Public Policy Planning

The present work aimed to perform an analysis of the current situation of irregular dwellings in the black earth neighborhood of Manacapuru-AM using geotechnologies. The methodology consists in identifying the irregular occupations of the neighborhood, and demonstrating the problems encountered as well as the possible solutions. The information obtained was used to generate the diagnostic maps to analyze the characteristics of irregular dwellings and if they have water and sewage network, waste collection, junk dump and drainage network, because it is a simple technique, it is possible to be used in other neighborhoods of Manacapuru, being extremely important in helping public policy planning and environmental monitoring.

The Common

Global shortages of raw materials and growing problems of solid-waste management have made resource recovery a pressing concern of public policy for many governments. The purpose of this paper is to review policy planning for resource recovery. Planning in this as well as related arenas appears to suffer from several interrelated difficulties. One difficulty of public-policy planning is the inaccurate modelling in policy analysis; another is the common resistance to uniform implementation guidelines. Both of these difficulties appear to hinge on the problem of behavioural change.

Citizen Preferences

Much of the research in marketing concerning public policy has focused on the interaction of marketing with federal agencies such as the FTC and the FDA. The purpose of this study was to expand macro-marketing into the broader realm of citizen input into the allocation of tax dollars among federal programs. A segmentation approach was used to identify segments that have similar expenditure priorities and distinguish them on the basis of demographic and social psychological descriptors. Federal government expenditure priorities for ten areas were measured using a constant sum procedure. Four consistent clusters were identified. These results have implications for public policy planning and implementation. Since public preferences for federal expenditures cannot be measured directly in the marketplace, the strategy adopted in this study illustrates a method of providing such inputs.
