The editorial function of the territorial intelligence systems
2006
This communication makes an updating of our thinking about the editorial function of the systems of territorial intelligence. Computer science and information systems aim at increasing the communication between the human beings. A territorial intelligence system is an instrument at the service of the actors who ambition to control the development the equitable and sustainable development of their territory. Since the irruption of data processing, we led research activities to design friendly software, then to model the structure of a territorial information system that is at the service of a network of territorial actors, and more recently to integrate the data analysis functions. They led …
River Contracts for Innovation in Territorial Governance
2016
Emerged in France in 1980s as agreements oriented to the requalification of rivers and lakes, river contracts represent an important outcome of the decentralization process, developed in Europe in reply to the growing institutional fragmentation. In this scenario, rivers have become a dialectic arena in which the exploitation and management of water resources came to terms with environmental instances, and offered the breeding ground for concerted efforts between policy makers, stakeholders and communities. In this chapter, the analysis is focused on the river contract model and the related set of instruments capable of supporting concerted and participatory management processes both with r…
España inacabada. Organización territorial del Estado, autonomía política y reconocimiento de la diversidad nacional
2021
S’han complert més de tres dècades de vigència de la Constitució de 1978 i, per tant, ja es disposa de prou perspectiva per analitzar el grau d’eficàcia d’un model d’Estat, per alguns, gairebé federal i, per a uns altres, senzillament molt descentralitzat. D’altra banda, a Espanya segueix plenament obert el debat sobre Espanya. Sigui quina sigui l’opinió, la veritat és que el nostre antic problema consumeix una gran part de les energies col·lectives, condiciona àmpliament l’agenda política, genera notables tensions socials i projecta ombres d’incertesa respecte al futur. En aquest treball, s’hi presenta un balanç de les dues qüestions. Després d’oferir un resum breu del procés de construcci…
Las barreras del asociacionismo municipal en Colombia: un Análisis Cualitativo Comparativo (QCA)
2019
espanolEn este articulo se identifican algunas de las causas que revelan los bajos niveles de asociacionismo municipal que presentan los departamentos de Colombia. Mediante la aplicacion de un analisis cualitativo comparativo (QCA, por la sigla en ingles de qualitative comparative analysis), se presentan distintas configuraciones causales que explican este fenomeno, tomando como base los datos del Departamento Nacional de Planeacion de Colombia. La variable resultadose ha calculado mediante la proporcion de municipios de cada departamento que pertenecen a algun tipo de asociacion, tomando como referencia los esquemas de asociacion territorial. Entre las conclu-siones que se desprenden, dest…

Aproximación a la Geografía del despilfarro en España: balance de las últimas dos décadas
2018
Este trabajo pretende ser una primera aproximación a la dimensión del despilfarro de recursos públicos en infraestructuras en España desde 1995 hasta la actualidad en los distintos niveles de gobierno. A partir de algunas precisiones sobre los conceptos de despilfarro y corrupción, se analiza, de una parte, la inversión y los sobrecostes en infraestructuras innecesarias impulsadas y ejecutadas por la Administración General del Estado en el ámbito de sus competencias, y de otra, infraestructuras, proyectos, eventos e inversiones fallidas, vacías o infrautilizadas acometidas por las Comunidades Autónomas y los gobiernos locales. Se abordan los déficit de marco institucional y de gobernanza te…
Enhancing Performance Management and Sustainable Development through e-government policies in Urban Areas
2013
The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how system dynamics modelling can be used in e-government policy and systems as an aid to spport territorial ananlysis, planning and governance, sustainable performance in urban areas and the assessment of policy outcomes. Topics such as renewable energy, efficiency, the design and exploitation of urban energy, water and waste management infrastructure and the alignment of different stakeholders provide relevant fields of study for the analysis of this paper. Specifically, we reflect upon the way in which a preliminary dynamic performance management model of an exemplary case study can be used to foster a common shared view among different policy mak…
Prospects of territorial intelligence tool Catalyse according to governance
2013
Catalysis method has been developed since 1989 as a scientific tool for territorial intelligence and governance. It is currently undergoing major adjustments that are presented in this paper. Catalysis was immediately concerted as a tool for territorial stakeholders' cooperation and citizen participation in local initiatives . It allows a stakeholder partnership to confront the needs of a given population with resource inventory and indicators of a territory as to predict and assess the evolution of these elements. It mobilized for this purpose a set of basic project management and and evaluation techniques, survey processing , data analysis and spatial information. It includes tools for ac…
Governing the Metropolitan Dimension: A Critical Perspective on Institutional Reshaping and Planning Innovation in Italy
2019
As in other European countries, over recent decades the question of met- ropolitan government has captured political and academic attention in Italy too. The debate has been recently fuelled by a national reform introduced to create 14 metropolitan authorities to provide for new government solutions in the territories of the larger urban areas. Based on literature and empirical observation, this paper presents a critical view of that process by examining the following questions: How do metropolitan areas relate to broader Italian urban policy? How does the reform contribute to a reshaping of multi-level governance through national and local initiatives? And how does institutional reorganisa…
