursos por falta de uma estruturação coordenada, uma visão sistêmica. A primeira parte trata de inserir o contexto histórico onde a temática metropolitana se apresenta, definir os conceitos de estruturação territorial, local e global, e extrair exemplos consolidados. Entenderemos a composição metropolitana além dos conflitos de contorno, ou de fronteiras administrativas, através de parâmetros e conceitos interdisciplinares, extraídos principalmente da economia e da ecologia urbana, onde é possível obter respostas às questões sistêmicas que tangem o planejamento metropolitano. Também analisaremos experiências de viés técnico e político, de planejamento em áreas metropolitanas, do Randstad- Holanda, e da Área Metropolitana de Barcelona. Esta análise nos possibilita a interlocução entre diversas maneiras de cooperação territorial pensadas na atualidade, concebendo o enfoque renovado da boa administração. Deste modo, extrairemos pontos chaves através de planos e relatos de experiências consolidadas em planejamento para essa escala territorial. A segunda parte aponta os caminhos percorridos na estruturação da metrópole de São Paulo. Adentrando essa realidade, constatamos todos os aspectos que tangem o planejamento, desde o que diz respeito à sua formação territorial até a trajetória do órgão de governança constituído, Emplasa, assim como implicações do status jurídico-político, e finalmente, possíveis avanços adquiridos recentemente como; o Estatuto da Cidade e o PAC 2. Porém, esses instrumentos ainda são pensados sob uma antiga base de diálogos municipalistas, desconsiderando a visão sistêmica metropolitana, agindo de forma fragmentada e descoordenada na aplicação dos investimentos.

M. Tech. Cost and Management Accounting / This study analysed perceptions on the application of cost accounting in the budgeting process, a case of the City of Tshwane municipality. The focus was generally recognised costing techniques used. Employee perceptions were analysed to determine whether recognised costing techniques were being applied, and if so, were those costing techniques being efficiently and effectively applied. An analysis of the employee perceptions of the reliability of the currently implemented costing techniques for the preparation of budget estimates, together with the employees' perceptions of management's implementation and maintenance of the budget estimates as required by legislation governing municipal budgeting process was also carried out.

M. Tech. Public Administration. / The study investigates the management of quality of service delivery in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan municipality focusing on electricity, water provision and refuse collection. In recent years, South African consumers expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of public service delivery by means of protests. Service delivery protests have, however, not occurred to a significant extent in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan municipality though it is one of the world's largest cities. Such a state of affairs warrants research to establish how the municipality manages the quality of public service delivery.

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School. / The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality was established on 5 December 2000 and incorporated 13 previous local authorities into a category 'A' metropolitan municipality. The City of Tshwane's three departments: Finance, Information & Management and Public Works & Infrastructure Development have been experiencing a high employee turnover since January 2005. The key research objectives of this study are (1) to determine the cause of high turnover rate, (2) how the City of Tshwane can retain talented employees, (3) to reduce employee costs, (4) to build capacity and (4) to turn the City of Tshwane into a most desired employer. It is recommended that the City of Tshwane devise organisational policies and practices that increase the excitement of employees with regard to their work in ways that will result in a funneling of their minds and efforts towards the goals of the organisation.
