Abstract This work aims to investigate the view the inhabitants of the Rural Area of São João del-Rei have about the environment surrounding them and about the public policies for the region. The methodology used is founded on Qualitative Epistemology, focusing on the participants’ subjectivity. Interviews were made with eleven participants from six rural communities based on their life history. The analysis of the data was performed based on concepts from Environmental Psychology and from the Bioecological Model of Human Development. The results indicated that the inhabitants see themselves as inhabitants of rural areas; they described the existing public policies and pointed out the needs found in this context. The need of formulating adequate public policies for the scenario presented is considered.

Social Economy Organizations

In Morocco, the emergence of the cooperative sector in a structured and organized form dates back to the 1980s, although the culture of solidarity, mutual aid and collective work constitute a component of Moroccan culture and traditions. Indeed, social economy organizations, particularly associations and cooperatives, have rapidly developed thanks to the efforts made by the State, especially in the rural world for the financing and support of development projects, the fight against illiteracy, precariousness and poverty, the promotion and integration of women into the economic circuit. Even today and since May 18, 2005, the date of the launch of the National Human Development Initiative (INDH) by His Majesty King Mohamed VI, the aim of this study is to compare the Moroccan Model of cooperative with the other’s counties models.

Linear Interactions

AbstractThis article employs three different measures of life satisfaction viewed as proxy for social utility, in order to test for the possible non-linear interactions between the quality of public governance, as reflected by the World Bank indicators, and globalization, as captured by the KOF index, for a dataset of 99 countries for a time span between 2001 and 2010. We conclude that efficient and trustworthy public policies may enhance life satisfaction. Moreover, there may occur a synergy effect between ‘good’ governance and globalization (especially for those components describing social globalization), while there is no substitute for the failure of public policies, in terms of human development and growth (with the effects on human development being substantially more important than those corresponding to the increase in national wealth).

Policy circles have long made the assumption that information and communications technologies promote human development. In mapping the Human Development Index (HDI) against the Digital Access Index (DAI) we explore the statistical and spatial relationship between human development and digital access. The results suggest information and communications technologies may not play as strong a role in promoting human development as is usually asserted and that public policies might need to be centered more on human rather than digital capital.

Estudio De Caso

El crecimiento poblacional descontrolado, la migración de la zona rural a la urbana, la obsolescencia de los sistemas de información gubernamental, son fenómenos que se manifiestan en las ciudades causando deficiencias en los servicios urbanos, insatisfacción de los ciudadanos, segregación, desigualdad, precariedad, inseguridad, marginación y discriminación aunado a la contaminación ambiental, ante esta problemática que enfrenta la Ciudad de México se requiere innovar mecanismos de gestión pública eficientes y efectivos con la incorporación de las tecnologías de información y comunicación. las Ciudades Inteligentes surgen como la mejor alternativa de solución. El artículo busca responder la interrogante ¿Existen políticas públicas relacionadas a las ciudades inteligentes en la ciudad de México, orientadas al Desarrollo Humano? El objetivo es analizar las políticas públicas sobre las cuales se impulsan las ciudades inteligentes y si estas se orientan al desarrollo humano o solamente a un desarrollo tecno-económico. El artículo empleó un estudio de caso de enfoque mixto, con base al análisis de documentos y entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave. Se encuentra que las políticas públicas relacionadas a las ciudades inteligentes poseen una relación alta con el desarrollo humano, y los avances que existen se relacionan más a una ciudad digital. Se concluye que existe un avance en el marco legal y desarrollo de políticas públicas que facilitan la incorporación de las tecnologías digitales e inteligentes y que se orientan al desarrollo humano como bienestar social, pero no existen políticas específicas sobre ciudades inteligentes.

Central Tool

Evaluation is currently regarded as a central tool for learning and improving accountability in relation to public policies and social programmes. It is also understood as a process for boosting human development and social justice. Capability and feminist approaches have both been explored, separately, in evaluation theory, methodology and practice. This article explores the potentials, complementarities and limitations of mixing the two approaches. To this end, we present an evaluation design for the ‘Programme Against Child Poverty’ of Save the Children Andalucia (Spain). Our aim is to contribute to the development of transformative approaches and methodologies within the evaluation discipline.

This chapter details the author's perspectives on public policies in a few themes that are critical to human development. These are perspectives that have evolved over a period of time based on the author's engagement with people at the grassroots and an understanding of policy making and its principles through experience and education. Though it may not always be explicitly articulated, the chapter attempts to echo a belief in incorporating grassroots perspectives and people's participation in policy making, its implementation, and feedback on a continuous basis so that the policies are rendered sound and relevant. Ultimately, it argues that the voice and perspectives of the people for whom the policies matter must find greater space in the entire policy discourse.

This paper results from the research on the (im)possibilities of rural school regarding the promotion of agricultural familiar succession in the city of Barra Bonita (SC/Brazil). The research sought to understand if the public policies related to rural education promote the permanence/succession of young people in country properties. It is a qualitative research of bibliographical character, assuming a dialectic and critical orientation. The paper is organized in two parts: the first one focuses on the conceptual notion of rural education, approaching agricultural schools and the public policies created for this context. The second one reflects on the (im)possibilities of rural schools regarding contributions to familiar permanence/succession. It is anticipated that public policies and actions addressed to young people in the countryside are fragile when it comes to promoting the succession and the permanence of these young adults in the country properties from the city of Barra Bonita (SC). In addition, the paper highlights the need for creating public policies for young people that are coherent with the Brazilian diversity, in a way that they can provide incentive, human development and generation of income for the ones who want to live in the countryside.
