La gestion du cadre bâti dans l'Arrondissement historique et naturel du Mont-Royal

Lorsqu’un site ou un bien est protégé par un statut patrimonial, tant national que local, les règlements d’urbanisme sont un des principaux outils d’encadrement des modifications de l’environnement bâti. Comment ces règlements participent-ils à la conservation des valeurs patrimoniales ? Pour explorer cette question, nous avons choisi le cas de l’arrondissement historique et naturel du Mont-Royal (AHNMR, renommé en 2012 site patrimonial du Mont-Royal), un site majeur pour l’identité de Montréal. Nous avons recensé les valeurs patrimoniales attribuées au site et analysé le processus de gestion des projets dans les quatre arrondissements qui se répartissent la partie montréalaise du territoire de l’AHNMR; nous avons également analysé quelques demandes de permis. Le processus est complexe, d’autant plus que l’évaluation est en bonne partie discrétionnaire, incluant des analyses de fonctionnaires et de comités consultatifs de même que des exercices de consultation publique. La recherche a permis de mettre en lumière que les règlements d’urbanisme ont tendance à se concentrer sur les valeurs dont la matérialité est connue (valeurs architecturales et paysagères notamment) et à délaisser les valeurs immatérielles (valeurs d’usage, valeurs identitaires et emblématiques). La juxtaposition des valeurs peut atténuer ce déséquilibre en protégeant une valeur immatérielle par l’entremise d’une valeur matérielle. La documentation des valeurs patrimoniales et de leur incarnation dans l’aménagement d’un site revêt une importance majeure pour l’application des critères d’évaluation. De plus, l’évaluation discrétionnaire apporte de multiple points de vue sur un projet, des opinions d’acteurs, experts en patrimoine ou non, généralement absents de l’évaluation des projets, ce qui contribue à l’évolution de ces derniers. Les consultations publiques donnent lieu à la réévaluation des valeurs patrimoniales ainsi qu’à l’approfondissement des connaissances.

BACS en el Centro Histórico de Cuenca: diseño de modelos arquitectónicos para intervenciones de vivienda multifamiliar en predios vacíos del área de primer orden del Centro Histórico de Cuenca, aplicando la normativa BACS ensamble

El Centro Histórico de Cuenca tiene como actividades predominantes el comercio, la administración, gestión de servicios, entre otros. Sin embargo, el uso de vivienda se ha ido perdiendo a través de los años. Este abandono perjudica a toda la ciudad, puesto que las personas buscan establecer sus nuevos domicilios en zonas periféricas, ocasionando disgregación y dispersión espacial de actividades, alterando el correcto crecimiento de la ciudad. Así mismo, uno de los mayores problemas que enfrenta el Centro Histórico es el no poder desarrollarse como un organismo vivo, teniendo un uso combinado de vivienda y comercio, que permite que la zona esté activa todo el tiempo. La habitabilidad es fundamental para el mantenimiento y buena salud de los Centros Históricos. Cuenca no es la excepción y es necesario devolverle a esta zona de la ciudad una función residencial más intensa. Por estas razones y a manera de estudio, se ha decidido hacer un proyecto de diseño de modelos arquitectónicos de vivienda multifamiliar en predios vacíos del área de Primer Orden del Centro Histórico de Cuenca, no solo respetando la normativa municipal, sino también aplicando la normativa BACS ensamble!, desarrollada por el Departamento de Investigación Espacio y Población a través del grupo LlactaLab Ciudades Sustentables de la Universidad de Cuenca, que defiende la posibilidad de generar barrios compactos sustentables, en zonas consolidadas de la ciudad, que ayuden a construir un modelo de ciudad diferente a la actual, donde el ser humano sea el centro de reflexión.

Municipal accountability: Should regulations similar to the Sarbanes -Oxley Act apply to the local sector?

As America moved into the 2lst century financial scandals associated with large publicly traded corporations brought widespread concern about the reliability of financial reporting. In response the U.S. Congress adopted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Undergirding SOX was the belief that improvements in the reliability of an organization's financial disclosures would lead to increased trust in the issuing organization. While SOX is aimed at publicly traded private sector organizations, the value of adopting SOX-like practices in the public and the nonprofit sectors have been recognized. Although SOX-like auditing practices have not at the time of this research become part of the auditing regime for municipalities, the results of this research provide a baseline "read" of municipal finance officers' perceptions of the value and obstacles associated with adoption of two major components of SOX: Principal Officer(s) Certification (POC) and the Independent Audit Committee (IAC) requirements. The author mailed surveys to all finance officers of municipalities in Florida and Ohio with populations of 10,000 or greater which did not contract out the operation of their finance departments. Post-survey "elite" interviews were conducted in an effort to obtain a deeper understanding of revealed issues and contradictions found in the analysis of the results of the mails survey. The findings suggest municipal finance officers are willing to adopt POC but have reservations about implementing IAC. With both POC and IAC the respondents appeared to consider intangible, non-pecuniary consequences as much or more than tangible, pecuniary consequences. Consistent with prior research, attitudes regarding POC and IAC were found to be unrelated to prior adoptive behavior, or personal and organizational demographic variables. Although accounting and auditing are inexorably intertwined, views of the recently implemented GASB 34 reporting model were found to be unrelated to the willingness to adopt POC or IAC. Findings dovetail with current discourse in public sector accounting suggesting local finance professionals may see benefits—both tangible and intangible—to some but not all accounting practices adopted in the private sector. This is consistent with the commonly accepted belief that public sector accounting maintains fundamental differences from its private counterpart.

Percepção sobre a eficiência do controle interno nos órgãos que compõem o poder executivo municipal: um estudo de caso na auditoria da Controladoria Geral do Município do Rio de Janeiro CGMRJ

Apresentar a percepção dos servidores públicos lotados na Auditoria Geral (ADG) da Controladoria Geral do Município do Rio de Janeiro (CGMRJ), sobre a eficiência do uso de Ferramentas de Controle Interno pelos gestores da coisa pública, pertencentes aos órgãos que compõem o Poder Executivo Municipal (PEM), no desempenho de suas funções. Os modelos atuais de gestão pública estão evoluindo a cada dia e precisam de informações que permitam a implementação de medidas corretivas, assim que a pesquisa se justifica, pois procura mostrar aos cidadãos o resultado da percepção desses servidores, que atuam na proteção do patrimônio público, em relação a quem está sujeito a sua ação, ao prestar contas, quanto: à eficiência e efetividade operacional; confiabilidade dos registros contábeis e financeiros; bem como a conformidade com leis e normas. A metodologia empregada envolve um estudo de caso, associado à pesquisa bibliográfica, exploratória, descritiva, pois além de ser um processo investigativo, utiliza diversos materiais escritos, bem como descreve um fenômeno. Enfim, a coleta de dados foi realizada através de um questionário onde foi combinado respostas de múltipla escolha e respostas abertas. O resultado desse estudo revela que à eficiência do Controle Interno está baixa nessas entidades. Os conceitos encontrados resultantes da percepção do grupo: Componentes do Controle Interno e reforçados, pela reduzida aplicabilidade das Ferramentas Gerenciais, mostra que esses elementos componentes das Ferramentas de Controle Interno precisam ser compromisso, na consciência desses gestores.

A importância da Polícia Municipal na segurança

The challenge of this work is to assess the importance of the municipal police in improving the safety of citizens, if gauging from this reality through contributions from the Municipal Police Guimarães. The IV Constitutional Review in 1997, enabled the Portuguese municipalities creating administrative police bodies. These services, known as Municipal Police, have gradually come up in several municipalities. Currently the Municipal Police have their fundamental legal regulations of Law No. 19/2004 of 20 May, which, according to the Portuguese Constitution provides that these must be seen as municipal services, which act in a space territorially delimited, which corresponds to the municipality that each belongs. Under Article 237, paragraph 3, of the Constitution, the Municipal Police are municipal services, which shall cooperate in the maintenance of public order and protection of local communities, acting in cooperation with the security forces, public security functions. The safety concept has been taking an increasingly significant importance within the population. Is also no doubt say that, currently, insecurity affects all of society and is a major concern of law enforcement authorities. To find suitable answers we found that there are several studies on these subjects. In order to be able to make our contribution, text looks us on this subject, having had the support of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in the preparation of this work. Thus, based on a survey, they were sounded out, as privileged actors, agents of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in order to know their perceptions with regard to security issues faced in the context of security. We understand ask them to answer in particular the following questions: What are the most facilitators situations of crime? How important is the Municipal Police Guimarães in crime prevention? What are the strategies for prevention of incivilities? What other skills that can be conferred upon the Municipal Police? The results obtained allowed us to conclude that incivilities facilitate the occurrence of crimes and that the Municipal Police may have a more active role in the security of the population. If you were given other duties, in addition to that already have, the Municipal Police could reach another level of effectiveness. However we understand that any change to the tasks of this police need a serious and profound reflection, to find complementary alternatives with the security forces, which does not conflict with current assignments of any of the parties or with the interests of citizens.

As avaliações externas e as percepções dos professores do ensino fundamental de uma rede municipal de ensino

In recent years, public schools have experienced the deployment of external evaluation that, legally, should promote the development and deployment aimed at enhancing the educational process of teaching offered at the country's public policy systems. However, such a situation occurred in a broader regulations of teaching and managerial measures and performative nature context generated implications in everyday school life, notably due to the pressure exerted on schools before the publicity of accountability for results and performance indicators changing, in many cases, the purpose of teaching work. In this context we understand that it is very important to discuss the history and characterization of implanted a city in São Paulo state systems, and vision teachers about them, and the consequences that assessments have caused in practice in the classroom. So be performed an empirical research of qualitative nature in four elementary schools-cycle Teaching I and II, with the aim of analyzing the perception of teachers about external reviews of a municipal school. As an instrument for data collection dense interview with teachers that will be used will be audio-recorded and then transcribed and analyzed with the support of the theoretical frameworks adopted

Twelve factors influencing sustainable recycling of municipal solid waste in developing countries

Sustainable management of solid waste is a global concern, as exemplified by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) that 191 member states support. The seventh MDG indirectly advocates for municipal solid waste management (MSWM) by aiming to ensure environmental sustainability into countries’ policies and programs and reverse negative environmental impact. Proper MSWM will likely result in relieving poverty, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, and preventing disease, which are MDG goals one, four, five, and six, respectively (UNMDG, 2005). Solid waste production is increasing worldwide as the global society strives to obtain a decent quality of life. Several means exist in which the amount of solid waste going to a landfill can be reduced, such as incineration with energy production, composting of organic wastes, and material recovery through recycling, which are all considered sustainable methods by which to manage MSW. In the developing world, composting is already a widely-accepted method to reduce waste fated for the landfill, and incineration for energy recovery can be a costly capital investment for most communities. Therefore, this research focuses on recycling as a solution to the municipal solid waste production problem while considering the three dimensions of sustainability environment, society, and economy. First, twenty-three developing country case studies were quantitatively and qualitatively examined for aspects of municipal solid waste management. The municipal solid waste (MSW) generation and recovery rates, as well as the composition were compiled and assessed. The average MSW generation rate was 0.77 kg/person/day, with recovery rates varying from 5 – 40%. The waste streams of nineteen of these case studies consisted of 0 – 70% recyclable material and 17 – 80% organic material. All twenty-three case studies were analyzed qualitatively by identifying any barriers or incentives to recycling, which justified the creation of twelve factors influencing sustainable municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in developing countries. The presence of regulations, enforcement of laws, and use of incentive schemes constitutes the first factor, Government Policy. Cost of MSWM operations, the budget allocated to MSWM by local to national governments, as well as the stability and reliability of funds comprise the Government Finances factor influencing recycling in the third world. Many case studies indicated that understanding features of a waste stream such as the generation and recovery rates and composition is the first measure in determining proper management solutions, which forms the third factor Waste Characterization. The presence and efficiency of waste collection and segregation by scavengers, municipalities, or private contractors was commonly addressed by the case studies, which justified Waste Collection and Segregation as the fourth factor. Having knowledge of MSWM and an understanding of the linkages between human behavior, waste handling, and health/sanitation/environment comprise the Household Education factor. Individuals’ income influencing waste handling behavior (e.g., reuse, recycling, and illegal dumping), presence of waste collection/disposal fees, and willingness to pay by residents were seen as one of the biggest incentives to recycling, which justified them being combined into the Household Economics factor. The MSWM Administration factor was formed following several references to the presence and effectiveness of private and/or public management of waste through collection, recovery, and disposal influencing recycling activity. Although the MSWM Personnel Education factor was only recognized by six of the twenty-two case studies, the lack of trained laborers and skilled professionals in MSWM positions was a barrier to sustainable MSWM in every case but one. The presence and effectiveness of a comprehensive, integrative, long-term MSWM strategy was highly encouraged by every case study that addressed the tenth factor, MSWM Plan. Although seemingly a subset of private MSWM administration, the existence and profitability of market systems relying on recycled-material throughput, involvement of small businesses, middlemen, and large industries/exporters is deserving of the factor Local Recycled-Material Market. Availability and effective use of technology and/or human workforce and the safety considerations of each were recurrent barriers and incentives to recycling to warrant the Technological and Human Resources factor. The Land Availability factor takes into consideration land attributes such as terrain, ownership, and development which can often times dictate MSWM. Understanding the relationships among the twelve factors influencing recycling in developing countries, made apparent the collaborative nature required of sustainable MSWM. Factors requiring the greatest collaborative inputs include waste collection and segregation, MSWM plan, and local recycled-material market. Aligning each factor to the societal, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability revealed the motives behind the institutions contributing to each factor. A correlation between stakeholder involvement and sustainability existed, as supported by the fact that the only three factors driven by all three dimensions of sustainability were the same three that required the greatest collaboration with other factors. With increasing urbanization, advocating for improved health for all through the MDG, and changing consumption patterns resulting in increasing and more complex waste streams, the utilization of the collaboration web offered by this research is ever needed in the developing world. Through its use, the institutions associated with each of the twelve factors can achieve a better understanding of the collaboration necessary and beneficial for more sustainable MSWM.
