Examining the representativeness of Georgia's state water plan

Marshall, Amanda Christine 18 November 2010 (has links)
This thesis provides an analysis of the Georgia statewide regional water planning process; a system deemed to be operating in the adaptive management framework. The principal focus of this analysis is to detail a novel paradigm capable of dynamic response to changing resource demands which stems from adaptive management principles and ensures representativeness. The paradigm extends directly from application of the theories of bounded rationality and adaptive management. Development of the framework is accomplished through application of theory and correlated empirical analysis. Extreme drought conditions signal a punctuated-equilibrium effecting statewide water resource management which in turn drives the issuance of an executive-level directive to prioritize and effectively manage critical state water resources. This study evolves directly from analysis of the current effort to establish unified regional water plans which address rapid population growth, and escalating water resource conflicts with Alabama and Florida while satisfying priorities established within the executive directive. Fundamental to this analysis is the survey of currently seated regional water planning council members. The essential function of the survey is to provide a qualitative assessment of the perceptions of appointed council members. These perceptions influence water management techniques prescribed by the final policy. While this is a fuzzy correlation, a primary function of this analysis is to quantify the strength of correlation between perceptions and developed policy. This survey details appointed council member attitudes and attributes and affords analysis of future decision making outcomes. The method prescribed herein unifies multi-level decision making processes under a dynamic adaptive management paradigm, and is intended to link the regional water planning processes with continuous annual assessment in order to achieve the pluralistic benefits of adaptive management decision making.

21 anos de educação pública em São Paulo : um estudo sobre a Secretaria da Educação do Estado sob a perspectiva da Teoria do Equilíbrio Pontuado (1996 - 2016) / Vinte e um anos de educação pública em São Paulo

Simioni, Christiane January 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Prof. Dr. Salomão Barros Ximenes / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas, São Bernardo do Campo, 2018. / A presente dissertação visa analisar sob uma perspectiva longitudinal, as políticas públicas educacionais produzidas pela Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (SEESP), no período compreendido entre 1996 a 2016. Foi escolhida por ter a maior rede pública de ensino do Brasil e por permanecer sob o comando de um mesmo partido político por mais de duas décadas. O recorte analítico foi definido porque a literatura a respeito demonstra que são escassas as pesquisas de análise simultânea dos ciclos orçamentários e das políticas públicas. Não obstante, as análises das variações na aplicação de recursos orçamentários representam importante fonte de dados para identificar a alteração ou manutenção da execução de distintas políticas públicas. Considerando esse contexto, a pesquisa parte do estudo do orçamento público e das políticas públicas, para evidenciar os momentos que resultaram em modificações atípicas da trajetória das políticas educacionais observadas por meio da execução dos programas governamentais, para compreender o comportamento e os fenômenos que orientam as decisões político-administrativas quanto à definição, priorização e distribuição dos recursos orçamentários para execução das políticas. A principal lente analítica que ancora o trabalho é a metodologia do Equilíbrio Pontuado (Punctuated Equilibrium), de Frank R. Baumgartner e Bryan D. Jones, que permite identificar e entender o processo decisório sobre quais políticas públicas são adotadas e executadas, evidenciando os momentos de mudanças significativas ou incrementais, assim como os fenômenos que influenciam tais processos, uma vez que oferece subsídios para analisar conjuntamente as decisões orçamentais e sobre as políticas públicas, dentro de parâmetros definidos pelos autores, pela utilização de métodos quantitativos e qualitativos que facilitam a compreensão dos dados empíricos inseridos dentro da história e do contexto de execução. Assim, o estudo permitiu verificar a aplicabilidade da Teoria escolhida e concluir que as decisões adotadas no âmbito da SEESP não são constantemente incrementais, a Interrupção do Equilíbrio Pontuado ocorreu em 44% da amostra, preponderantemente em razão de alteração na dotação inicial do orçamento durante o exercício, motivada por decisões do Poder Executivo. E ainda, que não há prevalência do Poder Legislativo nas decisões para construção das políticas públicas educacionais no âmbito estadual. / This dissertation aims to analyze in a longitudinal perspective public educational policies produced by the Education Department of the State of São Paulo, from 1996 to 2016. This area was chosen for having the largest public school system of Brazil and remaining under the command of the same political party for more than two decades. The analytical clipping was defined because the literature about it shows that the simultaneous examination of the research budget cycles and of public policies are scarce. Thus, the analysis of the variations in the application of budgetary resources represent an important source of data to identify changes or maintainance in the execution of distinct public policies. Considering this context, the research comes from the study of the public budget and public policies, to highlight the moments that resulted in atypical changes in the trajectory of educational policies observed through the implementation of Government¿s programs, to understand the behaviors and phenomena that drive the political-administrative decisions regarding the definition, prioritization and allocation of budgetary resources for the implementation of policies. The main analytical lens that anchors the work is the methodology of Punctuated Equilibrium, Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones, that allows to identify and understand the decision-making process under which public policies are adopted and performed, showing the moments of significant or incremental changes, such as the phenomena that influence those processes, since it offers subsidies to jointly analyze budget decisions and public policy, within parameters defined by the authors, using quantitative and qualitative methods that facilitate the understanding of the empirical data inserted into the story and execution context. Thus, the study allowed verify the application of the chosen theory is feasible and conclude that the decisions adopted within the framework of the Education Department of the State of São Paulo are not constantly incremental, the interruption of punctuated equilibrium occurred in 44% of the sample, mainly because of changes in the initial allocation of the budget during the financial year, based on decisions of the Executive Power. And yet, the Legislature has no role in making decisions regarding construction of public educational policies at the State level.

Avbrott i policy inom gruvnäring : Policyutveckling i fallen Rönnbäcken och Kallak

Hertzberg, Marie January 2015 (has links)
Studien utgår från två fall av gruvetablering, Rönnbäcken och Kallak, vilka har liknande utgångspunkter men resulterat i olika utfall. Respektive länsstyrelse har i de två fallen yttrat sig jakande respektive nekande. Studien är ett fall av myndighetsutövning i två fall av bearbetningskoncession och syftar till att förklara varför olika beslut fattats i fallen Rönnbäcken och Kallak. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från Punctuated Equilibrium theory vilket belyser fyra faktorer av vikt för beslut, yttranden och processen i sig i de två fallen. Utgångspunkten är teoriprövande där det teoretiska ramverket används förklarande i och med de olika utfallen. Studien använder sig av processpårning och analyserar därigenom kvantitet såväl som innehåll och tendenser i bland annat artiklar, protokoll, lagar och yttranden.   Studien utgör ett bidrag till existerande forskningslitteratur inom området gruvnäring och stärker i och med slutsatser, förklaringspotentialen hos Punctuated equilibrium theory. Ytterligare slutsatser innefattar att det avstyrkande yttrandet och beslutet i fallet Kallak tyder på policyförändringar där fallet Kallak mycket väl kan påverka utkomsten i fallet Rönnbäcken. Attention och New participants ses som de viktigaste faktorerna i initiering av policyförändring.
