Degree of master housing / The aim of the study was to investigate, how Welkom council is responding to street
homelessness in Welkom. The democratic government adopted, the Reconstruction and
Development Programme, as an integrated socio-economic policy framework, to
mobilize national, and human resources, towards a sustainable housing for urban, and
rural poor. However, despite, the government’s concerted commitment to providing
massive housing for its citizens, the problem of homelessness, remains pervasive. Three
themes, which emerged as critical during the study, are discussed in detail, namely, lack
of housing policy, addressing specifically street homelessness; lack of financial and legal
mandate, by the local council, to house street homelessness; and lack of research
department, and human resources for effective conceptualization of the issue. It is argued
that the department of research is critical in providing strategic research facilities, in areas
of housing policy, and legislation frameworks. Equally critical, is the need for skilled
human resources, necessary for strategic and holistic provision of efficient and effective
services. The study suggests complete overhaul of the national housing policy making it
holistically inclusive. Equally suggested, is capacity building necessary for sustainable,
efficient, and effective housing delivery and eradication of homelessness.

Architectures et aménagement urbain à Metz (1947-1970) : action municipale : la modernisation d’une ville / Architectures and urban planning in metz (1947-1970) : local council action : the modernisation of a cityMaurer, Pierre 04 June 2018 (has links)
Cette étude porte sur la ville de Metz entre 1947 et 1970, durant les mandats du maire Raymond Mondon (1914-1970). La production architecturale et l’aménagement urbain sont interrogés à travers le prisme de l’action municipale. De la lutte contre l’habitat insalubre et de la résorption de la crise du logement de l’après-guerre aux opérations de rénovation urbaine des années 1960, en passant par la création de grands ensembles de logements collectifs, la recherche interroge la modernisation de la ville. Outre les projets architecturaux, elle explore également l’évolution des limites territoriales de cette commune militaire annexée deux fois en moins d’un siècle, en s’appuyant essentiellement sur le dépouillement et l’analyse des fonds d’archives locales. Professionnels de la construction, hommes politiques, agents administratifs ou encore riverains, différents intervenants sont conviés au sein de cette étude afin d’éclairer les processus par lesquels la ville se construit et se transforme durant des années marquées par une forte croissance. / This study focuses on the city of Metz between 1947 and 1970, during the tenure of Mayor Raymond Mondon (1914-1970). The issues of architectural production and urban planning are studied under the light of local council actions. From the fight against unsanitary housing and the end of the post-war housing crisis to the urban renewal of the 1960s, to the creation of large multi-family housing projects, the process of modernisation of the city is put into question. In addition to the architectural projects, it also explores the evolution of the territorial limits of this military commune annexed twice in less than a century, relying mainly on the counting and analysis of local archives. Construction professionals, politicians, administrative agents or local residents, various stakeholders are invited in this study to highlight the processes by which the city is built and transformed during years marked by strong growth.

"From rowing the ship to steering it" : reforming the public sector through the tender process : the Msunduzi Municipality as a case study.Singh, Sansha. January 2007 (has links)
It is the following quote by E.S Savas (1992) that truly conceptualises and forms the backdrop of this study "the word government is from a Greek word, which means 'to steer.' The job of government is to steer, not to row the boat. Delivering services is rowing, and government is not good at rowing" (Osborne and Gaebler 1992:25). Government has experienced a reformation of the way it operates, particularly in the way it achieves its policy objectives and delivers services. Governments have discarded the old style of governing and public administration in favour of New Public Management (NPM) and an entrepreneurial spirit. Both NPM and entrepreneurial government are based on the premise that governments must seek the most innovative, efficient and effective way of providing services and must do so under circumstances of fiscal constraints and scarce resources. This has resulted in Alternative Service Delivery (ASD) and Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Local government, being at the heart of service delivery, has entered into Municipal Service Partnerships (MSPs). Public sector procurement has been used as a means of entering into these partnerships and introducing competition, thereby getting the best "value for money". The aim of this research study was to determine how the tender process has contributed to the reformation of the public sector in terms of improving service provision. The study was carried out by employing formal social science research methods. Qualitative methods have been adopted, using the Msunduzi Municipality as a case study. As part of the research methodology of this study, basic interviewing was conducted with officials within the Msunduzi Municipality. The first finding of this study was that government procurement injects competition into the market, thus reducing the cost of services delivered. Secondly, the procurement of goods and services aids government in acquiring much-needed skills, which the public sector often lacks from the private sector. Thirdly, that public procurement in a South African context has a dual purpose. Not only is government procurement aimed at reducing government expenditure, but also at redressing the equalities of the past by empowering "historically disadvantaged individuals". A fourth finding of this study is that Alternative Service Delivery (ASD) and Municipal Service Partnerships (MSPs), which are entered into through the procurement process at local government, are very controversial. While, on the one hand, ASD and MSPs are advocated by some for assisting government in acquiring much-needed financial and technical resources from the private sector which the public sector often lacks, on the other hand the private sector is often criticised by others for being motivated solely by profit-making. Thus, analyses of the findings of this study suggest that government procurement introduces competition into the market, thereby reducing the cost of services delivered, increases service delivery coverage and introduces much-needed skills that are required by the private sector. Public procurement has been employed as an important policy tool which fosters job creation and empowers once discriminated against groups such as women and the disabled. South Africa has reformed itself and has become more entrepreneurial and what was once a solely public function is now being delegated to the private sector. Therefore it can be deduced that ASD and MSPs, through procurement, has transformed the public sector in terms of service delivery and has greatly improved it. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2007.

Previous issue date: 2008 / Esta dissertação consistiu na análise do Conselho Municipal de Saúde de Lauro de Freitas
como aliado no desenvolvimento da democracia participativa local. Primeiramente, a pesquisa
buscou evidenciar as principais fundamentações teóricas acerca dos princípios democráticos e
da participação cidadã, expondo as distintas abordagens presentes na literatura especializada
sobre o tema. Em seguida, este estudo procurou avaliar a efetividade deliberativa do conselho
nas decisões sobre a formulação das políticas de saúde e aplicação dos recursos públicos, com
vistas à democratização do processo decisório. Para tanto, adotou-se uma metodologia de
pesquisa pertinente à teoria apresentada que se fundamentou na análise das atas do conselho,
na observação não-participante (acompanhamento presencial das reuniões) e na aplicação de
questionário junto aos conselheiros. Por último, apontaram-se os resultados da pesquisa de
campo que indicaram um grau de efetividade deliberativa do conselho relativamente baixo
com relação aos temas de maior impacto na Política Municipal de Saúde de Lauro de Freitas.
Além disso, indicaram-se também as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelos conselheiros no
exercício da função deliberativa. Com base na teoria relacionada e nos dados obtidos
empiricamente, a título de conclusão, sugeriu-se investigar a relação entre as decisões
tomadas pelo conselho e as ações e gastos da prefeitura na saúde municipal. / Salvador

Public policy pertaining to arts and culture in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.Abrahams, Byron. January 2001 (has links)
This study aims to explore the relationship between the Transitional Local Council of Pietermaritzburg, and various arts and culture bodies in the Pietermaritzburg area. It has seemed that there is a power differential in this relationship, with a very high concentration of power in the hands of the TLC, while very little of it resides with the arts and culture organizations. The findings of this study have shown that the relationship is, in all cases, built on funding. However, secondly, the problem with this is that the TLC has no real policy on the allocation of funding to arts and culture. There is some informal policy, but nothing concrete. Thirdly, the study shows that the TLC does in fact have a power base from which to work - the finances it controls. And, finally, the study has shown that the transition to democracy in 1994 has not substantively changed the situation in which arts and culture organizations find themselves. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2001.
