Regional planning policies are an essential instrument for allowing the local inhabitants' necessary life quality standards. Those planning tools support future living prosperity in that territory, encouraging the ending of spatial and social inequalities as an incentive instrument for the so-desired sustainable development. Thereby, this paper aims to analyze the Public Administration and Decision-Makers' opinions concerning the Potential of Rrural Tourism Development in the Azores Islands. We used an exploratory methodology, which enabled to assess those perceptions. Consequently, it was possible to understand that the public administration's role in fostering and coordinating rural tourism is pivotal for this activity's continued sustained growth. Besides, throughout this study, it was possible to understand that regional development has been decisive and has decidedly influenced the local population. The research also recognizes that are many advantages in this typology of tourism for local communities - i.e., job creation or stimulating the local economy, are just a few examples.

Residents Attitudes

Tourism has an important role in the various development plans and strategies around the world. It has also become an important component of rural development programs, as rural communities experiencing serious economic downturns often consider tourism to be a possible way of development. The expected positive economic and social impacts may not occur and negative tendencies are reinforced if communities do not support or even oppose tourism development. For this reason, it is highly important for planners and decision-makers to understand how the public perceives the tourism industry.In the international literature there is a growing number of studies about residents’ attitudes toward tourism development. In the present study I review the social and economic factors that influence the attitudes of residents and communities, as well as demonstrate the typologies that were created on the basis of the results. Finally, I summarize the theoretical models that are used to interpret the results of the investigations.

This article studied on the stakeholder analysis of environmental policymaking process in Thailand for classifying and analyzing the power and interests of stakeholders. The results illustrated the importance and influence among them and leaded to the better understanding about the environmental policymaking process of Thailand. This findings advantaged in the public administration aspect concerning the natural resources and environmental management by fulfill the gap to avoid undesirable affected that may harm the further the environmental policymaking process. The results found that the most important stakeholders are those who make final policy decisions in Thailand’s Environmental Policymaking Process. They are three decision-makers; the Cabinet, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment and the National Environment Board. They all have a legal and presumed claim and ability to influence policy decision making. The second group is the citizens, the communities, and the international organizations eager to democratize the natural resources and environmental management because they believe that liberalization from state hands could lead to better public accessibility and better the self-immunity, which, in turn, would enhance the efficiency and fairness in the utilization of natural resources and the country’s democracy. Nevertheless, the results significantly indicated that the first group influenced the environmental policymaking process of Thailand in their direction more than the second group due to their power and interests.

Theory To Practice

Future public administrators are predominantly entering the field as practitioners, and therefore, classroom work should have relevance in the field. Public administration educators need to find engaging ways to connect theory to practice, as well as creating culturally competent, ethical decision-makers, capable of sifting through information to make decisions for the public good. Film – specifically television and movies – as a pedagogical tool, can accomplish these goals. While fiction and storytelling have been common tools in education (literature and fictional case studies), film is increasingly used by educators. There is a multitude of outcomes for using film in the public administrators classroom. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of film as a pedagogical tool, and links outcomes to the development of three types of public administrators: skilled, responsible, and responsible in the information age.

Understanding policy instrument choices and the range of possibilities present in any implementation situation is key for both policy advisors and decision makers. These choices are a concern in policy formulation, which requires an understanding of what kinds of instrument options exist, which subset of tools is generally considered feasible or possible in a given context, and which among that smaller subset of all possible tools is deemed by policy experts, politicians, and the public to be the most appropriate to use at a given time. And, once plans have been adopted, questions of how they can best be implemented and how implementation can be done by governments raise another key set of instrument-related issues important to both policymaking and public administration.

The Road to Iraq is an empirical investigation that explains the causes of the Iraq War, identifies its main agents, and demonstrates how the war was sold to decision makers and by decision makers to the public. It shows how a small but ideologically coherent and socially cohesive group of determined political agents used the contingency of 9/11 to outflank a sceptical foreign policy establishment, military brass and intelligence apparatus and provoked a war that has had disastrous consequences.
