The Buildings and facilities of municipal Councils of fundamental autonomous organization in various regions were made on the basis of its experiences in 1950s but lacked constructional sophistication and failed to comprehend their functions, resulting in several repairs and renovations after the dedications of the buildings. They also undermined the efficiencies of the worn and was a big drain on the budget of municipal councils. Furthermore, especially after the integration of rural and urban areas. Municipal councils in urban areas couldn't accommodate the increased staffs. Thereby, They used the established councils in the cities and countries and repaired and renovated other buildings of which were permitted as offices, decreasing the eligibility of the buildings for municipal councils. The poor constructional working conditions triggered new constructions of the buildings reserved only for municipal councils. The study finds out find out about the work of municipal councils and analyzes how the municipal council buildings are used as substitutional spaces, directing which way they should go in mapping out spaces. Resultantly, It becomes basic materials in constructing municipal buildings.

Purpose: This study established the state of the utilisation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Zimbabwean urban district councils to manage municipal knowledge. The way municipal knowledge and service delivery information are managed influences the usefulness and accessibility of the information to the various stakeholders. The effective management of this information thus determines the quality of decisions made by Zimbabwean urban councils. Research design, data and methodology: The study adopted a single case study design, employing a purely qualitative research approach. The purposive sampling technique was used to select key informants who participated in the study. Collected data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Results: The findings revealed that the Masvingo City Council was not fully utilising ICTs to manage service delivery knowledge. It has been at a minimum level in cases where they have been used. Conclusions: This research contributes to the Zimbabwean local government body of knowledge, providing the evidence needed to form a basis for future research, focusing on knowledge management and information technology utilisation in municipal organisations. The researchers recommended that Masvingo City Council direct more resources towards improving the existing ICT infrastructure and employee training programmes to improve the management of the organisation's knowledge.

New Zealand suffers from regular floods, these being the most common source of insurance claims for damage from natural hazard events in the country. This paper describes the origin and distribution of the largest floods in New Zealand, and describes the systems used to monitor and predict floods. In New Zealand, broad-scale heavy rainfall (and flooding), is the result of warm moist air flowing out from the tropics into the mid-latitudes. There is no monsoon in New Zealand. The terrain has a substantial influence on the distribution of rainfall, with the largest annual totals occurring near the South Island's Southern Alps, the highest mountains in the country. The orographic effect here is extreme, with 3km of elevation gained over a 20km distance from the coast. Across New Zealand, short duration high intensity rainfall from thunderstorms also causes flooding in urban areas and small catchments. Forecasts of severe weather are provided by the New Zealand MetService, a Government owned company. MetService uses global weather models and a number of limited-area weather models to provide warnings and data streams of predicted rainfall to local Councils. Flood monitoring, prediction and warning are carried out by 16 local Councils. All Councils collect their own rainfall and river flow data, and a variety of prediction methods are utilized. These range from experienced staff making intuitive decisions based on previous effects of heavy rain, to hydrological models linked to outputs from MetService weather prediction models. No operational hydrological models are linked to weather radar in New Zealand. Councils provide warnings to Civil Defence Emergency Management, and also directly to farmers and other occupiers of flood prone areas. Warnings are distributed by email, text message and automated voice systems. A nation-wide hydrological model is also operated by NIWA, a Government-owned research institute. It is linked to a single high resolution weather model which runs on a super computer. The NIWA model does not provide public forecasts. The rivers with the greatest flood flows are shown, and these are ranked in terms of peak specific discharge. It can be seen that of the largest floods occur on the West Coast of the South Island, and the greatest flows per unit area are also found in this location.

Purpose: This paper provides a literature review of both qualitative and quantitative research on service delivery in urban local authorities as portrayed in literature and offers more insight into the concept thereby developing and facilitating an improved understanding of service delivery and proffering strategies for improving service delivery in urban local authorities. Research design, data and methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Empirical and theoretical research and articles which are relevant to service delivery in urban local authorities are reviewed and analysed. Only secondary information gathered through those articles and research is used to analyse and build literature review on service delivery in urban local authorities. Results: a literature review of both qualitative and quantitative research on service delivery in urban local authorities as portrayed in literature proffering strategies for improving service delivery in urban local authorities. Conclusions: It is evident that service delivery is an area which needs more attention, especially in developing countries. The service delivery environment is also changing rapidly, calling for strategies to match such changes. This paper facilitates an improved understanding of service delivery, proffering strategies for improving service delivery in urban local authorities. These strategies are essential in improving service delivery challenges.

21세기 들어 공원 및 오픈스페이스 계획은 기존의 양적인 성장, 생태적 측면 그리고 여가적 측면 등 단편적 기능에 집중해오던 것에서 다양한 혜택을 가져오는 다기능과 함께 오픈스페이스와 녹지 등의 연결성을 강조하는 그린 인프라스트럭처로 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 런던의 경우, 그린 인프라스트럭처는 기존의 물리적 그리고 사회 기반시설과 함께 핵심 기반시설 중의 하나로 인식되고 있으며 이론적 접근을 통해 그린 인프라스트럭처 계획을 지속적으로 개발하고, 법적 도시계획 속에 반영되어 지방 차원에서 실질적인 공간계획으로 구현되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 영국의 법정도시계획인 런던플랜 속에서 그린 인프라스트럭처 정책의 변화 발전과 세분화된 전략적 실행 계획인 그린그리드 계획 그리고 지역계획에 반영된 정책의 동향과 특징과 시사점을 다루었다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중앙 정부, 광역지방정부 그리고 지방정부가 명확한 역할 분담을 하고 있다. 국가계획정책체계인 NPPF, 그리고 광역런던기구의 런던플랜에 준하여 로컬플랜을 수립하고 있어 중앙정부의 정책목표가 지방정부의 개발계획에 일관성 있게 반영되는 시행 체계를 구축하고 있다. 그린 인프라스트럭처가 정책적으로 높은 비율로 지방정부의 로컬플랜에 반영되고 있어 이를 뒷받침하고 있다. 둘째, 광역계획인 런던플랜을 통하여 그린 인프라스트럭처와 관련된 정책 그리고 실천전략으로서 그린그리드 계획을 일관되게 확대 발전시키고 있다. 또한 정권과 관계없이 지속적이고 일관되게 추진되고 있으며 시대의 흐름에 맞게 보다 발전되고 강화되면서 장기적 실행계획으로 실현되고 있다. 셋째, 광역런던기구는 선언적 정책에 머무르지 않고 런던 시장이 직접 운영하는 지원 프로그램을 통하여 지방정부에서의 실행을 지원하고 있으며 파트너쉽으로 유도하고 지원하는 방식을 통해 정책을 실현하고 있다. 근래 서울시도 공원과 녹지정책에 있어 발전을 가져왔지만 선언적 정책에 머무르지 않고 영국 런던과 같이 정권과 관계없이 지속적이고 일관되게 추진되는 정책과 장기적으로 실천되고 있는 계획 사례의 검토는 우리에게 주는 시사점이 크다.
