Esta tese analisa os Planos Regionais Estratégicos das Subprefeituras do Butantã, Lapa, Pinheiros, Sé e Vila Mariana (Lei Municipal n0 13.885/04), com o objetivo de verificar a integração dos mesmos entre si e com o referencial fixo representado pelo Plano Diretor Estratégico do Município de São Paulo (Lei Municipal n0 13.430/02). O Plano Regional Estratégico de cada Subprefeitura deve se articular com o Plano Regional das Subprefeituras adjacentes e, quando for o caso, com os municípios limítrofes e a região metropolitana, devendo fazê-lo em um contexto relacional consistente. A questão da integração dos Planos Regionais foi examinada através dos seguintes temas: Rede Estrutural Hídrica Ambiental, Rede Viária Estrutural e Uso e Ocupação do Solo. A análise destas leis foi desenvolvida em um contexto de revisão dos paradigmas relativos ao exercício do planejamento urbano, desencadeado pela Lei Federal n0 10.257/2001 ? Estatuto da Cidade, que criou e regulamentou vários instrumentos da política urbana, vinculando-os ao plano diretor. / The present thesis analyzes the Strategic Regional Plans of Sub-Districts of Butantã, Lapa, Pinheiros, Sé and Vila Mariana (Municipal Law n0 13.885/04), with the purpose of verifying the aforementioned plans integration within themselves and with the fixed referential represented by the Strategic Master Plan of São Paulo City (Municipal Law n0 13.430/02). The Strategic Regional Plan of each Sub-District must be articulated with the Regional Plan of adjacent Sub-districts, and with the adjoining cities and the metropolitan region, having it done in a consistent related context. The matter of the Regional Plans integration was analyzed through the following themes: Environmental Hydro Structural Network, Structural Roads Network, and Ground Use and Occupation. The analysis of such laws was developed within a context of review on paradigms related to urban planning work, unleashed by Federal Law n010.257/2001 ? City?s Decree, which created and regulated several instruments of urban politics, attaching them to the Master Plan.

This study investigated the performance of health workers in the decentralised services in Uganda in order to develop a management framework that may be used to improve performance. The study followed a mixed research methodology and was descriptive. The survey design was used to collect quantitative data by means of a structured questionnaire. Qualitative data was collected using a semi-structured interview guide. The study population for the quantitative strand comprised 276 health workers including doctors, clinical officers, and professional nurses working in four districts: Kumi, Mbale, Sironko and Tororo. The health workers were selected using stratified random sampling. The population for qualitative strand was health services managers (N=21) from the same districts. The managers were selected purposively. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 18.0, while qualitative data was coded and analysed manually. The findings revealed that the performance of health workers is generally affected by health systems and work environment related factors. The findings indicated that health workers are skilled, competent, and generally have positive attitudes and behaviours towards their clients. The study uncovered loop holes in performance management in the district health sectors. In most cases there is no target setting, no performance management planning, performance indicators are not clearly defined, and the schedules for performance measurement are not always followed. There is limited career progression and lack of functional performance feedback and rewarding mechanisms. Although health workers are committed, there is widespread political interference and nepotism in the district health sector management. Overall, the researcher is optimistic that if the proposed performance management framework is implemented, the performance of health workers might improve. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil.
