This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Municipalities in the Nordic regions are working to adopt artificial intelligence. Chat bots answer questions from citizens, algorithms can predict leaks in the water and sewage network, and tests are being conducted to determine how the technology can advise and support the municipalities’ case officers. This report describes how selected municipalities in the Nordic region are working with artificial intelligence. It discusses how the adoption of the technology may affect trust in the Nordic region, both in terms of the population’s trust in the public administration and social trust. The report makes recommendations for how the municipalities in the Nordic region can work together on artificial intelligence.

Download or read book Municipalities and Finance written by Nick Devas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finance is a critical issue for municipal governments around the world, and a major constraint on the delivery of pro-poor services at the local level. In many countries, decentralisation has brought the issue of municipal finance to the fore. This sourcebook provides a framework for analysing municipal finance capacity and ways of addressing financial constraints. The ideas come from real-life innovative practice in four countries - India, Brazil, Kenya and Uganda - with additional examples from elsewhere. Emphasis is given to how those innovations and improvements were developed and sustained. The book identifies a strategic framework for diagnosing municipal finance capacity and focusing financial goals. It applies the analysis to a number of critical areas of municipal finance including local taxes, charges for services, budgeting, cost control, accounting reforms and investment finance. This is the third in a series of capacity-building sourcebooks that includes Focusing Partnerships: A Sourcebook for Municipal Capacity Building in Public-Private Partnerships and Municipalities and Community Participation: A Sourcebook for Capacity Building.

This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focusses attention on the social-demographic, agricultural and tourist aspects of the 29 municipalities of the Molise Region, in order to provide new elements and details in a distributive and diachronic analysis and underline the link between new data and old problems which require collective actions to reach common purposes and to enhance the local resources according to the different vocations. After the examination of numerous statistical data which are also represented through GIS elaborations, quality of products and processes, multi-functional and inter-sectorial relationships, fast and slow scenarios, new or renewed forms of tourism accommodation, internet and tourist social technologies, social agriculture and neo-agrarianism, slow and creative tourism, the high environmental quality, enriched by historical and cultural heritage, become some of the keywords around which the geographical analysis is conducted. The present study seeks both to provide useful input for a meticulous and weighted planning, according to a resource-based approach, and to define a reference framework for people who are no longer live in Molise Region and Italy, but who are still emotionally attached to their native lands and keep alive the memories for their origins or for the origins of their parents.

This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nordic municipalities can have a significant impact on creating a more climate-friendly Nordic region. This study gathers valuable information about climate change management in Nordic municipalities and gives a general view to the local climate work in Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The study aims at recognising the success factors and needs for support in Nordic local climate change work. It is based on a web survey conducted between October 2011 and February 2012, with an overall response rate of 37 %. The study shows that Nordic municipalities are actively working for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Commonalities in the success factors and challenges are found in the study; however, there is no 'one size fits all' solution, because the countries differ in many respects - the national framework conditions being the most crucial difference.
Download or read book Municipalities and the challenge of esg sustainability written by Paola Caporossi and published by Rubbettino Editore. This book was released on 2022-02-25T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizens and local administrators usually discuss public services and policies on issues ranging from nurseries to public parks and gardens. Yet, the discussion almost never concerns the administrative capacity of a Municipality, without which those services and policies are not feasible. This is why the European Union regularly recommends that its Member States strengthen their administrative capacity as a condition, for example, for the good use of structural funds and the NRP (PNRR). After all, the arrival of European money is not enough to guarantee development: at the same time, the public organisational machinery in each country must be improved. Otherwise, it would be like injecting petrol into a car with a broken engine. The Public Rating analysis presented here does not aim to assign report cards to Municipalities, but to identify their strengths and weaknesses, so as to be able to better direct targeted actions to support administrative strengthening. The book is therefore a cognitive tool for citizens and a compass for the Government on the qualitative performance of Municipalities, capable of identifying the many existing good practices. Transparency is the prerequisite for this to be possible: therefore, faced with the difficulties of some Municipalities in fulfilling their publication obligations, the response of a modern State cannot be to reduce transparency obligations, as stated in the PNRR, but to support fulfilment itself, first and foremost through digitalisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Among all the literature on participation, this is the first book I know that focuses on municipal authorities. It... also has particular importance both for higher levels of government (at national or provincial/state level) and for international agencies. Firstly, it is a reminder of the importance of well-functioning municipal governments for reducing poverty. Secondly, it is a rich source of case studies and analysis about how municipal authorities can incorporate one central component of 'good governance' - a permanent, participatory engagement with their citizens' From the Foreword by David Satterthwaite, Director, Human Settlements Programme, International Institute for Environment and Development Increasingly, governments and donors are advocating the participation of poor communities in the delivery of urban services and infrastructure. Yet local authorities responsible for implementing participatory policies often do not have the skills, organisations or resources needed, or an adequate idea of the capacity required. This sourcebook provides invaluable practical guidance for municipal officials, and others working in urban development and poverty reduction, on the range of issues to be addressed in planning and managing cities with community participation. It explains the key elements of participation, identifies common constraints and opportunities, describes the vehicles for moving participation forward and outlines the capacity building needed for a municipality to achieve participatory goals.
