O artigo analisa o “Processo de criação do Projeto de Assentamento do Vale do Arinos de Juara (MT), no contexto das políticas públicas de Reforma Agrária” e aborda os procedimentos adotados na implementação das atividades para o assentamento, sob os auspícios das políticas públicas para Reforma Agrária e Assentamentos Rurais. Os trabalhos de pesquisa visavam elucidar o processo de criação, planejamento, estruturação e seleção dos Assentados. A teoria de base foi construída segundo o aporte teórico-analítico de autores que pesquisam a reforma agrária e se constituiu importante subsídio para compreensão, discussão e análise dos dados pesquisados. O estudo fundamentou-se nos pressupostos do método de pesquisa qualitativa, a qual se instrumentou por meio de levantamento documental e aplicação de entrevistas. O conjunto de dados qualitativos que formaliza o corpus de análise apontou que as ações inerentes à criação, planejamento, estruturação e seleção dos assentados nas parcelas do assentamento foram parcialmente concretizadas, visto que houve pouca efetividade nas políticas públicas de reforma agrária no assentamento, dada a escassez da infraestrutura básica. Todavia, as famílias reconhecem significativos benefícios à população assentada no Assentamento Vale do Arinos.Palavras–chave: Reforma Agrária. Políticas Públicas. Assentados.AbstractThe article analyses the "Process of creating the Arinos Valley of Juara (MT), in the context of the public policies of Agrarian Reform" and discusses the procedures adopted in the implementation of the activities for the settlement, under the auspices of public policies for Agrarian Reform and Rural Settlements. The research works aimed at elucidating the process of creation, planning, structuring and selection of the Seated. The basic theory was constructed according to the theoretical-analytical contribution of authors who research the agrarian reform and constituted substantial subsidy for understanding, discussion and analysis of the data researched. The study was based on the assumptions of the method of qualitative research, which was instrumented using documentary survey and application of interviews. The set of qualitative data that formalised the analysis corpus pointed out that the actions inherent to the creation, planning, structuring and selection of the settlers in the settlement parcels were partially accomplished, since there was little effectiveness in the public policies of agrarian reform in the settlement, given the shortage of necessary infrastructure. However, families recognise significant benefits to the population settled in the Vale do Arinos settlement.Keywords: Agrarian Reform. Public policy. Settled.

The creation of rural settlements for the purpose of agrarian reform within the Brazilian Amazon has generated discussions and since its first implementation and brought innumerable contradictions, both environmental and social. So, naturally, questions arise about questions such as: In what context were these settlements constituted? How did the occupation of this territory impact the environment and what were the consequences of these impacts on the ecosystems and families of small farmers? This work aims, through an bibliographical review, to conceptualize the socioenvironmental impacts of the implantation of agrarian reform settlements in the Amazon and to try to elucidate or at least contribute to discuss how the failures in the management of these projects affected the lives of settled families and the ecosystem as a whole. The current structure of the landscape reveals management failures, such as the inconsistencies in the division of lots, which combined with the implantation of pastures, have increased deforestation. The inconsistencies in the construction and implementation of public policies that enabled the farmer to remain on the land in a sustainable manner, generated a state of poverty and consequent rural exodus. It is possible to produce in a sustainable way, being necessary to provide orientation and resources for farmers and the promotion of actions that aim at the production with sustainability, such as Agroforestry Systems and extractivism, practices that have been working in some localities.

Described as units developing public policies in a design-oriented manner, Policy Labs are tasked to innovate to gain in policy effectiveness and efficiency. However, as public policymaking is a context-dependent activity, the way in which these novel organisations operate significantly differs. This study discusses the emergence of design approaches for policy innovation. The purpose is to map how Policy Labs in Europe introduce design approaches at distinct stages of the policymaking cycle. For this study, 30 organisations in Europe operating at various levels of government were surveyed. Based on the public policymaking process model, it investigates which design methods are Policy Labs deploying to innovate public policies. The study exposed a gap in the awareness of the utilised methods' nature. It also showed that the use of design methods is of less importance than the introduction of design mindsets for public policy innovation, namely ‘user-centredness’, ‘co-creation’, and ‘exploration’.

Public procurement is a main issue in the frontline of Governments fighting COVID 19 pandemic as the need for additional and urgent acquisitions as well as the need to consolidate the supply chains and to promote sustainable and innovative procurement have been a source of deep changes and main challenges disturbing public markets and invalidating several assumptions of the traditional public contracting. In this paper, the development of appropriate public policies to cope with these challenges is studied following the approach suggested by several authors and including four stages: a Stage on Facts and Issues where the main challenges and conditions are studied, the Options Stage to describe which polices and procedures can be adopted, a Values Stage stating the main values to be pursued and, finally, a Policies Stage including the selection of the recommended policies. The analysis of the challenges and facts includes the study of a taxonomy of short and longer term needs and the available options are based on the comparative study of procedures ruled by the European Directives on Public Procurement approved on 2014. The major values to be respected include the principle of competition which is a major institutional principle of the European Treaty and of the Directives as well as the goal of promoting sustainable and innovative public procurement. Several indicators are suggested to describe the application of the public procurement policies adopted across EU and their comparative analysis is presented using the TED data for contracts concerning COVID 19. The case of Portugal is discussed and final remarks about the recommended public policies are also included herein.

Nowadays, several mega-trends capture the attention of governments, academia and the public in general given their implications for the quality of life and the development of nations. This work deals with two of them: entrepreneurship and environmental protection, as a result of research aimed at analyzing the processes, actors and results of the “Entrepreneurship for Life” Program led by the Valle de Aburrá Metropolitan Area, executed during the period from 2012 to 2015, in order to contribute to the improvement of public policies on eco-entrepreneurship. The methodology of the Synergy System1, applied by the Colombian Government, was used to appraise public policies. The required information was collected through in-depth interviews with the creator of the program, the entrepreneurs who benefited from it, officials of the entities involved and experts. Then, it was complemented by the analysis of documents such as minutes, reports and other sources. Among other results, it was evident that, although the public policy on environmental entrepreneurship is still incipient, the evaluated Program met the objectives for which it was created.

The right to healthcare in Brazil is seriously protected by the courts. Judicialization of everyday implementation of this public policy is a fact. One explanation may be provided by the way judges understand the effectiveness of this right. People hold subjective right to individualized healthcare benefits, and so they hold standing to sue the state in order to achieve it, regardless any consideration of public policies. Through an analysis of the jurisprudence on this issue, this paper aims to provide a critical understanding not just about what is actually happening in Brazilian courts regarding healthcare, but also to criticize it. The conclusion is that a “strong” conception of constitutionalism and fundamental rights may revel itself as “weak,” from the standpoint of general equality. Judicialization ends up empting the public debate, leading the task of solving the distribution of scarce resources to a “gowned aristocracy.”

The purpose of this study is to design a model to investigate the role of the Individuals making public policies in the implementation of the administrative system health policy. Two questionnaire has been used in the current study: One whose main aim was to investigate the actors making public policy with 51 questions and Cronbach Alpha 0.93, and the other one in the administrative system health policy with 74 questions and Cronbach Alpha 0.95. To be assured with regard to the validity of the questionnaires content and construct validities were estimated. The statistical population of the current study were 86643 employers of the executive organizations of the Khuzestan province, Iran. The final sample of the study was 382 individuals based on Cochran. Data analysis was done by using SPSS 22 and Amos 22. The results of the current study revealed that the factors making the public policy included 13 factors in which the most average was for mass media (7.64) and the least was the powerful elites with the mean of (5.64). The health administrative policies included 14 policies, all of them were at significant point except the policies of eleventh to thirteenth of the fifth book “Islamic Panel Code”, the law of banning more than on job, and the principles of prevention and fighting against bribe. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the factors making public policy and those of administrative health policy.

Sustainability is a topic that has gained importance in several fields of knowledge, including the public, private and society spheres, based on the discussions that involve the definition of several public policies. Sustainability Indicators (SI) are metrics that seek to measure the level of sustainability and compile information for better decision-making concerning policies, programs, projects and actions related to sustainability. Demonstrated their relevance to public policies the SI appears as an essential tool for evaluating development goals as a sustainable proposal. In this way, this research aimed to discuss the main challenges and methodological limitations found in the use of SI, emphasizing the main fragilities identified in the literature. In methodological terms, the research has exploratory characteristics, supported by the mixed methods approach using a theoretical-empirical analysis, from the available literature on the subject and the methodologies used and the experience of researchers about the topic addressed. The main results demonstrated that Sustainability Indicators are tools that should be used to define, implement, evaluate and monitor public policies at all levels, considering the potentialities/weaknesses and priorities of each context.

BACKGROUND Obesity has become a health problem worldwide, determined by multiple and complex factors, and face to this challenge, governments have played central role in combating its rise. Considering this fact, public policies are introduced or enacted for the benefit of whole populations, taking into account the prospective of multiverse social stakeholders based on solid scientific fundamentals. In an eventual evaluation of a proposed or enforced public policy it can be relevant to explicit the scientific roots of its directives. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine obesity-related policies in all US states and District of Columbia, in order to understand their scientific basis. METHODS We analyzed the public policies, as implemented in the United States, in the time window when this health-related trend was a major governmental concern. In total, 1,592 policies related to obesity were selected and analyzed through text mining technique. RESULTS The multidisciplinary area was predominant in the documents analyzed (33.5%), followed by Health Sciences (28.5%), Social Sciences (20.7%), Life Sciences (15.1%) and Physical Sciences (2.2%). Besides, throughout the country most policies were community oriented and many of them were related to school and family environments, early care and education, hospitals and workplaces. CONCLUSIONS The content of public policies analyzed have elements of science with predominance of multidisciplinary area. This results provide evidence of how science and public policy are interrelated. In the same time, it can drive government decisions related to investments on science.

Today researchers help governments to make rational and evidence informed decisions in their public policies. Thereby, practices and studies of public policies should be guided by high quality investigations especially in healthcare and energy sectors. Due to the importance of public policy-focused research and existing research gaps, this article aims to introduce a new framework with special focus on system identification and conceptualization. The framework seeks to integrate advantages of the action, systematic, quantitative, and qualitative research in an innovative structure.
