This thesis was a post-implementation evaluation of Albuquerque’s Downtown 2010 Sector Development Plan. The Downtown Plan, commissioned in 2000, has a preset deadline of 2010 for meeting conditions outlined within its text. Therefore, the timing of this study was optimal. A triangulated, mixed methods methodology yielded data that were evaluated through an amalgamation of conformance and performance-based evaluation approaches. Six of the twelve categories, under which the Plan’s text is organized, were chosen as the focus of this study’s evaluation efforts. The categories are as follows: 1) Transportation and Parking; 2) Land Use and Design; 3) Healthy Neighborhoods; 4) Urban Housing; 5) Urban Retailing; and 6) Parks and Open Space. The findings of this study were specified to each of the six categories with additional findings listed later on. Overall, the results for each category fell between ‘somewhat unsuccessful’ to ‘successful’ based on a success spectrum created for typifying the evaluation results. Ultimately, this study found that the Plan was responsible for some significant and positive changes that occurred in Downtown Albuquerque over the past decade. These include the development of a number of various housing options, the prevention of commercial encroachment from the Downtown onto adjacent neighborhoods, and the creation of parking, bicycle, transit, and pedestrian facilities. A lack of various retail services and the failure to remediate the Fourth Street Mall are couple of the 2010 Plan implementation failures discovered by the evaluation. Additional findings spoke to the interplay between categories such as Urban Housing and Urban Retailing, which identified the need to synchronize the functions of these two interdependent markets. Further discoveries were derived from the collected data and their subsequent analysis.

A fifteen-year plan has been developed for cobia (Rachycentron canadum) aquaculture in Brazil. Guidelines are recommended for implementing reachable goals within a reasonable time frame, taking into consideration current status of technology development, environmental parameters, logistics and market. This plan reports potentialities, constraints and outlines the infrastructure and operational needs of a vertically integrated (hatchery and growout) cobia aquaculture industry in Brazil. Fingerlings availability, manpower, feeds among others essential requirements are evaluated and discussed. A pilot-scale operation plan including risk and financial analysis is also presented for the early development stages of the project. Asian countries, especially China, Taiwan and Vietnam, where approximately 50,000 tons are produced per year, currently dominate cobia aquaculture. Although production is expanding rapidly, combined yielding is still incipient. By 2025, an increasing global population is expected to raise seafood demand on 37% (FAO, 2010) and this plan is intended to profit from it. Therefore, the aim is to supply 2.5% of the global aquaculture marine fish demand by 2025, which will be approximately 66,750 tons of cobia per year according to our projections.

Seminario de título de Ingeniero Comercial mención Administración / En este documento se desarrolla un Plan de Negocios para un proyecto destinado a la producción y comercialización de un fertilizante orgánico que se elabora a partir de algas marinas. Este fertilizante, de origen biológico, es utilizado en los distintos cultivos orgánicos (fruta, verduras, uva vinífera y hierbas, entre otros), y posee características superiores a otros fertilizantes orgánicos. El mercado objetivo para este fertilizante está constituido tanto por los productores nacionales de alimentos orgánicos, quiénes venden sus productos en el mercado local y en el extranjero, y, en una segunda etapa, por productores en otros países, con los que no existan barreras aduaneras y con los cuáles el costo de transporte no afecta los márgenes de comercialización. En el mercado nacional se comercializa actualmente el “Fruticrop” que es importado por Chile Agro S.A., y se comercializa en distribuidoras de insumos para el agro con un precio de USD 17 (neto de IVA) el galón de 5 litros. Además existen otros productos similares, también importados, de un precio más elevado. Según los estudios realizados por la Universidad de los Lagos, las algas más adecuadas para su transformación en este fertilizante se encuentran en el litoral de la región de Magallanes y existen praderas de fácil explotación en la zona de Puerto Natales. Por lo tanto la extracción, recepción y procesamiento del alga se realizará en la zona de Puerto Natales. El producto final es trasladado por tierra hasta una bodega de despacho ubicada en Puerto Montt, desde dónde los distribuidores la transportan hacia sus locales instalados en los centros de consumo. Los volúmenes de producción están limitados por la estacionalidad de la extracción, que se realiza en los primeros tres meses del año. iii La planta se ha dimensionado para los volúmenes de venta estimados para los primeros 5 años de operación, la que se ampliaría según el comportamiento del mercado. Según los costos de extracción, procesamiento y transporte del producto al centro de despacho y el precio al consumidor, establecido usando como referencia el precio de los productos competitivos, se evalúa el negocio obteniéndose resultados auspiciosos.
