Co-production is currently one of the pillars of the public sector reform around the world. The potential of this concept is increasingly recognized in the design and improvement of public services in cities. Co-production is a partnership among citizens, public institutions and enterprises, which enables all the parties to be more involved in the management of the city and contributes to greater control over public resources (Horne, Shirley, 2009). In the subject literature, it is pointed out that these reforms are directed to the implementation of effective public services, are a response to the deficit of active citizenship and active communities and enterprises that are insufficiently involved in the processes of designing and co-creating innovative public services in cities. The basic - and basically still valid today - conceptualization of co-production was carried out in several works published in the first half of the 1980s. The aim of this paper is to analyse the state of research on the issue of co-production in public services and to identify the main research areas related to this subject. The paper was based on a systematic review of literature, which included, among others, the emergence of basic literature and selection of publications, bibliometric analysis and content analysis. The results of the conducted research show that the issue of co-production in public services is a new subject, still not well recognized in the literature and which may constitute a current and interesting area of research.

Abstract This paper aims at the balance between the citizen and the public authorities with public services as an interface. Public services place themselves at the crossroads of many elements such as: needs of the citizen, social need, public will, public resources, private availability, and civic sense. Without claiming to have identified all factors that converge to defining / structuring the public services (PS) / services of general interest (SGI), the paper tried to highlight some of the most important. The social need is covered at the macro level and it represents what society - as a whole - needs. Citizens’ needs are more specific, individualized and custom-designed, rundown by gender, age, education, social condition, financial strength, religion, living environment etc. The public will is an expression of what the Administration encompasses in mid- and long-term national strategies and addresses in detail the PS / SGI in sectorial policies where responsibility is assumed. Public resources include in our assessment all resources at the disposal of the Administration at some point. Private availability can be expressed through various forms such as public-private partnerships, development of complementary private sponsorships, donations etc. A balanced public service can also benefit of citizens’ civic sense. Even if they are completely satisfied with the services at hand they understand that it would be without sense to unnecessary ask for them just only because it’s free.

Public services are services, both in the form of public goods and public services which are the responsibility and are carried out by the government in an effort to meet the needs of the community and in accordance with statutory provisions. One of the public services provided by the government is the One-Stop Administration System (SAMSAT). According to SAMSAT data in the city of Magelang, data on motorized vehicle ownership has increased and there has been an increase in the number of taxpayers. However, the tax payment service is considered to be less than optimal because there are still long queues when paying taxes.This also causes many people to make payments past the due date or entrust queues to brokerage services. Therefore, to overcome the problem, a mobile-based application (GO-PAJAK) was built which can be used to make tax payments by means of a vehicle document pick-up to pay motor vehicle taxes connected between drivers (SAMSAT employees) and customers (taxpayers). With this application, it is expected to improve service standards at the SAMSAT office and reduce taxpayer queues also reduce the use of brokers in administering public service administration that can increase public trust.

An empirical implication of egalitarianism in the provision of public disaster relief services is that the probability of surviving a natural disaster should not be conditioned on a household's position in the income distribution, or its racial characteristics. In this paper, we utilize data on deaths attributed to Hurricane Katrina in the City of New Orleans to estimate a political economy model of the public provision of disaster rescue services. Parameter estimates reveal that the probability of dying as a result of Hurricane Katrina, at both the census tract and individual level, increased with respect to being black and poor. Our results suggest that there was a departure from egalitarian principles in the provision of public disaster rescue services during Hurricane Katrina, and are consistent with a political economy of race and class governing decisions about the allocation of public resources to ameliorate population environmental risks.

Smart City public services need detailed and relevant public information to increase their efficiency. To have relevant information, collecting and processing the data about its previous uses are crucial. Clustering is one of the most powerful, yet computationally demanding, tools that can be used to process such information. Since public services data are vast, but usually not accurate, the objects clustered are considered as uncertain. In this paper, we propose a novel clustering method for uncertain objects called Improved Bisector Pruning (IBP), which uses bisectors to reduce the number of computations. We combine IBP with a modified segmentation of a data set area (SDSA) method that enables the parallelization of the clustering process. In the experiments, we show that IBP-SDSA is superior in performance to the most used clustering method UK-means combined with Voronoi or MinMax pruning, regardless of the problem size. We applied IBP-SDSA on clustering the public services data in the city of Osijek and show that the acquired data can be used to improve public services logistics.

This study addresses the casual relationship between urban growth patterns and environmental phenomena, which we have in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a powerful tool to support urban planning and decision-making. In this sense, an analysis of susceptibility to flooding of regions through GIS represents important information for the public sector, as support to the urban zoning process, delimitation of risk areas and for the allocation of public resources, with corrective and preventive purposes. Thus, this study aimed to determine areas susceptible to flooding in in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, through geoprocessing techniques. For that purpose, data on slope, elevation, accumulated water flow, curve number, soil type and land use and occupation were used. The results indicated that Juazeiro do Norte is a city of medium susceptibility to flooding, corresponding to 69% of the municipality and compromising 17% in a high susceptibility. The urban area of the Tiradentes neighborhood deserves alert due to its greater potential for flooding, where 79.5% of its area is very vulnerable. The generated map serves as an instrument for managing and monitoring extreme water events that happen routinely in the city. It also signals the community and managers to take measures to prevent and minimize flooding.

In Italy, during the last few years (2008-2013), the processes of land development have stalled due to the economic and political situation of the Country. The lack of public resources available to enable the above mentioned processes, as well as a complex and incomplete legislative and regulatory framework are the main causes of the crisis affecting the construction industry. This industry, which has always assured a turnover of 20% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), should be revived through the development of public-private partnerships (PPP). This paper shows a working model of participatory management, based on PPP, which meets the purpose of supporting public administrations (PA) in a more efficient management of their lands development processes. The proposed model, inspired by the urban management experience developed in the city of Ladispoli (a best practise example), is based on European and International procedural and evaluation models. The models aim is to achieve public-interest objectives, within an articulated development initiative, based on a complex planning vision that involves a plurality of purposes, interventions, actors.
