This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large number of municipal governments in Allegheny County is a derivative of Pennsylvania's governance structure and history. This structure provides for strong representation at the local government level. The anticipated benefit of this structure is a greater sense of local "ownership," encouraging local government to be responsive to constituent demands. However, local representation also includes government fragmentation, with potential costs in the form of inefficiency and conflicting intercommunity goals. The RAND Corporation was asked to begin to explore and create a framework for studying the effects of Pennsylvania's locally dominated governance structure on regional performance and to identify potential lessons for Allegheny County from the experiences of other regions. Drawing from the literature, case studies, and local economic data sets, the authors investigated the empirical validity of two questions to understand whether they are worth pursuing in greater depth: Does multiplicity of local governance create inefficiencies in the cost, coverage, and quality of delivered services? Does this multiplicity inhibit timely and comprehensive decisionmaking for regional economic development? The authors conclude that the challenge facing the region is to assess whether a new vision for local governance can define a structure that provides efficient services, balances resources equitably, and positions the region to compete in the global market.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research agenda examines ways to improve availability and access to public services for individuals living in rural areas. Five articles focus on general conceptual and methodological issues pertaining to research on services, and are applicable to a wide range of services such as health and education. Discussions concentrate on public service problems in rural areas experiencing chronic population loss, loss of basic industries, and aging population. "Settlement Patterns and the Provision of Services in the North Central Region" (Edward W. Hassinger) examines the unique historical role of American rural communities as providers of services for rural populations in the Midwest. "Spatial Aspects of Public Services in Rural Areas" (Roger J. Beck) attempts to reconceptualize relationships between the local area and rural service delivery, given the demographic and economic changes described by Hassinger. "Ecological Correlates of Rural Service Delivery: The Case of Rural Health Care" (Jack Geller) uses a human ecological perspective to conceptualize the problem of providing services for persons in sparsely populated counties. "Community Leadership and Decision-making in the Provision of Rural Public Services" (Janet S. Ayres) examines relationships between local rural communities and the formal structures of local government. "Community Social Organization and the Coproduction of Public Services in Rural Areas" (David J. O'Brien) proposes an approach to conceptualizing and measuring more effective relationships between rural communities and formal service providers. The final section outlines specific steps that can be taken to develop a coherent research agenda. Contains 118 references. (KS)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses and explores recent trends in the field of local and urban governance. It focuses on three domains: institutional reforms in local government; inter-municipal cooperation; and citizen participation in local governance. In the last decades, in different regions of the world, there is ample evidence that sub-national government, in particular the field of local governance, is in a permanent state of change and reflux, although with differences that reflect national particularities. Since these institutional changes have an impact in the local policy process, in the delivery of public services, in the local democracy, and in the quality of life, it is mandatory to monitor these continued institutional changes, to learn and develop with these changes, if possible before these experiences are transferred and replicated in other countries. The editor and contributors address issues of interest for a wide audience, comprising of students and researchers in various disciplines, and policy makers at both national and sub-national tiers of government.
