DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Technical Information Service IB DIRECTORY OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT CONTENTS Introduction How to Use How to Order NTIS Price Codes Report Documentation Page iv Abstracts 1 Keyword Index 433 Corporate Author Index 535 Order Blank Last page Foreign Dealers Inside back cover a INTRODUCTION w ® The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce is the central source for the public sale and announcement of Government-sponsored research, develop- ment, and engineering reports and analyses prepared by Federal agencies, their contractors, or grantees. NTIS supplies the public with approximately 6 million documents and microforms annually. Many of the technical reports announced by NTIS contain listings of computer programs and/or documentation; the programs cover a wide variety of applications. To help scientists, systems analysts, and programmers locate reports in their areas of interest, NTIS has prepared this directory, which lists reports containing computer programs and/or documentation for a specific application. The reports listed in the directory are available in paper copy or microfiche and provide the use with software at an exceptionally low price. Please direct questions, comments, or suggestions to the Product and Program Management Division, NTIS, (703) 487-4734. The computer software offered by NTIS was created by a variety of Federal agencies to meet their diverse but quite specific objec- tives. It is provided without installation, support, or maintenance ser- vices and sometimes requires customer modifications to run effec- tively in customer environments. HOW TO USE Arrangement of Citations Bibliographic entries are arranged alphanumerically by NTIS order number. Specific citations can be located by searching the indexes either by keyword or corporate author name. Each index entry gives the NTIS order number, which is used to locate the main entry. Product Formats Products listed are available in a variety of formats. Paper copy (PC) — copies or reprints of the original report. Microfiche (MF) — 105 x 148.57 mm microfiche sheets (about 4x6 inches), 24X. Microfilm — 16 mm Microfilm — 35 mm Magnetic tape — 7- or 9-track recording modes HOW TO ORDER r® Availability Copies of most items announced by NTIS are available from NTIS; reports that must be obtained from other sources are noted. In the first section of this publication, each bibliographic entry shows where the report may be obtained. Reports available from NTIS have price codes, actual prices, or the word "Subscription" printed to the right of the boldfaced NTIS order number. Reports not available from NTIS have the words "Not Available NTIS" printed. Paper and Microfiche Copies If the bibliographic citation has a price code entry such as PC A04/MF A01, an order can be placed directly with NTIS. A report may be available in paper copy (PC), microfiche (MF), or both; if both forms are available, a price code is given for each. To deter- mine the price, consult a current price-code table (see contents page for location of one in this publication). Please use the order form bound as the last page (or a copy) to place your order. Be sure to include the NTIS order number, the quantity desired, form (PC or MF), and any special instructions, such as special mailing. Magnetic Tapes Some bibliographic and numerical data files and computer software are available as machine-readable magnetic tapes. There are several options from which to choose in placing orders for magnetic tape files. It is suggested that you consult NTIS prior to placing an order by calling (703)487-4763. Not Available NTIS To find where to order reports listed as "Not Available NTIS," look to the entry just before the abstract for the secondary availability state- ment. Statements on availability vary from an entry that tells where reports were published to specific ordering instructions such as "Paper copy available from ERIC Document Reproduction Service." When NTIS can supply specific ordering instructions, it does so. When such information is not available from NTIS, your local librarian may be able to help you. REGULAR, PREMIUM, Ordering Options NTIS offers three order-fulfillment options: and RUSH. Regular Service. An order can be placed by mail, by telephoning (703)487-4650, or in person at one of our sales desks. Payment may be made by check, NTIS deposit account, VISA, Master Charge, or American Express. Current U.S. Postal Service parcel post delivery time is from 9 to 30 days. Delivery by first-class mail (surcharge of $3 for each copy ordered) to North American Conti- nent addresses or foreign airmail (surcharge of $4 per copy or- dered) to addresses outside of the North American Continent can be requested. You may arrange to pick up orders at the NTIS Springfield sales desk, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, telephone (703)487-4650, or at the NTIS District of Colum- bia sales desk Suite 620, 425 13th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004, telephone (202) 724-3382. If you choose to pick up your order, the receptionist will call you when it is ready. Premium Service. This service is available only to NTIS Deposit Account customers. The service uses first-class mail delivery (rather than fourth class) to expedite delivery. The surcharge is $3.50 for each copy ordered. If you order three copies of one report or one copy each of three reports, the surcharge in either case would be $10.50. Rush Handling Service. NTIS fills these orders within eight working hours of receipt; no mail orders for rush handling are accepted. Your order can be placed using NTIS's toll-free number (800) 336- 4700; by telegram, Telex (89-9405), or Telecopier (703) 321-8547; or in person at one of NTIS's sales desks. Rush orders are accepted only from customers with NTIS Deposit Accounts, American Ex- press, Master Charge, or VISA accounts. The surcharge is $10 for each copy ordered. If an order is for personal pickup at one of NTIS's sales desks, the surcharge is $6 for each copy ordered. Ordering from outside the United States To better serve overseas clients, NTIS has more than 30 organiza- tions around the world to provide local access to NTIS products and , services. For a list of these agencies, please refer to the inside back cover. PRICE CODES F@ Most NTIS products are announced with price codes.

P- 5508 Keywords: 'Criminal justice, Computer applica- tions, Decision making, Mathematical models, Management information systems, Utilization, Poli- cies, Law enforcement, Computerized simulation, Effectiveness. This paper presents an analysis of the implemen- tation process for computer models in criminal jus- tice agencies. The study was undertaken as part of a larger review of computerized decision models and their use. The purpose was to assist the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration to estab- lish priorities for future funding policy. A survey of 39 cases of model applications is described. Data are presented concerning the means by which the opportunity for model use in the user-agencies was perceived, and by which a particular model was selected, acquired, and introduced. Criteria for determining the success or failure of implementa- tion are given, and factors in these outcomes are discussed. Finally, recommendations for future federal policy concerning model building, dissemi- nation, and implementation are offered.

Keywords: 'Transportation, Vehicles, Tunnels, Magnetic fields, Electromagnetism, Electrical equipment, Drives, Energy conservation, Super- conductors, Environmental protection, 'Magneti- cally levitated vehicles, 'Tubetrains, 'Very high speed transit systems. The Very High Speed Transit or 'VHST' concept was put forward some years ago in response to the search for a pollution-free transport method that could operate at speeds competitive with aircraft. The general principles are relatively straightfor- ward: Electromagnetically levitated and propelled cars in an evacuated tunnel. The VHST's 'tube- craft' ride on, and are driven by, electromagnetic (EM) waves much as a surfboard rides the ocean's waves. The EM waves are generated by pulsed or by oscillating currents in electrical conductors that form the 'roadbed' structure in the evacuated 'tubeway.' Opposing magnetic fields in the vehicle are generated by means of a loop of supercon- ducting cable carrying on the order of a million am- peres of current. The system is highly conservative of energy. Economic, environmental and technical aspects are briefly considered.

P- 4656 Keywords: 'Residential section, 'Crimes, 'Pre- vention, Urban areas, Security, Cost effectiveness, Police, Electronic equipment, Safety. This research, done under the auspices of Mayor Lindsay's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, examined techniques for improving security in New York City Housing Authority buildings. The crime patterns in the housing projects were analyzed first to determine the major threats against security. Next, a theoretical analysis was undertaken to de- velop criteria for judging the effectiveness and operational suitability of arbitrary security systems. This served as a basis for grading the effective- ness of fifteen security alternatives that were syn- thesized from knowledge gained on criminality, se- curity technology, and characteristics of the pro- tected environment. These performance scores were finally coupled with cost estimates to ascer- tain the most cost-effective candidates for possi- ble implementation.

P-5241 Presented at Caltech Seminar Series Energy Con- sumption in Private Transportation on 29 April 1974. Keywords: 'Energy management, 'Transporta- tion, 'Urban areas, Planning, Analog systems, Land use, Travel, Passengers, Feasibility studies, Modification, Housing(Dwellings), Employment, Recreation, Methodology, Organizations, Energy consumption. The author offers a few empirical observations and deductive propositions. In transporting people in cities there are two major ways to save energy: a more efficient use of vehicles is one; restructuring urban patterns in order to reduce the number of miles people need to travel is another. If land use management can be applied to the problem of energy conservation, such as by changes in the relative location of homes, jobs, recreational amenities, etc., so as to minimize the distances people would normally have to travel much should be accomplished. He discusses the feasibility of these methods.

P-5639 Keywords: 'Taxes, 'Law enforcement, Evasion, Beverages, Ethanols, Marketing, Regulations, Costs, Economic analysis, Allocations, State gov- ernment, Policies, State law, Effectiveness, Eco- nomic models, Alcoholic beverages, Excise taxes, Prices. This paper, which is based upon the author's Ph.D dissertation for the Economics Dept., Univ. of Chi- cago, integrates the theory of illegal behavior into the economic analysis of regulation, developing implications for both the measurement of regula- tory stringency and the determination of the eco- nomic effects of regulation. The discussion shows that measures of regulatory stringency must con- sider the level of law enforcement resources in ad- dition to the statutory provisions in regulations. A more important conclusion is that an analysis of regulation that ignores the prospect of illegal be- havior incorrectly analyzes the economic effects of changes in the statutory provisions of regulations. Empirical results from the study of state taxation of liquor suggest replacing the traditional analysis by the proposed alternative analysis that emphasizes the importance of tax evasion.

Keywords: 'Roads, 'Maintenance, 'Winter, Urban areas, Snow removal, Ice, Translations, West Ger- many, Sand, Salts, Cost analysis, Labor. Urban street maintenance in winter is especially complicated by concentrated traffic load, spatial narrowness, intersections, pedestrian walkways and overpasses. It consists in clearing and surface treatment (spreading salt, sand, etc.) at busy and dangerous locations. Construction firms are used for clearing operations. In Munich winter street maintenance covers 26 million sq m of roadway, 800 km of sidewalk, 28,000 pedestrian crossings, and approximately 3500 individual sites. Expendi- tures in winter 1969/1970 for November to April are shown in diagram form (snow removal, sand and salt truck use, sand and salt consumption, labor, output value). Costs totaled 1 1 million DM for this extremely severe winter. Thus economical- ly acceptable upper critical value was reached.

P-5674 Keywords: 'Education, 'Finance, 'Economic anal- ysis, Schools, Taxes, Distribution(Economics), Modification, Equalization, Impact, Law(Jurisprudence), California, Equity. California is under court order (Serrano vs. Priest) to revise the system of financing public elementary and secondary education. Initial analysis had pre- dicted that a shift to state-wide taxation would result in greater educational resources at a lower tax cost for lower income families and fewer re- sources at a higher tax cost for wealthier families. However, this analysis overlooked the role of non- residential property values in the tax base. This paper presents simulation results for California school districts of three alternatives: state-wide property taxation, district power equalizing proper- ty taxation, and state-wide income taxation for education. The results show that any alternative for taxation has the result of most families being better off. Property tax proposals shift the costs of education to industrial and commercial land uses, and the income tax alternative shifts the costs among families.

This study is an evaluation of the benefits and costs associated with the Navy's shore-based Recreation Program. The evaluation is achieved by determining the cost effectiveness of the Over- all Recreation Program as well as thai for the four- 1 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT teen individual Recreation Categories. A signifi- cant by-product of the cost-effectiveness has been the estimation of income from and costs (operating as well as capital costs) of individual Recreation Categories. The results are based on extensive in- formation gathered from over 11,000 active duty eligible users as well as the managers of the Rec- reation Program at 16 diverse Navy Installations in CONUS. The Recreation Program has been evalu- ated not only in terms of its benefits to the Navy individual and dependents but also with respect to its overall impact on the Navy in terms of maintain- ing retention rates. This evaluation has been ac- complished utilizing econometric models that take into account established relationships between changes in income and changes in retention. Other key ingredients of these model are esti- mates of recruiting and training costs utilized in the retention cost calculations. In addition, optimiz- ation models for resource allocation across the Recreation Categories have been developed. These models ensure the uniform distribution of benefits to the various demographic groups. Final- ly, the methodical pretesting of the survey instru- ments and the statistical randomness, size and ge- ographical representation of the survey sample uti- lized in this study ensure the reliability of the re- sults.

Littleville Reservoir is located on the Middle Branch of the Westfield River, Mass. The project was authorized in 1958 to provide flood control and water supply benefits. The reservoir-complet- ed in 1965--covers 111 ha at water supply eleva- tion and 206 ha at full flood pool. The total project includes 680 ha of land and water. In their Nov 27, 1961 planning report, the FWS recommended that hunting be permitted on project lands but did not recommend alternative action if the lands should be closed to hunting. Thus, subsequent action by the City of Springfield closing the project lands to hunting resulted in an unmitigated loss of hunting potential on 680 ha of publicly owned lands. It was anticipated that the locally important trout fishery supported by a section of the Middle Branch of the Westfield River 4 km in length would be replaced by a reservoir trout fishery but low trout stocking rate possibly was responsible for lower than ex- pected post-impoundment angling pressure. In general, cooperation and coordination between the State and Federal agencies were inadequate during both pre-construction and post-construction periods.

This report describes a program conducted by this laboratory in conjunction with the U.S. Army Engi- neer Division Ohio River, for procurement of 78 industrialized sanitary facilities. Performance specifications and two-step formal advertising pro- cedures were used to obtain the desired facilities. The low bid price was 53% of the conventional construction government estimate. The cost sav- ings did not result from a particular design for sani- tary facilities, but from the definition of the project and the manner in which the facilities were pro- cured. Given a sufficient number of facilities within a particular geographic region, builders can reduce material costs through bulk purchasing, and labor costs through the learning-curve phenomenon. The labor cost savings, which is the significant one, can only be achieved if the builder is perform- ing in its area of specialization; a sizable part of the builder's savings will be passed on to the purchas- er only if other builders who are also permitted to achieve such savings are in competition. The key to the approach is performance specifications, which describe the facility requirements so that builders can propose individualized solutions suited to their particular skills; thus, performance specifications put other builders in competition on the same basis. Volume I describes the method- ology followed during this program and includes detailed documentation of each stage, procure- ment guidelines and program implementation pro- cedures.

Several techniques have been used to estimate the effect of police activities on the incidence of crime, including: (1) cross-sectional analysis of re- ported crime rates in various jurisdictions as com- pared to resources devoted to the totality of police functions or certain police functions, (2) longitudi- nal analysis of a time series of crime incidence in several jurisdictions or in a single jurisdiction where police deployment or operations changed over time, and (3) experimental manipulation of the nature or amount of police activities. Nearly every study concerning deterrence has been subjected to criticism for one or more faults, such as failure to distinguish between true and reported crime rates, failure to specify or maintain the experimental con- ditions, apparent errors in the data, or confusion between cause and effect.

P-5785 Keywords: 'Migration, 'Demography, Civilian pop- ulation, Access, Limitations, Rural areas, Urban areas, Decision making, Policies, Law(Jurisprudence), Taxes, Growth(General), Civil rights, Local government. Changed patterns of migration, coupled with a sharp slowdown in overall population growth, have intensified public concern with population move- ments and their local consequences. These demo- graphic shifts have brought the right to migrate into conflict with the less well-defined rights of the pop- ulation already living where migrants decide to go. Underlying this contemporary concern with migra- tion is a complex and unresolved issue about rights of access to places. This paper offers a demo- graphic perspective on migration and the issue of access as they manifest themselves in two con- temporary situations: (1) energy boom towns where large-scale energy-related industrial devel- opment is under way; and (2) growth-limiting com- munities which have sought to impose local popu- lation ceilings. Submerged beneath this concern with migration, and the often unwelcome access it confers on destination areas, are such profound legal and political questions as Who gets to live where; and Who is to decide, and by what criteria.

Housing demand is projected to remain strong throughout the 1980's if economic growth contin- ues. In the 1990's and beyond, housing demand will moderate because of declining population growth. Demand for single-damily housing will remain strong, and regional shifts in population to the South and the West will continue.

Associated with economic development of north- east North Carolina are several water-related problems. The solution to these problems depends in part on adequate knowledge of the hydrology of this 8,930 square mile coastal area. Although it is hydrologically the least studied area of North Caro- lina, enough is known to present this reconnais- sance-level picture of its water resources. Average annual precipitation on the area is about 50 inches. Of this amount, about 34 inches returns to the at- mosphere via evapotranspiration, about 15 inches leaves the area as runoff, and about one inch leaves through ground-water outflow. No large streams originate within the area, but major streams entering from the north and west bring in three times as much streamflow as originates within the study area. The flat, low-lying terrane does not offer opportunities for extensive develop- ment of surface-water supplies through the use of reservoirs. Much of the surface water is contami- nated by saltwater from the ocean. Ground water occurs in three major aquifers, all of which contain both freshwater and saltwater.

ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT The Coast Guard has undertaken research to iden- tify educational alternatives in its long term efforts to improve the safety of recreational boating. Other organizations involved in boating safety edu- cation may find the illustrative approaches valua- ble in designing their boating safety education ef- forts. This project deals with educational solutions to pleasure boat collision accidents. The intent of the project is to establish educational content and methods that address the more serious collision accident causes. These major collision accident causes have been identified, and demographic characteristics were determined for operators of boats involved in the more frequently occurring ac- cidents. Educational program objectives, program message content, delivery systems and consider- ations for execution of the program are being rec- ommended. This program principally utilizes elec- tronic and print mass media, and formal boating courses for dissemination of educational materials. The materials and concepts developed as educa- tional intervention for collision accidents are identi- fied in the video tape supplement to the Education- al Alternatives for Boating Safety Programs, 1978. It is understood that any use of the materials and concepts in an actual educational effort would be strictly voluntary on the part of the educating agency.

The purpose of this study was to develop concepts and initial designs for distributed, survivable direc- tion and control systems for civil preparedness in the mid-1980 time period. The study was orga- nized into the following tasks: (1) evaluate the ef- fectiveness of existing operational concepts of di- rection and control, and develop revised concepts, (2) review the state-of-the-art of command, con- trol, and communications in the U.S. Department of Defense, and evaluate its applicability to direc- tion and control, (3) develop alternative configura- tions for survivable direction and control, and (4) evaluate the cost-effectiveness of these alterna- tives. In this study, direction and control is defined to consist of the following functions: (1) decision making, coordination, and resource allocation, (2) emergency operations reporting, (3) warning, (4) emergency public information, (5) damage assess- ment and radiological defense, and (6) communi- cations. The project concluded that existing oper- ational concepts, procedures, and equipment components, especially long-range communica- tions, were unlikely to result in survivable direction and control in the 1980s threat environment. Re- vised concepts of operation are suggested, and new, more survivable communications techniques are described including: packet radio communica- tions, and meteor burst communications.

This report describes a post-occupancy evaluation of a small mining community in the high Arctic. Pro- viding superior housing, having wives work and in- tegrating singles, Inuits (the indigenous people) and families successfully established a viable community. Fewer problems were encountered than is usual in other isolated cold regions commu- nities. The central focal point of the town, a large dome, was diluted by later construction of build- ings housing separate recreational and social facil- ities. Since the buildings are too costly to remove, the only method of restoring the focal point is to build connecting links at upper levels of the recre- ational buildings. This would only restore the focal point to a fraction of its original effectiveness. Nanisivik is an important lesson for designing future cold regions communities. It provides a suc- cessful example of housing, organization of living groups, and integration of working and living envi- ronments, and a classic example of a missed focal point design.

A study was made to determine the influence of two computer-controlled traffic signal timing plans over a given route. The two plans are the existing plan based on SIGRID (Signal GRId Design pro- gram) and TRANSYT (Traffic Network Study Tool). The results show that under the TRANSYT timing plan, vehicles encountered fewer stops, saved time and used a slightly smaller amount of fuel than under the existing timing plan. Vehicle fuel consumption was computed using a computer model of a vehicle which used velocity profiles ob- tained from an instrumented 'floating' car. Single and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between the fuel con- sumption and the relatively easy-to-measure and statistically stable quantities such as trip time, number of stops and delay time. It was found that fuel consumption could be expressed adequately as a linear combination of trip time, number of stops and delay time. Using only two independent variables showed a combination of delay time and stops to be equally as good as a combination of travel time and stops. When restricted to a single independent variable, any one of them could be used for predicting fuel consumption.

In addressing the problem of helping poor people gain access to essential services, especially on the fringes of larger cities, in smaller urban cen- ters, and in rural areas, consideration was given to the identification and better use of existing tech- nology. What are the kinds of needs which the ap- propriate application of technology might address. Stated differently, what are the technological op- portunities. Two United Nations conferences sug- gested the focus on water and sanitation. Volume I is a review of the relevant literature on urban and rural water supplies and sewage systems and of experience in the use of various technologies and methodologies in providing these services. Issues are delineated and strategies are suggested for project development, including types of facilities which are suited for water and sanitation services to urban, urban fringe, and rural areas. Volume II considers the effective use of patents and propri- etary processes and methods and how they might be made more accessible to developing countries. Appended are a classification of relevant patents, a product directory, and a list of patents of particu- lar interest for use in developing water supply and sanitation facilities and services.

Mathematical models have often been proposed for use in solid waste management planning. The state of the art has been examined from the view- point of the practical guidance which a model can give to the waste disposal officer. A simple con- ceptual view of the waste management planning system is introduced and used to identify those points in the planning process where models may usefully be applied. Emphasis is given to models for "strategy evaluation," which is the type of model most commonly discussed. The problem is one of piecing together waste arisings and poten- tial facility types and locations for treatment, re- source recovery or disposal, to form a waste dis- posal plan. The various models are classified and discussed according to the assumptions made on important aspects of the real problem. The general conclusion reached is that models can be useful in a practical context, but that their successful use requires care and an understanding by the planner of the strengths and weaknesses of the tool he is using. A pragmatic approach to modelling is sug- gested, in which simple techniques are used first and more complex models are reserved for de- tailed study when the situation justifies it.

In order to adress barriers to community energy- conservation efforts, DOE has established the Comprehensive Community Energy Management (CCEM) program. The role of CCEM is to provide direction and technical support for energy-conser- vation efforts at the local level. The program to date has included project efforts to develop combi- nations and variations of community energy plan- ning and management tools applicable to° commu- nities of diverse characteristics. This paper de- scribes the salient features of some of the tools and relates them to the testing program soon to begin in several pilot-study communities. Two methodologies that arose within such an actual planning context are taken from DOE-sponsored projects in Clarksburg, West Virginia and the pro- posed new capital city for Alaska. Energy manage- ment in smaller communities and/or communities with limited funding and manpower resources has received special attention. One project of this type developed in general methodology that empha- sizes efficient ways for small communities to reach agreement on local energy problems and potential solutions; by this guidance, the community is led to understand where it should concentrate its efforts in subsequent management activities. Another project concerns rapid growth of either a new or an existing community that could easily outstrip the management resources available locally. This methodology strives to enable the community to seize the opportunity for energy conservation through integrating the design of its energy sys- tems and its development pattern. The last meth- odology creates applicable tools for comprehen- sive community energy planning. (ERA citation 04:003671) ANL/EES-CP-9 PC A02/MF A01 Argonne National Lab., IL.

In the process of developing environmental regula- tions and control strategies, it is helpful and often necessary to estimate costs associated with alter- nate approaches. Compliance costs to the private sector as well as implementation costs to enforce- ment agencies must be considered. To assist esti- mating state administrative and enforcement costs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has de- veloped a planning aid which provides a detailed review of enforcement agency activities quickly, minimizing the time required to collect source, monitoring, and cost data. The Air Pollution Con- trol Strategy Resource Estimator (APCSRE) is a computerized model which operates with an up- dated data base of NEDS, SAROAD, and cost in- formation. After calling the APCSRE model on an EPA terminal, the user defines the strategy to be evaluated. After a question and answer session the APCSRE model estimates expected manpow- er, equipment, and total dollar costs for implemen- tation of the strategy. This paper describes the APSCRE model and illustrates its application by estimating resource costs associated with imple- mentation of an ambient lead standard and a con- tinuous emission monitoring regulation.

The analysis is focused on the target area popula- tion and economic indicators. It is concluded that the area surrounding the plant is economically poor, if not in fact depressed. It is typical of older agricultural areas in much of the eastern U.S. The area is rural in character with little commercial and industrial development. The area is sparsely popu- lated with little prospect for significant increases in population. During the period of construction and operation of the reprocessing plant there ap- peared to be no consistent areawide patterns of socio-economic development. The only socio-eco- nomic impact which may be inferred from the pres- ence of the plant occurred in the immediate vicinity of the plant (i.e. the town of Ashford). This is not surprising considering the small scale of the em- ployment (150-250 persons) at the facility. Growth projections made in the early 1960's (at the time of plant development) were not met. Future county planning does not consider the plant a significant factor. In fact this is because the fate of the plant is out of local hands. More importantly, however, planning into the 1 980's and 1 990's shows that the plant is not expected to have future impact, (i.e. substantial new growth is not projected in the im- mediate vicinity of the facility.).

The decision to locate a fossil-fueled electrical power plant on a particular site involves trade-offs among the costs of: (1) land acquisition, (2) plant construction, operation, and maintenance, (3) power transmission, and (4) air pollution damage to humans, animals, plants and materials. The fourth of these, pollution costs, has been of great concern in recent years. But seldom, if ever, are the specific dollar trade-offs between the environ- mental and the other costs associated with site se- ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT lection taken into account. The sum of the costs of power generation (land, construction, operation, maintenance), power transmission, and air pollu- tion damages (from sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates) is the total social cost of a fossil- fuel plant; this total cost will generally vary by site. This paper presents an analysis of the total social cost, and the trade-offs between generation/trans- mission and air pollution costs, for various types of fossil plants at different sites in northern Illinois. The analysis identifies the combinations of site, fossil fuel, and sulfur dioxide (SO sub 2 ) control technology that minimize total social costs.

The air pollutant carbon monoxide (CO) is pro- duced by incomplete combustion in motor vehi- cles, space heating, industrial processes, and in- cineration. Current research indicates that higher density residential developments, because they lead to reduced demand for fuels for home heating and transportation, tend to lower total carbon mon- oxide emissions. However, it is in these same areas that concentrations of CO are the highest because of the density of emitters. Since carbon monoxide standards specify maximum allowable concentrations rather than emissions, they tend to deter further development in locations where con- centrations are already high - i.e., high density downtown areas. This deterrent effect contributes to greater total emissions of carbon monoxide; hence, it may be desirable to devise a means of controlling the public's risk of exposure to high CO levels in downtown areas without deterring new center city residential development. In protecting the public from the risk of exposure to damaging levels of carbon monoxide, two approaches are possible; the pollutant's concentration may be low- ered by traffic management measures or the pub- lic's rate of exposure may be reduced through urban design features. The present emphasis on traffic management stresses improving the flow and reducing the level of traffic, goals that are ex- tremely costly to achieve in downtown areas. This paper examines ways to reduce risk of exposure by the physical design of new downtown residen- tial developments. The concept is not a novel one, having been successfully implemented in industry to provide occupational health and safety.

The structural and developmental components as- sociated with the way society uses energy can best be dealt with through an understanding of land use, with all that that term implies. The imple- mentation of energy conservation strategies in- tended to effect the long-term structural changes that determine energy growth requires that an un- derstanding of the interdependences between the use of land and the use of energy be developed. Such a project was initiated in June 1974 with four specific goals: (1) to improve the generic under- standing of the relationship between land use and energy utilization; (2) to establish a methodology and the technical information for the derivation of the energy demands associated with alternative land use policies; (3) to assess the influence of a selected set of energy-conserving measures on total energy demand in a region; and (4) to provide local, regional, and state land-use planners with a data base and a set of procedures for incorporat- ing energy conservation considerations into their choices and decisions with respect to future land use.

This review of energy information needs and activi- ties in the State of New York and in 20 other states provides background for the types of policy issues and data critical to the design of an energy infor- mation/analytic system. The basic conceptual framework employed in the design is similar to that of the regional versions of the Brookhaven Refer- ence Energy System. This framework is similar to that used in many state systems, for example, in proposed systems for the states of Nebraska and New Jersey and in existing systems in Maryland, Wisconsin, California, and New England. This framework is sufficiently general to permit the ex- amination of a wide range of state energy policy issues and will provide an integrated picture of the state's energy supply-distribution-demand system which can be utilized by technical staff and policy makers to gain insight into the complex interaction between economic, technological, social, and en- vironmental factors. The system is structured as a set of four basic elements-a broad base of state- specific data and information, a computerized re- trieval system with easy terminal access to nation- al data bases, adaptation of useful analytical models, and a modular construction which will allow sequential development of full capabilities of the total system. Finally, an action plan describes the sequence of tasks and costs required to imple- ment a working system. This action plan serves to establish a base of data and report capability to deliver to decision makers a comprehensive over- view of the state energy system, disaggregated fuel flows to specific end use sectors, flows to geo- graphic regions in the state, trends in energy supply and consumption patterns, and other basic energy information.

This report, one of a series prepared for the BNL study of the Energy Future of the Northeastern United States, presents an assessment of the po- tential contribution of energy recovery from munici- pal refuse to energy supply in the region. A brief review of the present and likely future quantity and composition of municipal refuse and the technol- ogies available for energy recovery (Chapters II and III) is followed by a comparison of the potential contributions to energy supply of the various re- covery options including direct firing in utility boil- ers, pyrolysis to oil or gas, and steam generation for industrial process heat or district space heating (Chapter IV). The relationship of refuse energy re- covery to market conditions for alternative energy sources is considered in Chapter V, which also in- cludes an analysis of the impact of haul costs, in- terest rates, and delivered prices of the major fuels. Institutional barriers to implementation of energy recovery are reviewed in Chapter VI, and the environmental implications of the concept are addressed in Chapter VII. In the concluding chap- ters, scenarios of energy recovery are developed for 1985 and 2000, and the sensitivity of overall energy yield to projections and assumptions is ex- amined. Although even under the most optimistic assumptions, refuse energy recovery is found to contribute only some 5 percent of total regional consumption, the economic and environmental benefits, coupled with the increasing difficulty of finding other refuse disposal alternatives, make energy recovery a very attractive policy choice for helping to relieve future energy supply difficulties in the Northeast.

The rapidly increasing energy demand has brought increased emphasis on the conversion of coal and oil shale to fluid fuels. These solid fuels provide a significantly greater pollution potential than petro- leum. For the conversion program to be success- ful, effort must be directed toward the establish- ment of meaningful emissions standards. Yet meaningful regulations cannot be established for these processes without reliable emission stream data that are not now available. While the need for stream composition data is widely recognized, the complexity of the technology and the absence of representative equipment combined with the need for complex sampling and analytical procedures have limited progress in data acquisition. This sym- posium has convened as a move toward the shar- ing of knowledge and planning. Separate entries were made for 5 sections.

Keywords: *Air quality, 'Environmental policy, 'Pollution regulations, 'Meetings, *Air pollution abatement, Decision making, Recommendations, ERDA/500600, ERDA/293000. The problem of air pollution control can be ap- proached via two alternative though not mutually exclusive policies: management of emissions and management of air quality. In the former, emphasis is placed on the technology for control of effluents. Air quality management, on the other hand, entails the establishment of air quality goals based upon stated criteria or public policies. Emissions are then limited to the extent necessary to attain and maintain such goals. In the Clean Air Act of 1967, the amendments of 1970, and the most recently proposed amendments of 1 976, the U.S. Congress has consistently endorsed a national policy of air quality management. The need within the national air pollution control program for a guidance docu- ment on air quality analysis persists. The EPA/ Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has been given the responsibility for de- veloping the requisite Guideline. The federal EPA and the states had to fulfill the important air quality management responsibilitiesemploying the state- of-the-art in analytical methods, the conferees were challenged to advise EPA on the best availa- ble approaches to modeling air quality impacts and to concur with or where possible recommend im- provements to the many aspects of the problem addressed in the Guideline.

Workshops were conducted in 5 cities to improve communications between the states and the Fed- eral government so that both might be better pre- pared to avoid or mitigate the impacts of energy emergencies during the winter; to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information regard- ing selected energy demand restraint measures which could be implemented by individual states or regions in an energy emergency; and to promote the concept of pre-crisis contingency planning and strategy development, with particuliar emphasis on the need for interstate coordination of emergency plans. The major topics addressed by the discus- sion guide involved net energy use impact, imple- mentation procedures and problems, and social and economic effects. The Task Force performed extensive research into the technical consider- ations and prior experience in implementing each of the demand restraint measures selected for dis- cussion. Results and conclusions are summarized for reduction of thermostat setting for space condi- tioning and water heating; reduction in hours of op- eration and lighting in commercial establishments; reduction in hours of operation in school, and in- dustrial fuel substitution.

Keywords: 'Nuclear power plants, 'Economic impact, Construction, Reactor operation, Reactor sites, Socio-economic factors, ERDA/220501, ERDA/290200, Employment, Property taxes, Taxes. An attempt is made to broaden the purview of fiscal impact analysis to include impacts on the local private sector that may stem from local public sector changes. More specifically, attention is fo- cused on the limiting case, in which new private sector development yields positive changes in fiscal capacity, but does not increase public serv- ice demands or interact with the local private sector. This phenomenon is termed a "pure" change in fiscal capacity, or, stated differently, pure tax revenue importation. Interest in this issue stems from an analysis of the local impacts of con- structing and operating nuclear power stations. Nuclear power stations, like other electrical gener- ating facilities, are characterized by large capital- labor ratios, implying that the impact of siting would be to increase local taxable capacity, via the prop- erty tax base, to a greater extent than local private sector activity, via new hirings. Moreover, a small labor force implies a modest change in the demand for local public services, and facilities of this nature by themselves demand few, if any, public services. A nuclear power station, however, may be distinguished from other electrical generat- ing facilities through siting regulations that require locating in a low population density area, a fact which ensures the influence on the community will be substantial. The question of how and to what degree feedback effects from local public to local private sector may take place is described.

Comments on various renewable energy technol- ogies to which urban areas may convert are made. Community- or city-scale use of solar and wind power cannot economically or practically compete with oil presently. Surface water and ground water both contain quantities of heat that can be extract- ed by using a heat pump or piping systems. The technology for extracting the heat is available for use on a neighborhood or industrial park level. Solid and liquid wastes and biomass hold promise for producing urban energy. One ignored energy source is better utilization of the fuel used for elec- tricity production. The overall fuel efficiency of the plants can be improved if the waste heat is deliv- ered to customers for use in heating and cooling their homes and businesses. The technology for transferring the heat by hot water or steam exists. The author then cites two examples of community scale use of energy systems. An analysis at Sol- dier's Grove, Wisconsin, revealed that the town could burn waste wood from nearby lumber mills in a central boiler to supply heating, cooling, and do- mestic hot water. The systems, only using oil for ignition, should pay back in about 2 years. An Ar- gonne study showed that large cities' (Philadel- phia) heating loads could be supplied profitably through district heating using power plant waste heat, at a cost of over $2 billion, but at a payback period of less than 9 years (1978 study). Other problems facing urban areas to exploit other energy sources are briefly noted. (ERA citation 04:056816) CONF-7909120-1 PC A02/MF A01 Argonne National Lab., IL.

The dollar- and time-cost properties of characteris- tics of rail and highway shipments on links are in- vestigated. The basic assumption is that shippers will alter their choice of mode or route as changes occur in the perceived characteristics or properties of these routes. It is posited that their choice is based on three properties and characteristics: the cost (price) of the shipment; the time of transit; and the variability of delivery. Calculations were made for all direct costs; this includes the cost of the transport units but not the cost of the terminals. For the railways, this is the so-called over-the-rail costs. For the trucks, this is the cost that an owner- operator would face in owning and operating his own equipment. (ERA citation 05:00731 3) COO-4382-1 PC A04/MF A01 Pittsburgh Univ., PA.

Data was collected from each EPA region, each state environmental protection agency, and cer- tain U.S. cities relative to oil, gas, and electricity usage for purposes of wastewater sludge inciner- ation. At present, in the U.S., 7.2x10 exp 1 2 Btu of 11 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT premium fuels are utilized for sludge incineration, 68% of which is from gas and 31.5% from oil. Major urban areas at present utilize 3.5x10 exp 1 2 Btu/yr of these fuels of which 99.5% is from natu- ral gas. By considering sludge incinerators planned and under construction, it may be expect- ed that by 1980, about 9.1 x 10 exp 12 Btu of pre- mium fuels will be used for this purpose. If ocean dumping and landfilling of sludge were prohibited, and all major urban areas were to utilize sludge in- cineration, about 32 x 10 exp 12 Btu (or 159,000 heating equivalents) of premium fuels would be used for this purpose. Coal may be utilized to re- place the premium fuels used for sludge inciner- ation. Powdered coal may be utilized in biological reactors as nucleation sites for bio-floc develop- ment resulting in enhanced biological processing efficiency, while the resulting coal-biological sludge mixture may be sent to the sludge inciner- ator. Powdered coal usage at levels dictated by bio-reactor requirements indicate that the possibil- ity exists to recover surplus coal-sludge generat- ed energy from incineration and that 60 x 10 exp 12 Btu of premium fuel would be up for public use. The total social impact of this incinerator is about 450,000 home heating equivalents of energy, about 77.5% of which is located in major urban areas.

The emphasis is on conservation through improved uti- lization and conversion, and the use of refuse and coal. Energy characteristics of a large commercial building are described. The use of incinerated urban refuse to generate industrial process steam is discussed, as is the option of using Refuse De- rived Fuel (RDF) to supplement coal in an urban electrical generating station. The potential for co- generation, the process of efficient simultaneous production of thermal and electrical power, is con- sidered within the context of the electric utility and the private industry. The direct use of coal is con- sidered for an industrial cogeneration plant using fluidized-bed combustion and gas turbine technol- ogy.

The relatively low temperature of thermal dis- charges from steam-electric power plants makes waste-heat utilization difficult without modification of the power cycle and attendant reduction in elec- trical energy generated. In situ beneficial use of waste heat by direct once-through condenser dis- charge into a municipal water supply is discussed. Computations are presented regarding the match- ing of flow rates, heat losses in distribution and energy savings. A number of benefits and penal- ties are also assessed qualitatively including legal and operational aspects and reliability. Especially attractive are improvements in electrical generat- ing efficiency, and savings in water-heater energy. Secondary advantages include alleviation of pipe freeze up in winter and improved efficiency of slightly heated waste-water treatment. Penalties include additional pumping power for distribution in the water supply due to increased back pressure on the steam turbines which employ condensers cooled by the water they pump. Additional chlorine is also required to maintain a residual concentra- tion in the distribution system. There may also be difficulties with public acceptance of water pre- heated by up to about 24 exp F, especially in summer. The water supply of greater Chicago and 4880 MW(e) of colocated fossil-fired load-follow- ing generating capacity were analyzed as a hypo- thetical test case. It was concluded that the net annual energy savings is 23 x 10 exp 12 B, equiva- lent to 4 million bbl of oil, with a net savings in cost of $12. /capita for the population of 4.66 m. While not developed for energy conservation purposes, three actual systems with operating experience are summarized. In order to determine feasibility of application, site-specific systems analysis is re- quired. (ERA citation 05:016099) CTS-75-17 PC A03/MF A01 Massachusetts Inst, of Tech., Cambridge.

One view of the transportation system of the nation is that it consists of a large number of indi- vidual city-pair markets. The markets are different sizes, are located different distances from each other, and are served by a variety of transportation services. By summing the transportation activities found in each of these city-pair markets, the over- all transportation system of the nation can be de- scribed. This approach ignores the complexity of the transport network and alternate paths through it on purpose. A major reason for focusing on city- pair markets rather than on the multi-modal net- work which makes up the overall system is that in- dividual markets, with their hinterlands are easier to understand and to work with. Obviously, identify- ing those links which function as the connecting tissue, and disentangling them from the larger net- work poses problems but it is relatively straight for- ward. The result is an abstract representation of the city-pair markets connected by single links of the various modes. This approach does not com- pletely ignore the complexity of travel over the net- works. It merely focuses attention in the first in- stance on those attributes of travel between the cities which are important to the carriers which offer service in the market and to those shippers and receivers who seek it.

The State Energy Conservation Program was es- tablished on December 22, 1975 by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The Program pro- vides a means by which a State may voluntarily enter into a cooperative effort with the Federal Government to further that State's energy conser- vation efforts. Under the program, each State bears the responsibility for developing and imple- menting a comprehensive State energy conserva- tion plan. The Federal government, in turn, pro- vides both technical assistance and financial sup- port. Eligibility is extended to all 50 States, the Dis- trict of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific-a total of 56 jurisdictions. Fifty-five of the 56 jurisdictions are participating. The program goal is to reduce the energy consumption within each participating jurisdiction by 5% or more annu- ally by 1980. The goals set by the individual plans as finally approved and funded range from about 4.1% to nearly 10% savings over DOE's baseline forecast for 1980 (with the exception of American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, which fall below this range).

During the past four years, the Congress has en- acted four major laws authorizing the Federal gov- ernment to develop and implement specific energy-conservation programs. These include the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (state energy conservation program); Energy Conserva- tion and Production Act of 1976 (weatherization assistance program); Energy Research and Devel- opment Administration Authorization Act of 1977 (EES); National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 (schools, hospitals, public-care institution programs, and residential conservation services). In addition, there are three other programs: urban waste program, community systems program, and appropriate technology program. Based on a survey of DOE and other Federal agencies, fifty additional programs which have as a primary goal the provision of a service related to reducing energy demand have been identified throughout the Federal government and are included in this report. The main body of the report describes in detail coordination efforts related to all major Con- servation and Solar Applications Office energy- conservation programs involving state and local governments.

The range of programs examined focuses on financial and legal incentives designed to speed the implementation of solar heating, cool- ing, and hot water systems. They have been evalu- ated by probing the wording of the incentive legis- lation and by interviewing state program adminis- trators in each state to determine: (1) the extent, if any, of passive inclusion in solar-incentive pro- grams, and (2) the level of success that various implementation techniques have achieved for en- couraging passive solar designs as opposed to the more-commonly-understood active systems. Be- cause no states have initiated incentive legislation designed exclusively to encourage passive solar techniques, it has been essential to determine whether legislative programs explicitly or implicitly include passive solar or if they explicitly exclude it.

As the prices of domestically produced and import- ed energy continue to skyrocket, the need for in- creased efforts to save energy grows. While states and their political subdivisions can encourage energy conservation in a variety of ways, they can set an example for their citizens and save energy themselves by becoming more conscious of the energy impacts of government purchasing and more committed to energy-efficient procurement. This report examines the progress made by states in this area since the enactment in 1975 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). One part of this law authorizes Federal assistance to states for the preparation and implementation of energy-conservation plans to include, among other elements, energy-efficient procurement standards and policies. Three and a half years after EPCA's passage, state and local energy-efficient procure- ment programs, with a few exceptions, have barely advanced beyond infancy. The major reasons for this are a lack of reliable energy-efficiency informa- tion on many energy-consuming products, a resist- ance to change on the part of purchasing officials or their superiors, and a reluctance in the tax-revolt era to spend money in order to save money as well as energy. To overcome these obstacles, states and localities should consider mandating energy- efficient procurement practices through either ex- ecutive orders or legislation. In addition, states and localities should consider adopting institutional ar- rangements, such as centralized purchasing and joint or cooperative purchasing that will facilitate energy-efficient procurement. To further state and local efforts in this area, the Federal government should provide technical and financial assistance to an organization or purchasing officials to estab- lish an information clearinghouse.

The study focuses on the role of states in address- ing the nation's energy needs. States are expected to collect data, provide information, plan and manage energy programs, regulate public and pri- vate activities, and be catalysts in inducing signifi- cant energy conservation by state agencies, local governments, and the general public. Some 44 separate energy programs and policies which in- volve states, and are administered by 8 Federal departments, are examined. Of these programs, 17 received primary emphasis and were selected for further detailed study, and were divided into conservation programs/policies and supply pro- grams/policies. Field studies in 8 selected Case Study States were selected so that they would be representative of the problems and opportunities associated with energy production and consump- tion. The states were Alabama, California, Colora- do, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Texas. The study approach described and analyzed state energy capabilities, existing prob- lems and opportunities, and the Federal govern- ment's role in aiding and improving state energy capabilities. The range of Federal energy pro- grams and policies is outlined, and the burdens these programs place on the states are explored Final chapters contain the analyses.

This discussion represents a qualitative assess- ment of the dimensions of opinion concerning the commercialization potential of urban-waste tech- nologies. It was generally agreed that energy pro- duction from urban wastes is technically feasible and, in certain situations, commercially viable, but that is unlikely that the resource will provide more than a small fraction of national energy supply. Barriers to the commercialization of the urban- waste energy-production systems that were dis- cussed include problems in serving long-term con- tracts, uncertainty about environmntal laws, prob- lems with the supply of refuse, disposal and use of residue, uncertainties about future tax laws, legal barriers, technical reliability, and citizen dissent The general feeling was that these barriers would be overcome over time as experience with produc- tion systems is gained. Potential government poli- cies that received expressions of support include long-term sales commitments, grandfather clauses in new environmental laws, and legal aid to municipalities. However, there was little indica- tion of either the need for or the desirability of large-scale direct government action in this area. In general, participants' views seemed to agree with the criticality assessments made previously by DOE. The only major additional consideration was the potential benefits and conflicts involved in the relationship between recycling and energy use of urban wastes. There was also marked disagree- ment between participants and DOE about the rel- ative importance of safety regulations. They were not generally aware of any such regulations that would have a major impact on their business.

This study was undertaken by the National Associ- ation of Counties Research Foundation to deter- mine what effects thermal codes have had on counties. Public Law 94-385 requires states and localities to adopt, by 1981, thermal efficiency codes no less stringent than ASHRAE 90-75. The data assembled in this report supports three im- portant conclusions: counties have the capacity to implement state energy codes on time and in a workmanship manner; the data is a composite of the experience obtained from field trips; and the dynamic nature of the energy conservation arena is shown. The need for fathering further informa- tion is indicated. Four exhibits are included: Selec- tion Criteria, Monthly Reports, photocopies of writ- ten comments on the report, and a summary of Task Force meeting of September 1976 and March 1977.

A study to determine what effect the implementa- tion of state mandated Thermal Efficiency Codes has had, if any on counties is discussed. In July 1 976, there were 1 9 states with authority to regu- late energy use through the regulation of the design and the construction of new buildings. In 16 states a state-wide building code was a vehicle for energy regulations. Three states (California, Nevada, and New York) have energy regulations separate from state-wide building code authority. Five counties selected for study are: Lane County, Oregon; Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; Montgomery County, Maryland; Sacremento County, California; and Washington County, Min- nesota. The energy situation in each state was ex- amined to reveal supply and consumption patterns and shortages, if any. It is concluded that counties that have a building code and an experienced staff can accommodate and energy code which estab- lishes certain standard practices as a minimum.

Construction and operation of a 50-MW wood-fired power plant could have a profound influence on the rural region in which it is located. Using Depart- ment of Commerce regional data, input-output computer analysis techniques are employed to es- timate the effects on local income and employ- ment of constructing and operating such a plant in a three-county region in northern Vermont. In gen- eral, the result was a total new annual income for local industries of about double the plant's yearly outlay. The increase in local income also created new jobs; regional unemployment rates could theoretically drop about one-half of one percent because of the plant's presence. Because most of the plant's expenditures in the three-county region will be for labor, the industries that profit most from its spending will be the retail, wholesale, food, and apparel businesses, which depend on individual consumer sales. These businesses are likely to suffer a mild recession after the relatively intense two-year construction phase, as operation-phase annual expenditures are substantially lower than construction phase levels and require fewer work- 14 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ers. However, with proper planning, regional busi- nesses and individual workers should be able to benefit substantially from both phases of the plant's activities.

Along with the expansion of adult education has come an increased awareness of the needs of adults for information on career development and on the role education can play in that develop- ment, and for assistance in locating the specific courses or curricula which meet their needs. This report is directed to policy-makers in Federal and state agencies who are interested in or who manage counseling and information services for adults. It reviews and examines 'first generation' activities (i.e., the Learning Exchange, CATALYST) and identifies fruitful directions for next generation efforts. Three major topics are addressed: (1) the groups who are served by the projects and those who are not; (2) the kinds and sources of data used and the mechanisms and techniques for pre- senting and delivering information and counseling to the adult client; and (3) the financial viability of these services beyond initial agency funding. Final- ly, issues concerning the evaluation of these serv- ices are discussed. Recommendations for actions by Federal agencies are given and focus on: (1) the need for further research and development, (2) the directions which new project funding should take, and (3) the need for actions by Federal agen- cies beyond continuing financial support.

The Carnegie Branch of the Houston Public Library (HPL) has attempted to establish credibility in a low income, Spanish speaking neighborhood by making the library visible to individuals on the street, contacting community leaders, and working with dropouts, the Branch, selected to implement a Neighborhood Information Center (NIC), estab- lished a shopping center book table and can- vassed the community to distribute library cards. The shopping center distribution was quantitatively successful; both methods permitted the staff to meet non-library users. The Library established co- operation with the Mexican American Education Council, resulting in consideration of a cooperative learning center and community education pro- gram. Programs for the aging and Adult Basic Edu- cation (ABE) were established. The Library discov- ered, however, that guidelines and limits were needed for community group activities within the library. Experience showed that: (1) ABE programs help identify and serve non-library users; (2) agency cooperation enhances the possibility for success; (3) credibility must be established with community agencies and leaders to achieve coop- eration; and (4) materials in a particular language must be available to serve the needs of a language group. Through the NIC, support from the HPL, and staff committed to community service, the Branch achieved the communication of innovative action in the community. 15 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ED-143 372 Not available NTIS Queen's Univ., Kingston (Ontario).

This study explored the relationship between inno- vations in communication services and changes in other forms of socio-economic behavior. It fo- cused on five communities in the Eastern Arctic and a control community in Northwestern Ontario, each with a different level of communications serv- ice. Interviews were conducted, and time-series data were collected on 40 variables ranging from 'telephone installations' to 'food sales' to 'school pupils.' The latter information was analyzed via a comparison of standardized data in graphical form. The analysis indicates that: (1) natives use the communication services in the same way as non- natives, (2) there is a general transition away from 'traditional' ways of life in the economic and edu- cational spheres, (3) the number of telephones is associated with the level of food sales, and (4) the degree of change in communication service (tele- phone) is related to the level of subscriptions when the exchange is upgraded.

The Graphic Arts/Public Relations (GA/PR) pro- gram of the Capitol Region Library Council (CRLC) of Connecticut proposed to increase the public's awareness of libraries and library services in the Capitol Region, and increase public relations awareness in libraries. It was an outreach of pro- gram that attempted to have positive effects on the public and librarians of the region. The region studied is comprised of 29 towns including the state capital, Hartford. Public libraries that were members of the CRLC, a regional, cooperative, non-governmental organization, were offered the opportunity to participate in the program. Through the dissemination of public-oriented materials, the program attempted to improve the image of the li- brary where it was negative and create or strength- en a positive image. A GA/PR specialist was hired. Throughout the program, the specialist provided materials in multiple, prepared press releases, and distributed a newsletter to librarians. Thirteen of the twenty-two public library members became in- volved. Participation was based upon a contribu- tion to the materials budget. Eleven of the libraries paid set fees, while the other two were allowed to participate because of their contributions to the Council. From the responses of the CRLC libraries and from the evaluations prepared by the special- ist, the program met its initial objectives. Librarians began to realize the importance of quality pro- duced materials. The public received positive statements of the library's worth and the program continued in its efforts to show that the library ex- isted for the good of the public.

Major developments in the history of education and television centered around broadcasting in the 1950's, then closed circuit applications, the growth of video recording, and more recently the use of satellites. During its 25 year history, educational television in the U.S. has seen the growth of a tele- vision college in Chicago, a video university (the University of Mid-America) in Nebraska and the mid-west, the Children's Television Workshop pro- grams for pre-school education (Sesame Street) and for reading improvement (The Electric Compa- ny). The results of a major survey of instructional television uses throughout the United States by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting indicate that television is firmly established in the formal education system of the country. Television's ef- fectiveness for many applications in the education- al system in the United States has assured it a firm place in instructional programming at the elemen- tary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. TV ap- plications currently include several county wide systems, and a brief description of the Broward County, Florida, and Washington County, Mary- land, systems concludes the presentation.

Because of the increasingly important role of New Source Performance Standards in the national air quality program and the large number of catego- ries for which standards are being developed, a clearly defined procedure for selecting category priorities and establishing schedules for standard promulgation is a necessity. This report describes a methodology that has been developed for select- ing priorities and schedules based on projected re- ductions in emissions resulting from the individual standards and other considerations related to technological, legal, institutional, and conservation factors.

Emission density zoning (EDZ) is an air pollution control strategy that sets emission limits for certain areas of land; these limits restrict the rate of pollut- ant emission per unit area (such as grams per second per hectare). Legal issues involving EDZ are examined. Many of the legal arguments ap- plied to EDZ, and the conclusions reached, also may be applied to other types of land-use-based emission quota strategies, such as floating zone emission quotas, jurisdictional emission quotas, and district emission quotas. EDZ can be consid- ered as either a land-use or air pollution control technique; each interpretation raises different legal questions. EDZ probably would be upheld as a valid technique under the Clean Air Act and its amendments, but modifications of state air pollu- tion control or land-use-management enabling leg- islation may be needed to ensure implementation. EDZ also raises constitutional questions of equal protection and due process, but these issues largely depend on the particular administrative mechanisms used to implement EDZ. Legal issues also may arise if EDZ is considered a pollution dis- persal rather than a pollution abatement strategy The legal questions concerning EDZ may best be resolved through explicit state enabling legislation that clearly delegates authority to local, regional, and state agencies, and establishes strong mech- anisms for intergovernmental coordination.

Fossil energy RD and D facilities require environmental monitoring for two basic reasons, the first related to compliance with feder- al, state, and local laws and regulations, and the second related to the programmatic aspects of de- veloping environmentally acceptable ways of using fossil fuels. With respect to compliance, DOE is re- quired by federal law and presidential executive order to monitor any of its facilities which have a National Pollution Discharges Elimination System permit (for water) and/or a New Source permit (for air). In addition, it is desirable for DOE to demon- strate, through monitoring, that is in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations in order to promote public acceptance of advanced fossil energy technologies. Such monitoring will permit DOE to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by modifying operations if ambient en- vironmental conditions produced by a given facility exceed tolerable limits.

This study was instigated in response to the grow- ing national concern over the rapidly expanding rate of energy use in the face of possible fuel shortages. It is primarily concerned with the poten- tial impacts and energy efficiencies of short-term policies designed to induce auto drivers to shift to public transit. The energy efficiencies of various urban passenger transportation modes are ana- lyzed, including automobile, bus, rapid rail, com- muter rail, and Dial-a-Ride transit. Policies to induce mode shifts to public transit are structured into alternative scenarios for evaluation. Possible urbanized area transportation energy savings as well as reductions in vehicle miles of travel are es- timated first for individual representative cities and then expanded to a national level. Representative cost evaluations of policy actions are included as well. Finally, note is made of projected secondary or indirect impacts of policy design and implemen- tation. Four scenarios were constructed for evalu- ation. Scenario I consists of modest transit en- hancements, Scenario II major transit enhance- ments, Scenario III the same major transit en- hancements combined with auto disincentives, and Scenario IV automobile disincentives alone. The analytical procedures used to estimate the travel mode shifts and energy savings that could be achieved with alternative strategies were ap- plied in the context of actual urban conditions. As it was clearly impractical to prepare separate analy- ses for all urbanized areas, one representative city was chosen from each of four groupings. Collec- tively, these four groups covered all urbanized areas in the country. The groupings were made on the basis of transit utilization for journey-to-work purposes and the presence or lack of an extensive rail system. Four representative cities chosen for this study were Albuquerque, San Diego, Chicago, and Baltimore.

On June 30, 1975 the Federal Energy Administra- tion (FEA) issued prohibition orders to the Wiscon- sin Public Service Corp. which, if made effective would prohibit the burning of petroleum products or natural gas as the primary energy source for power plant 2 at the Weston Generating Station. Power plant 2 currently burns natural gas and coal. The probable ultimate results of making effective these prohibition orders would be to convert these power plants to 100 percent coal firing. The Envi- ronmental Assessment of the proposed action at the Weston Station was thoroughly reviewed and the potential environmental impacts of converting to 100 percent coal firing were as follows. The prin- cipal air quality impacts are increased emissions of particulate matter and SO sub 2 , but air concen- trations of both will be well below Federal and state air quality standards. Other air pollutants are not expected to have an impact on ambient air quality. No new water pollutant criteria are expect- ed to be violated by the fuel conversion. No im- pacts on aquatic habitats would result. No endan- gered or threatened species are known to occur in the generating station site area. No historic sites would be affected. Based on this environmental assessment, FEA has determined that the issu- ance of a Notice of Effectiveness to Weston Gen- erating Station, power plant 2, will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the National Environmental Policy Act, and FEA will prepare a negative determination on the issu- ance of the Notice of Effectiveness to the Weston Generating Station certifying that this action is not "a Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment" and does not require preparation of an environmental impact states pur- suant to the NEPA.

Because of the availability of strippable low-sulfur coal deposits, the energy-rich western states are expected to play a major role in supplying the na- tion's future energy needs. When large-scale energy resource development occurs within a short period of time in an area unaccustomed to such sudden growth, local government revenues and capital investment in the local services sector fail to keep pace with growing demands. The se- verity of socio-economic impacts depends upon the type of development, original population size, rate of growth, location, existing local services and facilities, quality of planning, adequacy of financial management system, etc. The problems are com- plicated by the fact that population influxes peak in the early years of development when communities are least able to cope. As a result, housing, public facilities, and local service may not be able to keep pace with the demands of the growing population. This report responds directly to a Request For Pro- posal, dated December 7, 1976, prepared by the City of Gillette, Wyoming with the advice and as- sistance of the State of Wyoming Department of Economic and Planning Development.

Sizemore and Associates, Architects and Energy Planners, developed a methodology for creation of energy-management plans suitable for use by small communities, which they can quickly apply themselves without extensive equipment, re- sources, data, or expertise. It was determined that through the involvement of the community the re- sulting energy-management plan would have the most success of support and implementation; in addition, choices of strategies that a community might take would be narrowed down as the com- munity identified what mattered to them. The methodology in this report then becomes a series of steps which a community can take to identify its motivations for creating a plan, what its goals are, the possible modifications it can make to its physi- cal environment or community life, and then quick- ly evaluate and describe the impact the various modifications might have so that they can decide what to do first. This flowchart should enable a community to avoid the misdirected efforts normal- ly encountered. The methodology that Sizemore and Associates developed has been developed in conjunction with an energy-management study of LaGrange, Georgia, a small community with a pop- ulation of 26,000 with outstanding leadership in the local government; an extremely capable local util- ity director; the commitment of the citizens to ac- tively participate in energy-conservation efforts; and the stability of a long-established textile indus- try as well as the development of several new in- dustries not associated with textiles.

The fundamental objective of the work described in this interim report is to accelerate the use of energy technologies in local government. To achieve this objective, the energy needs of repre- sentative jurisdictions are identified. A User Re- quirements Committee was formed for the purpose of assisting the program in the selection of these energy needs and identifying the most appropriate solution that matches the energy need. One energy technology was selected for immediate im- plementation (i.e., The Energy Conservation Ret- rofit Manual for Existing Public Institutional Facili- ties) and an agenda of other energy technologies was developed for future implementations in urban communities. The discussion of each of the above topics is presented in detail in this interim report. The results of three Urban Technology System demonstration sites will show the best method to accelerate energy conservation in buildings using the manual. This information will be made availa- ble to those urban communities that are imple- menting building energy-conservation programs or are conducting a building energy-conservation planning program. Several conclusions can be identified after the first program year. First, a sig- nificant number of local government officials are eager and willing to participate in energy-conser- vation programs that can provide direct benefit to local governments in general. Second, an existing technology delivery system (the Urban Technology System) is successfully being used to implement energy technologies in local governments.

The technical and operational development of pre- paring and burning a coal-oil mixture (COM) has been underway for many years. The increase in fuel costs and the need to reduce foreign oil im- ports have caused increased interest and activity in this process during recent years. The Depart- ment of Energy has demonstrated various aspects of COM firing in the laboratory and industrial boil- ers, but a major application in utility central station boilers has yet to be tested on a continuous basis. The NEPSCO program is a major step forward; a full scale test program to fire COM to 30% of coal by weight in a high pressure boiler designed for both coal and oil firing. The only major modification to the present boiler, air heater, precipitator, fans and stack is the installation of a commercially available burner considered highly suitable for the expected characteristics of COM. Studies have been conducted to determine a method to produce a stable COM and to store and transport the mate- rial reliably and economically. These studies inves- tigated blending techniques, stabilizing additives, and rheology of COM. Results of studies, equip- ment selection and system designs will be evaluat- ed during a two-phase test program. Feasibility Testing, the initial phase is a six-week partial load program leading to the second, or Demonstration Phase, a one-year program that will prove long term operating, maintenance and environmental compatability of COM combustion.

Conservation is a means for making good use of taxpayers' money. As the cost of energy in- creases, the value of conservation increases equivalently. Local government officials are not only responsible for using tax money wisely, but also have plans ready for emergency energy sup- plies. In this guide, the emphasis is on buildings and vehicle fleets. According to a study by ASHRAE, a 48.1% saving in school buildings and a 59.7% saving in office buildings can be achieved with modifications of insulation, wiring, ventilation, and lighting systems. An average 30% saving can be achieved by lowering driving speeds from 70 to 50 mph. Energy-saving driving habits can cut fuel consumption by as much as 20%.

Consistent with the Water Pollution Act of 1 965 the Clear Water Restoration Act of 1966, and the Fed- eral Water Pollution Act Amendment of 1972, and realizing the importance of long-range planning, studies were performed to examine the effect of the legislation on the methods of waste manage- ment for thermal power plants. Streams in eight major drainage areas in the United States were ex- amined for direct cooling capacities. Generally, the effect has been the virtual elimination of once- through cooling at inland sites for new power plants. As a consequence of the trend to off- stream cooling, regional limitations of surface water supplies with respect to the consumptive use requirements of wet cooling towers and cool- ing ponds were studied. Results showed that, by the year 2000, severe to major water problems are projected for the Colorado and California regions with major to moderate problems projected for the Great Basin, Upper Colorado, Rio Grande, Texas Gulf, Missouri and Middle Atlantic regions. An in- formation retrieval system was developed for water data as related to the generation of electric- ity by thermal power plants.

This report of a volunteer task force on home care in western Massachusetts delineates service, fi- nancing, and education problems in the home care area and recommends a course of action for the Western Massachusetts Health Planning Council (WMHPC). Study methodology is not detailed. It is concluded that there are not enough providers of home care services in western Massachusetts. A 1971 survey indicated that only 37 percent of the 31,000 patients in Massachusetts nursing homes actually required skilled nursing care. It was also found that approximately 20 percent of western Massachusetts is entirely without home care serv- ice. Neither are social service or mental health back-up services readily available. Lack of Federal money available for providing home care services is noted, as is the difficulty involved for many per- sons in obtaining such services. As the most common way to obtain home care is through refer- ral from a hospital or nursing home, institutionalization has, in essence, become a pre- requisite to home care. Education of the public, of health care professionals, and of homemaker / home health aides in the concept of continuing care is emphasized. Recommendations are made to the WMHPC which would facilitate communica- tion and cooperation between home care agencies through advisory groups for each of the three areas. An evaluation program also is suggested. A brief bibliography is included. 20 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT HRP-0004292/9 PC A03/MF A01 New Mexico Regional Medical Program, Albuquer- que.

The emergency health services (EHS) project of the New Mexico Regional Medical Program is de- scribed. In an effort to upgrade the skills and avail- ability of the State's emergency medical service manpower, the EHS project conducts various training programs on lifesaving techniques for emergency medical technicians (ambulance). Be- tween August 1970 and January 1974, twenty-six 40-hour courses and three 81 -hour courses were conducted. During this period, 743 people were graduated. In addition to basic training, 82 of the graduates received 20 hours of refresher training. A computer file containing biographical information as well as course records for each graduate was completed. Information regarding occupation and the whereabouts of each graduate was obtained from several sources. For 471 of the graduates, data were obtained from each person after gradua- tion through questionnaire, phone survey, or course application forms. It was found that 81 per- cent of graduates of the EHS training program were using their training to provide emergency medical care to residents in New Mexico, 524 through paid jobs in the field and an additional 80 by volunteering their time. Fifty percent of the grad- uates worked in areas with less than 10,000 popu- lation. It was determined that the critical time period after which knowledge begins to deteriorate after courses is approximately one year, indicating that the average technician needs refresher train- ing once per year.

The development of accessible and effective mental health services for rural communities is ad- dressed, and one approach that has met with suc- cess in an isolated community in California is de- scribed. Problems in the development of accessi- ble rural mental health services are considered to include community perception of need, availability of funds from State and Federal resources, special needs of rural communities, and feasibility of ex- ploiting traditionally urban-centered health and social services for rural areas. An experimental program is reported that was undertaken in 1970 to provide locally accessible counseling services to community residents in southern Monterey, Cali- fornia. Acute situational crises, long term adjust- ment difficulties, psychosomatic complaints, and childhood and adolescent adjustment problems were envisioned as the principal areas of unmet need. A private medical group practice serving a large rural area introduced psychiatric social work- ers in an integrated clinic to provide accessible mental health services in the community. Public acceptance of services confirmed the demand for such services. The rapidity with which other com- munity mental health needs were subsequently recognized in the area, along with the institution of services and mobilization of funds and manpower to develop new community programs, supported the rising awareness of health care needs in the traditionally conservative rural area. The accept- ance of psychiatric social workers as members of the health care team suggests the desirability of a group practice clinic for the introduction of nonphy- sician mental health professionals.

The role of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) in rural health education and institutional de- velopment is examined. Factors involved in the disadvantageous health status of rural residents include a widely dispersed population, lower income levels, less available medical facilities, fewer services and trained manpower, and less ex- tensive coverage by health insurance. Maximum improvement in the health status of rural residents will require changes in both the environment and personal behavior. National efforts to affect changes in the rural health care delivery system are noted. Steps required in the process of rural institutional development and change are outlined, and aspects of the national health legislation proc- ess are considered as regards rural conditions and needs. CES, established in 1914, is designed to help rural residents improve their homes and com- munities. The key to the success of CES has been its unique structure as a partnership of Federal, State, and county governments, with strong guid- ance in its priorities from those it serves. CES edu- cators support health professionals by providing leadership to State and local CES personnel in several areas of health education. These include occupational health and safety; nutritional require- ments; preventive health; screening for cancer, hy- pertension, and diabetes; drug abuse and venereal disease; community health services and facilities; and the safe use of pesticides. CES has assisted in creating and establishing new rural institutional structures to address the needs of rural residents. The service has the potential to provide both direct and indirect rural input into the process of health program development at the State and national levels.

Highlights of a review of the activities of the World Health Organization's (WHO) health education unit since its establishment in 1949 are summarized. The review was presented in its entirety to the WHO Executive Board at its 53rd session in Janu- ary 1974 and was subsequently submitted to the 27th World Health Assembly. This summary covers the principal activities discussed by the review and relevant discussions which took place at the Executive Board and Health Assembly ses- sions. Programs described include: family health (including nutrition and family planning); health education for school-age children and young people; environmental health; communicable and noncommunicable diseases; and health manpow- er development. WHO support of studies and re- search in health education is described and prior- ities for development of health education services are identified. These priorities include: (1) the strengthing of existing health education services in the areas of manpower, facilities, funding, and ad- ministrative support; (2) encouragement of a multi- disciplinary approach to health education; (3) con- sideration of the capacities of individual countries to carry out health education tasks; (4) the cooper- ation of the WHO professional health education staff in the development of national health pro- grams requiring personal, family, and community involvement; (5) appropriate inclusion of health education in the administrative hierarchy; (6) de- velopment of cadres of qualified health education specialists within each country; and (7) more sys- tematic evaluation of health education programs.

Keywords: "Sociology, "Long term care, United States, Research, Patients, Inpatients, Health care, Health care services. A theoretical framework is presented for empirical- ly testing the claim that family participation in the provision of care to the elderly is decreasing. Six assumptions are implicit in the theoretical frame- work's development: (1) the structure of the family in the United States is that of the family of procrea- tion; (2) role conflict develops in the family of pro- creation as its members attempt to assimilate de- pendent, aged relations; (3) conflict reduction is necessary for the proper functioning of the family unit; (4) attempts at conflict reduction are made in accordance with societal values; (5) the sick role offers a legitimate means of removing the aged from the family and it gives the elderly a meaning- ful social role to play; and (6) removal of the aged from the family to reduce role conflict is legitimized by placement in a health setting, notably a nursing home. The use of and needs for nursing homes are addressed. It is concluded that changes in the structure and function of the American family have created a need for alternative means of caring for the elderly who cannot be accommodated in the nuclear family. The sick role and the nursing home provide a socially acceptable means of caring for the elderly while removing them from the family setting. Using data from national morbidity sur- veys, demonstrates that a large proportion of the elderly already in nursing homes do not need this type of long term health care. It is felt that this places a strain upon the total health care system. HRP-0010993/4 Not available NTIS National Inst, of Mental Health, Rockville, Md. Div. of Mental Health Service Programs.

Keywords: "Mental health care, "Kentucky, Meth- odology, Health care services, Health care delivery organizations, Funds, Financing, Acquisition. The Kentucky experience in funding community mental health centers is examined. The funding potential of third-party payments, social service and rehabilitation programs, and other sources of public and private funding is explored. It is conclud- ed that multiple sources of funding community mental health centers are becoming more impor- tant as Federal pressures have grown to eliminate categorical assistance programs. The multisource funding process developed by Kentucky's commu- nity mental health centers is suggested as a proto- type. Replicable and adaptable features of the Kentucky system include: an agressive leadership that can tie together the community, the legislative process, and the program; a continuously growing base of knowledge about political, legislative, and professional developments on the State, local, re- gional, and national level; a continuous analysis of this knowledge base; an administrative and man- agement structure and information system; an overall plan for the delivery of services; and the promotion of linkages and integration with other human services. In essence, the strategy for de- veloping multisource funding lies in agressive pur- suit of funds through collaborative action and the development of programs reflecting common con- cerns. 21 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT HRP-0011041/1 Not available NTIS Boston Coll., Chestnut, Mass.

An experiment investigating the relationship be- tween organization structure and organizational ef- fectiveness in a large, urban health department is described. An interrupted time series experimental design was used to evaluate the relationship be- tween the degree of decentralization and the level of productivity for 13 of 22 health districts and 6 of 1 1 health programs operated by the health depart- ment. Preliminary findings on the effects of two ad- ministrative changes are presented. These changes include: (1) the issuing of executive orders giving peripheral components of the organi- zation more control over their own operations; and (2) the introduction of nonphysician health manag- ers into each district to implement the decentral- ization orders. Initial study findings suggest that decentralization alone, under appropriate para- metric conditions, is not enough to ensure im- provements in productivity levels. The findings also demonstrate that such administrative experi- mentation, as a research and problem-solving methodology, serves to weld the research and the administrator into an effective team. The study set out to test three hypotheses: (1) the greater the decentralization of the bureaucracy, the greater its effectiveness; (2) the greater the decentralization of the structure of the bureaucracy, the more uni- formly effective its services to its environment; and (3) the more the structure of the bureaucracy ap- proaches a line-staff configuration and grows away from a program - specific configuration, the more effective it will be. It is suggested that, before final conclusions are drawn about the validity of these hypotheses, productivity and quality indicators must be used in combination to measure organiza- tional effectiveness, and careful parametric analy- ses must be carried out to uncover any confound- ing influences affecting the dependent variable. A description of the context within which the study was conducted and details of the analytic ap- proach employed are included.

The experience of the Hemophilia Health Educa- tion Planning Project (HHEPP) in using simulation techniques for educating hemophiliacs is reported. The simulation or gaming project extended from September 1974 to June 1975. The project was designed for hemophilia but was also intended to have broader implications for the work of the Na- tional Heart and Lung Institute. Two objectives of the project was identified: (1) create a set of useful tools for hemophilia planning and education; and (2) develop a planning model for other diseases with similar characteristics. A process overview of the simulation project is presented. Recommenda- tions are made with regard to the improvement of hemophiliac education. These recommendations concern the establishment of a national hemophil- ia coordinating body, the design and implementa- tion of a system of comprehensive care centers for hemophiliacs, the collection of data on hemophilia, the evaluation of care systems, hemophiliac edu- cation, research, the feasibility of establishing a federally funded fractionation center, and model building for standards of care delivery.

The effectiveness of the Valley Transit District (VTD) in improving or increasing the accessibility of health services to residents of the Lower Nau- gatuck Valley in Connecticut is assessed. Particu- lar attention is given to the effectiveness of the VTD in meeting the transportation needs of the el- derly and disabled population. The VTD, a federal- ly funded transportation project designed to im- prove the mobility of disabled and disadvantaged persons in the Lower Naugatuck Valley, has been in operation since 1972 and has six buses equipped with features to make entry and exit easy for the elderly and disabled. The sample for the study consisted of all persons who registered with the VTD. Parallel questionnaire surveys of VTD users and nonusers were employed to measure utilization, perceived need, and satisfaction. The mean age of users was 56.3 years, while the mean age of nonusers was 59.5 years. Both groups were characterized by limited access to an automobile and a low proportion of licensed drivers. Users tended to be somewhat better off financially than nonusers. On the other hand, users tended to be less independently mobile than nonusers. Al- though a majority in both user and nonuser groups reported no disabilities, the percentage which did report the presence of a medical disability was substantial. It was found that both users and non- users, despite some confusion about the VTD bill- ing system, were generally well-informed about the VTD and its special services. The most important reason for using the VTD was the absence of any reasonable alternatives for transportation. The survey questionnaire and additional information on the study are appended.

Goals and objectives for public health education in Michigan are stated and preliminary recommenda- tions are set forth by the State Health Planning Ad- visory Council Task Force on Health Education of the Public. The goals reflect conditions to be at- tained through the provision of health education and include the creation of a Michigan constiuency that has the knowledge, skills, and desire to engage in positive health and disease prevention practices, to recognize and act promptly on symp- toms, to use available services effectively, and to comply with medical recommendations; the en- couragement of public participation to decisions affecting health, health services, and the environ- ment; the institution of a comprehensive plan that provides for health education services as an inte- gral part of health care delivery; and the provision of health education by skilled and competent per- sons. Recommendations concern the expansion and development of policymaking mechanisms; the establishment of a health education council center by the Health Systems Agency; the devel- opment of guidelines to assist health care institu- tions in providing health education for patients and their families; the development of curriculums de- signed to train health personnel in health educa- tion; the enactment of legislation to require local school districts to implement comprehensive health education programs; the removal of restric- tions on the instruction of birth control in public schools; and the coordination of activities among State agencies and private groups.

A manual is provided to assist health systems agency (HSA) staff in DHEW Region IV to use pro- fessional consultants more effectively. Some basic obstacles which have prevented effective use of consultants are misunderstandings concerning re- sponsibilities, assumptions that the consultant can work in isolation unsupported by agency staff, and overextended consultations in which there is seemingly no useful end product. The benefits of using a consultant are usually both cost-specific and pragmatic. A consultant will probably seek to do one of three basic activities: (1) provide fairly routine technology assistance and transfer; (2) provide innovative methodologies or innovations; or (3) create new methods to solve problems. Eleven guiding principles applicable to the use of consultants in health planning are formulated. Practical suggestions are offered concerning con- sultant reimbursement, curriculum vitas, problem solving, consultation guidance, consultant selec- tion, prearrival planning, options for using the con- sultant, entry, the first day, the agency, the follow- ing days, reviews of ongoing work, the last day, return visits, products, and community perceived outcomes.

Background information is provided on the energy situation in the United States, and govern- mental responses to the energy crisis are outlined. The importance of the hospital's role in conserva- tion of energy is stressed because health care in- stitutions are such heavy users of energy. It is sug- gested that an effective conservation program in the nation's hospitals could make a major contribu- tion to extending fossil fuel supplies while new energy sources are being developed. Elements of an effective conservation program are detailed, with special emphasis on energy conservation in existing institutions.

Health services in Newark, New Jersey, are evalu- ated, and a proposal for restructuring health care delivery is offered. The potential effectiveness of the Newark Comprehensive Health Services Plan (NCHSP) is assessed. Historical trends in the de- livery of health care are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role of the Newark City Dispen- sary. Specific consideration is given in the NCHSP to the provision of maternal and infant care and dental health and to the problems of lead poison- ing and venereal disease. Barriers to the effective delivery of health care are noted, including political forces and the absence of a mandatory retirement age in Newark. The development of the NCHPS is detailed. The plan is designed to encompass Med- icaid enrollees and the medically indigent. A major expansion of the program is anticipated to include Newark's nonpoor among those eligible for health maintenance organization coverage. Problems as- sociated with the provision of general assistance to those persons qualifying for welfare but having no dependent children so that they are not eligible for the aid to families with dependent children pro- gram are explored. Changes in the administration of the NCHSP are noted, and the minimum bene- fits package of the plan is detailed. Economic as- pects of the plan's implementation are discussed.

Prepaid group practice as a concept for providing health care is now over 25 years old in the nation and in New York City. It has overcome initial oppo- sition by the medical profession and has been adopted by government as a health strategy under the acronym HMO or 'Health Maintenance Organi- zation.' It is asserted that on two major criteria for evaluating the health care system - accessibility to the health care system and cost of treatment - prepaid group practice compares most favorably with other types of insurance plans. There are presently estimated to be 170 operational HMOs throughout the country providing service to some eight million enrollees. An additional 262 HMOs are in various stages of planning and development, although only 66 of these have the assistance of government funds for feasibility and planning sur- veys under the Federal HMO Act of 1973. The HMO is substantially an urban phenomenon requir- ing large concentrations of population and large initial sums of money. The HMO Act of 1973 was a Federal Law designed to promote and encourage the growth of prepaid group practice plans. Before and after the Act passed Congress, criticism began to develop and major problems began to emerge. Definitive and timely Congressional action to amend the Law in order to ensure its success are advocated. (Author/ERIC).

Nationally, one out of every ten Americans is over 65 years old, but in rural areas the proportion is often one in five. The problems facing the rural aging, including low income, unemployment, poor housing, and limited health services, are described in this report to the U.S. House of Representatives by the Committee on Government Operations. Ap- proximately 33 percent of the rural aging live in poverty. Lifetime earnings have been lower; con- sequently, their savings or retirement benefits, if any, are much below that of urban dwellers. Feder- al manpower programs have neglected the em- ployable among the rural aging. Almost one-third of the men, and 70 prcent of the women receive less than $2,000 annually. Green Thumb and Green Light are the only Federal programs open to them; workers may earn only $1,600 per year in these programs. Many rural aging homeowners pay 50 percent of their incomes for property taxes. Little Federal housing money is spent in rural areas. The rural poor cannot afford to make neces- sary repairs to their homes, and it is a trauma if they must leave their lifelong homes. The rural el- derly are isolated, and without transportation. They suffer from the same health problems as the urban poor but there are no doctors or medical services in many of the areas.

Conflict concerning whether the General Account- ing Office and public accounting firms should un- dertake the evaluation of the effectiveness of social programs is clarified. The argument against such involvement is founded in the contention that the kinds of data traditionally provided by account- ants - costs of providing programs, market prices of results, tests of compliance, cost-benefit, cost- efficiency, cost-effectiveness -- are not relevant to the reasons behind the failure of social programs. Instead, most social programs fail for lack of knowledge related to social phenomena (e.g., the real needs of people, the reasons for problems). Unfamiliarity of accountants with social disciplines and the inappropriateness of the ways of thought traditional to accountancy are also cited. It is point- ed out that the critics of accountant involvement in evaluating the effectiveness of social programs are concerned primarily with the measurement and comparison of program results with operational objectives. However, proponents of accountant in- volvement usually express themselves in terms of other elements: comparison of fiduciaries' actions with their legal or equitable obligations; and mea- surement and comparison of program costs with budgets or other standards. In addition, critics on both sides often use 'effectiveness' to mean differ- ent things. It is pointed out that accountants can legitimately make a wide range of contributions to social programs, but should match their services to their qualifications.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of an experi- mental program of primary pediatric care for low- income inner-city families is reported. The evalua- tion is based on a comparison of 1 73 families who were provided pediatric care through an experi- mental program and 189 control families who con- tinued to seek care elsewhere. The evaluation cov- ered a 3-year period, and data were gathered from mothers during preexperimental and postexperi- mental interviews as well as during semiannual in- terviews throughout the course of the evaluation. In effect, the evaluation compares the effective- ness of comprehensive, family-focused pediatric care in a group practice environment with that of pediatric care provided by hospitals and public clinics. The study findings suggest that the effects of primary care, as compared to those of episodic care received by control families, were apprecia- ble. These effects included decreases in hospital- izations, operations, illness visits, and appointment breaking, and increases in health supervision visits, preventive services, and patient satisfaction in the experimental group. These effects were achieved at lower costs than those involved in other modes of delivery. Patient morbidity was not altered by the experimental program. Medicaid made no difference in the care patterns of the ex- perimental families and apparently benefited only those control families who were white. It is con- cluded that the controlled clinical trial offers the 23 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT best opportunity for comparing different models of primary care. Supporting data are included.

The status of elderly residents over the age of 75 years in Chicago, Illinois, is assessed. Five elderly subgroups were studied: (1) home owners and other persons of average or high income; (2) mem- bers of relatively recent immigrant groups; (3) single people living along, primarily widows and widowers; (4) low-income people who are aided by the State with subsidized housing and supplemen- tary income payments; and (5) those who live in institutions. As of 1970, elderly residents constitut- ed more than 15 percent of Chicago's population but lived in only 10 of 76 community areas. The survey instrument contained 93 questions cover- ing housing and living arrangements, transporta- tion, life satisfaction, health and physical capacity, social support system, knowledge and use of serv- ices, opinions about retirement and about the status of the elderly, income and expenditures, and volunteer activities. Sample groups selected for study were characterized by sex, age, race, na- tivity, education, religion, marital status, and occu- pation and employment. Significant differences oc- curred among all sample groups in every area of investigation. All groups tended to fall in approxi- mately the same rank order on varying aspects of their adjustment to life in a big city. Equally as pro- nounced as group or sample differences were vari- ations between men and women or the difference in living arrangements. The most pervasive prob- lem of Chicago's elderly was fear of crime. Implica- tions of the study results for meeting the needs of elderly citizens are discussed. A bibliography is provided.

Projects, Prepaid health care, Personal pay- ment, Individual payment, Health resources, Health insurance, Health care services, Health care delivery, Financing. The home care service system in the southeastern region of Wisconsin is described. A home care project was initiated in October 1974 by the Com- prehensive Health Planning Agency of Southeast- ern Wisconsin to survey available home care pro- grams and develop service profiles for each of seven counties in the region. The project was ex- panded in 1975 to study the viability of home care services as an alternative to institutional care. It was determined that home care or a home care program should encompass an array of appropri- ate services delivered by qualified personnel to in- dividuals who need home care services due to acute illness, chronic illness, or disability. A home care service system model is described and illus- trated. The role of health insurance in home care financing is examined, and characteristics and types of health insurance are detailed. Considera- tion is given to home care coverage by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers. A classification system for home care providers is presented and applied to major home care organizations in the southeastern region of Wisconsin. Major home care providers in the region and home care serv- ices in the region's seven counties are identified. Appendixes contain the survey forms used in data collection and data on chronic activity limitations of southeastern Wisconsin residents.

Examples of community services designed to alle- viate isolation among elderly people are present- ed, together with lists of publications and sources of further information on each type of service. The following services are covered: transportation (special buses or vans, senior center bus services, private cars, reduced fare programs, programs to remove physical barriers in public transportation); senior centers; nutrition programs (group meals, meals on wheels); telephone reassurance; friendly visiting; in-home services (homemakers, home health aides); opportunities to serve (senior citizen employment or volunteer programs); outreach services; and information and referral services. In- formation relevant to the establishment and oper- ation of each type of service is provided, and ex- amples of programs are drawn from a variety of communities. The booklet emphasizes that elderly people are not all isolated for the same reasons and do not all need the same service. Separate services for the elderly need to be expanded and interrelated in a comprehensive approach to the problem of isolation.

Correlation analysis is used to assess the relation- ship, by census tract, between senior citizens in Toledo, Ohio and selected variables. Five inde- pendent variables are considered: distance to the central business district; decade of housing devel- opment; median value of housing; percentage of structures with five or more dwelling units (multiple family units); and percentage of the city's total nonelderly. Data from four census periods - 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970 -- are examined to identify evolving temporal trends in the residential location patterns of the elderly. Strong evidence is found that the location patterns of the elderly differ sig- nificantly from those of the younger population. As- sociations between the location of the elderly and distance to the central business district, age of the neighborhood, value of housing, and percentage of multiple family dwelling units are statistically sig- nificant, but weak. At no time between 1940 and 1 970 is more than 40 percent of the variation in the distribution of the aged explained by these varia- bles. The need for more research into the residen- tial patterns of the elderly is noted, as is the need for an urbanwide data bank reporting detailed age- specific data and socioeconomic indicators for the elderly.

The cost-effectiveness of public dental programs in the United States is analyzed. Cost-benefit esti- mates are based on data from longitudinal studies of public dental care programs in Richmond, Indi- ana, and Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Public dental care programs for children usually begin at the age of 5 years and continue until the age of 15. The major objective of such programs is to maintain the integrity of natural teeth. For the Richmond and Woonsocket studies, dental treatment was admin- istered in a series of treatment stages. In each city, the status of 15-year-olds with respect to tooth loss was determined at the start of and at regular intervals during the dental care treatment program. The status of the subjects showed continuous im- provement as the dental care treatment program progressed. A greater number of teeth were saved within a shorter time period as maintenance care continued. By the end of the fourth treatment stage, after 70 months of program operation in the Richmond area, the missing tooth count was 34 percent of its original level. After 81 months months in the city of Woonsocket, the missing tooth count was reduced to 27 percent of its origi- nal level. Information on the effect of dental care campaigns in the two cities indicated that the cost to save a permanent tooth varied according to the age of coverage, extent to which the composition of the group remained unchanged, and the number of years continuous care was provided. Tabular data are provided on the costs and benefits of dental care treatment programs in both cities. It is concluded that public dental care programs must be administered over a relatively long time period before net benefits accrue on an annual basis.

An experimental attempt to improve the self-image of black elderly residents of an urban ghetto by of- fering them the opportunity to be service providers rather than service recipients is described. The project population consisted of 200 social service center clients who lived in high rise public housing or in deteriorating buildings nearby. Their environ- ment is described as 'grim and perilous.' The center offered these people the opportunity to vol- unteer to assist their neighbors by performing such tasks as telephoning, reading aloud, visiting the lonely, doing light housekeeping chores, and offer- ing support to the ill, to persons who had lost a family member through death, and to others who had undergone some personal crisis. The volun- teers who were recruited did their jobs successful- ly. However, environmental perils, limited profes- sional support, and certain characteristics of the volunteers themselves (e.g., the tendency to prefer group activities over one-to-one contacts) limited the success of the project's 'good-neigh- boring' approach. As a result, an alternate program of volunteering for group activities emerged. The implications of the project's experience are dis- cussed. The need for further testing of the hypoth- esis that the self-image of the black elderly can be enhanced through voluntary service to others is pointed out.

Long-term funding problems and other difficulties encountered by nonprofit sponsors of congregate housing projects for the elderly are discussed, and examples of successful projects that provide the elderly with the appropriate mix of assistance and independence are described. It is pointed out that, after enactment of Section 202 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 24 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT moved slowly in developing regulations. When reg- ulations were proposed, they provided for applica- tion of Section 202 loans to nonprofit sponsors of housing projects for the elderly and the handi- capped for construction but not for operation. The controversy that arose is reviewed, as are the bu- reaucratic complexities confronting nonprofit sponsors seeking government funding. Among other problems are the long waiting periods for ac- ceptance into housing projects for the elderly and the failure in some instances to view housing for the elderly as more than simple shelter. Among ex- amples of successful projects is Sawyer Towers, a high-rise public housing development for the elder- ly in a decaying neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The residents of Sawyer Towers operate a small grocery store in one of the apartments, freeing residents of the need to make frequent, some- times perilous trips to the supermarket. At West- moreland Union Manor in Portland, Oregon, resi- dents take part in a monitor system, checking up on each other as necessary. The design of a third project, in Fall River, Massachusetts, resulted in greater mobility for and interaction among elderly or incapacitated residents.

Methodology for evaluating diversion programs for public inebriates is detailed in a manual developed as a model for alcohol diversion evaluation. Em- phasis is placed on describing procedures for cost and other benefit comparisons of a criminal justice system and a diversion option; on aiding the user in the identification of the public inebriate popula- tion; and on helping the user to examine the ques- tion of management efficiency in detoxification op- erations. The methodology is based on observa- tions of the Alcohol Detoxification and Rehabilita- tion Center, a pilot diversion program contracted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and of the three agencies interacting with public inebriates in the criminal justice system of Los An- geles, California. The manual documents the fol- lowing facets of an evaluation: planning the study (organizing the study and finalizing the work plan); documenting the systems for comparison (the functional analysis and supportive statistical pro- files); cost accounting and cost-benefit analysis (constructing a cost accounting organization plan, determining cost-volume relationships, construct- ing flexible budgets, applying cost allocation crite- ria, and completing the cost-benefit analysis); and analyzing noncost program elements.

Major issues of concern to the National Council of Senior Citizens are reviewed. As of 1976, there were approximately 22.4 million men and women over the age of 65 in the United States, 15.2 per- cent of the voting age population. The National Council of Senior Citizens has been working to im- prove services for the elderly, including health care, transportation, income, and nutrition. One significant aspect in the economic security of the elderly is the continued ability to work. It is felt that mandatory retirement rules constitute a form of discrimination and changes are recommended in the benefit structure of Social Security since bene- fits from this program are the primary source of income for elderly people. It is pointed out that the elderly have 50 percent more physician visits than the rest of the population and spend an average of $1,218 per year on personal health care expendi- tures. This figure compares with $420 spent by persons between the ages of 1 9 and 64. The inad- equacies of Medicare are examined, and recom- mendations are made for improving the financing of health care for elderly citizens. The problems associated with housing, long-term care, and transportation for the elderly are addressed. Con- sideration is given to the costs of energy and to nutrition, community, and social services for the el- derly.

The strategy employed by the State of California to encourage local programs for long-term patients discharged from State mental hospitals is re- viewed. The strategy involved a system of financial incentives and penalties. Legislation was passed that established one appropriation for mental health which included both State hospitals and local (county) programs. The ratio of State-to- county fundings was set at 90-10. However, includ- ed in the amount allocated to each county was a charge to each county for all patients from that county in State hospitals. This charge was set at the estimated number of patient days (based on utilization data of the past fiscal year) times the average daily cost per patient day. Thus the law provided a financial motivation for counties to de- crease their State hospital populations. Such de- creases did come about, and the counties were then allowed to fund new local programs with the money saved by reducing the number of inpa- tients. In addition, the State set quotas for the number of State hospital patient days that each county could use without being penalized. In the process of carrying out this strategy, many pa- tients, families, and communities suffered inconve- niences and substandard care. The end result, however, has been that programs have emerged to prevent persons from becoming State hospital patients and to serve former State hospital pa- tients in their communities. These programs in- clude precare residential facilities, satellite hous- ing, aftercare, social therapy, vocational rehabilita- tion, and consultation to residential care homes.

A study focusing on the effectiveness of a mobile coronary care unit (MCCU) serving a primarily se- mirural area of Pennsylvania was carried over an 8-month period. During that time the unit served 225 suspected cardiac patients. The MCCU was dispatched if the caller described such symptoms as difficulty in breathing, clamminess, or chest, arm, and/or jaw pain. The unit could also be sent at the request of physicians or if the patient had a history of heart disease. Specially trained coronary care nurses, on call from the coronary care unit of a hospital, were used to staff the MCCU. In the 8- month period, 29 persons died either before reach- ing the hospital or in the emergency room, 105 were placed in the intensive / coronary care unit, and 42 were discharged home.

A survey of the perceptions of regional directors of the Federal Administration on Aging and of other administrators concerning the systematic coordi- nation and delivery of services for the aging is do- cumented. Eight regional directors and 32 other administrators suggested by the directors were asked to rank the descriptors of a social systems model for coordinating services to the elderly. The directors and administrators also responded to a questionnaire concerning their perceptions about existing and ideal practices in coordinating and de- livering services for the aging. The findings support the premise that the coordination and delivery of services for the aging should be controlled by local, rather than Federal governmental agencies. The findings also suggest that Federal, State, and local agencies and the private sector should pro- vide assistance in developing systems for coordi- nating and delivering services for the aging; that comprehensive planning and evaluation, inter- agency and intra-agency coordination, resource commitment, public communication, and legisla- tive authority should be used to eliminate ineffec- tive methods of reaching the aging; and that city, county, State, and national communities, but not regional or neighborhood communities, are viable participants in the development of pathways for coordinating and delivering services for the aging.

The effectiveness of supervised nonprofessional indigenous health aides in providing health care supervision and coordination to indigent families was assessed and compared with the effective- ness of professional public health nurses (PHN's). The study involved Mexican - American and black women who were recruited from the community served by the Los Angeles County, University of South California Pediatric Outpatient Department and trained over a 12-month period in a program which emphasized methods of problem identifica- tion and approaches for resolution of these prob- lems for all family members. The 108 participating families - all of whom had a chronically ill child, at least 2 children in the family, multiple medical and/ or social problems, and inability to cope with the problems - were randomly assigned among 2 white PHN's, three Mexican - American aides, and three black aids. The study emphasized the princi- ple of 'patient pursuit,' i.e., followup of problems, providing transportation, making appointments, etc. It was found that the aides were able to collect and record data and perform technical screening procedures as well as the professionals. The aides could not, however, identify problems as effective- ly as the nurses, particularly in the area of recogni j tion of visual and auditory defects in children. The aides and professionals did not differ significantly in pediatric problemsolving ability, but nurses proved more successful in helping adults. Both groups were successful in improving the compli- ance rate. Neither group appeared to have an effect on the environment or habits of disadvan- taged families, on decreasing the unscheduled epi- sodic emergency room visits for chonically ill chil- dren, or improving the attendance rate at the spe- cialty disease clinic. Details of the training pro- gram, study methods, and supporting data are in- cluded. HRP-0016863/3 Not Available NTIS Consumerism, Federal Grants and You.

Major issues associated with the provision of health care to elderly citizens are addressed. In providing care to the elderly, health workers must deal with such problems as population changes, changing patterns of disease, unreported needs, psychosocial aspects of aging, altered pathophy- siology, and restrictive views of health care. A trend is noted toward increased urbanization in ad- vanced societies, and this trend is considered to be particularly significant for the elderly. Although the outlook for infectious and life - threatening dis- ease has been improved, the importance of chron- ic and degenerative illnesses has increased. A large number of needs are not reported by the el- derly. The attitudes of health workers and society in general toward elderly citizens are discussed. The role of psychosocial factors in increased de- pendency, lowered self-respect, and a reduced sense of meaningful identity is explored. The two most important elements of health team function- ing are identified as adequate education and com- munication skills. It is felt that these elements are lacking. The structure of an effective health care delivery system for the elderly is addressed. More emphasis is recommended on geriatric education as an important and expanding field of special medical practice.

The findings and methodology of a 21 -State market feasibility analysis are reported with sug- gestions for ways of confronting the housing crisis of the elderly population. The demand for semi-de- pendent housing for the elderly was assessed in a study of 118 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's). The study investigated the market for a 320-bed apartment complex featuring an on-site 40-bed nursing home, a mandatory meals program, maid service, and a variety of on- site recreational amenities. Projected rents ranged from $300 per month for an efficiency to $450 per month for a one-bedroom unit. In identifying the eli- gible population, four major factors were consid- ered: population age range, health and nutritional service needs indicators, migration trends, and income eligibility (predetermined at $5,000 per year minimum). Competition from other types of housing was assessed. A formula was devised to relate these variables, and it was determined that a minimum of 4,000 eligible persons in excess of available retirement units would be needed to justi- fy the provision of a 320-unit facility; only 33 SMSA's out of the initial 118 met this criterion. Im- plications for a Federal housing policy for the aged are discussed, and it is noted that semi-dependent housing has been virtually ignored by Federal housing and medical subsidy programs.

Members of the first tenant group to move into a San Antonio, Tex., apartment complex designed for the elderly were interviewed at the end of the facility's first year of operation and again 7 years later to determine their satisfaction with their hous- ing. The building has special features which are in- tended to make the units convenient for the elderly tenants (e.g., refrigerators set on 14-inch plat- forms). It was found that in the long run as well as the short, the original inmovers were well satisfied. When asked about ways in which the housing was better than expected, by far the major considera- 26 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT tion at both questioning points was modern conve- niences. Suggestions about ways in which future facilities could be improved included phones in the bedrooms and more closet space. At the end of the eighth year, the provision of a place to buy meals had become the foremost concern, and a phone in the bedroom was more important than it had been previously. Some features designed to assist the elderly with housekeeping chores (such as the raised refrigerators) proved to be unusually inconvenient. The results support increasing de- mands that elderly persons be included early and persistently in planning, design, and implementa- tion of facilities for the elderly. Other areas ad- dressed by the study include evaluations by mem- bers of the originally qualified applicant pool who did not move in, features the tenants perceived as worse than expected, and reactions to the build- ings' location and to other residents.

Highlights of a 1 975 study of the administration of health services in Great Britain, the Netherlands, and West Germany are discussed, and the results are compared with the functioning of health serv- ices in the United States. Hospital reimbursement, utilization, and quality control were studied. It was found that the situation in other countries was simi- lar to the United States in that health care costs are rising faster than the general cost of living. Charts present comparisons of staffing ratios of hospitals, distribution of hospital personnel, differ- ences in community hospitals, volume of diagnos- tic and laboratory procedures per patient, and di- agnostic procedures for acute myocardial infarc- tion in community hospitals. A wide range of differ- ences is evident and all of these countries are turn- ing to more structure and more control of supply; health services organizations are becoming a polit- ical, rather than a market, decision. At this time, the United States is also increasing the application of structuring, but it is suggested that the limits of saturation or sparsity have not been tested. Moni- toring the decisionmaking process of physicians through professional standards review organiza- tions is one example of increased structure. It is suggested that the United States can lead the way with a new approach to managing national health insurance by promoting competition among ap- proved delivery systems with the offering of vari- able benefit packages that would give the consum- er a preference option.

Alternative forms of care for the elderly in the west- ern area of Wisconsin were studied. A senior citi- zen questionnaire was designed to determine the attitudes and perceived problems of the elderly in obtaining adequate housing and health care. A total of 760 elderly individuals were surveyed. Nursing home utilization was evaluated, and it was found that the most significant factors affecting uti- lization rates were changes in finance mecha- nisms, attitude of the public toward nursing home care, and the availability of alternative care ar- rangements. The objectives of the alternative care project were to find ways of using health and allied health personnel in an efficient manner consistent with health care quality, to seek methods for re- ducing health care costs while maintaining quality care, to encourage the use of health care technol- ogy at all levels, and to support collaborating agen- cies in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery. The project focused on six forms of alternative care: public housing programs, foster and group home programs, homemaker pro- grams, home health care programs, day-care pro- grams, and residential care programs. It was deter- mined that alternate forms of care can provide needed options to the elderly who are not self-suf- ficient, although a full range of alternate care pro- grams in the western Wisconsin area is not availa- ble. The establishment of an education program is recommended in order to integrate alternate care into the health care system. Survey forms for the alternate care project are appended.

The effectiveness is assessted of a program which was initiated in 1972 to focus on low-income households. Its objective was to evaluate a dem- onstration model for achieving educational change in consumers in terms of health knowledge and practices and the use of the health care system. The program involved the eight-parish area of Baton Rouge. Educational efforts for adults em- phasized the creation of an awareness and under- standing of basic health care concepts, especially with regard to common health and safety prob- lems. Teaching outlines and illustrative materials were developed for a variety of medical conditions. A sample of a teaching unit on fever is included. To evaluate the educational effectiveness of the pro- gram, data were collected after the program have been operational for a year. The program was ter- minated in January 1974. The youth phase of the program was conducted in 1 972 to study the level of knowledge and the extent of the adoption of dental hygiene practices among selected 4-H youth. A dental hygiene demonstration covering such concepts as plaque, peridontal disease, brushing, flossing, fluoride, and diet was conduct- ed with 258 youth participants. An outline of the demonstration is provided. It is concluded that the consumer health education program was benefi- cial to participating homemakers and homemaker families in the Baton Rouge area. Program partici- pants had an increased awareness of the impor- tance of preventive health care, gained better knowledge of specific diseases and developed confidence in the value of the program.

Recognizing that any attempt to cor- rect nutrition problems without considering and working to improve the total maternal and infant environment is wasted effort, the task force had to make several correlations of environmental and social factors linking income, living conditions, infant mortality, and nutrition, among others. First and most basic of the recommendations is that health professionals need to follow up on particu- lar cases in which they are involved. Further rec- ommendations are discussed in the area of nutri- tion personnel within the Department of Human Resources throughout the State and also in terms of nutritional standards for foods procured with State and Federal funds and foods served in day care centers and kindergartens. Infant feeding practices, including breastfeeding and formula preparation, are emphasized as factors in proper infant health care. It is also recommended that more emphasis be placed on screening and devel- opment of nutrition education materials and that a directory of nutritional services be prepared and distributed to appropriate agencies and health pro- fessionals. Volunteers should be used in providing support for outreach, referral service, or advocacy in promoting better nutrition. Finally it is deter- mined that a surveillance of a pilot area be under- taken to define special problem areas and needs. HRP-0018731/0 Not Available NTIS American Hospital Association, Chicago, III.

Strategies were developed to maximize the re- sources of local government to improve primary health care services, either by increasing access to primary care services or by positively influencing local health care policy. The strategy feasibility study assessed appropriate roles for local govern- ments to play in benefiting primary health care services, established links between organizations representing New England health care providers and local governments, and prepared a regional program proposal to build local government ca- pacity to improve primary health care through de- velopment and expansion of roles. Types of infor- mation collected and the data collection process- es used are described, including health resources data, opinion surveys, and case studies. The find- ings indicated serious maldistribution of primary care services within the study area and conditions which tend to discourage local government partici- pation in improvement of those services. Such conditions include lack of knowledge of the health care services and planning system, lack of positive models of local government participation in the health care system, and perception of citizen atti- tudes toward local government participation as negative, especially if taxation or expenditures are involved. Several appropriate and effective roles were identified which could enable local govern- ments to assist in improving the health care serv- ices available: direct provider (physician, hospital, and ambulance services), indirect provider, advo- cator (community interests), analyzer (evaluates needs), educator (public health), resource coordi- nator, sponsor, subsidizer, and policymaker.

Multipurpose transportation systems for the devel- opmentally disabled and the elderly are the focus of this study sponsored by the New Jersey Devel- opmental Disabilities Council. Trends in the evolv- ing transportation dilemma from 1950 to 1974 are examined on a national scale and in the State of New Jersey, and supporting data are tabulated. Projections are made of employment in New Jersey through 1980 and of the U.S. population through 1990. Transportation problems of the dis- abled and the elderly are considered, with particu- lar attention given to travel barriers and the provi- sion of transportation services. Kinds of informa- tion which may be useful in determining the demand for specialized transportation services are extrapolation from census materials or other sec- ondary sources, information gathered from agen- cies about their clients, and surveys of disabled and elderly individuals. A basic framework for the design of a transportation system is presented, and it is suggested that multipurpose personalized systems are preferable. It is noted that obtaining funding for special-purpose transportation sys- tems is difficult and that there are also legal and institutional issues to be taken into account.

The increasing role of rural hospitals in health care delivery is discussed. Despite the complexities presented by increasing regulation, administrators of small rural hospitals find that physicians, em- ployees, patients, and visitors with whom they deal behave rather consistently over time. Prospective rate schedules are likely to have a far greater impact on urban hospitals than on rural hospitals, and rural hospitals are less likely to be targets of union activities. Many rural hospitals have limited or no competition, so a certificate-of-need applica- tion may have sections that are not pertinent to a particular hospital's situation. Possibilities for a rural hospital to consider in organizational change are: sell to an investor-owned chain, sign a man- agement contract with an investor-owned chain, sign a management contract with a nonprofit chain, form a consortium of rural hospitals in a state, or become a satellite of a large voluntary metropolitan hospital. Problems faced by rural hospitals in effecting change are discussed, with emphasis on service and equipment availability and the supply of physicians and other medical personnel. Rural hospitals need the flexibility pri- vate practice offers to physicians to function effec- tively.

The Miami, Florida Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged has developed a community outreach service based on the strengths of its inpatient care services. One motivating factor was the long wait- ing list of residents for the home, and the home's awareness of a need to provide health services for these persons while still in the community; another factor was the realization that the home could do more for all aged in the community. The effort began in 1974 with a mental health outreach pro- gram funded by the Dade County Mental Health Board consisting of a gerontological mental health program providing psychiatric services to persons over age 60. The program has expanded to pro- vide services to persons over age 50 by a staff of more than 20 professionals and is funded by a number of grants. A satellite center operates in a storefront on South Miami Beach where many el- derly poor live. Two day centers function to serve impaired elderly through health screening, nutri- tional education, recreational and diversional ther- apy, arts and crafts, psychotherapy, and a hot meal and two snacks each day. Referral and coun- seling services are also carried on, both for those who can remain in the community with support services, and those who need institutional care. In 1976 the Douglas Gardens Gerontological Insti- tute was established to train personnel in commu- nity agencies, nursing homes, nursing services, social work agencies and others, that deliver serv- ices to the elderly. As a result of the success of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged, the authors conclude that as the institutional nucleus expands, the potential for long-term care institu- tions to serve as catalysts and service providers in the community also expands.

Of the 400 names selected (200 boys and 200 girls, all born in 1903), 116 were lo- cated. A total of 106 of these persons (36 males, 70 females) were identified as potential inter- viewees. Because four of the subjects were chron- ic mental patients, study findings are reported for only 102 subjects. The results were that 71 of the subjects reported chronic illness but that only 31 thought of themselves as ill; only 3.9 percent of the subjects could be diagnosed as being hypochon- driac; and interest in physical exercise and a re- strictive attitude towards smoking and drinking are associated with better health. The low frequency of hypochondria in the sample is attributed to the sampling procedure. The procedure refrained from using voluntary subjects and thus succeeded in obtaining a representative field sample. HRP-0026123/0 Not Available NTIS Minnesota Univ., Minneapolis.

Because home health care is promoted as a way to return many elderly citizens to homes, more space may become avail- able for the elderly retarded in institutions. Prob- lems persist in accurate identification of the elderly retarded. Many go undetected, especially since they may have a normal history through their mar- ried lives. On the other hand, they may be experi- encing emotional problems and may not be truly retarded. Societal attitudes toward the mentally re- tarded are changing to a more accepting mode. Fears that integration of retarded and nonretarded individuals will not be tolerated by the nonretarded may lessen in subsequent years. The retarded ex- perience the aging process similarly to the nonre- tarded population and can adapt to a nursing home environment, perhaps even more successfully than the nonretarded elderly.

Aging is discussed as a developmental crisis for families that necessitates a shift in reciprocal role relationships between family members. Perhaps the greatest issue facing elderly persons and their families is whether they should live together or separately. In separate living arrangements, there are a variety of ways to support persons who cannot be independent: meals on wheels, retire- ment villages, live-in nurses, or companions. These should all be supported by frequent contact between elderly persons and their families. If for reasons of deteriorating health or financial prob- lems, the elderly live with their families, several areas of conflict can be eased by awareness and planning: the need for private space for all con- cerned; the elderly person's need to keep some of his or her furnishings; how to include the elderly person in family chores; agreement on childrearing and discipline; and babysitting responsibilities. Physicians can and should advise families on how to cope with the problems of the elderly and with developmental crises.

This article discusses six justifications for providing greater equity in the provision of health services: (1) protection from infectious diseases; (2) lack of consumer knowledge; (3) comprehensive assess- ment and treatment for children; (4) destruction of working capacity and economic security due to ill- 29 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ness; (5) society's interest in restoring its citizens to working capacity; and (6) a sense of social soli- darity. It is difficult to consider the concept of a health minimum in American society, where physi- cians working in acute care have become accus- tomed to use virtually whatever resources they desire. Services of a primary health care team, in- cluding the personal physician, should come first in any specification of a minimum and should include house calls, immunizations and child assess- ments, family planning services, nursing and check-ups in the home for the elderly and dis- abled, and the promotion of preventive health be- havior. The major cost of such a focus would not be in dollars but rather in professional attitude and expectation changes, a fundamental reorientation of educational purposes and processes, and shifts in public expectations toward personal responsibil- ity for health maintenance.

The growth of geriatrics as a medical specialty in the United States is attested to by the planned in- crease in geriatric residency programs and the active interest demonstrated by physicians in the field. When geriatric courses were considered for development in medical schools 5 years ago, the response was negative; the response is now over- whelmingly positive. For instance, the Veterans' Administration (VA) is beginning a geriatrics and gerontology training program for board-certified physicians at VA hospitals affiliated with medical schools. Cornell University Medical College has endowed a chair in geriatrics, a Senate bill to fund geriatric education in U.S. medical schools has been introduced in Congress, and in Ohio the medical schools are required to set up geriatric medicine units. Physicians and medical students are also requesting training in geriatrics more fre- quently, wishing to integrate such training with other specialties. In designing such training, geron- tologists are stressing the management of elderly patients as a comprehensive approach requiring coordination of clinical specialists and profession- als in economics, sociology, ethics, and law. The special medical problems of the elderly are de- scribed to indicate areas where inappropriate clini- cal treatment may push such patients into nursing home care prematurely and disadvantageously. In particular, symptomatology in the elderly may mis- lead diagnosticians who depend on overt symp- toms to indicate clinical conditions. It is concluded that as the field of geriatrics expands, the elderly will be able to enjoy health without institutionalization longer. HRP-0026492/9 Not Available NTIS Oregon Univ.

Three aspects of geriatric care (patient advocate, independent living, and protective unit) are dis- cussed. The role of patient advocate which may be assumed by a nurse or nursing aide, involves standing up for the rights of older patients to keep them physically healthy, mentally whole, and out of high-cost hospitals and nursing homes. The pa- tient advocate helps elderly patients to fight un- necessary restrictions and debilitation resulting from the sometimes inappropriate concerns of in- stitutions. The identification and referral of home services that are available to the elderly can be a significant service to those who are resisting institutionalization. Independent living for the el- derly can be facilitated even within a nursing home through appropriate rehabilitative measures. In- stead of routinely performing all services for resi- dents, allowing them to care for themselves when they are able provides the basis for maintaining viability. The overprotection and understimulation suffered by most nursing home residents can be halted by adopting an attitude that rehabilitation in the elderly is possible and preferable. Some pa- tients (e.g., brain damaged) can be better man- aged in a protective facility, where their worst risks are controlled and where they can receive more specialized care. A facility where patients are sep- arate from others in a unit designed to allow bodily freedom without undue risk is described. Features of the facility include a smaller eating area without confusing sensory input and a larger area in which to move before encountering a locked door. Pa- tients who were unrestrained in this facility im- proved in hand-mouth and fine motor coordination, allowing the nursing staff to concentrate on medi- cal and individual problems.

A study inquiring into the needs of independent, elderly persons living in the province of British Co- lumbia, Canada, is reported. Four communities were studied: Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, Langford-Colwood, Sechelt Peninsula, and White Rock. Their geographic and demographic charac- teristics are profiled in an appendix. Seminars were organized locally to solicit participation of elderly citizens. The seminars gathered information about needs of the elderly, raised the level of awareness in the community about those needs, discussed possible alternatives for action relating to those needs, and prepared a provincial report. Findings of the seminars are presented relating to health services, transportation, accommodation, recrea- tion, and knowledge and use of services. Based on the findings relating to these topics in the four communities, recommendations were made. The recommendations for action included publicly funded transportation utilizing accessible vehicles, development and expansion of home services, fi- nancial support for appropriately designed low- cost housing, lower cost and better maintenance of prosthetics, orthoptics, and special equipment, development of geriatric day care centers, avail- ability of temporary placement services for the el- derly, visitation programs, and information serv- ices.

This article describes the economics of chronic mental illness and the care of the chronically men- tally disabled. It provides an overview of the distri- bution and allocation of scarce health and human service investments in the effort to ameliorate mental illness. The cost of direct care for mental illness was $14.5 billion in 1974 - almost 15 per- cent of all direct health care expenditures in the United States. The indirect costs of mental illness are those that result because of the illness but that are not directly related to care and treatment. It is difficult to precisely quantify the costs of chronic mental illness because of problems in defining the population in question and compiling the neces- sary data from varied cost centers. Although there are not complete economic answers based on re- search on the most cost-efficient and cost-effec- tive allocation of resources for the care of the chronic mental patient, rational and clear funding policies must be designed to make care continu- ous and accessible to the patient in the communi- ty. Consideration must be given to how the pro- posed national health insurance can be made rele- vant to the needs of the chronic mental patient. Tables are included.

The importance of social change in the clinical practice of medicine is illustrated. The extent of the health delivery gap is described and background concerning the historical origins of these problems is provided. The way that the economic and social class structure of the United States determines the nature and function of the health sector is dis- cussed. It is noted that the questions of what serv- ices to provide and for whom are primarily deter- mined by whoever is dominant in the process of defining and directing these questions. Current (1977) proposals for solving these problems are delineated. The importance of the patients' social milieus in the proper management of health and illness is discussed. The direct relationship that income has to health is discussed, and it is noted that increased maternal mortality, increased pre- natal mortality, decreased life span, and percent- age of bedridden disability days are all related to poor education and low income. Documented evi- dence shows that hypertension and hypertensive heart disease occur significantly more often in the poor, regardless of race or place of residence. The impact that a comprehensive health care service can have on the health of a community is dis- cussed. The quality of health services and cost control of health services are examined.

The social, economic, and psychological effects of retirement communities are analyzed, and the ar- chitectural criteria for the development of such communities are noted. The fundamental charac- teristics of retirement communities and their occu- pants are examined. Five retirement villages in the fringe area of New York City and Philadelphia are studied. They are said to represent a cross-section of retirement housing (low- and moderate-income, publicly subsidized projects as well as privately fi- nanced and planned retirement communities and life-care institutions). These villages are compared in terms of three characteristics: entrance require- ments, complete community planning, and rela- tively low-cost housing coupled with high levels of amenities. The impact of the communities on mu- 30 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT nicipal environments is considered. To determine how retirement communities age and how they sustain demand, realtors were surveyed and ques- tionnaires were mailed to 1,033 residents of the five sample communities, as well as former resi- dents.

Literature concerned with the way in which person- al medical care services are affected by out-of- pocket payments is reviewed. National health in- surance plans with varying levels of out-of-pocket payments are being considered by Congress. Out- of-pocket payments are said to refer to coinsur- ance, copayments, and deductibles. Coinsurance is the percentage of the bill that must be paid by the patient. Copayment establishes a fixed dollar amount per unit of service that the patient must pay. A deductible requires the patient to pay a cer- tain amount before payment of any insurance benefits. It is noted that while consumers normally shop for the lower-priced supplier of a given prod- uct or service, insurance subverts this mechanism. A hospital facing a market of fully insured consum- ers is considered. If hospital rates are increased, the hospital will collect more from insurance com- panies or the government. The higher rates will not keep patients from being admitted. The physician has no motivation to search out potentially more efficient hospitals for his patients. Coinsurance is said to give an incentive to search, but low coinsur- ance rates give correspondingly little incentive. Ex- ceeded deductibles and copayments give no in- centive to search.

The sulfur dioxide standards and limits for Illinois were originally adopted by the Illinois Pollution Control Board (PCB) on April 13, 1972. In March 1974 the PCB began inquiry hearings to reassess the appropriateness of Rule 204 in light of the in- creases in oil prices following the Arab oil embar- go, the limited success of sulfur removal systems, shortages of natural gas and low sulfur coal in Illi- nois, and the 1975 deadline for compliance with the rule. During these and related PCB hearings a number of amendments to the sulfur dioxide regu- lations were proposed. On April 20, 1977, a public meeting convened in Springfield, Illinois, at the re- quest of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). At this meeting certain unre- solved issues arising out of the PCB hearing record were discussed. Based on this discussion the Illi- nois EPA redrafted its May 1976 proposed amend- ments to Rule 204. The provisions of the current sulfur dioxide regulation and this latest proposal served as the bases for selecting alternative con- trol strategies, which are evaluated in this study.

In total, 190 fuel combustion sources are included in the analysis. These are distributed regionally as follows: 40 in the Chicago Major Metropolitan Area (MMA), 62 in the Peoria MMA, 34 in the St. Louis (Illinois) MMA, and 54 in the remainder of the state. The cost estimates are the capital, operating and maintenance expenses for purchasing, installing, and operating permanent controls to comply with the SO sub 2 and particulate matter control regula- tions. The control options include flue gas desul- furizaton equipment (scrubbers); particulate matter control devices (such as electrostatic precipita- tors, fabric filters, and mechanical collectors); and/ or fuel switching. The four appendixes include an analysis of the regulations, a list of sources ana- lyzed in the Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis metro- politan areas, sample output from cost simulation model, and a reprint of a conference paper on the evaluation of stationary sources in Chicago through interdisciplinary modeling.

Early in 1975 both houses of Congress passed by wide margins bill S. 652, the "Surface Mining Con- trol and Reclamation Act of 1975"; the act was subsequently vetoed by the President. The bill is written in such a manner that control is left to the states, with the Department of the Interior serving as an agency of last resort with the power to assume the state's role if the state fails in its duty. S. 652 gives each state 18 months to establish controls at least equal to the Federal require- ments; a comparison of the two indicates what steps a state must take to meet the requirements. The main purpose of this study was to examine the Iowa Code dealing with strip mining from an envi- ronmental standpoint, and to suggest needed changes in, or additions to the Code. To accom- plish this, S. 652 was compared with state laws of ten other states, in addition to Iowa; none of the state laws approaches the provisions of S. 652. On the basis of the comparison of the Iowa Code with S. 652, eleven criteria are proposed for considera- tion for additional regulation of strip mining in Iowa.

During the life of this development, com- plexity has oscillated back and forth between bare necessity and luxurious wants. As presently struc- tured, LACCE offers the user a power that has been proven beneficial in LASL operations. The complexity involved has been well masked and exists largely on the computer side so that the user is comfortably unaware. The atmosphere of the environment during this development should be noted as highly significant in the success. Manage- ment, estimators and systems designers have worked side-by-side; management interest in the success of the venture was understood by all; and skills and expertise overlapped to form a chain with no missing links. It is apparent that LACCE is not complete. More powerful means of modeling and data base maintenance are foreseen already, as well as code simplification, but the existing system gives LASL managers the ability to make much better decisions than just a few years ago.

Model outputs include population, permanent and mobile homes, public facilities and municipal debt, local property tax rate and state transfer payments, construction work force, con- struction productivity, and retail and service facili- ties. The model can be used to simulate the behav- ior of these variables over a time span covering the pre-boom, construction, operation, and retirement phases of an energy project. The model runs may be interrupted in any year to simulate the effective- ness of assistance measures that have been pro- posed by national, state, local, and energy compa- ny officials.

The history and economic status of the Navajo Indian Tribe are reviewed briefly. As measured by several yardsticks of economic well-being, the Navajo fall significantly below the rest of the United States. The Navajo have adopted an eco- nomic development plan "to bring the Navajo up to an equal footing with the rest of the nation." In view of these factors and the traditional rural set- tlement patterns of the Navajo, it is proposed that economic development within the Navajo Nation be aimed at encouraging increased productivity at a local level, in harmony with traditional values and lifestyles. Technology should be developed and adapted that can complement current Navajo life patterns. Technology appropriate for the Navajo would be of low capital cost, reliable, labor-inten- sive, personally satisfying to use, and decentral- ized. It is argued that appropriate technology can provide an increased material standard of living while permitting continuation of dispersed settle- ment patterns and traditional values. It is suggest- ed that a Center be established as part of the Navajo Community College to develop appropriate technological aids for the Navajo and to implement this technology within the vast Navajo Nation. A possible structure for such a Center is offered, and it is suggested that a detailed study be undertaken to determine the feasibility of establishing the Center.

Recovery of municipal solid wastes (MSW) can reduce the mass of landfilled wastes by as much as 95% and can tap a vast new energy resource. The yearly collection of MSW is estimated to be 125 million tons nationwide. Three basic technol- ogies for recovering energy from MSW are consid- ered, namely: direct combustion using a waterwall incinerator in which heat from burning refuse is converted to steam by circulating water in steel tubes jacketing the interior of the incinerator; man- ufacture of a relatively uniform shredded, pulver- ized, or pelleted refuse-derived fuel for supple- mental firing in a utility boiler; and pyrolysis or de- structive distillation of MSW to extract a low-Btu fuel gas. While resource and energy recovery sys- tems can be installed independently, the process- 32 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT es described here include both energy and re- source-recovery systems as well as necessary pol- lution-control equipment for gaseous emissions. Three end-use applications of cogeneration sys- tems are characterized, including: fluidized-bed co- generation systems for use in the pulp and paper industry; diesel system using the digested sewage gas of a sewage treatment plant for electricity gen- eration as well as heating and pumping; and an en- hanced oil recovery system. Comparisons are made of system inputs per 10 exp 12 Btu steam output for Landguard pyrolysis, Garrett flash pyro- lysis, Union Carbide Purox process, direct combus- tion, refuse-derived fuels, fluidized-bed cogenera- tion, diesel cogeneration, and enhanced oil recov- ery (cogeneration). The RFD system is by far the cheapest to build and is also the most efficient in terms of energy recovery per ton of MSW. The flui- dized-bed system has the highest overall system efficiency. However, the PUROX system uses the least ancillary energy and is the only system not requiring an input water flow. Thus the RFD is the most favorable for capital inputs and the PUROX is the most favorable for operational inputs. (ERA ci- tation 04:040791) LBL-8288 PC A02/MF A01 California Univ., Berkeley.

A significant constraint on this effort was the need to maintain, and where necessary, improve the fail-safe nature of the train control system. Particular attention was paid to reducing the fraction of maintenance diagnoses which re- sulted in a No Trouble Found report; at the start of the task-team effort, these represented half of the revenue service failures of this system.

Land-use change is predicted for individual 40-acre cells de- fined by a grid superimposed on the total region.

The report concludes by discussing the place of such models in the practical world of plan- ning and decision making. A critical review of cost vs. potential benefit finds data-intensive models such as the cell model too costly for the average planning agency, and a less costly alternative pro- cedure is suggested. A more appropriate role for large-scale data-intensive computer models is identified as research tools for exploring and de- veloping land-use process theory.

Based on literature sources, capital- cost estimates, operating manpower require- ments, energy requirements, and combined annual costs were developed for each alternative. For ex- ample, an ANFLOW treatment plant with a design flow rate of 1 million gal per day, which would serve a population of about 10,000, would cost on an annual basis about $135,000, as compared to $290,000 for the activated-sludge process and $1 90,000 for the trickling-filter process, using $1 0/ ft exp 3 for the ANFLOW media. Energy require- ments for the ANFLOW alternative were 1 1 % of the activated-sludge process requirements and 23% of the trickling-filter polishing step to the ANFLOW process, the annual cost of the ANFLOW process was increased to $160,000, and the energy requirements of the ANFLOW process were increased to 23% of the activated-sludge process and 50% of the trickling-filter process.

This handbook is the first to assemble nutritional information and make recommendations on the ef- ficient use of unprocessed grains, beans, and other elemental foods during the aftermath of a nu- clear war. These basic foods would constitute the main resources to combat famine after a major nu- clear attack. Such an attack would reduce and probably eliminate most commercial food process- ing for many months. To decision makers, this handbook should prove useful on basic aspects of nutrition in a long-term survival situation. These de- cision makers might range from the heads of fami- lies to government officials. Recommendations for nutrition given by organizations experienced in crisis feeding are reviewed and compared. Based on the best nutritional information available, emer- gency dietary recommendations are made for mini- mum and intermediate goals. The emergency di- etary recommendations are applied to food for practical survival rations. Long-term survival ra- tions for Americans are evaluated. These rations are (1) ten single-food rations; (2) four cereal- legume rations, ratio 4:1; (3) four cereal-legume ra- tions, ratio 8:1; and (4) four cereal-legume-dry milk rations. The 22 different survival rations are de- tailed and summarized in 20 tables which list their nutritional adequacies and deficiences. Expedient procedures are given by which basic foods may be processed and cooked to provide a more healthful diet than most Americans believe possible.

Aug 78, 132p Keywords: 'Civil defense, 'Fallout shelters, Con- struction, Feasibility studies, USA, ERDA/990500, Emergency preparedness. Seventeen different families or groups of individ- uals untrained in building techniques constructed one of the following seven alternative expedient fallout shelters: Door-Covered Trench, Log-Cov- ered Trench, Car-Over-Trench, Above-Ground Door-Covered, Crib-Walled, Ridge-Pole, and Tilt- up Doors and Earth. The builders of each shelter were guided only by one-page instructions pre- pared for that shelter by Defense Civil Prepared- ness Agency. Nine of these same families or groups also built an expedient shelter-ventilating pump, following brief instructions of Defense Civil Preparedness Agency. To simulate crisis condi- tions, the groups were offered a base pay rate for constructing each respective shelter within a spec- ified time frame. If the shelter were completed in half the specified time, an additional bonus was given. With the exception of only one group, all participants received the bonus. Generally speak- ing, the participants demonstrated that construc- tion of the respective shelters in accordance with the shelter designs was feasible. The builders were less successful in following the brief instruc- tions for making an expedient air pump. Of the nine pumps built, only four would pump air effectively. Numerous suggestions were made by the partici- pants and observers regarding the improvement of the instructions. Among the more general sugges- tions were: (1) instructions should not be con- densed to only one page; (2) brief explanations should be given regarding why certain steps are taken; (3) selection criteria for locating a shelter site should be suggested; and (4) more illustrations which are less complex should be included in each set of plans.

The present report describes the work performed for the development of a comprehensive commu- nity energy management plan (project EXIST- Energy Experiment in Saving Tomorrow). The pro- gram was supported by a cost-sharing agreement between the city and ERDA. The first objective was to establish a methodology for the develop- ment of an energy-management plan for communi- ties. The proposed methodology comprises five phases: energy-base data by type of energy, cate- gory of users, and end uses (energy audit); local energy resources; identification and quantification of the conservation possibilities and of the oppor- tunities for integration of local resources in the community energy-flow diagram; evaluation of the technical feasibility and energy, economic, and social impacts of integrated energy systems and development of an energy plan with recommenda- tions for its implementation. A statistical method for analysis of patterns of energy uses and a matri- cal method for analysis of economic, energy, and social impact of alternative energy systems are proposed. The second objective of the program was to apply the proposed methodology to the case of the City of Clarksburg. This resulted in gen- eration of a comprehensive Energy Management Plan delivered to the City Council of Clarksburg. The Plan proposes immediate-, near-, and long- term measures to improve the energy supply and demand position of the city. An institutional frame- work is also suggested for practical implementa- tion of the Plan. It is noteworthy that some of the recommendations concerning the city services in- cluded in the Plan have already been implemented by the City with encouraging results.

Despite a significant reduction during the 1960's and early 1970's of the number of Americans living below the poverty threshold, welfare rolls and costs increased sharply. A variety of federal, state, and local programs have been launched to deal with the dilemma. A key component of several of the reform efforts is the requirement that employ- able public assistance recipients accept work or training as a condition for continued assistance. This study examined the impact of New York State's compulsory work requirement (Workfare) on a sample of employable welfare recipients who were placed in private employment in October, 1 972, under the aegis of the Workfare Statute.

This report proposes a general structure for the planning process for dealing with the problems of the transportation handicapped (TH). Flexibility of procedures and the avoidance of unnecessary standardization are emphasized. Planning for the needs of the TH may be incorporated into conven- tional transit planning or emerge as an independ- ent process. Effective participation by the trans- portation handicapped and those who serve them (transit and taxi operators, union representatives, local health and social service agencies) is dis- cussed in detail. Use of census data, the National Health Survey, and general population surveys to assess the transportation needs is presented. Pro- cedures for the assessment of current resources and existing constraints are reviewed. Time phas- ing, plan revision, and system monitoring are also discussed.

The subject addressed by this study is the impact of proposed mandatory national beverage contain- er deposit legislation - commonly referred to as 'bottle bill' legislation. The study examines specific impacts that the imposition of a 5-cent refundable deposit on all beer and soft drink containers (refill- able bottles, nonrefillable bottles and cans) would have on the total beverage related industry. The study is not a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of mandatory deposit legislation, but rather exam- ines three major areas of potential impact. These impact areas are (1) changes in annual energy consumption, (2) changes in capital investment re- quirements (in terms of fixed plant and equipment), and (3) changes in labor requirements (in terms of jobs and earnings). These impacts are developed for those industries in the total beverage system that would be most affected by changes caused by a mandatory deposit. The industries included are: retailers, beverage producers and distributors, container manufacturers, and producers of basic steel and aluminum. The report is composed of a summary, three primary chapters and 13 support- ing appendices. PB-258 638/6 PC A99/MF A01 Research Triangle Inst., Research Triangle Park, N.C.

This study found that, typically, persons released from prison have few financial resources with which to become reintegrated into society. Most have little in the way of prison earnings or savings or prospects for a job; moreover, often they are ineligible for welfare. To partly compensate for this, 46 States, D.C. and the Federal government grant gate money to inmates at release. Generally, this money is woefully insufficient, and still not all releasees receive the maximum amount allowed. In 40 States, the range of gate money is between $10 and $100. To date, the most ambitious finan- cial assistance program for ex-inmates is that of the State of Washington and provides for weekly payments for up to 26 weeks after release. The study concludes that a national program such as this likely would benefit both the offender popula- tion and society as a whole. 37 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-259 143/6 PC A02/MF A01 Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The objective of this research project is to design a pollution-free system for the economic utilization of municipal solid waste with emphasis on the con- ditions and requirements of New York City. In Phase I of this study a critical assessment was made of the leading advanced technology systems in terms of engineering estimates of capital re- quirements, operating costs, and by-product cred- its to select the process of greatest ecological and economic merit for the New York metropolitan area. Phase II of the Project addressed the larger question of designing a fully integrated waste utili- zation system for New York City, including the sizing and siting of the optimum mix of refuse con- version plants, and the disposition of the recov- ered energy and materials. The conclusions of this study and the recommended design, termed the Columbia Plan, are presented in this report. PB-259 443/0 PC A04/MF A01 Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati.

Keywords: 'Flood control, 'Federal assistance programs, 'Insurance, Losses, Communities, Land use, Flood plain zoning, Mathematical models, Community relations, Local government, Planning, New York, 'Flood insurance, Federal programs. The Federal Flood Insurance Program requires that individual communities pass a land use law aimed at reducing flood losses before individuals in their respective communities can purchase flood insurance. Some communities with flood hazard areas have responded with varying rates of speed, while others have not responded at all. By July 1, 1975, more than one-third of the 745 New York communities threatened with federal sanctions had failed to act. This research develops a model to predict whether or not communities will adopt the program and their speed of adoption. The theoretical concepts employed are community dif- ferentiation, community centrality, and program need. These variables are operationalized using the presence or absence of a zoning ordinance, whether or not the community subscribes to the New York State Building Code, recent experience with flooding, and regional location in New York State. Each of these variables is positively and in- dependently related to program adoption, speed of adoption, and whether the community initiates the action to participate or acts in response to federal notification. The findings are consistent with other studies of community innovation and change. Policy implications of the findings are discussed.

The study in- cluded: selecting the best commercial method for fabricating optimum heads; determining that proto- type simulated-production heads could reproduce an earlier research head's beneficial results; and testing prototype heads as retrofit devices in two commercial residential furnaces. A one-piece stamped and folded design was evolved and pro- totype commercial heads were fabricated. Re- search combustion chamber tests showed these to be equivalent to the earlier research head. Tested as retrofit replacements for stock burner heads in two new warm-air oil furnaces, the proto- type heads were found to be operationally satis- factory and potentially durable and long-lived. It was estimated that widespread retrofitting of old residential units could increase mean season-av- eraged thermal efficiency (averaged over those units retrofitted) by about 5% and simultaneously reduce NOx emissions from these sources by about 20%. Logistics of a retrofit program, training for service personnel, and requirements to ensure meeting codes and standards were not resolved.

This report defines the concept of parking man- agement and explores how parking management can be used to improve air quality, support mass transit, reduce energy consumption and improve the amenities of life in urban areas. Specific as- pects of this analysis were developments of a pro- totype parking management plan for the Washing- ton, D.C. metropolitan area illustrating types of measures which can be used for parking manage- ment; evaluation of the socioeconomic impacts of parking measures in the plan and their effective- ness in reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and improving air quality; development of a parking management planning process which integrates local and regionwide planning through the use of regional guidelines. Four target areas in the D.C. region were studied in detail: the D.C. Core, Ross- lyn, Va.,Silver Spring, Md., and Centreville, Va. A regional plan was then developed from information gathered in the target area studies, including an analysis of regionwide parking related goals and problems.

Central community facilities have been constructed in the native villages of Emmonak and Wainwright to provide a safe water supply; toilets, bathing and laundry facilities; and sewage and waste disposal. The idea of coming to a communi- ty center to secure water, to do the laundry, and to bathe has proven acceptable to the people of Wainwright and Emmonak. However, Alaskan native villages generally can not pay, through serv- ice charges, the full cost of routine operation and maintenance of water-related utilities, especially where complex treatment is required to meet waste treatment standards.

The primary objective of the project is to demon- strate the technical and economical feasibility of recovering energy from mixed municipal waste using a gaseous pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis is the physical and chemical decomposition of organic matter brought about by the action of heat in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. In order to meet the objective, the City of Baltimore is building a full size 1 ,000 ton per day plant that will receive mixed mu- nicipal solid waste, including white goods (appli- ances), tires, and eventually sewage sludge. The plant will generate steam, recover ferrous metals, and produce char and a glassy aggregate product. The project includes the design, construction, op- eration and evaluation of a system that will convert most of the input waste into useable products. It will receive approximately one half of Baltimore's residential solid waste. PB-261 062/4 PC A06/MF A01 Science Applications, Inc., El Segundo, Calif.

Economic goals established by priority have been relevant to goal achievement. The basic economic problem in the area is that the area is not self-sufficient to gener- ate local employment opportunities. Of all unem- ployed persons in San Antonio, the family income is below $3000. A plan was designed to reverse the economic conditions in the area by stimulating its economy to improve related physical and social conditions. Several goals are in the achievement stage with the basic goal being to increase jobs and incomes with the San Antonio Special Impact area.

It has become increasingly important that the value of water resources in non-consumptive uses, such as recreation, be quantified. Numerous meth- ods of site evaluation have been attempted-all en- countering problems stemming from the use of proxies for consumers' willingness to pay for site use. A fundamentally more direct method is pro- posed here: a fee experiment. No method of valu- ing angler access to a limited site can measure the value of fishing in general, fishing on an entire river, the option value of fishing, nor the non-fish- ing attributes of site conservation. Yet equity, effi- ciency, and Montana law all require that economic evaluation, of the type obtainable by the proposed study, be made to facilitate rational allocation of resources. A fee experiment for a specific site on the Yellowstone River is specified in detail. This method avoids the problems associated with the use of proxies for consumer willingness to pay.

The Environmental Protection Agency administers a construction grant program to encourage abate- ment of wastewater pollution by sharing with mu- nicipalities the costs of wastewater treatment facil- ities. The enabling legislation (P.L. 92-500) speci- fies that EPA's cost share will be 75% of construc- tion costs. It further requires municipalities to col- lect user fees from industrial users of the facilities to repay that part of the federal grant allocable to the treatment of industrial wastewater. The munici- pality must return half of the user fees collected to the U.S. Treasury; the municipality is allowed to retain the remaining half. This article examines the legislative and regulatory requirements for user charges, derives the algebraic expressions for cal- culating the real federal, municipal, and industrial cost shares with user fees; computes municipal cost shares for selected values of the determinant factors; evaluates efficiency and other conse- quences of current user fee arrangements; and concludes that the efficiency distortions brought about by the impacts of user fees on cost sharing could be eliminated by requiring that all user fees collected from industry against the federal cost share be returned to the U.S. Treasury.

In the past, courts have described Indian sover- eignty in ways that suggest the existence of power in the Navajo Tribe to tax the activities and proper- ty of non-Indians on their Reservation. These judi- cial statements were made, however, at a time when tribal governments were viewed as transi- tional mechanisms for Indian assimilation, and contact between Indians and non-Indians on the Reservation was minimal. Current efforts by non- Indians to develop energy resources on the Navajo Reservation will result in greater benefits for the Navajo people if the Navajos can exercise taxing power to the exclusion of the states. Since large- scale taxation assumes and permits the growth of a complex Tribal government with a sense of per- manence, legal doctrine and legislative schemes may alter as the Navajo Tribe attempts to assert itself. Changes in the definition of Tribal sovereign- ty and the extent of federal and state limitations on taxing and other Tribal powers should be anticipat- ed if the Navajo Tribe begins taxing non-Indians.

In a nonprobability quota sample designed to reach 200 individuals in each of ten sections of the city, half male and half female from 14 years of age and up, 1 ,738 people were interviewed regarding their preferences for recreation. There was considerable diversity both in favorite recreational activities and in the per- ceived need for parks and recreation, the latter of which was associated with the differences in the section of Bridgeport where an individual lived. Also associated with the section where individuals lived were differences in the perceived scale of neighborhood, interaction and relationships with neighbors, and how long people had lived in an area. Age, more than any other variable, appeared related to recreational interests, use of the parks, and perceived needs for improvement.

The study had its origins in the aftermath of Tropi- cal Storm Agnes, which devastated populous areas of the East Coast in 1972. More than 15,000 mobile homes were purchased by HUD to meet the need for temporary housing in the areas most severely hit by Agnes. The high costs and other problems associated with this unprecedented relief effort raised serious questions as to how the federal government could more efficiently dis- charge its responsibility for providing temporary housing assistance to the victims of major disast- ers. This study was solely concerned with the cost- effectiveness of temporary housing systems. Nev- ertheless, certain policy options could not be over- looked and were examined during the work. The study required a broad, interdisciplinary approach. 44 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT It ranged from an analysis of the existing legal and administrative framework of federal disaster relief to the science of disaster prediction, to an apprais- al of industrialized housing and ancillary technol- ogy; and to in-depth architectural and engineering analyses and calculations.

The report examines the hazard arising from four types of natural disasters: earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The purposes of the report are two-fold: (1) to delineate a typology that will highlight the differences in these natural dis- asters as they influence the provision of systems housing for relief operations and (2) to use histori- cal understanding of disasters, especially their ge- ographic distribution, intensity, frequency and ef- fects to estimate the need for post-disaster hous- ing assistance. Geographical elements are identi- fied on the basis of four regions: western, central, southern and eastern. Estimates contained in the report indicate housing assistance requirements over the next decade resulting from natural disast- ers. The result was a ranking of disaster situations based on three primary criteria: scope of estimated housing displacement, likelihood of their occur- rence, and the capacity for response. The findings led to the conclusion that five severe disaster situ- ations, which will require the majority of all housing assistance, will occur over the next decade.

Prototype housing systems were subjected to comprehensive testing which simulated conditions anticipated during 1 years of disaster use, including 10,000 miles of travel over highways and railroads. During transportation test- ing each prototype was erected, deployed, and re- moved to simulate actual disaster use. Prototypes of only three systems were developed as one system was eliminated due to high cost. After test- ing all systems were evaluated using the same cri- teria. The Special Design Mobile Home was found to be the most cost effective for the purpose. PB-262 809/7 PC A12/MF A01 California Univ., Los Angeles. School of Architec- ture and Urban Planning.

A methodology for identifying lifestyle groups within a population as a function of travel demands, socioeconomic and demographic char- acteristics, and residential location patterns is pre- sented. The methodology involves the application of factor and cluster analysis to census data de- scribing the population. Data from Los Angeles County are utilized as a specific case study. Life- style groups of the elderly (aged 65 and older) and middle-aged (aged 45-64) populations are exam- ined for similar characteristics and location pat- terns. The results suggest that the future mobility needs of the elderly can be anticipated by studying the lifestyles and activity patterns of younger age groups and by forecasting economic and housing trends.

Because of recent urban and suburban application of floodplain management and insurance pro- grams, the establishment of procedures and com- puter programs useful in the selection and sizing of control measures that limit flow increases due to upstream urban development to tolerable levels is of growing concern to urban planners and consult- ing engineers. A computer program that combines hydrologic simulation and multivariate optimiz- ation techniques was developed in an effort to pro- vide engineers with a useful approach to the solu- tion of the urban flood control design problem. The hydrologic simulations are accomplished using techniques of computer program HEC-1, 'Flood Hydrograph Package'. Each drainage or storage component is represented by a parametric stor- age-outflow relationship. The multivariable cost- minimization routine, a member of a class of non- linear programming techniques known as methods of feasible directions, exercises the hydrologic simulation routine with various magnitudes of each storage-outflow parameter to determine control component combinations of successively decreas- ing cost that limit downstream flows to target levels. Two hypothetical drainage systems are used to investigate the applicability of the comput- er program to urban drainage design problems and to evaluate the computer time requirements of the program.

The computer programs supplement the report 'The Marginal Cost and Pricing of Electricity: An Applied Approach.' The purpose of this study is to provide a practical guide for the analysis of the marginal cost structure of electric utilities for the purpose of designing electricity tariffs. The intend- ed audience consists of those who have a working familiarity with electric power systems and who desire a general, but less abstract, discussion of the marginal cost structure of electric power sys- tems than has heretofore been available. The premise states that tariffs which reflect the princi- pal variations in marginal costs are superior to those which do not. A listing of the computer pro- grams appears as Appendix C in the report. The principal purposes of the program package are to organize the data for convenient, low cost determi- nation of marginal cost structure, and to provide a means for rapid testing of the importance of the various inputs to the final results. ..Software De- scription: The system is written in the Fortran IV programming language for implementation on an IBM 370/145 computer using the OS/VS1 version, 4.0 level operating system. 128K bytes of core storage are required to operate the model.

This study documents the nature of leisure homes and identifies the characteristics of their owners along a portion of the St. Lawrence River in north- ern New York State. Leisure homes are numerous in the area; in many river communities they ac- count for a significant portion of the local housing stock. The large number of seasonal dwellings has both economic and environmental impact. The Lisbon, New York shoreline on the St. Lawrence is examined as a case study. The research involves (1) a visual survey, (2) an opinion survey of sea- sonal home users, and (3) an examination of tax rolls. Density, location, and type of leisure homes indicate the general pattern of development and are in some cases related to environmental prob- lems such as shore erosion. The physical condi- tion of both leisure homes and secondary buildings reflects attitudes of users toward their property; conditions vary from good to badly deteriorating. Local tax data are used to determine the relative importance of seasonal homes to the tax base. Suggestions are proposed to aid in finding solu- tions to some of the shore development problems.

This report draws upon three years of field research, in addition to historical research into the conception and early implementation of this fishery, which began in 1 968. The roving creel census, begun in 1 973, was continued in 1974 and 1975 on the Salmon River for obtaining angler data on point of origin, catch, and catch per angler trip. While the economic impact of the Salmon River fishery was obvious in terms of increased business for the recreation service sector in 1974, the first new jobs attributed to the fishery occurred in 1 975. 49 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-264 135/5 PC A04/MF A01 State Univ. of New York Coll. of Environmental Sci- ence and Forestry, Syracuse.

The report discusses the effect of certain variables defined by sign size, height of installation and legend on the driver responses as measured by speed, conflict and queuing parameters. Effects of electronically actuated, directional flashing signs were also evaluated in terms of the above defined responses. The experiment was conducted at four locations within the state on two-lane and Inter- state systems requiring single lane closures during maintenance. The conclusions that follow are based on the analysis and evaluation of the var- ious responses using the analysis-of-variance pro- cedure. (1) The speed decrease at two-lane loca- tions was greater for the 30-inch (0.762 m) signs than either the 36-inch (0.914 m) or the 48-inch (1 .22 m) signs. (2) At Interstate locations, the 36- inch (0.914 m) signs yielded better overall re- sponse than the corresponding 30-inch (0.762 m) signs. (3) The height of sign installation and sign legend did not indicate any statistical difference in the measured responses. (4) Sequencing accumu- lative bidirectional chevrons greatly enhanced the obedience of the driver to warning signs. PB-264 378/1 PC A03/MF A01 Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation, Madison.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation initi- ated a statewide study in 1975 to learn of the supply of, and demand for, transportation services for the elderly and handicapped in Wisconsin. The Department identified nursing homes and residen- tial care facilities as significant providers of para- transit services to the elderly and the handi- capped. This report presents the findings of a transportation-oriented survey of nursing homes and residential care facilities conducted in January 1976. This survey involved the mailing out of a questionnaire to 506 licensed nursing homes and 33 residential care facilities not affiliated with nurs- ing homes. The purpose of this survey is (1) to obtain an overview of transportation services pro- vided by nursing homes and residential care facili- ties, and (2) to augment the data obtained from the full paratransit industry survey.

This new economic activity, with population in-mi- gration and greater demand for public services, will generate a need for more government revenues. Increased use of mineral taxation is one way of fi- nancing the new services without increasing the tax burden on the area's existing residents. Four mineral taxes-ad valorem, severance, gross pro- duction, and net production-are described and evaluated. Taxes are compared on the basis of ease of administration, social justice, consistency with national economic goals, and revenue ade- quacy. Some states have enacted special pro- grams designed to ease the front end problem. Programs in Montana, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming are discussed but not evaluated.

It is intended as a first cut at the problem of how to apportion the revenues and the burdens which would exist if an energy park were to become a reality. Many of the problems which it explores apply equally to facilities in the energy field and elsewhere which are smaller than the nu- clear park.

The concept of van- pools is introduced and benefits to management and employees are identified. Among these are re- duced needs for parking, reduced traffic conges- tion, lower commuting costs and conveniences. Employer concerns about vanpool implementation are discussed, such as legal aspects and insur- ance costs. In Virginia there are no serious legal problems to prevent vanpooling. Experience with vanpools elsewhere in the U.S. indicate that meth- ods for managing and operating programs differ from one company to another although the basic concept is similar to that selected by the 3M Com- pany in its pioneering effort.

The requirements and affects of the combined treatment of industrial and domestic wastewaters were investigated for the Buffalo Sewer Authority's sewerage system. A comprehensive industrial waste survey was performed to obtain the required background information on industrial discharges. This coupled with material balances on the sewer- age system provided the data necessary to devel- op industrial waste control and cost recovery pro- grams. The industrial waste control program for Buffalo included revised sewer use regulations coupled with a permit system and monitoring pro- gram. A combination of ad valorem tax and wastewater service charges, based on waste strength and volume were used to recover the cost of treatment. An economic evaluation of the cost recovery and industrial waste control programs on the industrial users was performed. A 95,000 liter/ day activated sludge pilot study was conducted to evaluate the affects that industrial users will have on the treatment processes. PB-264 992/9 PC A17/MF A01 New Orleans Univ., La.

A development corporation that offered special- ized services to attract industry and halt an outmi- gration of businesses has helped to create new jobs in Hartford, Connecticut. The corporation was established with financial assistance from the Eco- nomic Development Administration. The report said, Hartford's nationally known industrial com- plex had diminished by some 34 percent... its tax base eroded and a major portion of its residents were suffering from chronic unemployment. A de- cision was made in favor of direct intervention to stem the industrial erosion the report adds, and the corporation was on its way with a program offering a variety of services. Hartford has an advantage in that it has both the impetus of present achieve- ments and the initiative to move into new and broader areas of activity. 54 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-265 207/ 1 PC A02/ M F A0 1 Labor-Management Relations Service, Washing- ton, D.C.

Keywords: "Rapid transit railways, "Disadvan- taged groups, Urban sociology, Elderly persons, Handicapped persons, Minority groups, Income, Public opinion, Urban planning, California, Bay Area rapid transit, San Francisco(California). Who are the transportation disadvantaged. The author proposes the definition ~ those groups whose same opportunities for development have been hindered, either by omission or commission, by deficiencies in the transportation system. He then asks the question of whether those condi- tions which make an individual disadvantaged within the general societal context are the same conditions which make one transportation disad- vantaged. He discusses income, disability, place of residence and place of employment, automobile accessibility, race, sex, and age as factors which may contribute to transportation disadvantage. The author concludes that only a tenuous case at best can be made that the poor, minorities, handi- capped, elderly, women, and youth are really 'transportation disadvantaged', but that these groups have certain general disadvantages vis-a- vis society which make them of special concern, in an equity sense, in planning a transportation system.

The labor component of the transit industry in the United States has a pervasive impact on the indus- try. Labor compensation is the major operating cost element in most transit activities and com- prised approximately 65 percent of the industry's operating expenses in 1974. In addition to its cost significance, transit labor, through its bargaining patterns and work agreements influence such mat- ters as service continuity and productivity. The study examines the labor component of the transit industry to provide an understanding of this matter which might be useful in developing future policies and programs. Among the matters examined are employment and compensation trends, labor/ management relations, government involvement in transit labor, and employee productivity.

In the SCI project, the targets of inquiry are twenty standing committees- those with jurisdiction over the policy domains of education, natural resources, and energy. First, the authors explore an aspect that has significant ef- fects on the interaction process-the divergence between legislator and staff roles. Second, the au- thors describe what committees mainly need from staff and how staff generally responds. Committee needs and staff tasks involve procedural informa- tion much more than policy information. Most com- mittee demand and most staff effort concern infor- mation of an essentially procedural nature, requir- ing activities such as drafting, scheduling, summa- rizing, assembling, briefing, reporting, enacting, and servicing. Third, the authors identify seven types of factors, all relating to the improvement of staff-committee interaction-linkage, structure, proximity, relevance, attention, repetition, and rein- forcement.

The influence of central city radial freeways on manufacturing development is explored in ten study areas located in 8 central cities of the North- east and Southeast. Radial freeway influence is found to be positive in (1) revitalizing existing, de- clining central city industrial areas; (2) strengthen- ing existing, stable industrial areas; and (3) devel- oping new industrial areas. The 264 manufacturing firms located in the study areas employed more than 36,700 workers, generated nearly $6.8 million in local tax revenues and an estimated $231 mil- lion in annual wages. No major negative environ- mental impacts were identified beyond those nor- mally associated with urban development or beyond the scope of contemporary performance standards. Operating characteristics of the sample firms showed them to be central city-oriented, given the presence of the nearby freeway. Open- ended interview results demonstrated that most manufacturing location decisions were based on one to three of six critical factors; availability of space, price of space, access to sales, labor, and supplies, and the presence of the freeway itself.

The report presents an analysis of agency support- ive services intended to help participants meet the requirements of the housing allowance program and make better use of their subsidy. The report investigates the effect of both formal services (in- formation sessions) and responsive services (made available as problems arise) such as trans- portation to search for a new unit, assistance in negotiating lease provisions or repairs with land- lords, legal advice or representation, and agency intervention to prevent eviction. The eight agen- cies developed a range of approaches to service delivery. Services were found to hp most effective in helping enrollees qualify as recipients, especial- ly in more restricted housing markets. Within such markets, a high level of responsive services made an important difference in the qualifying rate for households that attempted to move and for black households, whether or not they attempted to move.

The report documents the results of administrative changes introduced during Jacksonville's second enrollment period in the Administrative Agency Ex- periment. The agency succeeded in obtaining its target number of recipients, and the proportion of enrollees who became recipients rose from 33 per- cent to 50 percent. Black enrollees, however con- tinued to be less successful than whites. Much of the problem can be attributed to housing market conditions, combined with a rigorously enforced housing standard and a low level of supportive services to enrollees. Attempts were made to reduce supplier resistance to the program, but these efforts appeared to have little effect on pro- gram results.

The report provides a review of the administrative costs of the eight agencies of the Administrative Agency Experiment during the first two years of the program's operations. Since HUD permitted vari- ation in program design and operation within broad federal guidelines, administrative costs varied across agencies. The report discusses these actual cost variations and pinpoints where policy decisions are likely to affect administrative costs. The report distinguishes direct costs, such as intake (incurred to bring households into the pro- gram) attrition (when those who apply do not become allowance recipients) and maintenance (to provide ongoing services to recipients) from in- direct costs, such as overhead, recordkeeping, and office space. Several areas where policy deci- sions might influence costs are identified. PB-265 685/8 PC A07/MF A01 Abt Associates, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.

The report describes the experiences of elderly participants in an experimental housing allowance program under which monthly payments were made to participants to help pay the rent on decent housing of their own choice. Overall, the similari- ties between the elderly and nonelderly partici- pants were more striking than the differences- they both were able to find acceptable quality housing, reduce crowded housing conditions, im- prove their neighborhood quality, and reduce their rent burdens. However, elderly households applied to the program at substantially lower rates than the nonelderly; specially targeted outreach seems necessary to reach this group. Once selected for participation, fewer elderly households had to move to meet housing quality standards and, once enrolled, they terminated from the program less often than the nonelderly. Special services were available to help participants, but except for some individual cases, the elderly did not require any more extensive help than the nonelderly.

The report presents an examination of the house- hold eligibility criteria and procedures used in the Administrative Agency Experiment. Across agen- cies, a median of 8 percent of all applicants were found ineligible after screening and certification and slightly less than half of these applicants were ineligible because their income exceeded program limits. Certification resulted in changes in house- hold size data in only about 5 percent of all cases, although in general the agencies were not strin- gent in certifying household size data. Income data frequently changed as a result of certification; overall, changes were recorded in 51 percent of the cases. Documentation or verification by third- party sources resulted in more changes in income data than self-declaration by the participant. The longer the interval between application and certifi- cation, the more often a change was recorded; time was the factor most consistently associated with changes of income and household size.

This study examines the role that the city of Durham, North Carolina should take concerning rate cases of the telephone, electric, gas, and tran- sit utilities serving the Durham community. After examining the various arguments that the City could pursue when intervening in general rate cases, it is recommended that Durham intervene in all rate cases involving the four utilities which serve the area. The study identifies those arguments (pertaining to areas such as cost of capital, rate structure, and quality of service) which should be made in each case and suggests strategies for presenting those arguments. Some other sugges- tions are offered concerning coordinating Dur- ham's intervention activities with those of the At- torney General and those of other municipalities. Since transit regulation takes a different form from that of electric, telephone, and gas utility regula- tion, intervention in transit cases is considered separately.

The report summarizes findings from existing social scientific studies of energy conservation atti- tudes and behavior, which in general show that the American public has thus far adopted only minimal conservation practices. It analyzes six strategies for implementing energy conservation programs, and concludes that informational and persuasive techniques are relatively worthless, that pricing and incentives can be quite effective for altering specific practices, and that governmental regula- tion and guidance can produce more extensive changes in energy consumption. Several possible social implications of energy conservation are ex- amined, including quality of social life, socioeco- nomic equity, and the development of a conserva- tion ethic, all of which could be affected by exten- sive energy conservation programs.

Keywords: 'Federal assistance programs, 'Hous- ing studies, Inspection, Standards, Specialized training, Low income groups, Allowances, 'Hous- ing allowance programs, Public assistance, Hous- ing characteristics. The report provides a detailed analysis of agency inspection procedures used to administer the housing standards requirement in the Administra- tive Agency Experiment. The standards developed by the agencies differed considerably in the number and nature of items included, and in the measurement of particular housing attributes. To administer the standard, the agencies used profes- sional inspectors, specially trained staff members or the participants themselves to inspect units. Professional inspectors were the most effective. Staff members were found to be effective if they received extensive training and had no other re- sponsibilities. The more training they received, the greater their similarity to the professional. Partici- pant inspection proved lease effective, although the estimated cost was about one-third of that for the other types of inspection.

In 1973 the Department of Defense closed the Boston Naval Shipyard, including the South Boston Naval Annex. The shipyard and naval real estate was equal to one third of the existing heavy industrial real estate in Boston. 3,700 blue-collar jobs were eliminated in the Boston area which al- ready had a 12 percent blue-collar unemployment rate. To help ease the adverse economic impact of this abrupt closure activity, the city of Boston sought funds from the Economic Development Ad- ministration to study reuse alternatives for the site. This report states the results of a technical assist- ance grant. The report gives the number of new jobs created by the Federal Government invest- ment as well as a useful benefit/cost analysis of the projects proposed for development.

The report presents a successful, relatively inex- pensive environmental noise assessment of the metropolitan area of Grand Prairie, Texas. The methodology included use of the readily available Type-2 sound level meter which is simple enough to be operated by a layman. Readings from the sound level meter were made every 10 seconds and recorded manually on data sheets. A separate data sheet was used for each hour in order to ob- serve the changes in noise levels at various times of day. This and previous studies have demon- strated that this methodology is sufficient for the purpose of community noise surveys to assist local planning. Noise measurements were made at eight locations; several sites were located near suspect- ed major sources of noise namely, the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Dallas Naval Air Station, and LTV Aerospace Corp. Environmental noise exposure in one portion of the city appears to present a possi- ble risk of permanent hearing damage, and an- other portion of the city experiences noise expo- sure high enough to be unsuitable for residential development.

This study analyzes the vanpool market and dem- onstrates that, for operations with 30 or more vans, returns on invested capital can be high. This is due to high leverage provided by borrowing or leasing vans and the little downside risk to investment cap- ital because vans maintain a high resale value. Therefore, this study concludes, the opportunity is great for more investment capital supplied by third party, independent vanpool operations to compete for a share of the market currently dominated by company-sponsored vanpools.

The hy- pothesis being examined is to determine if newly emerging programs can significantly benefit by 'piggybacking' on the efforts of a similar program which has already been through the start-up proc- ess. The concept of 'networking' is the process of interchange and implementation of technical infor- mation and successful technology-based pro- grams between established centers for technology transfer. This is a tremendously cost-effective con- cept in that several states can capitalize on the single R&D investment of one program.

The city of Fort Valley, Georgia was awarded an Economic Development Assistance grant under Title IX of the Public Works and Economic Devel- opment Act, the funds to be used to combat the problems of economic dislocation caused by a dis- astrous tornado in February 1975. Damage and destruction to businesses caused a pronounced increase in unemployment and an overall down- turn in the county's economy. The grant proposal was to develop a comprehensive redevelopment program for the Central Business District of Fort Valley and to provide technical assistance serv- ices to insure implementation of the redevelop- ment plans. The scope of this project was to devel- op a framework for redevelopment activities which would provide short-term needs and the long- range goals of the community.

In this report an examination of ap- propriate literature and existing standards reveals preliminary requirements of function and desirable qualities for such motorist warnings. A considera- tion of relevant lighting technology shows that sig- nificant improvement is possible through the use of xenon flashlamps in standard crossing mountings. This study includes a discussion of optimal specifi- cations, relevant technology, field tests, and relat- ed topics including system credibility and the use of highway traffic signals.

Enclosed-lens sheeting used in the past, is shorter-lived and less bright than buttons; recently introduced encapsulated-lens sheeting is a serious contender to buttons in this application. This study was undertaken to determine button copy service life on New York's highways. The findings showed (1) that button copy provides ac- ceptable brightness for about 12 years, (2) by 12 years nearly all buttons have cracked to some degree, resulting in reduced brightness, (3) clear- coating, found on 10 percent of the buttons, causes an unacceptable loss of brightness, (4) de- terioration of copy frames was usually slight and did not impair daytime legibility, (5) sign directional orientation did not appear to affect service life, (6) dirt accumulation and its effects on brightness were negligible, and (7) at high angularity button reflectivity was less sensitive to age.

The procedures for allocation of funds to the 50 state governments, the District of Columbia, and more than 38,000 local governments under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, are described. The procedure used to determine the amount allocated to states involves two different formulas-the three-factor Senate formula and the five-factor House formula. One-third of the state's entitlement is allocated to the state government and the remaining two-thirds is available for distri- bution to all units of local governments within the state. The local share is divided by the sum of the populations of all county areas within the state; the quotient is called the per capita local share. Spe- cial formulas for allocation are drawn for the States of Alaska and Connecticut because there is no county government in either of these states. Allo- cation procedures differ also for Alaska and Hawaii under noncontiguous states entitlement. PB-267 067/7 PC A04/MF A01 Westat, Inc., Rockville, Md. Research Div.

The paper summarizes a 48-month study compar- ing two methods of financing and organizing the delivery of health services to a near-poor popula- tion of over 8,500 individuals. The first method, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound (GH), is a well-established, consumer-operated, prepaid group practice with over 200,000 members. The second method of financing and organization is a combination of King County Medical/Blue Shield and Blue Cross of Washington and Alaska (KCM/ BC) serving as fiscal intermediaries for this project. This combined plan includes virtually all non-GH, non-federal practicing physicians and hospitals in the Seattle area. The study population consists of all enrollees of the Seattle Prepaid Health Care Project. The study period encompasses four years, ending January 31, 1975. This summary highlights the major methods and findings of the research which has been reported in six separately bound chapters. The report chapters are: Introduction to the project, the study, and the enrollees; utilization: ambulatory and hospital; comparative costs of services; quality of care; access to care and pa- tient satisfaction; and integrative analysis based on episodes of care for hypertension and diabetes.

This report is one of a series as- sessing the impacts of BART on transportation and travel in the Bay Area. The report documents what changes in aggregate highway traffic vol- umes, traffic congestion, bus ridership, and bus services have taken place in the four years since BART started service; and assesses the extent to which these changes may be attributable to BART.

This report discusses the current state of a debate on relative regional welfare. The authors present three propositions: (1) data do not support the view that the economic problems of one region are more serious than those of another; (2) states within regions exhibit as wide a range of variation in the nature and dimensions of their economic problems as the regions themselves; and (3) un- employment is more serious in the North while poverty is the primary problem in the South. The authors argue that the rate of growth of the econo- my, the lack of a U.S. regional development policy, and the small percentage of Federal Government expenditures spent on regional economic develop- ment problems are more important than the alloca- tion issues. They conclude that a strong case can be made for new Federal development monies being allocated to the North and that the existing regional coalitions could be allies rather than ad- versaries in the current debate over regional devel- opment funds and policies.

In addressing transportation considerations in rural development, an effort has been made to highlight some of the major areas of difficulty associated with the provision of an adequate transportation system to facilitate growth in nonmetropolitan areas. Transportation is a very necessary condi- tion for rural development, but an adequate trans- portation infrastructure is not sufficient for that de- velopment to take place.

The report provides background material on finan- cial and operating characteristics of community water systems prior to implementation of primary drinking water regulations. The study is based upon a survey of almost 1000 community water systems serving from 25 to over 1 million year round residents. Stratified sampling was made by system size on the basis of location, ownership, and primary water source. Results are presented in terms of average and median values by size cat- egory, ownership, and water source. General pat- terns indicate economies of scale. Majority (two- thirds) of capital expenditures are financed through external sources, most by debt. Although there are more systems using ground water rather than surface water as their primary source, a higher portion of the total water produced is from surface sources. Disinfection is the only treatment commonly used by systems of all sizes. PB-268 057/7 PC A03/MF A01 Maryland Dept. of Housing and Community Devel- opment, Baltimore. Div. of Planning.

The report summarizes findings documented in nine case studies on current uses and results of CETA Title 1 Special Grants to Governors. Con- tents include: (1) Assessment of SMSC activities under CETA Sec. 107; use of 1 % grants for SMSC support; (2) identification of state manpower serv- ices authorized under CETA Sec. 1 06 and support- ed by 4% special grants; (3) analysis of planning 67 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT procedures, program activities, and results of CETA Sec. 112 funds (5% grants) for statewide vocational education services. The report finds that while state sponsors and SMSCs have shown progress in CETA's first two years, they continue to experience difficulty in performing the full range of duties under Sec. 107. Activities funded with 4% grants are generally consistent with those permit- ted under Sec. 106, although emphasis has been on serving certain target groups rather than on solving functional problems of statewide coordina- tion. Sec. 112 grants, however, had few apparent plusses, and generally diverted attention from sub- stantive training issues to the convoluted mechan- ics of grant administration. The study concludes that CETA, as presently written, may make unreal- istic expectations of states and governors. The report also suggests alternatives for consideration by national policy and program officials. PB-268 257/3 PC A06/MF A01 Vermont Office on Aging, Montpelier. State Plan on Aging for Vermont.

In the past few years, as a result of activity at both the state and national levels, much attention has been focused on county government in Kentucky. In 1972 the General Assembly enacted a county 'home rule' act, expanding the legislative power of the state's 120 counties. Later that same year, Congress initiated federal revenue sharing for local governments, including counties. A 1975 amendment to Kentucky's Constitution restruc- tured the state's court system, by which a new system of district courts will replace existing quar- terly courts, magistrates' courts and county courts as judicial bodies.

During three public hearings in Los Angeles, Oak- land, and San Diego, the subcommittee learned that the state hospital population, which was steadily declining during the past few years, is now increasing. The implications are clear. As the pop- ulation goes up, the hospital wards become more crowded, staff services are diluted, and the quality of care deteriorates. According to the latest esti- mates of the Department of Health, the state hos- pitals for the developmentally disabled should be caring for only about 7,000 people. They now con- tain over 10,000 and because of some weakness- es in the community system, more people are being forced to be placed inappropriately into the hospitals every day. Today the committee is focus- ing on two issues: the Governor's proposed budget for next year, and what is happening to the money appropriated for this year's program.

Use of groundwater as a source for domestic water supplies has risen sharply. The quality of such waters, the relative ease with which it can be developed, and its seemingly endless supply have attracted increased municipal use. Boise uses groundwater exclusively for its domestic water supply. However, little is known about the aquifer or the effects of high volume production on the groundwater system. The aquifer appears capable of meeting Boise's domestic water needs but questions remain concerning aquifer capacity and how long it will be capable of supplying Boise's do- mestic water needs.

Both plans were put forward with little sense of the real choices implicit in the selection of the specific plan, both met with criticism, and the sponsors of both bills withdrew their support before the debate was over. The fundamental failure of welfare reform proposals to deal with conflicts and trade- offs among alternative programs is illustrated.

The facility was operated primarily to determine the benefits that might be derived from the addition of potable water treat- ment plant waste sludges to these excess flows since unpublished laboratory work conducted elsewhere had indicated potential benefits in terms of better suspended solids and BOD5 removals than would result from sedimentation alone. The results showed no benefit from the addition of po- table water treatment plant waste sludges to these artificial flows, but the few times the plant operated on genuinely occurring excess flows, possible benefits were observed.

This synopsis gives the individual views of the panel members relating to the basic issues and framework for improvements of the Federal/State process for licensing of nuclear power stations, as- sociated facilities, transmission lines, reprocessing of fuel and uranium enrichment. The panel con- cluded that the need for power should be deter- mined by the States. The panel believed that: (1) a national energy policy is necessary to enable plan- ning based on the predictable and certain princi- ples; (2) caution should be exercised in regional review of electric system plans and alternatives; (3) early disclosure of plans involving sites and rights-of-way are necessary; (4) there should be a higher level of State activity; (5) there should be technical assistance to the States; (6) industry should continue in a strong role; (7) radiation health and safety issues should be retained under NRC control; (8) there should be advanced certifi- cation of environmentally suitable sites; (9) one- stop licensing at the State and Federal level is de- sirable. The five NRC scenarios were evaluated in terms of regulatory effectiveness. PB-269 421/4 PC A05/MF A01 Vermont State Planning Office, Montpelier. Vermont's Land Use and Development Law.

In 1970 the Governor of Maryland agreed to intro- duce legislation to financially assist the private col- leges and universities in Maryland. Since 1970, the financial problems of private institutions have con- tinued to grow. These developments, among others, prompted the Council to suggest that a committee to study private higher education, chaired by a Council member and staffed by the Council, be formed study the problems of the pri- vate colleges and universities and to examine ways in which the State could assist these institu- tions. In summary, the three principal sources of information used by the Committee to prepare this document were: the survey of educational charac- teristics and plans, the survey of the financial his- tory of each institution and its financial prospects, and the information provided orally and in writing by each president.

Keywords: "Budgeting, "State government, Meth- odology, States(United States), Systems analysis, Evaluation, Planning, Project control, Surveys, "Zero base budgeting. Zero-base budgeting (ZBB) is a concept which has recently captured considerable attention in fiscal and legislative circles. It is attractive to business and government alike. 'Zero-base' is easy to pic- ture. To the taxpayer, the idea of starting from nothing lends fuel to the fervent hope that govern- mental expenditures can be cut. ZBB has been around for several years. However, its increasing attraction to governmental executives and legisla- tors in the past two years can be attributed to at least two factors. One was the fiscal crisis in many state and local governments resulting from the impact of the sharp recession of 1974-75. Another was the catapulting into the national political scene of Jimmy Carter, a former Governor of Georgia, who as a candidate for President announced the intention of utilizing zero-base budgeting in the fed- eral budget process. The Georgia ZBB system, in- stalled in 1971 during the Governor's first year in office, has been institutionalized, with periodic revi- sions, as the basic budget system of the State. The national attention now brought to the concept promises to result in further installations of ZBB or variations of it. PB-269 571/6 PC A05/MF A01 North Dakota State Univ., Fargo.

Also it sur- veys the approaches actually being adopted in a cross section of the states. The possible regula- tory approaches described vary from no regulation to comprehensive regulation covering entry, fares, service, safety, insurance, and competition with other operators and other modes. The arguments pro and con are found to center on the question of protection of pre-existing conventional transit op- erators. The survey results (from a 12 state survey undertaken in cooperation with the Federal Energy Administration and the Federal Highway Adminis- tration) indicate that carpools are not regulated in any state while subscription buses are regulated as common or contract carriers in 11 of the 12. The situation with respect to vans is varied with four states not regulating any vanpools four states regulating all types of vanpools and the remainder regulating some types of vanpools, generally those operated by third parties. The general trend is found to be toward de-regulation with all four of the states not regulating vans adopting this stance since 1973. PB-269 580/7 PC A02/MF A01 Oregon Univ., Eugene.

Americans 65 years of age or older are estimated to make up 10 percent of the population. By the end of the century, it is projected that they will con- stitute 20 percent. A stereotype of the elderly as individuals in failing health and incompetent is a gross error. The majority of our senior citizens are healthy and vital persons who desire to be active. Yet, one half of them are forced into retirement at 65. How to utilize this wasted talent and honor our commitment to provide support for them when needed are questions that challenge state govern- ments now and will continue to do so in the years to come.

The Massachusetts racing industry is a major in- dustry and a significant source of state revenues. In 1975, the income to the Commonwealth from the industry was nearly thirty-five million dollars, up from twenty-five million in 1970. This growth has been brought about by rising income levels of fans and by a variety of policies ranging from increasing racing days, to introducing Sunday racing, to in- creasing takeout. However, at this point, it seems that these historical growth policies have been very nearly expended. Both industry, purse, and state revenues from pari-mutuel wagering now seem to be up against the geographical market size constraint established by the number of fans within reasonable distances of the tracks. One means of overcoming the traditional market size constraint is through off-track betting. In this scheme, potential fans living far from the track or fans having difficulty traveling to the track can place bets in local off-track betting parlors. The report discusses these operations.

In this working paper published in 1975 by the Col- lege of Education Center on Human Development of the University of Oregon, the author questions the assumption that community alternative resi- dential facilities for the mentally retarded serve to destigmatize the individual and reintegrate him into the community. The literature on the sociology of deviance is examined, and mental retardation is defined from a deviance perspective. The possibil- ity is raised that residence in a group home rein- forces, rather than reverses the stigma and stig- matized behavior of mental retardation. The author calls for research on the perceptions of the retard- ed individual, and study of the dynamics of group home living. PB-269 919/7 PC A06/MF A01 Welfare Research Inc., Albany, N.Y.

The project, now in progress, has accepted for service 100 children with severe mental, physical, or emotional problems, and the evaluators are comparing the results of treatment, with results for 100 children treated in the pre-existing system. The psycho-social evaluation unit, the placement exchange, and the placement review were set up as operational components to deal with general problems of intake diagnoses, service vacancies, and appropriateness of project placements. An Office of Resource Mobilization was created to consider ideas for new service possibilities.

A study was performed for the Office of the Secre- tary of the U.S. Department of Transportation to determine if construction costs and operating energy requirements of future high-performance underground rail mass-rapid-transit systems can be decreased while maintaining or improving serv- ice. The alternative design approaches studied were limited to well-established design concepts which differ from those used in the BART (San Francisco), WMATA (Washington, D.C.) and MARTA (Atlanta) systems. They include: gravity assist; over/under tunnels; over/under and short stations; various subway train propulsion configu- rations; and optimized operational control policies. Comparisons were made of several system de- signs for a specific route and patronage structure. These comparisons indicate that it is practical to significantly reduce construction costs and oper- ational energy requirements of modern under- ground systems while improving service by incor- porating alternative concepts. Without any attempt at optimization, savings in capital costs in excess of 24% and savings in energy as high as 70% in traction effort and 88% in braking are shown to be achievable.

Keywords: "Rapid transit railways, "Urban trans- portation, Highway bridges, Traffic surveys, Travel, California, Bay Area rapid transit, San Francisco(California). Utilizing multiple regression techniques, this paper presents an analysis of the effects of the opening of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) System's transbay crossing on the traffic at two major high- way facilities, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Caldecott Tunnel. Looking at data collected semi-annually since 1965, it was found that there was a sudden shift in trend lines in 1974 after the BART transbay tube was opened. Vehicle volumes dropped, transit patronage jumped, but total person trips in the short run followed roughly the trends of the previous eight years. Transbay vehicle and transit traffic has increased at a more rapid rate since 1974, with mid-day off-peak transit patronage showing a large increase. While an im- portant temporary phenomenon, the 1973-74 in- crease in gasoline prices was not found to contrib- ute much to this sudden change in the long-term trends. BART also caused the removal of a sub- stantial number of buses from the two facilities, ef- fectively increasing their vehicle-handling capacity. This has resulted in higher traffic flow rates during the height of the peak periods. (Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.) PB-270 392/4 PC A04/MF A01 MITRE Corp., McLean, Va.

Keywords: 'Nuclear power plants, 'Water re- sources, 'Licenses, Policies, Site surveys, State government, National government, Regulations. This study was designed to surface state views on water management and permit processes for nu- clear facilities. It was concluded that water plan- ning and management is continuous in the states and when water needs are integrated with other energy facilities plans, there should be no delay from state permit actions. To accomplish this, NRC, other Federal agencies, states and utilities must show plans early, and consult with each other. NRC should solicit from the states water permit needs of facilities as soon as a facility is being considered. Such an action may be the only new coordination needed. States should have the opportunity to involve themselves in the licensing process in specific ways as defined by NRC. This may be through statements developed by the states in conjunction with the NRC licensing proc- ess, or by the A-95 and NEPA Environmental Impact Statement process. In any event, the issues must be resolved to the state's satisfaction in order to prevent delays. Formal processes are not a substitute for early coordination among the parties. States should have final authority in siting. PB-270 467/4 PC A07/MF A01 Stanford Research Inst., Menlo Park, Calif. Transportation in America's Future: Potentials for the Next Half Century. Part 1.

The report describes results of a comprehensive experiment dealing with speed control and driver behavior when approaching and driving through speed zones on a high speed, rural, two-lane high- way. The basic objective of the experiment was to test the range of practical traffic control devices which alert drivers to the need for reducing speed when approaching concentrated areas of popula- tion and invoke voluntary compliance with the speed regulatory devices in a manner promoting increased safety in vehicle operation. Twelve dif- ferent configurations of speed limit signs and warn- ing devices were evaluated. Results showed that active warning signs (i.e., signs with flashing bea- cons activated by vehicles violating the speed reg- ulation) were the most effective for both day and night; during the day, flashing signs (i.e., signs with continuously flashing beacons) appeared to be second in effectiveness; at night, pavement mark- ings and rumble strips appeared to be next in ef- fectiveness.

The recent trend of explosive inflation has dealt measurable blows to the citizens of California. The inflationary spiral has also taken its heavy toll on the homeowner despite the fact that he or she may not buy or sell a home but merely remain in it for shelter. Increased assessments, occasioned pri- marily by inflation are resulting in tax bills that are escalating more rapidly than the average home- owner's ability to pay. Particularly disabled by the blow of inflation, are those citizens who are retired or on fixed incomes or Social Security. PB-271 067/1 PC A08/MF A01 New Orleans Univ., La. Urban Studies Inst.

The question of what to do with 45,700 tons or so of municipal refuse produced by the City of Durham each year has been posed in this study examining the resource recovery potentials from Durham's municipal solid waste. The primary ob- jective of the study, conducted in 1976, was to identify the quantities and composition of munici- pal solid waste in Durham by means of a detailed sampling procedure. A second objective of the study was to examine potential markets for the refuse which might be recovered from recycling or recovery systems. Related aspects of this study in- cluded the legal problems associated with the re- source recovery operations, public opinion of re- source recovery, planning for such facilities and the risks and financing associated with such pro- jects.

Keywords: "Community development, "Financial management, "Accounting, Contracts, Expendi- tures, Project management, Budgeting, Federal assistance programs, Pennsylvania, Allentown(Pennsylvania). The project originated with the desire of city offi- cials to have a more comprehensive accounting and reporting system for the expenditures of Com- munity Development Block Grant funds. The city of Allentown contracts with the Allentown Redevel- opment Authority (ARA) to perform much of its re- habilitation and redevelopment work. Initial re- search showed that the current ARA accounting system was incapable of generating relevant infor- mation for the management of the Community De- velopment Program. In this project, an accounting system geared to facilitate the preparation of monthly and quarterly reports was developed with newly-designed books, records, worksheets and procedures. One recommendation for the new ac- counting system was to make certain that all finan- cial matters be centrally coordinated by one indi- vidual, in this case, the Director of Accounting for the Authority. A second component of the study was a performance reporting and measurement system, to identify progress of work tasks in each functional area.

In response to a state-of-the-art editorial seminar on vocational rehabilitation of the drug user held at Mills College, Oakland, California March 1973, this report described use of a treatment plan for reha- bilitating ex-addicts developed at Beth Israel Medi- cal Center, N.Y. (BIMC), and introduced new direc- tions in the vocational rehabilitation of drug users. A structured interview procedure was developed, called the vocational structured interview form (VSIF). A second tool developed for clinical proce- dures was based on the semantic differential and was used as an attitude scale providing a specific means and vocabulary for describing patients. Group supervision was another component of the treatment plan. Treatment planning was facilitated by integrating the material obtained from these various sources. This structured approach and the emphasis on planning were helpful in working with former addicts, who frequently tried to insist on rapid gratification.

This paper was prepared as part of the Supply Ex- periment, which is a major compenent of the Ex- perimental Housing Allowance Program. The Supply Experiment is designed to test the market and community response to a full-scale housing al- lowance program and to measure mobility patterns of recipient families. During the first year of HUD's experimental housing allowance program in St. Joseph County, Indiana, only 39 enrollees bought homes. Half the purchases were financed by FHA- insured loans-the only institutional financing gen- erally available to low-income households. Some were bought on land contracts, but none were fi- nanced by conventional loans from commercial banks or savings and loan associations. None of the lenders, brokers, or contractors who had dealt with participants thought the program had altered the homeownership market, and views of its ef- fects on the rental market were divided.

Barriers were defined as any governmental laws, regulations, or policies, which in any way place a secondary metal at a competitive disadvantage compared to its primary counterpart. Forty-one barriers were identified and classified as high, medium, or low priority barriers. Five high priority barriers were studied in depth and costs per ton of raw steel or secondary aluminum calculated. Freight rate differentials were found to create a barrier to the use of scrap iron and steel and the use of scrap aluminum. The percentage depletion allowance created a barrier ranging from $1.05 to $3.21 /ton barrier to the use of scrap iron and steel and from $3.06 to $5.74/ton barrier to the use of scrap aluminum. Automobile titling laws created barriers in the six states surveyed. Procurement policies and pollution control requirements were not found to create barriers to the use of second- ary metals. Subsidies to the secondary metals in- dustries were found to result in only negligible in- creases in scrap utilization in the short term, but long term increases in scrap aluminum consump- tion could occur.

As part of a study on utilization of similar benefits, the Urban Institute developed three instruments which have been presented as an appendix to the report (75-04102-003). The instruments are: (1) an initial questionnaire for state rehabilitation agen- cies, directed at the administrative level, (2) a su- pervisor interview schedule and (3) a counselor in- terview schedule. The majority of the items are yes/no questions and four point rating scales; some items ask for thoughts and comments. The subject for the initial questionnaire was the exist- ence and methods of linkages between agencies, the quality and timeliness of services, and clarity in understanding eligibility requirements. The other two schedules inquire about the adequacy and availability of agency resources for counselors, monitoring procedures, staff perceptions of client response, and problems associated with similar benefits utilization.

The report investigates insurance programs for urban transportation construction, including sub- ways, and establishes guidelines by which an au- thority owner can choose the insurance program which best serves the needs dictated by the condi- tions and factors of the specific job. An optimal in- surance program combines lowest costs, highest standards, and most effective administration. There are many possible tradeoffs, thus, the deci- sion is complex. An analysis of insurance pro- grams is presented; e.g , Coordinated and conven- tional, witholding policies, deductibles, liability, Completed Operations Coverage and other possi- ble coverage combinations. Various forms of insur- ance are discussed, as are programs for general construction safety. Innovative variations of Co- ordinated Insurance Programs are explored.

Disinfection of wastewater residuals by electron radiation based on inactivation of enteric viruses was shown to be feasible. Inactivation of enteric viruses found during trials at the High Voltage Re- search Laboratory, MIT, was confirmed in trials with an in-line installed radiation unit at the City of Boston's Municipal Waste Treatment Plant on Deer Island. Radiation doses needed for disinfec- tion were calculated from D sub 10 values deter- mined for test enteric viruses, and natural virus numbers found per unit volume of a wastewater residual. Disinfection of fresh raw sewage was es- timated to require at least 400 kilorads per ml doses, and conceivably as much as 600 kilorads per ml during the summer months, based on peak virus concentrations of 1000 PFU per ml during the summer months. Disinfection during other sea- sons was estimated to require 400 to 450 kilorads per ml. Disinfection of wastewater effluents was estimated to require a maximum of 400 kilorads per gallon. Enhancement of radiation effective- ness was found theoretically possible through acid adjustment of a residual to pH 3.7, or addition of aluminum or ferric chlorides. A method was devel- oped for recovery of test virus from large volumes of digested sludge which permitted recoveries of 50 percent of test virus incorporated into 5 gallon samples.

The work described in this report has two objec- tives: first, to evaluate potential catalysts for the commercial practice of the gasification of chars produced by the pyrolysis of municipal or industrial wastes; second, to determine the potential for syn- thetic fuel production from solid wastes produced in this country, and to explore the feasibility of pro- viding the heat required for the gasification reac- tions by coupling a chemical reactor to a solar col- lector. To meet the first objective, a small scale, fixed bed, flow through reactor was assembled, and a number of potential catalysts were tested on chars from a number of sources. The alkali metal carbonates are superior to any of the catalysts for gasification with both steam and carbon dioxide at 650C. With these catalysts, rates of gasification by steam are increased by factors of two to three, and rates of gasification by carbon dioxide, by factors up to ten. The rates are comparable with those ob- served elsewhere with other carbonaceous materi- als. To meet the second objective, several possi- ble schemes for coupling a solar collector and a gasification reactor are suggested, and economic analyses of the systems are attempted. It is con- cluded that a feasible, economically attractive sys- tems is possible. PB-272 453/2 PC A02/MF A01 National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. Research Applied to National Needs.

This article reprint reports on two research pro- jects, conducted in Florida and in Michigan, de- signed to ascertain the capability of wetlands to absorb partially treated wastewater from municipal facilities. These studies are part of an accumulat- ing body of research that suggests that wetlands are ecological systems that not only can absorb treated effluents while treating them in a natural rather than energy-consuming, artificial way, but can benefit from the fertilization secondarily treat- ed effluents are able to provide. The research sug- gests that as long as the effort is based on under- standing of the wetlands environments, it repre- sents a way that civilized man can return to a sym- biotic relationship with an important part of his nat- ural environment. There is substantial opportunity for small communities which occupy a large part of our geography to take advantage of the results of these experiments. 86 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-272 480/5 PC A09/MF A01 Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc., Canoga Park, Calif.

A prototype swirl degritter was tested by the Metro- politan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. 1. The unit was designed to duplicate the grit removal device needed to degrit the underflow from the proposed swirl concentrator as a combined sewer overflow regulator at Lancaster, Pennsylvania under EPA Grant No. S802219 (formerly 11023 GSC). Degritting is considered in Lancaster to pro- tect pumps and prevent siltation in the interceptor. The 1.8 m (6 ft) diameter device was designed for a flow of 65.6 l/s (1.3 mgd). It was found that under the physical arrangements in Denver, testing with domestic sanitary wastewater, the swirl unit per- formed at slightly less efficiency than the conven- tional aerated grit unit which was operating at less than twice the normal flow-through rate. The char- acteristics of the grit removal from the swirl degrit- ter were excellent and particles of 0.3 mm (.012 in.) were removed. Analyses of grit removal was accomplished with three Chasick sampling units. Blasting sand was added to provide extremely high concentrations of 0.2 mm (.008 in.) particles (lower definition of grit) to duplicate the concentrate from the swirl regulator. It was found that the unit could efficiently remove the small particles at the high concentrations. It was concluded that the degritter could be used for domestic wastewater, combined sewer overflows, or urban stormwater runoff treat- ment. The absence of moving parts in the basic unit and small relative volume 1:10 (compared to conventional grit chambers) may make the unit particularly desirable for many applications. A comparison of the present worth of the cost of construction, operation, and maintenance for a 20 year life indicates that the swirl degritter is from 26 to 38 percent less costly than a conventional aer- ated grit chamber.

The aim of the study was to provide quantitative and qualitative information on the relationship of environmental programs and economic develop- ment for Appalachian New York, to identify critical interrelationships— points of conflict between envi- ronmental management and economic develop- ment objectives as well as complementary condi- tions where objectives are or can be mutually sup- portive. With this information, the Department, state and local agencies concerned with economic development, could seek to make their policies and programs more supportive of each other's goals. The scope of work concentrated upon the assessment of two major environmental programs, air pollution and water pollution control. PB-272 714/7 PC A05/MF A01 Jet Propulsion Lab., Pasadena, Calif.

Keywords: 'Urban transportation, Economic anal- ysis, Energy consumption, Revenue, Vehicles, Electric propulsion, Dual mode transportation sys- tems, Life cycle costs, Guideway transportation. This report represents a more detailed examina- tion of two areas of a previous analysis on a Dual- Mode System as documented in Technical and cost considerations for urban applications of dual- mode transportation' (JPL, May 1972). It uses the technical and cost data of the previous report and employs the life-cycle cost approach. This report consists of two parts plus the Appendices: (1) An economic analysis, and (2) An energy consump- tion analysis. The economic analysis examines the present value life-cycle costs of the system for both public and semi-private ownership and pre- sents the costs in terms of levelized required reve- nue per passenger mile. Two transit modes associ- ated with a high-speed guideway system are in- cluded (pallets and command actuated passenger service (CAPS) vehicles). The energy consumption analysis considers the energy use of the various dual-mode vehicles by means of a detailed vehicle simulation program for the control policy and guideway system as described in the previous study.

GAO identified 114 Federal programs that provide financial assistance for the transportation of people. GAO did not identify any express statutory or regulatory restrictions that specifically prohibit coordination of transportation resources of these programs but did identify a number of hindrances to coordination. The most significant hindrance ap- pears to be confusion at all government levels about the extent of transportation coordination federally funded projects may engage in. The Con- gress should reduce this confusion by endorsing transportation coordination when feasible, provid- ing there is appropriate cost-sharing and cost and service accountability.

Alternative cost recovery options for Federal deep- draft navigation expenditures are investigated and the impacts of user charges on waterborne trades and commodity traffic, both foreign and domestic (Great Lakes and coastwise), are assessed. In ad- dition, the foreign experience in port governance, pricing, and investment policies is examined, in- cluding representative levels of port-use fees. A detailed commodity traffic analysis for petroleum, grain, coal, iron ore, and general cargo has re- vealed that 100-percent recovery of total Federal deep-draft costs by uniform (on vessel or cargo tonnage for example) user charges will not sub- stantially disrupt domestic or foreign waterborne traffic levels or patterns. However, port-specific user charges can significantly affect future port de- velopment and traffic levels in certain smaller and more costly ports, and encourage port consolida- tion. Action by domestic overland carriers, water- borne carriers, and shippers may act to minimize any adverse impacts. For traffic which navigates both inland river and coastal ports, effects of po- tential double (shallow- and deep-draft) user charges are examined. In general, a vessel-based system use-recovery approach will tend to mini- mize impacts across waterborne trades and com- modity flows as well as traffic using both shallow- and deep-draft systems.

One way to reduce automobile-generated air pollu- tion is to encourage core city employees to live closer to their jobs. This study was undertaken to determine the existing air quality of six 1974-1975 EPA Air Quality Control Regions (AQCRs) where adequate center city and suburban monitoring of pollutants was available. The five pollutants meas- ured were: suspended particulates; sulfur dioxide; carbon monoxide; ozone/oxidants; and nitrogen dioxide. A series of comparisons of actual meas- ures of air quality in the center city and suburban locations were made by means of an overall air quality index incorporating the five air pollutants. These comparisons show that center cities more frequently have superior overall air quality. From a limited point of view, this analysis establishes the desirability of downtown residential development. PB-273 050/5 PC A18/MF A01 New Orleans Univ., La. Urban Studies Inst.

The New Orleans metropolitan region, which is comprised of Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany Parishes, is located within the Louisi- ana Coastal Zone. The parishes are presently in various stages of developing coastal zone man- agement (CZM) plans for their areas. In Chapter 1 , a CZM directory of resource persons who may be of assistance in the preparation of local CZM plans is presented. Current coastal activities, uses, and management efforts are discussed in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 projects the amount and location of var- ious categories of land use by parish within the region for the years 1980 and 1985. Chapter 4 de- scribes the processes through which various types of projects are initiated, approved, and carried through to the implementation stage. The types of projects discussed are those that involve extrac- tion of minerals, transportation, and reclamation of wetlands. In Chapter 5, a model for state coastal zone management plans is developed. The exist- ing parish CZM plans are described and compared to the model as well as to the proposed Louisiana Coastal Resources program.

The long- term objective is to provide an efficient system ca- pable of responding to the informational needs of the CZM program from plan development through the management of the coastal resources. The first objectives are concerned with defining user requirements, establishing resource classification systems, developing efficient analysis techniques that incorporate existing data sources and remote sensing, and finally, establishing a suitable presen- tation format. Section 2 of this report presents de- tailed discussions of analysis methodology. The second objective is to employ these techniques and classification systems to collect actual re- source and environmental information.

Given that society wishes to maintain some sort of environmental quality standards, various control mechanisms for the maintenance of such stand- ards must be examined and evaluated on the basis of their economic efficiency, administrative feasi- bility and political acceptability. While effluent standards and effluent taxes have been discussed in considerable detail both in the literature and in Congress, virtually no discussion has taken place on the efficacy of discharge rights. This paper ex- plores how such discharge rights could be defined, how a market could be formed to trade in the rights and how this market would adjust to changing con- ditions over time. Generally, it was found that the idea has considerable merit in the economic effi- ciency vs. administrative feasibility trade-off area relative to other suggested control devices. While its political acceptability remains in question at this time, it was noted that receptivity to new control mechanisms appears fairly high in Washington as witnessed by recent discussions on sulphur taxes and water pollution control taxes.

This report presents the results of a project de- signed to demonstrate and evaluate the effective- ness of an Agency Development Program for local social service agencies. The demonstration proj- ect was conducted by the Michigan Department of Social Services within six of the local agencies under its jurisdiction, for a period of one year within four of the agencies. Two additional agencies served as controls. Criterion data were collected in all six agencies prior to start of the program and after its completion. Criteria were measures of agency climate and of a variety of variables indica- tive of operational effectiveness of the agencies. It was concluded that, when used according to the provided guidance, the Agency Development Pro- gram is a feasible and useful means for improving the work contexts and operations of local service agencies; successful implementation of the pro- 89 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT gram requires considerable effort and some skill on the part of local agency management; adoption of the program should be voluntary; and introduc- tion to the program should be carefully planned.

The 71 -mile Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) System, serving San Francisco, Oakland, Berke- ley, and their suburbs, is the first regional-scale rapid transit system to open in the United States in over 50 years. This report is one of a series as- sessing the impact of BART on transportation and travel in the Bay Area. Travel modes are defined in terms of 14 service attributes including quantifiable attributes such as travel time and cost, and more difficult-to-quantify attributes such as dependability and safety. Disaggregate models which relate mode-choice probability to perceived satisfaction with the alternative modes are estimated using data for the 14 attributes collected by semantic dif- ferential scales. Several different models are esti- mated and compared for BART-bus and BART- auto choices, for work and nonwork trip purposes, for geographic stratifications of the data, and using linear and logit functional forms. The models pro- vide convincing explanations of mode choice be- havior and show that travel time and travel time- related attributes such as dependability and flexi- bility are the dominant determinants of choice. However, large improvements in BART's service are indicated as necessary to increase ridership significantly assuming bus and automobile service levels remain unchanged.

This Final Report is the result of the Task Force's systematic review and public discussion of policy alternatives. The Task Force, assuming from the outset that the public interest demands safety and soundness in mortgage lending, proceeded to ex- amine the role of financial institutions in neighbor- hood preservation and decline. The Task Force re- viewed available literature, the experience of other states, and hearings before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs on the sub- ject. The group also solicited the assistance of neighborhood associations, industry representa- tives, professional appraisal societies, local gov- ernment officials, organized labor, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Detroit N.A.A.C.P. and other organizations. The Task Force also conducted an in-depth statistical analy- sis of mortgage lending activity in Flint to deter- mine the influence of neighborhood factors on the availability of financing.

The authors' present a review of 28 recent plans and studies using the concept of carrying capacity in growth management at the state, regional, or local level. A relevant application is defined as one that looks at effects of urban development upon the natural and manmade environments in terms of system effects, and one that recognizes the possibility for governmental action to effect system capacity in terms of thresholds of development. The authors view carrying capacity as a way of framing relationships between growth, environ- mental quality, public policy, and investment in in- frastructure. They discuss background and evolu- tion of carrying capacity, compare methods and content of current applications, present conclu- sions on the state of the art, and make recommen- dations for further development of carn/ing capac- ity planning.

Under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as expanded by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, flood insurance is made available to flood- prone areas. In addition, new construction and substantial improvements of existing structures must, for most practical purposes, be constructed so as to be flood proof with respect to a 1 00-year flood. Obviously, construction requirements as well as actuarial rates for the flood insurance on structures in a flood-prone area are dependent upon estimates of the flood risk for that area. How- ever, risk estimates can never be completely free of error. The relationship between erroneous esti- mates of flood risk and the economic conse- quences of those errors was analyzed.

A few years ago, many water quality administrators were convinced that large regional sewerage sys- tems, consisting of one large treatment plant and long trunk sewers extending out to various com- munities, represented the only efficient and eco- nomical means of assuring water quality control. In communities favoring rapid development, the pro- vision of sewer service and encouragement of de- velopment of new centers along the trunk sewers offered an additional advantage. More recently quite different points of view are arising in certain areas. In parts of New Jersey strong environmen- tal and community resistance has arisen to pro- posed central plant-trunk sewer systems. The fa- cilitating of new development along the trunk sewers is viewed as a menace by townships which do not want intensive development of these areas. The diversion of effluent flows to trunk sewers rather than septic tanks would dry up the streams which water quality programs are supposed to pro- tect.

The report has considered waterway user charges, which have been proposed as a method of cost recovery of Federal expenditures. The report has examined possible modal carrier and traffic im- pacts due to user charges on the inland river system, and potential differential effects of various cost recovery options. It has found that waterway ton-miles may be reduced by as much as ten per- cent by the recovery of 1 00 percent of annual Fed- eral operating, maintenance, and rehabilitation ex- penditures on rivers through a segment-specific toll. Adjustments to the changes in transportation prices by economic agents such as shippers, carri- ers, and producers should act to lower these traffic impacts over the long term. The report is divided into three volumes. This volume serves as an intro- duction to and summary of the Department of Transportation inland waterway user charge analy- sis. Alternative recovery options are discussed, sample tolls are calculated, and potential impacts of cost recovery on waterway traffic and carrier fi- nances are summarized.

The report has considered waterway user charges, which have been proposed as a method of cost recovery of Federal expenditures. The report has examined possible modal carrier and traffic im- pacts due to user charges on the inland river system, and potential differential effects of various cost recovery options. This volume is a data ap- pendix for the Department of Transportation's analyses of Federal cost recovery on the inland waterways. Tables include toll calculations by river and commodity, and ton-mile loadings for each river segment by commodity and river of origina- tion. This allows determination of the interactions of river segments in each commodity class. PB-273 899/5 PC A12/MF A01 National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C.

This 1977 Report to the Legislature was devel- oped for two purposes. The first purpose is to meet the requirement in SB 744 (Chapter 1 128, Welfare and Institutions Code) which directs the Office of Alcoholism to annually report to the Legislature re- garding the progress on implementation of the pro- gram, its effectiveness, the amount and source of 94 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT funds expended under the program, and the extent to which the misuse of alcohol and the gravity of alcoholism in California have increased or les- sened. The second purpose is to go a step further and outline the planned directions of the California Alcoholism Program. In this regard, the Office of Alcoholism proposes both new and modified pro- gram objectives for FY 1977/78. These proposed objectives are presented for review by the Legisla- ture and the public prior to adoption later in the year. PB-274 095/9 PC A02/MF A01 Chicago Univ., III. Center for Urban Studies.

Jul 76, 11p NSF/RA-760527 Grant NSF-AG-352, NSF-GI-32989-A2 Prepared in cooperation with Argonne National Lab., III. Energy and Environmental Systems Div. Keywords: *Air pollution, * Illinois, *Sites, 'Electric power plants, Sulfur dioxide, Combustion products, Industrial wastes, Cost analysis, Land use, Benefit cost analysis, *Fossil fuel power plants, Social im- pacts, Emission factors. This paper presents an analysis of the total social cost, and the trade-offs between generation/trans- mission and air pollution costs, for various types of fossil plants at different sites in Northern Illinois. The analysis identifies the combinations of site, fossil fuel, and sulfur dioxide (S02) control tech- nology that minimize total social costs. Four deci- sion variables were used in the analysis: site, stack height, boiler fuel, and sulfur dioxide emission con- trol method. Results indicate that appropriate hori- zontal and vertical displacement of power plant emissions can minimize the local social costs of power generation and transmission in the Northern Illinois area. Also the environmental damage differ- ential between alternative power plant sites in rural areas is a small percentage (less than 6%) of the total social costs of generating electricity. Forcing power plants to locate more than 60 miles from Chicago in order to reduce air pollution damages would not be an economically desirable air pollu- tion/land use policy, since the added transmission costs would exceed any pollution damage savings.

The purpose of this report is to describe the 1 976 Assessment of Trainable Mentally Retarded (TMR) Students. The instrument used in the as- sessment was developed in 1975 and is based on 99 state-approved objectives. The 1976 assess- ment program included TMR students who were 10-14 years of age, and enrolled in a Florida public school. The students were observed and rated by their teachers on a six-category scale assessing their performance on the 99 objective tasks. A small proportion of the participating TMR school centers were the subject of a follow-up audit study to determine the validity of the assessment results.

The Demand Experiment is designed to test the ways in which allowances for housing are used by the participat- ing families. This report describes the locational choices of movers in the first year of the Demand Experiment. Changes in the neighborhood charac- teristics of households who moved were analyzed with respect to the concentration of low-income households and of minority households within the initial and destination Census tracts. The percep- tions of households in the experiment concerning neighborhood conditions were also utilized in as- sessing neighborhood changes. Maps are pro- vided which show initial locations of enrollees by race and the net changes in patterns of location resulting from moves.

This study consists of a preliminary draft of a much broader and comprehensive analysis of Puerto Rican economic development in the postwar period. Part I reviews the setting, the conventional literature, and other theoretical empirical tradi- tions. Part II treats in detail the historical and counter-historical growth of income, employment, and technology, using two complete models for 1948/53 and 1963 to investigate the 'sources' of disappointing job-creation. Part III calibrates a de- tailed model for 1970, makes projections to 1980, and compares the sensitivity of the economy to al- ternative strategies of import substitution, export substitution, and income redistribution. Conclu- sions speculate on the current crisis in Puerto Rico. PB-274 335/9 PC A06/MF A01 National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C.

Improved procedures are presented for evaluating the contribution of recreation to national economic development. These procedures are to replace those outlined in the Principles and Standards for Planning Water and Related Land Resources. De- sirable criteria for valuation procedures are speci- fied. Variation procedures currently used by feder- al agencies make almost exclusive use of the inter- im unit day value approach, sometimes augmented by point systems. It is recommended, however, that models be developed to predict individual will- ingness-to-pay for many types of recreation as functions of site characteristics, the characteristics of the individual user, the availability of substitute activities and sites, and the location of the individu- al in relation to the resources under study. The total value of the resource would then be a func- tion of these variables, the number of users, and the distribution of users within the market area. These functions may be derived from regional travel cost demand functions or could be explicit willingness-to-pay functions derived from the survey method. Examples of the desired models are provided along with guidelines for their devel- opment and use. PB-274 447/2 PC A06/MF A01 Urban Systems Research and Engineering, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.

The purpose of the study was to examine the ef- fectiveness of audible warning devices (AWD's) on emergency vehicles in terms of aural detectability. Community noise intrusion and opportunities for AWD optimization were also investigated. Mea- surements were made of sirens, automobile inser- tion loss, and human detection performance in real-life and simulated situations. Warning effec- tiveness distances were calculated for three repre- sentative situations: (1) Rural environment with ve- hicle windows closed and radio on; (2) urban envi- ronment with vehicle windows open and radio off; and (3) suburban environment with vehicle win- dows open and radio off. It was concluded that reli- ance on present audible warning devices to warn drivers in traffic is not justified. To be loud enough to warn in all ordinary circumstances, the sound level of audible warning devices would have to be increased greatly - producing intolerable commu- nity noise. Present audible warning devices can be improved; more uniform horizontal forward radi- ation and higher frequency sounds would increase detectability. The analysis procedure can provide the basis for an objective measure of audible warn- ing device performance. PB-274 595/8 PC A03/MF A01 Economic Development Administration, Washing- ton, D.C.

Illinois pollution control agencies have imposed bans on new sewer connections in several parts of the State. The result has been the stimulation of local efforts to plan, build, and overhaul badly over- loaded facilities. Many of the bans imposed be- cause of inadequate capacity have now been lifted, in whole or in part, as a result of responsible and effective local action. In a variety of settings, the strategy of sewer connection bans has been challenged.

The study is about the recent closure of two very large industrial facilities, together comprising almost two million square feet of space and ac- counting for some 4,300 jobs. The City of Com- merce applied for a development grant under the Title IX program to formulate an overall adjustment strategy that would reduce the impact of these trends, focusing on the reuse potential of the men- tioned plant closures. Also like many other urban core manufacturing areas, Commerce is experi- encing a decline in manufacturing employment. In- fluential in this trend is the fact that the City has now virtually reached development capacity and has serious difficulty in accommodating the expan- sion and modernization needs of its manufacturing tenants.

The report summarizes the evaluation of three generations of signal control strategies developed for the Urban Traffic Control Systems (UTCS) pro- gram in Washington, D.C. This research was per- formed in two phases. Phase I of the research con- sisted of an evaluation of four alternatives of first generation control strategies. Phase II of the re- search evaluated the Second and Third Genera- tion Control Strategies. This effort also included a reinvestigation of the most effective First Genera- tion Control Strategies (1GC-TRSP). The First Generation (TRSP) was found to be operationally effective, was the least expensive to apply, and should be given primary consideration for imple- mentation. The results indicate second generation may have applications on arterials, was only slight- ly more costly to implement than 1GC (TRSP), and should undergo further experimentation to ascer- tain its application and effectiveness. Third Gen- eration did not prove effective and requires further development. PB-275 197/2 PC A06/MF A01 Young (Arthur) and Co., Washington, D.C.

The importance of water supply to economic de- velopment was analyzed for the Fort Berthold (North Dakota) and Rosebud Sioux (South Dakota) Reservations. A linear programming model was developed for each Reservation's economy to de- termine the importance of water as a factor of pro- duction. Marginal productivity curves for water were constructed by varying the water supply as- sumed to be available to each Reservation. Both Reservations face substantial legal barriers to the full use of available water supplies. Should the Fort Berthold and Rosebud Sioux Reservations lose key legal contests, the resulting water shortage could limit the value added of their economies to 74 percent and 50 percent of their respective full potentials. Other factors which impede full devel- opment of Reservation resources include lack of financing, jurisdictional uncertainties, land owner- ship patterns, and a shortage of managerial and labor skills. The study offers guidelines for assert- ing water rights and for ameliorating some of the conditions inhibiting development. PB-275 273/1 PC A04/MF A01 Pennsylvania Univ., Philadelphia.

This study devises and tests adjustments to the present revenue sharing formula which limit year to year fluctuations in allocations to individual gov- ernments. The legislative history and the literature of general revenue sharing is reviewed, indicating that present legislation fixes total funding over the five-year life of the program primarily on the per- ceived requirement for a high degree of certainty regarding recipient funding levels. Excessive fluc- tuations in annual allocations to individual govern- ments recorded in this study appear to be in con- flict with this requirement. A criterion is established that year to year fluctuations greater than 10% 101 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT were excessive. Five alternatives to the present formula are examined: (1) limiting upward and downward fluctuations by 10%; (2) limiting down- ward fluctuations only by 10%; (3) limiting down- ward fluctuations by 10% for needy governments only; (4) using an average of the data for the cur- rent and preceding entitlement periods in order to smooth abrupt data changes in computing alloca- tions; and (5) using an average of data for the cur- rent and preceding two entitlement periods to smooth change. Each of these alternatives was tested by applying it to EP4 and EP5 allocations in four states representing regional variations and dif- ferent characteristics.

The plan attempts to provide for the development of an effective occupational safety and health pro- gram for employees of municipal and local govern- ments in the State of Alabama. Two variations of safety organizations and programs are suggested for municipal and local governments. The Wor- chester Plan is considered to be better suited for smaller governmental units because a system based on a committee structure would be easier to organize and maintain. The Occupational Safety and Health Department is recommended for larger municipal and local governments because it re- quires one or more full-time personnel, which only larger organizations can afford, and it must be di- rected by professionally trained people. Either basic organizational structure can work effectively for the same governmental unit and shall not be selected strictly on the basis of number of employ- ees. The selection of a specific program structure should be made only after careful consideration of the costs, personnel, personalities, responsibilities and number of employees involved.

Although the Highway Administration has taken some actions to improve driving environments, these actions do not fully ad- dress the problems GAO found. Accordingly, the Federal Highway Administration needs to develop additional program guidance, provide and promote more training, and strengthen the inspection pro- cedures of its field offices.

A multi-faceted investigation was undertaken to project the impact of offshore nuclear power plants on beach visitation at adjacent beaches. 1 . Relat- ed literature was reviewed concerning human ad- justment to natural hazards, risk-taking behavior, and public attitudes toward nuclear power. 2. Ap- proximately 2400 people were interviewed at beaches in three states with respect to: (a) intend- ed avoidance of beaches near a hypothetical float- ing nuclear plant (FNP), (b) relative importance of proximity to a FNP, when compared to other beach attributes, (c) onshore-offshore preference for coastal nuclear plant location, (d) behavioral impact of NRC licensing of FNP's, (e) relative tour- ism impact of coastal nuclear plant compared to coastal coal-fired plant, (f) public concerns about nuclear safety, (g) public attitudes toward alterna- tive energy sources, (h) public confidence in sources of information about nuclear power, (i) visual impact of a FNP, and (j) knowledge about nuclear power. 3. Four beach areas near currently operating coastal nuclear power plants were stud- ied to assess impacts on tourism resulting from plant construction. Data suggest that proximity of a FNP is less important than other beach attributes in determining beach attractiveness, probably no more than (and perhaps less than) 5% to 10% of current beach patrons would avoid a beach after FNP siting three miles directly offshore, and impact of a FNP would decrease exponentially as dis- tance away increased.

A disturbingly high number of small business failures, low rates of new firm formations, labor market structural and adjustment problems resulting from transitional problems in the regional economy and low rates of capital investment in many Northeastern areas have led to persistently high rates of unemployment in many areas of the Northeast. Two separate surveys serve as the basis for the report: a field survey involving inter- views with 900 business, labor, government, civic, and academic leaders in the Northeast, and a re- search survey of extant knowledge and data on the regional economy.

A continuation and reexamination of the state-of- the-art of storm and combined sewer overflow technology is presented. Essential areas of prog- ress of the stormwater research and development program are keyed to the approach methodology and user assistance tools available, stormwater characterization, and evaluation of control meas- ures. Results of the program are visible through current and ongoing master planning efforts. As- sessment of urban runoff pollution is referenced to the developing national data base, localized through selective monitoring and analysis, and quantified as to potential source and magnitude using techniques ranging from simplified desktop procedures to complex simulation models. Storm- water pollutants are characterized by (1) source potential, (2) discharge characteristics, (3) residual products, and (4) receiving water impacts. Control and corrective measures are separated into non- structural, termed Best Management Practices (BMPs), and structural alternatives. Best Manage- ment Practices focus on source abatement, whereas structural alternates roughly parallel con- ventional wastewater treatment practices of end- of-the-pipe correction. For combined sewer over- flow abatement, increasing degrees of structural control is necessary. Successful program imple- mentation is illustrated for several selected case histories.

Keywords: 'Urban transportation, Services, Elder- ly persons, Handicapped persons, Oregon, 'Tran- sit fares, 'Credit card fare collection, 'Automated billing systems, Portland(Oregon). The fare collection technique studied in this report is that of automated billing, where information on each ride is recorded and a passenger is billed at the end of the month for the ride. Portland, Oregon, was the site chosen for this demonstra- tion; the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TRI-MET) is the operating agency. The report describes the TRI-MET Auto- mated Billing System that has been successfully introduced into service in Portland. TRI-MET is using an automated billing system serving the el- derly and handicapped. Users of the service are issued an encoded credit-card-sized plastic bus pass. Each time a passenger rides the bus the card is inserted in an on-board car reader unit which records the code and other appropriate data on a tape cassette. At the end of each day's oper- ation, data on the cassettes are transmitted to a computer center. Itemized billings and statistical reports are produced monthly. The authors state that the TRI-MET Credit Card Fare Collection is a major step forward in the introduction of cashless systems. PB-275 693/0 PC A06/MF A01 Vermont State Planning Office, Burlington.

Transit performance measures (TPM's) are the values of variables associated with transit perform- ance, with respect to the vehicle, the service, use of the service, the costs of the service, and the social, economic and environmental impacts of the various elements of the physical systems. Urban transportation issues of interest in this study relate to the subvention of tax monies, whether state or federally collected. The main problem addressed is the development of meaningful TPM's for fund- ing allocation. Other problems deal with difficulties in the use of TPM's, once evolved. This report should interest policy-makers dealing with the sub- vention of funds to local transit properties. A case study (CalTrans) is presented that provides a prag- matic feedback to the TPM evaluation presented. The report concludes that the utility of TPM's has been overestimated, particularly with regard to their use in allocating funds to individual transit properties.

Jan 78, 31 p Rept no. ERS-665 Keywords: 'Rural areas, 'Elderly persons, Hous- ing studies, Income, Assets, Transportation, Social services, Social effect, Powell County(Kentucky), Family(Sociological unit). A study conducted in 1 975 shows that many elder- ly households in Powell County had incomes below the national poverty level, particularly households of men and women living alone. Social Security was the most frequently reported source of income, and few households had income-pro- ducing assets. Improving the low household money income situation is likely to involve insuring that transfer payments are raised. Home repair was an important need expressed by many elderly household heads. Because many elderly house- holds have low money incomes and small amounts of liquid assets, some form of special financial as- sistance will be needed if home repairs are to be made. The elderly in the county indicated that transportation was less important than the need for home repairs. While many elderly depended on kin, friends, and neighbors for transportation into town, this existing arrangement might be more ef- fective if a county information and referral system were available to coordinate rides with enlisted volunteers and elderly persons with a serious transportation problem.

The sources of financing for municipal water supply come largely from the private sector but the proportions are shifting heavily to Federal loans and grants, especially for small systems. These small systems have excellent abilities to amortize capital costs of most water supply systems by charging reasonable service fees or prices. Select- ed municipalities may sometimes benefit from direct Federal investments in multiple purpose water control projects by purchasing water supply rights from Federal impoundments. However, this is not a major source of financing generally availa- ble to municipalities. When Federal programs and projects are considered independently of those municipal water supply systems financed without any Federal involvement, the Federal contribution to total project cost is 36 percent Nationally but only 14 percent in the South Atlantic Gulf Region. However, all municipalities-those receiving Feder- al sources of financing and those financing in the private capital markets-must generate repayment funds from pricing the water services to users by levying special assessments or by including provi- sions in general taxing authority sufficient to amor- tize loans and bonded indebtedness over appropri- ate periods of time. Such communities are in great need of pricing and other technical assistance to acquire private sector funds for their water supply systems.

The hypercube system is a computerized planning tool which can be used to evaluate alternative police beat structures and patrol deployment poli- cies. The hypercube computer programs employ information about both the geographic distribution of police called-for-service incidents and field op- erations policies to evaluate patrol beat plans by estimating performance characteristics. Based on a user-specified beat configuration or patrol policy, the hypercube model estimates many field per- formance statistics which can be used to obtain tentative answers to questions of interest to de- partment planners and field commanders. De- signed for police agencies considering the use of hypercube, this report is intended to give a concise overview of the procedures and issues involved in hypercube use. Topics covered include: (1) an overview of the capabilities and limitations of the hypercube system; (2) the benefits of the hyper- cube system; (3) the computer hardware and data processing services needed; (4) the software op- tions available; (5) the costs of using the system; (6) the kinds of data needed; and (7) sources of hypercube materials, training, and technical assist- ance.

The methodology in- cludes the use of a data base composed of infor- 109 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT mation about disability, rehabilitation technology, and related broad characteristics of American so- ciety. Fourteen representative disabilities have been studied in depth in order to arrive at function- ally defined common factors in their limitations of life functioning. Life-functioning limitations have, in turn, been correlated with technological solutions which satisfy, or might satisfy, these needs. This interrelation between life-function needs of the dis- abled and the use of technologies, which forms a rehabilitation subsystem of American society, has then been cast into the context of the entirety of the society in order to determine how rehabilitation works on a broader, more policy-related scale.

Many factors will affect the needs, performance, costs and impacts associated with the Chicago re- gion's transportation system during the next 25 years. The 'ranges' workshops were concerned with selection of variables and definition of ranges of values and covered the following topics: energy, regional economy, technology, financial re- sources, regulatory directions, and societal atti- tudes. The document also contains profiles of the three futures defined by the conference. Each of the three profiles represents a possible outcome of changes in energy availability as defined by the conference. The energy abundant future is charac- terized by price stability for petroleum fuels, no in- crease in the rate of substitution for those fuels, and no change in the substitution of communica- tions for transportation. At the other extreme, the energy scarce future is characterized by a four-fold increase in energy price and a relatively large shift to various other nonpetroleum fuel sources for transportation. The intermediate future defined by the conference is, as expected, somewhere be- tween the two extremes. The products of this, the Chicago region's first experience with exploring the future in a conference setting, should be appli- cable to the long range transportation planning process in the area. While it is apparent that the conference results cannot serve as inputs to fore- casting models, they can color three major as- pects of the planning process: definition of alterna- tive plans, demand estimation and performance testing, and evaluation of alternative plans.

Municipal applications for federal grants to con- struct wastewater treatment works require approv- al by the Environmental Protection Agency. Adop- tion of a system of user charges and industrial cost recovery procedures are two of the prime requi- sites in successful application. These systems must be designed to ensure that all users of feder- ally financed treatment works share in both the capital and the operation and maintenance costs of the facility in a manner proportionate to the extent of their use. This study offers guidelines which, if followed, will enhance favorable review of a grant application by the EPA. It also presents in- dustrial cost recovery procedures and user charge systems that were developed with the goals of pro- viding equity of charge assessment among users and user classes, conformity with prevailing EPA rules and regulations, and simplicity from the view- point of those local officials administratively re- sponsible for systems implementation.

The main objective of this study was to determine if traffic safety materials were effective in reducing the subsequent accident and conviction record of the general driving population. A second objective was to determine the effectiveness of different topics covered by the materials. A third objective was to determine if materials tailored for specific age-sex groups were more effective than nontai- lored materials. The results indicated that the ma- terials were not effective in reducing subsequent six month accident and conviction frequencies. In addition, the results indicated that neither the topic nor the tailoring of the material had any effect on subsequent driving record. Lastly, age and sex of the recipient did not moderate the effect of the ma- terial on subsequent driving records. It was recom- mended that the Department not incorporate these safety materials in any of its ongoing oper- ations. PB-278 201/9 PC A08/MF A01 Community Services Administration, Washington, D.C.

A study to develop and test improved procedures for measuring fire service outcomes and effective- ness was conducted with the aid of nine fire de- partments. The data presented in this report were collected under test conditions and are valid only for assessments of the reliability and precision of the measurement procedures and as illustrations of possible results in sample formats. This project refined or developed procedures for measures of fire size, fire spread, and time to control; measures of saves at the fire scene; measures of fire loss; measures of fire incidence; and measures of fire preventability and inspection effectiveness. In each of these areas, measures and procedures were identified that appeared to have potential usefulness to fire officials. The authors recom- mend that officials examine the descriptions of the procedures and the test results in light of their own local conditions, and then consider collecting some of the measures on a regular basis.

The Supply Experiment is designed to test the market and community response to a full-scale housing al- lowance program and to measure mobility patterns of recipient families. The report analyzes home- owners housing expenses and needs for housing assistance in both sites (Brown County, Wiscon- sin; and St. Joseph County, Indiana) of the Hous- ing Assistance Supply Experiment. Marketwide surveys in both sites provide detailed data on homeowners' cash and noncash housing ex- penses, incomes, and assets. About 60 percent of homeowners earning under $7,000 annually spend over a third of income for housing and over 80 per- cent spend over a fourth. Most needy homeowners are elderly, but many are single parents and young couples with children. Comparisons of site data with less detailed national data suggest that high housing expense burdens are general to the nation. A review of current federal tax laws and housing programs shows that they offer little aid to low-income homeowners. PB-278 317/3 PC A06/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, Calif.

An assessment of the com- pleteness and reliability of data from a survey of the physical characteristics of residential buildings, the properties where they stood, and the immedi- ate neighborhoods of a sample of 4,443 residential properties in St. Joseph County, Indiana (Site II of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment) was made. Outcomes of survey attempts were ac- counted for, and tests were conducted for non-re- sponse bias. Checks were also made for response errors or inconsistencies and for anomalies in the survey instrument or field procedures. Less than 1 percent of the applicable responses were unusa- ble, and only one serious form of nonresponse bias was found - in questions about interior public areas of large apartment buildings. Responses to descriptive questions were found reliable. PB-278 318/1 PC A04/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, Calif. Supply Experiment of the Experimental Hous- ing Allowance Program.

WN-9709-HUD Audit of the Baseline Neighborhood Survey in Site II was con- ducted. The Housing Assistance Supply experi- ment surveyed all neighborhoods in St. Joseph County, Indiana (Site II), between September 1974 and December 1975. The survey consisted of two distinct instruments-one for neighborhood street observation (the NSOB), the other for surveying neighborhood local sources (the NLS). The NSOB recorded the presence or absence of various land uses and rated the quality of residential buildings, public streets, and vacant land. The NLS collected data on access to public facilities, characteristics of streets and highways, air pollution, and school and crime statistics. The audit determined that NSOB data are exceptionally complete and that averaging the quality rating questions should pro- duce useful analytic variables.

The document reports public knowledge, attitudes, and expectations about the experimental housing allowance program during its first two years in Brown County, Wisconsin, and St. Joseph County, Indiana. Public awareness grew rapidly; by the end of the first year more than 80 percent of the households in each site said they had heard of the program. During the period the program also gained solid acceptance, although in St. Joseph County support from landlords declined somewhat from early levels. Most clients ex- pressed satisfaction with the program and its staff, although many would like easier eligibility rules and increased benefits.

Diversion and abuse of legal drugs may be in- volved in as many as 7 out of every 10 drugs re- portedly being abused or resulting in deaths. Most of these drugs are diverted from the dispensing or retail level by practitioners such as physicians and pharmacists. The Drug Enforcement Administra- tion is unable to control retail diversion because of a lack of statutory authority, weak regulatory re- quirements, and inadequate resources. States are not equipped to combat diversion because of shortcomings in legislation, organization, and re- sources. GAO recommends several actions that could reduce such diversion.

In three Brooklyn neighborhoods, the Federal Housing Administration rejected applications for mortgage insurance during the initial screening process because the locations of the properties were considered unacceptable. The rejections were based on outdated surveys, and without making required individual inspections. The Feder- al Housing Administration also inconsistently ap- plied its under-writing criteria in rejecting applica- tions after the initial screening process. GAO be- lieves that, as a result, some applications for mort- gage insurance were rejected which should have received additional consideration.

The objectives of the research project were to es- tablish relationships between traffic performance and accident probability on two-lane rural high- ways; to develop an experimental design for field testing the effectiveness of conventional and novel delineation treatments; to evaluate the effect of selected delineation treatments on traffic per- formance and associated accident probability; and to make recommendations for the design and use of delineation treatments. In the first phase of study, regression analysis was used to correlate delineation-related accident potential to a few sys- tematically derived speed and lateral placement measures. In the second phase of study, additional accident and traffic performance data were col- lected to test the correlation models and to evalu- ate the safety effectiveness of 21 unique delinea- tion systems. Chapters of this Final Technical Report cover the conceptual planning, traffic per- formance studies, accident analyses, and regres- sion modeling of Phase I, plus the experimental design, field studies, model checking, and treat- ment effectiveness evaluations of Phase II. The two most sensitive indicators of hazard were found to be off-center driving and longitudinal changes in lateral placement variance. Recommendations are offered with respect to a generalized delineation evaluation methodology, as well as for the immedi- ate implementation on two-lane rural highways of a 10:30 broken centerline pattern, narrower edge- lines, and the selective use of raised pavement markers and post delineators.

Seven network sites were se- lected and equipped with air quality monitoring equipment and meteorological equipment. The data collected was analyzed in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency reference meth- ods and entered in the Department's data man- agement system. Data collected from these sites has increased the resolution of air dispersion quali- ties and provided necessary background informa- tion on air quality in an area where future energy development facilities are proposed. The addition- al data from the seven new sites, when used in conjunction with data from older sites, allows map- ping of area-wide air quality for total suspended particulates in southwestern North Dakota. The seven additional ambient air monitoring sites pro- vided by this project have significantly increased the Department's capability to assess the impact of future energy conversion facilities on the ambi- ent air quality. This project has shown that site se- lection for ambient air monitoring is crucial in the interpretation of area-wide air quality from pat- terns.

Self retention is a viable means for the City of Lake Charles to deal with rapidly rising insurance costs in certain areas of coverage. There have been suc- cessful applications of self retention techniques by municipalities, yet self retention programs are not a panacea for the City's insurance problems and should not be utilized unless preconditions are sat- isfied and careful consideration given to the pro- grams. The Mayor and City Council must fulfill the first precondition by committing themselves to fully support Risk Management and expressing this support in a Risk Retention Policy. They must also determine if the City is financially capable to absorb sufficient amounts of uninsured losses to make self retention a viable alternative for han- dling risk. The City must implement an internal rec- ordkeeping system and design a safety and loss prevention program. PB-278 854/5 PC A06/MF A01 Florida Univ., Gainesville. Transportation Re- search Center.

City governmental agencies have a need for effective planning before making deci- sions which will impact the residents of the city. One of the questions often asked by city govern- ment officials is 'Is this multiple distribution ap- proach the most efficient and effective means to service the public interest. If not, what alternatives are available and what assessment can be made of the impact socially, cuturally, economically, and legally.' The problem undertaken in this report is one of collection, analysis and presentation of adequate information in a format municipal admin- istrators can review and use to make a determina- tion regarding the efficiency, effectiveness and al- ternatives to the conglomeration of domestic water delivery systems in Boise.

Efficiency and effectiveness of local government programs can only be determined if some explicit mechanism is provided to evaluate programs. If some evaluation mechanism is not provided, the extent of the efficiency or effectiveness of a specif- ic program cannot be known, and therefore, nei- ther the value of past investments can be deter- mined nor plans reasonably laid for future program investments. In reality the problem of program evaluation is not this black and white. Usually ef- forts are made in an unstructured fashion to supply some form of evaluation. This general problem of evaluation has become especially acute with the advent of revenue sharing. In Boise the specific problem is to evaluate the efficiency and/or effec- tiveness of Community Development Act funded programs. 126 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-278 975/8 PC A12/MF A01 International City Management Association, Wash- ington, D.C.

The authors have evaluated their own proposals and others in terms of the actual allocations that would have existed based upon 1970 census data. The preliminary results suggest that on the aver- age this study's formulae provide somewhat more money for the central cities and less for the sur- burbs than does the workforce unemployment poverty formulae embodied in other proposals. Since these formulae are based on economic theory, the results suggest their desirability as for- mulae to be used in the actual allocation of funds.

This book attempts to contribute to a rational solu- tion of the regulatory problems of legal service plans by suggesting regulatory approaches geared to the specific nature and riskiness of the different types of plans, thus providing the optimal combina- tion of protection and flexibility. The various objec- tives and methods of regulation and their rel- evance to the different types of plans are dis- cussed. An analysis of existing rules and their suit- ability for legal service plans is offered. Seven background papers, which form the bulk of the text, are concerned with: (1) special regulatory re- gimes, such as the federal control of employee legal service plans and the treatment of legal serv- ice plans under federal antitrust laws; (2) unique problems of special types of plans, such as legal assistance programs for students and legal bene- fits provided by automobile clubs; and (3) historical and comparative perspectives which the authors feel are indispensable for an assessment of the regulatory needs of a new type of organization still in its formative stage.

The manual guides the user through this impact assessment process by describing EPA policy and regulations governing analysis of these impacts; approaches to refine and improve exist- ing projections of amount, type and location of pro- jected growth in a service area; and the range of potential secondary impacts and alternative ap- proaches for impact assessment. Application of projection and impact assessment approaches are provided for various levels of sophistication, con- sistent with analysis capabilities and available re- sources. The manual also provides EPA Regional Reviewers with a convenient framework for evalu- ating quality of local analyses of secondary im- pacts and an analytic basis for imposing any needed special conditions. This manual is a tool for planners and engineers preparing impact as- sessments; it does not supplant regulations which govern impact assessment processes. The manual considers only secondary impact assess- ment. Measures to mitigate these impacts have not been considered in the manual but should, of course, be implemented where the impact war- rants. Fourteen areas of secondary impacts are covered in the manual, categorized into four groups: Media Impacts (e.g., ambient noise levels); Sensitive Environmental Area Impacts (e.g., flood- plains); Unique Area Impacts (e.g., parklands); and Secondary Economic Impacts (e.g., impacts on property values).

The document provides a detailed analysis of Third-Year Block Grant Applications from appli- cant cities and urban counties in the SCAG region (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and Imperial Counties). Based on the analysis, applicants received approximately 150.7 million dollars in federal funds in 1977, a 39.5% increase over last year's level of funding. Of the ten types of activities receiving funding, Public Works projects ranked first with an allocation of 36.4% of all funds. Housing Rehabilitation ranked second with 19.7% of all funds being allocated to this category. Although applicants emphasized housing-related activities in 1977, federal funding only addresses 3.5% of the regional housing need as identified in the local government Housing As- sistance Plans. By Census tract, applicant budget- ed 50% of their funds to lower income tracts. City and county activity budgets and Housing Assist- ance Plans are shown in the appendices.

Demonstrated is the ability of electrons-energized by accelera- tion in a machine accelerator and injected into a moving layer of the liquid material~to destroy pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites in raw and digested municipal sludges. Studies indicated that effective control of pathogenic organisms in wastewater residuals could be obtained with eco- nomic dosages, and provide the basis for proceed- ing with the engineering and construction of a scaled-up in-line electron treatment facility. A full- scale modular electron research facility was as- sembled. Included are results of other chemical engineering studies related to the observed modifi- cation of electron treated sludges toward lower fil- tration resistance, improved dewatering proper- ties, and clearer effluent. Engineering information useful for the early utilization of energized elec- trons for sludge disinfection is presented. The eco- nomics and energy use in electron treatment of contaminated water and sludge are reported. Sev- eral modes of utilizing electron treatment in the disinfection of municipal sludges are summarized. PB-279 505/2 PC A04/MF A01 New York State Dept. of Transportation, Albany.

Accident records were compiled over a 5-year period (1971-75) to assess performance of lightweight-post guiderail and median barrier, slip- base sign posts, frangible-base luminaire supports, and impact attenuation devices. In 1969, rail mounting heights on New York's barriers were in- creased to 27 in. to the center of the rail element, in an effort to reduce barrier penetration. While this height was not uniformly achieved on the barriers monitored, the results of 392 accidents indicate good performance. Injury rates were very low, with only 8 serious injuries and no fatalities recorded. Penetration occurred in only 4 percent of midsec- tion accidents - a significant reduction over the rate recorded in an earlier study of light-post bar- riers. Barrier length damaged was found to be in- versely related to stiffness, as expected, but bar- rier types differed little in accident repair costs. Based on only 10 accidents, slip-base sign sup- ports appeared to be performing satisfactorily. Per- formance of aluminum frangible-base luminaire supports was also excellent, based on 78 acci- dents. A total of 393 impacts were recorded on four types of attenuators, resulting in only 6 severe injuries and 1 fatality. From the number and types of accidents recorded, it is apparent that attenua- tors have been very successful in reducing the po- tential for serious injuries and fatalities when vehi- cles collide with fixed objects.

The report describes the structure and functioning of a model prepaid health plan designed to facili- tate the access of Medicaid-eligible inner-city fami- lies to already available health services. The model is community-based and is designed to ad- dress problems of accessibility, equity, account- ability, continuity of care and consumer participa- tion, in essence, the model system, operating through the schools in a geographically defined area, proposes to use existing funds to assure a linkage between families in need of care and pro- viders already operating in the area through a modification of the usual method of allocating Medicaid monies. Inspired by the Kaiser-Perman- ente system, its most salient characteristics are: (1) use of the schools as an organizational focus for development of a health plan in inner cities, (2) an administrative structure responsible for estab- lishing and maintaining functional linkages among funding agencies, existing health care providers and consumers, and (3) prepayment of Medicaid services through capitation.

Conclusions presented by the applicant and comments on conclusions are presented for each major topic covered in the application for place- ment of transmission. Findings indicated that: (1) criteria used to develop the preferred route for the lines did not consider probable environmental con- sequences on agricultural lands, (2) the approach to assessing visual impacts relied too heavily on judgment rather than on analysis and fact finding, and (3) the proposed facility could adversely affect economic viability of agriculture in Riverhead, New York. The major impacts of the transmission lines will be visual and interfere with land use, but if the 129 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT transmission facility is justified it will be necessary to consider mitigation techniques or compensation for these impacts to produce a facility acceptable to the utility and to affected communities.

The Business and Industrial loan guarantee pro- gram is a result of the passage and implementa- tion by Farmer's Home Administration of the Rural Development Act of 1 972. Its primary purpose is to revitalize rural areas. Industrialization has been hailed as the panacea for the low-income prob- lems in rural areas. However, knowledge of the actual economic impact of industrialization on rural areas is limited. This study attempts to improve un- derstanding of how development proceeds in a rural area, emphasizing the economic benefits and the problems encountered with industrialization. It is limited to the review of a new potato processing plant in Elmore County, Glenns Ferry, Idaho that FmHA helped establish through financial assist- ance from the B&l program. The purposes of the study are to: (1) provide information to justify the guarantee loan program; (2) provide relevant data to present and justify its budget request; (3) pro- vide management with a tool as a basis for evalu- ating and designing policy; and (4) provide data for Congress in making budget decisions.

Use of volun- teers in the probation and parole setting provides a helping relationship which will complement and assist the work of the probation and parole depart- ments. The volunteer can facilitate the role of the probation officer by offering an individualized rela- tionship with the juvenile probationer. Volunteer utilization can be divided into two categories: func- tional and sponsorship. Functional utilization in- volves the use of volunteers to organize group ac- tivities or to survey employment opportunities for program clients. Sponsorship utilization refers to the assignment of a volunteer to a one-on-one re- lationship with a probationer. The sponsorship re- lationship is most effective when specific develop- mental areas are identified and approaches for achieving success in these areas are planned.

With increasing urbanization, there has been a rapid decrease in the amount of open space lands preserved within the urban areas; however, such lands are vital in densely populated areas. The pur- pose of this paper was to review the benefits of preserving open space lands in urban areas. The review indicated that significant benefits can be derived from such lands. These benefits include: (1) The carrying capacity of the land (ability to pro- vide natural services and resources); (2) the psy- chological and social benefits of open space; (3) preservation of open space to provide adequate ground water resources; (4) the cooling effects of open space and its ability to filter out dust and dampen noise; (5) the use of open space as a de- pository or sink for atmospheric pollutants; and (6) the economic benefits of open space.

The Transportation-Energy-Emissions Model (TEEM) was developed to study the varying effects upon energy use and air quality due to the imple- mentation of several alternate traffic systems in a metropolitan area. Given certain information on number of persons using each part of the transpor- tation system, time allocation of use, modal split, and certain characteristics of the transportation system, it estimates energy use and emission of SOx, NOx, CO, and HC. Emphasis of this study is based on the fact that the way a system is used affects energy use and pollutant emissions, and demonstrates how the volume of flow affects energy-emission rates by automobile, bus, and BART-type train use. Tentative results indicate that: (1) during peak congestion periods, arterial road use implies higher rates of fuel consumption than freeway, but during off-peak periods the situa- tion is reversed; and (2) switching 30 percent of passenger miles from auto to either buses or trains improves the energy use and emissions situation significantly.

The investigation of the hydrology of the West Fork drainage of the West Gallatin River was con- ducted in order to determine natural hydrologic conditions in that area prior to the construction and occupation of the Big Sky of Montana recreation complex. A main objective is to describe the natu- ral system so that any cause-and-effect relation- ships of development and incipient hydrologic changes can be better understood. About 40 per- cent of the estimated 61 ,000 acre-feet of average annual runoff and about 50 percent of the mini- mum daily discharge leaving the West Fork drain- age originates in subdrainages where commercial recreational development is planned. Ground water is available in bedrock and unconsolidated aquifers. Unconsolidated deposits as much as 80 feet thick overlie the bedrock in much of the area. Saturated thicknesses as great as 58 feet were penetrated and yields of as much as 200 gallons per minute were obtained by test wells.

The study, a part of the BART Impact Program's Environment Project, is an assessment of the BART system from the traveler's point of view. It focuses on the BART trip as an experience, and progresses through each step in the travel se- quence: finding and arriving at the BART station, entering and using the station facilities, waiting on the platform, riding on the BART train, and exiting from the BART system. The study's objectives are to assess the performance of the system's major components as seen from the traveler's perspec- tive and to identify those aspects which are par- ticularly satisfactory or troublesome. To achieve these objectives a variety of assessment methods was used, including direct observation, instrument measurements, review of existing technical stud- ies, and interview surveys of BART travelers and station attendants. These assessments suggest a wide range of lessons useful to transit policy- makers, planners and designers elsewhere.

The study examines factors affecting the extent to which non-institutionalized elderly persons use ambulatory physician care and short-term hospital- ization. Multivariate analyses were performed for 1,987 elderly persons living in five neighborhood health center service areas. The majority of vari- ance in health services utilization was explained by two health measures, namely, level of chronic dis- ability and number of episodic illnesses. Those with a regular source of care were three times as frequent as those with no regular care source to utilize ambulatory care. Medicaid recipients and neighborhood health center users were the most frequent users of ambulatory physician care, irre- spective of race. It appears that the removal of fi- nancial barriers coupled with a concerted effort for making health services readily available to the medically needy has greatly facilitated the use of ambulatory care. For a given level of health, elderly black had more frequent physician contacts and relatively shorter stays in hospitals than whites. Planned change of racial disparities in health care is suggested. PB-280 256/9 PC A03/MF A01 Skagit Regional Planning Council, Mt.

The work requirements of the food stamp program are intended to affect the program in two ways~by helping recipients find jobs so that they will no longer need assistance and by terminating bene- fits to those recipients who are able but not willing to work. Unfortunately, those responsible for ad- ministering the requirements seem to regard them as administrative paperwork rather than as a tool for reducing the program's size. And the job search requirement in the recently enacted Food Stamp Act of 1977 will probably be regarded the same way unless the Departments of Agriculture and Labor make the administrative changes discussed in this report.

The study is concerned with the effects of govern- mental policy options for conserving gasoline and improving air quality on the families that own and operate automobiles in the United States. The pat- tern of household effects across income groups is determined, and the various actions that the fami- lies may take to alleviate these effects are investi- gated. Five major findings include the following: (1 ) Since the wealthier half of the households in the United States account for almost three-fourths of total household gasoline consumption, the policies for reducing national gasoline consumption must be targeted primarily on these middle and upper income families. (2) Since poorer households spend a significantly greater percentage of their income on gasoline than more affluent families, the gasoline tax, and all increases in it, are regres- sive. (3) The several options available for offset- ting automobile travel cost increases which do not reduce auto trips or total mileage include deferring maintenance and driving older cars. (4) More afflu- ent families can offset larger cost increases than poorer families without reducing their total person- al travel. (5) The most valuable option open to most families is to purchase cars with greater fuel economy. PB-281 088/5 PC A03/MF A01 Economic Research Service, Washington, D.C.

Land information systems simultaneously serving real property taxation, land transfer, and land use planning functions in local government have been developed only in a few metropolitan areas. RAPLI-II is a simplified scheme providing land in- formation common to several offices in a rural county government. It is based on a geographic identifier and three computerized land information files on ownership, transfers, and physical features of land. To test the technical and economic feasi- bility, an operational model system was built and compared to the concurrently functioning manual system. The system, RAPLI-II, was technically fea- sible in the sense of generating legally required re- ports and economically feasible in the sense of re- ducing recordkeeping costs in local government.

While many positive results have occurred over the past 3 years, as evidenced by a significant reduction in program payment errors, improvements are needed to further strengthen the quality assurance system and enhance Social Security's ability to achieve additional economies in managing this program. GAO recommends that quality assur- ance data-gathering techniques and training be im- proved and that Social Security establish a correc- tive action system, assess the need for several program evaluation groups, and focus additional resources on studying specific problem areas.

The sewage treatment plant of the city of Hagers- town, Maryland-a manufacturing city with about 130 industrial firms, which are classified in more than 25 different product categories-receives for treatment domestic sewage and a diversity of in- dustrial waste and process waters. Some of these industrial wastewaters exert high immediate and ultimate oxygen demands that could not be satis- fied by the treatment plant or were otherwise detri- mental to the biological treatment processes of the treatment system. Therefore, certain methods of 'pretreating' the city's combined wastewaters to render these waters more amenable to treatment by the existing treatment plant were tried and eval- uated. The pretreatment methods tested were in- tended to assist the plant in meeting the oxygen demands by providing initial oxidation. The meth- ods were: diffuse aeration with and without the ad- dition of waste activated sludge, chlorination, addi- tion of sodium nitrate, and the addition of potas- sium permanganate. Ammoniation was also tried in an effort to destroy some of the more noxious industrial materials in the wastewaters. PB-281 600/7 PC A05/MF A01 Mechanicville, N.Y.

The current estimated fair market value of the 331,000 acres of land owned and leased by the State of Kansas, land which with minor exceptions is not taxable, is $230 million. How effectively this resource is managed by the 40 State agencies in- volved is of concern to every State taxpayer. For these reasons this subject was selected by the Legislative Post Audit Committee as one of several priority program audits to be conducted during fiscal year 1 976. The audit provides for efficiency and effectiveness evaluations as a basis for rec- ommended changes for improvements. Specific concerns addressed include the adequacy of the State's land inventory system; the identification of potentially surplus land; the effective management of potentially surplus land and alternatives for its use or disposition; and the impact of tax-exempt State land on the tax revenues of local taxing sub- divisions.

This study uses the techniques of life cycle costing to analyze some of the decision problems of police fleet management. It addresses the following questions: (1) What are the cost effects of pur- chasing different sizes of patrol cars and different optional equipment, (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of direct ownership of vehicles as compared with leasing vehicles; (3) How do the costs of contracting out maintenance compare with costs of an in-house shop; (4) What are the effects of alternative utilization practices on fleet costs; (5) How often should vehicles be replaced; (6) What method of vehicle disposition is most effi- cient. The techniques used to compare costs of alternative systems are described in a chapter on life cycle costing methodology. Cost estimates and empirical data are presented in the many tables, exhibits, and charts which support the study. Exist- ing fleet practices are described. Findings of the study are expressed as general guidelines for fleet management. The focus of the study is on police patrol cars, but the methods are applicable to other kinds of vehicles.

The 1978 Comprehensive Criminal Justice Plan for the State of Maine marks the completion of the first decade of criminal justice planning in this state as well as in the nation. In addition to including a brief statement of MCJPAA's accomplishments thus far, it also comments on the individuality of the 1978 Plan to demonstrate how it supersedes some of the obvious hereditary shortcomings of its predecessors. The 1978 Comprehensive Plan was developed from four major goals which were then applied to all functional areas to determine specific operational and programmatic strategies upon which to base the multi-year plan. In the Crime Analysis section, the plan looks at crime in both general and specific terms, attempting to provide a comprehensive picture of criminal activity in the State of Maine. The system analysis, provided in each section, exposes systemic deficiencies and proposes intermediate and longer range solutions which improve the effectiveness of the system and impact upon crime itself. Concommitant considera- tion, in addition to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system, is given to the humanity of the system as it deals with offenders and with those offended against.

The United States is dependent on petroleum for 46% of its energy needs. 42% of that petroleum is now imported. Embargoes have occurred in the past, and may occur again at any time. For this reason, the nation has embarked on an ambitious program of strategic crude oil storage which has a goal of 500 million barrels by December 1982. Maine is even more dependent on petroleum (77%) and specifically on foreign petroleum. Rec- ognizing this extreme vulnerability, the Office of Energy Resources assigned a high priority to de- termining the nature and extent of existing strate- gic storage capacity in Maine.

Experience has shown that at traffic incident scenes, safety and operations can be improved if good on-site traffic management is used. Motorists lose about 750 million vehicle-hours per year while waiting for incidents to be removed, and over 2 mil- lion accidents per year occur on urban freeways alone. This research study identifies low-cost inci- dent management systems for responding to free- way disturbances. Emphasis is placed on the de- velopment of pre-planned response techniques, candidate jurisdictional agreements, traffic oper- ational procedures for incident sites, and overall improvement of freeway incident management. This volume of the report has been developed to give police, highway, and traffic engineering per- sonnel an easy to follow example of the method- ology used to conduct freeway incident manage- ment analysis.

Keywords: 'Air pollution control, 'Motor vehicles, Regulations, Economic analysis, Taxes, Exhaust emissions, Particles, Sulfur dioxide, Standards, Benefit cost analysis, Illinois, 'Air quality, Emission factors, Chicago(lllinois). The method of controlling pollution through mar- ginal damage taxes is durable, but it is difficult to be optimistic about taxation as a generally accept- ed approach to environmental control.' As part of this research, the authors are estimating optimal particulate and sulfur dioxide emission taxes. But those with decision-making responsibility are not receptive to the taxation approach, because of the income transfers they imply and the complicated compensation schemes that would be required to make them 'wealth neutral.' Another disadvantage is that because of the individualistic nature of pol- lution damages, the optimal tax per pound of pol- lutant is different for every emitter. A prediction is that the scope for more nearly optimizing pollution control will increase, though most likely in non-tax forms. Even within the rigid uniform environmental quality standards approach, there are alternative ways of meeting standards. The cost-effective- ness studies of auto emission controls and benefit- cost analyses of stationary source measures for meeting air quality standards carried out in this project have significantly influenced control plans being adopted in Chicago.

This paper discusses the project organization of air pollution studies in which an interdisciplinary ap- proach is used. Environmental policy analysis in- volves the estimation of the amount of emissions forthcoming under various control policies and of the costs of achieving the control. Having estimat- ed the emissions and the costs of reducing emis- sions at each location under alternative policies, meteorological models translate the emission re- ductions into effects on air quality at each location. Air pollution dispersal modeling also is discussed. With estimates of air quality at each location in hand, damage reduction for the various control strategies is estimated. These are the benefits of pollution control which take the form of improved health and reduced materials damages. As part of the response to environmental variables, spatial adaptations are to be expected. Individuals may move away from pollution, and firms may relocate. The spatial dimension of adjustment, relatively ne- glected in previous work, is given particular em- phasis. 139 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-282 384/7 PC A03/MF A01 Idaho Governor's Task Force on Local Govern- ment, Boise.

The report describes a cooperative living project in which 14 to 18 severely handicapped young adults lived in a dormitory-like arrangement in downtown Houston sharing attendant and transportation services. It demonstrated the need for a diversity of living settings to suit the needs of handicapped individuals as they reached different stages of social, educational and economic development. Forty persons participated in the project between January 1972 and December 1975. The research techniques utilized standardized interviews of the residents prior to their entry into the project, during their stay and after they moved, as well as ongoing logs of medical problems and financial expendi- tures to evaluate the impact of the project on the participants. An anthropological study comparing a number of living environments for disabled per- sons in Houston found that apartment clusters with shared attendant and transportation services pro- vided the most opportunity to develop contacts with the general population. As and outgrowth of the program, the Texas Institute for Rehabilitation and Research has developed a transitional project based on the cooperative living experience to help severely handicapped young adults develop the skills to live in increasingly independent environ- ments.

Program budgeting provides information that can be used by decision-makers in allocating re- sources to produce services that in turn yield re- sults that further a city's objectives and goals. The enclosed materials are intended to reduce some of the problems encountered in developing program budgeting system for medium-size cities. A step- by-step approach is taken. A city first develops a program structure, which outlines the programs, program subcategories, and program elements to be used, along with supporting types of program measures. The second is the development of agency program plans (APP's), which provide pro- gram, financial, and personnel data arranged ac- cording to the components of the program struc- ture. The third step is the preparation of program budget requests, which show alternative funding levels juxtaposed with program accomplishments and are arranged by both program and organiza- tional structure. The budget-request phase culmi- nates in the preparation of a budget document or documents. The instructions included are intended to be used by a city budget office in assisting it and line agencies to convert to program budgeting. The report is based upon work done in the city of York, Pennsylvania. Both the instructions and the illustrations are from that city.

The report is a survey of the recent history, econo- my, and future prospects for the Great Lakes Region-Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon- sin, and Minnesota. The impetus for the survey came from a growing awareness that the region is beginning to face some difficult transitional prob- lems of adjustment because of structural changes within the national economy. The stress is most apparent in the region's older industrial centers. The survey has two major components. The first is derived from interviews with approximately 800 leaders of business, government, labor, and civic affairs in the region. They were asked for their views on the region's problems and needs. The second is an economic and demographic analysis of the six-state area. These two separate efforts have been used to compare factual information available with perceptions of those making deci- sions.

The major fiscal problem facing most public schools, is that costs are rising more rapidly than school revenues. Local voters are unwilling to in- crease local tax rates to meet those costs. State and federal governments are unlikely to provide enough funds to completely bridge the gap be- tween the costs and the amount local districts can raise for themselves. Since some cost increases (such as teacher salaries) are an automatic result of inflation and wage increases in other areas of the economy, the gap between school costs and school revenues can only be filled by saving money elsewhere, that is, by increasing school productivity. This paper examines current school management and budgeting practices and pro- poses one way they can be altered to encourage more coherent, understandable schooling. This proposal is the use of school site management. PB-282 828/3 PC A08/MF A01 Abt Associates, Inc., Cambridge, Mass. Housing Allowance Demand Experiment Rept no. 4 (Final) 1 Jan-31 Dec 76 Helen E.

A survey was conducted to determine what local governments are doing to measure productivity; to collect data on the meth- ods and practices used by local governments to improve productivity; and to identify productivity improvement projects. Questionnaires were mailed to all cities with populations 25,000 and over and all counties with populations exceeding 100,000. This report provides a definition for local government productivity that incorporates both the efficiency and the effectiveness of service deliv- ery. These components have been further de- scribed and their measurement also has been dis- cussed.

In 1974 the Congress authorized $500 million for transit assistance in nonurbanized areas (less than 50,000 population) during fiscal years 1975 through 1980. According to state and local offi- cials, demand for these funds, which are adminis- tered by the Urban Mass Transportation Adminis- tration, has been low because federal financial as- sistance for operating expenses is not available for nonurbanized areas, a clear federal policy is lack- ing for such areas, federal grant application proce- dures are complex, and some small towns are un- aware of the federal financial assistance. Legisla- tion is pending for operating assistance, but the Transportation Administration should provide spe- cific policies and procedures for public transit as- sistance in nonurbanized areas. Transportation should also evaluate grant application procedures to determine how they can be simplified, and should evaluate whether current information dis- semination methods are adequate.

Specifically the study examined barriers to service delivery in 14 programs in 5 functional areas: health, education, employment training, social services & income maintenance/welfare. This study involved both service providers and the client population (MSFWs) in identifying problem areas both groups face in the delivery and receipt of services. MSFWs in need of services reported not knowing where to go or that services were available as their primary reason for not using them or they were not qualified to receive services. Local service providers identified language prob- lems, lack of knowledge about services and prob- lems arising from social/cultural differences as the greatest barriers for MSFWs in service delivery.

This paper presents methods by which urban and regional planners can assess the air quality im- pacts of land-use decisions. A geocoded data base combining air pollution source-emission data and standard planning parameters, including popu- lation, economic activity, land use, employment, and energy consumption, was compiled for a large urban area. Statistical analyses of these data were employed to quantify the relationship between these parameters and air pollution emissions. The resultant land-use-oriented emission estimates were then coupled with atmospheric dispersion models to generate an assessment of the air qual- ity impacts of land-use planning and development decisions. This methodology can be used to evalu- ate alternative regional air pollution strategies, in- cluding land-use controls. This approach is not without recognized disadvantages that include the lack of available control technology for some forms of pollutants, the absence of a guaranteed method for maintaining air quality standards through failure to take account of regional growth, and economic inequities and inefficiencies. In this paper, figures of merit are applied to analyze and 145 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT compare both proposed point-source control regu- lations and emission density (pollutant emissions per acre of land use) limitations. These figures of merit include the feasibility, cost, and effectiveness in achieving and maintaining air quality standards and the added environmental impacts due to the application of control equipment.

This technical guide is intended for management analysts, budget analysts, assistant department heads, and task force or project leaders responsi- ble for productivity improvement in labor-intensive state or local government operations. It is written for jurisdictions desiring to improve personnel utili- zation through the use of work measurement. The majority of state and local government service ac- tivities are labor-intensive. Salaries make up about 63 percent of municipal budgets. States and coun- ties face a similar situation. This guide is designed to assist administrators in setting up productivity programs focused on four categories of labor-in- tensive government services: (1) maintenance services, such as streets and highways, public utili- ties, parks, buildings and facilities, and motor vehi- cle maintenance; (2) case assignment services, such as social workers, nurses, building inspec- tors, legal aid, and probation officers; (3) routing services, such as refuse collection, utility meter reading, and bus transportation; and (4) public safety and emergency services, such as police, fire, and ambulance. Basic concepts of work mea- surement, methods improvement, effectiveness measurement, and management reportind sys- tems are explained.

The experiment was con- ducted in Reading, Pennsylvania by New York Uni- versity in collaboration with local government orga- nizations and the ATC-Berks TV Cable Company. The four objectives which shaped the scope of the evaluative research and fostered the development of community support for the two-way cable system are: (1) to design and establish three neighborhood communication centers (NCCs) which were linked together by interactive cable television; (2) to train a staff of citizens to operate the interactive cable system; (3) to involve senior citizens and public agencies in the system's oper- ation; and (4) to provide live two-way public service programming through which senior citizens could communicate with each other and with service de- livery organizations. This summary discusses the NYU-Reading Cable Television Project in terms of research design, evaluative framework, system es- tablishment cost, system operation cost, Neigh- borhood Communication Centers, effects of the two-way cable system, knowledge about public services, involvement in political processes, par- ticipation in social and community activities, in- volvement of service delivery organizations, and continuation of the experimental system.

Keywords: "Economic analysis, Industries, Manu- facturing, Economic factors, Demographic sur- veys, Employment, Energy, Ohio, Indiana, Michi- gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, "Great Lakes Region(United States). The report is a survey of the recent history, econo- my, and future prospects of the Great Lakes Region-Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon- sin, and Minnesota. The impetus for the survey came from a growing awareness that the region is beginning to face some difficult transitional prob- lems of adjustment because of structural changes within the national economy. The stress is most apparent in the region's older industrial centers. The economic and demographic analysis of the six-state area shows that the Great Lakes states have been the industrial heartland of the United States for more than a century. There is a high degree of economic interdependence in the region. Now this region faces its first severe test as the core of its economic base, heavy manufactur- ing, is dispersing out of the central cities, and with new manufacturing growth favoring other regions of the country and even other nations. The leader- ship of the region faces the question of how best to aid the older manufacturing centers in their transi- tion from heavy reliance on manufacturing to a more diversified and balanced economic basis.

Public Service Options (PSO) attempts to develop new options in the delivery of public services. The major intent is to encourage purchase-of-service arrangements between the public and private sec- tors for the improved delivery of these services. 147 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT The authors develop an evaluation design that would provide an objective measure of the effec- tiveness of the PSO project in bringing about insti- tutional change. PSO concentrated on: (1) trying to diversify and improve the service delivery system in several key issue areas; (2) trying to unblock ob- stacles in the public sector; (3) redesigning serv- ices or delivery systems; and (4) researching and analyzing public needs. As a result, interviews were conducted with PSO staff and Board mem- bers and PSO's achievements were compared to certain problems with accomplishments of Denver and Seattle officials. The interviews with Board and staff members provided information on how PSO operates and on the circumstances that help or hinder PSO in reaching its goals. The inter-city comparisons provided an additional viewpoint on PSO's successful projects, and suggested addi- tional hypotheses about aspects of PSO and which external circumstances have led to success or fail- ure of a PSO project. This report covers the results of preliminary work on the interviews and the inter- city comparisons. PB-283 784/7 PC A06/MF A01 Illinois House Committee on Financial Institutions, Springfield.

The prospect of extensive energy development in several western states has created considerable interest in potential employment opportunities, as well as possible social, economic, and environ- mental effects. In light of this interest, surveys were conducted during the period 1974 through 1976 to determine the socioeconomic characteris- tics of workers at seven coal mines and six electric generating plants in North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Key factors influencing the number of workers that were hired locally were determined and a model to predict the local hire rate was de- veloped. The key factors identified and used in the model were: population, distance from the commu- nity to the project, wage levels, number of employ- ees at a project, number of employees at other projects in the area, and the total population of the area. Regression models were used to fit the data from the four local areas and the data were also combined for a regional model. Key factors influ- encing the residential choice of the nonlocal work- ers were also determined and a model to predict settlement patterns of the nonlocal workers was developed.

The central cities of the United States metropolitan areas have, as a group, moved into a period of both absolute and relative decline in demographic and economic terms. Between 1970 and 1975, they experienced an overall loss of population at the rate of -0.6 percent per annum. The number of jobs located in central cities (as a group) has cer- tainly declined, although reliable estimates are only available for specific cities. In the declining urban areas, these demographic and economic erosions have generated a sense of urgency with respect to the nation's cities because they seem to have led to at least two major urban problems: a relatively high rate of unemployment in the resi- dent labor force and increased fiscal pressure on the governments of central cities. The combination of the two poses a threat to the viability of many cities and is therefore seen as a national problem requiring fresh national initiatives and bold solu- tions.

Keywords: 'Airports, Abandonment, Economic impact, Employment, Revenue, Civil aviation, Commercial transportation, Land use, California, Hollywood Burbank Airport, Santa Barbara(California). The Economic Adjustment Strategy assesses po- tential economic impacts that would result from closure of the Hollywood-Burbank Airport and ad- dresses mitigation strategies to avoid closure. The potential of airport closure is a result of a decision by the private owner of the airport, the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. The impacts of these closure conditions could result in a loss of 1 ,01 1 to 1 1 ,31 1 direct jobs with impacts ranging from small local- ized effects to severe regional effects. The mitiga- tion strategy described in this report is that of im- plementing public purchase to continue airport op- erations. Preparation of the economic impact as- sessments presented in this report are a part of the extensive mitigation and planning work which has been conducted since 1 972 when the Corpo- ration first discussed divestment of the property. The economic impacts of closure would be felt acutely in the City of Burbank where tax revenues would be lost. The skills and other characteristics of workers affected by closure are important in de- termining their ability to find new employment.

They sought savings from 'focussed' service reductions aimed at reducing specific benefits for specific groups of people where it could be argued that no or minimal social harm could result, rather than from across-the-board service reductions which would affect everyone in a broad group of recipi- ents equally regardless of circumstances. Third, they have included recommendations which are dependent on additional staff and other resources requested in the FY 76 budget, without which not only will they not have the capacity to accomplish savings through managerial improvements, but they will also have to deal with a problem of de- creasing commitment and efficiency of the pres- ent, increasingly insufficient, staff.

A subcommittee of nine members was to be ap- pointed to study the possibility of extending the severance tax to non-metalliferous minerals, and to consider the possibility of developing some kind of trust fund from these revenues that would be used to aid areas impacted by energy develop- ment. Severance taxes are frequently called by other names such as production taxes, conserva- tion taxes or mining occupation taxes. The Natural Resource Tax and Trust Fund Subcommittee was appointed to pursue the study and over the past year held eight meetings and two public hearings to consider the question of extending the sever- ance tax and creating a trust fund with the rev- enues derived therefrom. The first public hearing was held on April 13, 1976, and the second hear- ing was held on May 18, 1976.

Lower sustained flows occur in the Scioto River Basin than in the other major basins in Ohio which are tributary to the Ohio River. This phenomenon is due in part to soil infiltration rates within the bound- aries of the glaciated/unglaciated physiographic provinces in the basin. Because of low summer flows and the large population center in Columbus, the largest water quality problem area is the river reach near and below Columbus. Delaware Lake, a Corps of Engineers reservoir, provides low-water releases to insure a minimum flow of at least 5 cfs in the Olentangy River below the dam and pro- vides additional streamflow between July 1 and September 20 to minimize pollution of the Scioto River below Columbus.

Background information on computing is provided by a detailed presentation of the evolu- tion of computer use in local governments and the state of that use today. Included are discussions of the various concepts for computer usage, the ex- periences of local governments with these con- cepts, current patterns of computer use among governments, roadblocks to sophisticated use of computing, and probable future trends in computer use. The major issues and policy concerns in the area of planning and management of data proc- essing activity are covered. Financial aspects of computing in local government are evaluated. The personnel and manpower issues involved in com- puting include topics such as the impact of com- puters on employment, job tasks, and employee attitudes. The discussion of major new issues in computer technology that local governments should be aware of, covers system building proce- dures, development of data base management and related systems, geoprocessing, and distribut- ed computing.

Communities across the nation are faced with the problem of how to assess the impacts of popula- tion change. What does it mean for the community if the population doubles over ten years. Does the new growth result in additional revenues that exceed, equal, or fall short of the increased ex- penditures for services and facilities. Most changes in local government services and taxes can be traced directly or indirectly to changes in the population. It is increasingly important to public officials and planners to anticipate the necessity for changes in both service levels and revenues associated with population change. The important task, then, is to find out how residential develop- ments will impact local government revenues and expenditures. The manual can be used to assess three types of growth: (1) new residential develop- ment within the city's existing boundary (primarily subdivision); (2) annexations of residential areas; and (3) population growth in general. The major benefit to be derived from use of the manual is in increased understanding of the fiscal conse- quences of growth. Such information can be of considerable importance to local decision-making and planning. PB-284 375/3 PC A03/MF A01 Automation Industries, Inc., Silver Spring, Md. Vitro Labs. Div.

The present report, consisting of eight volumes, details the designs for seven experiments to be performed at or near the Maine Facility of the US Department of Transportation. Rural two-lane roads are important in terms of extent, usage, and accident rate. Conditions such as on-coming traf- fic, slow vehicles on a grade and restricted passing opportunities tend to lower average vehicle speed, correspondingly increasing travel time and irritat- ing the driver. Situations of this kind may cause a driver to make unsafe passing attempts, tailgate or overtake a slow vehicle at high speeds. The prima- ry problem is how to increase safety, improve traf- fic flow, and lower operating costs without incur- ring major capital expenditures to rebuild and up- grade existing roads.

Based on the favorable economic results of a pre- vious 1975 study conducted in Wareham, Massa- chusetts, the MITRE Corporation proposed a pro- gram designed to encourage the development of small abandoned hydroelectric facilities. The thrust of the program is to demonstrate the techni- cal and economic feasibility of renewed use of the power canals and private development of 'mini' hy- droelectric sites. New England's hydroelectric po- tential is sufficiently large to make a major impact in reducing its present dependence on oil. The use of hydroelectric power would also be useful in alle- viating some of the substantial environmental problems associated with fossil and nuclear gener- ating plants, including the likelihood of significant economic advantages. Since the licensing, regula- tory, and institutional constraints involved in the implementation of such a program could be severe, recommendations are offered for the need to establish a regional organization that would act as an advocate for hydroelectric power. The need for a research and development program address- ing the technical and operational problems that must be resolved in order to encourage public and private utilities to develop New England's unused hydroelectric capacity is also discussed.

By removing some of the barriers to the utilization of technology by local government, the Urban Technology System (UTS) has helped to improve local service delivery and reduce costs. Sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) program, the system is an on-going, vital effort which groups together 27 local govern- ments, industry, universities, and Federal agencies with the common purpose of bringing the benefits of technology to municipal operations. There are significant implications for all cities. While billions of dollars of Federal and private money are spent on research, local governments seldom are orga- nized in a way that permits a systematic approach to implementing the research results. The National Science Foundation has sponsored UTS in an effort to meet several important objectives: To in- crease the use of technology by local govern- ments; to group local government needs in a way that encourages Research and Development (R and D) investment in solving local government problems; to speed up the spread of new ideas and technical innovations between local govern- ments; to assist the Federal Government in setting its R and D priorities; to study the ways in which the non-Federal public sector promotes and uses in- novation; and to disseminate the results of Federal Research and Development.

On June 6, 1978, California taxpayers voted over- whelmingly for a constitutional amendment to limit State and local taxation. Proposition 13, passed by two-thirds vote, limits realty tax to 1 percent of market value after July 1, 1978, limits assessment increases to 2 percent annually, and bases current property values on assessments as of March 1, 1975.

The effect that Proposition 13 will have on the amount of Federal funds that California re- ceives will depend upon actions taken by Federal, State and local governments.

The experience and potential of Maine's bond bank experiment is reviewed. An autonomous in- strumentality without state appropriations, the bank during its 3-1/2 years of operation, has cov- ered its expenses by investment return on its re- serve fund, and approximately $111 million in bonds have been issued, including $14 million in bonds for the reserve fund. The major function of a bond bank is to issue bonds in its own name and use the proceeds to purchase local government bonds. Essentially it bundles together small local bond issues into a larger, more attractive issue and offers it to the national market. Full faith and credit of the state is not pledged in payment of the bank's obligations, the bank does not possess taxing au- thority, and use of it does not permit localities to circumvent statutory debt ceilings. In Maine, any county, city, town, community school, sewer, water, or special districts may participate in the of- ferings of the bank if their application is accepted.

Drivers with no accidents and convictions, and drivers with one accident or conviction during the prior three years were sent an at-home drivers li- censing law test. The test was mailed two months prior to the expiration of their license and was to be taken in lieu of the regular renewal written test given at the field office. There were no significant overall effects of treatment on subsequent one year accidents or convictions. There were signifi- cant effects of treatment for certain subgroups however. Subjects who were misclassified as clean record drivers because they had received a citation or had been involved in an accident at such a recent point in time that it was not yet on their record when they were classified, had signifi- cantly more subsequent accidents. Male drivers under the age of 30 who were correctly classified as having clean records had significantly more convictions. Male subjects who were misclassified as having only one conviction or accident had sig- nificantly more convictions subsequent to treat- ment. Correctly classified female drivers with one prior accident or conviction had significantly fewer convictions subsequent to treatment.

Portable x-ray fluorescent lead analyzers offer the most cost-effective rapid and adaptable means for the non-destructive detection and measurement of lead paint in housing. Commercially available port- able lead analyzers have had poor accuracy and precision below lead levels of about 2 milligrams lead per square centimeter of surface area. They have also performed relatively unsatisfactorily with regard to service-ability and maintenance. Two new portable lead analyzers, based on x-ray flu- orescence, have been developed under HUD con- tracts. The prototypes of one of these devices have shown considerable improvement over previ- ously available instruments in terms of accuracy, portability, and user characteristics. Lead paint ref- erence materials containing 0.6, 1.5, and 3.0 mg sq cm lead have been developed for distribution to users of portable x-ray fluorescent lead analyzers for purposes of calibration and instrument perform- ance assessment. This paper discusses the per- formance and operating characteristics of the lead analyzers developed under HUD contracts and the lead paint reference materials developed by the National Bureau of Standards.

Public policy in the Twin Cities area is moving toward a conclusion that solution to transportation problems will require high-service, low-capital, cost-effective systems. Development of additional ways for people to get to work is, with the energy shortage, a matter of urgency in the area. The shared ride in small vehicles, or 'para-transit', has emerged as an attractive alternative to driving alone. The focus in developing alternatives to the automobile must be to determine which system - car or van pool, taxi, bus or other mass transit - is cost competitive with the automobile and best serves work trips going to specific locations. Small vehicle, door-to-door systems complement the system of large buses in serving the downtown area and could be additionally attractive for up to 40% of the estimated 830,000 daily work trips. The savings and benefits from a major effort at shared ride systems could be substantial for the employ- ee, employer, and for the public. These low cost shared ride systems are available, but steps must be taken to resolve certain issues and make them more widely available. PB-284 787/9 PC A07/MF A01 Urban Inst., Washington, D.C.

Several types of employee productivity incentives potentially applicable to local offices of the Em- ployment Service (ES) are described, and recent incentive efforts by state ES agencies are re- viewed. Potential barriers to the use of local office incentives arising from legal constraints, state civil service and personnel system rules and policies, and public employee organizations are assessed, as are the attitudes towards incentives of ES per- sonnel at the national, state, and local office levels. Technical barriers to the use of local office incentives are also examined, including the group- ing of employees for incentive purposes, perform- ance criteria, the choice of rewards, equity consid- erations, and costs. Conclusions are provided re- garding the feasibility and desirability of local office incentive plans, and recommendations are made for future research, including suggestions regard- ing the implementation and evaluation of pilot tests. The study draws on interviews with a variety of federal, state, and local office ES officials and staff. Nine states participated in the study: on-site interviews were conducted in six, and three more commented by mail. PB-284 796/0 PC A04/MF A01 Council of State Governments, Lexington, Ky.

The experience and potential of North Carolina's primary health care program for rural areas is re- viewed. North Carolina's rural health centers were first funded in 1 973. Medical care is provided by a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) or a Physician's Assistant (PA) who has had a year of special train- ing. The doctor and FNP/PA operate from a list of mutually agreed upon standing orders. Communi- cations with a specific backup physician are always available to the FNP or PA, and the doctor visits the Clinic periodically. Primary care provided includes physical examinations, diagnosis and treatment for colds, flu, sore throats; treatment for infections, cuts, bruises, most injuries; care for high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic ill- nesses; emergency first aid, vaccinations, and a full range of laboratory services. Included is a dis- cussion of financial considerations of the North Carolina program, its enabling legislation, and im- portant factors in considering the creation of such a rural health center program elsewhere.

Keywords: 'Correctional institutions, 'Rehabilita- tion, Innovations, Probation, Corrections, Crime re- duction, Criminal justice, Georgia. The experience and potential of Georgia's pro- gram of residential restitution centers is reviewed. The Georgia centers are offender-focused rather than victim-focused, thus differing from state victim compensation programs. Ten centers serve desig- nated judicial districts. They represent an alterna- tive to prison incarceration, not probation supervi- sion. Georgia's centers have relieved prison over- crowding. The preferred method of selection is to interview sentenced offenders in the county jail while they await transportation to the state prison. If the center's staff members believe the program would be appropriate, it is recommended to the sentencing judge that the sentence be modified for placement of the offender in a center as a condi- tion of probation. Centers operate 24 hours a day seven days a week. Offenders are employed and relinquish their paychecks to center staff members for division according to a contract. Restitution in- cludes monetary payment for damages and public service activities. A typical participant in the pro- gram is a 1 9-year-old offender convicted of a prop- erty offense, with an average length of stay of four months.

The health cost containment programs of Con- necticut, Maryland and New Jersey are reviewed with the suggestion that they are making some progress in limiting the rise in medical care costs. These states have chosen to intervene directly by regulating hospital rates, which, it is suggested, is not a solution which all states will adopt for both philosophic and administrative reasons. The com- plex issues and economic stakes relating to the subject are considered in the context of the experi- ences of these three states. Opponents of state regulation in the health field believe regulation in- evitably leads to political influence and bureaucrat- ic inefficiency, that it favors the status quo, and that it impedes development of more efficient facil- ities and programs. Advocates maintain that be- cause of special conditions affecting supply and demand in the health care industry, including mini- mal price competition, the public interest can best be served through regulation. Emphasis is placed on the experience of the Connecticut Hospital and Health Care Commission because more informa- tion was available about this program.

The ability of a government to provide services at the level deemed acceptable to the people in a ju- risdiction is dependent upon the availability of suffi- cient revenue to finance the cost of those services. The potential to generate revenue, in turn, is de- pendent upon the size of the tax base, the tax rate, local non-tax revenue possibilities, and intergov- ernmental transfers. Real property represents a significant part of the tax base for local govern- ments in the United States generally and specifi- cally in Missouri. The commonly accepted view re- ferred to earlier is based upon the hypothesis that local government finances suffer adversely from the acquisition of land by public agencies. Further, it is hypothesized that the impact of public land ownerships on local government finances is unaf- fected by the distinction in predominant use be- tween land-related and water-related activities on the public land. The purpose of this study is to test the validity of these two hypotheses as applied to county governments and school districts in pre- dominantly rural counties in Missouri.

The pro- posed program will enable counties to more swiftly respond to critical problems and will permit the De- partment of Mental Health to provide and offer strong assistance to the counties in solving statewide problems.

This volume is one of seven case studies. The tools of microeconomic analysis are applied to assess the responsiveness of both the supplier and the user of the subsidized product or service. Particular attention is given to the effects of the subsidies on capital formation and technological change, but general efficiency effects are also considered. Because the bulk of the stimulus to technological change in the transit industry repre- sents a secondary impact, the main focus of the study is on the ways in which the subsidies affect the demand for inputs into the provision of transit service.

The Utah program uses computers and statistical programs for statewide property assessment. It consists of collecting data, evaluating the data by giving it a dollar value, recording the information, and transferring updated property records and as- sessments to local governmental jurisdictions. The program requires the collection and accurate proc- essing of an enormous amount of information which has a direct effect on taxpaying voters, and any state considering the program should develop a plan for using electronic data processing (EDP). 156 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT The State Tax Commission sees the extensive use of EDP as providing a cost effective means of meeting several of the state's goals. States which contain numerous taxing jurisdictions that do not have expert appraisal staffs would be likely candi- dates for the Utah system. The program can bring equity and uniformity to a locally administered tax that affects statewide programs. The periodic re- appraisal program can also substantially increase state and local revenues as well as bonding au- thority. This report is one of a series documenting case examples of innovations in the policy proc- ess, administrative management, and program op- eration of state governments.

This document is intended as a management ori- ented guide to the rail vehicle maintenance sched- uling problem and to the new model (MASSTRAM) developed for evaluating such schedules. This final report outlines and discusses a three phase project for the development of a conversational computer system for the cost-effective mainte- nance of heavy equipment in urban mass transit systems. Phases I and II consisted of operations analysis of maintenance activities at selected properties, namely, on maintenance procedures at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). Phase III consisted of the development of a model called MASSTRAM (Maintenance Analy- sis and Scheduling System for Transit Manage- ment). A new model, MASSTRAM, has been de- signed to be compatible with whatever information system a transit property uses for collecting and storing information on vehicle maintenance and repair activities. MASSTRAM has the ability to evaluate the cost and service loss implications of any specified maintenance strategy, given the pre- valing maintenance/breakdown relationships. In addition, the model can be used to generate an 'optimal' preventive maintenance schedule. A 'User's Manual' has been written for MASSTRAM containing detailed explanations of all options available. MASSTRAM is now operational. MBTA plans to incorporate MASSTRAM in their Comput- erized Maintenance Records System when their system is completed. The value of MASSTRAM rests with the use to which it is put by transit man- agement and staff, and with the ability of informa- tion systems to provide the model with up-to-date accurate information in the required formats.

A project was undertaken to determine whether training effectively augmented nursing home staff knowledge of a fire emergency plan, and to assess attitudes and general knowledge of appropriate behavior in fire. Staff members of a nursing home in Evanston, Illinois were divided into two groups: (1) those who attended a lecture (training session) concerning the first page of the institution's fire emergency plan, and (2) those who did not attend the lecture. All staff members in the sample com- pleted a questionnaire designed to assess atti- tudes toward training and general knowledge of appropriate fire behavior. Items were also included to assess the impact of training on specific knowl- edge of the fire emergency plan. Results indicated that (1) most respondents were unfamiliar with some aspects of the institution's plan, (2) in some cases, the plan was found to be inadequate, in- complete and unclear, (3) staff members held posi- tive attitudes toward training and were somewhat knowledgeable about appropriate behavior in fire, and (4) the lecture training method adequately conveyed certain types of information to staff members.

The Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment is not obtaining the information it needs to evaluate community performance under the Com- munity Development Block Grant program. Grant application forms, grantee performance reports, and Housing and Urban Development monitoring do not provide the information necessary for (1) determining whether community development pro- grams have been developed in accordance with legislative objectives and (2) assessing the prog- ress of community programs. Also, Housing and Urban Development annual reports to the Con- gress on the block grant program provide very little information on the actual use of block grant funds and progress of the program.

The feasibility of applying a dynamic programming (DP) approach to the least cost design of drainage networks which include storage elements is dem- onstrated for an hypothetical case. Network lay- outs were assumed to be known from previous planning activities; inlet hydrographs were arbitrar- ily chosen. The optimization problem was posed as an N-stage sequential process; network nodes or junctions were treated as the stage variable, con- duit invert elevations at the junctions as the state variable, and maximum flow rates and conduit sizes (restricted to commercial sizes) as decision variables. Unsteady flow routing between stages is incorporated into the optimization model. Com- pared with conventional design methods, use of the approach could achieve overall drainage net- work cost reductions amounting to 30%.

This program was designed to evaluate a coopera- tive project undertaken by two Minneapolis-based organizations, the Upper Midwest Council and the Citizens League. The joint-venture project, known as Public Service Options (PSO), was involved in the development of new options in the delivery of public services. The project was seen as a conven- ient vehicle through which to evaluate the effec- tiveness of the two parent organizations in bringing about institutional changes within local govern- ment. The evaluation was designed to measure not only the degree to which institutional changes occurred, and the relationship of these changes to the joint-venture effort, but also whether any ap- parent effectiveness of this approach was related to unique characteristics of the Twin Cities envi- ronment, population, or history that would make successful replication in another location infeasi- ble. The evaluation involved the collection of two types of information: (1) primary data from poten- tial PSO contractors, using a before-and-after design, in order to study governmental involve- ment in the purchase of services; and (2) second- ary data obtained by monitoring important and rel- evant PSO meetings.

This report presents airport vicinity aircraft emis- sions data for HC, CO and NOx at selected com- mercial and general aviation airports. The data represents an updating of calculated aircraft emis- sions for recent years and estimates of future air- craft emissions. Operations by individual aircraft models are scrutinized in detail. Breakdowns of operations by air carriers, air taxis, general aviation and auxiliary power units are included and the emissions from each are summed to provide esti- mates of total pollutants dispersed. Despite a gen- eral trend toward more operations, the total emis- sions at the commercial airports decrease as a result of a changing fleet mix with more modern engines and the advent of promulgated and pro- posed regulatory standards. With increased oper- ations at general aviation airports, emissions will continue to increase without the imposition of reg- ulatory standards because uncontrolled modern engines emit substantially the same pollutants as older piston engine designs.

Atmospheric dispersion modeling programs such as the Climatological Dispersion Model (CDM), Air Quality Display Model (AQDM), and Implementa- tion Planning Program (IPP) are among the most basic tools used for evaluation of air quality and State Implementation Plans (SIP's). Since emis- sions data comprise the most important input infor- mation for these models, any factor affecting the availability and completeness of the emissions data has a significant impact on the results of the modeling programs. Procedures for formatting emissions from point sources are well defined; however, area source emission data present prob- lems. Usually the smallest geographic unit for which accurate primary data are available is the county. These data must be disaggregated and ap- propriately allocated to smaller areas to provide an adequately detailed input. The five major computer gridding programs and associated subroutines contained in this revised manual provide an objec- tive method for allocating county-level data to grid squares selected on the basis of demographic fea- tures and sized to give appropriate detail for input to air quality modeling programs.

The Santa Monica Freeway Diamond Lanes, a pair of concurrent-flow preferential lanes for buses and carpools linking the City of Santa Monica, Califor- nia, with the Los Angeles CBD, opened on March 1 6, 1 976 and operated amid much controversy for 21 weeks until the U.S. District Court halted the project. The Diamond Lane project marked the first time preferential lanes had been created by taking busy freeway lanes out of existing service and dedicating them to the exclusive use of high-occu- pancy vehicles. This report summarizes the find- ings of the evaluation of the project. The report ad- dresses a broad range of impacts in the following major areas: Traffic speeds and travel times; traffic volumes and carpool information; bus operations and ridership; safety and enforcement; energy and air quality; and public attitudes and response. Anal- ysis shows that the project succeeded in increas- ing carpool ridership by 65% and the increased bus service accompanying the Diamond Lanes caused bus ridership to more than triple. Nonethe- less, energy savings and air quality improvements were insignificant, freeway accidents increased significantly, non-carpoolers lost far more time than carpoolers gained, and a heated public outcry developed which has delayed the implementation of other preferential treatment projects in S.

The report identifies for the urban service planner and administrator ways in which telecommunica- tions technology could improve delivery of health care, educational services, welfare programs, law enforcement, citizen safety, energy management and conservation, electromagnetic spectrum man- agement, fire protection, transportation, housing, and postal services. The report urges that a dem- onstration project be undertaken so the potential for improved delivery of public service to the home can be tested and shown viable. The report also recommends that nationwide implementation of 91 1 emergency services be encouraged, by legis- lation, if necessary. In mobile communications, no single mobile system or approach is likely to pro- vide a universal, optimal solution, but several new developments in technology will permit more effi- cient use of the frequency spectrum. To enhance the individual's sense of personal security, the report recommends some preliminary experiments of community security telecommunciations net- works, using simple equipment and operated by the community members themselves. In energy conservation and management, the report con- cludes that telecommunications has several pe- ripheral but potentially significant roles, such as transmitting demand and pricing information be- tween consumer and utility, and facilitating market- ing and transfer of bulk power.

The report examines the mobility and accessibility impacts that the 71 mile Bay Area Rapid Transit System has had to date on the transportation dis- advantaged. Three special population groups are the focus of analysis-ethnic minorities, the elderly and handicapped. These groups are of special concern for transportation planning and policy be- cause of either low-income status or mobility relat- ed impairments. Findings are reported from the in- vestigation of five issues related to BART's im- pacts for the transportation disadvantaged on in- creased accessibility to employment, social, medi- cal, cultural and recreational opportunities. Rapid rail patronage levels by ethnic minorities, the elder- ly and handicapped travelers are examined. The impact on the handicapped of BART's barrier-free design is investigated. Evaluation of these findings is made in the context of the level, nature, and degree of equity in the incidence of BART's mobil- ity impacts. Based on the findings of the study, im- plications for the transportation disadvantaged of a regional rapid rail transit investment are presented in terms of policy considerations for other areas in which similar systems may be considered.

The Computer Assisted Area Source Emissions procedure (CAASE) was used to allocate county total emissions to subcounty area source grid squares. The grid square system provided a con- tinuous set of squares over the seven counties of the Twin Cities, Minnesota AQCR. Objective ap- portioning factors based on population, housing units, area of the grid square, or a combination of these characteristics were used for the distribution of most emission source categories. The applica- tion of these factors is included in the CAASE com- puter programs. The remaining emission source categories-diesel rail locomotive, aircraft oper- ations, and waterborne vessels-were allocated on the basis of factors especially developed for this AQCR. The rationale used in this development is documented in this report. Assuming the correct- ness of the totals of each category of emissions furnished to the contractor, the allocated area source emissions should provide a suitable base for air quality modeling.

In this bulletin, data are analyzed from 248 house- hold interviews obtained from residents in one northern Arizona and two rural southern Utah com- munities situated in an area of rich energy re- sources and near the proposed Kaiparowits power project. Projections of the employment benefits which would have accrued to local residents from this project indicate that relatively few jobs would have been filled by local residents, and those that would have been were in the non-skilled labor cat- egories. The conclusion reached from the analysis is that employment gains for local residents would be minimal to moderate and would certainly fall far short of the promises made by both politicians and developers. Concomitantly, these gains do not correspond to the expectations and beliefs of the local residents. Four factors are examined which help explain this unanticipated projected result: (1) the mismatch between project employment re- quirements and the skills available in the local pop- ulation; (2) the apparent unwillingness of local resi- dents to be trained for employment; (3) the lack of desire on the part of local residents to apply for employment with the project; and (4) the distance from local communities to the proposed develop- ment.

Recom- mendations for research or demonstration projects and for actual program implementation are dis- cussed. The Human Support Model was built upon data revealing the importance of security, auton- omy and acceptance to impaired older adults. These values were incorporated into a framework which depicts the older person in the context of his relationships with other individuals, with groups, and with service and market organizations. The au- thors contend that adequate human interaction and living space constitute the basic needs and the basic sources of satisfaction for older individ- uals. Formal services are periodically needed to supplement the support provided by personal con- tacts and living space, but these services should be delivered in a way which strengthens rather than damages or replaces the person's own daily life routine. The functions of the Model are dis- cussed. System improvements and program op- tions in several areas are mentioned. Uses for var- ious audiences are suggested.

The worker adjustment assistance program is de- signed to provide benefits to help workers adjust to job loss or reduced income because of import competition. GAO's review of adjustment assist- ance to New England workers showed that the program had provided primarily cash benefits, with few workers taking advantage of training and em- ployment services. Furthermore, the usefulness of the cash benefits was lessened because many payments were inaccurate and untimely, with many workers receiving them after returning to work. GAO recommends that the Department of Labor better monitor the program and ensure, to the extent practicable, that future payments are accurate and timely.

FPCD-78-16 Keywords: "Military law, "Courts of law, Criminal justice, Military personnel, Punishment(Psychology), Efficiency, Attorneys, Judicial decisions, "Military justice. The military justice system presents obstacles to the impartial delivery of justice because command- ers who approve the trial of the accused (conven- ing authorities) are also required by law to adminis- ter the justice system. Convening authorities (1) detail key participants in court proceedings; (2) control funds for witnesses; and (3) budget the cost of military justice support staff and facilities. Problems with the defense and trial counsel orga- nizations in the services further contribute to a per- ception that military justice is uneven, unfair, and of low priority. Certain changes, including diminishing the role of the convening authority in administering the system, can alleviate or correct some of the problems within existing organization structures. However, organizational changes are needed for long-range improvements to enhance judicial independence and make the system more effi- cient.

A systems analysis methodology is presented for identifying the least cost combination of municipal water supply facilities and operating rules. The planning package called WASOPT (Water Supply Optimization) includes the following procedures and capabilities: (1) The water supply and demand data (both existing and potential) are input in re- sponse to interactive statements from the comput- er in a form similar to that required for a manual solution to the planning problems; (2) WASOPT generates a mathematical model representing the problem's objective and constraints as defined by the input data; (3) the optimal solution is deter- mined by use of a mixed integer programming al- gorithm; (4) the mixed integer programming solu- tion is reported in a format designed especially for the municipal problem (in addition to the normal optimization package output). The procedure can be applied to regional or single complex municipal problems without revision to the generalized model form. The internal generation of the math- ematical model totally eliminates the time consum- ing and error prone task of manually developing the model constraints and also allows use by plan- ning engineers who have no previous knowledge of computer science or mathematical program- ming.

The area of tax-forfeited land that is county-admin- istered in Minnesota is currently estimated at almost 2.9 million acres-a decrease of about 17 percent since the mid-1 960's. This decrease is the result of a change in land sales, land forfeitures, and other land transfers. Not only have land sales decreased since the early 1 960's, but also less land has been forfeited back to the counties. Al- though the tax-forfeited acreage sold decreased each year, the value of the land sold increased dramatically-from $6.33 per acre in 1960 to nearly $70.00 per acre in 1974.

National flood plain management policy has shift- ed from placing the primary emphasis on structural controls to a balance between structural and regu- latory type controls. Two district flood plain zoning, in which the flood hazard area is divided into flood- way and floodway fringe districts, is currently being strongly advocated by agencies of the federal gov- ernment. Federal criteria for establishing a two-dis- trict flood plain zoning ordinance are reviewed and examined. A relatively simple example is present- ed to illustrate some aspects of uncertainty in map- ping resulting from use of short historical records of flood flows. The example indicates how regional uncertainty categorization schemes could be im- plemented on the basis of flood frequency sum- mary statistics and flow geometry. The report is in- tended to be a secondary resource of principle value to state personnel and particularly to com- munity planners who are faced with choosing one approach or combining different approaches to mitigate flood losses.

The major purpose is to provide a means for measuring the performance of, in the case of Volume II, crimi- nal justice services. The report is based on the premise that communities can compare costs and levels of services with communities similar to them. The first section introduces the idea of per- formance measurement in terms of community S)als for public service provision and describes e kinds of measures used to indicate quality, quantity, and costs of services. The second sec- tion contains a report of these measures for select groups of North Carolina municipalities that offer variation in population size and geographical distri- bution across the state.

The Street Patching Operations Decision Process considers three basic components of street patch- ing operations: labor, materials, and equipment. The process allows a jurisdiction to determine and analyze its current street patching costs and to evaluate the impact of the proposed changes in labor allocation, materials, and equipment. Through analysis of current costs and perform- ance in street patching operations, opportunities for cost reduction or performance improvement are suggested. Typical questions to be answered by such an analysis include: Should we use materi- al A or material B for winter patching. Should we deploy our six people as two 3-person crews, or as three 2-person crews. How does an extra truck on crew C affect overall cost. The process would be used to answer these questions by evaluating total cost for each alternative and comparing the results of each possibility with current costs. The Street Patching Operations Decision Process described and illustrated in this report was developed to enable local governments to evaluate changes in operations and equipment as well. The Appendix presents four examples of the application of the process. Example I illustrates the cost impact of an equipment change; Example II, a crew size change; Example III, an improved material; and Ex- ample IV evaluates combined changes in all three areas.

The workshop concluded that mar- keting as a technique for involving citizens pre- sents significant strategies for improving the design and delivery of public policies and services. However, to become most useful at the operation- al level, many of the concepts and tools need to be further developed and tested.

In recent years, an awareness that land and its re- sources are limited and subject to deterioration has led to a growing concern over how land is being used and how it should be used in the future. The Federal Government has a special interest in land use because it owns large amounts of land and resources and sponsors many programs with land use implications. This study examines current and emerging issues relating to Federal involve- ment in the land use planning, management, and control area and represents the perspective used to organize GAO audit efforts.

The report, in conjunction with the pre- vious fifteen progress reports and other original documentation in the files of the Economic Devel- opment Administration will permit any interested individual to be well informed in the history, devel- opment and outcome of this project. The program supplied the means, the required attitudes and the procedures which provided the time for the com- munity to effect the transition of the Naval Air Sta- tion to civilian uses. The base will increasingly become a part of the community and will decreas- ingly become thought of as a military base. Jobs will continue to increase. The economic impact will increase at a rapid rate with new construction, new business, and increased truck and rail traffic. All of these results are assured by new existing business and by those under construction and firmly planned. The tax digest will continue to benefit from new industry, the former base housing now in the private sector and the new homes and busi- ness which will evolve as a result of the economic stimulus. The recreational facilities will continue to prosper and will be improved as they do. PB-288 556/4 PC A07/MF A01 Michigan State Univ., East Lansing. Inst, of Water Research.

Environmental constraints on the use of chlorine for wastewater disinfection has increased the need for alternative treatment chemicals. It has become apparent that chlorine treatment may in- troduce toxic, soluble chlorinated organics into the waste stream. Recent work with iron (VI) ferrate has been undertaken to evaluate its potential as a substitute for chlorine in wastewater treatment processes. Due to the ability of iron to act as a co- agulant and nutrient scavenger, as well as an oxi- dant, it holds promise of being a multipurpose addi- tive. The capacity of ferrate to treat secondary and primary sewage-treatment effluents and its germi- cidal effectiveness in secondary effluents and raw sewage are discussed. The effectiveness of fer- rate as a disinfectant against enteric pathogens, particularly salmonella typhimurium, shigella flex- neri, E. coli, and streptococcus faecalis and the optimal concentrations of ferrate needed to pro- duce rapid die-off of these bacteria are examined. A discussion of the effects of pH on disinfection kinetics, the effect of temperature, suspended solids, and the role of dissolved organic matter are also included.

The study concerns the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and its efforts to deal effectively with the problems of economic development. With the aid of a grant from the U.S. Department of Com- merce, an Economic Development Department was created to address these problems from a borough-wide perspective and launch a corollary marketing program that would enable Brooklyn to replenish the jobs that were lost. A four-pronged strategy, aimed at encouraging new industry to locate in Kings County and helping existing busi- nesses over some of the problems that encour- aged others to leave, was developed. The report summarizes the first year's efforts of the Depart- ment, its successes and disappointments, and its plans and hopes for the future.

It also attempts to record the lessons learned through previous programs of technical and supervisory assistance, from which FmHA can draw invaluable conclusions, a number of useful insights, and an indication of some of the problems it can encounter in an improperly administered pro- gram. The participation of FmHA employees has been gained through a survey to determine the conditions under which they and their communities would accept such a program on the local level, while the input of the National Office and of some of the potential users was also obtained to estab- lish directions for implementing the program in a manner capable of meeting both the needs of FmHA and the ultimate user. It also provides an opportunity to express the basic philosphies which should be incorporated into the program to make sure it will be successful in the established tradi- tion of FmHA's programs of supervised credit.

The report examines the economic, employment and financial impacts that the 71 mile Bay Area Rapid Transit System has had to date on the trans- portation disadvantaged. Three special population groups are the focus of analysis - ethnic minorities, the elderly and handicapped. These groups are of special concern for transportation planning and policy because of either low-income status or mo- bility related impairments. Findings are reported from the investigation of seven issues related to BART's impacts for the transportation disadvan- taged on increased accessibility to employment opportunities, direct employment, business and neighborhood viability and the costs of financing operations and construction. Evaluation of these findings is made in the context of the level, nature, and degree of equity in the incidence of BART's economic impacts. Based on the findings of the study, implications for the transportation disadvan- taged of a regional rapid rail transit investment are presented in terms of policy considerations for other areas in which similar systems may be con- sidered.

Several new or alternative wastewater treatment technologies exist which provide additional bene- fits to wastewater recycling and reuse. However, few techniques have been used on construction grant projects because: They often provide unnec- essary treatment levels; they are not cost effective in comparison to conventional secondary technol- ogies; stringent State pretreatment requirements create additional costs; limited information on health effects exists; suitable land is not available; and program participants are unwilling to risk fail- ure. The Environmental Protection Agency should encourage the acceptance and use of new or al- ternative technologies and designate a central group to analyze long-term wastewater treatment research needs.

Atmospheric dispersion modeling programs such as the Climatological Dispersion Model (CDM), Air Quality Display Model (AQDM), and Implementa- tion Planning Program (IPP) are among the most basic tools used for evaluation of air quality and State Implementation Plans (SIP's). Since emis- sions data comprise the most important input infor- mation for these models, any factor affecting the availability and completeness of the emissions data has a significant impact on the results of the modeling programs. Procedures for formatting emissions from point sources are well defined, however area source emission data present prob- lems. Usually the smallest geographic unit for which accurate primary data are available is the county. These data must be disaggregated and ap- propriately allocated to smaller areas to provide an adequately detailed input. The Computer Assisted Area Source Emissions gridding programs with as- sociated subroutines containing automated grid- ding procedures provide an objective method for allocating county-level data to grid squares select- ed on the basis of demographic features and sized to give appropriate detail for input to air quality modeling programs.

The purpose of the contract was to train emergen- cy-service personnel in the operation of Emergen- cy Vehicles (EVs). The course requires five days to administer and includes both classroom and in-ve- hicle training. Classes can accommodate students from any one or a combination of the following emergency services: law enforcement; fire serv- ices; rescue; or, ambulance/EMS. The in-vehicle exercises work with emergency sedans, vans, or large fire apparatus. The report: (a) Describes the functional analysis performed to derive the de- scription of the tasks performed in EV operation; 170 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT (b) describes the training analysis process used to delineate the training requirements, objectives, and course content; (c) discusses the Pilot Test and Revision process; and (d) presents conclu- sions and recommendations for improving the course. The major conclusion is that the flexibility of having one package for all services and vehicle types may not justify the added administrative bur- dens and the instructional compromises that were necessary to get the flexibility. The authors recom- mend that NHTSA consider re-packaging the pro- gram as separate courses for each Emergency Service.

The report describes the results of a before-and- after study to evaluate the effectiveness of dynam- ic sign systems in alerting motorists to the pres- ence of narrow bridges on two lane rural highways. Vehicle speed and lateral placement (perpendicu- lar distance to roadway centerline) data were gath- ered for each of the dynamic sign systems tested. These data were used as measures of effective- ness for determining the ability of each of the sign systems to increase safety and improve driver awareness of potential hazards. A roadside survey was independently conducted by the State of Maine to determine the public reaction to the dy- namic sign systems. The results of the survey were made available to the authors and are discussed in the report. Four sign systems were examined under both day and night conditions. These includ- ed flashing beacons, strobe lights, and two neon message signs. Two additional sign systems in- volving bridge lights were examined at night only. Results showed no substantial and consistent dif- ferences between the existing and dynamic sign systems in terms of the speed and lateral place- ment measures. The roadside survey provided ad- ditional driver awareness measures for determin- ing the safety benefits of the new sign systems but also did not reveal any important improvements.

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 requires that the USEPA considr specific criteria in deter- mining priorities for setting NSPS for major source categories: quantity of air pollutant emissions, extent to which air pollutant emissions endanger public health and welfare and the mobility and competitive nature of each source category. This report describes a methodology that has been de- veloped for prioritizing source categories using the Clean Air Act criteria. The methodology, which em- ploys three distinct computer programs, was ap- plied to a data set of over 1 50 major source cate- gories for nine different air pollutant emissions (particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, and fluorides). The methodology provides for giving different weight to each of the Clean Air Act criteria and the establish- ment of distinct future year goals of achievement for each pollutant. The program output is a priori- tized list of source categories for NSPS promulga- tion over a ten year period based on a multipollu- tant source category emission analysis. Because the programs are computerized, the prioritized source category listing can be regenerated without great difficulty to reflect additional source catego- ries or revised source category data.

Results are presented of work on two different lake areas, each a recreational focus for a large city in Alaska. The productivity of these lakes has been classified according to their morphoedaphic index (MEI). This is the ratio between an edaphic (effects due to soil) factor usually measured as total dissolved solids (total residues), and a mor- phometric parameter, namely mean depth. Shindler's model for a particular morphoedaphic index, which is the ratio of the area of the lake and its watershed to the lake volume, was applied to data taken at the Tanana Lakes near Fairbanks. The regressions of various algal growth param- eters with Schindler's index gave insignificant r's. This is likely due to the small variation in these pa- rameters between the lakes. It is also likely due to the fact that any morphoedaphic index is most likely to regress strongly with measurements of the total production of a trophic level from lake to lake, and algal production is only a fraction of total pri- mary production in these lakes.

This report assesses how the Federal Government can best advance productivity in state and local governments, and identifies the most promising Federal approaches available for doing so. Im- proved state and local productivity would promote the Federal interest by alleviating local fiscal dis- tress, strengthening the national economy, and im- proving the implementation of Federal grant pro- grams. The Federal Government can help state and local governments improve their productivity by (1) developing a general management improve- ment program to assist state and local govern- ments in executing innovative improvement pro- jects and to sponsor needed research and devel- opment of national interest, (2) making fundamen- tal changes in the grants system to remove nega- tive barriers and promote positive incentives for productivity improvements, and (3) establishing a strong Federal focal point for state and local pro- 173 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ductivity improvement to lead the entire Federal effort.

This report points out the problems that have hindered the effectiveness of the 208 program and problems being experi- enced by State and areawide agencies which do the planning. Although the program has had a number of accomplishments in a relatively short period of time, 208 planning has not been compre- hensive and it may take many years before the program can be fully effective in clearing up the Nation's waters.

A study of the relationship between census char- acteristics and fire rates was undertaken for five communities at the tract level. The five communi- ties were: Kansas City, MO; Syracuse, NY; Newark, NJ; Phoenix, AZ; and Toledo, OH. For each community, the population characteristic (percent of people in a given tract that have a specified trait), and the housing characteristic (per- cent of housing units in a given tract that have a specified trait) most highly related to fire rate activi- ty were chosen for analysis. Results were summa- rized separately for each community and, where possible, high risk areas were identified by map analysis. It is hoped that fire officials and other local authorities will be able to utilize the results of this study by concentrating their fire prevention ef- forts in particular neighborhoods where specific in- spection programs, code enforcement, and public education efforts would appear to have the highest probability of effectiveness.

Based on preliminary findings from an Urban Insti- tute and National Fire Protection Association joint effort, an analysis of fire rate variation by census characteristics was undertaken. An intra-communi- ty analysis at the tract level was developed and tested on four communities that participated in the original UI-NFPA effort. Based on the variation ex- plained by population and housing characteristic models, results were consistent for two fire rate measures. The methodology developed was fur- ther tested with five additional communities, and results were strongly reinforced. An inter-commu- nity analysis at the tract level was then undertaken for the nine communities. It was found that for two census characteristics (i.e., undereducation and high school education) the effect on fire rate activi- ty was similar among the nine communities. An analysis of fire rates and census characteristics at the tract and block group levels was undertaken for Seattle, Washington. Results indicated real dif- ferences in explanatory power with the tract level rendering significantly stronger relationships than the block group level.

Keywords: "Rapid transit railways, "Urban devel- opment, "Disadvantaged groups, Land use, Urban transportation, Elderly persons, Handicapped per- sons, Ethnic groups, California, Bay Area Rapid Transit, San Francisco(California). The report examines the land use and urban devel- opment impacts that the 71 mile Bay Area Rapid Transit System has had to date on the transporta- tion disadvantaged. Three special population groups are the focus of analysis - ethnic minor- ities, the elderly and handicapped. These groups are of special concern for transportation planning and policy because of either low-income status or mobility related impairments. Findings are reported from the investigation of six issues related to BART's impacts for the transportation disadvan- taged in terms of population distribution effects, residential location decisions, and station area neighborhood level impacts. Evaluation of these findings is made in the context of the level, nature, and degree of equity in the incidence of BART's economic impacts. Based on the findings of the study, the land use implications for the transporta- tion disadvantaged of a regional rapid rail transit investment are presented in terms of policy con- siderations for other areas in which similar systems may be considered.

The sewage treatment plant of the city of Hagers- town, Maryland-a manufacturing city with about 130 industrial firms, which are classified in more than 25 different product categories-receives for treatment domestic sewage and a diversity of in- dustrial waste and process waters. Some of these industrial wastewaters exert high immediate and ultimate oxygen demands that could not be satis- fied by the treatment plant. Therefore, certain methods of 'pretreating' the city's combined wastewaters to render these waters more amena- ble to treatment by the existing treatment plant were tried and evaluated. The pretreatment meth- ods tested were intended to assist the plant in meeting the oxygen demands by providing initial oxidation. The methods were: diffuse aeration with and without the addition of waste activated sludge, chlorination, addition of sodium nitrate, and the ad- dition of potassium permanganate. Ammoniation was also tried in an effort to destroy some of the more noxious industrial materials in the wastewaters. Both aeration and chlorination proved to be effective methods of pretreatment, with the efficacy of aeration being enhanced somewhat by the addition of waste activated sludges. Both methods increased the BOD5 re- moval efficiency of the plant under dry-weather conditions from less than 70% to better than 90%.

The five major capacity building needs identified in this study were fiscal, staffing, planning, citizen participation, and intergovernmental coordination. The major causes of each capacity building need and the resulting capacity building gaps are sum- marized. One important finding is that most capac- ity building gaps can be reduced without large ad- ditional expenditures of taxpayers' money or creat- ing additional bureaucratic units in government. The study clearly demonstrates that rural commu- nities must be willing to sacrifice a certain amount of autonomy for gains in viability. The discussion centers on types of actions that, in the view of the authors, should be considered by rural local gov- ernments, state governments and the Federal gov- ernment, to cope with major capacity building gaps identified in the study. Recommendations are con- cerned more with approaches to strengthen the in- stitutional and resource capability network than with specific actions to be taken in individual pro- gram areas.

The study of rural areas addresses both the inter- nal demand of local citizens for improvements in community assistance and services and the demand by higher levels of government which are being placed on local communities. Rural commu- nities are increasingly required to implement pro- grams mandated by state and federal govern- ments with inadequate resources and information to carry out their responsibilities effectively. This study also addresses available institutional and re- source capabilities to meet community needs. In- formation and data used in this study were ob- tained from personal interviews conducted with 93 local officials and 344 community leaders in eight rural areas of Virginia in 1 977. Samples of the sur- veys used in this study are included. Community structure, and characteristics of local officials and community leaders were found to be important fac- tors in identifying the needs and services of rural communities and relationships of such needs and services to institutional and resource capabilities. The top three community needs were engineering and public works, industrial development, and rec- reation. PB-289 900/3 PC A04/MF A01 Brussels Univ. (Belgium).

In the report the concept of 'order by fluctuation,' that has appeared recently in physico-chemical and biological systems, is applied to tl e descrip- tion of urban growth. It is shown that fluctuations play a vital role in the evolutionary process of urban growth. The evolution of a complex system cannot be known simply by studying deterministic equations describing the system. It is necessary, in addition, to study the effects of fluctuations, or his- torical accident, which can drive the system to new modes of behavior. Taking account of both the de- terministic elements of urban growth and the ap- pearance of innovations at chance locations in an economic region, a transportation-sensitive dy- namic model of the evolution of the organization of urban centers and the evolution of the spatial dis- tribution of urban populations was developed.

The paper attempts to construct a procedure for finding information regarding the distributional gain per dollar of transfer. An aggregate benefits func- tion is posited that values income gains of a recipi- ent family more the worse off a family is. The extent to which three alternative programs for re- distributing income-negative income tax, public employment, and minimum wages-raises the benefit function per dollar of cost to taxpayers or consumers is measured. Comparison of these benefit cost ratios yields information on the relative efficiency of each way of redistributing income under various assumptions about the form of benefits function and social costs. Some tentative conclusions were reached. Among the three pro- gram alternatives, negative income taxes generally get the highest relative ranking. But because of some labor supply reduction and a fair amount of income support for families with reasonably high permanent incomes, negative income taxes are not always the most efficient of the three pro- grams. At least at modest cost levels, low tax rate plans usually outperform high tax rate plans. Re- garding the labor market programs, public employ- ment generally performs better than minimum wages. Minimum wages for family heads do appear to redistribute some income, at no budget cost and at a relatively low social cost, but are not nearly as effective per dollar of this low social cost as are other methods of redistribution.

The study was concerned with the improvement of lane occupancy and parking signs. New designs were developed and tested. Experimental subjects viewed slides of the signs and judged whether the sign permitted certain lane occupancy or parking maneuvers. The effectiveness of each sign type was determined by the speed and accuracy of the subjects' responses. Fixed schedule lane occu- pancy signs were found to be ineffective, and per- haps dangerous. They gave an unacceptably high error rate, and subjects required over twice as long to interpret these signs as equivalent changeable message signs. The most successful lane occu- pancy signs showed occupancy status below the notation 'right', 'center' or 'left' lane. The concept was tested that drivers would be better able to un- derstand complex parking signs if information was arranged by time. On the average, time-referenced signs showed three-fourths the errors of the equiv- alent conventional signs now on the road. Rules were suggested for the improvement of parking- standing signs.

Transshipment models were constructed, examining three wheat varieties: hard red spring, hard red winter, and soft red winter. The models permitted two types of movements from producing to consuming areas-direct movements or movements through river transshipment points. This allowed the models to choose between barge transportation and competitive modes. Consuming regions were comprised of domestic milling points and foreign countries. Exports to any given point were allowed to move through any of several U.S. ports, depending upon relative transport costs. This gave the models a great deal of flexibility in the export sector, which is critically important for barge transportation of wheat. Data used included 1970-71 wheat production and consumption, and 1975 barge and rail rates, truck costs, and han- dling costs for each mode. User charges were based on 1974 operation and maintenance costs of the inland waterway system and 1974 barge ton-miles. Base solutions were obtained for each of the models, and then each was run with user charges recovering from 25 to 500 percent of annual operation and maintenance.

Also included in the Project was a new park'n'ride lot and deluxe buses for the transit service. All of the priority tech- niques proved to be highly successful in improving the quality of transit service, particularly in terms of travel time advantages. However, the cost of sev- eral of the priority treatment strategies was quite high, both to implement and to operate. The bene- fits derived were in terms of reductions in vehicle miles per person, and total passenger hours per person in the corridor. Economic analyses were conducted to determine the economic viability of the transit service, the cost trade-off for express transit users and the total system cost effective- ness.

The paper outlines the scope, limits and purpose of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program formulated from the passage of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977. The bill charges the President with establishing such a program with both long and short run objectives. This paper is a fulfillment of that commitment. A reduction program is outlined, aimed at reducing the disaster potentialities and realities from earth- quakes. The thesis centers around the conclusion that the proper balance between cost-effective hazard reduction programs and reconstruction relief must be ascertained so as to mitigate both the tragedy from the disaster and the unnecessary costs from poor planning. To accomplish the goal of reducing the risks to both life and property from earthquakes, the Program emphasizes: leadership in the private and public sectors; partnership among state, local and federal level agencies; a national program of implementation through Con- gressional legislation in the areas of prepared- ness, warning, building specifications, loan and grant incentives for risk reduction and more thor- ough research.

The multi-County Mid-Ohio Valley Region comprises a local economy whose characteristics are unique from surrounding areas. Three related subjects have been examined in this comprehensive study of the regional economy. There is the need for a more systematic process of using the financial resources available for econom- ic development in the region. Such funds are limit- ed, and therefore, it becomes imperative to under- stand what types of industries would most likely be attracted to the area, given the region's locational attributes.

The report is a result of a study of the Mid-Ohio Valley Region. It is divided into sections describing the quantity and quality of housing in the area. Sev- eral factors (ownership, unit size, rent, value, etc.) have been investigated. The pattern of housing characteristics, as well as development and popu- lation characteristics, in the region can be partly traced to the fact that construction on the slopes and hilltops is not as easily accomplished as on level areas. The availability of resources also has influenced the growth and development of the region. Nodes of settlement and economic activity developed through the region where a combina- tion of accessibility, business potential and re- source availability encouraged their development. Housing conditions are a reflection of the econom- ic activity, environmental factors, and sociological characteristics within the area.

The productivity incentive effects of the New York State aid formula grants to local government are examined. A questionnaire dealing with grant for- mula classifications and restrictions was mailed out to Budget Directors in the remaining 49 states (other than New York State). Eight state-aided local services were surveyed including health, lab- oratory services, construction of solid waste man- agement facilities, school transportation, drug abuse services, high school equivalency prepara- tion, community colleges, public libraries, and re- habilitation of adolescents. The purpose of this survey is to determine which of the 49 other states administer any of the respective state-local aid programs, to accumulate the relevant data in order to develop a methodology for a future in-depth analysis, and to analyze the cross-state variations in grant formulas and funding, with the objective of introducing productivity incentives into state-local aid formulas. A five-part typology of state grant for- mulas was created in order to facilitate the analy- sis: Open-ended matching grants in which the state matches local program expenditures in a pre- determined ratio, with no ceiling on total reim- bursement levels; closed-end matching grants in which the state matches local expenditures in a predetermined ratio, up to some ceiling allotment specified by formula; lump sum appropriation in which the state allocates a fixed sum to each local- ity; competitive grants in which the state allocates funds to localities on a project basis; and shared taxes in which localities receive some fixed propor- tion of a particular revenue source.

Two combinations of experimental advance warn- ing and crossing signs were developed for use at passively controlled rail-highway grade crossings. Each combination was installed at three sites for a total of six experimental sites. New conventional signing was installed at four additional sites. 'Before' and 'after' studies measured the effective- ness of two control changes; 'as is' conventional to upgraded conventional and upgraded conven- tional to experimental. Effectiveness was meas- ured using motorist interviews, observed brake light applications, and spot speed studies. Upon comparison of before and after studies, an in- crease was noticed at all experimental sites in 'Signs' (either advance or crossbuck) as a reason for awareness. All increases except one were sta- tistically significant. Differences in responses to experimental signs were noticed when the signs were considered together (advance and cross- buck) and in combination with other responses. It was found that the experimental signs using bril- liant yellow green Scotchlite were more noticeable than the other combination of experimental signs. Other changes include a reduction in the variance of spot speeds at nine out of ten sites, and an in- crease in the percentage of motorists to apply brakes at seven out of seven sites. From the re- sults, it was implied that all control changes in- creased awareness of the crossings. 180 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-292 246/6 PC A08/MF A01 National Engineering Lab.

Public and private concern about the potential for lead poisoning in children due to the ingestion of lead-based paint chips has resulted in a Federally sponsored program to develop technologies by which the lead-based paint hazard may be elimi- nated from the nation's housing. The nature and design of the Experimental Hazard Elimination Program (EHEP) is thought to be unique in that it permitted the costs of the alternative lead paint abatement techniques to be rigorously analyzed. The focus of this report is on the design, imple- mentation and analysis of EHEP and the cost infor- mation it produced. Statistical analyses which per- mitted the development of econometric models capable of estimating abatement technique costs and expected contractor markup are described. Structural equations relating changes in the values of certain key factors to variations in direct cost and contractor markup are also presented. Guide- lines, including a national deleading cost estimate, are given so that these econometric models can be used by municipal officials and building owners to estimate deleading costs as well as provide input to policy evaluation and formulation.

Recent experience has shown that the slowdown in the growth of motor fuel tax revenues and rapid inflation in transportation construction and oper- ations have created a serious challenge for states. The multi-modal trust fund would provide a method for expanding the fiscal base for transportation fi- nance while increasing the flexibility that transpor- tation planners have in their short- and long-term decision-making. This study analyzes the question of multi-modal trust funds in some detail. It pre- sents and discusses the methodology and results of a survey of State Departments of Transportation regarding their present financial position and policy stances on both the concept of a multi-modal trust fund and a variety of other State and Federal pro- posals for revising transportation financing and planning methods. Based on the thirty-six re- sponses, the concept of such a trust fund was viewed favorably, but the problems that it might raise and the political battles that such a plan would face made its enactment in most states highly unlikely. The respondents' views expressed strong support for the continuation of the Highway Trust Fund, but also that (a) a rapid completion of the Interstate Highway System was not a very high priority in many states, (b) greater flexibility in the use of Federal transportation assistance was needed, and (c) a stable, dependable source of Federal mass transit assistance received a strong mandate. The report provides conclusions regard- ing possible future policy changes in the transpor- tation finance area, and raises some questions that deserve further attention.

The Colorado Innovation Center (CIC) has com- pleted the second phase of its public-private tech- nological innovation program to provide problem- solving assistance to the city and county of Denver, city of Longmont, city of Englewood, city of Aurora, city of Lakewood, and Boulder County. During 1977-1978, CIC has identified over 180 technical problems and has acted upon 70. Esti- mates collected to date by the Denver Research Institute indicate that direct cost-saving and cost- avoidance benefits derived from the program amount to at least $1,300,000. Indirect benefits range from graduate students gaining experience in technology transfer, on-the-job accidents for firemen being reduced, and city officials having direct access to recently developed technology. The problem-solving actions have ranged from evaluating bullet-proof vests for police depart- ments, to redesigning malfunctioning traffic signal devices, to assisting the Denver Police Depart- ment and the cities of Aurora and Englewood in solving computer problems and the city and county of Denver in developing strategies to combat air pollution. Of the 180 problems, 23 have been iden- tified as being common to most of the cities and counties participating in the CIC. Five problems have been identified as high priority: efficient com- puter utilization; street maintenance and patching; soil stabilization; methane in landfills; and applica- tion and removal of markings and paint from streets and airport runways.

A decade has passed since the Office of Manage- ment and Budget established a circular for uniform cost principles to be applied by all Federal agen- cies to grants and contracts with State and local governments. Unfortunately, many Federal agen- cies and grantees do not adhere to these princi- ples. Instead, they continue to apply nonstandard and often inappropriate methods of determining or charging costs to grants and contracts. The Feder- al Government, therefore, does not always know if costs are properly charged, and many grantees cannot be sure that they are identifying, for possi- ble recovery, costs of operating Federal programs. To protect the financial interests of all concerned, an agreed-upon set of cost principles must be ap- plied. Therefore, the Office of Management and Budget must revise its circular on this subject for 182 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT clarity and purpose and must actively press for its use. Federal agencies must improve their day-to- day administration of the circular. PB-292 641/8 PC A03/MF A01 General Accounting Office, Washington, DC. Com- munity and Economic Development Div.

The Coast Guard has had some success in detect- ing and capturing drug smugglers on the high seas. For the most part, this is attributed to its cutters, aircraft, and electronics gear being superior to the equipment used by smugglers and its strategy of concentrating surveillance on areas through which smugglers must pass. The Coast Guard needs to establish a drug enforcement goal to use in meas- uring its effectiveness and in determining its re- source needs. It also should improve its training of personnel and communication with other law en- forcement agencies. PB-292 655/8 PC A03/MF A01 General Accounting Office, Washington, DC.

The National Park Service uses contingency re- serves obtained for emergency purposes and un- foreseen events to pay for a variety of routine pro- jects not specifically considered by the Congress. In fiscal 1977, for example, the Service obtained $10 million for contingencies from the operations appropriation but used about $7 million, or 70 per- cent, for projects that could have been reasonably estimated and justified to the Congress through the normal budget review process. The Service usually requests construction funds for projects that have not progressed to the firm design stage where a reasonable cost estimate can be made. As a result, the requested amount usually includes large contingency reserves to cover additional costs. GAO believes that the Park Service's method of obtaining contingency reserves without adequate disclosure to the Congress is unaccepta- ble and should be discontinued. This report recom- mends actions the Service and the Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies can take to elimi- nate or minimize the need for reserves. This report was requested by the Chairman, Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies, House Committee on Appropriations.

The report looks at the reductions in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and air pollution that can be ac- complished with voluntary transportation control measures. The measures studied are carpool/van- pool programs and preferential highway lanes for buses and other high occupancy vehicles (HOVL). The report examined transportation control pro- grams in four major metropolitan areas to analyze what factors affect the programs' effectiveness. Based on empirical data and use of a computer model, the report predicts that carpools, vanpools, and HOLV's may reduce car use 2-3% and save travelers millions of dollars. The costs of these programs are generally small compared to their benefits, except where new highway lanes are built for use as potential lanes. However, the study con- cludes that major reductions in air pollution may not be accomplished unless mandatory traffic con- trols are also used. The study also describes how people travel to work in 124 major metropolitan areas and includes case studies of carpool, van- pool and HOVL programs in use in both urban and less-densely populated areas.

The report is a long range planning study that was prepared to assist the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) in its planning to meet the mobility needs of the American population in the coming decades. The authors have identified a number of important societal forces and consid- ered reasonable scenarios based upon those forces, with particular attention to the implications for the mobility of people in the public sector. Based upon considerations of (1) population growth and dispersion, (2) energy costs and avail- ability, (3) technological advances, and (4) eco- nomic conditions, the report concludes that urban decentralization is likely to continue through the year 2000. Therefore, UMTA must accept and sup- port to a greater extent than presently innovative uses of the automobile and paratransit modes as the most efficient mode for most urban area trips. At the same time, existing conventional transit sys- 183 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT terms in dense areas must continue to be support- ed. But a major opportunity exists for UMTA to sup- port a total efficient transportation system in a low- density environment.

Phase I of the Danville, Illinois, Service and Meth- ods Demonstration Project has been a successful demonstration of the user-side subsidy concept. The purpose of the demonstration was to test the use of this kind of subsidy on a shared-ride taxi service for handicapped and elderly persons. The evaluation report presents time series and survey data analysis on the workability, cost-effectiveness and impacts of the project during Phase I. It is based on analysis of data collected by the city of Danville's Department of Planning and the three taxicab companies involved in the project. In addi- tion to the data, the observations and opinions of individuals in these and other local organizations have been incorporated herein. The user-side sub- sidy implied that the user was directly subsidized rather than a public or private operator of the serv- ice. Consequently, the operator was required to seek out and serve the needs of the user in order to receive the subsidy. Project levels of service were very good, including the fact that service was available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at an average user discounted payment of $.31 per trip. Members of the target group and general public have responded very favorably to the project. UMTA and the Project Staff are now planning an expansion of the demonstration to include a user- side subsidy for all persons on privately operated regularly scheduled fixed-route service.

Studies on the social and cultural contexts of aging are described in this anthropological report. It is pointed out that the experience of aging differs sig- nificantly from one society to another and within a single society. These experiences are based on differences in ethnic backgrounds, socio-econom- ic status, and family variations. In a cross cultural perspective on aging, five diverse cultures which span a combination of societal types ranging from rural-agrarian to the urban-industrial are examined: the Chagga of Tanzania, rural Yugoslavia, the Net- zahualcoyotl on the outskirts of Mexico City, elder- ly Jews of Venice, California and Mexican Ameri- cans of East Los Angeles. As a result of these studies, three common themes emerge from these different settings and are discussed individually. They are continuity, roles defined by sex, and aging as a career. Implications of this study for policies concerning the aged are summarized. PB-292 972/7 PC A08/MF A01 City-Wide Development Corp., Dayton, OH.

In an effort to develop a pollution-free system for the economic utilization of municipal solid waste (MSW), the Purox process was investigated. This report presents an evaluation of a pilot plant, con- structed by the Union Carbide Corporation in Charleston, West Virginia, for the purpose of intro- ducing the Purox system for the pyrolysis of MSW on a commercial scale. The system is a slagging fixed bed gasifier which employs oxygen to effect a partial combustion of the carbonaceous residue that sifts to the hearth of the shaft furnace. Liberat- ed heat acts as a thermal driving force for the en- dcthermic pyrolysis of solid waste in the mid sec- tion of the furnace and for drying and preheating the charge in the upper portion. Of medium heating value, the gas is composed of approximately 50 percent carbon monoxide, 30 percent hydrogen, 15 percent carbon dioxide, and 5 percent hydro- carbons. The report includes a description of the pilot plant, early operating experience, and current operation. Demonstrating the technical feasibility of the process, the results confirm the projections of capacity oxygen demand and product quality. Some minor operational problems remain to be re- solved.

This is a report on work accomplished as part of Phase 2 of a project to design a pollution-free system for the economic utilization of municipal solid waste with emphasis on the conditions and requirements of New York City. It specifically deals with the economics of Purox Gas Utilization in the development of an integrated system. The prime reason given for considering the installation of a Union Carbide Oxygen Refuse Converter (Purox System) is the credits realized from the gas pro- duced during pyrolysis. Advantages of such a system are described in terms of the various uses to which the gas can be diverted. These include utilization of the Purox gas in existing boilers and diversion to gas turbines. The use of gas turbine generation for power generation is well estab- lished, but the size of the installation is important in determining costs. Results of a trade-off study made to determine the most economic way of using Purox fuel gas is presented. The report eval- uates self-support power generation, costs of gas turbine power generation and gas transmission by pipeline. Included are tables and figures showing evaluation of, investment and operating costs for self support power, gas turbine specification and selection, and investment and operating costs for gas turbine installation.

The possible impact of areawide residential loca- tion policy on future residential electricity usage in the Tri-State Metropolitan Region centering on New York City is investigated. This paper presents a brief overview of the common features, orienta- tion, and behavior of the prominent environmental interest groups that participate in decision-making in energy in the New York area. The account also summarizes the characteristics of the regulatory process that bias decisions in favor of the utilities and industrial concerns to the disadvantage of the newer environmental participants. Environmental interest groups in the New York area are divided into two broad 'ideal types': 'crisis-activated inter- est groups', relatively short lived organizations, whose concerns are immediate and limited to spe- cific issues within a geographic area, and 'institu- tionalized interest groups', relatively stable and permanent associations, whose concern in region- al energy issues develops out of a broad compre- hensive interest in environmental matters. Find- ings indicate that 'crisis-activated' groups tend to have specific impacts (primarily negative) with re- spect to policy decisions.

The possible impact of areawide residential loca- tion policy on future residential electricity usage in the Tri-State Metropolitan Region centering on New York City is investigated. At the outset this project was devoted to testing a number of hypoth- eses: that the growth of the electric energy supply in New York was likely to fall short of demand be- cause of insufficient generating capacity, that the resulting effects might make a case for relaxing en- vironmental standards, that management of supply would be essential, and that governmental proc- esses were not dealing effectively with the prob- lem. The energy crisis, though, has changed the hypotheses. The limits to the power supply are much more likely to be a function of the price of fuels, and there is a much greater price elasticity of demand for electricity than was initially expected. Thus, in midstream this project changed its focus to the consequences of higher electricity prices in terms of electricity use, residential location, and economic development. It has produced estimates and projections of effects which have policy impli- cations, but not policy answers. PB-293 092/3 PC A02/MF A01 Illinois House Republican Staff, Springfield.

The document presents the twelfth annual report of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Au- thority. The financial statements cover Fiscal Year 1978, the narrative covers calendar year 1978. The Metro service was extended into Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Service to Silver Spring and New Carrollton added 13 miles and nine stations to the operating system, for an oper- ating total of 28.4 miles and 34 stations. Bus routes were coordinated with the expanding rail service to avoid costly duplication of transit serv- ice. Combined annual transit trips increased by 10 million, or 4.4 per cent, over 1977. Rail hours were extended to midnight and began Saturday service. Of the planned 101 -mile, 86-station system, there are now 60.7 miles and 61 stations operating, completed, or under construction. The remainder is in various stages of planning and design. The Alternatives Analysis, completed this year, recon- firmed the need to complete the 100-mile system plus one additional mile. The proposed financial plan, based on the 101 -mile system, covers the balance of construction, operating costs, and debt service on Metro revenue bonds. At year end, ex- tensive activity was underway to win necessary agreements on the plan. PB-293 319/0 PC A05/MF A01 Massachusetts Univ., Amherst. Univ. Center for Economic Development.

Traditionally hydrologic, climatic, and soils data were used to determine economic viability of farm- land. Alone, however, these criteria do not define prime agricultural soils. Farm location relative to agribusiness, proximity of farms to other farms, level of farm investment, farm land ownership, and land capability also influence the economic viabil- ity of agricultural land. Another group of factors af- fecting farm viability are those pressures on the land which encourage convrsions to nonfarm uses. This pressure often shows itself in escalating cost for land, rising property taxes, and the appearance of more intensive land uses in formerly rural areas. The objective of this project was to develop a system for evaluating the economic viability of ag- ricultural lands located in the New York and Ver- mont towns adjacent to Lake Champlain. It is de- signed in such a way that local authorities in any community could use the classification for local planning purposes. PB-293 507/0 PC A03/MF A01 Department of Commerce, Washington, DC.

The volume employs the analytical and empirical methods of economics to develop hypotheses on disease etiologies and to value labor productivity and consumer losses due to air pollution-induced mortality and morbidity. In the mortality work, 1970 city-wide mortality rates for major disease categor- ies have been statistically associated with aggre- gate data from sixty U.S. cities on physicians per capita, per capita cigarette consumption, dietary habits, air pollution and other factors. The estimat- ed effect of air pollution on mortality rates is about an order of magnitude lower than some other esti- mates. Nevertheless, rather small but important associations are found between pneumonia and bronchitis and particulates in air and between early infant disease and sulfur dioxide air pollution. The morbidity work employed data on the generalized health states and the time and budget allocations of a nationwide sample of individual heads of household. For the bulk of the dose-response ex- pressions estimated, air pollution appears to be significantly associated with increased time being spent acutely or chronically ill. Air pollution, in addi- tion, appears to influence labor productivity, where the reduction in productivity is measured by the earnings lost due to reductions in worktime.

VHTRC- 78-R33 Keywords: "Motorcycles, Highway transportation, Regulations, Public opinion, Insurance, Mopeds, Vehicle registration, Speed limits. The basic issut concerning mopeds is whether they should be considered as being bicycles - and, basically, be free of regulation, or as motorcycles - and thus be subject to all regulations applicable to motor vehicles. In an effort to resolve this issue, European accident data, Virginia crash data, the laws of several of the states, the position taken by a number of the major transportation related orga- nizations, and public opinion were reviewed. In terms of crash, injury, and fatality data, mopeds are more like motorcycles than bicycles. The laws of the various states lack a uniform approach in dealing with mopeds as a form of transportation. Both organizational and public opinion tend to sup- port some type of regulation, but there is little agreement on the specific areas in which there is a need for regulation and how comprehensive this regulation should be. From the review made for this study, it is recommended that a separate cate- gory of vehicles be established for mopeds, as they are neither bicycles nor motorcycles. It is fur- ther recommended that the vehicles be registered, that their operators be licensed, that maximum al- lowable speed and horsepower be increased to 30 mph and 1.5 bhp, and that liability insurance be made available for purchase by moped owners.

As with other forms of urban infrastructure, public mass transit systems can alter the spatial distribu- tion of urban property values. The magnitude of this effect is likely to be highly parcel-specific, and changes in real estate values may occur both prior to and after a transit system's construction. The report describes a series of econometric models of real estate values estimated for parcels in Wash- ington, DC, over the period of the Metro system's development. Separate models are estimated for single family dwellings, multi-family structures and retail stores. Access to the transit system and the implementation schedule of Metro are both found to be significant determinants of parcel transaction prices. Studies of five separate transit stations are described. For each case study, results and fore- casts of property value changes under different conditions are given.

The report analyzes the reasons un- derlying BART-bus and BART-automobile travel choices in the key transbay travel corridor linking San Francisco and Oakland. Travel modes are de- fined in terms of 14 service attributes including quantifiable attributes such as travel time and cost, and more difficult-to-quantify attributes such as de- pendability and safety. Disaggregate models which relate mode-choice probability to perceived satis- faction with the alternative modes are estimated using data for the 14 attributes collected by se- mantic differential scales. Several different models are estimated and compared for BART-bus and BART-auto choices, for work and nonwork trip pur- poses, for geographic stratifications of the data, and using linear and logit functional forms. The models provide convincing explanations of mode choice behavior and show that travel time and travel time-related attributes such as dependability and flexibility are the dominant determinants of choice.

The Delmarva Technology Innovation Group was initiated in July 1976. The program was estab- lished to augment a mechanism into an existing rural economic development agency. This mecha- nism was proposed in the form of a technology transfer network that was to include the region's higher educational institutions, Federal research and development agencies within the tri-state area, and the Delmarva business community. The goal of DTIG's has been to develop more diversi- fied, higher quality and increased employment op- portunities. This goal is in direct response to a dis- turbing loss of the region's most valuable re- source, its young people who are leaving the area in search of employment elsewhere. With these goals in mind, three objectives were identified at the onset of the program. PB-294 058/3 PCA13/MFA01 California Assembly Committee on Local Govern- ment, Sacramento.

Aimed at gathering and systematizing existing knowledge as an aid to policy formulation and fur- ther research, this brief report on urban displace- ment provides a broad cross-sectional view of the problem. Urban displacement has come to the fore in connection with the relatively new phenomenon variously called gentrification, urban reinvestment, and private residential revitaiization. Simply, it in- volves the replacement of lower-income residents by more affluent households and the renovation of rundown housing in central urban neighborhoods. A review of the problem indicates that although it is growing across the nation, it is probably only a minor contributor to the overall displacement prob- lem. Data suggest that the number displaced an- nually is no higher than the low hundreds for most cities, and probably not in excess of the low thou- sands even in the most active cities such as Wash- ington, DC. Displacement can be triggered by many conditions in neighborhoods that are declin- ing or undergoing disinvestment as well as in those on the upgrade. The process is often subtle; in fact, by the time gentrification has become obvi- ous, many existing residents already may have been forced out by intolerable housing or neigh- borhood conditions, unaffordable increases in rents or taxes, or other problems. The chief cause no longer appears to lie in major public programs. Instead it is principally a private market phenom- enon stimulated by broad market forces which are eroding the supply of low- and moderate-income housing.

BULL-79-11 Keywords: 'Insurance, 'Local government, 'Nevada, Legislation, Courts of law, State govern- ment, Government employees. The need for liability insurance was created in 1 965 when the Nevada Legislature waived sover- eign immunity and adopted partial sovereign im- munity. Partial sovereign immunity allowed citizens wronged by a governmental action or omission to bring suit for monitary recovery for the wrongful action or omission except in specified circum- stances. State and local governments, no longer immune from tort actions, purchased liability insur- ance to replace the protection previously provided by sovereign immunity. However, in the past few years the availability and the premium requested has changed dramatically. This change caused the State of Nevada to forego the purchase of liability insurance and to self-insure in August of 1977. However, political subdivisions were not in a posi- tion to afford this luxury and the only viable means available to protect themselves against tort ac- tions was to purchase liability insurance. The 1977 Legislature enacted SCR 37 directing the Legisla- tive Commission to conduct a study of local gov- ernment liability and employee group insurance.

First, outpatient services are expensive and underutilized. Second, the private homes of pa- tients are not treated as valuable resources. Third, there are shortages in non-hospital residential care facilities. In addition to these service areas several questions are discussed concerning licensing and funding constraints. First, are additional licensing categories needed for the non-acute and sub- acute facilities, and if so, what are they. Second, do licensing regulations contain medical consider- ations which conflict with mental health goals. Third, should construction funds be provided by the state for more facilities. Fourth, are licensing and funding constraints preventing the develop- ment of appropriate community care facilities. Fifth, should community residential care rates be increased. Sixth, are delays in SSI and Medi-Cal eligibility determinations producing excessive hos- pital utilization. Seventh, should the state assume greater fiscal responsibility for the cost of adminis- tering the legal requirements of mental health.

The public fiscal accounting model estimates the required municipal property tax rate needed to bal- ance a town's budget at the end of a five-year de- velopment period. The model is designed to handle several successive five-year allocation pe- riods. The accounting model receives estimates of annual operating expenditures from the public ex- penditures model. The tax base section computes the total valuation of taxable property in each town of the eight towns. The revenue section of the model computes future intergovernmental transfer revenues and then establishes the required prop- erty tax revenues needed to add to estimated in- tergovernmental transfers in order to pay for the total annual expenditures estimated in the expend- itures section. The tax rate section of the model takes information generated by the tax base and revenue sections and computes both the as- sessed and equalized property tax rates required to generate needed property tax revenues. The output from the model includes descriptions of ex- penditures, revenues, tax base, and tax rates. PB-294 625/9 PC A08/MF A01 Connecticut Justice Commission, Hartford.

As a condition of this protection, however, the local governments in which flood- prone land is located must adopt various restric- tions on the use of land in the floodway and flood hazard areas. The North Carolina legislative center piece for authorizing local flood plain regulations is the Floodway Act. This act is deficient both in ter- minology and in scope of coverage. To remedy these deficiencies it is recommended that the Act's coverage be broadened to include flood hazard areas beyond the floodway, to include areas of coastal flooding, and to delete the uses permitted as of right in the floodway. State proper- ty must meet the federal requirements in order for the state to obtain insurance or to qualify as a self insurer. Statutory changes are suggested to meet these needs.

The report covers Portland, Oregon's Special Needs Transportation (SNT) project - the Lift - during its first year of operation. The purposes of this UMTA Service and Methods Demonstration (SMD) is to: (1) test a transit operator's ability to provide specialized service to handicapped and el- derly persons, and coordinate this service with the contracting social service agencies; (2) test the cost-effectiveness and value to social service agencies and users of the automated fare collec- tion equipment; (3) determine the demonstration's impact on the target group; and (4) assess the service's impact on the social service agencies which contract with the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (Tri-Met) for Lift service for their clients. The Portland demonstra- tion addresses three SMD objectives: (1) to in- crease the area coverage of transit services; (2) to increase the utilization (passengers per hour) of transit vehicles; and (3) to improve the mobility of transit dependents. The report presents time- series data as well as analysis of the project's workability, cost-effectiveness, and impact on all project participants. The report points out that the Lift service has raised public awareness concern- ing the problems of the transportation handi- capped. However, experience with the Lift so far, suggests that the major issue of the second year of this demonstration project is whether or not it is cost-effective for a transit operator to provide transportation to the elderly and handicapped market.

The report identifies definitional, institutional, and technical difficulties associated with developing Transit Performance Measures (TPM's) for use in evaluating public transit service. A survey is made of contemporary evaluation processes and is eval- uated in terms of their purpose. The procedures used by the Division of Mass Transportation of the California Department of Transportation in devel- oping its list of TPM's is described, as well as sug- gested methods for developing performance standards. The necessity for linking TPM's to fund- ing strategies is also discussed. The report recom- mends that further refinement and verification of the research methodology used in this research project is needed. It is pointed out that if public transit service evaluation can be developed effec- tively, it will greatly enhance the efficiency and ef- fectiveness of public transit service.

The general intent of the research was to conduct a practical framework which can be easily integrat- ed into the current urban transportation planning process and which can also be adapted to previ- ously established institutional arrangements with medium-sized metropolitan areas. For this, a sys- tems analytic approach was applied. Based on this approach, six specific tasks were undertaken to construct such a framework: (1) the identification of specific transportation objectives which can be achieved through various TSM strategies; (2) the construction of a set of TSM performance meas- ures or measures of effectiveness which are sensi- tive to TSM objectives; (3) the identification of a set of techniques to monitor the performance of TSM strategies; (4) the development of a decision rule which when given the TSM objectives, meas- ures of effectiveness, and strategies, can be used to evaluate overall performance of TSM strategies; (5) the testing of monitoring techniques for various TSM strategies; and (6) the development of an in- formation system for the collection, retention, and retrieval of TSM information.

Transportation Systems Management (TSM) de- notes a process designed to increase the efficien- cy of existing transportation facilities and re- sources by implementing low-capital measures which reduce the need for major capital improve- ments. In addition to fiscal economy, the TSM process insures that meaningful steps can be taken toward attaining broader local and national goals, which include: energy conservation; envi- ronmental improvements; equity for transit de- pendents; and urban preservation. Several factors strongly influence the conception of the TSM plan- ning process. First, TSM must be an integral part of some overall scheme or approach to transporta- tion planning in the region. Second, in order to be successful, TSM planning must conform to a key set of attributes or requirements. Third, and most important, the process must effectively generate results, because the process itself is not the end product. TSM planning must produce projects de- signed to meet preconceived goals and objectives in the most cost-effective and publicly acceptable manner. This report documents the TSM planning process in the St. Louis, Missouri region, and in- cludes TSM goals and objectives, planning pro- grams, projects and concepts, and project moni- toring.

BART, the 71 -mile Bay Area Rapid Transit System, serving San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and their suburbs, is the first regional-scale rapid transit system to open in the United States in over 50 years. This report is one of a series assessing the impacts of BART on transportation and travel in the Bay Area. The report analyzes the results of two travel surveys: (1) the May 1976 BART Pas- senger Profile Survey, an on-route self-completion questionnaire survey of 8,000 BART riders, and (2) the BART Impact Program May 1975 Areawide Travel Survey, a telephone interview survey of 1,000 individuals in the BART service area. The report presents information on the socioeconomic characteristics of BART, bus, and automobile trav- elers, the purposes and other characteristics of their trips, and the shares of areawide travel car- 192 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ried by the modes. BART's ridership is heavily ori- ented towards peak-period journeys to and from workplaces in central San Francisco and Oakland. Two-thirds of all BART trips are between home and work. The 588,000 BART trips made Monday through Friday for all purposes in May 1975 repre- sent a 2.4% share of all areawide trips. But BART's share of areawide trips between home and work is much higher; the 381,000 weekly BART work trips represent a 5.2% share of all weekly work trips. BART's trip market share is highest for very long trips. Of all work trips taking more than 55 minutes, BART carries 38.3%. PB-295 513/6 PC A04/MF A01 Columbia Univ., New York.

The report represents the second phase of a two- phase project designed to acquaint the planning community with the concept of transit malls and to provide information about three of the most impor- tant and interesting transit mall projects to a wider audience. The first phase of the study consisted of a site report: Streets For Pedestrians and Transit: Examples of Transit Malls in the United States (PB-278 487), which described the characteristics and histories of six transit malls. This second eval- uation phase is more analytic in nature and quanti- fies the benefits and disbenefits of the three major transit malls in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; in Min- neapolis, Minnesota; and in Portland, Oregon. The transit malls in each of these cities was first re- viewed in the site report. This evaluation is con- cerned with the impact of the three malls on pe- destrians, on transit service, on excluded or re- stricted general traffic, and on economic condi- tions, particularly on retail sales in the immediate vicinity of the mall. This report contains the results of analysis on the following topics: maintenance and construction costs; transit service improve- ment including bus speed, reliability, coverage, ca- pacity, ridership, productivity, and system under- standing; the level of service provided pedestrians and waiting transit patrons; environmental im- pacts; pedestrian and bicyclist safety; traffic diver- sion; parking; goods delivery; and economic im- pacts.

Estimates of the number of railroad and other trips that would be made in the corridor in 1980, 1990, and the year 2000 are made. Nine options for providing commuter trans- portation in the corridor were presented and evalu- ated in the terms of environmental criteria, quality of service, economic and financial factors, and special factors. The study recommends that the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend passenger service be continued. The study found that the South Shore is the most energy efficient, the safest, and fastest, and the least costly mode of commuter transportation in the corridor. In addi- tion, it does not increase the congestion of high- ways or parking problems in downtown Chicago. It has positive economic effects on and is essential to the efforts to decrease air pollution in the heavily industrialized area. Finally, the study found that the continuation of the South Shore would have posi- tive effects on recreation at the National Lake- shore Park and the proposed multimodal terminal at St. Joseph County airport.

Each military service has a child advocacy pro- gram for military families. However, inconsisten- cies in program regulations adversely affect pro- gram organization and management. Military in- stallations GAO visited had efforts underway to deal with child maltreatment problems. Most of these could be greatly improved if greater priority and resources were given to child advocacy. The Department of Defense should establish a small centralized group to develop consistent policies, organization, and management for the services' programs. This group should also develop educa- tional materials to help improve installation-level programs. Also, DOD should develop a single de- partmentwide policy concerning the collection and use of child maltreatment information.

Over the past few years, rising costs and limited budgets have encouraged transit authorities to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the services they provide. The Massachusetts Bay Transporta- tion Authority (MBTA) and the Tidewater Transpor- tation District Commission(TTDC) are among many properties interested in updating and improv- ing bus service evaluation programs. These pro- grams include a joint review of the state-of-the-art in bus service evaluation techniques across the country. This information will be used to develop bus service evaluation programs for both the MBTA and the TTDC. This report presents the re- sults of a literature review and survey of 71 transit properties in the United States and Canada re- garding the evaluation procedures currently in use. The focus of the study was to identify service per- formance indicators and criteria used to evaluate bus service on a route-by-route basis. Three types of evaluation indicators: service design measures; operating performance measures; and economic or productivity measures, were identified. The range of standards developed for each indicator are reported. Results are presented separately for transit properties owning less than 400 buses and for those owning more than 400 buses. Detailed appendices provide more complete information on the survey response. These appendices also pro- vide the transit operator and the regional transit planner with a compendium of a wide range of per- formance measures, descriptions of how they are used and how the needed data is collected, a list- ing of contact persons in each property, and de- tailed information on available literature.

Public authority to manage floodplains in the United States is fragmented among diverse politi- cal bodies: states, special district, counties, and municipalities. Each unit is vested with specific powers affecting the use of land and water re- sources within its boundaries. Differences in the plans, policies, and actions of individual entities give rise to adverse externalities affecting up- stream, downstream, and cross-stream interests. Flooding may be increased in stage, frequency, and rapidity due to constriction of the channel or floodplain. This reduces the effectiveness of flood- plain management efforts, both structural and non- structural in neighboring areas. Issues arising from incompatible floodplain practices concern: (1) management versus non-management; (2) struc- tural versus non-structural; (3) levels of protection; (4) compatibility of regulations; and (5) natural flood storage areas. The Charles River Watershed in Massachusetts is the scene of a complex ex- periment in intergovernmental floodplain manage- ment. PB-296 327/0 PC A07/MF A01 SCS Engineers, Long Beach, CA.

These locations use a wide vari- ety of collection equipment, from manual rear and side loaders to the latest in mechanical loading ve- hicles. Sources of information include municipal public works directors and solid waste superinten- dents, owners and managers of private collection firms, maintenance personnel, crew members, and equipment designers, distributors, and manufac- turers. The most important collection vehicle attri- butes influencing collection efficiency and cost ef- fectiveness were identified. A procedure for estab- lishing performance standards for each attribute was developed. Since each community or service area is unique, efficient refuse collection requires that equipment performance standards be tailored to local conditions. The user may determine these standards, based on local conditions, by using pro- cedures presented in this manual. PB-296 367/6 PC A03/MF A01 General Accounting Office, Washington, DC.

The report summarizes the objectives and results of research designed to assess the relationships between structural, attitudinal, and performance variables in 16 selected California public mass transit (fixed-route bus) systems representing var- ious sizes and organization types. The structural variables were organizational size, span of control, number of specialties, administrative intensity, for- malization, standardization, and centralization. Their relationship was analyzed with attitude varia- bles (job satisfaction and employee commitment) and organizational performance (service efficiency and effectiveness measures and employee with- drawal). Implications for the design of transit orga- nizations are also discussed. The most important result of this analyses is that the impacts of struc- tural variables upon employee attitudes and orga- nizational performance need to be assessed in an interactive framework. Several structural variables, when considered together or as influenced by some moderating variable may have more signifi- cant impacts on organizational outcomes than the impact of these same variables considered individ- ually.

Those parts of this 'rhetorical' program model having measurable objectives and testable linkages comprise a smaller 'evaluable' model. Step two conducts a 'rapid feedback' evaluation utilizing only data already existing and/or easily obtainable. Step three develops appropriate per- formance measures for each objective. Preliminary findings indicate that: (1) social 'programs' can be multidimensional as to require multiple evalua- tions; (2) program personnel find it difficult, but very useful, to detail program objectives and activi- ties; (3) Regional and State-local personnel hold somewhat different perspectives on the program; and (4) different types of programmatic data (proc- ess, output, outcome) are differentially available to key personnel at Regional, State, and local levels.

The report evaluates a joint venture project, Public Service Options (PSO). It was created to develop new options in the delivery of public services, and was undertaken by two Minneapolis organizations, the Upper Midwest Council and the Citizens League. The evaluations were obtained by collect- ing data from potential contractors, by monitoring meetings of the PSO organization, by conducting interviews with PSO staff, and by comparing PSO's achievements and accomplishments with officials of other cities. The evaluation was designed to measure the degrees to which institutional changes occurred and the relationship of these changes to the joint-venture effort; and whether the effectiveness of the approach was related to unique characteristics of the Twin Cities environ- ment, population or history that would make suc- cessful replication in another setting infeasible. The data evaluation indicated that there was an in- crease in contracting out of services among gov- ernment agencies; however, these changes were not particularly significant. Based on discussions with officials in Denver and Seattle, it appears that some of the strategies employed by PSO could be used in other areas of the country.

A review of the data regularly monitored under the surveillance element of the continuing, compre- hensive and cooperative transportation planning process is annually undertaken to provide a cur- rent picture of travel conditions in the Baltimore Region and the underlying social, economic, and developmental factors affecting travel. As part of this effort, trends and patterns in the use and per- formance of the transportation system are identi- fied as are trends and patterns in regional growth. The annual review is also undertaken to assess the implications of actual changes on future travel requirements. An investigation of the reasonable- ness of the projected patterns of growth used in simulating travel is conducted to determine wheth- er the forecasts are consistent with observed changes. This aspect of the review, not only illus- trates the types and magnitude of travel changes that could be expected if trends continue but pro- vides some insight as to whether modifications to the transportation plan and program are appropri- ate.

Keywords: "Fire extinguishing agents, "Hospitals, Patients, Fire tests, Fire safety, Effectiveness, Control, Hazards, Smoke, Health care facilities, Room fires. The Center for Fire Research is conducting a re- search program to examine the use of automatic sprinklers in patient rooms of health care facilities. This is an interim report of eight full-scale fire tests in which the effectiveness of automatic sprinklers was measured in terms of fire control and overall life safety. These fire tests simulated the scenario in which mattresses with bedding constituted the burning items. Analysis of test results indicate that prior to sprinkler operation, smoke obscuration reached critical levels in the burn room doorway and adjacent corridor such that rescue of patients in the burn room and the use of the corridor as an exit way would have been seriously impeded. Im- mediately following sprinkler operation, there was total obscuration from floor to ceiling throughout the corridor and lobby area. For several tests, a privacy curtain was installed between the sprinkler head and the bed and, despite the shielding action of the curtain, the overall cooling of the sprinkler spray prevented the fire from spreading to the combustible wall finish. However, the shielding action delayed extinguishment and the carbon monoxide concentrations increased significantly. In these cases it was estimated that the carboxy- hemoglobin level for a patient in an adjacent bed would reach levels considered hazardous. In other tests where the privacy curtain was not installed and this shielding did not occur, the estimated haz- ardous threshold was not reached.

Work on the disinfection of municipal sludge by treatment with energized electrons is reported. High flow rate studies (up to 70 GPM) at the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Boston and lab scale studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provided further microbiological, oper- ational, and economic information confirming the feasibility of the electron disinfection process. Ex- tensive survival-dose studies indicate that 400 ki- lorads is an adequate disinfection dose for both raw and anaerobically digested municipal sludges. Gram-negative bacteria including coliforms, sal- monellae, and shigellae are reduced to undetecta- ble levels and viruses by one to two orders of mag- nitude by this dosage, which has also been shown to render the eggs of parasites non-infectious. The degradation of trace toxic chemicals were studied in model systems ranging from pure water to pure lipid. PCBs and Monuron, a pesticide of the urea type, were totally destroyed by less than 50 kilor- ads in pure water. Hydroxyl radical attack, the pri- mary mechanism of such degradation, was shown to be severely inhibited by the addition of lipids al- though substantial degradation was still obtained at 400 kilorads in aqueous models containing 0.5 percent lipid material. It is felt that further experi- mentation is needed to determine the degree to which water-dissolved toxic chemicals would be reduced by electron disinfection of effluent wastewater and liquid sludge.

Keywords: "Handicapped persons, "South Caroli- na, "Meetings, Youths, Blindness, Auditory de- fects, Vocational guidance, Specialized training, Schools. The educational and vocational needs of deaf- blind pupils are rapidly changing as they mature. It appears that educational programs developed for many of these pupils may no longer be appropriate in order to prepare them for future sheltered or in- dependent employment in the community. As an initial attempt to meet these needs, a Pre-Voca- tional/Vocational Awareness Conference was sponsored by the Department of Education as an 200 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT expression of the Department's concern relative to the future needs of deaf-blind children. The pur- pose of the conference was to serve as a stimulus for long-range planning for the development of pre-vocational/vocational services and programs for deaf-blind youths. Conference participants in- cluded educators, vocational rehabilitation coun- selors and administrators from a variety of state/ private agencies and local school districts serving deaf-blind pupils including the Department of Vo- cational Rehabilitation, Department of Mental Re- tardation, School for the Deaf and the Blind, and the Commission for the Blind.

The report attempts to convey understanding of social and economic conditions on a county by county basis through the display of indicator data reflective of some of those conditions. It is similar to the '1976 and 1977' editions in format and con- tent with a few exceptions. The data in this edition was gathered almost entirely from sources inde- pendent of the decennial census. These sources were principally state agencies which permits the more frequent updating of the report with data as current as can be obtained. In the present format, every reasonable effort was made to eliminate shortcomings and errors of previous editions, and some improvements and refinements were made. The major indicator categories are the same as those developed for the 1976 edition, and similar to those of the 1972 edition. They are as follows: (1) Population, (2) Public assistance, (3) Housing, (4) Health, (5) Education, (6) Economics, (7) Social disorganization, and (8) Migrant. The data compo- nents of each indicator category are the same as in the 1976 edition with a few slight changes in content and format. PB-297 996/1 PC A05/MF A01 Idaho Univ., Moscow.

In implementing a methodology to ascertain the cost effectiveness of each activity area at the Hey- burn State Park, Idaho, the relative value of each activity was measured by the paid comparison method, and the preference-cost ratio or efficiency index for selected activities was determined by comparing the relative value of the activity with the management cost of providing the area for the ac- tivity. The four sets of activities measured were: (1) fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, camping, and picnicking; (2) dock fishing, boat fishing, and shore fishing; (3) water skiing, motorboat fishing, and mo- torboating; and (4) canoeing, sailboating, and mo- torboating. The relative values provide a measure of distance between activities of a set along a pref- erence scale, and preference-cost ratios identify where unequal resource allocations are occurring. In terms of preference/cost ratios hiking, boating, and fishing were the most efficient activities; the least efficient were swimming, picnicking, and camping. Although allocating more management money may lead to a more equitable distribution of 201 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT funds based on preference/cost ratios, it may or may not change the preference scale value for an activity.

Empirical studies indicate that land management activities contribute to adverse changes in both water quality and natural hydrology. These activi- ties are operations and maintenance functions basic to infrastructure, such as street sanitation and repair, snow removal, maintenance of parks, catchbasins and sewers, and pesticide use. This study provides insights into institutional constraints to land management for avoiding adverse water resource effects. Specifically, research relates to: (1) adaptability of land management functions to new goals; (2) relationship of an inability to estab- lish liaisons with environmental concerns and role perceptions, organizational attributes, and man- power; (3) viability of 'networking' existing agen- cies for new goals for water resource goal imple- mentation via land management. The method used was an interview questionnaire to 36 officials in 17 localities in the Lower Hudson and secondary data to discern awareness and perception of water resource planning and regulatory programs, per- sonal background and technical procedures.

This project concerns the study of an unusually strong infrared-induced compaction of poorly set- tling sludges observed at Macon GA's Rocky Creek wastewater treatment facility. In attempting to study the phenomenon, it was noted that the degree of settling induced by infrared radiation at Macon was not as pronounced as it had been in the past. In spite of this difficulty, it was discovered that the phenomenon has two components-that which is induced by heat alone and that which is induced by the irradiation alone. Furthermore, the phenomenon is generally observed in poorly set- tling sludges during the early stages of bulking. It is not present during the later stages of ordinary bulk- ing when the overgrowth of filamentous organisms effectively blocks compaction. Other finds were: (1) IR wavelengths of 2200-2300/cm seemed to be the most effective; (2) Irradiated sludge, when resuspended, settled better than untreated sludge; (3) Added polyelectrolytes vastly improved settling regardless of irradiation; and (4) Lignosulfonate, a major constituent of pulpmill wastes, had little effect on the phenomenon.

The handbook is one of several substantial out- comes of the Pennsylvania Department of Com- munity Affairs' Neighborhood Preservation Sup- port System (NPSS). This new effort was DCA's recognition of the importance of neighborhoods in urban life. Cities cannot survive without a range of strong neighborhoods, yet during DCA's long his- tory of urban renewal activities the Department had not dealt with neighborhoods. A decision was made to change the utilization of some of the De- partment's 1976-77 housing and development funds. In addition, a strong supplement of techni- cal assistance was programmed for municipal gov- ernments and neighborhood groups involved in re- vitalizing neighborhoods. This process, would be more than just a physical rehabilitation of the neighborhood's houses. It would involve an as- sessment of the social and economic needs of the neighborhood as well as providing a base of over- all physical improvement. Development of a strong neighborhood group to aid in identifying and plan- ning the preservation activities is the fourth and most important element in the process. A strong focus was to be placed on creating 'partnerships' with neighborhood groups, the municipal govern- ment, and private market forces in a flexible coali- tion, assisting one another in preservation activi- ties.

The research was undertaken following testimony concerning highway safety, and more specifically narrow bridge problems, at hearings of the Sub- committee on Investigation and Review, Commit- tee on Public Works, U.S. House of Representa- tives. The objectives of the study were to define the narrow bridge problem, appraise effectiveness of corrective measures, and develop guidelines for corrective treatment at various bridge sites. A na- tionwide narrow bridge survey conducted as part of the project indicated that there may be as many as 60,000 highway bridges in the U.S. that are defi- cient in width. Field studies were conducted at 25 selected bridge sites in 7 states. Driver perform- ance in terms of speed and lateral position was de- termined for each site. Modifications of signing and delineation were made at several sites. Before- and-after accident experience was available for one section of road where corrective treatments had been applied to several narrow bridges.

It describes proposed definitions of public transportation level of service based on both system and rider attributes. The variation in public transportation quality as viewed by various user market segments is examined, and the sensitivity or demand elasticity to the various factors consti- tuting 'level of service' is then made. Finally, a pro- posed study methodology to evaluate the in- creased level of service provided to user groups in line with their perceived measures of service qual- ity is outlined.

Demographic changes will place an added emphasis on automated systems around the turn of the Century, and energy constraints may make electrically-powered systems more attractive. The passenger automobile will probably retain domi- nance of transportation; public tranportation sys- tems in urban areas will evolve into more complex, multi-element operations serving both downtown and the suburbs. Energy constraints may lead to added reliance on rail and bus travel for intercity runs. Cargo vehicles will make more sophisticated use of intermodal containers.

The report documents the process of state and local government consultation used in developing the new Department of Transportation (DOT) rural and small urban transit assistance program. Spe- cial emphasis is placed on four consultative trips, conducted during summer 1979, in which top DOT officials visited a number of innovative state and local operations. The groups consulted put a lot of emphasis on reducing red tape, and allowing suffi- cient flexibility in the program to reflect local condi- tions. This led to the evolution of an approach in which individual states would develop their own program management plan. Other issues highlight- ed included insurance costs, importance of coordi- nation, the need to simplify or waive labor protec- tion (13(c)) provisions, and technical assistance needs.

The report describes the implementation process and the early impacts of the Rochester Community Transit Service demonstration in four suburbs of Rochester, New York. The demonstration project is an outgrowth of an earlier one which ended in October 1977. The new demonstration will contin- ue until July 1 979. In the first demonstration, a vari- ety of demand-responsive services were operated in two Rochester suburbs - Greece and Ironde- quoit. In the new demonstration, the door-to-door dial-a-ride service was expanded in July 1978 to two additional suburbs - Brighton and Henrietta, and the handicapped service became a region- wide operation over a four-month period starting in July 1978. In addition, all four dial-a-ride service areas will eventually have computerized schedul- ing and dispatching using a dedicated minicom- puter. The new demonstration is largely concerned with two institutional innovations developed by the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Au- thority to deal with the problems of high operating costs and insufficient local funding availability. 204 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT These innovations are the use of a competitively selected private operator and the shifting of the funding responsibility to the suburban towns served by dial-a-ride.

Agricultural employment related housing falls into three distinct categories. These are housing for temporary occupancy by migrant farm workers, housing for permanent occupancy by full-time em- ployees and housing provided on plantations. The second and third categories are of the same gen- eral type but the crops harvested by plantation em- ployees are few and the methods of payment are similar. The types of agricultural employees who are provided permanent housing vary widely. In- cluded are employees with different skills within a single type of farm - foremen, machine operators, etc. - and different types of farms - crops, dairy cattle, beef cattle, etc. Thus, it was convenient to separate plantation employees to reduce the number of disparate sub-categories occurring in the second category. Data relating to housing camps have been collected from Federal agencies and from the several states. These data are de- scribed in the notebook.

Central community facili- ties have been constructed in the native villages of Emmonak and Wainwright to provide a safe water supply; toilets, bathing, and laundry facilities; and sewage and solid waste disposal. Although there has not been enough time to allow full operation and evaluation of these facilities, it is apparent that the technology is available to provide these basic utility services to the demonstration villages. A major issue still to be addressed is the lack of clear responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the facilities after the Environmental Protection Agency demonstration program is completed. Adequate local resources to operate the installa- tions are lacking.

Emphasis is given to economic analyses of processes of proven technical feasibility which lead to products having a market volume somewhat commensurate with the prodigious supply of mixed municipal refuse (MMR). The following processes are exam- ined and evaluated: accelerated composting; bio- chemical fractionation processes comprising acid hydrolysis of cellulose to sugars with subsequent fermentation to ethanol and to single-cell protein; and biochemical digestion of garbage-freighted sewage in conjunction with on site segregation and hydraulic collection of food waste. Major obstacles to the greater utilization of biochemical conver- sions are outlined. This paper limits its appraisal of biochemical conversion processes to the use of ethanol as industrial ethyl alcohol, the digestion of cellulose hydolysate derived from MMR into yeast protein for use as animal feed, and the biochemical oxidation of garbage-freighted sewage in modified sewage treatment facilities.

Problems, issues, and opportunities confronting state and local governments in the processes of technological development are discussed. Pre- 206 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT sented by prominent governmental leaders, edu- cators, and industrialists, the topics range from state and local policy considerations to specific programs for scientific exploration. Areas in ap- plied science are emphasized in order to counter- balance pure science investigations carried out in universities and private industry research installa- tions. Included are panel discussions on state gov- ernment in the technological age from the legisla- tive, federal and state administrative viewpoint, ap- proaches to implementation of state science and technology programs, and science program man- agement. Individual talks involve science and tech- nology in relation to economic development and social problems. The main problem noted is that of communication between academia, the politician, industry, and the people. An Atomic Energy Pro- gram (1959 amendment) stating that those states establishing competence shall achieve responsi- bility for this regulatory function, was chosen as an example worthy of support and a model to pursue. The establishment of a federal-state partnership was proposed to develop policy, provide council, and support both block and project grants.

A review of Fulton Ferry revitalization begins with an examination of the area's history, influential forces, proposed redevelopment schemes, and completed projects. This 17th-century settlement has changed from a prosperous shipping center to an isolated, deteriorating waterfront. Virtually every proposal to redevelop the area has received oppo- sition from political or community groups. Howev- er, small-scale private renewal has successfully renovated some buildings of architectural interest. After much debate, the region became the Fulton Ferry Historic District in June 1977. Other recent developments include a park, a floating restaurant, and the renovation of a 1926 fireboat house which now houses the Bridge Museum and the National Maritime Historical Society. If private and govern- ment interests cooperate, they would make Fulton Ferry a prototype revitalization area, an economic and cultural asset to all of New York City.

Next, the relationship of State real estate commissions to fair housing is described from two perspectives: (1) legal analysis of each State licensing law, other relevant State laws, and pertinent rules and regulations or administrative rulings; and (2) a nationwide survey of all real estate commissions in terms of statistics and other information regarding their volume of fair housing complaints, the extent of their authority in dealing with such complaints, and the number and types of actions taken in response to complaints. Finally, some legislative and administrative remedies are discussed, with specific attention to regulations designed to protect consumers and education ini- tiatives to keep them informed of their rights and the responsibilities of housing market operatives.

To provide HUD with an early assessment of the Section 8 Loan Management Set - Aside Program, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy De- velopment and Research conducted a reconnais- sance study of the program. Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended by Section 201 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, provides for housing assistance for low - income and moderate - income families. Eligible families pay up to 25 percent of their income toward rent and HUD pays the difference between that percentage and the fair market rent for a com- parable living unit in the area. The study included: (1) interviews with HUD personnel in 5 regional and 10 area or insuring offices; (2) site visits to 65 Section 8 assisted projects and interviews with their project managers or sponsors; (3) interviews with representatives of local governments and Public Housing Authority personnel; and (4) an analysis of all 522 projects assisted by 9 field of- fices. The resulting report is divided into three main sections. The first deals with the types of projects assisted under the Section 8 Loan Management program, while the second discusses the impact which the program is likely to have on assisted pro- jects and tenants, HUD field offices, Public Hous- ing Authorities, and communities. The final section discusses the processes of program development and implementation and their effect on the pro- gram's likely impacts. Tabular data are provided.

The 'sweat equity' approach to urban homestead- ing in New York City is described as a unique proc- ess for involving previously unemployed communi- ty residents in the restoration of abandoned multi- ple unit buildings in severely deteriorated neigh- borhoods. Following an overview of the existing housing and neighborhood conditions in the city, the nature and scope of sweat equity benefits are examined, along with the financing mechanisms and legal constraints on urban homesteading in New York, urban homesteading economics, and available organizational support for sweat equity. Further, the planning and construction phases of a sweat equity project are outlined from site selec- tion and preparation to architectural planning and cost estimating, and on to material acquisition and construction financing, supervision, and inspec- tion. Within the framework of the sweat equity ap- proach, each homesteader contributes a specified amount of voluntary labor during the construction phase; this construction establishes the home- steader's equity investment, hence the 'sweat equity' catch phrase. In the 3 - year history of the New York initiative, over $1.5 million in mortgage money has been committed for the rehabilitation of 151 dwelling units. The most significant benefit of the approach has been the production of sound housing at prices affordable to low - income 208 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT households. This was possible because the sweat equity process restores structures at approximate- ly half the cost of conventional rehabilitation by re- ducing most labor expenses, using below - market interest rate financing, taking advantage of tax abatements and low site acquisition costs, elimi- nating contractor's overhead and profits, and utiliz- ing recycled materials and reduced rate profes- sional services.

Publicly financed housing rehabilitation activities in Westchester County, N.Y., are reported. Twelve communities in the county have established reha- bilitation and preservation programs financed in part by the community development block grant program. Local officials are using community de- velopment funds to pay staff salaries, to provide low - interest loans and grants, and to deliver mu- nicipal services and public improvements in target areas. Bank involvement, negotiated on a countywide basis, has resulted in the availability of home improvement loans at below - market inter- est rates. A neighborhood focus supported the success of the local rehabilitation effort by select- ing target areas for rehabilitation activities and de- veloping rehabilitation program guidelines and neighborhood development plans. In designing an effective rehabilitation program, it was necessary to consider financing from both public and private sectors, development guidelines (program eligibil- ity, property rehabilitation standards, contractor selection procedures, rent and eviction regula- tions, and enforcement), program staffing and ad- ministration, and the support of housing rehabilita- tion through additional municipal programs and services (public information and community rela- tions, municipal improvements and services, and municipal tax policies). Case studies of the reha- bilitation program in three communities are de- tailed.

It is heavily referenced to the program regulations, and a full copy of the regulations, as published in the Federal Register, is included as an appendix for easy reference. The second section explores how a community should prepare for applying for NSA designation and how it can use its existing resources and talents to pro- vide the program with its greatest chance of suc- cess. The following are considered: selecting NSA neighborhoods, conducting a neighborhood inven- tory, assessing the need for financing, identifying financial resources, and carrying out the NSA pro- gram.

Based on a survey of 145 households concerning members' criminal victimization during 1976, this report presents a profile of the crime problem at Murphy Homes, a public housing project in Balti- more, Md. The survey also questioned residents about their fear of crime and the extent to which they were altering their behavior as a result of their concern about crime. Crime was found to be a common experience for the residents of Murphy Homes, with more than half the households (55.9 percent) reporting a victimization during the pre- ceding year and 27.6 percent claiming multiple vic- timizations. Compared to the nation as a whole or to nationwide population groups of similar in- comes, extraordinarily high levels of robbery and burglary were revealed in Murphy Homes: resi- dents were 12 times more likely to be robbed than were low - income persons nationally and more than 5 times more likely to be burglarized. Inci- dents of robbery, purse snatching, and assault were concentrated in the area surrounding the pro- ject's four high - rise buildings. Of the 24 robberies, 23 took place within or immediately around the buildings, and the findings indicate that the interior areas are no safer than the surrounding environ- ment, despite controlled entranceways. Respond- ents also admitted to a very high fear of crime, with more than 60 percent gauging their chances of being robbed at 50 in 100 or better. Statistically, however, their actual chances are about 1 1 in 100. With 35 percent of the residents rating simply wait- ing for a bus during the day as dangerous or very dangerous, most admitted to constraining their use of the environment and their participation in social activities because of concern about crime.

Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 consolidated several categorical pro- grams for community development into a single program of community development block grants. In order to provide for early Congressional recon- sideration of the method for distributing assist- ance, the Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment was asked to prepare a report which would contain recommendations for modifying, ex- panding, and applying provisions relating to the funding method, fund allocation, and basic grant entitlement determination. This paper presents the methodology and results of such a formula study. The basic purpose of the study was to develop and test alternative formulas for distributing program funds according to community development needs. The report includes an explanation of how shares for recipients are determined under full for- mula funding and during the transition period (Fiscal Year 75 through Fiscal Year 80). Also re- viewed are recent studies that have attempted to develop relative measures of public expenditure needs, and methods used by researchers to com- pare alternative distribution formulas with respect to evalution indices are outlined. A list of communi- ty development need indicators is presented, and the factor analysis from which the per capita need scores are derived is explained. The need scores and variables are then used to evaluate and com- pare existing formula distributions. Seven alterna- tives to the present formula are presented and evaluated by a variety of criteria. The appendices include a comparison of the report methods and results with those of other researchers and pre- sentations of other relevant studies.

Jan 75, 61p HUD/PDR-104 Keywords: 'Socioeconomic status, 'Community development, 'Housing studies, Income, Sociolo- gy, Social change, Economic analysis, 'Housing, 'Racial integration, Ownership. This report develops a model of neighborhood succession (the gradual change of a neighbor- hood's socioeconomic population type) and de- scribes the occurrence of the arbitrage principle within this model. Arbitrage occurs when the boundary area between two types of neighbor- hoods becomes unstable and shifts toward one of the neighborhood types, resulting in profits for property owners. For example, if the boundary area between high - income and low - income housing became attractive to low - income persons due to a shortage of low - income housing, and low - income persons were more willing to pay a higher price for boundary - area housing than their coun- terparts, then the housing would shift from high - income to low - income persons. The occurrence of the arbitrage process as a result of racial factors is discussed as well as the effect of a neighbor- hood's expectations on real - estate buying pat- terns and loaning practices. The neighborhood succession model is tested using a description of the St. Louis, Mo., neighborhood succession proc- ess. Results indicate that the arbitrage principle is relevant for understanding the implications of Fed- eral Housing Administration insurance policy and for indicating where there are model limitations. The model is consistent with the St. Louis experi- ence which identified two distinct succession pat- terns: (1) an income decline of neighborhoods without racial change followed by racial change, and (2) a decline in neighborhood income following racial transition. Succession appears to be associ- ated with socioeconomic status of neighborhoods rather than with age of housing. Tabular data and maps of the St. Louis area involved in the study are provided.

This handbook for architects, developers, housing agencies, and community groups addresses the problem of security in residential environments in the initial stages of the design and planning proc- ess. The incorporation of security measures into the initial design of housing requires an under- standing of many factors: the security needs of dif- ferent types of resident groups, the use each 209 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT group makes of its respective home environment, the capacity of each group to contribute to its own security, the building types available to answer the needs of different groups at different densities, the design options possible in site planning, and how all these interact to maximize residents' control of their living environment. This handbook examines how these different social, physical, managerial, and economic factors combine to produce secure housing. It also examines security hardware re- quirements and building and site plan configura- tions that produce the most effective and economi- cal use of security personnel. Defensible space design enables residents to become the critical force in providing their own security. By creating housing projects that are defensible, architects can facilitate residents' adoption of those territorial attitudes and policing measures which are the strongest deterrents to criminal and vandal activi- ty. The following factors help promote territorial at- titudes and resident policing: designing housing developments in which dwelling units are grouped to facilitate associations of mutual benefit, delin- eating areas of particular functions, clearly defining paths of movement, defining outdoor areas of ac- tivity for particular users through their juxtaposition with interior living areas, and providing inhabitants with natural opportunities for the continued visual surveillance of the public areas.

This handbook details management processes to aid builders or developers who need to understand adequately residential developments such as con- dominiums with automatic membership owner as- sociations. The evolution of automatic member- ship associations is traced. Two basic forms of community associations are considered, the homeowners association in a planned unit devel- opment and the unit owners association in a con- dominium. Forms of property management are noted, including the cooperative corporation and the funded community trust. Primary attention is given, however, to basic forms of community asso- ciation development for: (1) condominium associ- ations (single-phase development, multiphase de- velopment, two-tiered development, mixed use de- velopment, the time-sharing condominium, and the recreational condominium with a rental pool); and (2) planned unit development associations (single- phase development, multiphase development, the planned unit development with two-tiered associ- ations, the lot sale development or property owners association, and the mixed use planned unit development). The handbook explores rea- sons for and the process involved in establishing community associations. It discusses the legal basis of such associations and details manage- ment functions and techniques. Marketing aspects of homes with a community association and the transition of an association from builder to home- owner are also addressed. A 9-page bibliography is included.

The Highland Heights facility, including low - income and barrier - free architectural features, constitutes an experimental intervention into the lives of elderly and handicapped adults. The apart- ment project is a medically - oriented specialized housing development that is an extension of reha- bilitation services provided by the Hussey Hospital in Fall River, Mass. The goal of the facility is to affect positively the health and well - being of resi- dents. To ascertain the short - term impact of the facility, experimental and control groups were compared in terms of four sets of outcome varia- bles: housing, health, social isolation, and cogni- tive and emotional state. The housing dimension of the analysis dealt with the handicapped person's degree of satisfaction with his or her living situation plus items more specifically related to limitations of the dwelling unit itself. The 91 persons in the ex- perimental group were Highland Heights residents; they were matched with 91 controls representing applicants or former applicants to the facility. The results of the comparative analysis indicate that a specially - designed facility combined with medical and social services has a beneficial effect on resi- dents, at least in the short term. The findings of a group of 22 persons who came to Highland Heights directly from a long - term care facility demonstrate that sheltered housing is a viable al- ternative for some types of persons who tend to be institutionalized. Appropriate architectural fea- tures, sound structures, and good site location are influential in improving the quality of life for the el- derly and handicapped adults.

On the positive side, development has provided recreational op- portunities for a broad segment of the public and has created markets for marginally productive land, increased local tax revenues, stimulated local business, and provided jobs. Problems that have resulted from development pertain to con- sumer victimization due to misleading and fraudu- lent sales tactics, environmental degradation from the development of ecologically fragile lands, and high public service costs for some rural communi- ties. The report focuses primarily on development problems, some of which are common to all forms of land development and others of which are unique to recreational development. A national overview of recreational land development is pre- sented. Environmental, economic, social, and con- sumer impacts of recreational land development are assessed. Public regulation of such develop- ment is examined in some detail in terms of local, State, and Federal regulatory activities. A distinc- tion is made among three major types of develop- ment: unimproved recreational subdivisions, im- proved second home projects, and high-amenity resort communities.

Political and social impacts of the community de- velopment block grant program, established by Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, are assessed in this first report of a 2- year study. Those who view the block grant pro- gram as primarily a decentralization device regard- ed the first year as a success. The program did not significantly contribute to the legislative objective of encouraging spatial deconcentration of housing for low-income persons. There was disagreement as to the nature and duration of allocations made in the first year of the program. Capital spending predominated, although it tended to be for relative- ly small and short-term undertakings. Issues of who should benefit and how benefits should be provided were raised by those favoring social serv- ices as an integral part of community development programs. National distributional effects of the pro- gram in its first year were similar to spreading ef- fects at the local level. Important relationships be- tween social and economic conditions and popula- tion trends were noted in the 55 central cities stud- ied.

Possible Program for Counteracting Housing Abandonment Preliminary rept. 11 Jun 71, 105p HUD-0000058 Keywords: 'Housing studies, 'Central city, 'Aban- donment, Urban renewal, Problem solving, Resi- dential buildings, Economic factors, Urban plan- ning, Community development, 'Housing. A preliminary analysis was conducted to identify means of preserving housing and other physical in- ventory investments in portions of large cities which are potentially threatened by decay and abandonment. This report describes the findings and recommendations resulting from the study. Findings indicate that housing abandonment occurs when owners of rental apartments in low - income areas of large cities cease to maintain and financially support their buildings. They do this when they have lost all hope of gaining further eco- nomic benefit from those buildings because of the difficulties in handling the destructive behavior of both the tenants and local residents. Housing abandonment is associated with absentee owner- ship, large building size, a high proportion of ten- ants on welfare, a high proportion of black resi- dents and low average incomes in the neighbor- hood, high crime rates, and an unwillingness for normal real estate lenders to finance local proper- ties. Housing abandonment can be prevented in susceptible neighborhoods if they can remain viable parts of the general housing market in the area. Elements necessary for any program de- signed to prevent housing abandonment are iden- tified. Initial employment of the following organiza- tional vehicles for a proposed program is recom- mended: an initiatory and program management organization, an assembly organization, a neigh- borhood management corporation, and a limited - dividend corporation. The main roles of HUD's Office of Research and Technology involve pro- gram design and criteria development, provision of the initiative and organizational energy necessary to implement the program, funding of costs not covered by existing Federal programs and obtain- ing high priority for allocations of costs so covered, and monitoring and evaluation. The success of a proposed program could be evaluated by deter- mining the degree to which housing abandonment was prevented in the selected project areas. Al- though the difficulties involved in coping with hous- ing abandonment or other problems in the areas where it is likely to occur are so great that the pro- gram described has only a moderate chance of success, attempts at saving such areas are neces- sary.

Four standard mobile homes were used as laboratory units. Adaptations were made to these homes in accordance with the needs of handicapped persons. Handicapped stu- dents from the college were selected for the re- search project to represent a diversity of motor dis- abilities. Each student shared a unit with a nonhan- dicapped student. Information obtained from stu- dent experiences was used as a basis for develop- ing a fifth mobile home as a demonstration unit. Design changes and the layout of the four labora- tory units and the demonstration unit are described and illustrated.

The crime problem in Capper Dwellings, a public housing project in Washington, D.C, is addressed as a first step in developing a comprehensive plan for this housing development. The survey findings indicate a victimization rate substantially higher in most categories than the national average. Rob- bery, for example, occurred five times as often in Capper Dwellings as among low-income persons nationally. Victimization was higher in most cate- gories than in similar income groups elsewhere in the city and higher than that of the city as a whole. There was an extraordinarily high fear rate: 74 per- cent of the respondents felt their chances of being robbed during the coming year were 50/50 or more, although the actual incidence was less than 5 in 100. Residents constrained their use of the environment and their participation in social activi- ties because of their concern about crime. The survey methodology involved surveying residents along three dimensions: victimization, fear of crime, and altered behavior. A total of 168 house- holds constituted the sample, and an interview with the household head was obtained in all but 13 cases. Interviews were conducted in 1975 with re- spondents ranging in age from 19 to 75 years.

A profile of the crime problem in Nickerson Gar- dens, a public housing project in Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, is presented as a first step in developing a comprehensive security plan for this housing de- velopment. Residents were surveyed along three dimensions: victimization, fear of crime, and al- tered behavior. A sample of 184 households, pro- portionally stratified by the number of bedrooms per unit, was selected from households residing in the housing project as of March 1976. Respond- ents ranged in age from 19 to 79 years. Interviews were obtained with the head of each household in all but 10 cases. The survey findings in all catego- ries revealed rates of crime incidence that were substantially higher than the national average. Residents experienced nearly seven times as many robberies as low-income persons nationally. Those who had lived in the project less than 1 year experienced purse snatching nearly four times as often as those who had lived in the project more than 1 year. There were very high levels of fear. Over 80 percent of the respondents felt that the chances of being robbed were 50/50 or more, al- though the actual incidence of robbery was 6 in 100.

Toward Better Planning for Urban Expansion Nov 73, 86p HUD-0000076 Keywords: 'Land use, 'Rural urban fringe, 'Urban development, 'Local government, Control, Zoning, Regulations, Taxes. Existing and new land use control techniques that urban fringe area local governments can use to cope with extensive new development are consid- ered. It is proposed that resources to deal with de- velopment problems exist but are underutilized. The 31 techniques are categorized under the fol- lowing headings: planning and information, zoning - like techniques, public service control, large area and community growth regulations, tax control, direct government involvement in the land market, and administrative methods. Using staff experi- 211 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ence and knowledge of the literature, these meas- ures are analyzed in terms of how the developing areas could make better use of them. Goals best reached by community use of a given land use control technique are identified as social equity, environmental quality, fiscal responsibility, eco- nomic efficiency, and fair process. Problems that might arise through using the techniques to reach these goals fall into five general types: lack of knowledge of the technique, lack of public support for the technique and its goals, inability to handle the problem because of limited physical area, in- ability to master technical aspects of the controls, and failure of the necessary legal authority. Strate- gies are suggested for improved application of each technique and are synthesized into program recommendations to improve local control of land use. A major research and development effort to study fringe area resources, problems, potential for adapting techniques, and effectiveness in con- trol, and to be conducted in a centralized and pro- fessional manner over a significant time span, is suggested. It is recommended also that a regional office run by fringe communities should study im- proved technical assistance and education for local administrators and citizens. Local citizen action groups, well - integrated with the govern- ment process, should be studied, supported, and encouraged. Finally, fringe communities should or- ganize to provide for themselves nationwide serv- ices and representation, and a commission should investigate ways to decrease adverse effects of il- legal and unethical excesses in fringe area land use control administration.

Scientific data on areas exposed to volcanic haz- ards on the island of Hawaii are presented to aid HUD officials in the establishment of appropriate land use criteria. Land use where volcanic activity is possible creates a potential hazard to health, life, and property. Volcanic hazards are catego- rized broadly as direct and indirect. Direct hazards are the result of volcanic eruption (lava flows, fall- ing rock fragments, drifting volcanic gases, and particle and gas clouds). Indirect hazards include ground movements accompanying eruption, such as subsidence, surface ruptures, and earthquakes, and certain unusual sea waves called tsunamis. The island has been divided into zones of relative risk for most direct hazards, subsidence, and sur- face rupture. No practical way exists to slow or stop a volcanic eruption. Two major methods have been considered, however, to control the path of lava flows: (1) the use of normal engineering means to construct barriers and diversion chan- nels and (2) the use of explosives to obstruct es- tablished channels. Criteria used to delineate zones of relative risk due to lava flows are the number of eruptions for each volcano, the propor- tion of area covered, and causes of the distribution of flows. These criteria are applied to direct and indirect types of hazards. Relative risk zones con- stitute a useful technique in land use planning. The zones are established only for average risk, and risk within a zone can vary substantially. Planning decisions concern the selection of structures and kinds of land use appropriate for the degree of hazard present. Tabular data, figures, and maps are provided to assist in understanding the origin and character of volcanic hazards on the island. References are cited.

The goal of this study was to determine the extent to which the central north side of Pittsburgh, Penn- sylvania, has improved as a result of a neighbor- hood housing services program. Three control neighborhoods were used for the purpose of com- parative analysis. Program activities were directed toward the preservation and revitalization of the central north side using a revolving high-risk loan fund provided by foundation grants. During the period from 1968 to 1974, the central north side improved relative to control neighborhoods. Prop- erty values rose and private sector investment in- creased. Financial institutions started to increase their level of loan activity. Reinvestment by proper- ty owners was stronger than it had been in several years, and the income level of residents rose. The quality of life not only improved but increased rela- tive to other neighborhoods. Tax delinquency still increased, the level of financial institution involve- ment was below that in the other neighborhoods, and the population continued to decline. The im- portance of the neighborhood housing services program in stemming decline is discussed. The presence of the neighborhood housing service provided both financial and psychological support, which was instrumental in changing the attitudes of residents toward the neighborhood.

Efforts to evaluate how property tax relief for elderly homeowners in gen- eral and the circuit breaker form of relief in particu- lar affect economic and political behavior are re- ported. It is demonstrated that property tax relief is likely to: (1) improve housing conditions for some elderly persons by increasing their purchasing power; (2) provide a poorly focused kind of assist- ance because much of the aid will accrue to fami- lies and individuals who are not normally consid- ered to be needy; (3) be very expensive if plans of the more generous States are followed; (4) have little effect on housing prices; and (5) have an ob- servable impact on the voting behavior of the gen- eral population but reverse few elderly votes. Topics addressed include: housing comsumption among the elderly, property tax incidence, costs and benefits of alternative property tax relief pro- grams, effects of property tax relief on housing comsumption by the elderly, and effects of proper- ty tax relief on voting behavior.

This report is presented as part of overall innova- tive modernization program conducted by ACTION - Housing, Inc. This presentation deals with one component of the program - an increase in the tenant council role in project management and solving project problems. It presents an informa- tion system for social services developed at Talbot Towers and McKees Rocks Terrace. Information centers were developed for these two projects in 1972 to operate under the direction of the tenant councils. Primary functions of the information cen- ters include the following: identification of service gaps, community information needs, and program priorities; development of a basic inventory of re- ferral sources; development and implementation of program efforts approved and funded by the tenant council; solicitation of technical assistance for service programs; development of program or polciy changes in social service and recreation agencies; and the conduct of general community education programs. Specific activities of the infor- mation centers include the development of a refer- ral service for delivering information to residents with specific problems and the creation of a man- agement information clearinghouse, an inter- agency council, an orientation handbook, and newsletters. The management information clearinghouse provides information needed to de- velop leadership skills among tenant council mem- bers; the interagency council consists of repre- sentatives from major community service agencies who exchange information through regular meet- ings of the council. The orientation handbook pre- sents a package of material to guide residents in using the various services offered in the communi- ty, and the monthly newsletter informs residents of tenant council programs. A major section of the report is devoted to approaches aimed at transfer- ring the model of the information center to other housing projects. The appendices discuss each of the two housing projects under consideration, the process of building the information system, and provide copies of the Talbot Towers information booklet and the McKees Rocks Terrace tenants' handbook.

Most financial decisions re- volve around adopting and balancing the annual budget. A checklist for approaching revenue deci- sions includes items such as uniformity and timeli- ness of property assessments. Questions to aid taxation decisionmaking concern legality, fairness, collectibility, elasticity (i.e., responsive to changes in the economy), and comparability to other gov- ernments. Practices to avoid include borrowing, overestimating revenues, approving a short - term revenue source that will erode the tax base, and spending all revenues without building a reserve. Decisionmaking on expenditures usually involves cutting proposed spending. The largest programs are most likely to contain items that can be cut. Spending priorities should be set, and productivity improvement should be implemented. Suggested techniques for improving productivity are listed, along with cities that have used the technique. De- cisions on long - term borrowing should be made after examining the immediate need and long - term benefits posed against the debt burden on future residents and the locality's ability to handle the debt. Ratios used to calculate how much debt to authorize are provided, e.g., total local debt to property tax base. State and Federal grants must be considered in terms of the locality's actual need for them, effort to be expended to get them, stric- tures imposed on the locality by accepting a grant, and the grant's economic impact.

Keywords: *Cash flow, 'Financial management, "Local government, Information systems, Invest- ments, Fiscal policies, Cost analysis, Municipal- ities, Loans, Bonds(Finance). The purpose of this book is to help local govern- ment cash managers improve their cash manage- ment programs. A checklist to aid in determining the effectiveness of a cash management program is provided, along with an overview of the cash management process. Primary goals in cash man- agement involve maximizing the amount of availa- ble cash and earning the maximum return on cash invested. Understanding the elements of a cash management program and how they relate to achieving these goals forms the basis for deciding what improvements should be made to a cash management program. Elements of a cash man- agement program include: an administrative framework; a cash budget; a cash information and control system; collection, deposit, and disburse- ment procedures; borrowing; financial securities; and an investment strategy. Other factors to con- sider are cash management as a public policy tool, multijurisdictional investing, cash management packages, and extraordinary services. Guidelines for the implementation of an improved cash man- agement program are offered. Appendices include a detailed description of available investment in- struments, information on cost-benefit analysis, a glossary of terms, and a list of supplemental read- ings.

The impact of local housing and building codes on low-income and moderate-income housing is eval- uated in this bulletin prepared by the Urban Con- sortium. The consortium is a coalition of 34 urban governments working together with Federal offi- cials and private industry to encourage the devel- opment and transfer of products and systems that will address priority urban problems. It is stated that codes are numerous, diverse, and adminis- tered by virtually autonomous agencies. Major characteristics of codes are noted as proliferation and fragmentation, lack of objectivity and uniform- ity, lack of flexibility, and institutional rigidity. Inhib- iting effects of codes on technological innovation and the industrialized housing industry are ex- plored. Approaches to the reform of local housing and building codes are considered. The discussion encompasses the movement to State codes, the creation of national organizations, Federal legisla- tion and proposed Federal actions, Federal re- search, flexible codes, and tenant remedies. Three areas for further research are identified: (1) the need to provide policymakers and practitioners with sound analysis on the aggregate effects of codes on housing costs; (2) the possible need for the development of a model rehabilitation code; and (3) the need for a better understanding of dif- ferences between health and safety standards of codes that are based on objective research and evidence and standards that have simply evolved from community values and attitudes.

The results of an audit conducted subsequent to a baseline survey of residential buildings in St. Joseph County, Ind., between April and December 1975 are reported. The survey was designed to provide data on the physical characteristics of 5,120 residential buildings, the property on which they were located, and the immediate neighbor- hood of each property. After fieldwork was com- pleted, evaluators revisited 27 percent of the ob- served properties to validate original observations. The audit was concerned with accounting for sample elements, weighting the complete analysis sample, item nonresponse, and indicators of data quality. In the process of auditing, sample ele- ments were accounted for and the incidence of nonresponse was examined. An assessment was made of the potential for nonresponse bias and the extent to which such bias was diminished or exacerbated by analysis weights. Searching for evidence of unreliable data, a review of data - cleaning results was conducted and additional plausibility and consistency checks were per- formed. Field procedures and variations in observ- er proficiency were scrutinized for anomalies that might have produced response errors too subtle for detection by data cleaning and audit checks. There was substantial intrastratum nonresponse bias among unweighted survey observations. Compensatory record weighting reduced much of the known intrastratum bias. A review of data qual- ity indicators disclosed that responses to descrip- tive questions were highly reliable but that re- sponses to evaluative questions were imprecise and hence less reliable.

This report, prepared for the HUD Office of Policy Development and Research, summarizes the design of the Housing Assistance Supply Experi- ment sponsored by HUD as part of its experimen- tal housing allowance program and recounts the history of the project since its inception in the fall of 1971. The program is designed to help HUD decide whether a national program of direct finan- cial assistance to low - income households is a feasible and desirable way to help them secure decent housing, and if so, to determine the appro- priate terms and conditions for this assistance and the most efficient and effective methods for admin- istering a nationwide program. Two sites were se- lected for the experimental program - Brown County, Wis., a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) whose central city is Green Bay, and St. Joseph County, Ind., a portion of an SMSA whose central city is South Bend. The effects of the programs are to be monitored principally through an annual cycle of field surveys addressed to a marketwide sample of residential properties, once before the program begins and for 5 years thereafter. Data will be obtained from visits to properties for observation and interviews with resi- dents and landlords. The research is directed at the following four clusters of issues bearing on the merits and optimal design of a national allowance program: (1) supply responsiveness - the reaction of housing suppliers when allowance recipients at- tempt to increase their housing consumption; (2) behavior of market intermediaries and indirect sup- pliers; (3) residential mobility and neighborhood change; and (4) effects on nonparticipants. Spe- cial attention is directed to the implementation phase of the experiment, and program achieve- ments and associated research endeavors through September 1974 are described. Current problems of both the housing allowance and re- search programs are considered, along with their schedules of future events. The two experimental sites are examined and compared in terms of se- lected demographic, economic, and housing market characteristics. The appendix includes the 213 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT housing assistance supply experiment working notes, a chronology of major events, charts depict- ing the organization of the housing assistance supply experiment, and a listing of Rand's staff for the project.

HUD maintains approximately 8,850 mobile homes at various storage centers around the United States for use as temporary housing following nat- ural disasters. The following problems involving the storage of these units were examined: rain leaks, dust infiltration, insects and rodents, intran- sit damage, moisture problems in sealed units, and anchorage of unoccupied units. Visits were made to three strategic storage centers and a satellite storage center to physically inspect the mobile homes, review maintenance and refurbishment files, and discuss problems with center directors and their staff. The following findings resulted from the site visits: (1) water penetration is the most troublesome aspect of long - term storage; (2) up- right storage of furniture at the front of the unit solves the problem of interior moisture caused by condensation; (3) insect and rodent problems result from occupancy and introduction of food stuffs; (4) in - transit damage is caused by the care- lessness of toter drivers; (5) metal screw fasteners used to secure the exterior metal skin, trim, win- dows, and doors should be checked and tight- ened; (6) the metal strapping sometimes used to secure front and side walls is effective in reducing metal skin damage due to wind forces encoun- tered in transit; (7) an evaluation is needed of the effectivenss of recambering the longitudinal beam during refurbishment; (8) rusting metal roofs should be repaired to prevent leaks; (9) exterior use of duct tape for securing and sealing situations is not recommended; and (10) units should not be stored in grassy areas since high grass and insect growth contribute to underboard deterioration and pose fire hazards.

Procedures are suggested for mounting a nation- wide campaign that will issue in the State licensing of housing management practitioners. Currently the profession of residential property management is acknowledged by the States in random fashion, limited almost exclusively to inclusion of the rent collection function in the coverage of real estate license laws for brokers and salespeople. Two al- ternatives are discussed for a national campaign to encourage State licensing of housing managers: (1) HUD could submit a model State law for hous- ing management licensure through the proper channels for consideration by the Council of State Governments with a view to having it published in 'Suggested State Legislation,' which goes to all governors and State legislatures and (2) a National Committee could be convened, composed of rep- resentatives of groups or individual interests which would be affected by the enactment of a licensing law, to design and implement a strategy for the passage of a uniform law in the States discussed, with particular attention to a strategy that could be pursued by a National Committee for Housing Management Licensure. Recommendations are offered for HUD's leadership activities in the li- censing campaign. PB-300 098/1 PC A05/MF A01 Homeownership, Rental Housing and Tax In- centives George S. Tolley, and Douglas B.

Effects of tax incentives on the housing market are investigated. Theoretical and empirical issues con- cerning a tax code's impact on housing production and consumption are examined in a review of the literature. The study explains the operation of the housing market, describing inputs into housing production and how tax considerations can change the effective price of these inputs. Differ- ences in after-tax input prices into rental and owner-occupied housing are compared. Consumer response to such differences is discussed. De- tailed estimates of before-tax costs of housing are presented, along with an explanation of how taxes modify the estimates for homeowners and renters. After-tax costs of each tenure mode are deter- mined by income level and related to actual tenure choices by income group. These findings are the basis of estimations dealing with the effect on housing consumption and tenure choice of a 5-per- cent increase in rental prices only. The study de- scribes a a general framework for estimating the effect of rent change on other magnitudes and as- sesses the impact of the tax system and tax re- forms on horizontal and vertical equity. Specific tax proposals and their effect on housing are exam- ined, particular attention being given to potential side effects of the proposals on construction, maintenance, turnover, and other aspects of hous- ing.

This manual is designed to help municipal finance officers, treasurers, and managers assess their present cash management program and improve it. In preparing the manual, particular consideration has been given to the different experience levels of financial personnel in municipalities of varying sizes. It is noted that the ultimate objective of a cash management program is to increase a mu- nicipality's nontax revenues by investing cash that is not needed for current obligations. The ability to perform the following functions are discussed as essential elements in the operation of an effective cash management program: understand the pres- ent cash flow, its nature, timing, and source; esti- mate the pattern of future cash flows; identify short - term money markets where funds can be invest- ed to earn income until the cash is required to pay municipal bills; and arrange for the short - term in- vestment of idle cash. The steps involved in start- ing a cash management program are described, and a procedure for estimating tax receipts is de- scribed, followed by a discussion of factors in- volved in estimating cash expenditures. A chapter is devoted to discussing each of the following topics: estimating cash flow and investment income, investing idle cash, and short - term bor- rowing. Suggestions for improving cash flow are offered in the areas of cash receipts, accounts payable, payroll, bank accounts, and investment income. Exhibits of forms to be used in a cash management program, a case study, glossary, and bibliography are also included. PB-300 101/3 Not available NTIS National Governors' Conference, Washington, DC.

This is a final report to HUD by the National Acade- my of Public Administration on a 5 - year demon- stration project (1972 - 1977) involving govern- ment reorganization in four metropolitan areas - Denver, Colo., Portland, Oreg., Rochester, N.Y., and Tampa / St. Petersburg, Fla. Under the con- tract, the Academy provided technical and finan- cial assistance to the metropolitan government study committees in each of the four areas. The basic purpose of the study was to test the concept of two - tiered government, which involves two levels of government in metropolitan areas - a local level and an areawide level. The ultimate ob- jective of this type of government is to develop a series of patterned relationships between the neighborhood level of government and the areawide or metropolitan government. One of the criteria for selection of the demonstration areas was a receptivity to change in the direction of a multitiered form of government in the leadership ranks of each metropolitan area. The project should not only result in improved government in the demonstration areas but also would provide a pattern for implementing the two - tiered concept of government in other metropolitan areas. The report includes a history of the project, analyses of past government operations in each demonstra- tion area, descriptions of each demonstration area, reports on results in each area, analysis and overview, and conclusions and recommendations of the Academy panel. At the time of this report, reorganization efforts in each of the areas had not gone beyond the development of goals and objec- tives by the four metropolitan study committees. An analysis of these committee reports shows that each of the study panels gave much more atten- tion to proposals for centralization than for decen- tralization. Based on the experience gained under 214 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT the project and its own examination of metropoli- tan governance problems and alternatives, the Academy panel concluded that the achievement of coordinated and effective policies for the metro- politan community can best be reached through in- stitutions that are multipurpose and accountable to the citizenry, and the multitiered concept of gov- ernment is an appropriate structure for meeting these objectives.

This report fulfills a mandate of Title VII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970, which requires preparation of biennial reports on national growth and development. A broad assess- ment of current realities, demographic, social, and economic trends, and the issues and policy op- tions which will be on the national agenda in the final quarter of the 20th century are included in the report. The following factors are discussed as the dominant elements affecting the nation's growth in years to come: population growth, urban - rural population shifts, regional population shifts, natural resources, energy and environmental concerns, shortened planning horizon, public lands, reduc- tion of poverty, and preservation of existing cities. Following a description of present national trends, broad policy alternatives are examined in several areas of growth, including the following steps being taken in accommodating energy impera- tives: growth consequences of environmental reg- ulations; choices in the competing adjustment in transportation policy; how the expansion of tele- communications capabilities has affected growth; changes occurring which relate to improving hous- ing and neighborhoods; regional development and steps being taken toward balanced economic growth; new directions being taken in guiding and controlling land development; and ways of strengthening the fiscal and management capacity of local government. It is noted in the concluding chapter that increased public concern about the performance of government is, in itself, a factor to assess in considering the public sector's ability to guide the Nation's growth and development.

The retaining of existing businesses in urban areas is one of the most crucial factors in the economic stabilization and development of cities. Following a discussion of the problem and its background, major issues are considered. Reasons for busi- ness exodus from urban areas are listed, and re- sults are reported of a survey of 40 major New York City corporations to determine what propos- als for building the strength of the city's economy are considered most helpful to the firms. Commu- nication between local government and the busi- ness community, the creation of formal information systems that provide data necessary to determine which firms are most likely to move, the identifica- tion of the key firms for which a city's limited efforts and resources can be most effectively spent, and a developed rationale by local government that can persuade businesses of the benefits of staying are discussed as broad actions available to local gov- ernment to aid in business retention. Various local organizations for economic development are de- scribed; and surveys and questionnaires, plant visi- tation, joint government - business meetings, and municipal redtape cutting are discussed as means of improving communication between business and government. Information systems, local finan- cial incentives for economic development, local assistance in land resources for economic devel- opment, comprehensive programs targeted at se- lected industry groups, relevant Federal programs, and research activities are given special attention.

Neighborhood dynamics and change are exam- ined using a case study approach developed in Boston, Massachusetts. A conceptual framework is presented to aid in determining what housing preservation, rehabilitation, and construction pro- grams should be initiated in different neighbor- hoods of a city. Its application in Boston is detailed. Housing conditions and market perceptions consti- tute the basis of the neighborhood classification scheme. Housing conditions data serve to indicate the need for public intervention through programs and to set limits on potential costs of a given pro- gram. Interactions among factors are market per- ceptions. Neighborhood change is seen as a movement from one part of the housing condi- tions/market perceptions matrix to another. It is dependent on such factors as perceptions of status, unstable equilibrium, rising market, specu- lation, incumbent upgrading, and lending insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The impor- tance of separating neighborhood market percep- tions from housing conditions is stressed. Field visits to various cities across the United States in 1977 confirmed the importance of making this dis- tinction. The report concludes with policy recom- mendations pertaining to housing strategies that reflect neighborhood dynamics and change. Addi- tional information on neighborhood change and in- dicators of change is provided in appendices. PB-300 113/8 MFA01 SCS Engineers, Reston, VA.

The HUD Experimental Housing Allowance Pro- gram is a 5 - year test during which a wide variety of housing allowance alternatives are being tried out in 1 2 selected areas of the country to develop successful program components. The program emphasizes the use of existing housing supplies to provide adequate housing for low - income families rather than the construction of new buildings which isolate these households. The experiment has three components, each designed to answer a dif- ferent set of questions about the program. A demand (consumer) experiment measures the re- sponse of recipients to different types and levels of allowances. A supply (landlord and market) survey assesses the housing market's response to the al- lowance program. The administrative agency ex- periment identifies administrative costs and possi- ble administrative problems. Data are being gath- ered from regular surveys of participants, land- lords, and administrative staffs, as well as bankers, brokers, realtors, and other program intermediar- ies. Findings so far show that, like other social ex- periments, the program has certain inherent prob- lems such as a lack of laboratory - type control over the experimental environment, costly proce- dures for data gathering, difficulties in keeping in- formation confidential, and difficulties in foresee- ing and replicating (in an experiment of limited du- ration and scope) all the features of a national pro- gram. It is concluded that the experiment is neces- sary to answer policy questions and should result in a better program.

This working note presents estimates of participa- tion rates and allowance - payment costs for a na- tional housing assistance program. It supplements an earlier working note which reported eligibility and cost estimates under three proposed housing allowance formulas. This note focuses on the Housing Gap 1 formula, which sets the allowance at the standard cost of adequate housing in the community minus one fourth of the disposable income of the household. It discusses the compu- tation of this formula, the definition of 'disposable income' under various circumstances, and esti- mates participation rates based on the 1970 household population of the United States. (Income and budgetary parameters are based on 1 969 data.) Tables and graphs present the result- ing statistical data. The estimated payments range from $2 billion to $8 billion with from 5 million to 14.5 million households enrolled. (Appended tables give distributions of participants and costs by household size and gross income for each pro- gram variation.) The least costly and most restric- tive program variation limits participation to resi- dents of metropolitan areas, excludes nonelderly single and childless couples, uses a low - cost housing standard and imposes a minimum allow- ance cutoff level. Each of the variations has pro- gressively more liberal qualification standards and 215 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT uses a higher housing - cost standard. Footnotes contain additional data.

The findings of a residential vulnerability analysis for Arthur Capper Dwellings, a 1,100 - unit public housing project in Washington, D.C., are present- ed, along with a comprehensive security plan based on that analysis. The vulnerability analysis consists of three parts: a household safety and se- curity survey, a site security review, and an exami- nation of the project's social structure and the de- livery of police and other security - related serv- ices. The key element of the resulting security plan is the division of Capper Dwellings into 12 neigh- borhoods. These neighborhoods would consist of from 40 to 90 families and their definition would be reinforced in two ways: (1) tenants would be orga- nized in each neighborhood and leaders would be selected, and (2) they would be defined architec- turally. The plan calls for site improvements to es- tablish boundaries and aid in access control, the internalization of activities within each neighbor- hood, and the assignment of space to individual families when feasible. The plan also calls for the establishment of a security planning board made up of neighborhood leaders, housing management staff, metropolitan police, and project security guards. Also proposed are improved circulation through the site, increased lighting, and the estab- lishment of structured recreational areas. A profile of the crime problem in Capper Dwellings is ap- pended, along with materials dealing with commu- nity programs serving the residents, controlled en- tranceways, and service delivery in the project.

This review of flood - plain planning, management, and regulation in the San Francisco Bay region, Napa County, demonstrates the complex nature of multijurisdictional involvements and underscores the need for adequate comprehensive planning and coordination to provide for sound develop- ment and use of flood plains. Many Federal, State, and local agencies are involved in flood - plain management and regulation, but often without co- ordinated authority or scope. In addition to the need for coordinating the actions of numerous agencies, the Napa Valley experience indicates that important factors in flood - damage reduction include compatibility of flood - damage reduction with general community objectives, land use eco- nomics, and the objectives of other agencies; the intensity of existing development; the availability of hydrologic information, and the coordination of planning and implementation. A graduated ap- proach to flood - damage reduction is illustrated, proceeding from generalized regional policies and plans through county planning and regulation to detailed local planning and application of both structural and regulatory measures to reduce flood losses. Maps, photographs, and other illustrations are provided, along with a glossary and tabular and graphic data. PB-300 123/7 PC A04/MF A01 Department of Housing and Urban Development, Washington, DC.

Apr 78, 58p HUD-0000179 Keywords: 'Allowances, 'Low income groups, Economic assistance, Payment, Leasing, Income, Relocation, 'Housing allowance programs. Preliminary findings from three evaluations of the Experimental Housing Allowance Program are summarized. The core of this program is the provi- sion of direct cash assistance to lower - income households to enable them to obtain adequate housing. The experimental program was set up in eight rural and urban areas across the United States to find out who participates in housing al- lowance programs, the effect of a housing allow- ance on changes of residence, how participating households use their allowance payments, and the effects of the program on both quality and price of housing in an area. The program is described brief- ly and statistics summarize participation to date. The three evaluations are then described in non- technical language and their findings are present- ed. The empirical evidence developed by these studies fails to support many assumptions about housing allowances. It is found that about half of the renters and two - thirds of the homeowners would not participate in the program; that when funds were earmarked for housing, a larger propor- tion was spent on housing than was spent with un- constrained assistance; that housing allowances had little impact on decisions to move or not to move; and that so few received allowances that there was little impact on the real estate market. Each of these findings is discussed and supported with data. Appendices contain additional statistics, a copy of the program's housing standards, and a bibliography.

Recycling of obsolete buildings is discussed as an increasingly attractive means of providing distinc- tive, high-quality, and economically viable space and as a way of preserving a city's architecture. The report was prepared by the Urban Coalition, a consortium of 34 urban governments working to- gether with Federal officials and private industry to encourage the development and transfer of prod- ucts and systems that address pressing urban problems. Factors stimulating and enhancing the climate for recycling are examined, and issues in the recycling of obsolete buildings are explored. The following issues are identified: awareness of the hidden assets of obsolete buildings, physical conditions, government regulatory controls, eco- nomics of recycling, and financing. Approaches to recycling are described, including government reuse, government leasing, a city serving as the middleman, positive regulatory tools, removal of bureaucratic barriers, public improvements, finan- cial incentives, tax relief, Federal programs, and Federal legislation. Areas in need of further re- search are specified. A selected bibliography is provided. PB-300 126/0 PC A04/MF A01 Department of Housing and Urban Development, Washington, DC.

Jun 77, 56p HUD-0000184 Keywords: 'Housing studies, 'American Indians, Federal assistance programs, Government poli- cies, Coordination, Research, Management, Indian reservations. This background paper examines Federal efforts to provide housing to Indians on reservations and provides a discussion of issues that have arisen with regard to the administration of Indian housing programs by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a trustee, the Fed- eral Government is obligated to assure that Feder- al services are provided to reservation Indians. Federal housing programs are generally designed to rely on private investment, but the insecurity of investment on inalienable lands, along with the low incomes of most reservation residents are signifi- cant disincentives to the establishment of a private housing market for Indians on reservations. A his- tory of HUD's Indian housing programs is present- ed and sources of information on Indians and Indian housing are noted. Issues that have emerged from a review of Federal efforts to pro- vide housing services for Indians are a lack of interagency coordination, a lack of a well-defined HUD administrative structure for dealing with Indian housing programs, the development cost of 216 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT Indian housing, inadequacies of the existing hous- ing stock, failure to achieve housing production goals, deficiencies in program design and struc- ture, and management problems associated with Indian housing authorities. The paper evaluates factors affecting HUD's ability to deliver adequate housing to reservation Indians.

A joint program conducted by HUD and the Feder- al Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) to encourage neighborhood preservation through the creation of an urban reinvestment task force is evaluated. A major portion of the task force's work has involved the development of neighborhood housing serv- ices programs in cities across the country. These programs bring together city officials, lending agencies, and residents of targeted neighbor- hoods to develop plans for preserving and revital- izing housing in the area. This evaluation made six onsite visits and conducted extensive interviews with task force staff, community residents, govern- ment officials, and representatives of the lending agencies involved. Data on the neighborhoods and program documents were also reviewed. In addi- tion, telephone interviews were conducted with key personnel in 1 1 other cities. The evaluation de- termined that the work of the urban reinvestment task force was essential to the development of the neighborhood services programs. The task force collected the preliminary data, identified possible neighborhoods, contacted the appropriate people, and coordinated and facilitated the overall devel- opment of the program. The program's success is considered a result of its workshop approach; each community situation was different, and a reg- ulated or bureaucratic approach would have been ineffective. Criteria to be used for a more formal evaluation are suggested. Continuation of the con- cept is urged. PB-300 131/0 PCA11/MFA01 ACTION-Housing, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA.

The conference consisted of the following four sessions lasting approximately half a day each: (1) introduction to the use of MIS in the housing man- agement improvement program, (2) specific prob- lems and possible solutions involved with systems such as MIS, (3) applying MIS to a functional area, and (4) special interest groups. The applications workshop considered the use of MIS for both ad- ministration (personnel, payroll, work and mainte- nance scheduling, protective services, and general accounting and data processing) and housing de- velopment. Housing development uses include ap- plications processing, site selection, data for site acquisition and relocation, tenant placement, and tenant accounting and rental collection. The three major roles of MIS involve financial control, man- agerial control, and strategic planning. The five cri- teria for a successful system are relevance to the organization's needs, timeliness of data, economy of operation, accuracy, and flexibility.

This catalog describes from the first - year efforts of 23 demonstration cities in implementing the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1 974, an act defines a broad outline for an urban homesteading program. The first volume presents an overview of program design decisions which are central to the structuring of an urban home- steading program. These include the definition of an administrative framework for the program; the development of a system for the planning, man- agement, and monitoring of rehabilitation efforts; and the organization of a financing program to sup- port the costs of repairs to homestead properties. The legal aspects of urban homesteading are re- viewed from issues of municipal authority for con- ducting homesteading programs to the nature and form of the legal documents required in the home- steading process. The applicability of the demon- stration experience to homesteading efforts orga- nized outside the demonstration context is consid- ered with attention to the implications of using tax - deeded properties in an urban homesteading pro- gram. Finally, differences are identified between homesteading under the Federal demonstration project and homesteading through independent local programs which draw properties from lists of tax - foreclosed properties or other sources.

The introduction to this workbook for real estate brokers and salespeople explains that real estate brokerage has a deep impact on housing discrimi- nation, either as part of the solution or as part of the problem. The training sections then combine discussions of various provisions of Federal fair housing laws with case studies illustrating discrimi- nation. The student is asked to identify the type of discrimination shown, the basis of the discrimina- tion, and possible violations of the law. The focus is on the general intent of the fair housing statutes, not specific citations. The discussions cover the definition of the word "minority," list various types of minorities, cover actions which are considered discriminatory, list general prohibitions under fair housing laws, and discuss specific real estate practices. These practices include "panic ped- dling," steering of prospects to one area or an- other, not accepting listings, agreeing with owners not to show properties to certain groups, applica- tion and contract discrimination, and financing dis- crimination. A special discussion covers discrimi- nation in building rentals and management. It is as- sumed that many forbidden practices are so common that they are not recognized as discrimi- nation. In addition to racial discrimination, the text covers discrimination against persons because of sex, age, or marital status. PB-300 161/7 PCA04/MFA01 Rand Corp., Santa Monica, CA.

This working note describes the construction of in- dices of the costs for producing housing services in Brown County, Wis., St. Joseph County, Ind., and the five - State region that contains these counties. This project is part of the continuing work of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE). The theoretical and mathematical bases of the Laspeyres and the Paasche indices are de- scribed. These indices are used to measure the real annual costs of various housing inputs, infla- tion in costs not caused by local events in the ex- perimental sites (background inflation), and locally caused inflation. The inputs used for these two ratios of quantity - weighted goods are opportunity cost of land and improvements, cost of land, cost of improvements, cost of additions to improve- ments, cost of property services, cost of mainte- nance and repair, and property taxes. Each of these inputs is discussed in detail and the math- ematical formulas used to factor them into the total index are given. To measure program - induced in- flation, an index is computed for the entire five - State region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin). The difference between the local and regional indices is considered an approximation of program - induced inflation.

Levels of enrollment (about 8 percent of eligible households) and the characteristics of enrollees (mostly elderly per- sons or single parents) are similar, as are their re- sponses to the program's incentives. The program allows participants an average of $900 yearly for repairing homes or securing better housing. To assess the program's effects on participants, re- searchers analyzed clients' records, conducted field surveys addressed to marketwide samples of residential properties before and after program op- eration, interviewed both owners and occupants of sampled properties on perceptions of the program and their dwellings and neighborhoods, and gath- ered survey data on both the program and the market by addressing issues of supply responsive- ness, the behavior of market intermediaries and in- direct suppliers of housing services, residential mobility and neighborhood change, and effects of nonparticipants and their attitudes toward the pro- gram. Detailed examinations of housing costs for program functioning, client submissions reliability, program records integrity, and case - by - case decisionmaking consistency were also conducted. Results of the studies are discussed. Appendices present a list of the housing assistance program publications, a chronology of major events, and the organization of the program.

The development of a model of urban housing markets is described, and the procedure and re- sults of its application to simulate the effects of Federal policies for rehabilitating central - city housing are discussed. The policies evaluated by the model are being considered for expanded roles in the Federal Government's plans to revital- ize central cities. The principal program evaluated aims at upgrading all substandard, central - city core area dwellings to a level where they will pass strict housing code requirements. It involves an ex- pansion of the Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan Program, particularly into the rental housing market. The second program considered provides assistance payments to households to ensure that those households with low incomes that would have occupied the substandard housing can afford to occupy and maintain that same housing after it has been rehabilitated. The model intends to de- termine the lasting change effected after rehabili- tation for each program. In its application, the model uses four prototypic urban areas construct- ed to represent standard metropolitan statistical areas in growth rates and minority populations. The rehabilitation is assumed to have been under- taken in 1960, and the model simulates how pro- grams would affect conditions in 1970. The follow- ing findings of the simulation are discussed: a decade after being upgraded, the central - city dwellings retain their quality improvement and command higher prices; the diversion of additional modest - income households to the central - city core results in a decline in demand in the rest of the central city and in the suburbs; the amount of rehabilitation preserved increases dramatically when housing assistance is provided to residents; in the absence of housing assistance, the future occupants of low - quality, inner - city housing are supplanted by higher, but still below average income households; rehabilitation, with or without housing assistance, leads to an expansion of modest - quality housing in the central city and its decline in the suburbs.

Further, the center should start with Federal funds and achieve self - support in 5 years while monitoring, not competing, with private in- dustry. Neither new software products nor existing capabilities should be produced or duplicated, and all Federal agencies concerned with local govern- ment information handling should share in the fi- nancing.

The Joint Center for Political Studies' involvement in the Financial Management Capacity Sharing Program is described, with particular emphasis on both the processes and products of its workshop and survey of minority public officials. On May 5 - 6, 1978, the Joint Center brought together 23 mi- nority elected and appointed officiate to identify, define, and rank the major financial management problems and needs facing their cities. Simulta- neously, a randomly selected group of elected and appointed minority public officials were sent ques- tionnaires in which they were asked to identify their most significant financial management problems and needs. In both the workshop and survey, par- ticipants were selected on the basis of such fac- tors as size of jurisdiction, geographical distribu- tion, and office held. While the nature and range of problems differed according to size of jurisdiction and whether an official was elected or appointed, responsiveness to community needs" was the issue category to which participants in both the workshop and survey gave the greatest priority. At the workshop, "intergovernmental fiscal relations" and "building staff capabilities" were the second and third most significant problem categories; survey participants ranked "budget formulation" and "review and revenue planning" as their second and third most significant problems. All the stated problems from the workshop and the survey are listed and their prioritization by workshop par- ticipants and respondents is indicated. Priority problems derived from the National Conference on Financial Management Needs are also listed, along with a list of participants in the conference. Data derived from the survey are presented in tab- ular form. The appendices include a description of the Financial Management Capacity Sharing Pro- gram, detailed problem statements, a resolution proposed and adopted by workshop participants, the survey questionnaire, raw data of survey re- sults, and reference materials used in the work- shop.

The city / county of Honolulu, Hawaii, which en- compasses the entire island of Oahu, developed productivity improvement projects for park and road maintenance. The parks project replaced in- dividual park groundskeepers with maintenance teams covering many parks. The most innovative feature of this project was the use of color photo- graphs of each park to illustrate various levels of maintenance. These photographs, plus a detailed description of each park and a set of written work standards, constitute a park maintenance manual which is used as the basis for a weekly visual in- spection and evaluation. Significant increases in productivity are documented. The aim of the street project was to improve work crew efficiency and to reduce costs of street repairs and resurfacing to the levels charged by contractors or below. Be- cause of an industrial engineering study which indi- cated that street crews were productive only about a third of the time, crew size was reduced, and a new production planning system with daily produc- tion goals, a new equipment maintenance system, and improved scheduling of materials were all im- plemented. Tightening the sick leave policy could not be achieved because personnel policy changes have to be accomplished across all city / county government agencies. Statistics support the improvements in productivity which resulted in all areas of street maintenance as a result of the project. Appendices contain the park maintenance evaluation checklists, portions of the park manual, the street project work forms, the street project production standards, and statistics.

This Dallas, Tex., project was primarily an attempt to determine the impact of shifting from a 5 - day week to a 10 - hour per day, 4 - day week on the productivity of the street maintenance and clean- ing department. Since a 4 - day week was already in use in the sanitation department, the program did not have to be explained and procedures had already been developed. In attempting to measure gains in output, the Dallas officials identified defi- ciencies in street cleaning and maintenance work scheduling and supervision. The work order forms and work standards which were developed to remedy these problems are appended. The 4 - day week itself did not prove effective because the crews had reduced coverage on days when not ev- eryone was working, absenteeism increased, the employees became fatigued, there was an in- crease in the percentage of time spent working in 219 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT traffic peak periods, and morale decreased. The street maintenance and cleaning department went back to a 5 - day week, although the 4 - day week proved successful in the sanitation department. It is concluded that attempts to improve productivity by one means, such as a change in work hours, may result in productivity from other actions. The attempt to measure employee output led to an analysis of factors tending to reduce output, and correcting these problems significantly increased productivity. Appendices contain statistics, work order forms, and the forms used to measure em- ployee productivity. PB-300 203/7 PC A03/MF A01 Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc., San Francisco, CA.

Approaches which municipal executives can take to improve productivity in park and street mainte- nance are summarized. This report is based on four 1 - year - long demonstration projects spon- sored by HUD in Dallas, Tex., Fort Wayne, Ind., Hartford, Conn., and Honolulu, Hawaii. Fort Wayne and Hartford worked with park maintenance, Dallas with street maintenance, and Honolulu with both. (Each project is briefly summarized in this volume and is described in detail in a separate volume in this series.) After listing the reasons why increased productivity is the most logical solution to the fiscal problems facing most cities and towns, the discussion explains management by results and work measurement. Techniques for observing productivity include direct observation, employee time reporting, and data gathered from supervisory reports. The development of work standards is ex- plained along with related problems, and targets for productivity improvement are called essential to the success of any effort. Monetary incentives for employees were not used in any of the demon- stration cities. The weekly rating sheets proved in- centive enough for the Honolulu Parks project, and the possibility that work would be contracted out to more productive private firms proved an incentive for a street project. Organizational change, man- agement change, new equipment or better equip- ment use, and employee participation in the change are also discussed. The four appendices give a description of each of the demonstration projects. PB-300 204/5 PC A03/MF A01 Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc., San Francisco, CA.

Fort Wayne, Ind., attempted to improve productiv- ity in park maintenance through development of a work reporting system, changed deployment of mowing personnel, a quality rating survey, changed refuse removal procedures, and im- proved work scheduling. The project was plagued with difficulties stemming from political changes, citywide labor - management relations problems, computer problems, and turnover of consultant personnel. Despite these difficulties, the quality rating survey was implemented, and park refuse removal and work scheduling were improved; how- ever, cost savings were not quantified. The rating survey uses citizen interviews to assess and im- prove the park maintenance program. The refuse removal review resulted in a decision to save money by using larger collection receptacles in the parks and hiring a contractor to collect them; the scheduling changes resulted in more efficient han- dling of winter work, mowing, and litter cleanup. It is concluded with the fact that the problems experi- enced by Fort Wayne were similar to those which could occur in any city, and the fact that improve- ments were made should encourage other munici- pal administrators to try. Work and time reporting should not be overly detailed because if employ- ees feel harassed by the system they will produce data of questionable reliability.

Hartford, Conn., used various work measurement and scheduling procedures to improve productivity in parks maintenance. A new work reporting system calling for new forms and procedures is de- scribed in detail. Systematic efforts were made to reduce use of sick leave and absences without pay, including letters to those with poor records and management interviews. These efforts re- duced the use of leave time 44 percent in the first month of implementation. The city experimented with double - shift operation but dropped this con- cept; however, it retained the 7 a.m. starting time. The most significant changes were made in garage management and equipment maintenance. Be- cause much of the equipment is old, downtime was a considerable problem. Maintenance scheduling, improved supervision of the garage, and a garage operating procedures manual resulted in more maintenance work being successfully accom- plished. Because no baseline data were available, the impact on productivity cannot be measured. However, interviews with city officials indicate that the project improved productivity and gave all levels of government a greater understanding of the problems. It is recommended that future dem- onstration projects be funded for a longer period of time and that those working on the projects deter- mine the feasibility of an idea before spending time gathering data. The appendices contain the letters sent as part of the sick leave project and a sample page from a garage maintenance form.

The interim Parks Maintenance Management System (PMMS) is an information system designed for management level local government personnel interested in improving the delivery of parks main- tenance services through better planning and scheduling of resources. PMMS was developed by the city of Akron, Ohio, and Public Technology, In- corporated, under an Innovative Projects Program grant from HUD. It was tested in the following four cities: Akron, Ohio, Evanston, III., Little Rock, Ark., and San Diego, Calif. Using a mathematical model (sharing algorithm) which takes into account jobs, job components, job - resource links, resources, times and work calendars, trade offs, standards, and job location, the system generates information on necessary resources for critical jobs, the amount of work possible to complete in a specific time limit given the working staff, optimum sched- uling given the job to do and the working staff, etc. In Akron, use of PMMS resulted in a 50 percent increase in the Parks Department 1977 budget, a decrease in citizen complaints about the condition of parks, and a growth in top management's awareness and appreciation of the parks organiza- tion. The system requires a third generation ma- chine with at least 256 K (thousand) bytes of main memory and a FORTRAN IV language capability, 15 minutes of daily operating time per supervisor (after the initial training and implementation period), personnel training in its use consisting of at least four seminars of instruction, commitment to use and support by all levels, biweekly availabil- ity of one - half hour district computer time, and periodic evaluation and update. Cost estimations for technical assistance, implementation, and op- eration are provided in this executive summary to the four separate volumes (project leader's guide, user's manual, technical manual, and technical manual appendix describing the sharing algo- rithm).

One of four manuals providing operation and im- plementation instructions for the Parks Mainte- nance Management System (PMMS), this guide provides nontechnical information necessary to control the implementation process and addresses such issues as determining the applicability of the effort, selecting the project team, and resolving problems encountered during the implementation stage. The implementation stage in general is out- lined as well as the functions and responsibilities of the project leader, the project sponsor, and the project team or teams. PMMS, an information system aiding park management personnel in making budgeting, controlling, allocation, and scheduling decisions, is based on a mathematical model (the sharing algorithm) which takes into ac- count jobs, resources, job components, job - re- source links, time, trade offs, locations, and stand- ards. It makes several assumptions about the job it is designed to solve (e.g., the availability of each resource is known, jobs can be identified and quantified), and has various limitations (e.g., it does not determine maintenance standards, opti- mize crew size, or make judgments regarding per- formance). The system consists of four major com- puter programs - load - update module, edit module, sharing module, and report module ~ and requires extensive planning, data gathering, per- sonnel training, and program and system imple- mentation task activity. A succesful PMMS project will result only if the problem it is designed to solve is large enough, management and management philosophy is committed to its implementation, and the project team works closely with qualified Public Technology, Incorporated, personnel. Figures il- lustrating PMMS planning, implementation, and operation organization, PMMS information flow, and the PMMS task schedule are included, and in- formation on implementation and operation costs and four test projects is appended.

Included are descriptions of the general system, the input and output proc- esses, implementation activities, and system oper- ation. Input involves three basic forms, projected resource availability, goals and accomplishments, and special job forms; output is available in 17 forms (e.g., special jobs, resources available for special jobs, critical jobs and resources, and work crew composition). Tested in Little Rock, Ark., San Diego, Calif., Evanston, III., and Akron, Ohio, PMMS has proven successful in ongoing operation only in Ohio, but this is due, in part, to defective support systems at the other locations. Samples of input and output forms and descriptions of the PMMS algorithm and program are provided as well as the record code legend, record and report de- scriptions, and keypunching instructions.

The Uniform Fire Incident Reporting System (UFIRS) allows for the development of a data base to be used by fire chiefs and local municipal man- agers in planning, decisionmaking, and program evaluation. The system can be used most effec- tively by fire departments serving communities with a monthly incident frequency rate of at least 250. UFIRS is cost effective and can aid in the decision- making and problemsolving associated with the following management functions: planning, budg- eting, personnel, and records; supervision of all operations, including prevention and suppression activities; coordination of communications; sched- uling of inspections and maintenance; develop- ment of training methods and procedures; and measurement of results. Data from UFIRS can be used by municipal managers in the following of- fices and departments: the city manager's or mayor's office; the police, planning, building, and water departments; the attorney's office; the hous- ing authority; the assessor's office; the electrical and gas inspection bureau; and the health and sanitation department. These data are also useful to automatic and mutual aid cities and to organiza- tions such as county heart associations. UFIRS is flexible and can handle several kinds of organiza- tion, both internal to the fire department and within the municipal management structure. UFIRS fits into a total community data base, and its useful- ness can be extended by coordinating it with other information systems, such as a fire prevention data base, a computer - aided dispatch system, and modeling and display systems.

The project team should in- clude representatives from various disciplines that will be affected by the location project, i.e., the civil defense, police, fire, buildings and grounds, data processing, and traffic engineering departments. The team should be headed by a project leader with prior experience in emergency services orga- nizations. Initially, management must define the specific objectives of the ambulance location study and the scope of alternatives to be evaluated, and determine service standards for ambulance re- sponse times. Next, the project team should begin location analysis by collecting and assembling data on demand for ambulance service, identifying existing services and locations, and constructing a network representation of the jurisdiction's street pattern for use in evaluating traveling time from various sites. A flow chart of the location analysis process is provided. PB-300 220/1 PCA08/MFA01 Public Technology, Inc., Washington, DC. Ambulance Services Location Package.

This project operations guide is part of the HUD / PTI (Public Technology, Incorporated) ambulance location package developed to assist local govern- ment administrators in stationing ambulances at optimum sites in a community. The package con- sists of computer programs, worksheets, data forms, and operating and management docu- ments. This guide describes the specific task and data processing requirements needed for the package and includes general background materi- al on the ambulance services location concept and on basic techniques involved in using a project team management approach. The first section pre- sents ideas and guidelines on setting up an ambu- lance location project and developing workplans and worksheets. The section on location analysis covers tested methodology for evaluating site pro- posals. The emphasis is on data collection and thought processes necessary to testing alterna- tives, identifying service needs and demands, and analyzing networks between ambulance service locations and supply points. The final section sum- marizes the computer software for location analy- sis and describes the two computer programs in- volved: PATH, used to calculate the fastest travel time or the shortest distance between every poten- tial ambulance, and AMBLOC, used for examining the capability of a fixed site configuration to re- spond to focal points within time constraints. Ap- pendices contain a glossary, source materials, op- tional ambulance resource management strate- gies, sample computer output displays, and a sample report format.

Instructions for using the computer programs and data forms contained in the HUD Leisure Services Location Project are presented. The HUD / PTI (Public Technology, Incorporated) package assists local government personnel in planning for new leisure services and facilities and in assessing the adequacy of existing ones, based on the proximity of leisure facilities to potential users. Beginning with an overview of the location study process, the guide goes on to explain the various study parts - service, network, alternative, and feasibility analy- sis -- and data processing. The latter involves two computer programs, PATH - a program that calcu- lates the shortest path between two points, and LESURLOC - an analysis program that examines the capability of a fixed site configuration to re- spond to focal points within distance constraints. Performed in sequence, the four location analyses comprise a complete methodology for analyzing alternative site proposals. They acquaint the team with available services, require preparation of a street network for computing travel distances, in- volve testing proposals for locating leisure serv- ices using the street network, set priorities for serv- ices, and identify factors which could make a pro- posal for leisure services acceptable, such as con- venience, cost, or implementation possibilities. Figures and tables describe the problemsolving process, street network concepts, service site worksheets, PATH and LESURLOC run policy forms, directional coding, various file formats, input requirements, cost comparisons, sample cost esti- mation worksheets, comparison of distance stand- ards with observed values, and computer program characteristics and running requirements.

Written for municipal chief executives, elected offi- cials, and department heads concerned with the planning and delivery of leisure services, this man- agement report briefly outlines the procedure for implementing a leisure facility location study and explains how to organize a project team for this purpose. In addition to this document, the HUD / PTI (Public Technology, Incorporated) Leisure Service Location Package consists of computer programs, worksheets, data forms, and a project operation guide. The package can be used for a variety of purposes from assessing the need for proposed park and recreation facilities to relocat- ing and expanding or reducing services at an exist- ing facility. The project team should include mem- bers of various government departments, such as building and grounds, finance, parks and recrea- tion, and traffic engineering, and be headed by a project leader responsible for handling liaison with the various organizations involved, ensuring ad- ministrative and technical aspects are executed promptly and accurately, and reporting results of team activities to appropriate decisionmakers. A leisure services location study should be conduct- ed at the beginning of a leisure facilities project to gather and assemble information on population distribution, location of existing facilities, and travel distances to facilities from different parts of the community. This data will be necessary for making management and policy decisions on such issues as types of services needed, the extent and nature of service demand, the feasibility of consolidating existing services and facilities, and the possibility of cutting cost factors.

A purchasing guide which can be used by smaller jurisdictions is presented. This noncomputerized system uses information which is developed local- ly, and although no new employees have been needed by the municipalities and counties which have implemented it, additional administrative time has been necessary to monitor it and to handle complaints. However, the centralized purchasing has resulted in significant savings. The system is explained step by step, beginning with the pur- chase requisition, through the purchase order, filing system, bid procedure, development of standards, drawing up of specifications, property control, receiving and paying, and development of a purchasing manual. The purchase requisition, purchase order, and filing system are presented as the basic system, absolutely necessary if a local government decides to organize its purchasing methods. The bid policy and procedure and the adoption of standards and specifications are nec- essary for the purchase of large scale items. Prop- erty control may become necessary, and some sort of inventory control is highly desirable. Various levels of control are presented. Emergency pur- chases, petty cash funds, limited purchase allowances, blanket orders, and cooperative buying are discussed. Receiving reports are ex- plained as well as accounting controls to make sure that all goods ordered are received. A manual is recommended to reduce problems and aid in training employees. Appendices include a check- list for the evaluation of existing purchasing meth- ods and sample forms. PB-300 225/0 PC A02/MF A01 Southeast Georgia Area, Waycross, GA.

Methods to standardize personnel practices and improve personnel management are discussed in this report. The benefits include lower employee turnover, improved employee satisfaction, and procedures which prevent difficulties and abuses. This guide emphasizes the constant input and in- volvement of the chief elected official and the ad- ministrative officers of the jurisdiction. The proce- dure begins with a review of the literature on the area's social, economic, and employment charac- teristics and the gathering of data from a variety of sources on practices and budget problems which will affect the personnel plan. The use of an out- side consultant familiar with personnel work to help develop the plan is assumed, and the impor- tance of good rapport between this consultant and the government's officials is emphasized. The actual system development involves drawing up an organizational chart, writing job descriptions, classifying the various jobs, developing a pay plan which allows for merit increases, setting minimum wage and overtime policies, establishing leave policies, and setting up disciplinary and grievance policies and procedures. A training type approach is recommended for the plan's implementation, and the problems which may arise are discussed. A personnel plan is difficult to develop and must have full cooperation and support from all adminis- trative officers or its benefits will not be realized.

Because the city permit approval process in Salem, Oreg., was slow, costly, and inefficient, the city initiated Project Permit Streamline in 1976 to analyze the various permit operations and investi- gate possibilities for centralizing permit and license operations, developing a permit and license cata- log, automating related data systems, and stand- ardizing, consolidating, or eliminating permits and licenses. Eleven agencies had licensing responsi- bilities for permits related to aesthetic business construction, land use, and social factors. As a result of the project, the Permit Application Center (PAC) was established using existing permit staffs. Elements of the new center include a batch filing system, an automated revenue accounting system, a permit and license catalog with all avail- able permit forms, and standardized permit forms. The project staff was able to consolidate four per- mits into a new permit but was not successful in eliminating any forms. The project staff hopes to streamline licensing procedures, automate statisti- cal recordkeeping, set up a conference system for reviewing major development projects, and estab- lish systematized microfilming. The appendices contain tables on comparative building statistics for 1970 and 1976, data sheet supplemental, samples of permit forms and consolidated permits, and the PAC implementation plan.

The State of Oregon coordinated the independent efforts of three of its cities - Salem, Eugene, and Portland - to improve their slow and costly city permit and license processing systems. Oregon began a permit coordination center in the Intergov- ernmental Relations Division of the executive branch in 1975, and this office, responsible for studying local permit systems and facilitating im- provement efforts, coordinated the information ex- change between Portland, Eugene, and Salem during their HUD - sponsored improvement pro- jects. Portland's approach to the problem first in- volved consolidating the three permit - issuing of- fices within the Bureau of Buildings, and then using this project as a model for an ongoing effort to es- tablish a citywide permit applications center. The city of Salem originally planned to standardize, consolidate, and eliminate redundant permits and licenses in city departments, increase citywide permit coordination, and establish a permit infor- mation center. These objectives, however, were expanded to include the implementation of a new administrative office - a single permit application center for issuing, along with permits, a new stand- ardized revenue accounting form. A technical management improvement strategy based on the development of a computer program and a system of terminals tied into the city's master computer system was implemented in Eugene. This auto- mated system is capable of integrating with a geo- graphic base file or a land use maintenance system for planning, and can integrate the permit record system with a revenue accounting system. The project plans, costs, implementation activities, and results are described for each of the cities. Tables illustrate project costs. (Author abstract modified).

Portland, Salem, and Eugene, Oreg., assisted by a HUD Community Development Innovative Projects Program grant, implemented projects to simplify and streamline regulatory permit systems that were becoming too costly and time consuming. Each jurisdiction attacked its own problems under its own project leader and produced a final report. The objectives were as follows: (1) Portland - im- prove referral procedures for permit applicants, im- prove public service orientation of employees, consolidate permit counters in the city's nine bureau buildings, and clarify permit procedures and instructions; (2) Salem - centralize permit and license operations, develop a permit and license catalog, analyze the feasibility of automating relat- ed data systems, and standardize, consolidate, or eliminate permits and licenses if possible; and (3) Eugene - improve internal use of information, im- prove service to clients, and improve compliance and enforcement of permits. Several innovations resulted from these projects. In Portland, the Bureau of Buildings was physically reorganized to provide better access and service to customers, with an indicated cost savings of $84,200 per year. In Salem, a permit application center was devel- oped so that clients can apply for all permits at a single location. Salem also developed standard- ized permit forms for some functions as well as a permit catalog. Preliminary evidence suggests that Salem permits can be processed 43 percent faster at a cost savings of 42 percent. In Eugene, an ex- isting computerized building permit management system was modified to simplify operator proce- dures, improve access to permit and plan checking information, enhance reporting, and produce com- puter - generated maps of permit activity. The State of Oregon also benefited from the projects since the Intergovernmental Relations Division in- creased its familiarity with the local government regulatory system problems.

Alternative methods for four northeastern Minne- sota cities to meet the State Building Code inspec- tion requirements are presented as part of the work program of the Missabe Intergovernmental Project for improving local government services through cooperative programs. The State of Min- nesota requires all cities which have adopted the State Building Code (this includes most cities) to have all new construction inspected by a State - certified inspector. At the time of this study, none of the four project cities (Gilbert, Eveleth, Mountain Iron, and Virginia) was in compliance with this law. Current inspection procedures for each of the four communities were examined and results are re- ported. Alternatives for improving building inspec- tion are submitted in the following areas: combina- tions for using qualified inspectors jointly in the four communities, fees for permits, financing of in- spection services, inspection forms and records, support revenue, and inspection process and review. Recommendations for a systematic up- grading of building inspections to meet State re- quirements were not adopted by the community representatives on the steering committee. Eve- leth and Gilbert did not want to expend additional sums to enforce the State building code until the State forced compliance. Mountain Iron did hire its own inspector who agreed to prepare for the State certification examination. Two members of the en- gineering staff of Virigina are working toward State certification for inspections. The appendices pro- vide a sample ordinance for the creation of the office of building inspector and a job description for the building inspector position. 223 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB-300 238/3 PC A03/MF A01 Arrowhead Regional Development Commission, Virginia, MN.

This study, as part of the Missabe Intergovernmen- tal Project that examined alternatives for improving productivity in municipal services, explored ways in which four communities in northeastern Minnesota might cooperate in dealing with animal control. Representatives from the communities of Eveleth, Gilbert, Mountain Iron, and Virginia formed a study committee that examined existing operations, or- dinances, personnel, facilities, and costs relating to animal control in each of the communities. The following alternatives for improvement were then considered: (1) the expansion and joint use of pound facilities in Virginia, (2) the use of animal control officers to serve the area of the four com- munities, (3) areawide licensing of animals, and (4) areawide funding of animal control operations. Of the alternative actions considered, the expansion and joint use of the Virginia pound facilities accord- ing to a cost - sharing formula was the only recom- mendation adopted for submission to the city councils; it was accepted by all of them. Reasons for rejecting the other alternatives and accepting the proposal for joint use of the Virginia pound are discussed. Data on existing animal control oper- ations are provided. Illustrations show animal con- trol comparisons for the four communities, dog li- censes sold the last three years, current animal control budgets, a checklist of alternatives, a joint pound based on Virginia's budget, areawide animal control officers and joint pound personnel, per capita costs, and a cost breakdown.

This 1 977 fire protection study, part of the Missabe Intergovernmental Project, dealt with alternatives for improving productivity in municipal services, and considered alternatives for improving the de- livery of fire services to two small communities in northeastern Minnesota - Eveleth and Virginia. The study committee originally included official representatives from the Gilbert and Mountain Iron fire departments who withdrew when it appeared that joint efforts might threaten the autonomy of local fire departments. Representatives from the Mountain Iron department attended committee meetings as observers. Data on the personnel, op- erations, costs, and needs of the two fire depart- ments are reported, and alternatives for improving services are discussed. The consolidation of com- munications, the development of a centralized brush and grass fire unit, a centralized administra- tion, and a fully consolidated fire department were the alternatives considered. Implementation of a combined high frequency communications system was recommended, and it was decided that if the city councils dealt with this recommendation favor- ably, there could be future attempts to centralize other segments of fire protection service or con- solidate the two departments. Since the city coun- cils of Virginia, Eveleth, and Gilbert had already re- jected a study committee's recommendation for complete consolidation of police departments, ac- ceptance of the consolidation of fire services was not likely. While the outcome recommendations are not innovative, it is believed that the planning process, the organization of the study, and the dif- ficulties encountered can be helpful to other com- munities undertaking similar studies. Data derived from the study are included. PB-300 244/1 PC A10/MF A01 Urban Institute, Washington, DC, Efficiency Measurement for Local Government Services: Some Initial Suggestions Harry P.

Efficiency measurement is examined in the follow- ing public services: (1) water supply, (2) police ap- prehension of criminals, (3) central purchasing, and (4) group residential care for children. Be- cause the traditional approach to efficiency mea- surement which merely divides the number of direct labor hours by the number of physical units of output frequently overlooks two major factors - quality and workload difficulty - , the following two major recommendations concerning efficiency measurement are offered: (1 ) the quality of outputs produced should be explicitly considered and in- corporated into the efficiency measurement proc- ess, and (2) differences in the difficulty of the in- coming workload and its effect on outputs should be explicitly considered and incorporated into the efficiency measurement process. Approaches for implementing these recommendations are dis- cussed, and issues in estimating the costs of gov- ernment activities are also considered. The follow- ing methods of allocating direct labor hours to spe- cific activities, an important element in estimating costs, are evaluated: (1) regular timekeeping by employees, (2) timekeeping for a sample of em- ployees for a sample of time periods, (3) use of work sampling in which a large number of points in time are examined to determine employee activi- ties at those times, and (4) examination of a sample of cases to estimate the resources ex- pended on each. The handling of ontime invest- ment costs is also considered. The appendix in- cludes a list of cost elements for group residential care, a discussion of the measurement of social functioning, and a bibliography for measuring the efficiency of group residential care for children.

The Rhode Island counterpart partnerships for smaller governments' productivity were aimed at the problems of smaller local governments with 20,000 to 75,000 constituents. The State Depart- ment of Community Affairs (DCA) planned to im- prove the efficiency and effectiveness of local gov- ernments by promoting the systematic use of per- formance measures (quantitative indicators of achievement which can be compared from one time period to the next and which provide an indi- cation of local government productivity). The city of Newport intended to develop and implement performance measures in the areas of police, fire, public works, and recreation. The communities of Bristol, Pawtucket, and South Kingston each se- lected public works, and North Kingston selected police service to implement performance meas- ures. Halfway through the project, it was discov- ered that local governments diverged too widely to be useful on key characteristics such as the so- phistication of recordkeeping procedures for simple transfers of performance measures. In ad- dition, local officials wanted performance meas- ures unique to their jurisdiction and situation. DCA staff, however, were still able to help local govern- ments make substantial improvements in the effi- ciency and effectiveness of local operations, and the following general conclusions were drawn from the project: (1) efforts to improve productivity must be geared to the level of sophistication within the target agency; (2) technical assistance, provided by a central agency, is a highly effective way to improve the productivity of local governments; (3) close interaction between the agency providing the technical assistance and the recipient agen- cies is almost mandatory if positive change is to take place; and (4) central administrators must be committed to change before such change can occur. The project approach was flexible enough to provide the assistance that agencies wanted even though the original objective to develop a standard set of performance measures was overly optimistic.

The study synthesizes available information on the proposed transit alternatives for Southeastern Michigan. An investment in additional transit would accomplish a number of regional objectives. It would stimulate the economic vitality of the region, improve accessibility, reduce traffic congestion, maintain air quality, provide for the flexibility to con- serve energy, and slow urban sprawl. The South- eastern Michigan Transportation Authority has proposed six transit alternatives. Each of the alter- natives include improvements to the existing public transit system: small bus; express bus; feeder bus; commuter rail; and the addition of a downtown people mover for circulation in Detroit's central business district. Four of the alternatives also in- clude a light rail system which differs in length and in the extent to which its alignment is subsurface. A major issue in public discussion has been the mag- nitude of the development which would be stimu- lated within the region's urban core as a result of an investment in transit.

The project began regular operations in July 1974 as an emergency fixed-route transit system, insti- tuted with funding from the Federal Disaster As- sistance Administration in April 1974, after Xenia was struck by a tornado. The system evolved in stages from the original relief measure of a free- fare fixed-route bus system, to a flat-fare fixed- route system, a jitney system, dial-a-ride servicle, and culminated in a mix of differentially-priced par- atransit services operated with taxi vehicles. The system was operated by a public agency (phase one) and later by a private contractor (phase two). The demonstration served as a test of several al- ternative transit services operated in a small city setting. Several fare structure alternatives were also implemented and provided data for the analy- sis of the impact of fare changes on ridership.

The operation of heavy freight vehicles brings both benefits and disbenefits. It has been argued that to decide effectively upon the desired balance we re- quire the best possible understanding of the nature and range of the effects of operating these vehi- cles; of the magnitudes of the benefits obtained and the costs incurred; and of the distribution within the community of these benefits and costs. Within the scope of present knowledge and the limit on the size of the paper, examples have been presented to demonstrate that on some issues it is already possible to draw together objective infor- mation of the type required. However, it is conclud- ed that on other issues it is not yet possible to pro- vide valid relationships between vehicle size, costs and benefits and that in some cases, where the effects are even more difficult to define, it is unlike- ly that such relationships could ever be developed. In addition, even where numerical relationships are available, in some cases the effects are so dispa- rate or complex that it is not possible to express the results of all evaluations in terms of a single common unit (for example, cash values).

The improving economic outlook is documented for resource recovery from municipal solid waste (MSW) which renders some recently developed processes both economically and ecologically su- perior to sanitary landfill disposal and conventional incineration. A novel recovery scheme is outlined for the separation of copper, zinc, and lead from the non-ferrous metals fraction obtained in front- end processing of mixed municipal refuse (MMR). The shredding and air classification of MSW in the dry state is illustrated in a flow chart. Present esti- mates of front-end separation costs of the most common classes of reclaimed materials such as iron scrap, aluminum, glass, non-ferrous fraction (NFF) and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) are depicted in table form. Other tables include a summary and comparison of costs and credits for recovered ma- terials. A discussion of energy recovery includes block diagrams of the Linde Oxygen Refuse con- verter, the Homer and Shifrin, Inc. Process, and a comparison of selecter energy programs. Also dis- cussed are resource recovery by private enter- prise, a Scheme for the separation of non-ferrous metals, ferrofluid levitation, electrolytic recovery of copper, processing of electrolyte and anode slime, and projected economics.

Federal grant outlays have not been sig- nificantly affected. Surplus State and local govern- ment funds, a strong economic climate, and in- creased charges for government services all served to avoid the dire consequences predicted for Proposition 13.

The primary objectives of this study are: to investi- gate and evaluate the nature of new bus designs which better accommodate the primary functions of public transit, if the fundamental constraint of on-board, driver monitored, fare collection were re- moved; to postulate and assess new off-board fare collection methods that would complement such bus designs; and to assess the potential synergis- tic effects of new buses/new fare collection sys- tems that serve to improve transit efficiency and productivity, and overall service to the riding public. The design concept effort was focused on the standard 40-foot transit bus, although poten- tially relevant to other sizes of buses. The report examines the potential impact on transit bus design of freeing the bus designer from the con- straint that fares must be collected and monitored on-board the bus by the driver. Conceptual transit bus designs are developed, which offer the poten- tial for operating cost reductions and substantial improvements in passenger service characteris- tics. Current U.S. fare collection costs and total bus operating costs are assessed and compared to those possible with new buses and compatible off-board fare collection systems. The report con- tains new buses and compatible off-board fare col- lection systems. The report contains considerable information on both bus design and fare collection system trends in the U.S. and Western Europe. Al- though this study focused on the standard 40-foot transit bus, results indicate that operational bene- fits of off-board fare collection become greater on high capacity vehicles rather than on 40-foot tran- sit buses.

The report evaluates the Golden Gate Vanpool Demonstration Project activities begun in October 1 977. The objective of the demonstration is to suc- cessful promote commuter ridesharing through vanpools. The project grantee, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, is a multi-modal transportation agency which operates buses and ferries and sponsors club buses, with control of a toll bridge and joint control of a High Occupancy vehicle (HOV) highway lane that feeds into it and leads to the San Francisco employment area. The Golden Gate Corridor presents a set of conditions ideal for vanpool formation: a single congested traffic corridor with an exclusive HOV lane leading into a major employment center via a toll bridge. The vanpool facilitator controls the toll booth and actively promotes ridesharing by allow- ing free bridge passage for 3-person or larger car- polls and for vanpools. The report describes oper- ating characteristics and documents planning im- plementation stages. Analyses of service levels, demand, productivity, marketing strategies, and vanpooler demographics are presented. The report points out that the Golden Gate Project clearly demonstrates that a public transit authority can facilitate vanpool formation and that issues once viewed as constraints, such as 13(c) agree- ments and reasonable insurance coverage, can be negotiated.

The principal objectives of this test program were to evaluate the ability of the Energy Storage (ES) System to: reduce propulsion energy usage; reduce propulsion power demands; and reduce tunnel heating caused by propulsion energy use. This report describes the test and evaluation of the ES system for rapid transit cars. The characteris- tics of the system were investigated in the real world by installing the novel equipment under two New York City subway cars and operating the cars both under test track conditions and in revenue service on several lines of the New York City Tran- sit System. Tunnel heating effects, power reduc- tion, gyroscopic forces, and other characteristics were investigated and evaluated. Overall propul- sion energy reductions of 14-26%, as compared with conventional equipment, were measured in revenue service operations. Further reductions should be attainable by this system, if improve- ments derived from this test program were to be incorporated into the equipment and control con- figuration. The authors state that the equipment tested under the two R-32 cars demonstrated that on-board flywheel energy storage is an impressive means for achieving major savings in transit car propulsion energy. Part II of this report describes the methods for applying the energy conservation data to rapid transit systems other than New York's. Appendixes are provided which give spe- cific information on the New York subway routes and on the instrumentation used. PB-300 952/9 PC A04/MF A01 Texas Transportation Inst., College Station.

Every sector of urban transportation faces the problems of rising costs, limited funds, and deplet- ing resources with which to provide for increasing travel demands. Getting the greatest production out of the existing transportation facilities is the goal of every transportation agency. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Trans- portation recently approved for testing the concept of increasing roadway capacity on urban freeways by restripping the mainline pavement with narrow- er lane widths and encroaching on the shoulder to create one additional lane for travel. Two modified sections of U.S. 59 Southwest Freeway in Houston were selected for study. Before and after data were collected over a four-year period to deter- mine the effectiveness of reconfiguring the surface geometrices of freeways.

The industrial model identifies the location of sites for the industrial development forecasted for the study area. The model for industrial land use allo- cation includes four major components. First, be- cause of the importance of industrial impacts, a method was developed for classifying industrial employment into categories which were similar in terms of their potential for air and water pollution and their expected generation of solid waste. Second, a method was developed for translating employment forecasts for the study area into demand for land within the study area. The third step in the model identifies sites available for in- dustrial development based on a variety of factors including material characteristics such as slope and depth to bedrock and institutional characteris- tics such as appropriate zoning. The final compo- nent of the model provides a method for selecting the best sites for development from among those that are available. This method of selection is based on economic calculations of the cost of de- veloping the sites. The allocation of industrial land demand to available sites is based on the assump- 227 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT tion that an industry will chose the site with the lowest development cost.

The main concern of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of new concepts and modification of existing concepts by which the Federal government can encourage the deploy- ment of the most appropriate innovation in urban mass transit. In order to perform the study, infor- mation was gathered on the problems facing the innovation process and possible methods that could alleviate these problems. Fifteen concepts were examined by which UMTA could strengthen its role in the technology deployment phase of the innovation process. From the in-depth discussions based on a questionnaire with nine members of the transit industry, the transit operators identified uncertainty over future Federal design and per- formance guidelines as the single major barrier to new product introduction. The transit suppliers cited uncertainties over the stability and volume of annual product sales, opportunity costs of fore- gone investments, and lowest-bid procurement as their barriers. Of the 15 concepts, six were ranked as highly feasible and effective: (1) standard set of performance guidelines; (2) lowest life-cycle cost procurements; (3) Federal grants for the purchase and test of limited production quantities; (4) coordi- nation of transit products orders by UMTA; (5) use of Federal capital incentives to influence local au- thorities to adopt regulations to encourage transit use; and (6) formation of a transit operators and supplies committee to facilitate greater coopera- tion in the development cycle. In-depth analysis was performed on the six selected concepts and examples of UMTA programs incorporating recom- mended concepts were discussed.

The characteristics assessed were legend recognition distance, reliability, constructional quality and costs. In daylight the rcognition dis- tances of the numerals as tested on the matrix and roller-blind signals were similar, but at night the latter were greater. In good visibility, numerals of a given size on the better of the two roller-blind sig- nals would have had the longest recognition dis- tance of the signals tested. This might be expected because the edges of the numerals were more clearly delineated than those on the matrix signals. PB-301 067/5 PC A03/MF A01 Columbia Univ., New York.

The report concerns the need to reduce energy costs by examining the most effiecent method of obtaining fuel gas generated from refuse convert- ers in New York City. The most profitable situation exists when a refuse converter installation is locat- ed immediately adjacent to a utility boiler. If gas has to be piped over distances through city streets in order to pass to the utility boiler, it becomes quite expensive. An alternative is to burn the com- pressed gas and expand it though a gas turbine generator so that the energy equivalent may be re- covered in the form of electricity and fed directly into the power distribution network. A trade-off study to determine the cost penalty which attaches to gas transmission as a function of distance and the cost of gas turbine generated power as a func- tion of generator capacity is described. Quantita- tive results of the trade-off calculations are sum- marized. Costs of gas turbine power generated are compared with costs of gas transmission by pipe- line. The appendix gives the characterization of the fuel gas produced by the PUROX Oxygen Refuse Converter system as used in the calculations, the calculation methods, and investment and operat- ing costs.

Keywords: 'Urban transportation, 'Buses(Vehicles), Cost estimates, Services, Oper- ating costs, Revenues, Productivity, Fleets, Evalu- ation, Comparison, Dial a bus systems, Minibuses. A comparison is made of the costs of operating dial-a-bus, minibus and conventional bus service. The costs are based on the standard NBC costing of the experimental dial-a-bus service in Harlow and the fixed route services which succeeded it, but are analysed in such a way as to pertain to the general question of wheter to operate minibuses or conventional buses. It is concluded that, although a minibus fleet can be operated at about 80 per cent of the cost of a fleet of conventional buses, small vehicles genrally cannot be employed during the peak hours. Thus even an off-peak minibus service must bear the full standing costs of the ve- hicles. This effect more than offsets the lower unit cost of the small vehicles for the operation of off- peak services. Because of their small capacity, it is unlikely that minibuses could achieve sufficient productivity to cover their operating costs from rev- enue. The necessary provision of spare vehicles was found to represent a high standing cost for the operation of small minibus fleets. In addition, the control costs for a small dial-a-bus service resulted in costs of between 25 and 65 per cent more than an equivalent minibus service, in all cases, the re- source costs of operating a bus service were found to be greater than the operator's costs.

Results are described of experiments conducted in Mississippi, California, and Oregon testing the ef- fectiveness of speed control signs in rural school zones and small communities on high-speed, two- lane highways. Signs tested included existing sign- ing, a reduced speed ahead sign, speed limit and reduced speed ahead signs coupled with hazard 228 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT identification beacons, and a speed violation sign activated when a driver exceeded the speed limit in effect. Also, roadside interviews were conducted at the sites and a questionnaire booklet was ad- ministered to groups to assist in determining the ability of each of the signs to increase safety and improve driver awareness of potential hazards. The questionnaire booklet provided information on public reaction and understanding of the signs. Re- sults indicated that the combination of signs and hazard identification beacons and the speed viola- tion sign provided the most substantial improve- ment in reducing speeds and increasing aware- ness of roadside conditions for both small commu- nities and school zones.

The purpose of the housing model is to determine the future development pattern of residential land use. The model determines the amounts and types of new residential development and locates the various housing types on particular sites on the basis of developer's profit. The model simulates the working of the market mechanism based on the assumption that developers choose sites which maximize the profit from development. The model distinguishes a total of seven single-family and five multiple-family structure types for new construction. New construction must satisfy hous- ing demand from households in migrating to the area, new households, and household moving within the area. The socio-economic characteris- tics of households in each enumeration district are updated based on the location of new construction and housing choices made by households moving into the area.

The institutions model formalizes the decision processes that plan the size and location of public institutional facilities. For the most part, the simu- lated planning involves the construction of new capital facilities. The model has been worked out in detail for the planning of public elementary and secondary schools. Since new school facilities are provided in response to population changes, the school's model and the housing model are closely linked. Demand for school facilities (the number of children likely to enroll in public schools, by type of school) is estimated using the sixty household types allocated by the housing model. At the town level, this estimate of demand is used to determine whether new facilities will be built; within towns, the distribution of households is used as a guide in lo- cating new schools. When new facilities are con- structed, the associated capital expenditures are used by the fiscal model in determining each town's caapital budget and tax rate. These two linkages, plus the accounting of land allocated to public use in the data base, allow the modeling of school construction-with its accompanying land use and fiscal impacts-to be responsive to popula- tion changes.

It relies on existing data to de- scribe its present status, reviews the literature, and contributes new analyses of its causes. Essential- ly, the focus is on metropolitan segregation-the exclusion of blacks from suburban areas rather than on neighborhood segregation that character- izes the ghettos of major cities. The consequences of residential segregation are examined within a very limited framework, concentrating on econom- ic consequences with respect to black-white dis- parities in unemployment, occupational status, and income. Although policy implications are defined, they are limited by the extent of the analysis. The scope, organization, and limitations of this endeav- or are described in detail.

A pollution-free system is developed for the eco- nomic utilization of municipal refuse with specific reference to New York City. Based on a technical and economic appraisal of advanced technology applicable to the collection and disposal of solid waste, an integrated solution is proposed which embraces, among others, the following elements to be integrated and implemented over a period of five to ten years: (1) demonstrate the Union Car- bide Oxygen Refuse Converter (ORC) on a scale of 200 to 250 tons per day to confirm technical feasibility and cost projections; (2) initiate the design of a 1000 tpd OTC plant to replace the ob- solescent 1000 tpd incinerator at Betts Avenue, Queens; (3) make plans for the replacement of the remaining six obsolescent air-polluting incinerators with ORC units and do not proceed with the ex- penditure of sixty million dollars for upgrading the 229 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT quality of stack emissions from these incinerators as currently planned; and (4) develop plans for dis- continuing all landfill operations as additional ORC units are authorized, constructed, and put into op- eration. In order to document the technical and economic considerations that have led to the se- lection of the high-temperature slagging pyrolysis (Union Carbide ORC System) as the key element in the proposed solution, a series of four position papers was prepared to assess advanced technol- ogy in four categories of solid waste technology: Thermal Oxidation Processes, Biochemical Con- version Processes, Refuse Collection Technology, and Reclamation and Recycling.

Pyrolysis versus ocean dumping of sewage sludge is examined as a means to dispose of municipal solid wastes in the City of New York. Pyrolysis re- sults in cost reduction, energy recovery, and an en- vironmental advantage compared to present pro- cedures of ocean dumping. The process of pyroly- sis involves the conversion of sewage sludge to a clean fuel gas and an inert, fused frit with a net production of energy. Heat treating the sludge eliminates the need for sludge digestion. Recom- mendations include prototype tests to validate a sludge dewatering process proposed in this report, plans for heat treatment and centrifugation units made in advance of plans for new sludge digestion facilities, and specific locations for centralized pyr- olysis units. The basis for process design is the total system of eleven Water Pollution Control Plants which now use ocean dumping for the ulti- mate disposal of digested sewage sludge. For the purpose of comparing the proposed process of pyrolysis with ocean dumping, the respective capi- tal and operating costs are roughly appraised.

The 1975 North Dakota Legislature established a legislative branch research and information pro- gram, the Regional Environmental Assessment Program (REAP). The concept of REAP is that of a comprehensive and integrated system for assess- ment of the impact of natural resource develop- ment on economic, social, and environmental pa- rameters. The system was designed to serve pri- marily the legislature and state agencies; and, sec- ondly, political subdivisions, federal agencies, pri- vate industry, institutions of higher education, and the public. Resolution of the following issues con- cerning REAP are reviewed: REAP as a scientific computing center; providing and developing serv- ices; adding staff vs. contractual agreements; charges; funding; geographical area of interest; scientific and technical activities; role with respect to state data; and service to state government. REAP's effort in issue identification and resolution identified problem areas that may be applicable to other states considering development of scientific and technological capabilities for state legisla- tures.

The research examines the feasibility of off-hours delivery - delivery of goods and services between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. - as a technique for reducing the adverse impact of delivery vehicles on urban traf- fic. The state-of-the-art of off-hours delivery and its financial and institutional constraints are present- ed. The information analyzed in this report was ob- tained through personal interviews with elected of- ficials, planning officials, traffic engineers, union representatives, and a broad cross-section of busi- nesses which serve the central business districts of Washington, D.C.; Denver, Colorado; Atlanta, Georgia; and San Francisco, California. Many busi- nesses already use off-hours pickups and deliv- eries and are quite content with such operations. Enough carriers provide off-hours service that there is little difficulty in obtaining such pickups and deliveries. Should there be a gradual shift toward more off-hours operations, the carriers would probably continue to maintain adequate service. Most of the interviewees recognized the advantages of efficiency and avoidance of con- gestion that are inherent with off-hours operation but felt that they are offset by increased labor and management costs. The interviewees could fore- see no certain economic advantages to be gained with off-hours pickups and deliveries; the societal advantages associates with reduced congestion were viewed as remote. 231 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PB80-102163 PC A03/MF A01 Federal Highway Administration, Washington, DC.

This assessment of the environmental impact of resource recovery examines the environmental ef- fects that will derive from municipal solid waste disposal in 1990 and the changes in these effects that will result from implementation of resource re- covery from municipal solid waste. The environ- mental effects considered in this study are the direct effects of municipal solid waste disposal as well as the secondary effects of substituting mate- rials recovered from municipal solid waste for raw materials in the production of steel, aluminum, glass, and energy. The energy aspects of resource recovery-that is, energy conservation resulting from use of recovered scrap in materials produc- tion and energy production by recovery of energy from municipal solid waste-are also evaluated. The analysis is based on specific scenarios for mu- nicipal solid waste disposal in 1990 without and with implementation of resource recovery.

Provid- ing housing for a broader economic range of fami- lies could improve the situation. Unless action is taken, continued financial deterioration and in- creased dependence on Federal subsidies may result. No simple solution exists to motivate hous- ing agencies to house a broader range of low- income families instead of the poorest house- holds.

Emphasis is on future development with due consideration to the choices between development and growth and conservation and control. Another issue to consid- er is in what manner the various ethnic, religious, and minority cultures will be treated in this process of choice. Alternative patterns of living in Albuquer- que and Tucson are discussed as are those in three rural areas and small towns. Implementation of possible population controls in the Southwest are presented. Cities provide greater individual choice, more varied opportunities, and greater pri- vacy. Smaller communities offer more opportuni- ties for purposeful direction and participation. Communities probably will continue to opt for growth, but the important principle is that individ- uals and groups have the opportunity to express their choices.

Guidelines are presented to assist state and local government officials to effectively manage energy conservation programs. Conservation is the best approach to cope with rising energy costs. The three basic options for reducing consumption of major fossil fuels are to (1) reduce the use of energy-demanding equipment or practices, (2) in- crease the efficiency of energy consuming equip- ment, and (3) consume less critical fuels by switch- ing to alternative energy sources. Factors involved in planning conservation programs are discussed with emphasis on a dual thrust, one directed inward toward governmental operations and the other toward the private sector and community.

This study represents the first of a two - phase effort to determine how the Federal Government should spend scarce resources to improve hous- ing of low - income families in southern rural areas. Findings are based on a 20 - month examination of 12 planning and development districts located in Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, and the Ozarks. The major housing problems in the rural areas studied consisted of incomplete plumbing and major structural deficiencies within the units them- selves. The rural housing problem is complicated by the following factors: (1) the largest share of this substandard housing is occupied by persons 65 years of age or older; (2) the greater proportion of such housing is occupied by persons who live rent free; (3) rural substandard housing tends to be isolated; (4) standards concerning complete plumbing are based on public health consider- ations for urban areas; and (5) the rural family's satisfaction with or attachment to a house does not seem to be related to its condition as de- scribed by housing standards. Particular study find- ings relate to housing market analyses, consum- ers, housing conditions, financial institutions, Farmers Home Administration, builders, mobile homes, development and delivery mechanisms, economics, financial secondary data, and census and legal findings. A discussion is included also on supply of and demand for rural housing in the areas studied. An appendix describes the sample selection procedure and survey instruments.

Current counts are taken from the canvasses made during the period February 7, 1977, to May 14, 1977. Housing units are defined as living quarters occupied by a person identified in the canvass as a head of household or vacant quarters normally so occupied. Current year va- cancies include housing units identified as occu- pied in the previous canvass (1976) that are now vacant and newly constructed units which are vacant. Two - canvass vacancies are housing units that were found vacant at the time of the 1 976 and 1977 canvasses. Polk's basic unit of control in compiling this report is the street address; a street address is equivalent to a structure, and the count of housing units at an address usually reflects the number of units in a structure. Net change in va- cancies consists of three components: (1) change due to street addresses (structures) added or de- leted; (2) change in the occupancy of existing housing units; and (3) change due to vacant units added or deleted in existing street addresses.

Analysis of the first 2 years of program data, including two series of landlord and house- hold interviews, indicates that the program helps participants but has little effect on others. In light of this finding, initial research plans focusing on measuring marketwide effects should be reviewed and adjusted. The HASE staff proposes that con- tinued research measure the quantity of housing services but with a new emphasis on cross - sec- tional as distinguished from longitudinallanalysis. HASE research on residential mobility and neigh- borhood change shouldMbe directed at three goals: (1) monitor the frequency and spacial pat- terns of enrollees' moves, (2) determine the ef- 234 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT fects of the program on recipients' mobility and their neighborhoods, and (3) increase understand- ing of the process of local mobility and its implica- tion for Federal housing policy. HASE should seek explanations for the low rates of participation in transfer programs, generally, and housing allow- ance programs specifically, and for the different participation rates of various types of households. The program's effect on participants should still be examined, and research on community and client attitudes should shift from concern with the gener- al diffusion of program knowledge and acceptabil- ity to more specific topics. Baseline data include surveys of landlords, households, residential build- ings, and neighborhoods, and a postbaseline survey audit is suggested. (Author abstract modi- fied).

The initial plan- ning and administration are set forth, changes which were made in response to problems en- countered in recruitment and processing are ex- plained, and the final program structure is outlined. Charts, tables, and graphs present study data. It was found that this program was easier to adminis- ter than a rent collection program, that it facilitated the use of existing vacant housing, and that it sup- plemented existing housing programs. A dual - payee check system was established to reduce fraud and lost checks. A check made out to both the landlord and the tenant is mailed in a nonfor- warding envelope. Difficulties were encountered in enrollment because the problem was complex and hard to explain. A media blitz and a mobile enroll- ment office were used to overcome these prob- lems. A local problem was encountered because the experiment mandated that recipients reflect the racial composition of proverty families in the area, and 77 percent of these were white. Racism was then charged. It was found that many recipi- ents needed counseling during the entire life of the program (particularly elderly persons) and that un- stable families could not survive in the open hous- ing market. Recommendations are made for han- dling these groups. The housing allowance is com- pared with other programs and its place in a total plan is assessed.

Part of a much larger, more technical study on the housing conditions of various groups of Americans is summarized. Housing conditions are considered for the ethnic group composed of Central and South Americans, Cubans, Mexican - Americans (Chicanos), Puerto Ricans, and others of Spanish or Spanish - speaking origin living in the United States. Membership in this group, which is deter- mined by the survey respondent when he or she identifies the head of household, implies no racial or language criteria. Data for the report are from the Annual Housing Surveys for 1975 and 1976, collected for HUD by the Census Bureau. Tabular data are provided which measure the following housing concerns: (1) physical adequacy, which considers the availability of heating and plumbing, structural soundness, the availability of sewage disposal systems, and the maintenance of the living unit; (2) overcrowding, with a living unit de- fined as overcrowded if it contains more than 1 person per room; and (3) affordability, which meas- ures the ability of a family to pay for adequate housing, given the space it needs for its size. Find- ings are provided in narrative summaries. It is con- cluded that Hispanics have worse housing than Americans in general; their housing is flawed par- ticularly from deficiencies in maintenance and heating, followed by poor access to toilet facilities. The proportion of income paid for housing is great- er for Hispanics than for the average American, and the housing they live in tends to be older. Dis- parities among the housing conditions of Hispanic groups themselves were found to be greater than between Hispanics in general and the American public. Puerto Ricans live in the worst housing, with 27.1 percent flawed, while Cubans tend to live in the best housing, with only 9.8 percent of their housing considered flawed.

The HUD Experimental Housing Allowance Pro- gram is a 5 - year test during which a wide variety of housing allowance alternatives are being tried in carefully selected areas of the country to develop successful program components and determine how the housing allowance concept compares in practice to earlier or existing program approaches. The housing allowance experiment has three com- ponents, each designed to answer a different set of questions about the program. A 3 - year demand (consumer) experiment measures the response of recipients to different types and levels of allowances. A 5 - year supply (market) experiment measures the response of the housing market when large numbers of families receive allowance payments. A 2 - year administrative agency (man- agement) experiment identifies administrative costs and methods that result in effective housing allowance program management. The following policy issues need to be addressed: whether fami- lies can improve their housing at costs equal to or lower than those of existing housing programs; whether the allowance is equitable in treating all families; how abuses might arise, and how they can be prevented; whether allowances result in greater purchasing power; what kind of responses to the program are being obtained from bankers, brokers, realtors, and other program intermediar- ies; and whether administrative costs will be in line with program benefits.

The Council of State Community Affairs Agencies (COSCAA) was con- tracted to provide input in the needs assessment process concerning financial management prob- lems confronted by local governments. COSCAA is the national organization representing State ex- ecutive agencies of commmunity affairs. The State Departments of Community Affairs (DCA's) are re- sponsible for a variety of local assistance functions in community development. In its needs assess- ment strategy, COSCAA sponsored two workshop sessions and prepared case studies to identify the most pressing local financial management needs and promote information exchange among the States. Additionally, the work plan called for COSCAA participation in a 2 - day HUD - spon- sored national conference to achieve a consensus with the other public interest group participants on priority local government financial management problems. Ten State DCA's were selected to par- ticipate in COSCAA's needs identification case studies. Selection criteria are indicated. The needs found in these case studies are listed and priori- tized. Results are also reported from the two work- shops and the national conference. In addition, ex- isting DCA resources and suggested programmat- ic responses are discussed.

This report by the Brookings Institution examines the community development block grant program (CDBG) in its second year (1976) and focuses on the effects of decentralized decisionmaking in terms of changes in program emphasis resulting from more local decisionmaking and on alterations in the nature of HUD - local intergovernmental rela- tions. The study is based on field analyses by resi- dent observers in 61 jurisdictions that receive CDBG funds. The national sample takes into ac- count the type of CDBG recipient, geographical lo- cation, population size, income level, and previous grant experience. In a summary of 1 977 CDBG leg- islative changes it is stated that the most important change is the switch to dual formula allocation. Dual allocation retains the original formula for con- centrating funds on poverty stricken communities while adding a formula for directing funds toward older cities with physical development needs. The shift to dual formula allocation significantly im- proved the "targeting" capabilities of the program and appears to be causing an overall increase in aid to communities in distress conditions in the northeastern and midwestern sections of the country. There has been significant decentraliza- tion of substantive decisionmaking, with local offi- cials exercising more control over community de- velopment policy than they did under the categori- cal programs (those that specified particular income level requirements for eligibility). With re- spect to intergovernmental relations, an examina- tion of specific cases of controversy between HUD and local jurisdictions reveals that local decisions are more likely to prevail on substantive issues - community development strategy or program con- tent - than on procedural issues - administration of compliance with environmental and affirmative action requirements. Further findings are present- ed; appendices contain study data, the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977, select- ed legal cases and complaints involving CDBG, and the study analysis form.

The results of studies on trash - collection meth- ods in 10 cities at 10 housing complexes (9 were HUD - built complexes) are presented. The study objectives were to evaluate the economics, effec- tiveness, and feasibility of using improved solid waste collection systems in new communities, to determine the most practical, convenient, quiet, sanitary, and economical waste collection sys- tems, and to guide development of solid waste management systems for future projects. Data were gathered during site visits. The Jersey City, N.J., pneumatic trash collection system, the main focus of the study, required an extensive, detailed investigation. Specific tests and experiments were performed to determine overall system perform- ance. Each of the collection systems was investi- gated in terms of quantity of solid waste collected per type and number of containers and number and type of dwelling units; distances traveled be- tween services and total distance to collect onsite; time spent on various collection activities including productive collection time, handling and walking time, waiting time, and time spent on other activi- ties; mechanical equipment performance; compac- tor load capacity; and storage container effective- ness, sanitation, and user satisfaction. The evalua- tions indicate that methods used at Macon, Ga., Memphis, Tenn., Sacramento, Calif., and King County, Wash., are the most effective and eco- nomical although the pneumatic trash collection system is too costly and unreliable to justify its ad- vantages, i.e., less noise, less tenant awareness of trash equipment, and freed service vehicles for other operations. It is concluded that single - family attached and detached housing developments are best served by curbside, weekly refuse pickup; multifamily low - rise buildings are best accommo- dated by curbside pickup but with centrally located containers; and household compactors can only be recommended if weekly pickup is provided and residents are taught how to use compactors. Com- munal compactors are not recommended. Discus- sions and recommendations for each site are pro- vided.

The Municipal Finance Officers Association (MFOA) conducted research to improve the overall quality of local government financial management needs and solve problems encountered by the mu- nicipal finance community. MFOA conducted 14 workshops providing the representatives of local government with opportunities to identify and es- tablish priorities among problems in financial man- agement and to specify requirements for workable solutions. In addition, the workshops allowed fi- nance officers to present and exchange details on effective innovative practices of local government. The over 500 participants at the workshops were asked to complete a survey dealing with manage- ment problems in budgeting, accounting, auditing, debt management, treasury management, and pensions, and to specify problems and solutions in Federal - State - local relations. A standing com- mittee at the MFOA annual conference was pre- sented with the problem statements based on problems and priorities identified during the work- shops, asked to review and comment on the prob- lem statements, and requested to review work- shop reports to determine potential training and technical assistance responses. MFOA also held meetings on this subject with persons responsible for graduate programs in public administration and with municipal bond credit analysts. MFOA consol- idated the overlapping problems and submitted a list of 14 problems to HUD for an indepth discus- sion. These priority problems are presented in this report in formats containing subject, problem statement, symptoms, causes, suggested solu- tions, key actors, constraints and requirements, al- ternatives, and resources. The following are exam- ples of priority problems: (1) insurance is difficult for municipalities to obtain and high premiums ac- company those policies available; (2) local officials are unable to specify the type of computer or pro- gram needed to meet financial management and reporting needs; and (3) local government finance officers are unable to evaluate investment per- formance.

Results are presented of an evaluation of HUD's Section 202 program. Section 202, enacted as part of the Housing Act of 1959 to provide "independ- ent living" for elderly and handicapped persons, authorizes direct loans to nonprofit organizations for developing and operating multifamily housing projects. The evaluation addresses these issues: population being served, character and quality of project housing, efficiency of the program in man- agement of government funds and in reducing tenant rents, and financial viability of the projects. Major elements of the study design were a review of program history and operations, collection of in- ventory data on all projects, direct observation of projects, and interviews with project sponsors, managers, field office staff, representatives of public housing authorities, and local social service agency personnel. Findings reveal that the pro- gram serves mainly white, elderly females with moderate - to - middle incomes. Males, blacks, other minorities, the handicapped, and persons with very low incomes are less frequently served. Section 202 projects are generally well designed and are located in safe areas with access to serv- ices. Section 202 project construction is as cost effective as that of two other subsidy projects for the elderly and more efficient in terms of reduc- tions of rent per dollar of subsidy. Section 202 pro- jects have shown a high degree of financial viabil- ity over the life of the program. Despite its basic strengths, the program does sponsor projects which vary significantly in quality and extent of services. The overall success of the program is at- tributed to its design features, small scale, unified management structure, and targeting to elderly persons. Detailed findings and tabular data are provided, and a list of HUD - funded housing pro- grams for the elderly and handicapped, and de- scriptions of cost effectiveness (technical analy- sis), and of subsidies, rent reductions, and subsidy efficiency analysis are appended.

The eligibility and enrollment of persons in Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind., in the HUD Experimental Housing Allowance Program (a cash allowance program providing rent and utilities funds to clients who locate desirable housing) is reported for the first 2 years of the program. The data collected from annual field surveys show that households eligible under current rules concerning income, assets, and family composition differ sub- stantially in their enrollment patterns and the nature of their benefits from the program. Baseline sample surveys of households in each site show that about a fifth of the site populations are eligible, and that more homeowners than renters are eligi- ble. Four types of households constitute 85 per- cent of all eligibles in each site: young couples with young children, single parents, elderly couples, and elderly single persons. The likelihood of both enrolling and maintaining eligibility correlates strongly with differences in the sources, amounts, and stability of income. Enrollment was leveling off in Brown County with 42 percent of eligibles en- rolled at the end of 2 years, but still climbing in St. Joseph County with 34 percent of the eligible pop- ulation enrolled. Over one - third of all program en- rollees in each site had terminated by the end of the second program year. These findings suggest that, to target housing allowances efficiently, eligi- bility tests other than income, assets, and family composition should be considered. Stage in the household life cycle and usual source of income both bear strongly on the enrollment decision. Fur- ther findings, recommendations, tabular data, and references are provided.

The housing allow- ance program provides direct cash assistance to low - income families to upgrade their housing. This report covers a 3 - month operation period in 1977. It provides a brief statistical overview of pro- gram operations, discussing in particular the drop in both the number of clients authorized to receive payment and the percentage of dwellings that passed housing evaluations, and it summarizes events affecting the program. Significant events in- clude the intensive campaign to publicize the third wave of tenant and homeowner surveys conduct- ed by Rand Corporation, the flareup of a controver- sy between Rand and the South Bend Housing Au- thority over a Rand report on allowance program effects on Federal housing in South Bend, the res- olution of two cases of alleged discrimination against clients in their search for housing, and a new housing allowance office advertising cam- paign directed toward the elderly. The reactions of individuals and groups to the program are also dis- cussed. A series of "good neighbor" meetings were held by clients, eligibles, and noneligibles during which both clients and nonclients ex- pressed strong support for the program. Several participants, however, objected to such aspects as the lack of front - end money. The report discusses events affecting the way housing service suppliers respond to the program, including an effort by the city of South Bend to annex suburban Clay Town- ship and acquire Clay utilities and the continued withdrawal of Associates Corporation of North America from St. Joseph County - a move predict- ed to result in a loss of 2,902 jobs to South Bend and a net loss of 6,600 people.

This paper reports on communities' attitudes toward HUD's Experimental Housing Allowance Program in St. Joseph County, Ind., to indicate how the general public will perceive the program at ba- seline (1 975), before having actual experience with it. The housing allowance program provides direct cash assistance to low - income families to up- grade their housing. Data derive mainly from spe- cial attitude determination questions in the base- line survey of tenants and homeowners, a sample of 4,350 households, conducted in November 1974 and April 1975. The findings show that a maximum of 16 percent of theppopulation in the county was aware of the allowance program at ba- seline. Public9controversy among political officials and organizational leaders did not filter down to the majority of citizens. Half the persons aware of the allowance program did not possess even mini- mal information on it or had it confused with an- other housing program. About 80 percent of the knowledgeable households viewed the program either favorably or neutrally. Opinions about the program generally reflected respondents' views about the scope of government, the competence and honesty of public officials, and the groups ex- pected to benefit from the program. People who opposed neighborhood integration or were hostile to blacks were also significantly more likely to dis- approve of the allowance program. About 18 per- cent of respondents expected the program to affect their own households, while 71 percent an- ticipated effects on St. Joseph County. Few people thought the program would have undesirable ef- fects, and most expected that it would help people, upgrade housing, and improve conditions in the community.

HASE pro- vides direct cash assistance to low - income households to upgrade their living conditions. The NLS survey instrument collected data for 108 areas of various sizes designated as HASE neigh- borhoods with questions covering land - use pat- terns, accessibility to public facilities, characteris- tics of major roads and streets, and measures of air and noise pollution. The NSOB is an observa- tion survey of 8,084 blockfaces in the country. The questions pertain to items such as the presence of single - family housing, commercial structures, and farmland, and conditions of residential buildings, public streets, and vacant land. The blockfaced data were designed to be averaged for each neigh- borhood. The audit assessed the variation and consistency of average condition ratings and their ability to distinguish between neighborhoods. In general, more than 50 percent of the averages dif- fered from the appropriate grand mean by more than three standard errors, showing that some un- derlying variation remained. Correlation coeffi- cients between averages for different condition ratings were generally significant and positive. The validity of the average condition neighborhood rat- ings was measured by using the ratings to rank 12 fabricated "superneighborhoods." The rankings agreed with the expectation and varied little, imply- ing that the average condition ratings can be used in this limited context to distinguish between neigh- borhoods.

This document is a revision of Section III of Rand's General Design Report (1973) governing eligibility and amounts of assistance offered to individual households participating in HUD's Experimental Housing Allowance Program, a program providing direct cash assistance to low - income families to upgrade their living standards. This updated report explains program administration and funding and provides estimates of program size and cost in each of two experimental sites, Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind. The basic princi- ple of eligibility is that assistance should be availa- ble to all households whose income from other sources does not enable them to afford the market price of housing that meets a specified standard of adequacy. According to the income limit formula, the maximum annual adjusted income for an eligi- ble household with a designated number of per- sons equals the standard annual cost of housing 239 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT meeting specified quality and size standards minus $480. The size of the allowance will be calculated using a formula that recognizes differences in housing needs and other consumption require- ments. The program is designed to fit into the ex- isting system of public assistance programs. Actual program payments begin only when enroll- ees show that their housing meets certain stand- ards. Once it is approved and funded by Congress, the allowance program will be a permanent feature of local housing markets. This would influence al- lowance - eligibles to stay in their neighborhoods and housing service suppliers to commit them- selves to capital improvements and long - termsin- vestments. Program administration would be the responsibility of nonprofitccorporations at each site (Housing Allowance Offices) and funding would be made through local housing authorities. Estimates of potential program size and allowance costs are calculated for the two sites and tabular data are provided. PB80-109713 PC A06/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, CA.

Inflation in housing costs that occurred in Brown County, Wis., (Site I of the HUD Housing Assist- ance Supply Experiment) between 1973 and 1976 is analyzed, along with its effect on program bene- fits. The Experimental Housing Allowance Program was designed to enable participants with low in- comes to afford the full costs of decent, safe, and sanitary housing by providing direct cash assist- ance for rent and utilities, but inflation has made the payment schedule obsolete, and program benefits are inadequate for program purposes. The analysis of inflation addresses two issues: (1) the extent of housing cost increases, and (2) the responsibility of the program itself for the increase in housing costs. Data sources were field surveys of renter households in Brown County, fuel and utility rate schedules obtained from local suppliers of these items, and administrative records of the allowance program. Results show that between 1973 and 1975, contract rents for housing in Brown County increased at an average annual rate of about 4 percent and gross rents increased at an average annual rate of about 6 percent. There were marked differences in inflation rates for dif- ferent sectors of the rental market. Rates were higher for single - family homes than for apart- ments, higher for large units than for smaller ones, and higher for low - rent units than for high - rent units. Less comprehensive evidence for the period after February 1975 indicates that the identified pace and pattern of inflation are characteristic through 1 976. Increases were due largely to higher prices for domestic fuels and utility services, and these prices have affected program participants even though their contract rents have remained stable. It is concluded that the program has had no discernible effect on inflation for housing in the county. Increases in benefits to participants are recommended to compensate for inflation as well as realignment of the benefit schedule for very small and large households. Supporting data are appended.

The financial management capacity - sharing pro- gram is a programmatic response to the increasing problems facing local governments in their finan- cial management practices. The National League of Cities assessed specific problems and needs of elected officials in local government by conducting four workshops and a national survey of financial management problems and needs and prepared a summary to describe the results. Three of the workshops discussed accounting and auditing, budgeting, cash and investment management, debt management, Federal - local government re- lations, local fiscal and economic policy, pension management, State - local government relations, and the local elected official's role in budgeting, and the fourth workshop reviewed and modified the priorities derived from the other three. A ques- tionnaire was sent to the mayors of 1,200 cities, and the 300 responses represent the problems of greatest concern to these officials. The National Conference on Financial Management Needs in Local Government held in June 1978 set out 44 problem statements from which 21 were selected as priorities. Discussion groups focused on clarify- ing the problems and causes and suggesting solu- tions. Discussion is included of the processes and priorities which emerged from these activities, along with a review of the high degree of corre- spondence found between the needs identified in the workshops and in the survey and between both these sets with those priorities highlighted at the conference.

It delin- eates and describes HUD regulations from Part 805 of "Low Income Housing " and Chapter VIII of Title 24 of the "Code of Federal Regulations." Mutual help housing programs involve groups of families making contributions toward building new houses for each family in the group. Contributions can include cash, land, labor, materials, or equip- ment but must be equal to at least $1,500 per family. The families, called home buyers, lease their homes from the IHA and make monthly pay- ments based on family income and size. The agen- cies involved in mutual help programs can be Indian agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs, tribal governments, and IHA's and HUD. The guide describes requirements involved in applying to HUD for mutual help programs, prototype costs, development costs, site selections, and inspec- tions during construction. It covers contracts and eligibility and selection policies. The types and amounts of family contributions are discussed as well as disposition of contributions in the event an agreement is terminated before the home is occu- pied.

Urban impacts of President Carter's proposed wel- fare reform, the Program for Better Jobs and Income (PBJI), are analyzed. The plan would con- solidate three major components of the existing welfare system - work benefit, income support, and existing tax reductions for recipients - and provide a nationwide minimum Federal cash pay- ment for all the poor. It pledges public service jobs for some of those poor who are able and expected to work. Earnings, welfare, manpower policy, and taxes would be interrelated through an expanded earned income tax credit and a new, nationally uni- form system of basic income support payments. The details of the program are analyzed focusing on these components: (1) job opportunities; (2) the work benefit and income support provisions for those able persons expected to work; (3) income support payments for those not expected to work (disabled persons or single parents with more than one child under 7 years); and (4) tax reductions through the earned income tax credit (tax benefits for families with earnings of $4,000 to $15,620). Results of the analysis show that PBJI would reduce income inequality somewhat among per- sons and among urban areas and reinforce current growth, interregional migration, and the pattern of movement of less affluent persons to the suburbs. It would, to a small degree, distribute public service jobs in urban areas of high rather than low unem- ployment and provide fiscal relief to those States now making relatively high welfare payments to relatively large numbers of recipients.

It was concluded that a Federal agency or the International City Management Association, rather than an individual city, was the appropriate vehicle for such a productivity information clearinghouse. Also, resource - poor or stressed cities (such as many of those covered in the initial sampling) find it difficult to make the investment necessary for such information exchange. As a result, they have the greatest need forinformation on productivity - in- creasing activities that they can copy and are the least likely to develop measures of interest to other cities. Lists of the cities involved are appended, along with a narrative description of the scope of the questionnaire. information gathered from the open - ended ques- tions on the attitude portion of the survey. Each question from the attitude module is reproduced exactly as it appeared in the survey instrument, in- cluding precoded responses. Below each question is material related to the interpretation of the re- sponses, including new codes authorized for use in the field or during data processing, authorized changes to skip patterns, and instructions to field workers and editors. A table presents response frequencies, or marginals, for that question. These tables contain a list of all response codes appear- ing in the survey file at least once for that question, the number of records containing each code, and the relative frequency of the code expressed as a percentage. Final columns adjust the frequencies to permit easy calculation of medians and related distributional parameters. An introduction explains the encoding technique and the procedures which were followed during data processing. Appendices contain the instructions which were given to field workers for coding the attitude module and a list of the audit codes. placement at home or in a foster home. Perma- nence and continuity were chosen as the meas- ures of success, and the group care agencies re- viewed were classified according to scope of serv- ices, intensity of resources, and size. To identify those factors which contributed to achievement of care goals, researchers used a sample of 600 chil- dren who entered institutions for the first time in 1974. The case records of these children were re- viewed to obtain description of their behavior and the reasons for institutionalization, a history of the children and their families, and a record of all placements and significant events during place- ment. Financial records of the institutions were also surveyed. Overall, less than half of 3,200 placements resulted in continuous outcomes, and only 60 percent of the children studied achieved a stable, noninstitutional living environment. For a large proportion of the children, then, the care system failed despite an average expenditure of $9,000 per year per child. Specific study findings, implications, study support data, and the survey in- strument are included. PB80- 1 09820 PC A02/ M F A0 1 Wilmington Office of the Mayor, DE.

To address the gap between available resources and service demands, Wilmington, Del., officials have attempted to increase productivity of the city work force. This report describes the study proc- ess and results achieved in physical maintenance, concentrating on street cleaning, traffic mainte- nance, and water division maintenance oper- ations. Project emphasis was on implementation of operational reporting mechanisms and related analytic capacities to provide improved administra- tive control over the operations involved. During March and April 1976, recommendations concern- ing street cleaning operations to the Commission- er of Public Works included improving supervision and followup activities, documenting various tasks for which crews are responsible, and mixing young and old workers on work crews (this latter practice was abandoned). Recommendations in the area of traffic maintenance operations included equipment purchases, surveys to determine functional status of street and traffic lights, reducing the number of parking meter collectors and personnel on the sign installation crew, contracting painting and sign manufacturing operations, eliminating an office aide position, merging the traffic division with other divisions, and improving inventory control. Recom- mendations for water division maintenance oper- ations involved developing a reporting and control system, reevaluating replacement policy for water meters, and contracting for water main mainte- nance and repair. Increases in productivity have resulted in quantitative and qualitative improve- ments in all three areas and have caused similar action to be taken in the area of management training.

This book, an outgrowth of the More Streets for People public information program, evaluates pe- destrian experiments in 12 selected European cities. It is addressed to community groups and in- dividuals involved in promoting the creation of traf- fic - free areas in their cities. The cross section of European experiments represents a variety of goals and a diversity of urban scales. While the creation of urban pedestrian malls in America has focused primarily on downtown economic revital- ization, a close look at European efforts reveals a number of reasons for implementing traffic - free zones. The goals sought by European planners have ranged from strictly functional ones dealing with traffic control strategies to improve downtown mobility to humanistic ones dealing with conserva- tion of urban areas and improvement of residential conditions in central areas. The scale of the cities with pedestrian precincts also provides a useful overview for the advocate. Cars have been banned from central areas of small villages to in- crease tourist appeal or simply to preserve tradi- tions of outdoor living. They have also been banned from the congested cores of cities with over a million inhabitants that possess national commercial prominence. The diverse planning context, legal methodology, and financial strategy of each specific case also provide a broad, critical picture of the process of converting vehicular roads to pedestrian thoroughfares. Some cities were chosen for their historic relevance because they clearly illustrate a variety of goals for their traf- fic strategies, for their focus on historic preserva- tion, for their focus on economic revitalization, or for their innovative approach to planning and design. Although this book is not intended to fur- nish methodological indications tailored to the American reality, it does provide a viable frame- work for understanding the issues involved and the questions which should be addressed in the proc- ess of creating a traffic - free urban environment.

This book presents an indepth analysis of 16 North American pedestrianization experiments, providing information on the process which each city under- went in converting vehicular roads into malls. Some of the projects were very successful, while others represent failures. The range of results has been examined within the context of the complex- ity of pedestrian planning. The physical factors to be considered in the creation of a traffic - free area relate to the design of the mall and to the solution of city circulation and parking problems. These fac- tors must be viewed in light of creating a traffic - free zone that increases not only the quality of the shopping environment but the social and recre- ational appeal of the area as well. The institutional side of mall implementation also affects the suc- cess of the project, because legal problems may arise in changing the use of an existing right - of - way. Legislation, which may be necessary at the local or State level, can also relate directly to fi- nancing methods. The major goal of almost every North American pedestrianization effort has been the revitalization of declining downtown retail economy. The reasons for such decline have varied from city to city. The cities considered here were selected because they represent a cross section of sizes and geographic locations. They also provide examples of the various reasons for and approaches to the implementation of traffic - free areas. Taken together, these 16 case studies offer a broad view of the aspects of pedestrian zoning in North America. Each city is considered individually, and photographs are included.

The effects of alternative patterns or scenarios of intensive high - rise development are analyzed with respect to the amount and distribution of growth in San Francisco, Calif., in or around the year 1990. The scenarios consist of maps and photographs of the commerical sector of the city; the first outlines the existing skylines and oblique projections, while four subsequent scenarios illus- trate and chart expected changes wrought by com- mitted and proposed office and hotel site develop- ment. The selected scenarios are discussed in terms of policy issues relating to environmental, transportation, municipal finance, and urban eco- nomic considerations Study findings and conclu- sions, presented individually for each of these policy areas, discuss, among other things, the city's dependence on offices and hotels as an "in- dustry," describe prototypical "industry" workers, and analyze the economic effects of an increase in the work force. Intensive high - rise development will, in addition to increasing city revenues, neces- sitate increased expenditures for municipal serv- ices, particularly those relating to mass transit. In- creased building heights are not seen as creating necessarily commensurate increases in environ- mental problems relating to noise levels, air qual- ity, views and visual impact, park use, and livability.

Guidelines to converting vehicular streets to pre- dominately pedestrian use are offered in this hand- book. Two main sections concern reasons for pe- destrian zoning and ways to implement pedestrian zoning. Pedestrian malls provide practical solu- tions to some urgent city problems: deteriorating economic and physical situations, a declining qual- ity of life, pollution, congestion, and the flight of the middle class. The pedestrian mall can provide new life to a downtown area by improving the business of local merchants and by attracting residents from nearby suburban areas. Traffic management in central districts can improve the city's environmen- tal quality by reducing noise and air pollution, and it also allows for the preservation of historic districts and landmarks. Tourists and residents of all ages and from all social strata are drawn to pedestrian malls which feature special amenities for relax- ation, entertainment, and communication. Plan- ning the pedestrian mall involves an extensive analysis of local physical, economic, and social re- sources. The legal aspects and funding strategies that must be examined before implementing a pe- destrian mall require the participation of lawyers in both the advocacy and planning process. A close working relationship should exist between design- ers, contractors, and the community to express community needs. Implementation management involves an entire process which prepares for, in- cludes, and follows construction. Guidelines and recommendations are based on data from numer- ous experiments documenting various approaches and their impact on city life.

Prepared as part of the Supply Experiment of the HUD Experimental Housing Allowance Program, this report documents the selection process for a permanent panel of residential properties to be an- nually surveyed in Brown County, Wis. The Supply Experiment is designed to test the market and community response to a full - scale housing allow- ance program and to measure mobility patterns of the recipient families. Sample selection worked forward from a sampling frame of all 61,791 tax parcels in Brown County. A baseline sample of 5,039 properties was selected in three phases, each entailing data collection, stratification, and subsampling. A fourth phase yielded the perma- nent panel of 1,945 properties. Both the sample design and the first three phases of the sample se- lection are reviewed, along with the baseline field work that began the fourth phase of sample selec- tion. The following section explains how field re- ports from several surveys and field office records were abstracted and audited to form a comprehen- sive, internally consistent file of property records containing all the information needed for the panel selection. Subsequent passages explain how the baseline sample was restratified and corrected to reflect information obtained in the baseline sur- veys, how each residential property recorded was tested for completeness, and how each residential stratum was sampled to form the permanent panel.

The report presents suggested criteria, warrants, and traffic control devices to design safe passing operations and designate no-passing zones on rural two-lane highways. The criteria are based on vehicle performance during the passing maneuver, the premise that sight distance should De provided at the critical postion when the passing and passed vehicle are abreast, and evaluation of traf- fic control devices in providing the required visual information at this critical position. An advance pavement marking system consisting of a short dotted yellow line adjacent to the roadway center- line throughout the pass completion distance is proposed, in conjunction with the no-passing zone pennant sign, to advise the passing driver that passing should not be initiated beyond the start of this marking system because there is not sufficient distance to complete the maneuver before reach- ing the no-passing zone. Warrants for no-passing zones are presented with lengths of advance treat- ment and minimum distances between successive no-passing zones for a range of expected operat- ing speeds. An economic analysis of the expected benefits to be derived if the system were to be im- plemented nationwide indicates a high probability of being cost-effective.

The purpose of the study was to develop criteria for the use and placement of arrow boards in work zones. The research was conducted in three phases. In the first phase available literature on work zone traffic control was reviewed. Human factors investigations were conducted in the second phase to determine driver information re- quirements, expectancy and understanding of arrow boards. The third phase of the research was an intensive field study of driver responses to arrow boards in actual work zones. Twenty-six construction sites and 23 hours of maintenance activities were studied. The research determined that arrow boards were effective in lane closure work zones because they promoted earlier merg- ing into the open lane and fewer vehicles remained in the closed lane at the start of the lane closure taper. The arrow board was more effective when it was placed on the shoulder of the roadway near the start of the lane closure taper. Arrow boards were not found to be generally effective in traffic diversions or splits or for moving shoulder clo- sures. However, they did prove effective in reduc- ing some specific operational problems in these types of work zones. PB80-114663 PCA05/MFA01 Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc., Evanston, IL.

Capital expenditures include expenditures for buildings, land, major equipment, and other com- modities which are of significant value and have a useful life of several years. The capital improve- ment program (CIP) lists each proposed capital item to be undertaken, the year in which it will be started, the amount expected to be expended in each year, and the proposed method of financing these expenditures. Based on these details, sum- maries of capital activity in each year can be pre- pared as well as summaries of financial require- ments, such as amounts of general obligations, bonds to be issued, amounts of general operating funds required, etc. Principle steps to be followed for implementation and maintenance of the capital improvement program and budget are presented along with detailed discussions and procedures.

The report focuses on the economic impacts of al- cohol abuse and alcoholism. An extended analysis of some of the yearly earning patterns is presented of two distinct client populations: 1919 clients at the Fort Logan Mental Health Center Alcoholism Division and 7969 clients from Hennepin County, MN. A total of five criterion variables were used in the regression analyses: Pre-treatment earnings, during-treatment earnings, and change in post- treatment earnings. Predictor variables included client age, education, employment history, occu- pation, race, marital status, legal status, discharge status, treatment history, and condition at dis- charge. It is speculated that the cost of treatment is less than the potential expenditure of other public funds required to assist untreated alcoholic individuals and their families. It is recommended that vocational rehabilitation be included in treat- ment, since variables indicating previous financial stability are associated with treatment success.

The guidebook presents a set of techniques useful to a municipality in performing an analysis of its fi- nancial condition. The approach: (1) allows munici- pal officials to focus on trends within their city with- out calling for comparisons to externally devel- oped standards or to conditions in other cities; (2) focuses attention on factors and trends over a rel- atively long period of time, thus allowing municipal officials to see whether possible problems are in- tensifying or improving; and (3) provides a frame- work for assembling and analyzing information about the city on a regular basis. Techniques pre- sented are intended to provide an overview of the financial condition of the muncipality. The results obtained from using these techniques are a good beginning point for analysis, not a conclusion. Also, these techniques are simple to implement if the municipality follows reasonably good account- ing and financial reporting procedures. Conditions contributing to municipal financial difficulty are de- scribed and discussed. Then a more detailed dis- cussion of the key indicators or trends which are associated with each condition are presented. In addition, detailed procedures are presented which may be regularly followed to collect the data and to measure and analyze the trends associated with each condition.

Keywords: "Fire safety, "Building codes, "Cost ef- fectiveness, Economic analysis, Hospitals, Guide- lines, Safety engineering, "Health care facilities, "Nursing homes, Least cost analysis. The identification of cost-effective levels of fire safety in health care facilities is a major concern to hospital administrators, fire safety engineers and public policy makers. The prohibitive costs of strict compliance to the prescriptive provisions of the Life Safety Code in hospitals and nursing homes has led to the development of an equivalency methodology, the Fire Safety Evaluation System. The equivalency methodology provides a means for identifying how combinations of several widely accepted fire safety systems can be used to pro- duce a level of safety equal to that of the prescrip- tive provisions of the Life Safety Code. Three topics are described briefly in this paper. They are: (1) the Fire Safety Evaluation System; (2) a com- puterized version of the Fire Safety Evaluation System which permits the least-cost means of achieving compliance to the Life Safety Code to be identified; and (3) an indication of the cost-saving potential of the Fire Safety Evaluation System based on a case study of a typical general hospital.

Decreasing transit ridership and increasing operat- ing and capital costs have resulted in a situation whereby the Urban Mass Transportation Adminis- tration (UMTA) is requiring transit operators to de- velop comprehensive data reporting schemes. Transit operators are realizing the need for mea- surement of transit system productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, in order to make decisions on where to add, modify, or delete service. The re- search provides an internal route-specific, per- formance monitoring tool, and aimed at bus transit performance. The research was devised to yield a specific product, which is a comprehensive deci- sion framework for applying transit performance in- dicators. Two performance indicators were select- ed for use in the research, namely, passengers per bus mile and passengers per bus hour. These indi- cators are used primarily becuse the data are rela- tively easy to obtain. The application methodology is general, however, in that it can also be used for other route-specific indicators. The decision framework is based upon the statistical decision- making techniques which are used in other fields such as quality control. Two case studies were used in this framework to apply indicators to the measurement of performance of the bus transit systems of the Regional Transportation District of Denver, Colorado, and the Utah Transit Authority of the Salt Lake City, Utah region. Guidelines are given to assist transit operator programs. PB80-121635 MF A01 Urban Systems Research and Engineering, Inc., Cambridge, MA.

The reliability and maintainability, performance, capital and maintenance costs, and the environ- mental impact of the solid waste management system at the Jersey City, N.J., Operation Break- through site are evaluated. The installation was the first pneumatic trash collection system (PTC) used to collect residential refuse in the United States. The annual cost of $120,021 to collect 248 tons of refuse, was 160 to 460 percent more expensive than the cost of conventional systems. However, the system would have been cost - effective if it had been operated at design capacity. During its first 18 - month period (July 1974 to December 1975), the system was operable only 54 percent of the time and had a 50 percent probability of failure within 1 6 hours or 1 5 cycles of operation. The main transport line, programmer, discharge valves, con- trol panel, vertical trash chutes, and compactor caused 88 percent of all malfunctions, 95 percent of downtime, and 91 percent of all repair man- hours. Design recommendations that could in- crease system reliability to about 86 percent have been made. Modifications which could make the system practical in future residential complexes are also suggested. The PTC system has many benefits: reduced labor costs, control of rodents and vermin, and the elimination of odor, noise, and litter. Photographs, drawings, and statistics illus- trate this evaluation. Appendices contain the test plans for each component of the system and cal- culations for the transport velocity, for service life of various components, and for energy use and costs.

Housing for the independent elderly is the subject of these occasional papers and commentary notes. A demographic study of the elderly and their housing characteristics shows that living arrange- ments of the over 60 population are highly age - related. At the beginning of old age (60 - 64 years), most of the elderly reside as the heads (or with their spouses) in intact husband - wife households. As the probability of losing a spouse increases with age, more are found in arrangements such as living with relatives or living alone as the head of a nonfamily household. In terms of income, educa- tion, and health, the elderly living alone compare favorably with those sharing a relative's house- hold, and their housing quality is relatively good. Examination of the housing needs of the elderly indicates that increased attention should be given to the problems of elderly homeowners and rent- ers without diminishing the badly needed and suc- cessful programmatic project - type housing, that subjectively estimated housing and neighborhood satisfaction is an important aspect of the definition of housing problems, and that the central need is for the addition of a human - service component to direct housing services.

The sharing algorithm mathematical model, also called optimal resource allocation, is central to PMMS; it uses data on past work achievement, resource limitation, and job priorities to project op- timal work schedules for both short - term and long - term planning. The model uses nine different but interrelated sets of information as follows: calen- dar, resources, jobs, job components, resource - job component links, standards, trade offs, loca- tions, and time estimates.

The Southeast Georgia Area Planning and Devel- opment Commission (APDC) helped a consortium of 8 rural counties and 17 incorporated municipal- ities located within these counties develop a series of projects to modernize government services and reduce costs. All of the counties (Brantley, Atkin- son, Bacon, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Pierce, and Ware) lacked both resources and modern man- agement expertise. The five original components of the project (which was titled the Brantley County Productivity Improvement Project because Brant- ley County was the lead applicant for the consor- tium) were (1) energy management and conserva- tion, (2) systematized purchasing operations, (3) personnel management improvement, (4) vehicle and equipment scheduling and usage, and (5) ve- hicle, equipment, and building maintenance. The vehicle and equipment projects were dropped, but nine energy conservation plans, two centralized purchasing plans, two complete personnel sys- tems, and several partial personnel systems were completed. This report describes the development of these plans and gives their salient details. The Brantley County purchasing plan resulted in a 20 percent cost saving in the first year, and the energy plans also resulted in significant cost savings. The personnel plans reduced employee turnover in two areas, and in one town the new system helped avoid a police and fire strike. The budget for the project is given, and the use of this type of techni- cal assistance for other rural areas is recommend- ed. Appendices contain letters of appreciation from local officials.

Designed as a reference guide for the general public, elected officials, the staff of public agen- cies, and consultants and attorneys, this digest of literature on innovative zoning and land use man- agement permits the reader to quickly identify the breadth and depth of treatment given to various zoning issues, the specific publications most suit- able to the reader's needs, and further sources of information. It is current to early 1977. Most of the new techniques discussed are variations of three major innovative approaches: (1) planned unit de- velopment, a technique within an overall zoning scheme which allows relief from conventional standards for certain parcels of land, including flexibility in building location, variety of land uses and housing types, functional open space, and preservation of man - made and natural features within defined gross development densities; (2) in- centive zoning, an approach which offers a fixed inducement in the form of a specified bonus or in- centive to developers in return for including certain prescribed elements regarded as publicly desir- able; and (3) impact zoning, which typically estab- lishes performance standards and methods of evaluating the impact of land use proposals rather than predetermining specific tradeoffs. The digest is organized into major sections based on these three approaches and one additional section con- taining general material on innovative zoning is fur- nished. Included in the over 200 entries are sum- maries of the documents, their titles and sources, a listing of their tables of contents, user evalua- tions of the materials, and additional notes.

A comparison of repair costs for HUD - acquired properties in California found that the San Francis- co Area Office spent almost twice as much as the Santa Ana Insuring Office although resale prices were virtually the same in both markets. The Santa Ana office has a property dispostion staff which is comparable to San Franisco's, and the resale mar- kets have many similarities. Yet repair costs in Santa Ana are 7 to 19 percent of resale price while those in San Francisco are 11 to 41 percent. Anal- ysis of property disposition operations found that, although there were other contributing factors, the single most important reason for San Francisco's high repair costs is the high level of repair stand- ards adopted by that office. These high standards are related to low levels of consumer complaints and low reacquisition rates. However, they raise important policy issues. Overall specifications need to be developed for the repair of HUD - ac- quired properties, and individual offices need to develop tighter inspection procedures to reduce in- stances of poor workmanship and failure to meet contract specifications. The Santa Ana office uses purchase orders exclusively to procure repairs. This is a sound procedure and helps the office obtain accurate estimates; other offices should adopt it. Using area management brokers to obtain specifications and inspections has proved inad- equate. The study is heavily documented and con- tains charts and appendices.

The role of the real estate sector (brokers, agents, appraisers, lending institutions, and government mortgage insurance programs) in the early stages of racial change and general decline in neighbor- hoods is examined. Study and control neighbor- hoods were investigated in Norfolk, Va., Roches- ter, N.Y., and Dayton, Ohio, all of which were mar- ginally or centrajly affected by racial change. In the objective indicators of decline, only two neighbor- hoods evidenced consistent patterns. In one Dayton neighborhood, the signs were pervasive - negative consumer attitudes, high unemployment levels and crime rates, and greater welfare case- load totals and relative property value decline than in other areas. In the other neighborhood, a sec- tion of Rochester, decline was evident in rising un- employment levels, conversions from owner to renter occupancy, and physical deterioration of housing. The real estate market pattern was keyed to consumer behavior and was deeply rooted in racial perceptions. While the lender perceived greater risks in the study neighborhoods, the real estate agent was the key actor in directing buyers to Federal Housing Authority or Veterans Adminis- tration financing rather than conventional loans. Race may have been a contributing factor in deter- mining the type of mortgage, but cases of overt discrimination could not be isolated. Rochester real estate actors played an important role in rein- forcing and perhaps accelerating the downward spiral of decline by overreacting to the forces of change and magnifying the signals of decay.

The general background and purpose statement of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (de- signed to test the market and community response to a full scale housing allowance program and to measure mobility patterns of recipient families) and the organization of the 'General Design Report' is given, and specific policy questions to which the experiment is addressed and strategy used in seeking empirical answers to these ques- tions are covered. Policy questions regard such issues as: the effectiveness of the program as a means of inducing housing improvements and the related possibilities for inflation in housing prices; the behavior of market intermediaries and others in an allowance - stimulated market; residential mo- bility induced by the program and the consequent redistribution of local populations. Also explained is the proposed monitoring program for the supply experiment which relies partly on administrative records of the allowance program, but principally on six annual cycles of field surveys addressed to a large sample of residential properties, their owners, and their occupants. The final section evaluates the probable success of the Supply Ex- periment regarding the reliability and credibility of evidence concerning the effects of a national housing allowance program. Appendices include a mathematical model of housing deterioriation under alternative maintenance policies, a detailed specification of the account system for measuring supply response, a method for estimating param- eters of the production function for housing serv- ices and for measuring changes in the prices of factors used in production of housing services, and a technique for combining data from the demand and supply experiments.

This analysis focuses on prototype development patterns, not actual developments, although many of the data were obtained from empirical site stud- ies by others. Here the approach was to assume typical site conditions and an absence of any exist- ing infrastructure at the site, and then, using stand- ard unit cost figures, to estimate the costs of build- ing alternative types of developments. The various costs were first estimated for different neighbor- hood types, each composed of 1,000 dwellings of one of the following housing types: (1 ) single family homes, conventionally located; (2) single family homes, clustered; (3) townhouses; (4) walkup apartments; and (4) highrise apartments. Six com- munity types were analyzed, each containing a mixture of the various housing types, and each fall- ing into one of three categories: (1) low density sprawl - all single family homes, with 75 percent sited in a traditional grid pattern; (2) combination mix ~ 20 percent of each housing type, half in planned unit developments, half in traditional sub- divisions; and (3) high density planned - 40 per- cent highrise, 30 percent walkup, 20 percent town- houses, and 10 percent clustered single family homes.

The first section outlines the analytical and statistical approaches used; indicators of commu- nity development need, the factor analysis ap- proach, concepts of equity and regression statis- tics are introduced. The following section details the characteristics of desirable need indicators and presents the case for and limitations of the community development need indicators chosen. The need indices created by a factor analysis ap- proach are described, along with the weighting of these indices to provide a single index of commu- nity development. An historical overview of Com- munity Development Block Grant formulas is then presented. The dual formula is evaluated in terms of the factor need scores, and the substantive and technical qualities of the formula variables are ex- amined. The following section explains the con- cept of impaction. Then, applying the analysis in previous sections and adding certain methodolog- ical refinements, 14 alternative formulas are pre- sented and tested. These alternatives include im- paction measures, formulas with reweighted or new variables, and single formulas. The formulas are tested against the total needs index and against the three separate dimensions of need, with summary tables individualizing the data for the 15 neediest large cities.

This HUD handbook describes a variety of ways in which local planners can estimate both the public costs of land development and the revenues such development produces. Consisting of four parts, it begins with an overview of the dynamics of local public expenditures, then summarizes the specific steps necessary to implement each of six fiscal impact analysis methods; each strategy is de- scribed in terms of where it is applicable, what its assumptions are, how it is to be applied, what the method's demands are in terms of data and user sophistication, its advantages and disadvantages, and how its results should be interpreted. The fol- lowing section complements the previous cost dis- cussion by demonstrating procedures for estimat- ing local revenues generated by new growth; it pro- vides an overview of the range of municipal and school district revenues and their changing rela- tionships over time. Another section discusses kinds of land - use activities that typically require fiscal impact considerations and the situations where fiscal impact analysis may be inappropriate or may not be the correct criterion upon which to base land - use policy. The final section provides supplementary data essential to those undertaking impact analyses. Demographic multipliers (house- hold size and school - age children) for housing units of different configurations, sizes, and loca- tions are summarized, while subsequent discus- sions highlight how to calculate demographic mul- tipliers from local surveys or census data, how to project the value of multifamily and nonresidential properties if only gross income is known, and background information on computer models for fiscal impact analyses.

HUD- 0000776 Keywords: 'Negroes, 'Housing studies, Central city, Rural urban fringe, Population migrations, Characteristics, Socioeconomic status, Income. First in a series of Annual Housing Survey Studies, this paper examines the extent and significance of black migration from the central cities. Three relat- ed issues are assessed: (1) the extent to which black migration varies among metropolitan areas; (2) whether rates of movement to the suburbs by blacks still differ from those of whites; and (3) the characteristics of those blacks who leave the city for the suburbs. Data used in this report include a comparison of data on migration between cities and suburbs from the 1974, 1975, and 1976 Annual Housing Survey with equivalent information from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses of Population for 19 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas (SMSAs). It is concluded that black migration pat- terns have shifted since 1970 in all of the SMSAs, with 14 of the 19 metropolitan areas reporting an outmigration by blacks as well as whites. However, in seven SMSAs there has been no decrease in the large disparities between whites and blacks in suburban access over the last two decades. Re- gardless of differences in the pace of recent black migration to suburbs, suburban selection is greater for blacks of higher socioeconomic status, sug- gesting that current migration largely represents choice rather than displacement. Future trends suggest further black migration to the suburbs with a pattern of segregation in suburban selection by blacks based on income.

Government housing programs and multifamily housing projects are the subjects of this anthology of papers. The need for government housing pro- grams that assure equal opportunity for homeown- ership among households in similar economic cir- cumstances, preserve the existing, useful housing stock, and increase the supply of dwellings in short - supply areas is examined. The paper focuses on these present Federal programs: Federal Housing Administration insurance programs; programs specified in the National Housing Act with standard underwriting criteria that emphasize the property's economic life rather than neighborhood condi- tions; and the Government National Mortgage As- sociation's tandem program which fosters con- struction during economic slowdowns by assisting middle - class families to become homeowners. The problem of displacement of urban, low - income households in neighborhood revitalization is addressed, and an analytic framework is pre- sented to examine the phenomenon and assess the magnitude of displacement. It uses a cost - benefit matrix to identify the affected parties and the effects of revitalization on them. The final papers turn to problems in multifamily housing pro- jects. HUD's inventory of insured and subsidized multifamily housing projects, designed for occu- pancy by low and moderate income families, is de- scribed in terms of selected financial, administra- tive, physical, and social attributes and problems - mainly inadequate project income, management, and onsite project management - are identified.

One of 5 booklets summarizing 18 HUD - spon- sored capacity - building and sharing projects, this report describes practical ideas on ways for gov- ernments to work together. Two reports involve groups of local governments and a regional plan- ning commission or council of governments, and another two cover obtaining aid from State govern- ments. In Minnesota, the Arrowhead Planning and Development Commission supported the joint ef- forts of the local governments to find services that could be administered jointly, but made no effort to direct those efforts. In Georgia, the Southeast Georgia Planning and Development Commission played a strong leadership role and acted as a champion for some innovations, but only after the representatives of local governments agreed on the areas in which they most wanted assistance. In each case, the approach was successful because it met local needs and was appropriate to local ways of doing things. Two different types of roles were played in the State - local projects. In Rhode Island, the State's Department of Community Af- fairs began with a strongly directive (but still inter- active) approach in support of a particular improve- ment: resources management assistance included equipment, personnel, and workhours and funds. Over the life of the project, the approach was modified to respond to local needs, even though the result was a variety of different improvements. In Connecticut, the State Department of Environ- mental Protection acted solely as a facilitator, ob- 249 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT taining agreements from Federal agencies to donate the time of experts, and funding a coordi- nator position in the Southeastern Connecticut Re- gional Planning Agency to respond to requests for expert help.

All of the ideas are based on using informa- tion generated locally. Among the projects briefly described in the booklet is the Washington, D.C., neighborhood project to improve the physical con- ditions of selected neighborhoods, increase citizen satisfaction about the physical condition of the neighborhood and with District services that affect neighborhood appearance, and increase the pro- ductivity of the District services; Anaheim's (Calif.), systematic advance planning for large public works projects; park maintenance projects in Honolulu, Hawaii, and two of Akron, Ohio, (one in- volving the development of a management infor- mation system, the other the formulation of a visual evaluation manual containing photographs of city parks and recreation areas). In addition, the booklet outlines the system created by six Califor- nia cities for scheduling workshifts for extended public services (paramedic / ambulance service, vehicle management, sewage treatment, and others) beyond normal business hours.

The ideas are meant to be adaptable to individual city needs but not necessarily transferable from one need to another. Each writeup includes a descrip- tion of the project, project titles, and ordering num- bers for project documents. The projects include a Washington, D.C., effort to improve services to neighborhoods by coordinating citizen and em- ployee action to clean up neighborhoods; an Oregon program to standardize and centralize li- censing operations to cut the clerical staff so that less clerical help and application turnaround time is needed; and a Honolulu, Hawaii, project to intro- duce quality control and task reallocation to en- hance park maintenance services using fewer staff. A group of Rhode Island local governments cooperated to design a handbook for creating per- formance measures (primarily workload and unit cost), recordkeeping systems to support them, and cost allocation or cost accounting systems. Sever- al cities developed new measures for improving employee productivity and morale using organiza- tion development methods and total performance management.

This policy review considers the diverse housing needs of the elderly. In retirement, income is usual- ly low, either because the person is chronically poor (with little or no accumulated wealth), or be- cause the person experiences an income reduc- tion, but with a retention of assets, typically in the form of home equity. Low income may be com- pounded by health problems, or by changes in the household composition. With long retirement peri- ods (the average life expectancy of a person aged 65 is 14 years), housing services change, and the physical structure of the house and the social and other neighborhood amenities associated with the dwelling become more important. The aged person may feel the need for a physical environ- ment that provides effective personal security or a social environment providing frequent contact with other senior citizens. The current housing situation for the elderly does not always reflect these needs in its major demographic, income, location, and housing features; tenure patterns; housing quality; and housing expense burdens. HUD is able to serve bol and task reallocation to enhance park maintenance services using fewer staff. A group of Rhode Island local governments cooperated to design a handbook for creating performance measures (primarily workload and unit cost), rec- ordkeeping systems to support them, and cost al- location or cost accounting systems. Several cities developed new measures for improving employee productivity and morale using organization devel- opment methods and total performance manage- ment.

Second in a series on how the nation's citizens are housed, this volume focuses on the physical ade- quacy and affordability of housing for female - headed households. Household units headed by women are less adequate than in the nation as a whole. The housing has more flaws, is somewhat older, and is more likely to be rented than owned. The probability of a female - headed household living in inadequate housing depends on income, household size (the larger the household, the less chance of adequate housing), race, and ethnicity. Compared with 20 percent of all American house- holds, it is estimated that nearly half of all female heads of household must spend more than the tra- ditional 25 percent of their cash incomes to obtain adequate housing. If a female head of household is Hispanic, black, or head of a large family, she will fare even worse. In addition, almost 75 percent of women over 65 who are living alone must spend more than a quarter of their income to afford hous- ing adequate to their needs. According to statis- tics, 80 percent of all households should be able to obtain unflawed, uncrowded housing if they spend one - fourth of their income, but only 53 percent of all female - headed households can be expected to find adequate housing for the same proportion of income. In short, while all female - headed households suffer inadequate housing with about the same frequency as the general population, they must pay a substantially greater proportion of their incomes to maintain this status.

Third in a series on how the nation's citizens are housed, this volume focuses on the physical ade- quacy and affordability of housing for blacks. The housing of blacks is more than twice as often phys- ically flawed as is the housing of the total popula- tion. The proportion of blacks living in units with multiple flaws, especially maintenance and plumb- ing deficiencies, is more than three times that of the total population. In addition, blacks live in older housing more than the total population since they often are clustered in the central cities, where the housing stock is aging. Similarly, a black house- hold must spend a larger proportion of its income on housing than the average householder. It is es- timated that 37 percent of blacks (but only 20 per- cent of the total population) need to spend more than a quarter of their cash incomes to live in un- flawed, uncrowded housing. Blacks face the addi- tional handicap of discriminatory housing practices which can only contribute to the probability of blacks being ill - housed. In the case of household heads who are poor, male, and over 65 years old, the difference between blacks and whites aver- ages out to 15 percentage points to the disadvan- tage of the blacks. In large households headed by women, the difference between poor blacks and poor whites is small, although it is the blacks who fare less well. Although adequate housing de- pends on age, sex, household size, and race, it is income that is the most significant determinant of how well or poorly people are housed. Tables ac- company the text.

This first formal report on a nationwide study de- scribes the status of discrimination against blacks in the sale and rental of housing. Approximately 300 whites and 300 blacks, (called auditors), shopped in matched pairs for housing advertised in the newspapers of 40 standard metropolitan sta- tistical areas. A systematic comparison of the rela- tive treatments accorded black and white housing seekers, done under the tightly controlled circum- stances of the study, provides the basis for the re- sults. The objectives of the study were to measure the nature and extent of discrimination against blacks in American housing markets, and to deter- mine what factors (including the enforcement of housing civil rights legislation) influence the ob- served discrimination. Definitive evidence shows that blacks are systematically treated less favor- ably with regard to housing availability, were treat- ed less courteously, and were asked for more in- formation than were whites (e.g. with respect to an index of housing availability, the discrimination in the rental market was 27 percent and in the sales market 15 percent). The effect on housing search- es of blacks may be cumulative; if 27 percent of rental agents discriminate, then a black who visits 4 rental agents can expect to encounter at least 1 instance of discrimination 72 percent of the time. Discriminatory treatment of blacks appears to vary regionally and by size of metropolitan area, al- though precise factors influencing discriminatory treatment have not been fully explored. Policy im- plications cannot be acted upon until the data have been further analyzed. However, several observa- tions can be drawn from the findings: (1) efforts to combat racial discrimination have not been com- pletely successful, (2) discriminatory behavior may be quite difficult to detect, and (3) although sub- stantial racial discrimination was observed, blacks were treated no differently from their white team- mates in a high percentage of the total number of cases.

This booklet describes techniques that local gov- ernments can use to provide high quality and eco- nomical fire service. Special emphasis is placed on the use of deployment analysis to improve station locations and the dispatching practices in fire de- partments. Proper analysis by fire safety profes- sionals can preserve crucial firefighting skills while permitting adjustments to the fiscal pressures faced by many communities. Typical computer programs used for analysis cost under $5,000 for small departments, and can aid staffing and opti- mum location problems. Workload problems can be reduced by modifications of dispatch proce- dures to accommodate actual, rather than specu- lative, circumstances. The organization of the proj- ect team ought to involve highly visible support from the department's leaders, and should be based on suggestions from available department experts and citizen groups. A cooperative plan with other departments can be better and less expen- sive than a single - department analysis. The proj- ect team should be encouraged to consider possi- bilities that may not initially seem practical, per- haps by examining methods that have been used in other jurisdictions. In its analysis of dispatch poli- cies, the team should attempt to formulate consist- ent rules for alarm assignments. During implemen- tation, the public should be consulted and advised of the rationale for changes in fire policies. Case studies and references are provided. PB80-122450 PC A06/MF A01 Brussels Univ.

The first section contains the new inter-urban model which describes the evolution of an interacting hierarchy of urban centers and the development of internal structure within each center. It is shown how mutual interactions between elements of the system lead to a self-organization of the system through successive instabilities of the collective structure.

The report describes a number of methods of ex- ploiting development opportunities around transit stations. Twelve techniques are discussed in the report: incentive zoning, special district zoning, dedications and exactions, official maps, dedi- cated property taxes, tax increment financing, spe- cial benefit assessments, service charges, selling or leasing air rights, leasing or selling supplemental property, developing air rights/supplemental prop- erty, and participation in property development. The report evaluates these specific financing tech- niques in terms of revenue yield, institutional feasi- bility and promise for application to the transit field. The analysis concluded that a combination of these innovative financing techniques could defray from five to fifteen percent of the capital costs as- sociated with fixed guideway facilities. The most promising techniques typically involve joint devel- opment, the concept of value capture, and private investment on land around transit facilities.

Important among nonstructural methods for reduc- ing damage from flooding is the regulation of land use in flood plains combined with government sponsored insurance. The Flood Disaster Protec- tion Act of 1 973 provides for such a program to be adopted by local communities. Participation is in- duced by penalities and incentives. Nevertheless, not all communities have promptly qualified for full participation. A questionnaire survey of medium sized cities in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebras- ka found that nearly all of them were complying with the law and if not fully participating, were taking appropriate steps to do so. Many of the latter were appealing flood-hazard zone bound- aries or were making appropriate structural changes to reduce the size of area vulnerable to flooding or its frequency so as to reduce the need for insurance or its cost.

The study examines the hypothesis that the poor employment performance of the North (New Eng- land, Middle Atlantic and East North Central) is due to the migration of firms to the South. The study investigates recent changes in the composi- tion of business enterprises and the migration of these firms to, from, and within the Northern region. The migration debate is resolved by making intraregional and interregional comparisons as to the source of firm and employment losses. Com- parisons are made of firm birth, death, and migra- tion rates by industry within and between regions. The study utilizes a file from Dun and Bradstreet containing data on nearly one million firms over a five-year period. This data base permitted 'the ex- amination of firms by location, industry and em- ployment size, not only at a point in time, but over time'. The study found that out-migration of em- ployers is a relatively insignificant problem for the North. The primary source of firm and employment losses was the closure of firms, not their migration. However, the Middle Atlantic states have suffered from the migration of firms between states within the North. PB80-131584 PC A16/MF A01 Pullman Kellogg, Houston, TX.

Interest in the European system of fare collection for urban transit broadly known as Self-Service Fare Collection (SSFC) has been growing in the U.S. The European experience indicates that SSFC promotes greater operating efficiency and improved service delivery. The common features of SSFC-self-monitoring, fare payment, receipts, ticket inspction and penalties-represent substan- tial departures from the current operating proce- dures and existing legal powers of U.S. transit sys- tems. This 4-volume study discusses the European SSFC system and the relative merits of the alterna- tive approaches to self-service with respect to their application in the United States. Volume I of this study describes the European approach to and ra- tionale for self-service fare collection; documents the experience European transit systems have had with using and enforcing these procedures; and discusses the relative merits of the alternative ap- proaches to self-service with respect to their appli- cation in the United States.

The effect on subsequent driving record of requir- ing traffic violators to attend classes at accredited schools rather than face the usual penalty meas- ures was evaluated. When presented with a certifi- cate of completion, the court usually then dis- misses the violation, and no record of the offense is available to DMV or others. No significant differ- ence in subsequent mean number of accidents or convictions was found between those subjects at- tending classes and those given waivers of attend- ance; additional runs on public vs. privately owned schools, and single 8-hour vs. several shorter ses- sions, likewise produced no significant evidence of interactions. Generalization is hampered by the se- lective nature of the schools studied; 60% of the courts contacted refused to allow subjects as- signed to traffic violator schools to be placed in a no school control group. Thus, the study was re- stricted to 129 schools utilized by the 52 courts that agreed to cooperate. The authors recommend either discontinuing the DMV accreditation pro- gram or upgrading standards and improving the monitoring process. PB80-132590 PC A09/MF A01 Ames, IA.

The objective of the study is to plan a research program to evaluate the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC). Equilibrium and disequilibrium models were developed to analyze the TJTC's impact under alternative assumptions. A two-step empiri- cal research program was proposed to determine which model most accurately describes reality. A preliminary simulation study should be conducted to see if a detailed, microeconomic study is justi- fied. The payoff of studying firms' behavior is prob- ably greater than of studying target group mem- bers' behavior. It was found that unless the TJTC raises target group wages or lowers their unem- ployment rate, it will not be desirable. Thus re- search should be directed at answering these questions. The TJTC is more likely to improve wel- fare if it offsets existing market distortions such as the minimum wage. PB80-133655 PC A06/MF A01 California Univ., Davis. Interdisciplinary Systems Group.

The report recommends strategies to the agencies concerned with economic development policy in New York City for maximizing the opportunity rep- resented by the air services industry to contribute to the City's economy in the 1980s. The air serv- ices industry contributed to the City's economy in three important ways. First, through employment; second, through the support of a wide variety of supplementary jobs in related activities; and third, through the provision of travel services. Recom- mended strategies are of two types. The first is an overall strategy. The second type of strategy con- cerns methods for dealing with the problems of the areas surrounding J.F.

Keywords: 'Local government, 'Fixed investment, 'Community development, Economic develop- ment, Urban planning, Facilities, Services, Munici- palities, Economic factors. This report is a synthesis of the literature examin- ing local governments attempts to plan and pro- gram their capital facilities to carry out develop- ment objectives. Most textbooks and reports which consider the relationship between public im- provements and private investment focus on sewers and highways. However, the factors that determine whether a community will grow, stabi- lize, or decline include complex economic, social, and environmental conditions. Isolating one factor as the determinant may be impossible and even unnecessary. Government may influence private development decisions through a broad range of techniques including advice, negotiation, public purchase, regulation, investment, and taxation. The literature repeatedly points out that while one or another method might be more critical at a par- ticular time in a particular place, none of these ac- tions can be separated from the decisions leading to community growth or change. In recent years, the legality of municipal actions to control capital improvements has been attacked by utilities, land- owners, and others affected. Since the U.S. Su- preme Court is unlikely to involve itself in these issues of planning law, the rulings of State courts will prevail, indicating that the State will be the in- termediary between municipalities and those who oppose municipal decisions. Each chapter pro- vides extensive reference notes. An overview of a typical city capital improvements program, notes, and a bibliography are appended.

The City of Indio, Calif., developed a local energy conservation program to demonstrate the type of planning and implementation practical for cities with populations under 20,000. The project staff began by collecting data, reviewing building codes, analyzing the climate, and analyzing the environ- mental impact of both current and proposed plan- ning and building practices. This review revealed that current building codes actually discourage energy conservation. These codes mandate unu- sable side yard space, large ornamental front yards, and fairly small back yards which taken to- gether (1) encourage sprawl and increase the area covered with pavement heat problems; (2) in- crease the distance residents must travel, discour- aging walking; and (3) remove land from agricultur- al use. Commercial codes paid little attention to the use of overhangs and techniques to reduce heat retention. Safe walkways and bicycle paths were not routinely considered in planning. Com- mercial buildings were generally overlit, with city - owned buildings the worst offenders. Since Indio's climate is predominantly hot and dry, most of the suggestions focus on ways to cut air conditioning costs, although many of the techniques would also cut heating costs. Diagrams show how landscap- ing, overhangs, and window design reduce heat gain. Building materials are evaluated and various residential and commercial design changes are il- lustrated. An energy - saving checklist is included as are tabular data, technical appendices, and a bibliography. PB80-135635 PC A14/MF A01 International City Management Association, Wash- ington, DC.

A legacy of the Memorandum of Understanding, a 5 - year agreement between the Canadian Ministry of State for Urban Affairs and HUD to share and cooperate in research and dissemination of infor- mation concerning neighborhood revitalization, this document compares and contrasts existing neighborhood preservation and housing rehabilita- tion programs in the two countries. It provides an overview of the existing programs which include Canada's Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) and Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) and HUD's Community Develop- 256 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ment Block Grant (CDBG), Section 312 Rehabilita- tion Loan, Urban Homesteading, Neighborhood Housing Services, and Title I Home Improvement Loans programs. NIP provides loans and grants for land clearance, relocation, administration, and basic infrastructure improvements to match Cana- dian provincial funds on a varying basis, and RRAP, applied in NIP areas, furnishes loans to both homeowners and landlords for housing reha- bilitation. The Canadian provincial governments act as the middlemen, negotiating with the Federal government for annual contracts and selecting municipalities to participate in revitalization. In con- trast, municipalities in the U.S. negotiate directly with urban assistance programs. The CDBG, the largest and most comprehensive of these types of programs in the U.S., makes Federal funds availa- ble to local governments without matching grant money. Three important aspects of the programs in the two nations are contrasted: (1) their differing approaches to planning, citizen participation, and uses of funds; (2) housing quality and rent control requirements; and (3) financing mechanisms for housing rehabilitation.

American homeowners often do an inadequate job of conserving their dwellings because they do not know what should be done and because current technologies often cannot be used by do - it - your- selfers. There are also gaps in the technology available for home maintenance and repair. A series of tables evaluate current technology for 1 1 critical building elements, plus repair and revnova- tion technology as a whole. These tables summa- rize the skills needed for use of the technique, the means of installation, and advantages and disad- vantages. Topics covered are roofing, exterior cladding, windows, insulation, basement water- proofing, floor and wall underlayments (wet areas), structural framing, heating and cooling systems, plumbing systems, electrical systems, and appli- ances. Technologies which will enable the home- owner to quickly measure the moisture accumulat- ing under the roof or to evaluate the quality of the home's wiring do not exist; better waterproofing materials are also needed for basements and other wet areas. Little information is available on the durability of various exterior products and window frame security has received little attention. Insulation technology is in a state of flux. Here the homeowner especially needs full information to make an informed decision. Renovation involves special problems because old houses were fre- quently built out of plumb and settling adds to the problems encountered in using prefabricated ma- terials. Do - it - yourselfers are often the first to use technology; however, conservative lenders and housing codes often hinder such innovation.

Mainly a detailed assessment of the technologies available for dwelling repair, replacement, and ren- ovation, this report focuses on single - family homes and multi - family structures containing up to 20 dwelling units. American homeowners gener- ally handle most repair and maintenance either by doing the work themselves or by calling small con- tractors for one job at a time. The owner frequently does an inadequate job of conserving the dwelling, not only because maintenance is expensive, but also because current information does not tell what must be done and what the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies are, and does not present the cost data necessary for an informed decision. A state - of - the - art review surveys both the technologies and information available to the homeowner for 1 1 critical building elements: roofing, exterior cladding, windows, in- sulation, basement waterproofing, floor and wall underlayments (wet areas), structural framing, heating and cooling systems, plumbing systems, electrical systems, and appliances. Technologies to help the owner handle major jobs such as meas- uring the amount of moisture under a roof or evalu- ating house wiring do not exist. In other areas, the technology either has advanced little or is in such a state of flux that data is confusing. Renovation and repair offer additional problems because old houses were often built out of plumb so that set- tling compounds the problems. A chart lists cost manuals for renovation work.

This guide has been designed to assist tribal offi- cials who are contemplating or who have received Community Development Block Grants for housing rehabilitation programs. These programs face spe- cial problems - large numbers of substandard units in distant locations, lack of skilled craftsmen on the reservation, and problems of materials de- livery and work scheduling. This Guide is based on information gathered from ongoing efforts on res- ervations in California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The first step is an assessment of the problem, which can be obtained through a 'wind- shield survey' conducted by tribal officials driving around the reservation. Once the tribe knows how many dwellings are involved and the condition of these dwellings, a fair allocation can be made. Guidelines for setting these allocations are given. Often a tribe must go to an outside contractor to get an effective supervisor. The key to a good pro- gram is construction know - how and the ability to schedule time and materials delivery. Local build- ing codes should be used to set standards. Some tribes use their housing rehabilitation programs to teach unemployed tribal members construction skills. Others have found it too expensive to slow down an entire project while unskilled workers learn. Techniques for using paid skilled labor to teach unskilled workers are given. The final sec- tions cover materials scheduling and the pros and cons of relocating families while the work is being done.

This report represents the National Association of Counties' (NACo) involvement in the needs as- sessment process of the Financial Management Capacity Sharing Program, sponsored by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research. It re- lates the process and results of the initial program phase. NACo used the nominal group technique to determine financial priority problems at a 1 - day workshop. Elected and appointed officials (county commissioners, managers, treasurers, budget di- rectors) were divided into five discussion groups led by facilitators from the Academy for Contempo- rary Problems. These sessions provided partici- pants with the opportunity to discuss and establish a list of financial problems. From approximately 180 problems identified, the following were includ- ed as most significant: (1) limited capacity for reve- nue, expenditure and service needs forecasting; (2) inadequate knowledge of good financial man- agement practices on the part of elected officials, department heads and staffs; (3) State limits on revenue sources, tax rates and level of indebted- ness; and (4) antiquated State laws on structure and finance. It was concluded that local govern- ments lack the ability to adequately project future revenues and expenditures, and to obtain appro- priate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost. It was also noted that local governments fail to ana- lyze and consider properly the fiscal impact of their decisions, and are generally unable to establish a local fiscal policy.

This report on the HAP Supply Ex- periment in South Bend, Ind., contains the results of a review on the implications of Housing Allow- ance Office (HAO) cost data and procedures for ongoing housing programs, specifically the exist- ing housing component of the Section 8 Program. The review objectives were to assess the efficien- cy of the HAO and determine where cost - savings could be achieved without serious detriment to program effectiveness, determine which adminis- trative costs and procedures are research related, assess the implications of HAO costs and proce- dures, and make recommendations on how HAO costs could be reduced. To do this, research staff developed a detailed and comprehensive evalua- tion design which involved reviewing operations of the South Bend HAO, assessment of the implica- tions of HAO review findings for ongoing pro- grams, and preparation of a report on the basic concepts of the Section 8 and Housing Allowance Programs, administrative procedures employed at HAO, key determinants of administrative costs for agencies involved with a rent subsidy program, the effect on costs of different program assumptions and characteristics, and the Section 8 cost reim- bursement methodology. Findings reveal that the administrative cost experience of the HAO is useful in understanding the general determinants of administrative costs but should not be used in direct comparisons with the costs of rent subsidy programs; factors beyond the control of the admin- istrative agency may encourage the agency to alter program goals to reduce costs; administrative agencies can be persuaded to improve the effi- ciency of operations in ways which do not compro- mise program goals; and the current approach for reimbursing administrative costs in Section 8 has limitations which may inhibit HUD's ability to adjust to differences among agencies.

Findings and recommendations resulting from an operations review of the South Bend, Ind., Housing Allowance Office (HAO), the administrative agent for the allowance payment program of the Supply experiment being conducted in South Bend, Ind., and Green Bay, Wis., are reported. The review consisted of a general investigation of all HAO ac- tivities, interviews with members of the HAO staff and management, review and analysis of client - processing procedures, examination of HAO hand- books, observation of housing evaluation and in- formation sessions, and other methods. At the time of review, the HAO had a staff of 80 and a recipient level of 3,541 households. Following are a sample of findings: (1) management's attention has been diverted from the primary responsibility (to generate recipients), a fact demonstrated by the 6 - month backlog of unprocessed applica- tions; (2) the lack of any backlog in the certification and housing evaluation section suggested an im- balance in workload among the sections and transferral of some personnel to the client services section is suggested; (3) a more extensive pre- screening process is needed to cut down on inter- view time, and (3) quality control reporting for client services activities was not responsive to client needs and should be adjusted to focus on the cer- tification process where a 100 percent review of enrollment and recertification forms takes place.

Commissioned by HUD, this report describes the findings and conclusions of an evaluation of Posi- tive Futures, Inc. (PFI), a consortium of nine black colleges and universities which established Local Capacity Building (LCB) programs designed to (1) utilize the resources and capabilities of the member institutions in supporting local govern- ment management needs, (2) build, aid, or improve the management capabilities of local communities, and (3) foster increased community involvement and participation in local affairs by providing the resources, training, and ongoing support neces- sary to improve the skills and expertise of the com- munity. The major objectives of the study were (1) to define LCB at the participating PFI institutions, (2) to determine the methods, techniques, and ap- proaches used by the institutions in pursuing LCB programs, (3) to determine how effective the insti- tutions' programs were in increasing the manage- ment capability of local communities, (4) to assess the potential for transferability of the LCB concept to other communities and institutions. Site visits were undertaken at six of the PFI institutions, fol- lowed by analyses of interview data, program rec- ords, and other documentation. Among other things, it is concluded that the black college LCB program was successful in meeting its primary goal of increasing management capabilities within the local communities of four of the six institutions. The program was also found to be unusually cost effective and four institutions were effective in fos- tering meaningful relationships with the local gov- ernments. Further, the LCB program was found to strengthen the institutions' education effort and to contribute to the enchancement of their involve- ment in community life.

The existence, nature, and magnitude of the ten- dencies of races to voluntarily 'self - segregate' into particular areas of urban housing markets are investigated, specifically in terms of the following Questions: Do whites and blacks have an aversion to the opposite race in their neighborhood, all other things being equal. Is a white aversion to racial mixture due to distaste for blacks per se as individuals, or due to fear of incipient 'tipping' and resulting black majorities in the area or to factors commonly associated with mixed areas, such as lower housing quality and status, or greater turn- over and density. The bid - rent theory of housing markets is employed to develop a model showing how housing price variations within a group can provide unambiguous evidence of self - segregat- ing tendencies. The model is operationalized in a multiple regression specification wherein the vari- ations in a given racial group's housing prices become a function of the dwellings' attributes and the attributes of the neighborhood, including qual- ity, status, stability, and density, as well as housing submarket location racial composition. The regres- sions are estimated using two microhousehold data bases from St. Louis, Mo., and Wooster, Ohio. This allows differences in behavior of households in a large city with a rapidly expanding central ghetto to be compared to those in a small town with a stable, small, and widely dispersed black community. Results show that St. Louis blacks have an aversion to both predominantly black and white neighborhoods. St. Louis whites do not dem- onstrate an aversion to increased black population until it exceeds 26 percent, whereupon white prices fall. White prices continue to fall with further increases in black percentages. Wooster whites show an aversion to living in neighborhoods having even a few percent of blacks. The findings support the hypotheses that blacks prefer racially bal- anced integrated areas, while whites prefer all - white areas and are especially averse to integrated neighborhoods where a danger of racial transition is likely.

Experimental housing allowance programs in Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind., offer monthly cash payments to low - income rent- ers and homeowners, provided that their dwellings meet certain standards. This study traces the housing actions enrollees took to qualify for pay- ments during the first 2 years of program oper- ations. The analysis is based on records for 4,213 enrollees in Brown County and 5,782 in St. Joseph County. About half of all preenrollment dwellings in each site failed initial evaluations. The enrollees whose dwellings most often failed were those with large households, those headed by elderly per- sons or nonwhites, and those living in inexpensive homes. Failure rates for renters and homeowners were similar overall. About 95 percent of the enroll- ees whose dwellings were initially acceptable stayed in them and began receiving allowance payments. Of those in unacceptable dwellings, about two - thirds repaired, a tenth moved, and over a fifth terminated their enrollment without ever qualifying for payments. In general, the worst dwellings were the least likely to be repaired, with the occupants usually choosing either to move or terminate. Homeowners were more likely to repair than renters and less likely to move. During the 2 years covered by the data, 83 percent of all enroll- ees in Brown County and 78 percent in St. Joseph County achieved certification of at least one dwell- ing. Among those who did not achieve certification, whether they were terminated or still enrolled at the closing date for the file, the striking fact is that few tried very hard to do so; only 8 percent of that group engaged in a repair action or a move that might have led to certification. Within the year fol- lowing first certification and commencement of payments, 27 to 29 percent of the allowance recip- ients in each site terminated their enrollments and 6 to 10 percent moved. The terminations mostly reflect loss of eligibility whereas the moves reflect the movers' dissatisfaction with their dwellings. About two - thirds of all recipients stayed in their first certified dwellings until annual evaluations were due. Those evaluations indicate that about a fifth of the dwellings in Brown County and a third in St. Joseph County had fallen below program standards during the year following first certifica- tion. Future research into program - related hous- ing decisions can benefit from this improved method of detailing client histories and the correc- tion of errors found in the records. The relation- ships found in the present study between housing decisions and clients' household and housing characteristics lead to several behavioral hypoth- eses that should be rigorously tested. Tabular and graphic data are provided, and the appendix in- cludes discussions of eligiblity tests, housing standards, payment authorization, and modeling certification success.

This evaluation of the nature of the impact of the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) process on local community housing strategies is based on 32 case studies, data on HUD funding in 183 cities, and a random sample of 120 HAP's drawn from HUD files. Largest problems came when Federal policy conflicted with local priorities. In suburban commu- nities, especially, local officials wanted to focus ex- clusively on housing for the elderly while Federal policy wanted to disperse low - income families. In metropolitan areas, funding was often denied if projects were in areas of low - income concentra- tion. These tensions, combined with occasional capricious HUD rulings, led to some distrust. On the positive side, the HAP process focused atten- tion on housing issues. In cities, the preparation of the HAP was usually the job of the planning depart- ment. In smaller towns, one person usually took charge. A few small communities relied on guess- work, but many hired a consultant or ran a local survey, gathering much useful data. The HAP itself commanded little political attention and there was a surprising lack of interest on the part of citizens and developers. Only those few areawide planning organizations with strong housing policy powers in- fluenced HAP's through the A - 95 review policy while State housing agencies tended to disregard them. The major problem identified is the disrup- tive effect of HUD - mandated policies on the local process, an issue which needs to be resolved. The study is well documented and contains technical appendices. PB80-135809 PC A06/MF A01 Berkeley Planning Associates, CA. Evaluation of Housing Assistance Plans.

The Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) was con- ceived as a tool to help local communities set their own housing policy. This evaluation used case studies from 36 cities, suburbs, and small commu- nities to examine the HAP process and its effect on local housing goals. In general, the HAP process has been surrounded by conflict, particularly when local priorities conflict with Federal and regional housing goals. This has been particularly evident in suburban communities which plan to help the el- derly but do not wish to assist low income families. However, because cities are more familiar with Federal guidelines and have a greater commitment to low income families, the process has been quite successful for large metropolitan communities. Section 8 programs were the most frequently used type of aid; many jurisdictions considered HAP synonymous with Section 8. HAP's are not used for such issues as growth control, housing price inflation, and redlining, and do not guarantee cre- ative approaches to housing policy. Implementa- tion of local Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) strategies has generally been successful although organizational and power shifts within local governments and inexperience, necessitat- ing a learning process, have caused some difficul- ty. It is concluded that although the HAP has not led to great changes in housing strategy, it has en- couraged communities to consider the housing market as a whole. The study findings are detailed in tables and appendices. PB80-135817 PC A15/MF A01 Berkeley Planning Associates, CA. Evaluation of Housing Assistance Plans. Volume III.

This report examines the particular mix of housing assistance received by participating communities under the Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) and the equity of the distribution procedures. Most of the data focuses on Section 8 program delivery to 1 70 localities in 8 standard metropolitan areas. On the whole, the program is disproportionately skewed toward large cities. Cities with new construction goals smaller than 100 units are less likely to re- ceive any new construction assistance than cities with goals for more than 100 units. There is geo- graphic disparity also. Cities in the Denver, Colo., Minneapolis, Minn., and Charlotte, N.C., regions are more likely to receive assistance than cities in other areas. Rehabilitation projects showed similar discrepancies in funding as did assistance to exist- ing units. Central city areas tended to receive Sec- tion 8 assistance that are in one - to - one corre- spondence with HAP goals. If Loan Management units are excluded, corresponence is halved, re- vealing significant gaps between goals, resources, and responses. In suburban areas much smaller proportions of goals were met. The program got some suburban communities to think about hous- ing goals for the first time. Case studies show the program did not encourage migration of low - income families to the suburbs. Suburban projects served slightly higher income groups and most re- cipients were already in the suburban area. The administration of the program is examined in detail. The findings are heavily documented with charts, tables, and statistics. PB80-135825 PC A10/MF A01 Berkeley Planning Associates, CA. Evaluation of Housing Assistance Plans.

Most communities genuinely attempted to comply with HAP require- ments. Most prepared data describing local condi- tions, provided documentation, and developed local program goals. However, many communities failed to complete specific data matrices because the data either were not available or were not avail- able in the form requested by the HAP. Failure to provide methodology documentation was wide- spread, particularly documentation of the data source for each cell and the structure of local sur- veys used. Except for larger cities, communities presented scant documentation for goal priorities. There were few violations of the 10 percent rule holding beneficiary composition of total goals pro- portional to total assistance needs but many com- munities proposed new construction in spite of rental vacancy rates above 6 percent. The HAP document itself is criticized for containing many meaningless cells, for failing to ask about over- crowded units and other significant information, and for confronting the municipality with confusing columns of totals and subtotals. Because it is a static document it fails to elicit data about chang- ing conditions. Because data collection methods are not comparable, it cannot be used to provide aggregate totals. The general instructions and guidelines are also called confusing. Statistical tables, copies of completed HAP's, and other sup- porting data are included.

The previous four volumes of this evaluation found that serious dysfunctions exist in the housing and community development system because HUD's provision of housing assistance does not respond to Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) goals. Local planners often see the HAP as an irrelevant re- quirement for Community Development Block Grants while citizens and politicians view it as both a technical and trivial document. The simplified matrix format accents the HAP's technical abstrac- tion from the intricacies of local housing issues. To remedy this, the report makes 37 recommenda- tions relating to the form of the HAP, its use in awarding grants, and the administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program as a whole. The HAP should be simplified so that it contains only those data items necessary for program decisions. It should be a 3 - year plan to be developed by local communities, a narrative summary should focus on local housing needs, and the emphasis should be placed on identifying groups who will benefit from housing assistance. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on rural housing. HUD administrative practices are criti- cized, especially delays in making grant decisions and the use of Section 8 funds to bolster failing HUD projects. New formulas for computing grant eligibility, faster review procedures, and a plan for quickly recycling all unawarded money are spelled out. PB80-135841 PC A05/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, CA.

The experimental housing allowance program op- erated by the Brown County Housing Allowance Office is designed to enable participants with low incomes to afford decent, safe, and sanitary hous- ing in that community. The schedule of the stand- ard cost of adequate housing (R) that was adopted when enrollment began in June 1974 reflected housing costs in the county as they were reported in a market survey conducted in August, Septem- ber, and October of 1973. In April 1976, the R schedule was increased by about 16 percent to compensate for rent increases occurring in the 30 months since it was first set. In April 1977, the schedule was increased across the board by about 6 percent to compensate for fuel and utility cost increases. The study reported here was promoted by evidence that inflation in the cost of housing had made even the latest schedule obsolete, and that allowance payments were no longer adequate to serve program purposes. The study is based pri- marily on surveys of housing costs throughout the county that were not available for the 1976 and 1977 revisions. From the data gathered, it is con- cluded that between 1974 and 1977, contract rent in the county increased at an average annual rate of about 4.4 percent. Gross rent, including fuel and utility services billed to tenants, increased at an average annual rate of about 6.6 percent. The in- flation rate varied markedly in different sectors of the rental market. It was higher for single - family homes than for apartments and higher for low - rent units than for high - rent units. While the rate of increase in fuel and utility costs appears to have moderated, tentative estimates of rent inflation in 1977 indicate that gross rent, implying shelter rent, 259 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT increased even faster in 1977 than in 1976. Under those circumstances, it is concluded that the best estimate of inflation for April 1977 to April 1978 is provided by a sample extrapolation of the estimate for January 1976 through March 1977. Proposed adjustments in the payment schedule to compen- sate for the inflation rate are presented, and the effects of the proposed change are discussed. Tabular and graphic data are presented. The ap- pendix includes alternative estimates of inflation rates for 1977, rate schedules for fuel and utility services, 1973 - 1978, and rent change in Brown County as a response to fuel oil cost increases.

This thesis reports on one of the tasks of a project undertaken by the Center for Municipal Studies and Services at Stevens Institute as part of the Ho- boken Waterfront Redevelopment Project. Previ- ous project reports have indicated the need to find and explore alternative uses for the urban water- front; this study explores converting urban water- front areas into small boat manufacturing, repair, and service facilities. The study determines supply and demand of boats and boating services, with emphasis on local supply and demand of recre- ational boats. Hoboken is the core user area, with northern New Jersey, Manhattan, Staten Island, New York State bordering New Jersey, and east- ern Pennsylvania forming the intermediate and outer rings of population user areas. The study gathered data on boat owners, marinas, boat man- ufacturers, and suppliers and consultants for the local, regional, and national levels. Sources of data are identified. Study findings show that the lack of mooring, launching, and service facilities is inhibit- ing further growth of the small, recreational boat industry. There are approximately 226,000 regis- tered boat owners residing within 50 miles of Ho- boken, and there are nearly 40,000 registered boats whose owners reside in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties. It is estimated that one - fourth of these owners keep their boats in their county of residence. Marina / boat yard fac- tors important to boaters include the availability of gas, oil, minor repairs, and winter storage. Security and ability to perform major repairs are highly ranked. Due to high taxes and large initial invest- ment, it is not expected that Hoboken marina oper- ations could support all the expenses of a Hudson River site; however, because such a facility is in high demand, it should be considered a part of every major commerical, retail, and residential urban waterfront redevelopment.

In the summer of 1977, the Hoboken Community Development Agency requested the Center for Municipal Studies and Services of the Stevens In- stitute of Technology to study the use of appropri- ate and innovative mechanical system concepts for the Erie - Lackawanna Railroad and Ferry Ter- minal Building. This report conveys the findings of the study, which specifically pertains to recom- mendations for the construction of a heating - ven- tilation - air - conditioning system. The introduction summarizes the findings of a 1975 engineering survey of the terminal performed by a firm of archi- tects and planners. That study examined founda- tions, structural supports, roof, and copper clad- ding, and assessed the condition of each. The his- torical background of the building, and existing conditions and environment are then discussed. It is noted that only limited improvement in the ther- mal performance of the building envelope is possi- ble without disrupting either the (historic) exterior or the interior appearance of the building. Such dis- ruption would not be acceptable, since the build- ing, built in 1905, has been named to the Register of National Historic Sites. A description and analy- sis of the proposed transportation center is pre- sented, and alternative mechanical systems for space heating and cooling are discussed. Based on study evaluations, it is recommended that build- ing and site - use planning and evaluation should proceed on the basis of cost estimates for energy and utilities appropriate for conventional heating and cooling systems, water - supply and waste - disposal systems, and other mechanical systems.

Results are reported of a review of cost determi- nants of the Section 8 Existing Housing Program. Objectives of the study were to (1) identify the key determinants of administrative costs based on the findings of previous Section 8 reports, (2) catego- rize these determinants according to which are controllable by HUD or the Public Housing Authori- ty (PHA), (3) identify evaluation criteria and evalu- ate the current reimbursement methodology, (4) identify alternative reimbursement methodologies, and (5) recommend an approach for determining the most appropriate method for reimbursing Sec- tion 8 administrative costs. Findings show that the actual costs of starting a Section 8 program vary widely among agencies. The ongoing costs of maintaining recipients in the program are yet to be fully identified because most of the agencies re- viewed had been in the program less than one year. The current reimbursement methodology used by HUD has several shortcomings, but how well it covers actual costs and what incentives it provides PHA have yet to be determined. It is not yet possible, therefore, to select the most appro- priate reimbursement methodology until more in- formation is available on cost determinants and actual costs. There are alternative reimbursement approaches that could overcome some of the diffi- culties of the current methodology, but other issues would still need to be examined. Based on the conclusions, various approaches by which HUD can obtain the necessary information to make beneficial changes to Section 8 are consid- ered.

Six objectives of housing policy are listed and discussed: (1) meeting assisted housing needs through new construction starts and in- creased occupancy levels; (2) fully using the exist- ing housing stock by reclaiming and restoring dete- riorated units; (3) being responsive to the particular needs of individual communities; (4) increasing the housing choices available to low income and mi- nority families; (5) improving the delivery system of housing services to small towns and rural areas; and (6) encouraging middle - income households to remain in or return to the older urban areas. Sta- tistics on housing production and marketing show that, while multifamily and mobile home output was meager, the single family housing production level of 1.451 million units in 1977 was the highest volume on record, with the exception of one or two years in the early 1950s. The outlook for housing production and marketing throughout 1978 is for continued high levels of output, although the total volume is expected to be somewhat lower than in 1977. Housing prices and costs continue to be a matter of concern, and trends in construction and operating costs in relation to general prices in the economy and the incomes of homeowners and renters are discussed. Changes in the quality of the nation's existing housing stock, based on evi- dence from the decennial census and the Annual Housing Survey are examined.

A summary is provided of the findings of a con- trolled experiment which altered HUD's Single Family Mortgage Credit Processing procedures in three Region 9 Field Office locations: Reno and Las Vegas, Nev., and Los Angeles, Calif. The ex- periment was an effort to speed up processing time for both HUD mortgagees and HUD itself, to reduce the number of cases resubmitted to HUD for reprocessing, and to reduce processing costs for HUD. The major change involved conducting face - to - face, rather than through the mails, all communication between HUD and the lender. The major features were (1) mortgagees took more un- derwriting responsibility for formally prequalifying home buyers, (2) mortgagees made an appoint- ment with HUD to process and review the case face - to - face at the HUD office, (3) mortgagees explained unclear items or furnished additional in- formation to HUD, and (4) HUD's Mortgage Credit Examiner issued a firm commitment or rejection at the conclusion of the appointment. Four significant findings were found to be true, to varying degrees, for the three locations: (1) HUD's client mortgag- ees overwhelmingly endorsed the procedure and wanted it installed full - time; (2) the application time for firm commitment was speeded - up, and nearly all participants experienced time savings; (3) the changes to HUD procedures that came about as a result of the experiment were unpopular with most HUD mortgage credit staff; and (4) there were tangible benefits to HUD in that staff costs were reduced.

The Office of Program Planning and Evaluation was asked to evaluate the management agent fee process for HUD multifamily insured projects since the fees being paid are discretionary and there is no common definition of what is 'good' or 'bad' management and no clear idea of what services are provided for the fee paid. Five specific tech- niques were used in the evaluation: indepth inter- views with Housing Management officials in each field office in Region 9 (San Francisco, Calif.), in- terviews with managing agents in the San Francis- co and Los Angeles (Calif.) areas, a site visit to the Seattle (Wash.) Regional Office and the Portland (Ore.) office, requests for information to the Office of Housing Management in each of the other HUD regions, and interrogation of the Ollie's Loan Man- agement System regarding existing management fees. Basic findings were that the majority of field offices in Region 9 use some sort of fee review worksheet (or schedule) based in principle on that proposed in the 1973 draft handbook, most sys- tems do not impose penalties for poor manage- ment quality, and the approach used varies for subsidized and unsubsidized projects only in the level of fees allowed. Fees requested by managing agents are generally very close to the maximums which could be approved by the field office, and field office loan management officials think that when rents increase, the management fee should be allowed to rise proportionately to account for the agent's own cost inflation. The estimated range of fees currently approved and in force is from 5 to 7.5 percent for subsidized and 4 to 6 per- cent for unsubsidized. Further findings, recom- mendations, and the study instruments are ap- pended. PB80-135932 PC A04/MF A01 Department of Housing and Urban Development, San Francisco, CA.

This study, designed to determine the causes of multifamily defaults before final endorsement, de- scribes the factors that contribute to defaults, and provides guidance for handling such defaults within HUD field offices. The study focused on those factors which HUD can influence or correct. Focusing on 31 projects in the San Francisco and Los Angeles, Calif., area offices that reported preendorsement defaults as of November 1 , 1 973, the evaluation was undertaken because of the high percentage of cases not yet finally endorsed which are going into default. Between November 1973 and April 1974, about 8 percent of the Sec- tion 236 and Section 221(d)(4) projects not finally endorsed in the San Francisco area were in de- fault. For this same period in Los Angeles, over 20 percent of the Section 236 project were in default. These figures are the reported defaults and ac- cording to both HUD staff and mortgagees inter- viewed by the evaluators, they may be as much as 100 percent lower than the real figures. The major conclusions are that defaults before final endorse- ment are primarily caused by two factors: (1) delays at any point in project development ~ proc- essing, construction, cost certification, or occu- pancy - including those caused by HUD and those brought on by outside factors; and (2) HUD's inef- fective system for monitoring a project's progress after its initial endorsement. The following areas have been identified as particularly subject to ne- glect because of the absence of a monitoring system: (1) the construction inspection system has been inadequate as a monitoring tool of construc- tion progress, (2) the premature commencement of amortization has meant that projects must make mortgage payments before sustaining occupancy is achieved, (3) the HUD staff has not been ag- gressive in pursuing possible defaults when the available information on construction progress and draws from interest accounts indicate possible or probable defaults, and (4) the approval of exten- sions of the mortgagee's decision to foreclose or assign defaulted cases has often been automatic by HUD staff without regard to the impact of such actions.

Methodology, findings, and recommendations are reported for an analysis and evaluation of the man- agement fee review and approval process in Region IX. The basic issue for this study was whether a management fee review system can be developed to assure a fair rate of return to manag- ing agents for services provided, while protecting HUD's financial position. Would such a system be feasible for field offices, considering their work- loads and operational constraints. This interim study analyzed the fee review systems in Region IX and other HUD Regions, proposed alternatives for the consideration of the Regional Office of Housing Management, and evaluated alternatives. The majority of field offices in Region IX used some sort of fee review worksheet based in princi- ple on that proposed in the 1973 draft San Francis- co Regional Office Handbook. Fees requested by managing agents were found to be generally close to the maximum which could be approved by the field office, suggesting that agents have access to the methodologies used by the field offices. There was no evidence that managing agents have been receiving exorbitant fees for their services, as had been intimated. The majority of the field office staff believe that a higher (or more 'realistic') manage- ment fee contributes to better management. The alternatives considered were (1) a uniform work- sheet, which would require the development of a standard Regional worksheet for the calculation of maximum fees; (2) a bidding system, which would require an owner to solicit and receive a certain number of competitive bids prior to the selection of an agent to manage a HUD - insured project; and (3) a ceiling on administrative expenses. Using a uniform worksheet is recommended, and reasons for the recommendation are discussed. The ap- pendices contain sample worksheets used by var- ious Regional Offices. Graphic data are provided.

The Net / Benefit process was developed in a joint effort by the City of Simi Valley, Calif., and John Blayney As- sociates, San Francisco, Calif., and involved checking existing review procedures to avoid dupli- cation, testing by simulation on development pro- posals, and modifying the process to ensure the accuracy of its overall predictions. A basic compo- nent of the process as developed in Simi Valley is the impact matrix concept which permits assess- ment of the impact of a project (e.g., major annex- ation or zoning proposals, development proposals, alternative site plans) by analyzing the interaction between the city's concerns and priorities and project features. Elements of the matrix are evalu- ation criteria -- public services and fiscal element, economic element, social element, environmental element - and project features - physical design, density / intensity, land use relationship, develop- ment schedule, fiscal arrangements. Impacts are classified as benefits or disbenefits. The matrix also expands to include mitigating measures (ac- tions that the city, county, or developer could un- dertake to lessen negative impacts resulting from a project) and tradeoffs. The entire Net / Benefit process can be distilled into three basic oper- ations: determining impacts, developing mitigation measures, and trading off and decisionmaking. Steps for developing the system and actually using it are presented, and notes on transferability and limitations of the process are provided.

HUD 701 ' funding was used to identify the advantages Plainfield can offer to industry, and to match these advantages to specific types of in- dustry. There are four key elements in the ISD pro- gram: (1) the city works with industry rather than focusing its entire effort toward attracting new in- dustry; (2) the program is totally separate from any commercial revitalization and development and the staff works solely with industry; (3) in attracting new industry, Plainfield has set its sights on small scale, manufacturing, assembly and warehousing / transport types of industry; and (4) the city has developed a capacity within city hall to deal with the problems that go hand - in - hand with industrial development; economic development coordina- tors work daily with industries in their rezoning ap- plications, building permit requests, and other issues that bring industrial residents in contact with the city.

The Section 8 Loan Management Set - Aside pro- gram in Region IX was initiated in March 1976, and was designed to provide financial assistance to tenants of those projects which were owned or in- sured by HUD, thereby preventing repossession and the subsequent drain on the Department's in- surance fund. From the 274 housing projects in Region IX benefiting from this program, 160 pro- jects were selected and a random sample con- ducted. Data were gathered into a descriptive analysis of Region IX's overall projects and an as- sessment of the program's initial impact was made through a detailed examination of 25 panel pro- jects from 4 of the largest field offices. Some of the findings based on these data include: (1) over half of the panel projects were funded primarily be- cause of financial difficulty, whereas the remaining projects were funded for rent - burden relief; (2) funding has had a significant impact on vacancy rates in that 60 percent of the panel projects re- ported reductions in monthly vacancy rates from those for the year prior to funding; (3) tenant turn- over has declined in two - thirds of the projects; (4) funding has relieved the burden of many tenants who had to allocate most of their income for rent; (5) the impact of funding has not affected the racial, income, or age characteristics of tenants in the program; (6) the role of management in ensur- ing a project's financial viability is as crucial as the subsidy program itself; and (7) funding has im- proved the physical condition of most projects.

This volume records the events leading to the uni- fication of the City of Anchorage and the Greater Anchorage Borough to create the Municipality of Anchorage, and also the work of the Charter Com- mission. The history of Anchorage, Alaska, is de- scribed as the history of a continuing, ever - chang- ing relationship with the Federal bureaucracy, both civilian and military. Anchorage was established by decree in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill authorizing the construction of the Alaska railroad. The early history of the town was that of one construction boom after another, culmi- nating in the World War II military construction boom and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline boom of the 1960's and 1970's. The growth of the City of An- chorage and of the Borough of Anchorage, the noncity area originally settled by construction workers and others who did not want to buy land and pay taxes in the city proper, is traced through the expansion from a tent city in 1 91 5 to a metrop- olis of 185,000 in 1975.

In 1976 - 1977 the Anchorage, Alaska, Urban Ob- servatory studied the feasibility of establishing an Office of Management and Budget as a separate unit of the executive branch of the municipal gov- ernment, as opposed to placing budget functions in a Department of Finance. This three - part pres- entation is the result of that study. It gives a com- prehensive organizational chart for the unified mu- nicipal government, complete with a description of the function of each department and a breakdown of personnel functions within each department. The Management and Budget staff is responsible for preparing the municipal budget, assisting the various departments in formulating goals and ob- jectives for the ensuing year, conducting inhouse management analysis studies, and improving mu- nicipal effectiveness and economy. Existing State and municipal laws allow such a structure. The concept of a separate management and budget office is then traced historically. The impetus for this type of organization began when municipalities so increased in size that per capita expenditures for services began to double, triple, and quadruple over levels common in the 1920's and 1930's. Two separate tables show the different budget orienta- tions which have developed as a result of various reform efforts. The final section reviews methods of increasing productivity in the Anchorage govern- ment to meet the mushrooming demands for mu- nicipal services. This heavily footnoted discussion focuses on the concepts of effectiveness, efficien- cy, and program budgeting.

A survey of an 8 - square - mile target area which includes the west side of Las Vegas, Nev., and a major portion of the city of North Las Vegas finds the area has an alarming default rate. It contains the largest concentration of subsidized housing of any area in Nevada. Even though the economy in Las Vegas is strong, the inventory of HUD - ac- quired, insured, single - family homes and multi- family projects in default is increasing rapidly. This large number of vacant, boarded - up homes in- vites vandalism and has a negative impact on re- maining homeowners. Most of the housing man- agement staff is in Reno, while 91 percent of the property disposition workload is in Clark County. This means that defaulted homes are not sold quickly and often need extensive repairs to make them marketable after they have stood vacant for months. There has been virtually no use of the 518b or 518a programs to help those who acquire the homes to correct construction defects. The study did not interview defaulting homeowners, but persons in the housing industry suggested that lax mortgage credit practices resulted in the approval of buyers not qualified to own homes. In addition, there was a lack of counseling about the true ex- penses of home ownership. The high concentra- tion of subsidized housing in such a small area also created unstable communities. The study recom- mends an immediate moratorium on mortgage in- surance for new construction in the area and inten- sive efforts to sell houses already repossessed.

Findings are presented from a third survey of Com- munity Development Block Grant entitlement cities in Region IX, including program planning and im- plementation, program requirements, citizen parti- ciption, HUD's role, and cities' general attitudes toward the program. Interviews were conducted with elected officials, chief administrative officers, staffs, and citizens of 16 cities participating in the block grant program. Findings set forth include: (1) technical assistance in monitoring and evaluation is needed in cities which do not have enough pro- gram experience or adequate feedback mecha- nisms to assess their programs; (2) technical as- sistance in designing rehabilitation strategies is needed by cities experiencing delays in imple- menting such programs; and (3) cities are con- cerned about potential audits and financial reviews which may result in activities being declared ineligi- ble. It is recommended that: (1) HUD make its final eligibility determinations at the time of program ap- proval rather than after a program year has begun; (2) examples of audit findings be shared with the subject cities as soon as possible after completion of the audit; (3) to defuse conflicts between citi- zens and city councils, HUD should provide cities with prototypes of various successful formats, advice on how successful citizen participation works in those cities which are satisfied with the process, and techniques to be avoided; (4) cities should be encouraged to indicate ways in which their programs are impeded by guidelines or regu- lations and afforded more opportunities to negoti- ate programmatic problems; and (5) HUD should be more responsive to city suggestions for simplifi- cation of the entire block grant process.

Improving the Relocation Function in Region IX Evaluation rept. 262 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT Mar 73, 36p Rept no. HUD-0000558 Keywords: 'Urban relocation, Project manage- ment, Communities, Technical assistance, Serv- ices, Evaluation, Local government. An evaluation is provided of the programmatic and administrative functioning of the resident reloca- tion program in both the Regional and Area Offices for Region IX. The study relied primarily upon inter- views with relocation specialists, program manag- ers, program representatives, the assistant direc- tors for planning and relocation, and other techni- cal personnel who provide support to the reloca- tion functions. In order to insure that fair and equi- table treatment is provided to those displaced by HUD projects, four major programmatic strategies are projected for use by the HUD Area Offices. In the first strategy, involving the provision of techni- cal assistance and guidance to communities in re- location planning, there has been considerable im- provement in both offices, but a need remains for more emphasis on planning for relocation during the development of the application, and for more technical assistance to localities during this stage. The second major strategy, entailing a review of local applications for conformance with relocation requirements, still shows some instances of ap- proval of applications with outstanding relocation concerns, which may be attributable to (e.g., a lack of knowledge of, or priority accorded to) relocation by some program team members and line manag- ers. Implementation of the third major strategy, technical assistance to communities in providing clarification and improvement of the Uniform Relo- cation Act, is proceeding well, with the exception of inadequate backup for the specialist in obtaining timely and adequate information for localities if the problem goes beyond his or her expertise. Finally, in monitoring of localities to insure compliance with the Act, inconsistencies have been found in the monitoring and evaluation approaches, which result in some key elements being overlooked by specialists and in many instances an absence of documentation. In terms of administrative con- cerns, there are two major constraints on the oper- ation of relocation. First, the two Area Offices have different mechanisms for the delivery of relocation services to localities. The location of the special- ists on the program teams enhances the delivery of services and the implementation of the reloca- tion strategies, whereas location of specialists with planning and relocation sectors inhibits it. Howev- er, there presently appears to be no adequate mechanism for the Regional Office to ensure appli- cation of relocation policy, particularly when the specialists are located on the team. Second, the Regional Office has an important role to play in ad- ministering the relocation function so that imple- mentation of the relocation strategies is assured. Yet it is generally agreed that there has been inad- equate policy direction, technical support and training, or monitoring of the Area Offices by the Regional Office. Additional recommendations are included. PB80-13621 1 PC A06/MF A01 Department of Housing and Urban Development, San Francisco, CA. Office of Program Planning and Evaluation.

To evaluate the administration of HUD's multifam- ily subsidized housing programs, data was collect- ed from field observations in Region IX, question- naires were sent to 75 private property manage- ment firms in the region, and interviews were con- ducted with 30 firms active in housing manage- ment. It was found that the present tax incentive provisions, which concentrate benefit during the first 7 to 8 years of the project, lead to owner and manager turnover once these benefits have been exhausted. Also, staffing and promotion patterns in field offices arbitrarily fragment decisionmaking and provide little incentive for HUD personnel to develop project management expertise. These two factors have combined with poor accounting meth- ods, poor inventory controls, and fragmented guidelines to create an inefficient management sit- uation. The management of a project is vital to its success, yet often the terms of the management agreement are developed only after the construc- tion plans are approved. Design and management should be considered together. The fee schedule must reflect the special problems of a subsidized program; for that reason, the fee schedules used by private management firms are not transferable. However, areawide data can be used as a basis for developing a HUD fee schedule. Fees should be based on a "per occupied unit per month" basis, and adequate compensation should be given for the initial rental period. In return, strong manage- ment controls should be demanded, and a com- puterized inventory system should be maintained for all projects in an area. Tables and appendices accompany the text.

Conclusions and recommendations are presented based on a multivariate analysis and selected case studies of financial failure in a sample of 61 8 HUD - assisted multifamily housing projects. The quality of the physical environment and neighborhood safety correlated negatively with failure, especially for limited dividend projects. The effects of other locational characteristics, such as intrametropoli- tan location or competing projects, were either un- detectable or marginally converse to expectations. Among the statistical variables, vandalism and va- cancies were the most signficant factors to emerge; these problems are intensified by the lack of social services and recreation, especially in remote projects. The analysis revealed little or no systematic relationship between financial failure and variables measuring population or dwelling unit density, project scale, and design. Although the case studies did suggest that poorly conceived project designs can exacerbate operational prob- lems, no dominant role can be assigned to such factors. In contrast, however, both the statistical analysis and the case studies indicated that the quality of construction, as opposed to the quality of the design, played a key role in project success, because serious defects that come to light in the first year of operation may put the whole enterprise irrevocably in debt. While no clear relationship was identified between the characteristics of tenants and project failure (with the possible exception of the percentage of elderly residents), ownership and financial characteristics clearly affected proj- ect performance. Too often in the case studies owners and sponsors had only limited involvement with failing projects. Nonprofit owners had essen- tially no equity interest in the enterprise, and in some cases the people in charge, though commit- ted, lacked experience. HUD's apparent underesti- mation of first - year operating costs also worked against success, as did other economic factors, such as inflation's effects on wages and the costs of utilities and taxes. Recommendations for broad policy and specific actions are provided. PB80-136245 PC A04/MF A01 Urban Inst., Washington, DC.

Focusing on St. Joseph County, Ind., from October through December 1976, this report describes community events, activites, and attitudes, that may affect HUD's experimental housing allowance program, or that bear on research issues ad- dressed by the Housing Assistance Supply Experi- ment (HASE). HASE is one element of the experi- mental housing allowance program which investi- gates whether direct financial assistance is a feasi- ble and desirable way of helping low - income fami- lies secure decent housing; and if so, the best terms and methods for administering such assist- ance nationwide. In this report, a brief statistical overview of program operations is noted, stressing efforts to reduce the waiting time between a cli- ent's preliminary application and his enrollment in- terview. Next, the report summarizes important events affecting the program, including the first conviction of a client for fraud; a change in pro- gram standards to require that an applicant's busi- ness assets be counted toward his asset limit; a description of reactions to the program; and an as- sessment of community opinions, confusion, and misinformation about the program. In addition, the report covers events affecting the response of suppliers of housing services to the allowance pro- gram. Some of the circumstances discussed here include the large rate increase requested by the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company, the offer- ing of a new group of houses for urban homestead- ing, and a community conference on housing and neighborhood decay. Finally, depictions of both the troubled neighborhood of South Bend, Ind., and an important local ethnic group, the Belgian - Americans, are included in this study. Tables ac- company the text.

It is the product of a 3 - year research con- tract for the American National Standards Insti- tute's ANSI A1 1 7.1 standard. The study found that disabled people slowly but surely are being guar- anteed their civil rights through legislation and court action.

As part of a project to revise and augment the American National Standards Institute ANSI A1 17.1 standard, this study was conducted to de- termine appropriate building design for people with severe visual impairments. The individuals chosen for the study were adjudged mentally and emotion- ally able to participate; each had shown independ- ence in mobility, at least in his / her environment; and each represented a wide range of sight disabil- ities. The first phase of the study involved an inter- view and a walk along a prescribed route to deter- mine orientation and mobility problems. A design workshop was held to ascertain those areas of the walk requiring further research and to discover possible solutions. Three design issues identified were (1) warnings of imminent danger, (2) doors in public buildings, and (3) standardized direction finding cues. In the second phase, a laboratory ex- periment was constructed to test average pace, stopping distance, and tactile floor cue recogni- tion. In the third phase, a new route was made up using the recommendations formulated from the first two phases of the experiment, including the elimination of potentially hazardous objects in or near a path of travel, tactile signals to warn of up- coming falling hazards, and aids and information helpful in direction finding and orientation. Ques- tions raised by the study suggest that criteria for the design of circulation spaces that can help make the built environment more accessible to the visually impaired should be identified; information for those interested in improving orientation and mobility instruction for the blind should be pro- vided; data necessary in the construction of orien- tation and mobility aids (tactile and audio maps) for the blind should be generated; and the general theory of direction finding and orientation should be expanded.

To promote accessibility and use of buildings by physically handicapped persons and to create a Board of Barrier - Free Design, this paper presents an outline of provisions for a model Uniform Barrier 265 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT - Free Design Act. The board would have the au- thority to develop and revise a Construction Code for Barrier - Free Design, to insure implementation of and compliance with the code, and to periodical- ly investigate the adequacy and impact of code re- quirements and compliance processes. Members of the board, most appointed by the Governor and some ex officio members, should include physical- ly handicapped persons with a demonstrated un- derstanding of barrier - free design, two members from the construction industry, two members who are registered architects, one member who is a building code official, at least one of the physically handicapped members who is 65 years old, and ex officio members from specified State agencies. An outline of bylaws and duties of the board are de- scribed. Powers of the board include conducting research studies for purposes of development, review, and revision of the code; issuing subpoe- nas, holding hearings, and administering oaths to obtain information about the effectiveness of the code; publishing reports and recommending legis- lation; reviewing consideration of waivers on an appeal basis; and levying penalties for noncompli- ance with the code. Such penalties involve fines of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 for each day of noncompliance or up to 30 days imprison- ment. An original draft of a model act developed by law students at Catholic University, Washington, D.C., was subsequently redrafted in 1976 by a pro- fessor at the University. Provisions in this outline which differ from the professor's model are listed. An appendix containing the proposed official draft of the Uniform Barrier - Free Design Act is pro- vided.

Methods of cost allocation for the city of Durham, North Carolina, are discussed in this paper. This city has two interests in developing information for overhead costs incurred in the provision of its mu- nicipal services. First, the city provides services for other units of government and needs accurate cost information in reaching fee - for - service deci- sions. Second, the city provides certain services on a fee basis to citizens (such as water and sewer services), and the pricing of such services requires the inclusion of all costs, both direct and indirect. This project provides Durham with a computer al- gorithm in COBOL based on simultaneous equa- tions which can use updated cost information to maintain the city's cost information on a continuing basis. This model can also be used as the basis for the city's maintaining its approved direct cost plan. The method presented is in compliance with Fed- eral regulations for cost allocation but additionally is a useful management tool for planning and deci- sionmaking. Among the four general models usual- ly used for performing the allocation of indirect costs to revenue and service centers (direct allo- cation, step allocation, double - step allocation, and reciprocal allocation) the last, reciprocal allo- cation, was chosen for its high degree of flexibility. This system of simultaneous equations has the fol- lowing advantages: (1) the results completely and accurately reflect reciprocal costs and resource flows among all designated cost and revenue cen- ters, (2) the impact of any change or combination of changes (real or anticipated) in the original ex- penses or allocation base can be readily traced to all cost centers, (3) the question of whether to maintain a support center in - house or to subcon- tract its activity to an external agent can be ad- dressed by the byproducts of this method, (4) fi- nancial planning and budget simulation models can easily be adapted as the city grows or changes, and (5) no data collection systems are necessary for such a simultaneous equations method beyond those for other methodologies. Tables showing the four cost allocation systems, and the methodology and application of reciprocal allocation measures are provided. Appendices outline the mathematical basis for cost allocation methodology and define the functional and service cost centers.

Findings as of April 1979 are reported for experi- mental programs in the Experimental Housing Al- lowance Program (direct cash payments to low - income families to aid them in obtaining adequate housing) in 12 different housing markets. Findings consistent across sites, particularly those common to the Demand and Supply Experiments, are em- phasized. The following are key findings: (1) less than half of the income - eligible population receive payments, with many eligible nonparticipants being unwilling to make the housing repairs or moves necessary to qualify for payments; (2) a ma- jority of eligible households live in substandard housing; (3) the larger the percentage of house- holds living in substandard housing, the smaller the percentage that will participate in the program in that area; (4) standards and payments affect participation, raising minimum acceptable housing quality standards causes participation to drop sub- stantially, and a substantial increase in payments causes participation to increase modestly; (5) if cash payments are not designated for housing, low - income families tend to allocate only small por- tions of their added income to housing expendi- tures; (6) payments must be tied to housing stand- ards in order to assure that families live in safe, sanitary, structurally sound dwelling units; (7) mo- bility is determined less by payments than by other factors, such as nearness to relatives, friends, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods which are familiar; (8) housing allowances have little effect on housing prices; (9) allowances do not stimulate new construction or major rehabilitation; and (10) the program costs about $1,150 annually per household ($900 in payments and $250 for ad- ministration in 1976 dollars).

HUD-0000768 Keywords: 'Housing studies, Houses, Trailers, Parks, Sites, Market research, Failure, Financial management, Credit, 'Mobile homes, Loans. Reporting on an exploratory study of HUD's partici- pation in the mobile housing field in Region IX, this study was undertaken to determine if HUD has any processing or management problems with the 207 - m (mobile home park) program. It also was de- signed to determine whether a full evaluation of the 207 - m and Title I, Sec. 2 is needed, and if so, what region - wide data system should be used. Since HUD has had two mobile home programs operational since 1969, and since mobile homes appear to be a potential major source of low - cost housing, researchers hoped that this study would produce significant indications for future planning. Information was gathered on HUD insured mobile home projects in California and Arizona, using the On - Line Management Information System as well as file reviews in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Phoenix, and Sacramento Field Of- fices. Field trips and interviews were also conduct- ed. Findings show that HUD Region IX has proc- essed few 207 - m mobile home parks due to seri- ous program restrictions, developer and local au- thority preferences, and overall market and fi- nance limitations. HUD field offices do not have comprehensive data and monitoring systems to aid in processing and managing the 207 - m pro- gram, but that audit activity which has been con- ducted is encouraging. Furthermore, HUD individu- al mobile home insurance has had a low claim rate on low volume in Region IX, and does not seem to fill any void in financing. Status and causal factors of defaults in HUD - insured mobile home parks show that HUD Region IX has a default rate of 16 percent, less than the national default rate. Other findings show that mobile homes are not usually a low - cost housing alternative, that parks and indi- vidual units tend to age together, and that individu- al mobile home coaches tend to be more station- ary in California than in Arizona due primarily to cli- matic and coach - size factors. It is concluded that a full scale evaluation is not needed at this time. The following actions are recommended: (1) the HUD office should work closely with all HUD in- sured mobile home parks; (2) the HUD regional and Field Office Housing Production and Mortgage Credit (HPMC) staff should develop a means to become alerted to upswings in the level of 207 - m activity; and (3) HPMC should consider altering rent - up period calculations to reflect actual market conditions and apply adequate operating deficit requirements where needed and appropri- ate.

Three analyses were conducted: the impact of the individual 'As Is' Pro- gram on localities, consumers, and HUD. A total of 407 files were reviewed in four Region IX (Calif.) offices: the San Francisco and the Los Angeles Area offices and the Sacramento and Santa Ana Insuring Offices. Interior inspections and inter- views with occupants of properties sold under the 'As Is' Program in localities under the jurisdiction of three of the four HUD offices were conducted. An additional 81 exterior inspections of properties were made, and interviews with the local officials responsible for Code Enforcement in 1 1 localities within the jurisdictions of the four HUD field offices were conducted. The 'As Is' Program appeared to be capable of meeting the Department's objective of reducing the inventory of HUD - acquired prop- erties while returning housing to communities which may be made free of major health and safety deficiencies. However, the evaluation also re- vealed a number of exceptions to this general rule. In fact, the absence of serious health and safety conditions in properties appears to be more the result of fortuitous conditions than of program design. To minimize the number of 'As Is' proper- ties which are not subsequently made free of major health and safety deficiencies, the evaluators have developed a series of recommendations designed to strengthen HUD and local management of the program, including amendments to the 'As Is' con- tract, having purchasers acknowledge all contract amendments or addenda, and instructing field office Property Disposition staffs to report all 'As Is' sales to the In the julding or housing depart- ment.

Focusing on a large public housing project of 1 ,110 units in south central Los Angeles, Calif., this report outlines the security planning and analysis techniques developed to prepare a security plan for the project. The social and physical environ- ments of the project were analyzed to determine factors that contribute to the vulnerability of resi- dents either by affecting victimization or their fear of crime, or that cause them to restrict the use of their environment because of their concern about crime. The percentage of crime victims among pre- dominantly black tenants of the project was higher in most categories than the national average. The rate of fear was high, with more than 50 percent of those interviewed anticipating violence in the year ahead as well as responding to their fears by cur- tailing nightly visits to friends or halting evening shopping trips. Security measures for this troubled project will affect site improvements, management changes, organization of residents, and improve- ments in the delivery of social and police services. One of the major recommendations for the project suggests that the project be broken up into clus- ters or mini - neighborhoods to encourage the for- mation of close, supporting relationships that are necessary for a community to resist crime and to control its own membership. It is recommended that these clusters be reinforced architecturally with fences, hedges, and entranceways, and rein- forced socially by organizing residents in each of the clusters. A variety of other improvements and recommendations are included in this report. Tables, graphs, and site plans accompany the text.

This report investigates the nature and extent of displacement, focusing on displacement as a result of neighborhood revitalization and Federal programs. Although it is important to analyze the reasons for household moves, the consequence of demographic factors, and the low supply of availa- ble housing, data are incomplete and often unreli- able. The information that does exist points out several displacement phenomena. First, less than four percent of all household moves were dis- placement moves. Second, displacement as a direct result of government programs represents less than one - fifth of all displacement reported in the Annual Housing Survey. Third, housing aban- donment and disinvestment account for a signifi- cantly greater proportion of displacement than that occasioned by neighborhood reinvestment. Fourth, population and economic trends repre- sented by revitalization in urban areas are far too small to slow down or to reverse the movement to the suburbs and the loss of economic activity by central cities. Studies of revitalizing areas, though failing to provide national estimates of revitaliza- tion or displacement, afford some insight into char- acteristics of "in - movers" (who tend to be young white professionals, single or with small families, and with sufficient income to overcome neighbor- hood deficiencies in schools and services) and "out - movers" (who tend to be elderly or minority owners and renters). Displacement caused by Federal actions covered by the Uniform Reloca- tion Act appears to be small relative to displace- ment occurring for other reasons, and HUD has developed policies and administrative procedures to ensure that some form of assistance is provided to persons displaced as a result of HUD programs. These policies are discussed as well as the issue of "secondary" displacement associated with Fed- eral or Federally - assisted programs or activities.

Results of a nationwide evaluation of the Lower Income Housing Assistance Program (Section 8) for existing housing are reported. Data collection and initial analysis were performed by three con- tractors, with 25 percent of the data collected being responses to a uniform set of questions on key topics. The contractors collected data from a specified number of the Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and from HUD Area Office records. Inter- views were conducted with staff members of Area Offices and PHAs and with 1,600 households and 700 landlords. Data collection and analysis fo- cused on the pattern of participation by house- holds with different income levels and demograph- ic characteristics, the willingness of landlords to rent to subsidized tenants, and a PHA's ability to choose the best ways of performing program ad- ministration. The housing participation study deter- mined that recipients are representative of the eli- gible population, although a disproportionate share of elderly women participated. Half of the recipient households had members who were elderly, handicapped, or disabled, and over three - fourths of the households were headed by women. Partici- pating landlords reported making improvements on their units to qualify for the subsidy. All of those involved at the local level expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the program administration.

This report on home improvement financing brings together a wide range of information on how homeowners acquire funds to repair and renovate their homes. A major topic addressed is how HUD's Title I Property Improvement Loan Program fits into the overall home improvement financing complex. The report information was gathered in a field study of five localities, including Kansas City, Kans. / Mo., Reading, Pa., Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minn., Louisville, Ky., and Newburgh, N.Y., during which informal discussions were held with lenders, contractors, building material suppliers, and public officials. A series of 18 panel discussions in eight metropolitan areas also were held, additional data were collected from a number of public and private sources concerning types and reasons for home improvements, difficulties encountered in obtain- ing financing, attitudes of lending institutions toward home improvement loans, the role of insur- ance in lending, and Title I experiences. Data anal- ysis indicated that homeowners are stimulated to make improvements out of pride of ownership and perception of neighborhood quality. Homeowners are likely to make small improvements them- selves, but will hire a professional and finance the activity with installment loans, revolving charge ac- counts and credit cards, 30 - to - 45 - day billing, and secured loans if the job is major. The Title I Property Improvement Loan Program is playing a decreasing role in insuring home improvement loans, as a result of long - term financial and market trends. Programs which use Title I as part of an assistance program for low - income home- owners can be classified as home improvement loans using State - issued bonds, interest subsidy programs, grant programs, and technical assist- ance and referral services. Recommendations are made including the suggestion that an information- al program to acquaint lenders with the elements and benefits of the Title I program be established.

Keywords: "Investments, 'Finance, Economic sur- veys, Credit, Publicity, Sites, Banking business, "Mortgages, Loans. To combat housing discrimination, this guidebook explains how to collect data resulting from the en- actment of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The HMDA requires federally supervised lending institutions to annually publicize the pre- cise number of mortgage loans they have made, the amount of each of the loans, and the location of the properties receiving the loans. From these facts, community groups and local governments can determine whether or not mortgage credit has been withheld from certain neighborhoods and can analyze local housing markets. The guidebook will be helpful in negotiating new programs with lend- ers, challenging lender applications for regulatory approval, and monitoring the progress of reinvest- ment programs. In addition to HMDA, a number of State and local statutes require the reporting of lender activity. Information from these combined sources is termed 'disclosure data.' Key provisions of HMDA and application of HMDA data are ex- plained, and five examples of applications are in- cluded with one or more case studies as illustra- tions. The disclosure data application examples cover analyzing local housing markets (case stud- ies in eight cities, disinvestment in northwest Phila- delphia, and the Baltimore mortgage market study), negotiating with lenders (Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition), challenging lender applications for regulatory approval (the Ev- anston Housing Coalition (Illinois), and Missouri's association of community organizations for reform), creating reinvestment programs (South Shore, Chicago, III., and the District of Columbia Neighborhood Reinvestment Commission), and monitoring reinvestment programs (Baltimore Citi- zen's Planning and Housing Association, Institute of the Study of Civic Values, and Citizens for Com- munity Improvement).

The longrun income elasticity of housing expendi- tures for owners and renters is estimated using cross - sectional data from the two HUD Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) sites - Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind. Because intersite differences are not statistically significant, results are averaged across sites. As differences by tenure are significant, both the owner estimate and the renter estimate are report- ed; however, an assessment of possible biases in each suggests that the tenure difference is prob- ably slightly overstated. Income elasticities esti- mated with permanent income for households that remained in their housing units for three surveys are computed as are income elasticities estimated with varying incomes (linear, spline, and log - expo- nential models are used). The evidence is consist- ent with either constant or slightly increasing elas- ticity with income. Since an interest in low - income households implies an interest in those headed by elderly persons or single parents, and those com- posed of young couples with young children, re- sults refer to these household types. Although sizes are insufficient for conclusive inferences, some samples indicate that elderly and single - parent households spend more on housing than others but increase their expenditures at a lower rate as incomes rise. Most importantly, the study found that income elasticity of housing expendi- tures in the HASE sites is very low, both absolutely and relative to conventional wisdom and recently published estimates. If these findings are valid, then pure income transfers would not greatly affect the recipients' housing expenditures.

The paper begins with a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of households that stayed, households that moved, and households that replaced the vacating households in urban homesteading neighborhoods. It then presents a series of logistics (LOGIT) analyses that relate the decision to move or stay to the characteristics of the household, the dwelling, and the neighbor- hood. Two basic LOGIT models are derived: one for owners and one for renters. The sample of rent- ers are stratified by income and age, and separate LOGIT models are estimated for each of the result- ing subsamples. This type of analysis, employing the same independent variables that were includ- ed in the unstratified equations, enables the study to focus on the most likely victims of displacement - the elderly and the poor. Findings indicate that although homeowners are unlikely to suffer from displacement, low - income renters do as evi- denced by the significant number of these renters who are moving out of the central city as compared to other renters. As with homeowners, renters who move tend to be replaced by families with incomes lower than their own. In addition, elderly and poor homeowners, who are most susceptible to dis- placement, are the least likely to move. Because of the difficulty of locating households who have moved, further research is needed to determine whether they have been displaced or are moving for other reasons. Methodology and mobility rates in urban homesteading neighborhoods (1977 - 1978) are appended. Supporting tabular data, ref- erences, and footnotes are also provided.

To aid in finding possible solutions to the problem of lead paint poisoning among young children, HUD implemented the Experimental Hazard Elimi- nation Program (EHEP) to demonstrate the con- ventional materials for abating lead paint hazards. This report describes Phase II of EHEP in Boston, Mass., involving the abatement of lead paint haz- ards in 72 dwelling units under 24 contracts and subcontracts. Phase I, consisting of two of the three demonstrations, took place in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, Ga. After reviewing Phase I plans, HUD eliminated requirements of specific ages and types of dwelling units from the dwelling unit sampling plan and added a requirement for the use of occupied as well as unoccupied dwelling units. The methods of screening and selecting dwelling units also were changed. Boeing Aero- space Company was responsible for the lead paint detection survey inspection, selection of candidate dwelling units (multifamily, low - rise, HUD - ac- quired properties), assignment of abatement tech- niques, and carrying out the lead hazard abate- ment operation. Six wall covering materials and four paint removal techniques, demonstrated in this operation, are described. Although all abate- ment techniques used were acceptable for the housing in Boston, some of the methods were not suitable for all of the substrate conditions found in housing units. For instance, only rigid board mate- rials (gypsum wall board, prefinished plywood) are suitable for both sound and unsound substrates. Further analyses of these data are provided to assist HUD, local authorities, and private home- owners in determining the most advantageous ap- proach to eliminating lead paint hazards. Technical material specifications and the implementation characteristic rating sheet are appended. Support- ing tabular data, charts, and definitions of terms are provided.

In support of the Urban Initiatives Program, HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research con- ducted this policy study in 1 978 to probe the extent and nature of problems affecting public housing. Its purpose was to identify the number of projects with critical problems, the kinds of projects that were troubled, and the types of problems these projects face. Data were obtained from a stratified national probability sample of public housing pro- jects; staff analysts interviewed numerous authori- ties of the public housing program and visited and inspected a subsample of projects. Two ap- proaches were used to define a 'troubled' project: numerical - objective (the extent of trouble de- pends on the number of severe problems that the project faces) and case - study particular (for each project, the specific kinds and mix of problems de- termine whether it is troubled). An estimate of the number of troubled public housing projects ranges from 4 to 7 percent of the total inventory depend- ing on which measurement approach or combina- tion of approaches is used. Troubled projects in- clude a disproportionately large share of all family projects located in urban areas (43 percent of all projects, 75 percent of troubled projects); they have more than 200 units (14 percent of all pro- jects, 43 percent of troubled projects); or they were initially occupied more than 20 years ago (33 per- cent of all projects, 43 percent of troubled pro- 268 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT jects). In addition, public housing projects face fi- nancial, physical, managerial, and social problems. The views of interviewed authorities representing Public Housing Authority (PHA) executives, man- agers, and tenants, as well as legal services attor- neys, public officials, housing professionals, aca- demic experts, and HUD managers are presented. Solutions are explored, although some of the prob- lems appear to be beyond the direct control of either HUD or individual PHA's.

Guidance is given for using effectively such hous- ing project site elements as shrubs, trees, bushes, ground covers, walls, fences, slopes and beams, and manufactured items to provide a secure envi- ronment for residents. The site security analysis, for which this manual is a reference volume, ana- lyzes the site to determine the extent to which it oossesses characteristics generally associated with crime and the fear of crime. The analysis also examines the site to determine if it inhibits the de- velopment of supportive relationships among resi- dents. To measure these factors, the site is exam- ined according to the following criteria: (1) unas- signed open spaces, which individuals or groups of residents have not claimed for their own use so that the spaces become vulnerable to misuse; (2) penetrability, which refers to how access to the site is structured and controlled; (3) ease of sur- veillance, which provides numerous opportunities for casual and formal surveillance of activities and space; (4) design conflicts, which occur when two incompatible areas of activity are located next to one another; and (5) encouragement of territoria- lity, which stimulates residents to take control of their immediate environment. Housing sites in more than 10 cities throughout the United States are analyzed according to these criteria. Appendi- ces examine design considerations and plant har- diness zones.

For groups involved in welfare reform of housing programs from a budgetary or recipient perspec- tive, this report assesses the economic impact of selected welfare reform options on families receiv- ing HUD housing assistance. To successfully ana- lyze welfare reform, the report examines operation of existing welfare programs and discusses exist- ing benefit schedules, with special emphasis on the interactions among the benefits of different programs (i.e., Aid to Families with Dependent Children, housing assistance programs, Food Stamps, and Medicaid). Two types of assistance are distinguished: cash assistance, the transfer of dollars that recipient households can spend as they wish; and in - kind assistance, the allowance by dispersing authority for recipient households to purchase specified goods at below - market prices. Existing analyses of recipient benefits from assist- ance programs that estimate the amount of cash recipients must receive to leave the in - kind pro- gram voluntarily are surveyed. A general theory of how multiple in - kind assistance programs affect household consumption patterns and real income also is presented. It addresses the transfer of goods at below - market prices, with and without quantity restrictions. The methodology for estimat- ing transfer relies on information from consumer demand, program benefit schedules, and the actual amount of in - kind assistance received by households. This methodology is applied to an evaluation of in - kind assistance received by sam- ples of low - income households in New York City, Michigan, and Brown County, Wis. The consumer - demand equations used in the evaluation are esti- mated with data from the 1972 - 73 Consumer Ex- penditure Survey. Policy options for cashing out food stamps and for interfacing housing assist- ance programs with cash assistance are de- scribed, with particular attention to the housing consumption of poor households, their incentives to participate in housing programs, and their real incomes. Appendices contain the labor supply re- sponse to in - kind programs, the resale of in - kind benefits, full regression results, and the method- ology for estimating discount rates.

The report is concerned primarily with computer- ized run-cutting. Run-cutting in the bus industry deals with the problem of assigning operators or drivers to work the vehicle schedules. The objec- tive of run-cutting is to create cost effective bus driver assignments, known as runs or duties, to work or cover a predefined schedule of bus serv- ice. This report deals specifically with run-cutting in the bus industry, and it builds on and synthesizes experiences already gained in this field. Driver duties vary in type. One characteristic which de- fines a duty-type is the time of day it begins and completes it assigned work. Basic methodology is outlined in the report, and the results from experi- ments are collated and reported when the method- ology was applied to three real-life data sets ac- quired from three different bus properties. The goal of this study is to provide added insight into the methods of using computer based algorithms to solve the original problem, which is the creation and selection of duties to cover the full day sched- ule of bus service.

This is the first of the two volumes that comprise the Final Report of the entire study. This volume was designed with the first audience in mind; it is a comprehensive, comparative evaluation of the costs of alternative service arrangements.

The research evaluates the safety needs on low- volume rural roads. Based on a series of functional analyses relating safety performance to specific design and operational elements, a set of revised guidelines was developed. The revised guidelines apply to total roadway width, horizontal curvature, roadside design, speed signs, curve warning signs, centerline markings, and no-passing stripes. These guidelines are proposed to supplement the existing national policies, with each revised guide- line either replacing or clarifying the existing na- tional guideline. The widespread application of the revised guidelines should provide for more consist- ent design and traffic control of low-volume rural roads consonant with a rational balance between highway investment, highway safety, and traffic service.

On November 26-29, 1979, the National Bureau of Standards hosted a Conference on Fire Safety for the Handicapped where 80 experts discussed the problems of the handicapped in fire emergencies, safety procedures, and hardware that upgrades their safety. The major work of the Conference was conducted by seven panels that met in paral- lel: overview, alarm systems, refuge, egress, self- protection, management actions, and emergency service actions. Six workshops were held in prepa- ration for the Conference during August and Sep- tember 1979 in the area of life safety for the handi- capped in emergencies. The workshops were: codes and standards, emergency preparedness planning, building design, education, consumer in- terests, and products. Each of the 13 panels and workshops prepared a report containing back- ground information and the recommendations of the panels. This document contains the 13 reports, the speeches at plenary sessions and supplemen- tary comments by some of the participants.

The Performance Evaluation Model, known as PEM, is a set of computer programs for manipulat- ing, displaying and analyzing time-series, cross- section, or pooled data and was designed to facili- tate the application of ratio-analysis and multiple regression techniques to the financial and operat- ing data of electric and gas utilities. It can be used by utility commissions and managers to identify po- tential areas for improving utility efficiency. PEM can also assist utilities and regulatory commis- sions in surveillance and in making financial and operating projections. The model was developed as part of an Experimental Technology Incentives Program (ETIP) project involving other analytic and management tools designed to improve and accel- erate rate case decisions as an incentive to tech- nological innovation. The other tools, described in published reports, deal with automatic and discre- tionary adjustment, productivity, rate structure, future test year, long range planning and regula- tory lag in general.

Urban rehabilitation is a major market for wood flooring, but if it is to continue to be used to any great extent in urban rehabilitation, it must be made more acceptable to the building contractor and housing owner. Changes in distribution, supply, and pricing could make wood flooring more readily available; product modification could reduce its short-term costs; and other changes could make wood flooring more economical and compatible with present working methods.

The report discusses the impacts and effects of Public Law 95-557 on FmHA and the rural poor served by the Agency's 502 rural housing program. Public Law 95-557 authorized FmHA to grant deeper housing subsidy to low-income recipients of a 502 rural housing loan. The law mandated that any subsidy granted to a 502 rural housing recipi- ent must be secured by a lien against the property. The report analyzes these authorities' costs and benefits which may be realized in the implementa- tion of the program. It identifies options available to the agency and relates each option to cost, main purpose, distributive efforts and environmen- tal impacts. The report concludes with recommen- dations to the Agency in the implementation of the Law and suggests that FmHA needs to request fur- ther legislative action in order to make the recap- ture provisions compatible with other existing housing authorities.

The report discusses the background and issues related to the control of air pollutants emitted by a large coal-burning plant in eastern Ohio. The plant not only has had a history of severely exceeding Ohio's State Implementation Plan (SIP) particulate emission limit, but also its S02 emissions have ex- ceeded the limit of Ohio's forthcoming SIP. An im- portant issue is the extent to which compliance with the SIP will promote the plant's switching from Ohio coals to Southern Appalachian coals (which produce fewer particulate and S02 emissions) and the consequent disruption to Ohio's coal mining in- dustry. Addressing this issue, the report examines the plant's historical coal usage, the production and characteristics of Ohio and Southern Appala- chian coals, the relevance of coal-sulfur variability, and the feasibility and implications of producing and burning cleaned Ohio coals as a strategy for complying with Ohio's SIP. The report discusses factors that will affect the relative economics of burning cleaned Ohio coals at the plant. The report indicates that, by burning cleaned Ohio coals, the plant's largest and newest units (constituting 60% of the plant's total capacity) can increase their consumption of Ohio coal by 50-100%, depending on the characteristics of the coals and the cleaning processes used.

Using CORSIM, a variant of the TASSIM land-use transportation model, this analysis exam- ines the benefits and costs of implementing alter- native combinations of TSM techniques and transit improvement policies. Of the composite policies tested, expressway ramp metering with an average delay of nine minutes, assuming an improved bus transit system charges $0.7 per mile, is the most feasible cost-effective option.

The study considers the research necessary to assess whether past economic analyses have ac- curately represented the constraints imposed on economic growth by natural resources. Concurrent activities are reported. The first deals with re- search directed toward analyzing issues associat- ed with the importance of natural and environmen- tal resources in economic activity and some relat- ed technical modeling issues. Another thrust relat- ed to the selection of an advisory committee and its active participation in advising project investiga- tors. During the course of the investigation, a more general definition of the set of natural resources was adopted. This expanded the project's per- spective and called for a multidisciplinary effort. Broad concerns are identified which underlie spe- cific research topics for further inquiry. One analyt- ical section considers research elements and de- velops issues. The final chapter presents implica- tions of the studies for some general approaches to addressing problems for future research.

Research papers presented at a conference on the implications of potential resource and environ- mental constraints for economic growth constitute this report. The first paper briefly reviews the state of economic theory with respect to optimal growth, optimal extractive resource exploitation, and opti- mal pollution, focusing on the literature that ac- commodates combinations of these features. Pro- totypical dynamic economic models are described in each of these areas. Optimal aggregative plan- ning in the presence of both exhaustible extractive resources and common property environmental re- sources is outlined. A second paper reports the findings of an evaluation of the neoclassical meth- odology for measuring the degree of substitution between factor inputs. The primary focus is on the role of natural resources in a specific technology: iron and steel production. A third paper examines whether and how the quantity of new materials inputs may be measured at the plant, firm, industry, and economic levels. The final paper is about de- veloping research strategies to identify and quanti- fy the relationships between residuals, discharges, and health effects to gain a better understanding of their nature and magnitude. Also studied was how they have changed over time as the economy adjusts to changing patterns of resource availabil- ity and use.

The appendix consists of research papers pre- sented at a conference on the implications of po- tential resource and environmental constraints for economic growth. The first paper considers the problem of how to achieve an efficient bundle of public goods, described as to qualities and quanti- ties, when preferences are unknown and must be elicited by the choice mechanism. Two mecha- nisms with different emphases and underlying as- sumptions are defined to solve the problem. These are presented in separate, self-contained papers whose results are compared. Other papers con- cern the economic issues associated with the use of free access or common property goods such as air, oceans, fisheries, etc.; measures of natural re- source scarcity under uncertainty; and the assess- ment of long-term supplies of minerals.

The Northern Mariana Islands Government is the first government to be established from the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Despite the rela- tively large amount and variety of Federal funds the Islands receive, its government has an operat- ing deficit which could lead to a fiscal crisis if seri- ous financial problems are not corrected. A major cause of these problems is the lack of qualified personnel to supervise and carry out necessary accounting functions. The Congress should make sure that the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as other new governments to emerge from the Trust Territory, receive sufficient technical assistance to help them manage their Federal funds.

The Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment administers a low-interest college housing loan program which was resumed in 1977 at con- gressional direction to relieve localized shortages of student housing and renovate buildings for energy conservation. HUD's funding decisions for construction loans are based on a mechanical for- mula, and the information used in this formula is inadequate to insure that only essential projects are funded. Long delays in the final approval of loan agreements for successful applicants have resulted in cost increases and lost energy savings.

In the paper, an analysis is made of output, income, and employment in the Massachusetts and New England economies and of the ways in which these indices of economic activity respond to changes in economic conditions, with emphasis being given to the projection and analysis of em- ployment impacts. First, some of the advantages and disadvantages of econometric and input- output techniques for state planning are discussed to show why a multiregional input-output (MRIO) approach was used for this study. Second, a gen- eral description of the MRIO model and an inter- pretation of the multipliers within the MRIO frame- work are presented. Finally, an evalation of em- ployment projections for the state of Massachu- setts is summarized, and specific output, income, and employment impacts on Massachusetts and New England are examined in detail.

A new type of matrix signal is being considered to improve the effectiveness of the motorway signall- ing system. In addition to the advice given by the present signal, it would inform drivers of the nature and location of hazards. A prototype three-part signal has been built to display this information, and a number of pictograms have been designed for indicating the nature of the hazard. Measure- ments were made of the recognition distance of the three parts of the signal. The effect of a normal accumulation of road dirt on matrix signal recogni- tion was assessed at the same time. The picto- grams were tested to find out how effective they were in conveying the desired meaning to drivers who had not seen them before. (Copyright (c) Crown Copyright 1979.)

The author visited Japan in September 1978 to collect information on the licensing and training of motorcycle riders. Visits were paid to several mo- torcycle training schools to see at first hand the facilities available and the techniques of instruction used. The training in Japan was found to be strictly controlled, of a high standard and uses a consider- able part of the road safety budget. While no na- tional evidence was found which indicated that training by itself was effective in reducing acci- dents some evidence indicated that training was an effective measure and the consensus of opin- ion in Japan is that training is an essential part of a road safety program.

Many rural American families still live in substan- dard conditions, although progress has been made over the last 30 years in alleviating housing short- ages and improving conditions. Rural housing problems today are most acute in remote areas, among the elderly, and among those who rent. Rural areas receive only about 20 percent of the Federal housing support available despite having one-third of the Nation's population and one-half of the substandard housing. Urban areas have benefited more. Future progress depends on in- creasing the supply of mortgage credit, providing greater homeownership opportunities for moder- ate-income families, targeting more Federal hous- ing funds to the neediest areas, and emphasizing programs to upgrade existing housing and develop new sites.

A Demoeconomic Model of Interregional Growth Rate Differences Final rept. Jacques Ledent, and Peter Gordon. Oct 78, 31 p Rept no. RM-78-52 Keywords: 'Economic development, 'Demogra- phy, 'Economic models, Regions, Population growth, Demographic surveys, Migration, Income, Economic factors, 'Foreign technology, 'Regional development. Consistent demoeconomic modeling of multire- gional systems is an important component of de- mometrics. It requires the determination of labor force participation, migration and unemployment rates simultaneously and endogenously in the model. The paper presents an important contribu- tion to regional modeling. The authors elaborate on a recently published model of interregional growth and show how the demometric approach alleviates several problems inherent in conven- tional modeling.

How Revenue Sharing Formulas Distribute Aid: Urban-Rural Implications Report to the Congress. 22 Apr 80, 73p Rept no. PAD-80-23 Keywords: 'Federal assistance programs, 'Local government, Urban areas, Rural areas, Capacity, Financial management, Taxes, State government, 'Revenue sharing. Several formulas distribute revenue sharing aid. Rural areas generally receive larger per capita grants than urban areas. This raises an apparent question of whether equity is achieved in the reve- nue sharing program. Resolving this equity issue requires a 'need' criterion which applies to both urban and rural areas. GAO made a case study of 57 county governments in New York State to ex- amine the geographic distribution of 'need' based on three generally accepted criteria: fiscal capac- ity, fiscal effort, and fiscal pressure. The study shows that rural county governments received larger per capita revenue aid because they tended to have lower fiscal capacities and higher fiscal effort as measured by the revenue sharing formu- la. The study also examines what would happen to urban and rural areas if changes were made in the measurement of fiscal effort. PB80-169337 PC A13/MF A01 Multisystems, Inc., Cambridge, MA.

The Knoxville Tennessee Transportation Broker- age Demonstration was conducted from October 1975 through December 1978. In this first metro- politan, multi-modal implementation of the broker- age concept, an organization known as the Knox- ville Commuter Pool (KCP) attempted to identify and match transportation demand and supply across a variety of users and providers, and to effect legal and regulatory reforms conducive to the improvement of transportation services. Prima- ry emphasis during the demonstration was on serving the commuters and social service agen- cies. A major aspect of KCPs commuter-oriented activities was the large scale surveying of employ- ees at their worksites and their subsequent com- puter matching with buses and with other commut- ers having similar travel patterns. KCP purchased 51 vans and leased them to individual commuters as part of an operational vanpool program de- signed to encourage the growth of a large private vanpool fleet. Implementation of the vanpool pro- gram and its resulting impact on state regulatory law and vanpool insurance is discussed, as well as the resulting changes in Tennessee laws affecting other public transportation modes as well.

Basically, this book is designed for use by decision-makers and practitioners in the land use and development fields, by those in both the public and private sectors who are responsible for planning and implementing JD projects. Through case studies, this report reviews the plan- ning and deal-making involved in the execution of seven major projects in five cities in the United States and Canada (Boston, Philadelphia, Wash- ington D.C., Montreal, and Toronto). The case studies include reactions from developers and transit authorities and recommendations on im- provements to the JD process from transit plan- ning and physical design stages through construc- tion to the operation of the projects.

Nov 73, 30p HUD-0000120 Prepared in cooperation with Real Estate Re- search Corp., Chicago, IL., and MATCH Institution, Washington, DC. Keywords: 'Community development, 'Economic forecasting, Urban development, Risk, Invest- ments, Population growth, Income, Taxes, Market research, Economic models, 'New communities. This report outlines the Advanced New Community Simulation System (NUCOMS) developed to help HUD make financial evaluations of proposed new communities. It contains accounts of the various analytical models that compose Advanced NUCOMS as well as a list of reports that describes them in greater detail, and an overview of the system. HUD is authorized to guarantee loans to public or private developers of communities that satisfy specific criteria listed in the report. With Ad- vanced NUCOMS, HUD can determine how good a risk the community should be. This is done by analyzing and forecasting the population growth and distribution, income distribution, taxes, and demand and provision for goods and services in the larger and local communities in which the pro- posed community will be developed, then applying this information to the plans and expectations for the proposed community. Forecasting models in- clude the regional (for a large metropolitan area), the sector (for a county or smaller area), and the community (for the local community). How much of a market the new community may capture is calcu- lated through a market model which then is trans- lated into costs and revenues with financial models. Some of the preceding models are com- posed of smaller models, such as the industrial and residential demand models within the commu- nity model; all are listed and described briefly. Fi- nally, procedures are discussed for making the models work together. Illustrations and definitions of important terms are provided.

Sep 76, 127p HUD-0000171 Keywords: 'Videotapes, 'Communicating, 'Local government, Municipalities, Counties, Land use, Policies, Government employees, Instructional materials. This report evaluates a HUD project conducted by the Metropolitan Regional Council of New York which examined the potential uses of video by city and county governments. A sample program was video taped concerning urban land use and man- agement. Video cassettes of the program and the necessary viewing equipment then were given to local government officials and employees for view- ing at their convenience over a 4 - week period. The governments selected were Westport and Norwalk, Conn., Ramapo, N.Y., and Somerset County, N.J. Viewers were provided with instruc- tions on equipment use and with listening guides and asked to complete questionnaires concerning their reactions to the video tape. Analysis of these questionnaires and additional comments indicated interest in the use of video as a method of obtain- ing information, and as a means for education and training, preferably self - instructional. Potential users of video materials could include elected offi- cials, members of boards and commissions, pro- fessionals, administrators, and clerical and techni- cal personnel. Participants showed the most inter- est in the following topics for future video tapes: training personnel, proceedings of professional meetings and conferences, programs and activi- ties in other local governments, Federal and State programs, and Congressional and State legislative activity. As a preliminary step in long - range plan- ning the report suggested that a market survey be conducted to assess current use of video, topics for programs, and costs. The following categories were recommended for additional study: a guide- book containing general information on video, services offered to local governments on video equipment and programing, production of cassette programs on policy and management problems and local government issues. The appendices contain a detailed description of the design and conduct of the project, the listening guide for the test program, a sample questionnaire, summary of survey results, and copies of participants' com- ments and completed questionnaires.

The National Center for Housing Management (NCHM) in 1 974 began performing four tasks of a 9 - month contract with HUD, the fourth of which is reported on here. This task was to develop a hous- ing management information center to collect, 308 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT evaluate, process, store, and disseminate informa- tion in a format appropriate to reach broad and se- lected segments of interest in the housing man- agement field. The task required subtasks to design and implement the data sampling tech- nique, design and field test the data collection device, provide information support to center pro- grams and operations, and perfect the design of the full - scale housing management technical in- formation center. The Center surveyed 12,457 in- dividuals and agencies who represented housing management target groups, including State hous- ing development and finance agency officials, resi- dent and property managers and their supervisors, officials of housing trade associations, manage- ment companies, and large local housing authori- ties, and HUD field office representatives; it also further developed the existing NCHM information collection of housing management and related ma- terials. The Housing Management Technical Infor- mation Center Model, the main product of the task, has several components: system design, organiza- tion and staffing, acquisitions strategy, information processing procedures, information storage and retrieval, information services and products, evalu- ation of services and products, and budget consid- erations. Each of these components is discussed in detail in this report, along with information on relevant survey findings and the NCHM system op- eration experience, and a recommended design for each component. Recommendations for imple- mentation complete the report. The survey instru- ment is included. PB80-171481 PC A07/MF A01 Department of Housing and Urban Development, Washington, DC.

The purpose of this report is to describe the nine Operation Breakthrough prototype sites and detail how they were built. Operation Breakthrough is the first large - scale systematic housing demonstra- tion program in the United States featuring the public demonstration of innovative house designs and site plans. HUD chose the nine sites from among many nominated by local and State govern- ments to represent a variety of market conditions. Urban, peripheral, suburban, and semirural neigh- borhoods are the settings for the nearly 3,000 housing units built between 1971 and 1973. Eight prototype site developers were responsible for a wide range of tasks, from land acquisition to mar- keting. The nine sites selected for project imple- mentation include Kalamazoo, Mich., Macon, Ga., St. Louis, Mo., Sacramento, Calif., King County and Seattle, Wash., Memphis, Tenn., Indianapolis, Ind., and Jersey City, N.J. Information provided on each site includes site location, site developer, site planner, housing system producer, total number of housing units, land acquisition, financing, site prep- aration, community relations, housing erection, and marketing.

Fire endurance testing of wall as- semblies was conducted in accordance with sec- tions 10 through 14 of the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard E 1 1 9. The proce- dure consists of mounting a typical wall assembly in the test frame of the furnace, applying an appro- priate load, and raising the temperature of the ex- posed side in accordance with the standard time - temperature curve. Exterior wall assemblies, inter- module double wall assemblies, and interior single wall assemblies were tested. Similar tests were performed on roof / ceiling assemblies, floor / ceil- ing assemblies, and floor assemblies. Other fire endurance tests included testing of a mechanical / electrical core assembly and a steel tubular column protected with gypsum board. Surface burning characteristics were evaluated through tunnel tests, radiant panel tests, and pill tests. Fire resistance of wall and ceiling coverings, floor co- verings, and kitchen cabinets was also deter- mined. Test results for specific materials and tech- niques are presented in tables; diagrams are used extensively throughout the text.

This report is a compendium of the testing program performed on housing built by Operation Break- through (OB), HUD's program to promote housing construction and improve the housing industry. An important feature of OB was its requirement that all materials and methods be tested against perform- ance standards, to encourage the use of new methods and materials. Guidelines for perform- ance testing included adherence to established building codes, development of criteria not treated by the codes, and standards of performance which did not specify materials, if possible. The tests were to determine the properties of new materials and measure performance of systems and materi- als within a dwelling. Completed dwellings were also evaluated, and tests were used to establish or determine compliance with criteria. Systems rang- ing from plumbing and appliances to walls, doors, and windows were evaluated, with tests falling into three categories: fire safety; structural behavior; and miscellaneous areas, including acoustics, plumbing, electrical systems, projectile impact on roofs or siding, paint durability, and the thermal performance of a wood - frame townhouse. Fire safety tests covering fire endurance, spread of flames, and smoke generation are noted. Structur- al tests consisted of both exploratory tests not per- taining to any particular OB housing system and tests related to specific OB systems intended to study properties of materials, construction details, assemblies, and large units.

Begun in 1969 in response to a na- 309 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT tionwide housing shortage, OB seeks to enlarge housing - building capacity by modernizing the housing industry through advanced technology, by promoting an aggregate housing market, and by reducing constraints to improvements in areas from financing to land use, and by promoting uni- fied housing markets. Of the 236 site plans submit- ted to OB, nine were chosen to be built by OB, four inner city and five suburban. Inner - city sites in Jersey City, N.J., Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., and Seattle, Wash., contain a variety of housing for moderate - income families, from attached town- houses to high - rise apartments. All were de- signed to help relieve urban crowding and ranged in size from 58 units on 1.8 acres to 518 units on 16 acres. Suburban sites in Kalamazoo, Mich., King County, Wash., Macon, Ga., Sacramento, Calif., and Indianapolis, Ind., were of lower density, with 178 to 407 units on 36 to 50 acres, including high - rises and detached, single - family homes. These housing developments were designed to minimize ecological disruption and harmonize with the surrounding community.

Visits to HUD - assisted and HUD - insured housing projects and to a HUD - insured mobile home park were conducted for the purpose of examining the existing level of gas sa'ety and the degree of com- pliance with Federal gas safety regulations in these projects. In addition, the visits involved as- sessing the needs and level of competence of the gas safety handbook's ultimate users, so that handbook style, format, and contents might be ad- justed to facilitate mo-e effective use. The follow- ing conclusions and recommendations were devel- oped from the site visits: (1) the extent of compli- ance with the Office of Pipeline Safety regulations by local housing operators varies across the coun- try and is largely influenced by the intensity of en- forcement exercised by appropriate local and re- gional authorities; (2) requirements on corrosion protection appeared to be greater than compliance with requirements for reporting annual leak sum- maries, conducting leak surveys, and the prepara- tion of written operations, maintenance, and emer- gency plans; (3) a gas safety handbook is needed for housing project operators, maintenance staff, and designers; (4) HUD area engineers should stress to local housing operators the importance of compliance with gas safety requirements; and (5) revisions of minimum property standards should be made so designers might be encouraged to in- corporate gas safety considerations into new con- struction.

Availability and affordability of essential property insurance in four cities under Fair Access to Insur- ance Requirements (FAIR plans), and through the residual risk market, were examined. The HUD - sponsored study was mandated by Congress be- cause of reports that FAIR plans had increased in- surance costs and thereby prevented low - income property owners from obtaining adequate cover- age. These reports had caused Congress to hold in abeyance the 1 977 Holtzman Amendment to the Urban Property Protection and Reinsurance Act of 1968. Cities surveyed in the present study included New York, Miami, Detroit, and Los Angeles. A major conclusion was that businesses and land- lords use FAIR plans and surplus market lines to make up for inadequate coverage in the voluntary market, but renters, except in Miami, obtain insur- ance from the voluntary market. Second, in States where FAIR plan rates are very high, the voluntary market rather than the surplus lines market cap- tures the resulting business through nonstandard policies with restricted coverage and high deducti- bles. In the inner city, commercial enterprises cannot obtain multiple lines packages at afforda- ble rates (for small businesses insurance rates sometimes amount to more than the business' annual profits) and therefore operate without crime, theft, and burglary insurance. There was a demonstrated increase in the number of people switching from the voluntary insurance markets to FAIR. Inner city residents, however, are not ade- quately informed about FAIR plans or Federal crime insurance. Problems in study design and the data limit these conclusions. Background informa- tion, methodology, and numerous tables are in- cluded. Response data are contained in three sep- arate volumes.

Responses were obtained for each Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) panel property that was rental for all or part of 1 975, a total of 1 ,444 records. In general, landlords were asked if they had heard of the HASE program, what they had heard, how they evaluated the program, and what they felt its ef- fects might be on their own household and on the neighborhood and the country as a whole. Both simple "yes and no" questions and open - ended questions were asked. Questions dealing with pro- gram beliefs and attitudes followed a general format which filtered out those who had no opinion and then asked for open - ended clarification. The interviewers recorded the responses verbatim and the codes were developed from these responses. Annotations gave the interpretations for each question which occurred during training, field oper- ations, editing, and data processing. Finally, each question contained marginals, a tabulation of all responses. The survey was addressed to a strati- fied random sample of properties with different sampling rates for each stratum so these margin- als were unweighted and described the master file rather than the sampled population.

The purpose of this study was to make an early examination of how the Community Development Block Grant Program is being carried out by Urban Counties and to surface issues or problems need- ing attention. Six of 13 urban counties located in California were examined. These counties ranged from highly rural with populations less than 200,000 in their unincorporated areas to densely settled with populations over 200,000 in unincor- porated areas. Regardless of population density and county resources, they all had start - up prob- lems with the CDBG program and underestimated staff needs. It was found that urban counties carry out two Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs, one in the unincorporated areas and the other in the incorporated. For unin- corporated areas the county assumes full respon- sibility for program planning, funding, and adminis- tration. In incorporated areas the cities perform these functions and the county is merely a pass - through agency for the funds. Neither legislation nor Federal guidelines address this problem direct- ly, and urban counties have chosen to interpret the guidelines to meet their particular needs. If Federal policy were changed to require these counties to exercise full responsibility and accountability for the CDBG program in incorporated as well as unin- corporated areas, there would likely be a substan- tial reduction in the number of such counties par- ticipating. Cities would probably drop out of county programs and pursue discretionary funding while the counties themselves would likely withdraw rather than change their traditional relationships with their cities. It is recommended that HUD field offices be aware of the special administrative prob- lems facing urban counties and work with them in setting guidelines.

A three - part evaluation in Region IX (California) found that Affirmative Fair Marketing has had no measurable effect or noticeable influence upon the racial composition of single family subdivisions or multifamily projects, and that developers have 310 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT done little to alter their practices in response to Af- firmative Fair Marketing. The first part of the evalu- ation focused on region - wide implementation of Fair Marketing. It found that the single strongest determinant of the racial distribution within a subdi- vision or project is location. HUD - processed single family subdivisions tend to be located in white, more affluent areas while multifamily pro- jects using a subsidy are located in areas with a greater minority population. The use of subsidy in single - family subdivisions significantly increases the participation of Spanish - speaking persons while black participation is hardly increased at all. On the other hand, multifamily projects tend to serve about twice as many blacks as Spanish fami- lies. The second and third parts of the study exam- ine Fair Marketing practices in San Francisco and San Diego. They confirm the findings for the region as a whole. Builders tend to set the "goals" to re- flect the racial composition of the area as a whole and little effective monitoring of the program is done. A series of recommendations for more ag- gressive enforcement of the Fair Marketing Pro- gram are given. Charts, statistics, and summaries of other studies are appended.

In 1971 the Minnesota State Legislature enacted the landmark Metropolitan Fiscal Disparities Act, which established a tax base sharing plan for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Under this legisla- tion, each jurisdiction in the seven - county area shares 40 percent of all areawide growth in the commerical - industrial tax base. Before tax base sharing, per capita property values ranged from $1000 to $45,000 among the region's jurisdictions. This fiscal disparity made it difficult for some com- munities to provide services without imposing un- fairly high tax rates. These communities would then try to attract industries to highly residential or largely rural areas, providing less than optimal de- velopment patterns. Some jurisdictions also did not want low - income housing because it "did not pay its way." The formulas used for the plan are explained in detail and a series of tables give before - tax and after - tax data which show that in the 10 communities evaluated in detail, the total amount collected in taxes did not change during the first 2 years of the plan's existence. Those whose tax bases increased had lowered taxes, while those whose tax bases did not rise as rapidly had increased taxes. The long - run effect on de- velopment patterns could not be assessed. How- ever, interviews with corporate executives found that tax rates were not a major consideration when moving into an area, but were a consideration in intra - area moves. It is hoped the plan will encour- age industry to locate in built - up areas which gen- erally have lower tax rates. Notes, references, and appendices are included.

Data from the two sites of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment - St. Joseph County, Ind., and Brown County, Wise, -- indicate that an excess supply of housing does not significantly reduce rents. This finding helps to resolve the conflict be- tween simulation models that predict price in- creases from housing allowances and empirical studies that observe no such effect. Brown County has a low vacancy rate (5.1 percent), high turnover (65.6 percent), and an annual average vacancy du- ration of 4 weeks. Central South Bend in Indiana has a vacancy rate of 1 2.3 percent, an annual turn- over rate of 59.5 percent, and an average vacancy duration of 10.7 weeks. The rest of St. Joseph County has an 8.9 percent vacancy rate, a 55.3 percent annual turnover, and an average annual vacancy duration of 8.4 percent. The higher vacan- cy rate and longer vacancy duration cause a 2.1 percent price discount in central South Bend com- pared to the rest of the county. Rents are about 2 percent lower in St. Joseph County than in Brown County, primarily because land costs are lower. The simulation model reflects two assumptions which are not observed in the actual market. It as- sumes that loose housing markets have discount- ed housing prices, and that the allowance will focus demand on standard housing, bidding up the prices. However, much substandard housing has been converted rapidly to standard housing at low cost to landlords, expanding the number of units available. The major factors affecting rents are land costs and housing capital costs. Statistical tables illustrate these findings. Technical appendi- ces are included.

A stratified cluster sample of 3,722 households in Brown County, Wis., one of two sites for the Hous- ing Assistance Supply Experiment, found that housing choices are strongly influenced by the de- mographic configuration of the household. Less than 7 percent of young, single heads of house- hold are homeowners; 90 percent rent apartments and the remainder rent other forms of housing. Young married couples tend to prefer rental hous- ing, but the move to home ownership (usually a single - family dwelling) often begins when children arrive, presenting economic problems for a family. Housing needs, made more pressing because of the presence of children, must now be satisfied by a reduced income caused by the wife's assump- tion of a nonsalaried, child - raising role. This prob- lem continues until either the husband's income rises in the middle years or the wife goes back to work. It is not until families become older heads - of - household with older children that income and need assume a balance. By this stage, 95 percent of those interviewed were homeowners. Since families who are renting generally have the same number of members as ownership families in the same life cycle stage, renters tend to be more crowded. Changes in life style account for most of the mobility in Brown County. As families grow, moves are made to gain more space. As death and divorce, along with the departure of children, reduce family size, households move to smaller space and often return to renting. The influence of housing assistance on these choices is not known. A series of tables and appendices give detailed data on the interrelationships of family size, house- hold income, and housing choice. References are included.

A study in Berkeley, Calif., finds that the availability of loans from commercial banks and savings and loans in a neighborhood has a substantial impact on rehabilitation decisions. For all landlords taken together, it is the lack of available loans, not dis- criminatory attitudes, which discourages otherwise profitable repairs in black neighborhoods. Loan availability is particularly important to owner - occu- pant landlords, who perhaps have fewer financial options. Many of these resident landlords are themselves black while others in neighborhoods with a high proportion of blacks have selected ten- ants on nondiscriminatory grounds. For nonresi- dent landlords, discriminatory attitudes appear to 311 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT be more important and loan availability less impor- tant in discouraging rehabilitation in black neigh- borhoods. Nonoccupant landlords also have great- er interest in redeveloping their property, which serves as a disincentive to repair existing housing. Landlord rehabilitation decisions are not sensitive to past changes over time in neighborhood crime rates, racial composition, and density. Current con- ditions are more critical. These findings support strategies which make loans more available, espe- cially to occupant landlords; which use code en- forcement and other pressures on nonoccupant landlords; and which otherwise differentiate be- tween occupant and nonoccupant owners. The study contains maps, statistical data, and refer- ences. (Author abstract modified). PB80-171804 PC A03/MF A01 National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing, Inc., Washington, DC.

In June and July 1977, trained auditors shopped in pairs for housing advertised in their local newspa- pers. This effort to gather data on discrimination employed 300 black and 300 white auditors and studied 40 metropolitan areas in depth. A total of 1,000 audits (400 in home sales and 600 in apart- ment rents) were made in the 5 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas and between 30 and 50 were made in the other areas, for a total of 3,264 evaluations. A black and a white auditor, matched for all characteristics except race, visited each site and acted as would any prospective renter or purchaser. The teams went only once in response to each ad, but even in a single visit sales and rental agents can find many ways to dis- criminate against blacks. Blacks were told more often an apartment was not available, that the waiting list was long, and were asked many more questions about their financial status. Sales agents frequently steered blacks and whites to certain neighborhoods. All were treated courteously and blatant discrimination was not common. In the rental market whites were favored by being shown the advertised apartment 28 percent of the time, blacks 1 2 percent of the time. Whites had addition- al apartments volunteered 41 percent of the time, blacks 15 percent. Similar discrimination existed for apartments inspected and waiting lists. In sales, whites were favored for the advertised house 22 percent, blacks 9 percent. In number of houses suggested, whites were favored 52 per- cent, blacks 25 percent, with similar patterns for other measures.

An executive summary is provided for a 1976 report on housing rehabilitation experiences in 12 communities in Westchester County, N.Y. Selec- tion of a target area, financing, regulation, staffing, and support services are discussed as key issues in implementing a rehabilitation program. Neigh- borhood selection is approached through data col- lection, neighborhood analysis, and the selection process itself. The report discusses the selection process in detail for each rehabilitation site; the ex- ecutive summary provides a sample of these dis- cussions in treating the town of Greensburgh. The financing approaches used, all of which employ community development funds, are labeled tandem financing (a combination of a bank loan and a direct payment from public funds), revolving loans (financing entirely out of community develop- ment funds which are replenished through repay- ments), and direct grants (small grants also fi- nanced entirely by community development funds and made available to low - income homeowners). Each of these financing approaches is discussed in detail in the report. Responses to key questions regarding program regulations are also consid- ered. The report illustrates that the 12 rehabilita- tion programs have adopted staff patterns which reflect the character of their operating agencies, program size, and the availability of resources. Critical staff functions include overall coordination, dealing with lenders, interviewing prospective ap- plicants, financial advising, loan and grant proc- essing, property inspection, specification and cost writing, rehabiliation monitoring, public information, and community relations. Services needed to com- plement the rehabilitation loans and grants are cat- egorized as public information activities, concen- trated municipal public improvements and serv- ices, and tax assessment policies designed to stimulate renovation activity. An example of tax policy in the village of Tarrytown is provided. Ap- pendices contain charts of the municipal projects, detailed staffing arrangements, and samples of publicity brochures, forms, and legal documents.

This fourth volume in a series considers the physi- cal adequacy (availability of heating and plumbing, structural soundness, availability of sewage - dis- posal systems, maintenance of the living unit, design, electrical system, and kitchen) and affor- dability (ratio of the total cost of adequate housing to the household's total cash income) of housing for the elderly (65 and over). The figures used are taken from the 1976 Annual Housing Survey, sponsored by HUD and conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Statistics show that more of the elderly live outside metropolitan areas than is proportionately true of the general population. They tend to live in older housing; often, they own the housing they occupy, with over half having paid - in - full mortgages. The physical adequacy of their housing matches that of the total population; only about a tenth of the elderly's living units are phys- ically deficient. There is, however, a difference in the housing flaws of the elderly as compared with the total population. The housing of the elderly has a higher rate of plumbing, sewage, and kitchen flaws and has a lower rate of flaws in maintenance and toilet access. It is estimated that 42 percent of the elderly, but only 20 percent of the total popula- tion, would have to spend over a quarter of their cash incomes to obtain unflawed, uncrowded housing. The probability of the elderly living in inad- equate housing depends on income, sex and household size (men living alone have a substan- tial likelihood of residing in flawed housing), ethni- city (poor Hispanic men living alone have the high- est chance of being ill - housed), and whether they own or rent their housing.

Payments in Lieu of Taxes: A Status Report 19 Mar 79, 95p Rept no.

This report to the Congress establishes compara- tive standards for evaluating payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) by public housing agencies (PHA's) to provide services to public housing projects. Among the issues discussed are local requests for an increase in PILOT, preferably to the level of full taxes, and related methodological issues; history, trends, and patterns of PILOT; State and local tax exemptions for housing and nonhousing uses; the need for PILOT, growing out of the impact of hous- ing programs on urban migration patterns and mu- nicipal service demands; and the development of a model to evaluate the impact of tax exemptions within a cost - benefit context. Also discussed are the tax treatment of public housing, compared to that of other federally subsidized properties, and the problem in setting market values for public rather than private properties. The report finds that (1) the Federal operating subsidy for public hous- ing has increased from a small amount in 1970 to $685 million in 1978 and (2) the local share of public housing over the last 25 years has de- creased from 50 to 6 percent. An analytic model for evaluating the costs and benefits of public housing for local communities is provided, and the true fiscal burden of a public housing project is dis- tinguished from its apparent burden. Footnotes, a bibliography, and three appendices are included. Appendix A presents a technical analysis of the re- lationship between utility costs, tenant incomes, dwelling rents, and PILOT; Appendix B covers local tax exemption patterns; and Appendix C pro- vides data on impacted area aid.

Part one of a three - part research effort intended to aid in the development of optimal use of com- puter facilities and data base by the Department of Public Safety of Durham, N.C., this initial stage was designed to create a data base that will correlate personnel background information with existing measures of officer efficiency and competence. Study data consisted of background characteris- tics and performance measures on the 256 sworn members of the Durham Department of Public Safety as of February 1 976. Data were collected manually from the personnel files of the individual officers in a manner that insured privacy. Back- ground characteristics and performance measures used were in the following major categories: physi- cal, family background, locational, occupational, educational, and test scores. Data analysis showed no strong correlations between the back- ground variables and the current personnel evalu- ation criteria. The following recommendations are proposed: (1) develop a modified personnel evalu- ation instrument because the difficulties of cross - group comparison make it unlikely that the current system could be used in a validation study; (2) en- hance the objective measures of performance cur- rently available, such as collecting letters of com- plaint or commendation; (3) collect data on inter- mediate variables, such as training scores and measures of early performance to determine if these variables correlate any better with perform- ance measures in the later stages of an officer's career; and (4) expand the data base to include any additional or new performance measures to create a total computer - based system.

The first phase of the study consisted of an evaluation of the Census Geographic Base File / Dual Independent Map Encoding (BGF / DIME) File (a computerized map) as a vehicle for convert- ing the address identifications of public safety inci- dents to geocodes that identify the location of the incidents in a coordinate system. The second phase involved the development of summary re- ports from the coordinate geocodes. The first study phase consisted of the following tasks: (1) matching the addresses of recorded incidents during July 1975 with an address range of the DIME file to obtain coordinate geocodes for the re- corded incident, (2) evaluation of the accuracy of the assignment of coordinates, and (3) enumera- tion of the shortcomings of the existing DIME File as a vehicle for obtaining coordinate geocodes for recorded incidents. Evaluation of the accuracy of the assignment of coordinates was based on site visits of a sample of the recorded incidents. Based on this sample, coordinates can be assigned to en- tries with an average error of 54 feet from the cor- rected coordinates via the DIME file. Uses of co- ordinate geocodes were demonstrated by recreat- ing the grid - cell system presently used to summa- rize public safety incidents. A comparison of the mapping from the digitized data with a mapping made from map references of the recorded inci- dents showed the use of the coordinate geocoded data to be more effective in accuracy and efficien- cy. Supporting tabular data are provided, and the appendices contain the computer program used to compute coordinates for the incidents from the 'from' node coordinates and the 'to' node coordi- nates and the computer program used to map co- ordinate geo3) ed data into a grid - cell system writ- ten in FORTRAN language.

Specific revisions to HUD's Minimum Property Standards (MPS) are discussed with reference to the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) barrier - free design standards for the handi- capped. These revisions address the availability of accessible buildings in housing for the elderly and handicapped, multifamily housing, and single - family housing. The 14 recommendations dis- cussed include the following basic suggestions: adopt the proposed ANSI A117.1 (1977) by refer- ence in the MPS for multifamily housing; establish a minimum number of accessible units in multifam- ily housing and allow regional HUD offices to es- tablish a higher number based on local need and demand; prepare minor revisions to the MPS crite- ria that would restrict accessibility or cause in- creased costs, if accessibility criteria in ANSI were referenced; prepare a guidebook for design of ac- cessible housing; and prepare guidelines for es- tablishing the need for accessible housing at the local level. Specific recommendations suggest the deletion of the requirement for a desk in the bed- room of one - bedroom apartments for the elderly since the desk would require an unnecessary in- crease in floor space in the bedroom beyond that required in the table of minimum floor areas for rooms, and an exception to the MPS prohibition against stairs as the only means of access to dwelling units for the elderly since many elderly people are able to walk stairs easily.

In October 1973, there were 75,969,000 housing units in the United States. About 91 percent, or 69.3 million, were oc- cupied while the remaining 6.6 million were vacant. An estimated 51.1 million units, or 67 percent, were inside standard metropolitan statistical areas, about the same percentage as in 1970. However, during this 3 - year period suburban units increased from 51.2 percent to 52.8 percent.

Renters were more likely to report water leakage from the roof, the presence of open cracks or holes, and broken plaster and peeling paint. The proportion of units with 1.01 persons per room decreased from 1 1 .5 percent in 1 960 to 8 percent in 1 970 and 5.6 percent in 1973. Of the owner - occupied homes which had at least one bedroom lacking privacy, nearly two - thirds were in rural areas; of the renter - occupied homes with a bedroom lacking privacy, about half were in rural areas. Overall about 9.4 percent of owner - occupied houses and 15.6 per- cent of renter occupied homes had such a lack of privacy.

This paper develops a model to project the poten- tial impact of various tax policies on the level of multifamily housing production and rehabilitation. It attempts to overcome the weaknesses of tradition- al cash - flow models by using actual projects, not hypothetical models, to study variations in project characteristics. It also calculates coverage ratios in addition to internal rates of return because cov- erage ratios are more important to passive inves- tors. This paper evaluates the immediate impact of policy alternatives by calculating fees paid to build- er - developers rather than rents or rates of return. Data for the model are easily available from Feder- al Housing Administration and State housing fi- nance administration forms. The model user first collects data from a sample of actual development projects and calculates a builder - developer fee for each. Then either nonlinear least squares or maximum likelihood estimation methods are used to infer the parameters of the logic function and the potential project distribution. Finally, actual project distribution in the area would be modified to represent the underlying distribution of potential projects. A pilot study in one HUD region is recom- mended to test the validity of this concept.

The Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) deliberately picked two dissimilar markets to test the effects of direct housing assistance on recipients' choice of housing, the price of housing in the area, and dispersion of poor and minority families. Brown County, Wis., has a stable econo- my, good housing stock, and a homogeneous pop- ulation. St. Joseph County, Ind., has a great deal of unemployment, a large black and Spanish - speak- ing minority population, and a deteriorating inner city (South Bend). Despite these differences, pro- gram experiences in both areas have been re- markably similar. About 7 percent of all house- holds in Brown County and 8 percent in St. Joseph County are receiving payments. Through Septem- ber 1977 (39 months of full program operation in Brown County and 30 months in St. Joseph County) the Brown County Housing Assistance Office had disbursed $6.1 million in allowance pay- ments and St. Joseph County $6.4 million. The program has few eligibility restrictions except income, yet the characteristics of program partici- pants have also been similar in the two markets with elderly persons and single parents making up the majority of participants. Younger persons with children participate for short periods of time to sup- plement unemployment benefits, but drop out after a few months. Few participants have moved to up- grade housing, and the effect on rents has been negligible. Most have brought existing housing up to standard or have convinced their landlords to do so; median cash outlay for repairs was $10. The program has been well administered and is well re- ceived.

The Experimental Housing Allowance Program has field tested the possible role of direct cash as- sistance in maintaining and expanding the housing stock, broadening housing choice for all families, and revitalizing the cities. The experiment found that neither cash assistance targeted toward hous- ing expenditures nor improved general welfare payments provide significant progress toward these goals. In practice, households who receive 314 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT housing assistance payments spend their in- creased purchasing power on items other than housing. (In both Pittsburgh, Pa., and Phoenix, Ariz., 71 percent of the subsidy was spent on other goods.) Households which would be forced by the program's standards to increase significantly their housing expenditures do not participate in the pro- gram. Assistance payments do bring units with minor deficiencies up to standard, and they also result in better maintenance of units which are al- ready standard. However, the payments do not generate substantial repairs to the housing stock nor do they revitalize the neighborhoods occupied by the poor. Because of the lack of low - cost hous- ing and the reluctance of families to spend more than the large proportion of the income already committed to housing (as much as 40 percent in some cases), the assistance does not lead to greater dispersal of the poor and minority outside their traditional residential areas. The problems of urban neighborhoods are so complex that a mix of programs must be used to combat nonresponsive housing markets, the inertia of decaying neighbor- hoods, and the legacy of discrimination.

In 1977, the Anchorage Urban Observatory (Alaska) conducted two citizen opinion surveys which found that people generally favored bond issues to finance capital expenditures but were quite selective about issues they would support. Those most likely to favor local government bond- ing were involved in civic affairs, indicating that the larger the voter turnout the less likely the bond issue will pass, since knowledgeable people would constitute a smaller proportion of the voting popu- lation. About 90 percent of the citizens favored bond issues for road construction, 74 percent for a sewage treatment plant, and 68 percent for sewer line extensions. Opposition rose for a civic center (21 percent opposed), a regional library (21 per- cent opposed) and downtown parking garages (33 percent opposed). Although the police services ex- tension bond issue succeeded due to its accurate presentation and popular support, the library bond issue failed because most Anchorage adults do not use the library, the exact location of the new library was not explained, and little publicity was mounted to gain support. Before putting an issue on the ballot, the city government should try to de- termine public opinion on the issue and should plan a strong educational campaign.

A special set of urban development statutes, unique to the State of Missouri, combine the right of eminent domain for private developers with a tax abatement program to encourage private rede- velopment. This Chapter 353 program is subject to controversy because it has been used primarily for the commercial redevelopment of downtown St. Louis. Critics charge that this redevelopment would have taken place anyway and that the tax loss exceeds the redevelopment gain. Two sur- veys, one commissioned by HUD and one by the city of St. Louis, came to opposite conclusions about the importance of Chapter 353 to develop- ers, but the surveys used differing methodology. It is probably true, however, that tax abatement helped to lure developers to the decaying down- town area. Court challenges have affirmed that the program, which is written into the Missouri consti- tution, is legal. A special study found that tax - abated projects will generate an estimated $72.6 million in excess of the total revenue foregone. This may not be applicable in other cities, howev- er, as the property tax is a relatively minor source of income for St. Louis. If the program were used for rental housing, tax abatement would represent a reduction of $20 per month in rent. It could also mean a 16 percent reduction in mortgage pay- ments for ownership housing. The issue of its use for commercial versus housing purposes is best handled by the political process. Its effectiveness in revitalizing downtown St. Louis is evident. Exten- sive notes and appendices contain references and additional data. PB80-172380 PC A99/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, CA.

The audit as- sessed the completeness and reliability of the data on community attitudes toward the housing allow- ance program and led to modifications in field methods and data preparation for later surveys. The audit involved searching for coding and clean- ing errors, assessing potential biases due to non- response and unequal sex distribution of respond- ents in joint - headed households, documenting changes made to the codes by which verbatim re- sponses were converted to machine - readable form, and checking for evidence of problems in the survey instrument, interviewer training, field proce- dures, or survey data preparation that might affect the quality or interpretation of the data. The audit showed that interviewers did not always under- stand the allowance program well enough to deter- mine whether respondents were knowledgeable. Data were sometimes missing or inapplicable as a result. Interviewers should be better informed about the allowance program and be given further training in nondirective probing to elicit clearer an- swers from respondents.

A strategy to increase employment among low - income and economically disadvantaged groups must combine industrial and economic develop- ment, strategies, small business development, skills development, the marshaling of community resources to aid persons in need of jobs, and job creation for the chronically unemployed. A Nation- al Urban League review of cities which have used Community Development Block Grant funds for job development finds that money used for indus- trial and economic development has gone into land acquisition, demolition and clearance, site im- provements, studies, and other activities, with little being accomplished in the way of attracting jobs to poor neighborhoods. This lack of job strategies is partly due to a lack of policy direction, and to the time - lag which characterizes government activity. Private businesses often hesitate to cooperate with such schemes because of the time lost due to administrative indecision. However, in Baltimore, 315 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT Md., small business development has been more successful, especially when it has been combined with neighborhood revitalization programs. Many cities have put together, employment packages using financial aid from a number of Federal and local sources. In addition, skills development, job training, and community aid programs have been the most visible components and generally have successfully placed trained persons in public or private sector jobs. Finally, projects which have addressed the chronically unemployed have had mixed success. Although training is adequate, job placement has proved to be difficult. No refer- ences are provided.

The rule of thumb that families should spend about a fourth of their incomes for shelter originated in the late 19th century when a week's wages for a month's rent was the common practice. With time, it has become apparent that this rule does not de- scribe the actual relationships between shelter ex- penditures and income very well and is not able to meet the multiple goals of mortgage lenders and housing policy planners. In 1 970 only 1 3 percent of American households paid 20 to 25 percent of their gross incomes for rent. A 1973 study in Boston found the amount ranged from 37 to 49 percent for those with annual incomes of $3,000, down to a range of 23 to 28 percent for those with incomes over $7,800. Although lenders and rental agents use the rule of thumb to screen out pros- pective borrowers and tenants who might not meet their monthly payments, most defaults and foreclo- sures are associated with unstable incomes or un- expected family crises (unemployment, exception- al medical bills, or divorce), not ratio of income spent for shelter. It is not clear at what point hous- ing expenditures may become too burdensome. The rule is also an inappropriate guideline for Fed- eral housing programs; more comprehensive crite- ria which consider the total family situation are needed.

High quality, inno- vative housing systems suitable for volume pro- duction are the technological foundation of OB, which seeks better ways to build new houses by adding the dimension of industrialized housing, testing innovative ideas and materials, and improv- ing marketing and standards. To date, designs successfully completed through these specified housing systems producers range from split - level to high - rise homes and use wood, concrete, metal, and plastic building materials. The result is housing with marked distinction but uniform qual- ity, over a wide price range. Administration of the program is the responsibility of HUD; State and local governments nominated the prototype sites and industry provided the housing system produc- ers.

The result of a year - long study conducted by the Minneapolis Arts Commission (Minnesota), this report is the first comprehensive examination of artist housing in converted buildings in the United States. The Warehouse Artist Living / Working Space Project examined buildings in the downtown Minneapolis warehouse district to determine how vacant and underutilized warehouse buildings could be converted to artist studio / living space, in compliance with zoning and building code require- ments, and remain affordable for low - and moder- ate - income artists. Initially, 80 buildings in the dis- trict were surveyed and 5 were selected for de- tailed analysis in terms of condition and structure, history, and location. Case studies for each build- ing contain proposals for the reuse of the buildings and descriptions of interior demolition, code com- pliance, energy improvements, and unit develop- ment. To obtain a general understanding of the nature of the improvements required and estimat- ed costs, design drawings of the study buildings are included, as are specific improvements for conversion of other buildings to living / studio uses, price information, and code references. Al- though it is unlikely that affordable space can be created without major subsidy from a public or pri- vate source, a variety of financing approaches are identified and explained. Income tax incentives may be valuable in reducing development costs if the investors are in an upper tax bracket and desire to limit their tax liability. Also, real estate tax incentives, in the form of abatement or exemption, and government financing programs are possibili- ties. A detailed economic analysis of annual occu- pancy costs is provided. To ensure that artists will be able to exert long - term control over these spaces, the report examines certain legal consid- erations, such as a system of ongoing incentives to developers, standard ownership forms (e.g., fee simple), and collective forms of ownership (condo- minium or cooperative).

Keywords: 'Trailers, 'Housing studies, Communi- ties, Requirements, Lesiglation, Environments, 'Mobile homes. This study examines the problems and needs of the mobile home community and provides guide- lines for improving the mobile home living environ- ment throughout the U.S. Currently, 3.4 million year - round mobile homes exist nationwide, repre- senting 96 percent of all new housing available for under $20,000. Due to the significance of mobile homes in the country's total housing picture, the following major constraints against the acceptance of mobile homes must be addressed: many com- munities continue to view mobile homes as a blight on the local environment and often enact legisla- tion to prohibit or isolate them; mobile home build- ers remain unwilling to incorporate features to im- prove the environment of mobile homes because of unknown or increased development and mainte- nance costs; and planners, designers, engineers, and government personnel and agencies have not promoted or utilized standards which can improve the mobile home environment. Some recommen- dations to improve this situation include locating mobile home sites, parks, or subdivisions in areas of compatible land use and surrounding environ- ments, in areas with adequate utility and road sup- port systems, in areas with reasonable conven- ience to community facilities, and in areas of simi- lar density. For individual mobile home lots and mobile home group settings, techniques are de- scribed for creating privacy, protecting the view from the home and lot, controlling the climate, and improving the attractiveness of the environment. The design recommendations to improve mobile home living environments are made with cost con- siderations in mind. Appropriate unit costs and costs per mobile home lot are included, where ap- plicable. In addition, an evaluation method contain- ing three major categories (location, individual mobile home lot, and group mobile home setting) for mobile home living is presented as a guide for Federal, State, or local jurisdictions in evaluating mobile home environment or for designers, devel- opers, and prospective mobile home residents in determining features which are important for im- proving mobile home living.

Keywords: 'Neighborhoods, 'Safety, Design, Crime prevention, Residential buildings, Crimes, Automobiles. Environmental security design is based on the concept of territoriality -- a protective feeling fos- tered in those who live in or work in an area. Terri- toriality assumes that persons will feel potentially threatened by the intrusion of strangers and will be willing to act on that perception. It also assumes that potential offenders will perceive that they are intruding on the domain of others and will be no- ticed. This feeling can be fostered by design ele- ments which restrict areas for the exclusive use of residents and invited persons, group entrances and access ways so that those who use them reg- ularly are known to others, and reduce visual bar- riers. Environmental security design also reduces hiding places for offenders and makes leaving the area difficult. Maps illustrate the theories of terri- toriality and its application to reduce residential burglary, auto thefts, street robberies, and mug- gings. The first step is data collection. Often, plot- ting the place of occurrence and the circum- stances surrounding crimes will suggest design changes. A section of the manual charts the envi- ronmental design process and suggests ways such a project might be organized, funded, and ap- plied.

Flexible and relatively simple, this computer model was designed and built under rigid time constraints for the North West Colorado Council of Govern- ments to identify potential water users who face limited availability during drought situations or as a result of increased water use by other users. The model, in rough form, allows for parameter changes such as severity of drought (e.g., 1 - year to 50 - year droughts) and various low - flow figures (e.g., 7 - day, 30 - day, 60 - day). It also allows for 'increased' or 'conservation' levels of usage and a wide variety of geographical configurations. Pa- rameter changes are achieved through manipula- tion of the data base. The model user may simu- late either an individual water user or the entire system. The model was developed with dummy data to test the programs and logic and is equipped with 1966 U.S.G.S. gauging station data and 1974 priority water rights lists for Routt County, Colo. Model validation is a three - step process: (1) verification of the accuracy of dummy data, (2) modeling of current drought year with contemporary user data, and (3) test of the drought model against the actual drought situation to check discrepancies. Further studies should ex- plore four basic areas, including literature search- ing, particularly on the CORSIM model and the Kent Holt model; validation of the model; updating of the data base with figures beginning mid - 1978; and expansion of the model to account for reser- voirs, soil quality, water quality, precipitation fac- tors, and transbasin diversions.

Windfalls (benefits deriving from increased land values as a byproduct of government land - use regulation or other causes not directly involving the owner) should be partially recaptured to help com- pensate for wipeouts (losses from decreased land values having the same origin), thus reducing in- equities. This is the theme of 'Windfalls and Wi- peouts,' a booklet international in scope and based on experiences of five countries - Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, and the U.S. Summarized in this booklet (the work), covers all known techniques of mitigating and recapturing windfalls and wipeouts from land - use planning and regulation and also deals with economics, law, and planning. Two models introduce readers to both a comprehensive system for dealing with windfalls and wipeouts and a limited system for mitigating wipeouts from land - use controls and recapturing windfalls sufficient to fund those pay- ments.

This manual serves as a guide in the preparation and delivery of counseling services to first - time homebuyers enrolled in the demonstration for counselors involved in the Prepurchase Home- ownership Counseling Demonstration. HUD is con- ducting the program to learn whether prepurchase homeownership counseling can reduce the rate of mortgage default and foreclosure among Federal Housing Administration insured and subsidized mortgagors (low - income and moderate - income) and increase the ability of first - time homebuyers to deal effectively with the problems of homeown- ership. In Philadelphia, Pa., Atlanta, Ga., and Phoenix, Ariz., four basic counseling variations will be tested: group counseling sessions, group and individual counseling, individualized advocacy counseling, and no direct counseling. Individuals in the noncounseled group will receive copies of the Homebuyer's Information Package, and their prog- ress in buying and owning homes will be monitored throughout the demonstration period. Unlike the other groups, these participants will have no con- tact with counselors. Further distinctions are made among the counseling methods, and a detailed counseling curriculum for each counseling vari- ation is used. Counselors, the manual suggests, should become familiar with the different counsel- ing techniques to be employed with all three coun- seling variations. They should use only those counseling approaches which are described for the particular group, however, in order to deter- mine whether one counseling approach is better than another. Advice is also provided on handling participant's problems, dealing with other housing actors, adapting to local circumstances, involving participants in decisionmaking, and preventing de- pendency relationships.

This study presents alternative systems for allocat- ing community development block grant (CDBG) funds to small cities, using data drawn from a sample of 1,962 municipalities and townships of under 50,000 population, along with a comparison group of 449 cities above 50,000 population. The study also partly fulfills the requirement of the 1 977 amendment by Senator James R. Sasser to study small cities and alternative funding formulas for the CDBG program. Findings of the analysis were that (1) community problems and needs differ most be- tween small nonmetropolitan cities on the one hand and between small metropolitan and large cities on the other, (2) poverty - oriented factors are better indicators of nonmetropolitan distress than community are, (3) availability of current data should be considered in making further formula changes, and (4) policymakers should analyze other funding sources before making final deci- sions on changing CDBG fund distribution. Com- parative analysis of three groups of cities - small, nonmetropolitan, and large - revealed that small, nonmetropolitan cities are in much greater need of funds than small metropolitan cities. Suggested formula alternatives include substituting factors into the present system, using impaction formulas and measures of concentrated problems, lowering population entitlement threshold to 25,000, and using a general revenue sharing approach to allo- cate CDBG nonmetropolitan funds.

Nature and Distribution of Subsidence Prob- lems Affecting HUD and Urban Areas.

This HUD study discusses the extent of subsi- dence (land sinking) problems affecting various urban areas, risks from different kinds of subsi- dence, and their effects on and damage to com- munities. Three types of subsidence discussed in detail are subsidences from underground mining (especially coal) and subsidences occurring in or- ganic wetlands and limestone terranes. Their loca- tions and distributions are shown on accompany- ing maps. Through information obtained from nu- merous sources, the report concludes that subsi- dence is likely to grow worse throughout the coun- try through increased mining and urban expansion into unsuitable land. Total costs amount to $89 mil- lion annually nationwide and result from physical damage, population dislocation, preventive meas- ures, property value depreciation, and adverse growth effects; major social effects include disrup- tion of services and facilities, neighborhood de- cline, and loss of community as residents must re- locate. Subsidence through coal mining is espe- cially likely to increase, as 40 million acres are threatened nationwide and 2 million have already subsided; it is estimated that subsidence due to mining costs property owners $30 million a year. Wetlands require constant attention if subsidence is to be avoided, while limestone terranes offer the least danger, due to proper investigation before building. Local officials and homeowners are often reluctant to acknowledge the existence of subsi- dence problems because they fear adverse eco- nomic effects or property depreciation; this makes it difficult to obtain data for developing preventive measures. The report recommends the subsi- dence information gap be quickly remedied and suggests that a central agency be set up to over- see research. Appendices include user's guides for maps, methods of estimating damage, charac- teristics of subsidence, and a list of urban areas subject to it because of mines.

Since the entire public safety subsystem at Long Beach is subdivided into various segments that are referred to as 'components,' the report refers to a compo- nent integration test plan (CITP) rather than a module integration test plan. The purpose, scope, and use of the CITP are described, as well as the performance criteria upon which the CITP is based and against which the component's performance is measured. The actual procedures that are used to administer and monitor the test are outlined, and the criteria used to evaluate the transition to and from an emergency backup system are described. The resources required to successfully administer a valid test are mentioned (hardware, software, personnel, facilities). Also included is a chart which illustrates the proposed time schedule for accom- plishing the test. A sample program test selected from one of the component programs is appended.

This report marks the end of the second major task in the development and imple- mentation of the comprehensive, integrated, com- puter - based subsystem for the Departments of Building and Safety, Health, Planning, and Fi- nance. The Fire Department, actually a participant in the public safety information subsystem, will also interface with PEDS. The conceptualization task, which followed analysis of the existing infor- mation processes in these departments, created a framework for detailed systems design. Its proc- esses included aggregation of decisions made within and between departments, rationalization of information flow, and realization of a course system design. Primary emphasis was on a plan which would identify all major information ele- ments, the role of these elements in binding to- gether system components, and assurance of an incremental and orderly system implementation. Subsystem parts as conceived during the task are the inquiry, establishment, permit, complaint / re- ferral, violation, and inspections components.

Keywords: 'Citizen participation, 'Community de- velopment, Urban areas, Neighborhoods, Coun- ties, Local government. This catalog presents descriptions of innovative and noteworthy citizen participation processes in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in 31 communities (27 cities and 4 coun- ties). Each description includes three sections: a brief background on citizen participation in the community prior to the beginning of the CDBG Pro- gram, the procedures and structures used to im- plement citizen participation in the program, and exemplary aspects of the citizen participation proc- ess. This catalog is intended to help local officials involve citizens in the allocation, implementation, and monitoring of Federal CDBG funds in their communities. It is also intended to help citizens and citizen organizations take an active role in im- proving their neighborhoods and communities. The descriptions of citizen participation processes in the 27 cities are organized on the basis of popu- lation size, although there are a variety of other factors to consider in the development of an effec- tive citizen participation process. In order to imple- ment citizen participation, the communities de- scribed in the catalog developed strategies for hearing and incorporating citizen ideas and opin- ions. The structural components of the 31 commu- nities vary widely, both in the level at which the structures are organized (communitywide, district, or neighborhood) and in the lines and scope of re- sponsibility among the various levels. The state of existing citizen and neighborhood organizations in the community at the beginning of the CDBG Pro- gram was an important factor for communities in developing a citizen participation strategy. The ex- isting organizations and institutions had to be as- sessed in regard to decisions about how to build upon or modify them. Some communities, such as Asheville, N.C., decided not to use them at all. Be- sides the descriptions of citizen participation in the various communities, tables describe characteris- tics of citizen participation structures, city - level bodies, neighborhood organizations, intermediate - level bodies, and citizen participation in urban counties. Also listed are techniques used to en- courage citizen participation. Appendices contain information on socioeconomic characteristics of the cities, sources of data used in the catalog, methodology for the study, an annotated bibliogra- phy on citizen participation, and a glossary.

The Rangely Commercial Development Survey Project was designed to identify ways in which the town of Rangely, Colo., (pop. 2,000) could expand its commercial sector and, therefore, its revenue base. Rangely, like other energy - impacted com- munities, has suffered from successive develop- ment impacts since World War II, including a severe housing shortage, retarded commercial de- velopment, and a transient resident attitude. Two purposes of the project, designed with the help of the Public Administration Field Service Program, were to identify the basic reasons residents shopped outside Rangely and to decide what, if anything, could be done to improve existing busi- nesses and attract new ones. Survey results showed that most Rangely residents bought most of their retail goods and services in neighboring markets because of high prices, lack of availability of items, and lack of choice. The survey concluded that a substantial part of the business lost to Ran- gely could be recovered through additional effort and good marketing and business practices; and that town leaders, with the help of residents, should actively solicit new business.

Arranged in a question and answer format, this guide provides information about the Mutual Help Housing Program for Indians. The program was developed by an Indian housing authority to help low - income Indian families become homeowners. Families in one area join together to help build homes for all the families in the group. The value of each family's mutual contribution must be at least $1 ,500 and may be in the form of cash, land, labor, materials, or equipment. Part of the $1 ,500 may be contributed by the Indian tribe. The cost of the house will vary according to the geographic area and the size of the individual family. An Indian family may qualify for the program if its income is too low to pay for private housing in the area. The family also must be willing to sign a Mutual Help and Occupancy Agreement, a contract between the family and the housing authority. Details of the contract are explained as well as other concerns a family might have when considering this program. The goal of the program is to provide decent hous- ing with the potential for homeownership in 25 years or less after joining the program.

To obtain a reference work on discrimination of women in the housing market, the Women and Housing Project was carried out under an agree- ment between the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and HUD from July 1974 through June 1 975. The project also sought to encourage, at the local level, a continuing private sector thrust directed at eliminating discrimination based on sex in five major metropolitan^ areas - Atlanta, Ga., St. Louis, Mo., San Antonio, Tex., San Francisco, Calif., and New York City. To accomplish these goals, an ad hoc Commission on Women and Housing established to push for expanded housing opportunities at the local level, conducted local field research to identify issues for public hearings and develop a background demographic profile on each city, conducted a local public hearing in each city to probe the nature and extent of sex discrimi- nation in the housing market, and carried out a posthearing workshop to increase public aware- ness of sex discrimination in housing and to stimu- late local efforts to resolve the problem. The pro- ject's findings indicate that women in the cities studied face discrimination on account of their sex in the areas of marketing, lending, and shelter - re- lated services. Lack of equal rental opportunity represents an especially pressing problem. Histori- cally, discrimination has been overt; today, it is in- creasingly subtle, hidden behind such superficially neutral criterion as marital status. Myths and ste- reotypes about women are the underpinning of prejudicial attitudes shared by both men and women in the housing system. In addition, neither public agencies nor private organizations maintain and compile statistics pertinent to women's access to shelter or housing - related services and facilities, or to the impediment of finding solutions to the problem as well as raising the level of public awareness. Other findings and recommendations are provided.

First - year data show that a housing allowance can make housing more affordable for those al- ready in adequate homes and facilitate housing im- provement for those not already in adequate hous- ing. A third of the enrollees in the Housing Gap plans already met minimum housing requirements. They were paying an average of 44 percent of their disposable income for rent, however. Allowance payments reduced this to 26 percent. Households which did not meet minimum housing requirements could receive allowances only if they upgraded their units or moved to acceptable housing. Only a third of this group met the housing requirements by the end of the year. Households in the control group, the unconstrained plan, did not have to meet minimum housing requirements and incurred program - induced rent increases of only 10 per- cent of the allowance payment, in contrast to 30 percent for all Housing Gap recipients. Most eligi- ble households in the two experimental cities (Pittsburgh, Pa., and Phoenix, Ariz.) did not partici- pate. Some refused to enroll, and others enrolled but did not meet the housing requirements during the first year. Since those at the upper level of the income range were more likely to live in adequate housing, it was easier for them to participate. Thus, the program tended to serve those with higher in- comes. The rent rebate program showed that this type of subsidy resulted in a greater increase in housing expenditure than would a pure income transfer of the same amount. None of the plans had any effect on the desegregation of the poor and minorities. This review contains charts, foot- notes, and appendices. PB80-172984 PC A05/MF A01 California Univ., Berkeley.

The California Commission on Government Reform, established in the wake of Proposition 13, presents this report on allocating the 1 percent local property tax in the State; it is one in a series of reports. The present California law provides for distribution of property taxes at a fixed rate insensi- tive to the dynamics of city growth and change. The proposed formula - based allocation system is not subject to preferences of individual govern- ment offices; the basis is the same for every juris- diction, and it can be relied on over time. The for- mula is complex enough to account for major con- siderations in allocation but simple enough to be easily evaluated, tested, and implemented. Be- cause one - factor and two - factor allocation for- mulas fail to account for the historic distribution or property tax revenues, a three - factor formula is suggested. The formula, though different for indi- vidual jurisdictions, basically includes need (popu- lation for cities and counties, average daily attend- ance for school districts), assets (assessed value), and past history (property tax received in a base year.) Since the point was to devise formulas that would closely replicate the historical pattern of changes in property tax allocation, the method of testing (reproduced in the report) compared re- sults of the formula with historical results. An actual community, Santa Clara County, was select- ed to examine how various formulas would affect property tax revenue distribution. Though no final formula is recommended, the report suggests use of present distribution as a base with provision for annual changes dependent on variations of a small number of simple, clear factors.

California's Proposition 13 reduced real estate taxes, removed the school tax from the property tax base, limited increases in assessments to 2 percent a year, and provided for reassessment only at time of sale. The law has benefited renters, many of whom received immediate rent reduc- tions. However, its effect on the real estate market is uncertain. In theory, the reassessment provision should inhibit the mobility of home owners. Howev- er, realtors, mortgage brokers, and builders be- lieve that the law has not affected the housing market. A study in Alameda County found that, cross - sectionally over census tracts, the turnover rate was not significantly influenced by common socioeconomic variables and that the best predic- tor of turnover rate is the average turnover rate. The experts feel that the threat of reassessment will not deter sellers from selling nor buyers from buying. However, reassessment may have a sig- nificant impact on nonresidential property transfer. Experts point out that provision of a steady 2 per- cent per annum increase does not reflect the reali- ties of commercial real estate. It cannot accommo- date low - cost improvements which increase rap- idly in value nor can it reduce taxes if property de- preciates. Experts also predict greater use of con- tracts of sale and unrecorded lease agreements to avoid the reassessment, unless buyers and sellers become convinced that assessors will become alert to such tactics.

This report, the first of two volumes, presents a lit- erature review and analysis of crime prevention and control strategies. It is part of an ongoing as- sessment and policy development process con- cerned with problems in public housing. The strat- egies were primarily developed for public housing developments, but are applicable to private hous- ing. Three categories of crime correlates relating to public housing - physical factors, social factors, and selected policies of the government and of local public housing authority management -- com- bine to form one human environment. These fac- tors consist of lack of surveillance, adequate locks, alarms, and adequate circulation patterns and transportation services and facilities (physical); lack of social organization, cohesion, and informal social control (social); and inadequate and unsta- ble government funding for preventive measures, ineffective coordination and communication with local law enforcement agencies, and ineffective anticrime management policy (policy factors). Sev- eral integrated crime - reduction approaches as proposed by Newman, Gardiner, Brill, Rosenthal, and the Westinghouse National Issues Center, are reviewed. Then five criteria suggested in literature as important crime - reduction strategies are ap- plied to these approaches. They include (1) use of data, mapping techniques, and systematic re- search methods; (2) treatment of social and physi- cal factors; (3) use of citizens as a crime - preven- tion resource; (4) use of a substantively integrated approach; and (5) emphasis on responsibility among the key groups.

This report describes the progress of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) during its fifth year of operations, October 1977 through September 1978. A full - scale housing allowance program has been mounted under Rand Corpora- tion s supervision in two midwestern metropolitan areas in order to learn about the effects of such a program on local housing markets. At the end of September 1978, the experimental housing allow- ance program had operated for 51 months in Brown County, Wis., and 45 months in St. Joseph County, Ind. Altogether over 20,500 households had been enrolled in the 2 sites and nearly 16,300 had received 1 or more allowance payments. Cur- rently, about 10,400 households are enrolled and over 8,700 are receiving monthly payments. In each site, current enrollees constitute 40 to 50 per- cent of all eligible households and about 8 percent of all households. The program has provided finan- cial assistance to renters and homeowners. The average payment is $77 monthly and amounts to 20 percent of recipients' gross income. Their allowances mainly help meet existing housing ex- penses. Nearly 8,500 dwellings have been re- paired or improved to meet program standards and about 4,400 households have improved their hous- ing circumstances by moving. About 260 renters have purchased homes after enrolling in the pro- gram. The report reviews key program statistics for the two sites, noting trends and major develop- ments, and summarizes progress in developing and analyzing data, but does not discuss research findings.

This handbook presents to smaller municipalities a system for measuring productivity. The practical approach to productivity measurement is stressed which looks at input in terms of direct cost accu- mulation, output in terms of workload, and results in terms of effectiveness. The Rhode Island De- partment of Community Affairs, under a Federal grant from HUD, tested the methods for smaller cities and towns to measure productivity as a method for improving accountability and reviewing productivity of all services. Two major approaches are suggested - performance reporting and direct costing. The manual assumes these local govern- ments are using manual recordkeeping systems. In implementing the approaches, cities should realize that selecting the measures to be used and accu- mulating direct costs are the most important steps. To assist smaller governments with this process, a 5 - step framework is given for managers and de- partment heads to select measures and implement reporting. Focusing on objectives, determining the appropriate level of measurement, and examples of some workload measures are emphasized. This is followed by a discussion of direct costing with specific forms and procedures finance directors can use to accumulate these costs. How one com- munity implemented such a system is described in detail. Lastly, concepts and methods of data col- lection are outlined. Illustrations and charts sup- plement the text.

This guidebook is designed to assist local govern- ment administrators in developing and implement- ing a strategy for development, based on a realistic assessment of the city's economic future; in man- aging a vigorous campaign to develop that poten- tial; and in marshaling the resources of the bu- reaucracy and private investors. Brief descriptions of how two cities developed economic strategies illustrate the range of conditions bearing on any potential development strategy and the types of strategies available. The Seattle, Wash., question- naire, used to survey businesses that either had moved out of or into the city is included to show one method for building a data base on which to assess a city's economic potential and then devel- op a strategy for realizing this potential. Similarly, Article 27 of the Fremont, Calif., Developmental Regulations is reprinted as an example of one city's effort to expedite building applications for de- velopment by requiring that they be approved by only one body, the Development Organization. The role of mayors in local development, as well as the mayor's relationships with developers, is dis- cussed. Also, methods of dealing with existing businesses and of organizing to carry out econom- ic development are described. Cities must ensure the cooperation of key actors in the local economy (i.e., bankers, industrialists, politicians, labor lead- ers), adopt a businesslike approach, maintain flexi- bility, assume risk, remain accountable to the public and the press, and maintain a bipartisan po- litical posture.

For local government officials, this guidebook dis- cusses the tools and techniques that might be used to work with the private sector in carrying out a local economic development strategy. Examples of programs in Philadelphia, Pa.; Dayton, Ohio; and Baltimore, Md., illustrate how marketing, financing, zoning, taxing, and other local government actions can be coordinated with HUD, the Economic De- velopment Administration, or local programs to achieve economic development objectives. The various tools and techniques in use in these three cities are described, with attention to their strengths and weaknesses. They include location marketing and marketing support, development fi- nancing, land assembly and improvement, zoning and permit facilitation, local tax incentives, project planning, leasing public space and facilities, and public service provision. Additional tools which may be applicable touch on public leasing and lease commitments, transportation facilities, con- vention / arena facilities, parking facilities, port facilities and waterfront development, and special 320 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT financing mechanisms (tax increment financing and special taxing districts). In addition, an over- view of Federal and State economic development programs acquaints the local government official with the array of available programs. Special con- siderations concerning the retention of the city's existing economic base are discussed as are rea- sons for outmigration of businesses and the groun- drules for a retention strategy.

In planning and implementing a local economic de- velopment strategy, local government officials can use this guidebook to discover how private inves- tors and developers make decisions, how local governments can help or hinder the private sector, and how local officials can attract qualified devel- opers to assist in strengthening the local employ- ment and tax base. Some key concepts in the de- velopment process involve different ways of realiz- ing a return on investment: profit arising from the sale of a property where price exceeds costs, actual cash flow generated by the operation of properties owned and managed by the developer, fees earned for organizing and managing develop- ment for others, syndication fees earned through the sale of equity shares to limited partners, and tax losses assignable to other income which can be used to reduce personal income. Characteris- tics of private development projects emphasize the situations developers find attractive, major actors in the development process (private devel- opers, lenders, equity investors, professionals, contractors, local public officials, citizen groups, and the Federal Government), and ingredients which make a project successful. Finally, a step - by - step examination of a specific development project outlines the following eight steps in the de- velopment process: market analysis; project identi- fication; site acquisition; project negotiation; plan- ning, design, and engineering; financing; construc- tion; and marketing.

Data on movement of blacks and whites between 11 large cities and their suburbs, from HUD's 1974 and 1975 Annual Housing Surveys, are compared with 1960 and 1970 census data. Recent studies have spotlighted white, middle - class returns to central cities. Although it is welcomed, resettle- ment of displaced poor blacks has become a con- cern, as suburban ghettos could result. However, HUD's study indicates that the white return is small, promising neither speedy inner - city revital- ization nor widespread displacement of the poor. There is more evidence of post - 1970 changes in black migration patterns, including the following (1) eight of the 1 1 cities studied show a net black emi- gration from the inner city; (2) in five cities, the above migration was accompanied by marked in- creases in black migration to the suburbs; and (3) in the remaining six inner cities, black emigration was well below white, although disparities between whites and blacks in the suburbs indicate that these areas are not yet equally accessible to both races. Although white populations have increased in the 11 cities since 1970, only Los Angeles shows sharp increases; whites in other cities seem merely to be moving out at a slower rate than in the past. However, young, white adults, 20 - 34, are moving into 7 of the 1 1 inner cities at above - aver- age rates, and inner city retention of them is great- er than among all other groups of whites com- bined.

Public awareness and expectations about the housing allowance program are examined for its first 2 years of operation in Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind. Data were collected from the attitude modules of the surveys of house- holds and landlords, the observations of project resident site monitors, and from records of tele- phone calls received by each site's housing allow- ance office. The analysis shows that the allowance program has become an accepted institution in both experimental sites. Early controversies among community leaders about local participa- tion appear to have receded without having gained the attention of the general public. Most residents know the program exists and view it either favor- ably or neutrally. Approval has grown with the spread of program recognition throughout the community. Landlords were initially less enthusias- tic than the general public, and in St. Joseph County the number of landlords who disapprove has increased. The program fulfills most clients' expectations. Both clients and the general public drew sharp distinctions between the allowance program and 'welfare' programs, viewing allow- ance recipients more positively than those on wel- fare. Noting the contrasting perspectives of com- munity officials and the general public in this matter, and appreciating that the views of ordinary citizens as well as civic leaders are often vital to the success of many programs, managers need to find ways to consult citizens directly. Features of the housing allowance program are described in the appendix, and a bibliography is provided.

Issues related to the development of multifamily housing in suburban areas of New Jersey are out- lined in this summary of a report by the New Jersey County and Municipal Government Study Commis- sion. Multifamily housing in New Jersey tends to mean either garden apartments or townhouses (high rise developments are a rarity and confined to a few communities). In the area of fiscal issues, findings are that (1) the multifamily development is often perceived as less favorable than it actually is; (2) most multifamily developments are fiscally more advantageous to a municipality and school district than are all but the most expensive single - family housing developments; (3) certain multifam- ily housing types, such as moderate - rent, three - bedroom apartments, are in themselves deficit producing; (4) expenditures increase as a result of increasing population and physical growth, with the type of housing having little effect on expendi- ture; and (5) the level of municipal expenditures per resident is primarily a function of community size and growth rate. Multifamily residents were found to contribute substantially to community social and political involvement. Recommenda- tions include that State assistance be available for provision of municipal infrastructure and facilities and for municipal service operating deficits, and that standards of planning for residential develop- ment be established.

Keywords: 'Housing studies, 'Characteristics, Surveys, Neighborhoods, Models, Socioeconomic status. An examination of the influence of neighborhoods, respondents' characteristics, and household attri- butes on responses to the 'neighborhood quality' items in the 1976 Annual Housing Survey (AHS) reveals that responses vary systematically by neighborhoods. Exploiting the clustering in the sample design of the AHS, researchers isolated 'neighborhood effects' by modeling the similarity in responses provided by neighboring respondents. Analytic devices were two regression models with no controls for neighborhood characteristics and a third model using predictors of socioeconomic var- iables - education, income, race, and (where sig- nificant) neighbor - and the neighborhood compo- nent N. A fourth analytic device incorporated the three socioeconomic variables, attributes of hous- ing units, rental status, structural problems, and monthly housing costs. A number of conclusions were possible (1) the within - neighborhood vari- ation in the overall neighborhood rating appears random, (2) more than a third of the variation in neighborhood rating is directly attributable to neighborhood differences, and (3) the scale of neighborhood quality is minimally sensitive to neighborhood differences and structural condition of the unit. Overall housing rating varies somewhat among neighborhoods and is modestly sensitive to variation in rental status and structural problems. Study limitations are discussed, mathematical models are presented, and notes and a bibliogra- phy are appended. PB80-173172 PC A09/MF A01 American Univ., Washington, DC.

By identifying the characteristics unique to the central city and by analyzing the economic and po- litical issues involved, this volume offers a frame- work for the development of a rational national policy to meet the urgent needs of the Nation's de- caying inner cities. As part of the Office of Policy Development and Research's efforts to provide relevant policy research, these background papers address resource scarcity and the need for con- servation and preservation, with particular empha- sis on the role of energy in urban development and the impact of rising energy costs. Signs of urban vitality and distress are discussed in light of citizen views on the quality of urban life (satisfaction with public services, the physical and social environ- ment, and the perceived role and capacity of gov- ernment). Analysis indicates that fundamental shifts in population and in the economic base of the city, as well as relative resource scarcity, have profound impact on the city's inhabitants and a sig- nificant long - term effect on how the city is per- 321 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ceived. Other papers examine the factors underly- ing such troubled aspects of urban life as employ- ment, poverty, income, and population change; the decentralization of urban economies; demographic and economic characteristics of urban house- holds; the physical deterioration in cities; urban fiscal distress; and administrative fragmentation. Finally, an overview of urban issues of the late 1970's encapsulates the problems discussed in previous papers - the decline in urban economies, the unmet needs of city residents, the incidence of physical deterioration, the persistence of fiscal dis- tress, and the inefficiencies of governments. Fed- eral and State options to improve urban life are also noted. Reference notes and footnotes are provided, with extensive statistical data, charts, and graphs supporting the text.

Experimental evidence from the full - scale hous- ing allowance programs conducted in Brown County, Wis., (an unsegregated market with a low vacancy rate) and St. Joseph County, Inc., (a seg- regated market with a high vacancy rate) make up this report on how the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment is affecting housing prices. The rec- ords of the first several years of program oper- ations and of systematic annual surveys of the rental markets in the sites reveal no significant price increases beyond those clearly attributable to national price inflation - especially rising energy prices. Those who expected substantial price ef- fects generally assumed faster program growth, more elastic housing demand by participants, stronger earmarking effects, and less elastic supply than was encountered in the field. The evi- dence concerning market stimulus, market effects, gross and contract rent increases, components of gross rent increases, contract rent changes for participants, gross rent changes in submarkets, local versus national and regional rent inflation, and rent increases for stayers and movers pre- sented in this report leads to the conclusion that housing allowances can be judged in terms of who participates, how much they benefit, and the costs of the program relative to alternatives; nonpartici- pants can be assumed to be unaffected by the pro- gram. Reasons why price effects have been small are discussed in detail; they include slow and grad- ual enrollment, small increments provided partici- pants, high rates of choices to repair housing rather than move, and demand shift and rent change not sensitive to these shifts.

Keywords: 'Construction costs, 'State govern- ment, 'Local government, Cost engineering, Housing planning, Land development, Land use, 'Housing. Over 400 experts and decisionmakers met in early 1979 to discuss high costs of land associated with housing production and to identify steps that State and local governments can take to stabilize or reduce these costs; this report is the product of that conference. It provides background material on land supply and development and, in addition, contains papers, speeches, workshop discus- sions, and a series of conference recommenda- tions. Much of the conference was focused on five workshops with the following themes: (1) improv- ing development standards in fringe areas, (2) in- creasing the supply of land inefringe areas, (3) im- proving the supply of land in fringe areas, (4) im- proving central city development standards and in- creasing the supply of land and buildings, (5) allo- cation of development costs, and (6) improving permit procedures. A research paper was submit- ted for each of the themes. Speakers and authors of research included HUD Secretary Harris, chair- person of HUD's housing committee, several rep- resentatives of local government, a private devel- oper, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, representatives of the Urban Institute and of the American Planning Association, and several university - based experts on urban planning and housing. Conference recommendations, based on proceedings and on a survey of 158 State and local officials and private sector developers who had attended the conference, and citizens, includ- ed these suggestions: (1) development costs should be allocated among persons and firms in the community according to the degree by which they would benefit from the service or facility, (2) permit procedures should be simplified and accel- erated through standardization, and (3) land use plans and public improvement programs should re- flect consideration of the impact of development constraints on land supply and housing costs.

Unlike most other housing subsidies, housing allowances are portable; this component of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment describes the influence of 'portability' on the residential mo- bility of allowance recipients during the experi- ment's first 2 years. It develops a new statistical procedure that analyzes 'censored' residential his- tories and applies the procedure to early mobility data. In the 2 experimental sites (Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind.), 9,100 house- holds received housing allowances during the first 2 years. Only 1,900 of these recipients (20 per- cent) moved while enrolled in the program. Statisti- cally transforming the data into annual probabilities of moving vary sharply with household characteris- tics and with the way the program's housing re- quirements were met. For about half the enrollees, the dwellings occupied at the time of enrollment met the program's standards; others were repaired after enrollment. Among eventual recipients, 14 percent qualified for payments by moving to an ac- ceptable dwelling. That group, fully two - thirds of all mobile recipients, is therefore dominated by those whose previous dwelling did not meet pro- gram standards. Influences on mobility include cer- tification of enrollment dwellings, renting rather than owning, the household's stage in the family life cycle, and tenure. Study data and equations are presented.

To facilitate analysis of the effects of an Experi- mental Housing Allowance Program, the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) divided Site II, St. Joseph County, Ind., into 86 neighborhoods and 8 general purpose analytic districts. This report describes the neighborhoods and districts and assesses the appropriateness of the district boundaries. Neighborhoods are residentially ho- mogeneous areas that vary in population from 2,000 to 4,000 residents and in size from 200 to 33,000 acres. Analytic districts are formed by ag- gregating neighborhoods into larger geographic units. Using an analysis of variance model on 5 de- mographic and 12 housing characteristic variables, researchers found that the St. Joseph districts ex- plain a small but statistically significant amount of variation in each of the demographic variables (total household income, age of household head, gross rent, race, tenure) and a larger amount of variation in the housing characteristic variables (property value per unit, land price, lot size, im- provements value per square foot, interior floor area per unit, construction year, neighborhood quality). Further, the districts appear about equally homogeneous, with South Bend, an area with a more varied ethnic population and household tenure, being the exception. Analytic districts, therefore, are useful for organizing HASE analyses of spatially distributed phenomena. Tables and an appendix are included. (Author abstract modified).

This report draws on research concerning housing market response to demand shifts conducted as part of the HUD - sponsored Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE), part of HUD's Experi- mental Housing Allowance Program. The monopo- listic competition theory of housing market behav- ior, when applied to HASE using experimental data to estimate the parameters, predicted that intro- duction of a housing program would cause shor- trun rent increases of only 0.6 percent and capital value increases of 1.6 to 6.5 percent. The analysis was limited to a high (0.5) income elasticity of demand and to rental housing. These theoretical limitations reinforced the conclusion that a housing allowance program does not cause rent increases that are relevant to housing policy. The theory also explains why vacancies exist and why rents change less than capital values as a consequence of demand shifts. Thus, application of the theory to HASE shows that the allowance program has not perceptibly increased rents, since vacancy rates at baseline were large enough to absorb most of the small demand shift. Further research is needed to examine the relationship between occupancy rates and rents using additional data, and to extend the theory by analyzing supply adjustment to longrun equilibrium. Four technical appendices and references are included. (Author abstract modified). PB80-173313 MF A01 National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing, Inc., Washington, DC.

Assuming a wide range of knowledge, experience, and sophistication among its readers, this guide stresses fair housing practices and enforcement as well as equal opportunity in housing. One major objective is to substantially broaden the base of active support for fair housing among those who are concerned but have not yet benefited from es- tablished - local - group experiences. It begins with discussion of fair housing law, Federal and State policy, and Federal enforcement history. Overall, the enforcement record, though having notable achievements, is quantitatively poor. Reasons in- clude the weakness of Title VIII as an enforcement instrument, diffuse enforcement responsibility, in- adequate resources and staff, remoteness of retail marketing of housing (done almost entirely by small, local business persons or private owners) from Federal agencies, and the absence of a sig- nificant volume of cases containing good evi- dence. To counteract these deficiencies, the guide offers a comprehensive local strategy and an action program; it also provides a detailed testing method for ascertaining fairness of housing prac- tices. Fair housing organizations should direct ef- forts at eliminating all kinds of discrimination - racial, sexual, national, etc., - along with practices such as racial steering. They should provide wronged persons with assistance necessary to combat unfair practices and obtain remedies. The guide assists these organizations by explaining how to build a constituency, marshal necessary re- sources, and formulate an action strategy to thor- oughly inform the public, encourage minority ho- meseekers in pursuing housing alternatives, col- lect valid evidence of unlawful practices, and take legal or administrative action where necessary. The complaint process is outlined from preparing complaint forms to investigation, approaching the respondent and class action filings, and finally to monitoring agreements and affirmative marketing plans. Appendices provide the HUD housing market practices survey (1976), references, lists of States with fair housing laws, and summaries of private litigation.

This report used a predictive model of homeowner repair expenditures to estimate how much more el- derly households would spend on home repairs if they received reverse annuity mortgage (RAM) payments of $600, $1 ,200, or $2,400 annually. The model is calibrated using data from the baseline survey of homeowners in Brown County, Wis., (1974) and St. Joseph County, Ind., (1975) - - the two sites of the Housing Assistance Supply Experi- ment (HASE). Repair expenditures are predicted as a function of household income, household structure, age of household head, education of household head, length of occupancy, property value, number of rooms, and age of structure. RAM payments are treated as additional income. Predictions are given for 15 categories of elderly households using coefficients estimated from HASE baseline survey data, as well as elderly household descriptors from U.S. annual housing survey data. There is a prediction for each house- hold type given its original income and the aug- mented incomes under the hypothetical RAM pro- grams. The estimated income elasticity of demand for repair and improvement expenditures falls be- tween 0.83 and 1.16 for elderly homeowners.

Data for this study involved the examination of 15 small claims courts in various parts of the country, selected to include examples of all major small claims procedural variations including limits on access to small claims courts, prohibition or per- mission of attorneys at small claims trials, the use of filing limits on small claims, and various degrees of court - provided assistance to litigants. The option of a hearing before a lawyer - arbitrator in- stead of trial before a judge was discussed, as was the use of lawyer - referees instead of judges, and limitations on transfer and appeal. In each court, 500 caseloads were randomly selected for analy- sis from the last half of the 1975 caseload of each court, for a total of 7,500 cases. Replies to ques- tionnaires sent to each plaintiff and defendant yielded 2,039 responses. The 5 major categories of small claims subject matter examined by the 15 courts included landlord - tenant disputes (12 per- cent), consumer plaintiff, seller plaintiff, property damage, and other. A detailed analysis of out- comes in landlord - tenant cases used two primary measures: victory rates and awards as a percent- age of claim. Several recommendations were given to help avoid unnecessary landlord - tenant disputes and to reduce existing tenant and land- lord problems with the small claims process. Legal misconceptions of the respective rights of landlord and tenant must be reduced and the development of standard lease forms, approved as to clarity, format, content, and comprehensiveness, would be one step in this direction. Other changes in leasing and rental property management ap- proaches include walk - through inspections and signed checklists of problems existing in an apart- ment, both at inception and termination of the lease; readable additional material on special issues (such as security deposits and maintenance for tenants); and a mutually agreed - upon method to notify the landlord of the intent to terminate the lease. Small claims courts also need to experiment with providing pretrial / in - court counseling, medi- ation, or arbitration resources. PB80-173362 PC A04/MF A01 RAND Corp., Santa Monica, CA.

This report presents and appraises the usefulness of a hedonic index for measuring services of rental dwellings in Brown County, Wis. A hedonic index 323 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT for housing is a regression equation that relates the attributes of dwellings (e.g., number of rooms, type of heating system, quality of the neighbor- hood) to the gross rent (rent plus payments for util- ities). It is used by researchers to measure serv- ices supplied by dwellings that are comparable across dwellings and over time. Using 1974 survey data collected as part of HUD's Housing Assist- ance Supply Experiment (HASE), the index con- sists of 17 attributes that describe the interiors and exteriors of dwellings and 6 that describe the loca- tion of the dwellings. The regression was found to fit the data well. It predicted the gross rent of indi- vidual dwellings with a standard error of $20 or 15 percent of average monthly gross rent ($137). The report confirms that the estimated prices satisfy the conditions necessary for dwellings to be treat- ed as if they provide homogeneous and compara- ble flows of services (i.e., that the attributes of dwellings are a composite commodity). It then pre- sents two ways the index can be used to study households' housing choices. The first is to deter- mine how to find bargains (the most effective way is through tips from friends); the second is to show the effects of renters' income on their consump- tion of four summary attributes - space, interior quality, exterior quality, and location. Findings indi- cate that higher income renters tend to buy 'better' rather than 'more' housing. They also live farther from the center of towns, preferring better neigh- borhoods to access. It is anticipated that the index will provide HASE with a useful analytic tool to study housing markets, household choices, and landlord behavior.

This study, carried out in conjunction with The Urban Institute, is designed to test the responsive- ness of housing supply to the increment of effec- tive demand provided by the housing allowances paid to low - income families as a means of improv- ing their housing standards. The major questions are whether this housing supply response will appear principally as increased housing services production or as increased prices, and whether the mix of these effects will change over time. A sub- sidiary but important question is whether a housing allowance program for low - income families would affect adversely other families competing in the same general markets for housing services. The experimental design must cope with six basic prob- lems and requirements: (1) changes in the flow of housing services that are difficult to quantify, (2) experiments that must create, on a small scale, the essentials of the market process, (3) stability of the increment of effective demand resulting from ex- perimental housing allowance payments, (4) suffi- ciently long observation of market responses to detect long - run trends, (5) experimental controls adequate to distinguish consequences of the housing allowance payments from consequences of independent background events, and (6) com- munication of results intelligible to experts and a broader constituency. The proposed design for the supply experiment requires the selection of small, urban neighborhoods (about 5,000 housing units) with well - defined geographical boundaries. These neighborhoods should contain mostly rental hous- ing and a population whose income distribution is such that half its households would be eligible for housing allowances under a national program. The report discusses measuring supply responsive- ness, designing an efficient experiment, anticipat- ing supply responses, and evaluating the design. Seven appendices are included.

Part of a much larger, more technical study on the housing conditions of various groups of Americans is summarized. Housing conditions are considered for the ethnic group composed of Central and South Americans, Cubans, Mexican - Americans (Chicanos), Puerto Ricans, and others of Spanish or Spanish - speaking origin living in the United States. Membership in this group, which is deter- mined by the survey respondent when he or she identifies the head of household, implies no racial or language criteria. Data for the report are from the Annual Housing Surveys for 1975 and 1976, collected for HUD by the Census Bureau. Tabular data are provided which measure the following housing concerns: (1) physical adequacy, which considers the availability of heating and plumbing, structural soundness, the availability of sewage disposal systems, and the maintenance of the living unit; (2) overcrowding, with a living unit de- fined as overcrowded if it contains more than 1 person per room; and (3) affordability, which meas- ures the ability of a family to pay for adequate housing, given the space it needs for its size. Find- ings are provided in narrative summaries. It is con- cluded generally that Hispanics have worse hous- ing than Americans in general; their housing is flawed particularly from deficiencies in mainte- nance and heating, followed by poor access to toilet facilities. The proportion of income paid for housing is greater for Hispanics than for the aver- age American, and the housing they live in tends to be older. Disparities among the housing conditions of Hispanic groups themselves were found to be greater than between Hispanics in general and the American public. Puerto Ricans live in the worst housing, with 27.1 percent flawed, while Cubans tend to live in the best housing, with only 9.8 per- cent of their housing considered flawed.

Data from the 1970 Census and from a national sample of households is also used to examine the relationships between selected housing market variables and local mobility rates. Study findings in- clude the following: (1) residential mobility is an im- portant aspect of behavior in a housing allowance program; (2) substantial variation across EHAP sites can be expected in the mobility of enrolled households during the experiments; (3) population mobility rates are not sensitive to local housing va- cancy rates or to the level of urbanization; and (4) mobility rates are highest in growing areas. Several conclusions are pertinent to housing allowances: (1) the relative importance of mobility and improve- ment in meeting program housing requirements will vary across EHAP sites; (2) growing areas would have an advantage in a national housing al- lowance program; (3) families can sometimes im- prove their dwelling unit without moving, but neigh- borhood improvement generally requires a move; and (4) for about 40 percent of the national pro- gram - eligible population who own their homes, housing improvement through mobility will The report includes gprovides three appendices show- ing data sources and variable definitions, census measures of geographic mobility, and further data analysis for the city of Pittsburgh, Pa.

This paper reports on the first phase of work in- tended to integrate findings of the Supply Experi- ment of the Experimental Housing Allowance Pro- gram and the Urban Institute Housing Market Model. Both were designed to aarket effects of housing policies. In 1974, a 10 - year housing al- lowance program was started in South Bend, Ind. Results of calibrating a housing market model for South Bend are presented, including three sets of estimated parameters. The first set consists of housing expense to income ratios by race and family type. This set approximates the proportion of income each group would be likely to spend on housing. Estimated values are presented for these categories: white nonelderly families, white elderly / single - person households, black nonelderly families, and black elderly / single - person house- holds. Secondly, calibrating the model also pro- duces estimates of (1) household willingness to substitute among dwellings of various sizes in re- sponse to price changes, (2) household prefer- ence for a wealthy neighborhood, and (3) house- hold preference for a racially homogeneous neigh- borhood. In South Bend, households are willing to adjust dwelling size in response to price change and they appear not to be as interested in neigh- borhood wealth as in racially homogeneous neigh- borhoods. The third set of parameters indicates the responsiveness of the housing stock to the price of housing services. In South Bend, simula- tions were performed using both an elastic and an inelastic set of supply parameters to test the impli- cations of a wide range of values. Based on these three sets of parameters calibrated for South Bend, a full - scale housing allowance program was simulated for the 1960 - 70 decade. Results show that 1 7.5 percent of the population of house- holds was eligible for the program, 71 percent of these chose to participate, and participants achieved substantial quality improvements in their housing. The report contains tabular data, foot- notes, and an appendix listing and describing the inputs to the South Bend application of The Urban Institute Housing Model. (Author abstract modi- fied).

Section 902 of the Housing and Community Devel- opment Amendments of 1978 directs the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development to (1) report on the nature and extent of displacement, and (2) submit recommendations for the formula- tion of a national policy to minimize involuntary dis- placement under HUD programs and to alleviate the problems caused by displacement due to pub- licly and privately financed development and reha- bilitation. This final report addresses the second directive. The study found that most displacement is the result of increased competition for housing in newly or prospectively desirable neighborhoods, and imbalances in housing supply and demand. Factors which stimulate reinvestment in older resi- dential areas are the relative costs of new and ex- isting housing units, the capacity of the housing market to meet the housing needs caused by in- creasing household formations, demographic trends in family size and employment, and con- sumer perceptions regarding the future costs and availability of energy. Displaced households are typically those with the least resources to cope with an increasingly competitive housing market - minorities, lower - income families, the elderly and female - headed households. Because of the com- plexity of the displacement phenomenon, the long - term solution to the displacement problem is to increase efforts to expand the supply of affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing for those groups who presently are inadequately served by the pri- vate sector. This can be accomplished by provid- ing additional assisted housing resources, target- ing discretionary housing funds to areas which have the most need, increasing efforts to modify Federal requirements which increase housing costs, dedicating surplus Federal property for housing construction, and providing incentives to State and local governments to devise sound anti- displacement strategies.

HUD- 0001157 Keywords: 'Housing studies, 'Rural areas, Minor- ity groups, Negros, maintenance, Public utilities, Income, Ownership. This account of the condition of housing in rural America is part of a HUD series on housing condi- tions and is based on the 1976 Annual Housing Survey and the 1976 Current Population Reports. Rural households are described as those found outside urban areas (on farms), in open country (nonfarms), and in communities of under 2,500 people. About 28 percent of all U.S. households are rural, and the majority are white. Most rural residents do not farm the land but do own their homes, which are usually 1 - family units on less than 10 acres. Although maintenance flaws are most frequent in nationwide housing, plumbing, sewage, and kitchen flaws are considerably higher in rural areas. Rural blacks live in the worst hous- ing, with nearly four times the rate of physical defi- ciencies as the housing of all Americans. Nearly a third of all rural black housing has plumbing flaws, and about a quarter suffers from sewage and kitch- en flaws. Maintenance flaws appear almost four times as often in rural black housing as they do in all rural housing. Overall, inadequacies of rural housing are due to lack of access to public water and sewer systems, income (particularly among blacks whose median income is half that of all rural households), and age of farm housing (over half was built before World War II). The amount of acre- age has the most effect on the probability of living in inadequate rural housing, although income and demographic characteristics also have an impact on the probability of flawed housing. In addition, when seeking standard housing on the open market, rural households more frequently must spend a larger proportion of their incomes for it than the general population.

This guide for prospective homeowners provides information needed when choosing an appropriate neighborhood, figuring costs, making specific legal agreements, dealing with the move into the house, and maintaining the purchased house. Sections of the guidebook describe information homebuyers should know and consider for each major step in the process of purchasing a home. For example, the decision to buy should involve consideration of the availability of houses versus apartments, space requirements, size of the present and future family, investment advantages, tax benefits, finan- cial credit, costs (financial risks and long - term commitment), moving difficulties, property taxes, and home maintenance. The search for a house involves choosing the right neighborhood, looking for houses on the market, and using a real estate broker. The next step entails negotiating the sales price, consulting a real estate lawyer, signing the purchase contract, putting down a deposit, and possibly signing other agreements. Following these preliminaries, the prospective homeowner must find financing, a process which includes shopping for a mortgage, investigating Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance pro- grams, taking care of all necessary appraisals and inspections, and examining other means of financ- ing. A description of the closing process discusses what to do before the closing, defines a closing and delineates closing costs, and lists ownership responsibilities.

Discussion focused on stabilization and financial innovation, housing and the fight against inflation, microfinancial and macrofinancial policies and housing finance, and selected research topics in housing finance. Participants disputed the tradi- tional view that housing is a countercyclical indus- try which exerts a stabilizing influence on the econ- omy. Rather, it was argued that housing has exert- ed a destabilizing influence on the economy, and macrostability requires stability in the housing sector. As a result of Government housing pro- grams and attempts to insulate the mortgage market from monetary policy, housing has become increasingly procyclical. Other major themes dis- cussed are the role of inflationary expectations in household behavior, distribution of benefits result- ing from Federal housing programs, inflation in the price of housing, and the affordability of homes. Ef- forts in housing research should emphasize ways to bring down housing costs. The major concern over escalating house prices revolved around the impact on the lender rather than on the borrower. Research also was recommended on the impact of such innovations in the mortgage markets as mortgage - backed securities, future markets, vari- able rate mortgages, and treasury bill certificates.

Subsequently, the model was brought to NASA where it was revised to focus on the identification and comparison of long-term regional and global energy strategies in the transi- tion period of 1 5 to 50 years from now. The possi- ble influence of any given energy strategy on the economy is evaluated in terms of capital invest- ment, manpower, materials, and natural resources that are needed to develop not only the energy supply system (ESS) but also the energy related sectors of the economy. This report describes IMPACT as it exists at NASA, explains the comput- er program, and includes a user guide for imple- menting this methodology.

Property Tax Relief for Housing Rehabilitation. Volume I Final rept. George A. Reigeluth, Ray M.

The study examines the effects of property tax ex- emptions and abatements on rehabilitation of houses in central cities. A renewed demand for urban housing has occurred during the 1970's, and many cities have instituted property tax exemp- tions to promote renovation and avoid penalizing homeowners for improving their properties. Using data collected from 28 cities with exemption / abatement prograrhs, the study compared the costs of capital created by tax relief measures to subsidies from other programs which apply to housing rehabilitation. It found that tax exemptions generated smaller subsidies for rehabilitation than did other programs such as historic preservation grants and investment tax credits. Previous studies have indicated that tax relief measures do not stimulate much investment in housing rehabilita- tion. A conceptual model was developed to test the impact of tax programs and factors such as neighborhood characteristics and household com- position on investment. Evaluation of the data using this model indicated that tax exemptions had little effect on investment and rehabilitation rates. The analysis shows that stable and upward transi- tional neighborhoods demonstrate more rehabilita- tion activity and participation in subsidy programs than do blighted areas. The study concludes that cities are losing tax revenues needlessly from ex- emption programs and should consider the alter- native of revising assessment practices so that they accurately reflect market values.

The first part of this two - part final report analyzes the belief that without the historic preservation pro- visions of the tax code, investors would have a stronger financial incentive to demolish historic structures than to rehabilitate them. The paper analyzes and measures tax liabilities prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1976 of two investors following one of two options, rehabilitation of a historic struc- ture or demolition followed by new construction. The next sections examine how the historic pres- ervation provisions of the 1976 Reform Act, the subsequent technical corrections, and other tax changes of the 1978 Revenue Act altered these liabilities. Each section contains a two - part analy- sis that examines the impact of the tax code on the investors' tax liabilities during both ownership and sale. The paper concludes with a discussion of public policy lessons for the rehabilitation of histor- ic structures. Part II of the report focuses on district designation as a major tool of historic preserva- tion, the advantages of this designation for induc- ing neighborhood rehabilitation, and evidence from a sample of 26 cities using historic preservation activities to stimulate rehabilitation.

Prepared for the Office of Policy Development and Research, this note reports on 250 home pur- chases made by low - income renters participating in HUD's Experimental Housing Allowance Pro- gram in St. Joseph County, Ind., and Brown County, Wis., during the first 4 years of the pro- gram. Although the long - term outcome of the renters is not examined, their participation in the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) in- dicates their initial resourcefulness in obtaining loans and mortgages. Because the HASE program only provided allowances, the participants sought additional funding through Government - insured loans and commercial banks. Consumer loans used to obtain mobile homes or low - valued homes were less attractive than the Government loans because of the former's higher interest rates and short - term provisions. Some homebuyers were compelled to purchase properties jointly with other households or to obtain loans from relatives. Although a number of the buyers moved within a few years of their purchase, none of them de- faulted on their loans. These facts imply that most of the buyers accurately predicted their ability to bear the cost of homeownership. Families with low income can buy houses if they follow such strate- gies as arranging land contracts with the seller, sharing the cost with others, obtaining Govern- ment - insured loans, and choosing lower - valued housing. Such strategies should be encouraged by official policies. Further research should consider the homeowners who became renters. Tabular data and references are provided.

Prepared for the conference on the housing choices of low - income families sponsored by the HUD Office of Policy Development and Research, this report draws on research conducted by the Rand Corporation as part of the Housing Assist- ance Supply Experiment (HASE). It shows how lower - income and higher - income families search for housing, how discrimination affects housing search, and how different search procedures affect a household's ability to find bargains as the household moves. The analysis rests on a para- digm of search behavior suggesting how house- holds conduct active housing searches and how those procedures affect their moves. Although households consider moving when they find their current housing to be inadequate, they will decide to move only if the perceived benefits of moving outweigh the costs. Events experienced during the search, particularly discrimination, may cause households to modify their initial search strategy or even abandon plans to move. Survey data on resi- dentially mobile renters indicate that search effort does not vary with income and that most renters, regardless of income, appear to favor a low - cost search strategy. Nonetheless, low - income fami- lies may encounter discrimination; this raises the psychological costs of the housing search and cre- ates dilemmas for the families. Results further show that advice from friends is more effective in finding housing than reliance on intense searching. The success of programs for low - income families may depend upon the types of relocation assist- ance offered to participants. Tabular data and a bibliography are provided.

The President's Inter - Agency Task Force on De- posit Interest Rate Ceilings and Housing Credit was charged with examining the nation's deposit interest rate control system and its effects on the flow of funds to housing, the viability of depository financial institutions, the types of holders of small deposit accounts, and the overall efficiency of the nation's financial system. The Task Force found that the pace of change in the financial markets was inexorable and that the principal burdens of reform involved bringing order to that process and effecting other measures needed to make such an evolution positive. Recommendations are as fol- lows: (1) the transition to market - determined rates of interest should occur over a sufficient period of time - 5 to 10 years - to allow depository institutions to adjust their asset and liability portfo- lios without serious interim disruptions; (2) all Fed- erally - insured depository institutions should be authorized to offer interest - bearing transaction account services in the form of NOW accounts; (3) authorization for all Federally - chartered Savings institutions to offer variable rate mortgages with appropriate consumer safeguards is desirable; and (4) all Federally - chartered savings institutions should be permitted to invest up to 10 percent of their assets in consumer loans. Specifically, the Task Force report summarizes study findings and policy recommendations; analyzes the interrela- tionship of interest rate ceilings, disintermediation, and flow of funds to housing since 1966; describes the history of the current deposit interest rate con- trol system's development; traces the evolution of public sector programs; and addresses the prob- lem of restructuring liability powers of thrift institu- tions.

European experience is examined regarding two types of housing subsidy systems for the elderly - production subsidies paid to the producer, builder, or owner of housing and consumer subsidies paid to the family irrespective of the place of residence. Consumer housing subsidies in the form of hous- ing allowances, rent rebates, and rent differentials have been an integral part of the European solu- tion of the housing problem of the elderly. Produc- tion housing subsidies, amounting to about two - thirds of total West European housing subsidies, constitute the main financial thrust of government policy, largely due to critical housing shortages. Production subsidies also ensure the construction of an adequate supply of cluster housing designed for elderly needs. Effective land use planning by local government is a further important aspect of the production subsidy approach. About three - quarters of those receiving consumer housing sub- sidies are pensioners. Their income, and hence their capacity to pay rent, are dependent on the prevailing benefit standards of the social security system. It has been proposed that the housing issue be viewed as an income issue, and that the consumer housing subsidy be merged with the old age pension. Tabular data and footnotes are pro- vided.

This report de- scribes the housing allowance office (HAO) proce- dures for reducing and controlling error in two met- ropolitan areas (Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind.,) in (1) means tests (which measure eligibility according to income, assets, and household composition, and specify the amount of the allowance), and (2) requirements (particularly, that recipients live in housing that is decent, safe, and sanitary). First, eligibility data are collected in personal interviews with applicants, who are asked to bring documentation of the infor- mation they provide (40 percent successful). All enrollment cases are checked twice for possible staff error, once by a certification specialist, and once by a computerized edit. Second, housing evaluations are conducted by trained evaluators. Computerized and manual reviews of their housing evaluation forms are supplemented by thorough, independent evaluations of a 5 - percent sample of all cases conducted by an evaluation supervisor. Citizens' reports of possible fraud are followed up by special HAO teams. An independent account- ing firm conducts full audits of HAO accounting and payment procedures each year. Records of errors caught and corrected in the course of normal operations, along with quality control and 328 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT audit data, are analyzed to estimate the rates at which errors are made and corrected. In Brown and St. Joseph Counties, HAO error rates were ex- tremely low. The effect of such controls on client dignity are minimal; however, the administrative costs of such procedures are rather high and war- rant further research.

Prepared for the Office of Policy Development and Research, this report analyzes dwelling repairs made by homeowners, tenants, and landlords in HUD's Experimental Housing Allowance Programs in Brown County, Wis., and St. Joseph County, Ind. The preliminary analysis of the extent and type of repairs relied on data from administrative records collected during the first 3 years of the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE), with spe- cial attention given to the first 18 months of data from a special repair and improvement report form instituted in January 1 976. Findings of the analysis indicate that two - thirds of the program enrollees make initial repairs to their dwellings, often at low cost, commonly doing the work themselves or en- listing friends and relatives. Despite performance by nonprofessionals, nearly all such repairs are ac- ceptable. Repair costs, therefore, do not appear to be the major barrier to housing improvement. The hazards detected in evaluations could usually be corrected without cash assistance, but enrollees are either unaware of the problems or are uncon- cerned about the consequences. Even after quali- fying their housing, enrollees make voluntary annual repairs to their dwellings of high visibility and consumer appeal. However, most such repairs are not responses to program standards. Members of special participant groups, including elderly and handicapped, successfully qualify their housing under program rules but increase their cash outlay by hiring professional contractors. The program demonstrates that low - income households and their landlords are able and willing to remedy hous- ing defects if given the means and motivation.

A study sponsored by the Office of Policy Develop- ment and Research evaluated the effect of coun- seling as a tool for reducing the incidence of de- fault and foreclosure. The evaluation focused on the activities of two HUD - certified counseling agencies in Fresno, Calif. Prepurchase counseling was conducted as a class, while default counseling was delivered on an individual basis. The period of the study, with respect to loans, was January 1970 through August 1974. The loan records and per- sonal characteristics of counseled mortgagers were compared with the records and characteris- tics of a control group of noncounseled mort- gagers from the same subdivisions. Those who re- ceived prepurchase counseling only were com- pared with those who were not counseled. The foreclosure rate, default rate, and the number of late payments of the prepurchase group was sta- tistically significant and lower than that of the non- counseled group at the 90 - percent confidence level. Delinquency and default counseling was not effective in reducing default or foreclosure rates from what otherwise would be expected to occur in the absence of counseling. Based on the analyzed data, no conclusion can be reached as to the ef- fectiveness of counseling as a generic activity. The Assistant Secretary for Housing and Management should consider initiating a limited number of care- fully controlled experiments to further test improv- ing default counseling.

Topics addressed include education, income, labor force participation, and geographic distribution of Hi- spanics; cultural aspects of Hispanic life; and housing conditions. A discussion of short - range solutions to the housing problems facing Hispanic communities emphasizes the necessity of Hispan- ic homeownership and increased funding for the government's rent supplement assistance pro- gram, as well as monies for public housing projects and renovations. Nonprofit organizations should be urged to start or continue advocating and devel- oping low - income housing. The Community De- velopment Block Grant Program should be moni- tored to ensure that Hispanics are receiving equal consideration and treatment. Other programs for migrants and the elderly are described. In addition, all levels of government and private institutions should provide resources for the extensive re- search and documentation needed to analyze fully why housing and community development pro- grams have failed to assist the Hispanic communi- ty. Overall, a broad social policy should be devel- oped to provide long - range solutions to Hispanic housing problems, and existing programs should be restructured, adapted, and reimplemented to have a more direct effect on the housing dilemma facing Hispanics.

To determine this, housing evaluators from the two experiments were asked to assess a common sample of housing units in each of the Demand and Supply Experi- ment sites. Results showed that differences in pro- gram standards as written and implemented caused the failure rates to differ significantly. These results suggest that each item in a set of housing standards should be carefully weighed re- garding its probable effect on the initial failure rates of units and the difficulty and cost of correct- ing the deficiency. The basic approach to the im- plementation of program housing standards in both the Demand and Supply Experiments should be reassessed with a view toward greater flexibility 329 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT and a better linkage between these standards and their ultimate objective -- insuring the health, safety, and general welfare of allowance program participants.

Lessons learned thus far from the Experimental Housing Allowance Program (EHAP) are identified and discussed. This program, involving over 23,000 households in 12 cities, provides housing allowances as direct cash subsidies. Allowances are based on income and family size and meant to help lower - income households obtain adequate housing at a reasonable cost. A primary finding of the experiment is that improved income alone does not achieve EHAP goals. In practice, house- holds receiving housing assistance payments spend their additional money primarily on goods other than housing, while households who would be forced by EHAP housing standards to increase their consumption of housing do not participate in the program. Assistance payments do have the effect of bringing units with minor deficiencies up to standard, and they also appear to result in better maintenance of units that are already standard. However, such payments do not generate sub- stantial repairs to the housing stock, revitalize neighborhoods occupied by the poor, or lead to greater dispersal of poor and minority households outside their traditional residential areas. EHAP re- sults suggest that the Nation should continue to promote its housing and urban development goals through a mix of programs which includes direct action to combat the nonresponsiveness of hous- ing markets, the inertia of decaying neighbor- hoods, and the legacy of discrimination.

Predictions are made about the 1980 outcomes of the Housing Allowance Supply Experiment (HASE) in Green Bay (Brown County, Wis.,) and South Bend (St. Joseph County, Ind.). They are based on Urban Institute's Housing Market Model, data about the two sites prior to 1975, and 1980 projec- tions of population, income, and housing costs. Predictions are compared to the first 2 years of program results and found to be consistent with the market effects predicted in previous simula- tions of housing allowance programs for the 1 960 - 1970 decade. Considerably more than half the eli- gible population participates in the program, and the average participant substantially increases his housing consumption. In Green Bay, where rapid population growth is predicted to have already forced the price of housing close to the price needed to elicit additional supply, the model finds little price increase from the program; however, in South Bend, which is losing population and ap- pears to have a decaying stock, the simulations find participants must pay sharply higher prices to obtain housing improvements. Neither enrollments nor demands for housing improvement show signs of rising sharply in either site; hence, there is un- likely to be much pressure on the existing supply of housing by 1980. One implication from the com- parisons is that the program participation and housing consumption responses of the model need strengthening. The true strength of the model cannot be evaluated precisely until accurate input data for 1 980 can be given the model and the analysis of the experimental data is completed.

Using 1970 census tabulations, researchers exam- ined specific characteristics of the 12 predomi- nantly urban Experimental Housing Allowance Pro- gram (EHAP) sites and then assessed the applica- bility of EHAP research findings to other settings. The study is based on the premise that the extent and nature of generalizations which can be drawn from EHAP depend in part on how the sites of the experiments compare with the nation's other urban areas. The comparisons are developed for two groups of site variables - those considered impor- tant in analyzing the responses of individual households to housing allowance, and those asso- ciated with allowance effects on the housing market as a whole. Research indicates that the success of program - eligible households in meet- ing allowance program housing standards is a positive function of their initial housing conditions and their potential mobility rate. With respect to ini- tial housing conditions, the comparisons show that the EHAP sites adequately characterize all urban areas except those with exceptionally severe sub- standard or overcrowded housing conditions. In examining housing market responses, the key area emphasized in site comparisons is the possible al- lowance - induced effect on the price of housing services. Because no two sites could possibly re- flect the variety of housing market responses to different forms of housing allowance programs, a concluding section of the study explains how the Urban Institute Housing Market Model may be of use in generalizing such EHAP evidence to other geographic areas.

A mathematical approach is developed for an- swering the question whether, as allowances permit rents to rise, tenants get more housing or landlords simply get a windfall. Dividing the relative change in housing quantity by the relative change in producer's markup gives the elasticity of supply - a precise measure of the supply response to housing allowances. If the elastity is large (consid- erable increase in quantity with little change in markup), then the program has had a good result. If the elasticity is small (little change in quantity but considerable increase in markup), then the result is not good. Either way, the experiment will be suc- cessful if this elasticity can be observed. The pri- mary source of data is the baseline survey of land- lords conducted in Brown County, Wis., (Site I of the Supply Experiment of the Experimental Hous- ing Allowance Program). Surveys show the relative change in housing rent, and the pricing indexes being assembled indicate the relative change in the price of inputs. In addition, alternative methods of measuring change in housing output are re- viewed. Details of the production function ap- proach for measuring change in housing output are examined; this method is judged to be reasonable because all relationships have plausible interpreta- tions, such as shared land and development gaps, and because the dual cost function is consistent with location theory. The appendix discusses the annual cost of housing and the price of improve- ments. Tabular and graphic data are provided, along with mathematical equations. References are included.

Reflecting changes which have taken place in the public housing program and the Nation since the program's inception in 1937, this inventory is com- posed of public housing projects of various sizes, ages, and location; housing complexes in various kinds of conditions; and housing which serves a variety of tenants. The study was to determine how many projects are in troubled condition, the kinds of projects that are troubled, particular problems faced by them; and to propose general strategies likely to resolve the major problems. A project was considered to be troubled if it had a high incidence of serious problems or if it was judged by a public housing specialist to be in relatively bad condition. About 7 percent (700) of the Nation's public hous- ing projects, representing about 15 percent (180,000) of all public housing units, were found to be troubled. A disproportionate number of troubled projects were found to be older (more than 20 years), urban, larger (more than 200 units), and oc- cupied by families. Neighborhood characteristics found to have a bearing on troubled projects were neighborhood racial composition, land use charac- teristics, crime levels, the adequacy of police pro- tection, the quality of schools, and the overall qual- ity and availability of social and community serv- ices. Financial, physical, managerial, and social problems were the categories of difficulties gener- ally faced by troubled projects. General proposed solutions are improvements in physical condition, management improvements (including project op- 330 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT eration and tenant - management relations), and neighborhood revitalization actions.

This booklet aims to inform possible purchasers and others interested in the condominium concept and to encourage condominium ownership. To help potential owners buy wisely, some negative factors are discussed. These factors may result from error or lack of understanding on the part of those who established the condominium, and they may be corrected. Questions to ask and points to consider when buying a unit are discussed. The potential purchaser should not hesitate to ask questions, should not sign any papers until all or- ganizational documents have been received and read, and should make no down payment until the mortgage loan is secured. Most important, the buyer should determine if the condominium is af- fordable and if all costs to be incurred are enumer- ated. Pitfalls and safeguards in condominium doc- uments are discussed, including the sales contract (subscription and purchase agreement), the en- abling declaration, and the bylaws. In considering the purchase of a condominium unit in a structure which has been converted from a rental or hotel operation, the individual should be aware that the buyer becomes not only the owner of a dwelling unit but also joint owner of the pipes, wires, and other common elements. If rehabilitation is neces- sary after the building has been converted, the new owners will have to pay the costs over and above their purchase price. Some of the many fac- tors to consider before buying are location, neigh- borhood characteristics, access to public transpor- tation and other amenities, age and condition of the property, and how it is now managed and main- tained. Finally, the condominium concept is dis- cussed in greater detail for those owners who become members of a board of directors or an owners' council. The Section 234 Condominium Program is also examined. Numerous illustrations complement the text; a glossary of terms and list of HUD regional offices are appended.

Methodology is developed and implemented that systematically incorporates Federal income tax provisions into the demand for owner - occupied housing. The tax deduction and exclusions availa- ble to homeowners are shown to reduce the price of housing services and to increase effective income as well. Data on households which re- ceived Federal Housing Assistance insurance to purchase new homes during 1972 were used to construct an effective housing service price index. The price index was derived from the combination of structure, land, and operating inputs in each dwelling, and from the tax calculation of each household. Demand parameters were estimated on the basis of the price index, effective income, and the quantity of housing services consumed. To estimate housing demand, the utility function was used, and a linear expenditure system demand function was derived from the owner - occupant's budget constraint. The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression technique was used to estimate both supply and demand relationships. The results clearly confirmed that tax benefits affect housing prices and owner - occupant consumption behav- ior. As income rose, factor input prices and hous- ing prices fell, and consumption naturally in- creased. The estimated elasticities of substitution between structure and land and between real estate and operating inputs were consistent with previous studies. Estimates of demand parameters were also consistent with results obtained from a sample of renter households but differed substan- tially from earlier findings for owner - occupants. This confirmed the hypothesis that if income taxes are ignored or misspecified, behavioral parameters maybe inaccurate. These newly estimated param- eters can be (1) applied to policy analysis by con- ducting Hicksian welfare analysis using a partial equilibrium model to calculate the relative costs of changes in tax policy or (2) used as inputs to met- ropolitan housing market models which simulate households' locational decisions under changing tax provisions. MacRae and Struyk's theoretical analysis is reviewed, and the study's methodology is amply illustrated in the text. References are in- cluded. (Author abstract modified).

HUD implemented the Federal Urban Homestead- ing Program as a demonstration in 1974 to assess homesteading as a strategy to rehabilitate housing stock in urban neighborhoods and to measure the impact of the homesteading effort on the host neighborhood. HUD's guidelines required that homesteading be part of a coordinated approach to neighborhood improvement; i.e., that it be com- plemented by other programs to improve facilities and services. However, HUD did not mandate spe- cific procedures for the operation of a local home- steading program, thus allowing each of the dem- onstration cities to design and implement its own program. The demonstration was then evaluated during April and May 1979 after 3 years of oper- ation by 23 cities. The evaluation covers local pro- gram administration (number of staff and their sal- aries, funding sources); legal issues and problems; selection criteria for homestead properties; costs, percent finished, and personnel needed for reha- bilitation of the properties; and methods for reha- bilitation financing. In addition, the homesteader selection process for each of the cities was stud- ied, as were the homesteaders' characteristics. Fi- nally, the effects of the urban homesteading pro- jects on the surrounding neighborhood were ex- amined. Recommendations state that cities should synchronize their homesteader selection and property selection processes to ensure that prop- erties do not remain vacant and that homestead- ers are not kept waiting. The criteria for property and homesteader selection should also be inte- grated for financial reasons. Local programs should encourage self - help repairs. Issues should be fully articulated in legal documents to eliminate confusion among homesteaders and time consum- ing delays. Finally, each local program should be required to maintain complete records on each homestead property, thus enabling local program administrators to detect problems and to take im- mediate corrective action.

This paper provides a guide to both published and unpublished research which describes use of the Annual Housing Survey (AHS) data to monitor housing conditions and needs, analyze change in housing markets, and target and evaluate public programs. It also documents limitations and con- cerns of which future users should be aware. The paper presents a brief description of the AHS, in- cluding the national AHS sample and the standard metropolitan statistical area AHS sample. Also de- scribed are the uses of the annual housing survey in the areas of monitoring housing needs; analyz- ing changes in housing markets; and evaluating, monitoring, and targeting programs. A discussion of AHS data limitations touches on its sample design, comparability of survey questions, geo- graphic aggregation, and unavailable information. Overall, the Annual Housing Survey provides an essential description of the current state of hous- ing in the Nation and its metropolitan centers and offers the basis for both current and longitudinal analyses of the strengths and problems in Ameri- can housing markets. Researchers have already used these data to address many social science and demographic concerns such as white flight, black suburbanization, displacement, and back - to - the - city movements. In addition, numerous Fed- eral agencies have made extensive use of the AHS and several of its supplements. Although the AHS needs improvement, many changes must be bal- anced against the constraints of cost and the de- sirability of maintaining continuity and consistency in the AHS services.

This paper examines the relationships between population redistribution and changes in housing tenure status from the national perspective. To do this, it uses data from the Annual Housing Survey. Research shows that (1) short - distance residen- tial mobility is the dominant type of household movement; (2) the probability of changing from renter to owner status in any type of area was greater for higher - income married households than for lower - income nonmarried households; and (3) migrating from suburbs to central cities or between central cities reduces the probability of buying a home for previous renters, while, in con- trast, residential mobility toward the suburbs of nonmetropolitan areas tends to have a positive effect on gaining homeownership. Previous owners who were single, separated, divorced, or widowed had a higher probability of becoming renters, along with young and low - income per- sons. Data show that the dominant stream of na- tional movement between different types of areas is still from central cities to suburbs, except for households consisting predominantly of newly formed families and singles. Moreover, the con- tinuous process of population dispersion has ex- panded beyond the boundaries of the standard metropolitan statistical areas, with those who pur- chased homes in the central city being central city renters. In suggesting a new dimension for urban policy, these findings illustrate that more emphasis should be placed on providing affordable and at- tractive ownership opportunities for present city residents rather than on attempting to attract pres- ent suburbanites.

This is the second phase of a two-part study, which summarizes an analysis of Transportation Sys- tems Management (TSM) and other low capital cost techniques to increase the productivity of urban expressways and streets in dense, build-up areas. Using CORSIM, a variant of the TASSIM land-use transportation model, this analysis exam- ines the benefits and costs of implementing alter- native combinations of TSM techniques and transit improvement policies. In Volume 1, the costs and benefits of implementing four alternative TSM poli- cies in Boston's central area were estimated. This volume focuses on expressway management poli- cies and transit improvements for Boston's South- east Corridor. Four TSM techniques: a contra-flow lane for buses; a concurrent-flow lane, ramp me- tering with bus priority, and automobile tolls, are considered in conjunction with five alternative tran- sit systems offering different combinations of travel times and fares. Also, the impacts of a park- ing surcharge were simulated for all central area commuters, along with the various toll and meter- ing policies. Of the composite policies tested, ex- pressway ramp metering with an average delay of nine minutes, assuming an improved bus transit system charges $0.7 per mile, is the most feasible cost-effective option.

Because of the growing interest in stormwater management, and particularly of the possibility of using detention basins for removing particulate pollution, it is important to determine the effective- ness of such basins for removal of various pollut- ing substances. In the study reported upon, sam- ples of urban runoff were allowed to settle in a large tube, and the quantity of each pollutant set- tling in a given time period determined. There was more variability in rate of settlement of specific pol- lutants than for total suspended solids. Lead and hydrocarbons settled out 60-65% in 32 hours, only slightly slower than total suspended solids. BOD and copper were removed at somewhat lower rates, and zinc even lower. Coliform counts were reduced by an order of magnitude. These results indicate the probable effectiveness of retention of stormwaters in removing particulate pollutants.

Local and Regional Environmental Loading: An Ecological Assessment (ECA) Tax as a Substi- tute for the Local Property Tax Thomas C. Edens.

The paper discusses the conceptual development and implementation plan for an ecological assess- ment (ECA) tax designed to improve allocation and utilization of natural resources. The ECA tax would be determined on the basis of unique ecological characteristics of an area, homogeneous areas being identified within a discrete political unit. A step-wise adjustment procedure to implement the ECA tax is described and illustrated. The ECA tax is envisioned as a substitute for property taxes at the local level while maintaining many elements of existing property taxes. Components of use ratio estimates are listed together with suggested tax credits. The ECA tax scheme has the advantage of regional and local specificity. Since it is a replace- ment for an existing tax, ECA probably would en- counter less public opposition than implementa- tion of a new scheme.

The amended Revenue Sharing Act and the Office of Revenue Sharing's quality control efforts are benefiting State and local governments by requir- ing State audit agencies and public accounting firms to upgrade their auditing standards. Some governments will receive their first independent audits while others are taking steps to improve their financial accounting systems. Due to the time required to revamp their audit operations, some State agencies with substandard audit practices will not be able to complete acceptable audits in a timely manner. GAO therefore recommends that the Congress amend the Revenue Sharing Act to provide waivers to governments audited by these State audit agencies. GAO also recommends that the Secretary of the Treasury take steps to im- prove the Office of Revenue Sharing's statistical control system for the 11,000 audits required by the Act.

The paper analyzes targeting methods used in the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) community facilities loan program, particular methods used in a set-aside of funds within the program, and the attitudes of FmHA personnel across the U.S. It was discovered that several data sources other than the U.S. Census are being used, while 75% of the top program managers (community programs chiefs) in the FmHA State Offices support the con- cept of targeting. Program data related to project sizes and costs is also presented which shows that the average community facilities loan is decreas- ing in size, indicating more projects are being fi- nanced and more rural people are being served. The paper recommends six specific areas of con- cern: (1) allocation of funds to the FmHA State Of- fices (2) targeting efforts by the FmHA District and State Offices (3) the FmHA State Management Plans (4) involvement of the National Office staff in the State Management Plan process (5) alterna- tive targeting measures which can be used and (6) continuous emphasis on the implementation of tar- geting.

Four major issues are analyzed: (1) What is the role of capital in state economic development. (2) When do capital mar- kets fail to make funds available to the enterprises which can use them most productively. (3) How can state governments influence the allocation of capital. (4) How well have specific capital market policies at the state level performed. PB80-184971 PC A04/MF A01 Council of State Planning Agencies, Washington, DC.

The publication asserts that the challenge of the 1980s is to make state government an active en- trepreneur-or helper of entrepreneurs. The report calls for state economic development efforts to de- emphasize assistance to large firms and to turn state activities toward retention of existing busi- nesses of all sizes, promotion of growth industries already in a state, a manpower system that legiti- mately connects applicants with jobs, and finally, the nurturing of brand new industries.

The report states that many state government offi- cials justify their approach to economic develop- ment on either or both of two grounds: (1) that tax relief and business subsidies will actually help gen- erate jobs and reduce employment problems; and (2) that there are no other alternatives to public support for private business in the employment area. This essay disputes that policy orientation. It argues that state government relief and subsidies for private business will not reduce and may even intensify many state employment problems. It also argues that other approaches, centered around public support for and management of non-profit, locally-controlled community economic develop- ment programs, are possible and hold much great- er promise for moderation and eventual solution of current employment problems. It argues, in short, that a careful analysis of state employment prob- lems suggests that need for a dramatic re-orienta- tion of state government policies toward economic development.

Guidelines and procedures are developed for specifying the location and spacing of sensors needed and used by algorithms which detect free- way incidents. The sensor placement problem is considered for each of the following geometric fea- tures: freeways containing only level, tangential sections of roadway with on and off ramps; free- ways containing weaving areas of between 1000 and 3000 feet (305 and 914 M); freeway segments containing a change in the number of lanes; and freeway segments with a change in the alignment. The guidelines and procedures permit the user to determine the optimum spacing of sensor stations given the roadway geometry, the funding available for sensor installation, and the requirements for in- cident detection algorithm performance. Major em- phasis is placed upon assessing the tradeoffs be- tween cost and effectiveness of a variety of candi- date sensor configurations.

This review of citizen impact on development around the Nation indicates that there are clear al- ternatives to the past negative standoff scenario. At the forefront of the growing citizen participation movement are three new departures, grounded in conciliation rather than confrontation, and general- ly supportive of new development. They are: nego- tiated development of large enterprises; a new form of community economic development deci- sion-making particularly appropriate to rural boom towns; and public-private enterprises to promote a greater level of community self-reliance.

The report summarizes a two task effort which is part of the National Bureau of Standards evalua- tion of the Federal Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standard. The first task consists of a review of relevant anthropometric data from which egress requirements might be drawn. The second task is an empirical study of egress designed to generate data which can assist HUD in evaluating the exist- ing size requirements for egress devices. The degree to which the requirements in the current standard for location and operating characteristics of egress device latches and other operating mechanisms are acceptable varies for different segments of the population at risk. The limited ap- plicable anthropometric data suggests that the re- 334 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT quirements are sufficient for the most part, for average, healthy, normally ambulatory adults. The minimum opening size requirements were also shown to be acceptable for average healthy adults under most conditions tested. However, devices which meet the maximum sill height allowed by the standard were shown to be extremely difficult to negotiate or unusable by a significant portion of the experimental test subjects. Implications of the present egress requirements for escape by handi- capped or otherwise impaired individuals are dis- cussed.

The resource packet offers elected officials some ideas for coping with the fiscal pressures on their governments. A series of questions helps assess the specific problems of their jurisdictions. A sec- tion on revenue management helps clarify the issues at stake in determining the revenue mix for the citizens in their jurisdictions. The latter covers those factors that affect a community's ability to raise revenue and offers suggestions for officials who are seeking new sources of financing and trying to use existing sources more productively. Another section focuses specifically on user fees as one revenue option which allows citizens to pre- scribe levels of service in the marketplace through their willingness to pay. It charts the positive and negative sides of the public price system and pro- vides a brief discussion on the issues. A section on controlling expenditures points out the detrimental long-term effects of both across-the-board cuts and wholesale elimination of entire programs. To avoid these approaches, officials should use this packet guide to set priorities, examine options ra- tionally, identify areas in which expenditures can be reduced or eliminated, and then approach the public in a positive way designed to encourage their understanding and support. The packet also includes examples of counties which have institut- ed successful productivity improvement programs and cost-cutting measures.

In the next 3 years, approxi- mately 860 additional units will be converted. How- ever, this level of conversion does not pose a threat to Baltimore's rental housing inventory. Present State law does not require developers to give tenants the first chance to buy units they occupy, although developers normally do this.

The report analyzes the economic impact of state capital spending and suggests new ways for states and local areas to ensure that their public facility investments promote a state's economic develop- ment. The central purpose of a state's capital budget is to guide the overall allocation of state expenditures for public facilities. To ensure that capital expenditures are firmly rooted in the state's overall priorities, the public facility plan should be part of a comprehensive state development strat- egy where economic development is but one com- ponent along with education and health care, energy, natural resources, and many others. The report is a guide for state officials and others who need to understand better how state investments impact an economy so that they can direct their investment decisions to produce the desired eco- nomic consequences.

The report is the second in a series of four reports presenting the findings of the Experimental Hous- ing Allowance Program, which examines the in- traurban residential mobility of low income house- holds. An economic model of benefits and costs is developed and estimated with a group of control households from the Housing Allowance Demand Experiment. The household is viewed as basing its decision to undertake the mobility process on the net gain from moving. This net gain is the present value of the future stream of the equivalent con- sumer's surplus over the expected tenure in the unit providing the optimal level of housing services minus the costs associated with mobility. These costs include out-of-pocket costs of searching and moving, loss of length of tenure discounts, loss of information capital for out-of-neighborhood movers, and psychic costs. The primary finding is that households do base their mobility decisions on the economic gains and costs associated with mobility. Both the decision to search and the deci- sion to move are found to be consistent with eco- nomically rational behavior. However, the average expected gain from intraurban relocation is about 2 percent of average income. Tabular data, appendi- ces, and references are included. PB80-189905 PC A05/MF A01 Schaffran (E.

To gather data for this report on condominium con- version for the City of Alameda, CA, the authors interviewed persons in 24 condominium and rental projects, city officials, and building owners and managers. They also drew on studies of assessed valuations and rental vacancies, obtained legal and engineering advice, contacted other cities, and analyzed the housing market. They found a strong economic incentive in the condominium conversion process for both the developer and the purchaser, but also suggested that the process might pose some problems, particularly for the el- derly. Recommendations included a city definition of objectives regarding future levels of population and housing and the development of a housing element, required by State law, as part of the gen- eral plan.

The present Master Plan effort was initiated in March 1975. It was undertaken with some urgency because of the pressing desire on the part of the Federal Government to complete transfer of the facility and to be relieved of its obligation for the idled properties. The re-use strategy for Ramey Air Force Base was primarily-one of economic devel- opment and employment generation within the context of curtailed Commonwealth financial re- sources. This strategy was shaped by the potential of Ramey's extensive facilities and the imperatives of Puerto Rico's regional and island-wide transpor- tation and economic development needs and ob- jectives.

This report addresses city government frustration in developing conservation plans and energy man- agement strategies caused by inadequacies of staff, finance, and interagency coordination. One paper describes the planning process of the Southern Tier Regional Council in New York State designed for bringing energy problems and policy- making down to the local level. Another calls on the Federal Government to provide incentives for local government action, especially in the form of funds for energy conservation planning, supplied free of institutional barriers and penalties. Another contribution explores the relationship between the rebirth of cities and the journey to work and ana- lyzes the potential implications of these phenom- ena in terms of higher energy costs. A paper on the high costs of heat views this expense as a new threat to city neighborhoods and calls for neigh- borhood education and outreach programs to in- clude onsite energy counseling for inhabitants along with energy audits and technical assistance programs, while another presents ideas for ad- vancing conservation features in the building in- dustry using a series of incentives and regulatory policies. The final contribution examines the impact of environmental regulations, taxation, and the cost burdens on potential utility customers in the demise cogenerational systems for supplying energy. This symposium is representative of the range of efforts underway throughout the country to help local communities control their energy fu- tures.

Two demonstration projects were built as author- ized by Section 113 of PL 92-500. Modular con- struction was used to provide central utility sys- tems which included water supply, laundry, bath- ing, saunas, and wastewater treatment. Service to homes was by vehicular delivery. Fire destroyed the facility at Wainwright in 1973 and the project was subsequently rebuilt. Energy conservation measures were employed to minimize costs of op- eration. Equipment performed satisfactorily, but operator preparedness was lacking, thus, many breakdowns occurred. Overall cost of operation and maintenance of the facilities nearly exceed the financial capacity of the communities. Ownership of the facilities was transferred to the local govern- ment by the EPA. The AVDP was paralleled by pro- jects built by the Alaska Department of Environ- mental Conservation (ADEC) at 1 1 locations.

Zero-Base Budgeting (ZBB), a budget innovation of the 1 970's, is defined as a method which formal- ly considers reduced levels of expenditure rather than proposed increases above current expendi- ture levels. The distinctive purpose of ZBB is to determine whether an activity warrants continu- ation at its current expenditure level or at a differ- ent level, or should be terminated. The ZBB format provides for the submission of budget requests at alternative funding levels, and for the priority rank- ing of activities in successively increasing levels of funding, starting from a level below the current level. The report presents the findings of the Na- tional Association of State Budget Officers survey. The focus is on the formalities of budgeting, such as the requirements for filing budget requests and methods of review. The report tries to gauge the progresses of zero-base budgeting in the states, as perceived by state budget officers. The data are based on the perspectives of budget officers rather than on the views of the participants, pro- gram managers, or operating agency heads.

Many transit operators have a need for an evalua- tion system which can measure existing service performance. To assist these operators, UMTA has been funding, through its Section 8 Technical Studies Program, local studies in service evalua- tions. The purpose of these studies is to evaluate existing transit service and to develop recommen- dations and plans for service improvements. This document summarizes the local evaluation study of the transit service provided by the Berkshire Re- gional Transit Authority (BRTA) in Pittsfield, Mas- sachusetts. The purpose of the study was to review and evaluate the current transit services provided by the BRTA and to develop recommen- dations for service modifications which utilize low cost techniques to improve operating effective- ness. In this study, emphasis is on the three new routes in Pittsfield, the overall fare structure, and the priority locations for bus stop shelters. To col- lect the necessary information for this evaluation, a loading survey was conducted. This survey pro- vided information on maximum loading, hourly ri- dership, passenger miles of travel and average trip length by route. The report serves as an excellent example of service evaluation within a small transit system. PB80-196975 PC A03/MF A01 Texas Univ. at Austin. Dept. of Economics.

This three-phase study has developed measures of effectiveness (MOE'S) for Transportation Sys- tems Management (TSM) strategies. In Phase I, hierarchical schemes of TSM strategies and tac- tics and comprehensive goals and objectives were developed. MOE'S were then identified which could measure the degree of attainment of each related objective through the implementation of a given tactic. Data sources, field measurement pro- cedures and modelling techniques were then iden- tified for measuring or estimating each MOE. In Phase II four case studies were conducted to test and illustrate the methodology and to demonstrate the effectiveness of a variety of TSM strategies. In Phase III sampling and data collection procedures for some of the most commonly used MOE'S were developed. Also, manual and computer modeling procedures for modal split and network analysis were studied and recommendations on their appli- cability to TSM analyses were developed. This volume has been written as a stand-alone guide for practicing engineers and planners who are en- gaged in the development and evaluation of urban area TSM plans. The guide provides a consistent framework for TSM strategy development, recom- mends measures of effectiveness for TSM strat- egy evaluation and identifies and demonstrates manual and computer techniques for TSM analy- sis.

The purpose of Recycling Neighborhoods is to show the methods and tecniques Texas communi- ties have chosed to implement the mandate of Congress to encourage the preservation of exist- ing housing and neighborhoods. Those vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and from city to city. The catalog has been designed to be general enough to enable communities to understand the financial approaches utilized by those cities catalo- gued. This is especially true for communities unfa- miliar with rehabilitation programs. Although these financial techniques are presented generally, the method of implementing the various financial pro- grams administratively are more specific to graphi- cally show how the programs are locally carried out. This detail should enable cities with estab- lished rehabilitation programs to make variations and refinements based on techniques utilized by other cities included in the catalog. Communities with on-going rehabilitation programs might also make use of the catalog to expand their present neighborhood preservation activities into other types of innovative approaches.

Keywords: 'Environmental impact statements, 'Noise, 'Explosions, Biological effects, Blast ef- fects, Environmental effects, Human populations, ERDA/530300, 'Noise pollution. Guidelines for preparing environmental impact statements on noise were recently assembled and submitted for agency reviews. Acousticians have made considerable progress in unifying their con- cepts for prediction, measurement, and assess- ment of injury and annoyance resulting from many kinds of continuous tone noises. There have also been numerous attempts to transform impulse type noise parameters into regular acoustic terms, particularly for evaluating explosion waves and sonic booms. For low overpressures from explo- sions, well below the eardrum injury threshold of 35kPa (5 psi), environmental concern is primarily with minor damage thresholds, rather than annoy- ance from single events or events widely spaced in time. Low frequency components cannot be ig- nored in this context, so a compromise has been reached in the guidelines. Blast wave analyses, rather than acoustic analyses, will be made when sound pressure levels above 140dB (200Pa, 0.03 psi overpressures) are expected. A conservative evaluation, relating an explosion yield limit to ex- posed population and distance, has been devel- oped to allow simple decision-making, regarding the analysis system to be used. This paper de- scribes the derivation of this yield-limit relationship. (ERA citation 02:01 1209) SAND-76-8622 Not available NTIS Sandia Labs., Livermore, Calif.

Sandia Laboratories is performing an environmen- tal assessment for the Nuclear Regulatory Com- mission to ascertain the impacts produced by the transportation of radioactive materials near and through a large, densely populated area. Radiolog- ical, nonradiological and economic environmental impacts due to the transportation of all radioactive materials are considered, excepting those related to weapons, weapon components, or shipments on military vehicles. Although New York City is being studied initially to execute the methodology as a function of a real, complex urban environ- ment, the assessment model developed is general in its basic content and is suitable for application to any urban area. Radiological consequences are being computed for cases involving "normal" and accident conditions. In the "normal" case, nothing unusual takes place, but small radiation doses are still received by nearby people. In the accident case, dispersion of possibly released material away from the accident site is considered. In addi- tion, impacts due to deviations from quality assur- ance practices, as a result of human error, are being calculated using the assessment model in a special manner. Certain aspects of sabotage and diversion are also being investigated for an urban setting. Radiological consequences are being quantified in terms of human health effects and de- contamination costs. (ERA citation 03:013168) SAND-77-0936C PC A02/MF A01 Sandia Labs., Albuquerque, N.Mex.

A multicompartment ventilation model has been presented for the calculation of airborne radioac- tive material concentrations internal to structures. The model was used to estimate the potential ef- fectiveness of sheltering in reducing the dose due to inhaled radionuclides. The sensitivity of the model to parameter values and protection strate- gies was discussed. Using "best estimate" values for the model parameters, this analysis indicated that sheltered individuals received a reduction of 35 percent in the dose from inhaled radionuclides. Larger reductions would be possible if lower values of the ventilation rate n, could be achieved by either tighter building construction or emergen- cy sealing of openings in the structure. Such emer- gency means could include taping windows, plac- ing wet paper over cracks, etc. Further analysis in- dicated that the strategy of opening doors and win- dows, turning on ventilating systems, etc., in an at- tempt to "air-out" the structure after the cloud of radioactive material had passed will most likely not contribute significantly to reduction in dose due to inhaled radionuclides unless very low initial ventila- tion rates are achieved. Although the available data did not allow quantitative predictions of dose reductions afforded by basements or other appro- priately sealed-off rooms, preliminary analysis indi- cated qualitatively that they could be significant.

The major thrust is to evaluate the incremental cost/benefit of radiation- processing an already dried or composted munici- pal sludge. However, the larger question of other sludge disposal options and their costs must also be considered. The current cost of trucking and trenching sludges in the Washington, D.C. area averages about $250/dry ton. If composting at $30 to S50/dry ton and radiation-processing at $1 8/dry ton results in a socially acceptable and pathogen- free product given away free, the city of Washing- ton could save $182 to S202/dry ton processed. Such reduction of the negative balance in munici- pal budgeting for sludge disposal appears to be an objective worth pursuing.

The primary purpose of this report is to provide timely and practical information on the lessons learned from and the problems en- countered to date in state incentive programs for solar energy diffusion, adoption, and commercial- ization. The secondary intent of this SERI program is to identify those research areas within the broad spectrum of implementation experience which re- quire more-extensive future examination to im- prove the effectiveness of state solar energy in- centive programs. The focus of this study is the implementation of official state solar energy incen- tives programs. Questions of incentive design and program effectiveness are addressed in certain portions of the text, but the bulk of the research effort is directed toward examining how laws and legislative mandates have been transformed into rules, regulations, eligibility criteria, standards, comprehensive land-use plans, grants, tax deduc- tions, and demonstration projects. Most of the pro- grams discussed will be official governmental ac- tions, although the roles of private groups, adviso- ry councils, and universities are addressed. Pro- grams were examined in Arizona, California, Flor- ida, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, and Oregon.

This report examines the experience of selected states in implementing financial incentives for solar energy. While the range of available fiscal mechanisms is surveyed in Section 3.0, the em- phasis throughout this report will be upon major in- centives - those which possess the potential to have a significant impact on the rate of installation of solar energy systems, either through a reduction in the market cost to buyers or through the removal of a legal or institutional bar ier to the use of solar energy systems. The objective of this study is not to judge the design of state incentive programs or to criticize the activities of rule-setting and adminis- tering agencies. Rather, the emphasis will be on gathering, assessing, and disseminating informa- tion resulting from the practical experience of offi- cials in pioneering states. Specifically, the focus is on what factors are important for the translation of a law into a workable solar energy financial incen- tive program. It is hoped that this information will be useful to officials of states contemplating the adoption of incentives of solar energy, to state offi- cials considering the modification of existing incen- tives, and to federal policy analysis seeking to pro- mote the diffusion of solar technologies.

A comprehensive survey is presented of state stat- utes designed to encourage the application of solar technology. A large majority of the states have enacted financial incentives designed to stimulate solar energy use. Commonly, these in- centives include preferential property tax treat- ment of solar systems, and income tax benefits to solar users. There are a wide variety of other tax breaks as well, including excise and franchise tax incentives. Some states have recently developed loan or grant programs for solar installations. Other states have addressed aspects of real prop- erty and land-use planning law, which have served as barriers to either the installation of solar tech- nology or access to sunlight. In addition to remov- ing such obstacles as restrictive convenants and zoning limitations, the legislation of several states provides affirmative recognition of the potential of real property law to serve as a spur to solar devel- opment, through solar easements, planning and zoning, and public nuisance. A small number of states have legislated in the field of utility regula- tion, addressing important questions of (1) nondis- criminatory rates for utility backup to solar systems and public utility commissions, and (2) utility in- volvement in solar energy applicatons.

Solar legislation may 1) stimulate research and de- velopment, 2) encourage solar installation by gov- ernmental incentives, or 3) contribute to the elimi- nation of institutional barriers. Legislation that at- tempts to deal with a wide range of problems will touch many different departments and agencies in state government. Proper administration is essen- tial to the effectiveness of such legislation. The Federal Government is also involved in extensive programs to foster the commercialization of solar technology. The programs and standards that they evolve create another set of administrative rules and regulations that the solar manufacturer, seller, installer, or consumer has to face. This paper fo- cuses on the experience of California, Oregon, and New Mexico, and suggests methods to avoid ad- ministrative difficulties that have slowed some solar initiatives. Several common problems are identified: inadequate definition of important terms, ineffective delegation of administrative responsibil- ities, and insufficient coordination with other state and federal solar programs.

A services integration demonstration project un- dertaken from October 1971 to July 1974 in Glas- gow, Montana is described. In the course of the Glasgow Services Integration Targets of Opportu- nity (SITO) project, social services provided to a sparsely populated, rural five-county area by county welfare departments were taken over by a Social Service Agency (SSA); financial assistance functions remained with the counties. The project 342 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT emphasized the utilization of paraprofessionals from within the community, and attempted to in- crease accessibility of services by providing trans- portation to SSA offices and to other agencies, physicians, stores, and community activities. Fol- lowing a presentation of conclusions and recom- mendations regarding the Glasgow project, a gen- eral discussion of the services integration concept is offered. The Glasgow SSA is described in detail, including its goals, objectives, organization and problems encountered. Chapter 4 discusses serv- ices integration linkages in Glasgow. The most successful of these involved the informal case co- ordination activities of some SSA paraprofession- als; co-location and joint use of SSA space and staff by circuit-riders from other agencies; and in- formal, ad hoc cooperation of developing addition- al service programs for communities within the Glasgow district. Chapter 5 describes other rural SITO projects, followed by a discussion of services integration strategies and linkages in these pro- jects. The appendices present definitions of inte- gration and linkages, a description of study meth- odology, and a bibliography categorized by State. Portions of this document are not fully legible.

The first of a six-volume series describing the de- velopment and implementation of a demonstration services integration project in Duluth, Minnesota, presents an overview of the concepts underlying the system developed, a general description of the system, and a summary of the technical products which are potentially transferable. Information is also presented to facilitate community decisions on transferability. Chapter I presents the basic concepts, describes how each of the technical tools developed relates to these concepts, and provides a perspective on what the demonstration in Duluth has taught about these concepts and tools. These technical components of the system include a problem / service taxonomy; a human services information system including an agency survey and a community needs survey; and an in- formation and referral service. Chapter 2 dis- cusses the potential utility, feasibility of transfer, and implementation steps necessary to transfer the entire system or individual components to other communities. Chapter 3 presents the Pro- ject's experiences and implications for Federal policy, with respect both to technologies and struc- tures for human service planning. The Duluth Proj- ect has demonstrated that a taxonomy can be de- veloped and used as a common structure for resi- dent - needs surveys, as a structuring device for the survey of agency service patterns, as an orga- nizing structure for planning, and as a basis for structuring resource files in information and refer- ral systems. In the concluding remarks, it is noted that, of all the key elements of a national human service coordination technology development pro- gram, the component relative to planning and deci- sion procedures for service resource allocation is the least well developed.

The third in a six-volume report on a human serv- ices coordination project in Duluth, Minnesota, documents the development of a needs survey as a component of the Human Services Coordination System. The report shows the relationship be- tween the concept of needs assessment and the physical form that the concept took in Duluth, i.e., a survey of a sample of households in the Model Neighborhood Area. The report reproduces the materials developed for use in Duluth, and is in- tended to serve as an example, if not a tool directly applicable to other communities. Survey design considerations relative to potential users of the data and to the types of data to be collected i.e., demographic data, other housing and income data, opinions concerning the 'quality of life,' prob- lems encountered with the service delivery system, and experience with providers of medical services are discussed. The survey instrument is described in detail, and the process of implemen- tation, the analysis plan, and a summary of survey findings are presented. The report concludes with a discussion of the applicability of the needs survey to the requirements of other communities and the use of alternative means for assessing needs. The bulk of the document consists of the following appendices: the survey instrument, codes and card column assignments, interviewer manual, summary tables for one family, summary tables for the one problem area (education), sup- porting tabular data, and a table for determining statistical confidence intervals.

Volume 4 of a six-volume report on a human serv- ices coordination project in Duluth, Minnesota, documents the design and implementation of the information and referral (l/R) component of the Human Services Coordination System developed by the project. Through its information - giving, re- ferral, and follow-up activities, the l/R service links individuals with services; as a by-product of its link- age activities, the l/R service collects data useful to human service planners. After a brief descrip- tion of the role of the l/R service within the system of service coordination, the report describes in detail the operating procedures used in the l/R service, including the assessment, referral, and follow-up processes and corresponding data col- lection procedures, and outreach and advocacy functions. The design of the data collection and report system for the l/R network is documented, including discussions of source documents, data elements, data processing requirements, data flow, reports, and utility of l/R data. The final chap- ter presents information on how to establish an l/R service, and on how to convert an existing oper- ation to the technology presented in this report. In- cluded are considerations of organizational struc- turing, funding, staffing, location selecting, and de- veloping and updating of resource files. Appendi- ces include sample resource file cards; a flow chart and narrative description of the l/R process, and sample l/R forms and instructions for com- pleting forms.

Volume 5 of a six-part report on a services coordi- nation project in Duluth, Minnesota, documents the development and implementation of a taxo- nomic structure for relating the problems of the client population to the human services delivery system in the community. The Problem / Service Taxonomy is a conveniently arranged listing of human services, falling into 18 client-oriented pro- gram objectives, organized under six general prob- lem areas. The Taxonomy provides a common lan- guage used in the following components of the co- ordinated services delivery system demonstrated in Duluth: (1) the agency survey, which uses the program objectives and services as the means for determining the human services resources in the community; (2) the needs survey, which measures one aspect of the demand for human services and is tied to a subset of the services, program objec- tives, and problem areas; and (3) the information and referral services, which uses the output of the agency survey as its basic working tool, i.e., the Resource File, organized and cross-referenced using the terms and numbering scheme of the Tax- onomy. The ongoing operations and data collec- tion activity of the information and referral service are built upon the classification scheme of the Tax- onomy. The brief text of the report describes the Taxonomy, its evolution, structure, and uses in the Duluth project. The appendices, representing the bulk of the document, contain the Taxonomy in all its detail at the time of the agency survey; show the relationship between the Taxonomy and the needs survey; and present the expanded (coded) service list compiled in Duluth.

A history and analysis of Minnesota's Human Serv- ices Act, the primary focus of human services inte- gration activity in Minnesota, is presented. The scope of this analysis includes State-level and local-level events and decisions, and discussions 343 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT of the relationships between the two governmental levels leading to passage of the Act. The Act is based on the following assumptions: (1) that a single authority responsible for policy-making and resource allocation is the best instrument for en- couraging integration of services; (2) that the most accountable level of government in Minnesota is the county; and (3) that it is important to provide ways for local citizens to be involved in reviewing public policy. The Human Services Act represents a bottom - to - top approach to vertical integration and provides facilities for horizontal integration. Discussions dealing with State-level decisions leading to formulation of the Act focus on the State Planning Agency where the legislation was devel- oped by the Human Resources Planning Director. Implementation of the Act is discussed in historical perspective. Three problem areas identified during implementation are: personnel systems, manage- ment systems, and human services board imple- mentation strategies. Pilot projects involving human services boards in two regions are com- pared and State and local relationships under the Act are analyzed. A list of attachments is included.

Preliminary results of a task analysis of the work of social agencies in a Five-County Integrated Health and Social Services Delivery System centered in Cedar City, Utah are described in this report. The project is a federally funded demonstration project aimed at exhibiting an integrated service delivery system incorporating the whole range of human services for a particular locale, and attempts to de- centralize State government and strengthen local administration of programs. The task analysis was performed by an inter-agency Task Force and in- cluded the distribution of questionnaires to each participating agency followed up by interviews by Task Force members. Workers were asked to de- scribe the work they performed in enough detail so that adequate information was available to write complete task statements. After the tasks were written, analyzed, and edited, the workers were asked to select the tasks they performed, and those selected were arranged in order of impor- tance and the first seven recorded on a form with the percent of time spent on each. These task in- ventories provide a basic documentation of what the workers do, and serve to validate the task bank and identify areas where further refinement was needed. A total of 139 tasks were written up, and task inventories made for 42 direct service work- ers. Both tasks and inventories made for 42 direct service workers.

A legal memorandum concerning confidentiality in the operations of CISRA (Central Intake and Sys- tematic Referral Approach to the Delivery of Human Services) is provided by a member of the Pennsylvania Bar to the Mon Valley Health and Welfare Council. Some issues involved in the pro- tection of confidentiality of client information are: demands for information about particular clients from governmental agencies and others not affili- ated with CISRA, information stored by CISRA may be subpoenaed by a judicial proceeding; or infor- mation in CISRA files may be released through negligence or wrongful acts. Generally, disclosure of information in connection with a judicial pro- ceeding may be compelled, but inspection cannot be compelled when it is related to a privileged matter. CISRAs legal liability for disclosure of infor- mation in other than a judicial proceeding depends upon whether the disclosure breaches contractual or fiduciary obligations. If an employee wrongfully divulges client information, CISRA can be held liable for the injury to the client's rights. Other memoranda involve fiscal responsibilities under the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Pro- gram and the Consent of Minors for their own health care.

The methods utilized in building and maintaining the Brockton Multi-Service Center, a community- based human service system, are documented. The service area includes the City of Brockton, Massachusetts, and ten surrounding towns. The area is densely populated, and is one of the fastest growing residential areas in the Commonwealth. Delivery of social services in the area had been fragmented, inefficient, and expensive, and com- munity leaders recognized a need for a compre- hensive human services system that would be ac- countable to the community. The resulting efforts reflected elements of three approaches to human services integration at the sub-state level: Federal funding, community involvement, and State admin- istrative support. The overall Brockton approach is discussed in terms of the Loop Model, which con- tains the following essential elements: gover- nance, performance specification, contract, system manager, operating system, and communi- ty audit. The model is illustrated, and each element is discussed. The remainder of the document dis- cusses the role of the Brockton Multi-Service Center Advisory Committee within the model, fo- cusing on the following six primary tasks: (1) seek and secure funding; (2) document performance specification; (3) approve the operating budget; (4) determine audit and evaluation procedure; (5) con- tract with the system manager; and (6) conduct community audits. Appendix A presents an over- view of Brockton Multi-Service Center develop- ment, including the following four steps: overall system definition, detailed design and pretesting, acquisition, and trial operation.

The proceedings of the National Invitational Con- ference on Computer-Assisted Information and Referral Systems, held November 12-14, 1973, in Long Beach, California, and sponsored by the Urban Information Systems Inter-Agency Commit- tee, are described. The conference was held to fa- cilitate the exchange of ideas and information among those actively involved in planning and op- erating information and referral systems and those involved in human services activities at the Federal level. Each of eight working groups was assigned the following three tasks: (1) to construct an oper- ating definition of information and referral; (2) to construct an operating definition of computer-as- sisted information and referral; and (3) to examine the political and technical factors which affect de- velopment of computer-assisted information and referral systems and to identify those factors oper- ating for and against such a system. Topical work- ing groups were divided into two categories: man- agement-oriented and technically oriented. Man- agement topics include: how communities can fi- nance computer-assisted information and referral; the uses of computer-assisted information and re- ferral data; how consumer use of information and referral can be increased; and confidentiality of data. Technical sessions dealt with data needs, automation techniques, classification systems, and data storage and retrieval methods. It is noted that participants felt that they could perform infor- mation and referral better than the Federal govern- ment, but that Federal guidance, coordination, and technical support is needed. Appendices present the proceedings of each working group; presenta- tions on telecommunications technology applied to human services, Federal information centers, the SEARCH Automated Information and Referral System, the Chattanooga Human Services Deliv- ery System, and the Information Center of Hamp- ton Roads; and lists of conference participants.

The implications of Title XX, a recent amendment to the Social Security Act which significantly re- forms the social services program formerly pro- vided under the Act, for State and local decision- makers are considered. Title XX gives States the flexibility to design a social services program tai- lored to the needs of their citizenry within the broad goals set by the Act. Part One of the guide discusses the 'human resources maze' and pro- vides visual displays of the overlap and interfaces between a selected set of existing human services programs and their relationship to Title XX. The fol- lowing human resources programs, selected for their potential interrelation with Title XX activities, are described: Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); Housing and Community De- velopment Act (HCDA); National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974; various programs dealing with the aged; Community Serv- ices Act of 1974; programs for dealing with devel- opmental disabilities; vocational rehabilitation pro- grams; Community Mental Health Centers Con- struction Act; Comprehensive Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Prevention, Treatment, and Rehabilita- tion Act; and the Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act of 1972. For each of these programs, the pur- pose of the related legislation is stated, an over- view of the provisions of the law is provided, and services, target groups, coordination require- ments, organizational structure, and planning re- quirements are described. Legal references are provided. A similar summary is provided for Title XX. The fourth section of the guide suggests alter- natives for coordination of human resources in light of Title XX provisions in the following areas: (1) coordinated decision-making; (2) coordinated 345 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT planning; (3) integrated services; and (4) informa- tion sharing.

A study made in 1970-71 of State and local gov- ernment relationships in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare State Plan system is re- ported. The findings are based on field visits to cities in Connecticut, Colorado, and Washington, and on two conferences held in the winter of 1971 for officials from State, local, and Federal Govern- ment. Three programs were studied: Comprehen- sive Health Planning under Section 314 of P.L 89- 749; Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Edu- cation Act; and the Vocational Education Act. The report describes the relationship of cities and States of HEW State Plan programs; some of the obstacles preventing cities from taking better ad- vantage of these Federal programs; and analyzes the steps or initiatives presently being taken at the Federal, State, and local levels to improve the workings of the system. Included are discussions of the following: powers and responsibilities of cities; weaknesses in the intergovernmental system; politicization of social, eudcational, and health programs; technical and political decisions; the State Plan concept; State Plan and funds pass - through; formula allocations; systems within the State Plan system; decision points in the State Plan process; emerging issues of HEW's involve- ment in the intergovernmental system; and Feder- al initiatives, such as Model Cities, funding and fiscal pattern changes, and legislative initiatives. Throughout the study it was observed that HEW State Plan programs were confusing and that re- quirements for submission of project proposals under State Plan often were unknown to local offi- cials. It was also observed that policy planning co- ordination between State and local government did not exist, but that both cities and States are seeking to improve overall development policy.

An examination of more than thirty services inte- gration projects to determine which factors lead to the integration of social services, is reported. The projects studied were classified in two ways: ac- cording to project characteristics such as organiz- ing principle for service clustering, mode of client entry, organizational sponsorship, and mode of co- operation; or according to type of integrating link- age. Case studies were developed for each project based on reviews of documents and structured in- terviews with project personnel. The study reveals that integration of services is not extensive and that a wide range of factors facilitate and inhibit services integration. Services integration was found to result in improved accessibility, continuity, and efficiency, but there is no single best services integration model. Recommendations to promote services integration include creation of an environ- ment conducive to integration, elimination of inter- nal HEW constraints, and building services integra- tion into the HEW grant system. Inhibitors and faci- litators of services integration are categorized and ranked according to impact. Several directed co- ordination projects are described and compared, as are voluntary coordination projects. A list of the projects studied is appended.

The development of the Chattanooga Human Services Delivery System, a comprehensive pro- gram for providing social, educational, and eco- nomic assistance to the disadvantaged, is de- scribed. The heart of the program is a computer- ized urban management information system which links various service agencies and tracks their cli- ents through the assistance process. A study by city administrators revealed considerable disorga- nization in the Chattanooga human services pro- gram; authority was fragmented and priorities were ill defined. Service arrangement was inefficient and less than totally effective, and there was a lack of data on program productivity and costs. From a technical perspective, the problem was primarily one of duplicative efforts resulting from inadequate planning and lack of communication. With no one agency equipped to coordinate all services, recipi- ents normally were shuttled from agency to agency in their search for assistance. The initial development of Chattanooga's computerized in- formation system, undertaken in 1970 as part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment's Neighborhood Services Program, is de- scribed. The human services system later was ex- 346 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT panded to include a 1 3-county bi-State area. At the time of this report, 42 governmental and private agencies were participating in the system. Most of these agencies utilize the five induction and refer- ral centers (neighborhood service centers) pro- vided by the City of Chattanooga for planning and coordinating client assistance. In addition, the City manages the information system for storing client data, processing individual assistance programs, following up on services delivery, and evaluating the entire process. Client flow through the system is described. Factors of cost, scheduling, person- nel requirements, and confidentiality which should be considered by communities contemplating a program similar to the Chattanooga system are discussed.

Major findings and principal related issues identi- fied in the study, 'Legal Aspects of Regulation of Substitute Environment and Day Care Facilities,' are summarized in this report which analyzes the jurisdictional prerogatives and regulatory powers of the State Board of Social Welfare (Board), and the State Department of Social Services (SDSS). Several issues have been pinpointed in respect to jurisdiction, policy making, service and promotional activities, and the regulatory controls exercised by both agencies. The study found many areas of du- ality, ambiguity, and consequent uncertainty over certain aspects of substitute environment facilities and child care institutions. Examples present con- crete illustrations of these ambiguities. Other issues under consideration concern the promo- tional powers and processes of the two regulatory agencies. Three alternative general proposals are presented as to changes in constitutional - statu- tory provisions, and administrative rules and proc- esses of the two agencies. One is to continue the Board and SDSS as separate organizations, but to issue guidelines as to the responsibilities of each agency. The second is to merge the roles of the two agencies, and to redefine the functions of each. The third is to free the Board from adminis- tering operating programs and assign to it planning and investigating responsibilities.

Practical approaches to evaluating human serv- ices are presented, with emphasis on the utility of these approaches for municipal decision - makers during the municipal budgeting process. It is noted that the purpose of evaluation is twofold: (1) to pro- vide decision - makers with a continuing assess- ment of the desirability and effectiveness of a par- ticular course of action in achieving stated goals; and (2) to judge whether conditions warrant a change in those stated goals and objectives. For organizations considering development of human service programs, the evaluation process requires that: (1) the need for the human service program be justified during the planning stage; (2) goals and objectives for the program be articulated prior to the program's implementation; (3) the service pro- vider be accountable to the community and its funding sources through an evaluation process; and (4) the need for the program be periodically assessed. In general, any evaluation system de- signed to meet the needs of smaller local govern- ments must relate to the budgetary process, must not require extensive time or staff capabilities for implementation, and must be versatile. Evaluation emphasis varies from municipality to municipality, and may be placed in one of three areas: responsi- bility (control); management (efficiency); or impact (effectiveness). For each type of emphasis, critical assumptions, evaluation criteria, and evaluation methods are outlined, followed by a 'critical ques- tions' worksheet relative to the particular area of emphasis. In addition, sample worksheets de- signed to provide municipal officials with compre- hensive but condensed information to be used for evaluation purposes are presented. A cooperative evaluation model which would allow several small communities to judge organizational responsibility and program management on a regional basis while maintaining program impact evaluation at the local level is outlined.

A review is presented of the history and develop- ment of existing systems of services for troubled youth in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and findings and recommendations are presented rela- tive to coordination and responsibility, funding, and delinquency prevention and community - based services. Statutory authorization is cited for six basic types of services: juvenile courts, probation subsidies, Pennsylvania Institutions for Children, child welfare, mental health and mental retarda- tion, and rehabilitative and educational programs. An imperative need for coordination of existing services to the delinquent and deprived child at the community level is identified, as is a need for fixing the responsibility for overseeing, coordinating, and directing these services. It is recommended that State - level coordination be implemented through establishment of a Department of Youth Services, and local - level coordination through youth serv- ices bureaus. A revision of the State - local funding responsibility for treatment of delinquent children and supervision of deprived children is recom- mended, as are development of effective methods of preventing and reducing juvenile delinquency, greater utilization of the existing school system to identify antisocial behavior and needs of deprived children, development of alternative education op- portunities for children who do not benefit from ex- isting programs offered in the schools, and encour- agement of community - based treatment pro- grams and facilities for rehabilitation of delinquent children to divert juveniles from the traditional juve- nile justice systems and to provide alternatives to institutionalization.

The Community Life Association (CLA) project un- dertaken to develop a new system of social serv- ices for Hartford, Connecticut is chronicled and as- sessed. The project was directed toward alleviat- ing the fragmentation, increasing costs, and low levels of accountability, performance standards, and responsiveness of services provided by the 500 social agencies in the Hartford region. The CLA system involved the pooling of most public and private social service dollars, including funds from the city department of social services; the State departments of welfare, mental health, and children and youth; the Model Cities Program; the Community Chest; and other sources. Family serv- ice workers, operating through neighborhood life centers, acted as consumer's advocates, helping to maintain the quality of services delivered under the purchase-of-service mechanism. These cen- ters acted as packagers or brokers of services for individuals, having as their mission the resolution of client problems. The study report is both de- scriptive and interpretive, and addresses the topics of pooled funding, case management, pur- chase contracts and referral arrangements, per- formance measures, market accountability, and specific CLA programs. The report covers the period from July 1 973, at which time the first neigh- borhood life center opened, through June 1974, at which time CLA was operating self-support and self-sufficiency programs and primary health care programs in neighborhood life centers in two neighborhoods, as well as a personal care pro- gram serving the elderly of the Greater Hartford Region.

The findings of a review of the Oregon State De- partment of Human Resources (DHR) and an anal- ysis of feasible alternatives for integration of serv- ice delivery to Oregon citizens are reported. The DHR comprises the following divisions: employ- ment security, public welfare, children's services, mental health, health, corrections, vocational reha- bilitation, and special programs. The analysis re- sulted in recommendations for organizational strategies and systems to improve the following major aspects of service delivery: accessibility by needy clients to services offered by the Depart- ment; timeliness of services with respect to client needs; appropriateness of services to satisfaction of systematically defined client problems and ob- jectives; effectiveness of services in accomplish- ing defined services objectives relative to individu- al clients and Oregon society as a whole; and ad- ministrative visibility and control over the service delivery process and supporting activities. The fol- lowing major recommendations are offered: (1) im- plement a common program structure as a basis for on-going planning, evaluation, and manage- ment of DHR services; (2) establish a DHR central staff organization which is work plan - oriented and which emphasizes resolution of interdivisional issues; (3) develop an integrated system for intake and case management related to DHR restorative services which may be administered in a standard fashion by existing division professional staff; (4) establish eight common DHR geographical re- gions; (5) establish eight DHR field coordinator po- sitions; and (6) develop in-depth training programs for DHR field coordinators, division professionals, and the general public. A phased program for im- plementation of the recommendations is present- ed. A description of study methodology, overview of existing departmental organization, and organi- zational flowcharts are included.

The organization of all county human services ac- tivities in Multnomah County, Oregon, under one management umbrella, the Department of Human Services (DHS), is described. The DHS organiza- tion design places all responsibilities within one of six organizational entities related to the director's office: three operational responsibility divisions (corrections, health, and social services); a gener- alist management group; support services, con- sisting of planning, training and education, and fiscal and personnel offices under the assistant di- rector; and the Departmental Citizen Advisory Board, concerned with all aspects of the agency's operation, with particular emphasis on consumer and interagency relations. Approximately 20 multi - disciplinary service teams are the key element in decentralization of human services according to the organization plan. Each service team will be composed of 6 to 12 professional, volunteer, and secretarial support personnel. Each will be located in and will serve a compact geographic area. All team members will be providers of service, with general orientation of the team to be generalist rather than specialist. Team composition will re- flect existing area needs, and will include, depend- ing on the needs of the area served, community health nurses, juvenile court counselors, family counselors, mental health counselors, case man- agement personnel, and others. A general imple- mentation plan is presented for establishment of the multi - disciplinary service teams and the gen- eralist quadrant management. Details of manage- ment and service team organization, accompanied by organizational flowcharts, are included. SHR-0000248 PC A02/MF A01 Brockton Area Human Resources Group, Inc., Mass.

The questions of how to fund integrated human services delivery systems and how to maintain ac- countability for funds from multiple and unrelated sources are discussed in the context of the Brock- ton, Massachusetts Integrated Human Service De- livery System. The Brockton system receives funds from three sources: local government, State agencies, and private human service agencies. Units of local government provide housing for sat- ellite delivery centers of the Multi-Service Health Center; State agencies shoulder the main funding burden and provide funding for administration of the Brockton system; and private agencies fund in- direct services and their own direct services. Fund- ing from these major sources are funneled through the Center's Advisory Committee, which acts as a conduit for all funds. Service delivery costs are de- termined through estimates of client use of each function on the client pathway. Once costs per function are determined, a cost allocation matrix is established for each function on the client path- way. The client pathway and the cost allocation chart are also used to account for system costs. SHR-0000250 PC A02/MF A01 Brockton Area Human Resources Group, Inc., Mass. Brockton Client Pathway John P.

A flexible client pathway model, developed as an integrative mechanism for the human services system of Brockton, Massachusetts, is described. The model, which can be redesigned for each client entering the system, includes seven main functions: entry function, problem determination, service planning, discharge, direct service, emer- gency, and information. Within the context of these seven functions and of 1 1 identified desirable client states, the integrated network of service pro- viders is organized into a unique client pathway for each client according to the service plan. A client monitor follows the client's progress along his pathway and is accountable to the client and to the system manager for the client's successful prog- ress. Through these activities, the client monitor serves as an ombudsman for the individual client. Use of the client pathway model is illustrated for two hypothetical nonemergency clients at oppo- site ends of the need spectrum: a client who has a single need, and a client who has multiple, inter- locking needs which require the activity of more than one service provider. Benefits of the integrat- ed system format to independent service providers and to clients are pointed out. Means by which the Brockton system is implementing key elements in the pathway are described, including use of the problem-oriented record for screening, referral, discharge, and follow-up. Sechmatic illustrations of the client pathway model are included. 148 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SHR-0000267 PC A04/MF A01 Minnesota State Office of the Governor, St. Paul.

A model for human services reform involving the State chief executive level is described as devel- oped in Minnesota's services integration project. The Minnesota project was based on the hypoth- esis that reform of the State's human services system could be achieved through intervention of a change agent with the organizational and politi- cal attributes of the Governor in the decision - making process at all levels of the system. As a result, the Office of Program Development (OPD) was created to intervene in human services deci- sion - making processes at both State and local levels throughout a three-year period. The follow- ing tasks constituted four principal program thrusts of the Minnesota project: improvement of service delivery, improvement of local management of human services, conditioning of State depart- ments to work within a unified framework, and building of a long-term integration capacity into the structure of State government. OPD successfully mobilized human services institutions at all levels of the system to a point where they were capable of implementing and sustaining changes in oper- ations, organization, and roles. It was determined that the Governor is uniquely qualified to intervene in decision - making processes at all levels of the State's human services system.

Two demonstration projects are described which relate to the problems of poverty and dependency. One project was financed by the Office of Eco- nomic Opportunity and the other project was fi- nanced by DHEW's Social and Rehabilitation Service. The projects were designed to demon- strate the effectiveness of an individualized ap- proach to the problems of disability and dependen- cy in economically deprived areas of Los Angeles County, California; the extent of disability among the disadvantaged population; and the increased number of disabled that could be served by the use of indigenous personnel, the establishment of neighborhood offices, and streamlining of proce- dures. Although the projects accepted disabled and nondisabled persons who qualified as being disadvantaged, half of approximately 17,000 appli- cants were found to have a mental or physical dis- ability. Nondisabled persons responded to the indi- vidualized approach of the project in the same manner as disabled persons and required essen- tially the same services, with no significant differ- ence in outcome. Substudies were conducted to compare welfare and nonwelfare clients, and an evaluation was made of the use of public and pri- vate training facilities and the use of workshops for evaluation and training. The number of disabled reached and served by the project during the first year (1965) more than doubled the number served during the preceding year. This increase was at- tributed to the increased number of applicants and the expediting of service. The one common factor of poverty and its depressing influence on the social and economic opportunities of demonstra- tion project clients appeared to be the most con- sistent determinant of dependency.

In addition, a separate descriptive section about each center is included. The objectives of the centers are: to reduce the incidence of juvenile delinquency; to provide youth the opportunity to participate in individually reward- ing and socially beneficial activities; to involve neighborhood citizens in the programming and evaluation of county services; to make county service more accessible; and to improve the coun- ty's ability to make effective use of available funds by eliminating duplicator/ activities and by identify- ing activities which can be shifted from county cost. The centers were established as multiservice facilities, with a center manager and staff from up to 1 1 participating county departments housed to- gether within one facility. County government sup- port was a key factor in establishing the pilot cen- ters. Following descriptions of the developmental activities of each center, a summary of pilot project activities and their relationship to project objec- tives is presented.

The Office of Program Development (OPD) project in Minnesota which was funded by the U.S. Depart- ment of Health, Education, and Welfare Services Integration Target of Opportunity funds is de- scribed. The effect of the project on Minnesota's capacity to influence information gathering, plan- ning, resources allocation, and delivery processes is examined. Observations regarding the approach used by the OPD project and the implications that the approach has for human services reform are examined. The approach or strategy used by OPD to effect change in the human services system of Minnesota was to involve those who were immedi- ately affected by changes, either as implementors or by the overall effect of the implementation. The basis of this approach is that structural changes in the human services system will be more enduring and rational if the changes are preceded by a period of discussion and preparation. The OPD strategy is characterized as an interactive rather than unidirectional approach. Capacity building, according to the OPD project, is generally repre- sented by structural changes which are related to the development and implementation of policy. Among such changes are the Human Services Act and the Office of Human Services. In addition to facilitating changes, the OPD project has provided insights into the change process and has provided a focal point for human service reform in Minneso- ta.

The conceptual basis, functions, and benefits of program evaluation in local government are dis- cussed, and the characteristics of several evalua- tion designs are described. Evaluation is defined operationally as the assessment of the effective- ness of an ongoing program in achieving objec- tives. A comprehensive program evaluation system can aid in developing a budgetary alloca- tion system that relates performance to need and to level of funding, in determining program prior- ities, in providing information to the public, in up- grading the political allocation process, and in con- serving public funds. The stages in the evaluation process are outlined, and general considerations involved in forming objectives for evaluation re- search are noted. Four major types of evaluation ~ program impact evaluation, program strategy eval- uation, project evaluation, and project rating - are differentiated, as are five categories of evaluation criteria. Analyses are presented of the following types of evaluation design: nonexperimental design, also known as the sample survey, correla- tional study, or simple survey; the true experimen- tal design, characterized by control and consisten- cy of environmental conditions; and the controlled field experiment, which is an experimental design executed under naturalistic environmental condi- tions. The requirements, characteristics, advan- tages, and disadvantages of each design are pointed out. Portions of this document are not fully legible.

An assessment of contractual services in William- stown, Massachusetts, is provided by the Massa- chusetts League of Cities and Towns as a basis for expansion of existing services or introduction of new services. Williamstown has purchased serv- ices since 1974, and while the purchase of con- tractual human services makes the management of town funds simpler, it does create financial prob- lems for providers and can disrupt traditional com- munity organization orientation. One problem Wil- liamstown faces is determining the proper role of the town in financing human services. It is recom- mended that an Administrative Human Service Ad- visory Committee be established for the purpose of evaluating, making recommendations, and co- ordinating human service efforts. Other recom- mendations include the following: appointment of 349 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT a part-time human service coordinator to serve as a referral agent for those seeking assistance and to provide liaison between the Advisory Committee and the Town Council; establishment of standard- ized request for funding procedures; utilization of an inventory of human service agencies in the area; and the conducting of a needs assessment study.

Repercussions resulting from the current economic situation relate to increased strain on Federal - State relationships, adverse ef- fects on community - based care programs and services integration efforts, less emphasis on plan- ning and evaluation, increasing human service de- mands on local governments, importance of human services management, loss of jobs by ex- perienced and competent human service officials, and a diminution in opportunities to broaden income ranges reached by HEW service programs. Major implications of financial stress for HEW poli- cies and programs are as follows: incorporate im- plications of State financial situation as major ele- ment of HEW analytic and implementation plan- ning agenda, reexamine and direct HEW policy re- search agenda, undertake a more selective ap- proach to penalty mechanisms, develop strong in- centives for planning and evaluation, reexamine and invigorate capacity building / service integra- tion efforts, explore ways of reflecting cost - of - living differentials in income maintenance and other HEW - funded programs, and accelerate movement toward the enactment of comprehen- sive national health insurance and a more rational income maintenance policy.

A comprehensive human services project was sponsored by the Social Service Board of North Dakota to demonstrate that a concerted approach to service delivery can be effectively implemented in rural settings through an integrated, multi-pur- pose delivery system with satellite centers. The Devils Lake Comprehensive Human Services Center project in North Dakota served a large and sparsely populated six-county rural area which in- cluded two Indian reservations. The concept of services integration for the Devils Lake Project is assessed, with emphasis on integrating linkages. The service delivery system is evaluated in terms of core service functions, direct services, client pathways, and services provided. Policy-making and planning are also evaluated, and considera- tion is given to the identification of community service needs and problems, policy planning and decision-making, program development, and other relevant developments in the State of North Dakota. Management considerations and oper- ations associated with the Devils Lake project are detailed, including the management process, com- munity relations and public information, staff devel- opment and training, and building facilities and services. The management information system de- veloped during the course of the project is de- scribed and its effectiveness is evaluated.

Results of a one-year assessment by the Capacity - Building Task Force of the Western Federal Re- gional Council (FRC) to determine what 'works' in coordinating Federal support for capacity building efforts of general purpose governments are report- ed. Following the development of the task force's mandate and the definition of capacity building, the task force conducted a special study based on data from 30 projects. Four conditions were dem- onstrated to be associated with project success: a strong personal commitment to the capacity build- ing project by an influential government official; local government commitment to the project; a specific element in the program which fosters a wider impact of the grant; and grantee advance perception of the project as a model for replication. Research data and information from other projects and studies in the region were compiled and ana- lyzed. The major finding was a general lack of con- fidence in local officials; this lack of confidence in leadership creates barriers to local policy - making and coordination. Recommendations are for the FRC to make its leadership more visible in coordi- nating Federal programs at State and local levels; encouragement of interjurisdictional and multi - level capacity building efforts; and reevaluation of funding criteria in terms of what 'works'.

It was found that the amount of productivity information available on effectiveness and effi- ciency in State documents, particularly budget documents, is sparse. Reported measures do not adequately cover such aspects of service produc- tivity as: degree of client improvement after leaving State programs, direct feedback concerning client satisfaction, extent to which total need is met, service accessibility, and the effects of services on clientele groups. State budget offices indicate that information available to them on both effective- ness and efficiency is deficient.

A preliminary analysis of voluntary agency services in Maryland is presented which is derived from data from agency reports and a telephone survey of 165 voluntary groups providing individual and family life services, and social adjustment and social development services. The United Way of America Services Identification System was used to classify services. Agencies were queried on: al- locations and expenditures, the impact of govern- mental funding, utilization of services, personnel, eligibility criteria, geographic distribution of serv- ices, and program capacity. Trends and issues in service delivery are summarized, including: (1) the need for services; (2) priorities among services; (3) relationships to the public sector; (3) issues in public finance such as the level of funding, princi- ples of reimbursement, and administration discre- tion; (4) organizational concerns; (5) programmatic issues; and (6) alternate directions in the provi- sions of services. It is concluded that the paucity of usable data relating to voluntary agency services makes it difficult to assess the long-range effects of these services, their internal needs, or their impact on and relationship to the public services.

A feasibility study was conducted using the case survey method to compile information about the organizational processes of Services Integration Targets of Opportunity (SITO) projects and similar efforts. Four study areas were identified: (1) speci- fication of outcomes that DHEW and others desire to achieve through services integration; (2) review of the number and characteristics of SITO and non-SITO projects; (3) development of a concep- tual framework to guide the selection of projects and variables; and (4) development and testing of a checklist or data collection guide and reiterative refinement of this checklist in light of data availabil- ity. These tasks were pursued through interviews and an examination of services integration litera- ture. Discussions were conducted with past and present Federal officials closely associated with the SITO program. Federal region, State, and local project personnel were contacted to learn about services integration from their perspective and to identify non-SITO projects that could be included in an aggregative study. Conceptual work led to an organizational process model that could be used in structuring questions to be asked of services inte- gration projects. Rigorous requirements of the process model and the nature of available case histories on services integration led to the conclu- sion that a case survey method using only availa- ble materials should not be conducted. As an alter- native, it was recommended that DHEW possibly consider a research census, relying on available written materials but primarily collecting data by telephone and mail.

Human services programs in Louisiana are exam- ined to determine how they could be more closely coordinated to comply with the services integration concepts espoused in the Allied Services Act. The programs selected for evaluation are described in terms of purpose, services, administrative system, funding, and clients served. It was determined that the most feasible method of inventorying the serv- ice resources was to ascertain the number of cli- ents served by each program, and questionnaires were mailed to the various agencies to supply this information. Another questionnaire was mailed to service providers requesting information concern- ing linkages between their programs and other programs in this study. Responses to both ques- tionnaires are presented in tabular form. The study was expanded to study the impact of integration upon service delivery in a local area. Oachita Parish was selected as the pilot because it is typi- cal of the State, and local officials recognized a need for change in the social service delivery system.

An integrated social services project in Utah is de- scribed. In 1974, Utah's District V received DHEW grant monies for integrating social services. Con- cepts to be demonstrated under this grant includ- ed the direct connection of information and referral services to functional services; the integration and colocation of Department of Social Services and other related State and local agencies in order to structure a more coordinated, comprehensive, measurable, and accountable delivery system in the district and eventually in the State; the new partnership roles of State, district, and local gov- ernments which facilitate effective planning for in- tegrated service delivery; the feasibility and con- straints related to the development of fiscal, infor- mation, and evaluation support, and the develop- ment of technical assistance systems at the State level to support integrated district delivery sys- tems; the feasibility and potential to structure crite- ria for evaluating delivery systems; and the con- solidation or reorganization of State-level agencies that may be required to provide technical, manage- ment, and support assistance to statewide inte- grated district delivery systems. Services integra- tion in Utah's District V was investigated by con- ducting a survey, developing an evaluation plan, and carrying out field work. Five major cost centers in the district were identified: policy formulation, administration, master service unit, State support systems, and service delivery. Consideration was also given to policy and administrative infrastruc- tures in the district and to the adequacy of the master service unit. Appended information and tabular data are provided on service delivery and expenditures in Utah's District V. SHR-0000483 PC A13/MF A01 Montana Dept. of Social and Rehabilitation Serv- ices, Helena.

A project was carried out to design and test meth- ods for coordinating social service delivery to five sparsely populated Montana counties, including an Indian reservation. The major objective of the proj- ect was to assess the impact of methods for co- ordinating social service delivery on Montana's rural social service delivery system. Techniques employed in the course of the project are de- scribed. Functions of the Social Service Agency in Montana are delineated. Procedures used to iden- tify problems and service needs are outlined. The following specific social service needs are noted: adult services, youth services, family and child services, and general needs. Consideration is given to the development of services to meet needs and assure their accessibility, to the consoli- dation of the delivery of State services, to the co- ordination of the service delivery by other public and voluntary agencies, to rural modification of the case management system, and to the delivery and coordination of services to Indians. The cost-effec- tiveness of Montana's rural social service delivery system is evaluated. Supporting data on services, costs, and staff time are tabulated. Appendixes provide additional information on the delivery of rural se.'vices, administrative arrangements, com- munity work methods, supervision, the social serv- ice district concept, established referral channels, service delivery and coordination costs, staffing, and services rendered; they contain the project forms.

The use of administrative and direct service link- ages in the Florida State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (DHRS) comprehensive services delivery system (CSDS) project is as- sessed. Through some 289 separate linkages, the project staff initiated the multiservice concept in three pilot centers in Palm Beach County. Among specific administrative linkages identified are those concerning fiscal activities, personnel practices, planning and programming, and administrative support services. Some of the agencies participat- ing in the CSDS project have either colocated in the pilot service centers or are recipients of pur- chase of services agreements. Among direct serv- ice linkages identified are those related to modes of case coordination and delivery of core services, including outreach, intake, diagnosis, referral, and follow-up. The linkages identified are said to indi- cate the level of communication existing between local social service agencies and CSDS project staff, as well as the level of communication within the service centers containing colocated agencies. Definitions of various integrating linkages, a tabu- lar summary of integrating linkages employed in specific DHRS divisions and units, a summary of project activities with actual or potential linkage im- plications, and a list of agencies participating in the project are appended.

The development of a staff orientation and training program to enhance the services integration ef- forts of the Arizona Department of Economic Se- curity is documented. From five alternative models developed by a services integration task force, in- dividual State districts structured their own multi- service centers to meet demographic needs and to reflect financial and community resources. A train- ing program was needed which would be applica- ble in all the centers. The development of training objectives and of a four-phase orientation program to meet immediate needs are outlined. The curricu- lum developed relies heavily on audiovisual aids, and contains elements dealing with employee atti- tude, information dissemination, and assessment of employees' reactions to the multiservice center concept. Orientation training based on the four- phase curriculum was provided to center employ- ees throughout the State during November and December 1973. All districts reported success with the program. The training concepts developed were consistent with the department's policy on decentralization and were compatible with a com- mitment to management by objectives. Problems encountered by three of the districts in implement- ing training programs are noted. Specific ap- proaches are outlined for the following types of training: pretraining initial service; cross-training for multiservice staff personnel; ongoing, inhouse training; and long-range training programs.

The status of municipal planning and management in the United States is examined in a study spon- sored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of the study was to examine problems facing local gov- ernment relative to planning and management and to identify needs which must be met to bring about any substantial improvement in city government planning and management processes. Emphasis was placed upon determining planning and man- agement needs as perceived by local officials and organizing these views into a coherent description of problems and needs at the local level. The study addressed three major areas: (1) identification and analysis of primary planning and management needs of city government; (2) identification of methods by which HUD can effectively assist city governments to improve their planning and man- agement processes; and (3) determination of the possible effects of proposed revenue sharing on planning and management processes and on the distribution of Federal, State, and local resources to programs aimed at assisting minority groups. Implementation of the study was accomplished through field visits in six cities during 1971 and 1972, State league seminars in four States during September and October 1971, development of special topic papers, and a questionnaire to pro- vide additional information concerning the plan- ning and management needs of local government.

Results of the Systematic Needs Assessment Project, designed to assess service needs for Flor- ida residents under Title XX of the 1974 Social Se- curity Act, are reported. Data were collected from 626 persons attending public hearings throughout the State concerning assessment of needs to comply with provisions of Title XX. The sample consisted of health agency personnel, administra- tors, and volunteers. The five most pressing needs in the State were identified as: medical care for low income families, unemployment, abused children, need for money to live, and transportation. Infor- mation and referral problems are inherent in most of these areas of need. Target groups, ranked in order of need, include: low income families, unem- ployed / underemployed individuals, persons over 64, children aged six to eighteen, and children under six. Under Title XX, family planning services will be available throughout the State. The need for access to services will be met through expanded information and referral services and transporta- tion services on a statewide basis under the Act. Services to the unemployed and to abused chil- dren will vary throughout the State, but will be available statewide within the goal areas of self- support and prevention of neglect, exploitation, or abuse.

The effectiveness of Florida State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (DHRS) region- al councils in promoting the integration of regional services at the local level is assessed. Based on the successful experience of experimental region- al councils in promoting integration of regional agencies at the local level, a statewide network of 1 1 DHRS regional councils was developed to pro- vide a mechanism for cooperation and coordina- tion among DHRS agencies within regions. Re- sponses to questionnaires sent to all council mem- bers indicate a lack of accomplishment on the part of the councils. Inadequate time devoted to council meetings and limitations upon council chairmen as coordinators of council activities are cited as fac- tors in constraining the initiation and carrying out of council activities. The organizational need for a re- gional coordinator as opposed to a regional coun- cil chairman is discussed, and the role of such a regional coordinator is considered. The report draws on the experiences of one regional adminis- trator working on a pilot basis in one region to de- scribe what the coordinator's position could entail. 352 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT Establishment of the regional coordinator position within the department is recommended on the basis of the need for a permanent position, an un- biased mediator, a single department representa- tive, a departmental approach in multiservice case problems, and consolidation of certain regional ad- ministrative functions.

A comprehensive master plan for elderly citizens is described and was prepared by the State Commis- sion on Aging in Hawaii. The plan includes a com- pilation of basic demographic data on elderly citi- zens of Hawaii; an identification of the physical, so- ciological, psychological, and economic needs of the elderly; the establishment of long-range and immediate goals for elderly programs and services in the State; the establishment of priorities and al- ternatives for program implementation; and the or- ganization of an administrative and program struc- ture, including the use of facilities and personnel. Part One of the master plan provides a summary and overview of elderly program planning in Hawaii. Part Two reviews goals, objectives, and the rights of elderly citizens and the programs de- veloped for them. Part Three evaluates programs and administrative systems that manage, control, and direct services to Hawaii's elderly. Part Four presents basic program and administrative reform recommendations and suggestions. Part Five of the master plan presents a detailed commentary on specific program budget and implementation plan requirements for executing the recommenda- tions. Three principal recommendations are made in the master plan with regard to the elderly citi- zens of Hawaii: (1) strengthen service and assist- ance programs for the elderly; (2) abolish the Com- mission on Aging and establish in its place a spe- cial office to coordinate and manage service pro- grams for the elderly on a statewide basis; and (3) strength the home rule functions of county units on aging.

Three fee schedule options for a hypothetical day care program are analyzed in terms of equity, cost, and work incentives. The options are as follows: fees as a varying proportion of costs; fees as a varying proportion of family income; and fees as a constant dollar amount. Evaluative criteria are ab- solute dollar amounts charged, fees as a propor- tion of family income (average tax rate), and implic- it marginal tax rates. Under the first option, the per- cent of service costs paid by the client rises as the client's 'welfare ratio' (family income divided by need standard) rises. Whereas the first option re- quires an increasing proportion of costs to be paid by the more affluent, the second option, which in- corporates elements of the progressive income tax rationale, requires an increasing proportion of income to be paid. Both options have the undesira- ble effect of raising the effective tax rate on earned income, thereby lessening incentives to work. Under the third option, the fee schedule can be made to mesh with the negative tax schedule, per- haps by permitting the deduction of service costs in the calculation of a family's income supplement. Implications of each option for a hypothetical family of four are examined. The first option ap- pears to represent a fairly balanced compromise between the other two in that it is equitable and flexible and does not raise marginal or average tax rates too high. Supporting data are included. SHR-0000515 PCA11/MFA01 Booz-Allen Public Administration Services, Inc., Washington, D.C.

Alternate methodologies are presented for con- ducting an assessment of social service needs and an analysis of the resources available and re- quired to meet these needs. These tools were de- veloped for use by the States for social service programming that would meet the proposed pro- gram and financial planning requirements to be issued by the Social and Rehabilitation Service of DHEW. The project was designed in three phases: the development of the methodologies, their field testing, and an analysis and revision of the meth- odologies based on text experience. Four method- ological models were developed, and their testing at eight field sites is described. The goal-oriented social service model provides the conceptual foun- dation and framework for the development of the methodologies. During the course of the project year, certain shifts in priorities and policy within the Social and Rehabilitation Service concerning the program and financial planning requirements had a substantial impact on the use and usefulness of the project's findings and final products. Efforts were made to adapt the methodologies to the new service environment, in addition to effecting the re- visions based on the test experience. Although its original purpose was abrogated, it is noted that several major benefits accrued from the project, such as the efficacy of needs and resource as- sessment for public social service planning and management, and the development of the specific methodologies.

The concepts of program budgeting and budget analysis are examined in an effort to provide evi- dence that a system employing these concepts, such as that implemented in the City of San Diego and the State of California, is practical and feasi- ble. The history of budgeting in general in the U.S. and of program budgeting in particular is reviewed, and a comparison between the program budget and the traditional line - item budget is provided. The theoretical aspects of program budgeting are discussed, and the advantages of this system over other budgets are pointed out. Methods of imple- menting a program budget for State and local gov- ernments are described. Practical and theoretical implementation strategies are examined, and a program budget document is described and illus- trated. The various analyses which can be under- taken as a result of systems data made available by the program budget are illustrated with exam- ples drawn from the experience of San Diego and California. Criticisms of program budgeting and analysis are considered. It is noted that many of these criticisms are based on design and execu- tion flaws rather than conceptual problems. The importance of a realistic plan for program budget implementation is stressed. It is concluded that the two-part budgetary process described alleviates deficiencies of the line-item system and in doing so offers a more rational approach to budgeting.

The evaluation design for the Information and Re- ferral System of the Southern Tier Central Region in New York State is described. The evaluation design is based on a nonexperimental model which was adopted after consideration of several types of social program evaluation designs due to the complexity of political, demographic, and geo- graphic characteristics of the region and the ab- sence of data on client populations that a formal experimental model would require. The basic structure of the evaluation design involves a set of operational program objectives and criteria for their assessment. The structure is formative rather than summative in nature and is designed to gauge the progress of the information and referral system in meeting its stated objectives as it develops. Recommendations are given for the successful im- plenentation of the evaluation design and include the following: (1) the design should be considered flexible and adaptable, subject to change as oper- ations of the information and referral system change over time; (2) certain objectives may be given priority at different times, depending on the stage of development of program operations; and (3) the evaluation design and policy implications of technical analyses which accompany it should serve as an ordering basis for human service deliv- ery planning and data collection and analysis in the Southern Tier Central Region. Appendices provide a technical analysis of long-term objectives and implications for evaluation design as well as sample data collection forms. A bibliography is in- cluded.

Tolerance levels established for the quality control system in public assistance are evaluated. The quality control system for public assistance is con- sidered to be a joint Federal - State operation to provide information to both administrative levels. At each level, State quality control reports, in com- bination with other information, should provide a basis for estimating rates of ineligibility and incor- rect payments for improving and strengthening programs and for evaluating policies. In order for the quality control system to provide reliable infor- mation which can be used as an effective basis for evaluation and a guide to corrective action, it must function freely within State organizations, subject to Federal monitoring. A study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of existing national toler- ance levels for eligibility and payments, to recom- mend alternative levels if necessary, and to sug- gest changes in the public assistance system which may lead to a reduction in tolerance level error rates. Site visits were made to the central of- fices of five State welfare departments and to se- lected city and county agencies in an effort to evaluate tolerance levels established for quality control system operations and problems and capa- bilities inherent in its operation. Interviews with State and local staff focused on the determination of eligibility and income maintenance. The results of this survey are discussed, and recommended new tolerance levels are stipulated.

The feasibility of including a simulation approach to dynamic analysis within a methodology pro- posed for cost-benefit measurement of a self-sup- port service system is assessed. Two nonoptimiz- ing methodologies for investigating implications of change in a system are discussed: simulation and parametrization. The relative value of each in as- sessing the impact of change in the social services cost-benefit methodology is considered, and para- metric analysis is deemed preferable for the appli- cation at hand. Parametric analysis evaluates the impact of system changes by introducing variation in the value of one parameter of the model, while other parameters are held constant. Parametric analysis techniques and their application to cost- benefit methodology are discussed. Highlights are presented of a proposed probabilistic formulation of the self-support social services system as a Markovian process. The major findings of the study are: (1) simulation as an approach to analyz- ing change impact on the self-support system is not viable due to excessive data requirements and a high level of expense; (2) parametric analysis, employing both value variation and statistical tech- niques, overcomes many of the problems inherent in a simulation approach; and (3) stochastic proc- essing based on Markov chain theory is a particu- larly useful approach to analyzing the dynamic as- pects of the social services system. Mathematical formulations are included. SHR-0000574 PC A08/MF A01 Burt Associates, Inc., Bethesda, Md.

Information is appended in the second volume of a report on the development of an evaluation system for measuring the cost-effectiveness of protective services for abused and neglected children and their families under Titles IV-A and IV-B of the Social Security Act. The Social and Rehabilitation Service of DHEW provides funds to States under Titles IV-A and IV-B for the provision of protective services. The purpose of the evaluation effort was to examine the following: service agencies most effective in reducing recidivism; order of cost-ef- fectiveness from least to highest by service agency, State, and region; discernible trends in the cost-effectiveness of service agencies, States, re- gions, and the nation; whether agencies serve some groups more cost-effectively than others; and costs of providing services to clients who achieve protective service objectives as compared with clients not achieving these objectives. The technical approach in the evaluation effort consist- ed of three main steps: (1) review of evaluation systems in use; (2) design of a protective service evaluation system; and (3) demonstration of the system at two test sites. Four appendices to the report include a list of major services provided to abused and neglected children in the two demon- stration sites, costing forms, publicly and privately funded agencies and groups providing services to abused and neglected children in the two demon- stration sites, and effectiveness data from the sites.

A report on the Department of Health Education, and Welfare's Information Systems Workshop is given. The workshop was held in December 1975 to involve State and local governments in the de- velopment of a DHEW strategy regarding capacity building through the use of information system technology. Specific objectives of the workshop were as follows: (1) to identify problems related to information systems and the development of human services management capabilities at the State and local level; (2) to present and critique DHEW funded programs in the area of information systems technology as related to capacity building; (3) to obtain State and local government input for future DHEW capacity building directions in the form of recommendations for capacity building / information systems development strategies and needed research; and (4) to determine the feasibil- ity of future relationships among Federal, State, and local human service agencies in the develop- ment of future program directions. Recommenda- tions resulting from the workshop were combined into the following major problem categories: lack of a common language or taxonomy for human serv- ices; lack of strategies and techniques for the eval- uation of human services; lack of coordination be- tween government agencies, policies, and pro- grams and problems related to unstable Federal programs; weaknesses in planning and resource allocation at the State and local level; training and personnel capabilities; technical systems develop- ment and transfer and problems related to the utili- zation and availability of data; and confidentiality of information. Recommendations addressing these problem categories were developed within the context of four areas of potential assistance pres- ently available from DHEW: research and demon- stration projects, technical assistance to State and local governments, information dissemination and system transfers, and internal reform within DHEW. Appendices provide information on work- shop participants and agenda items. SHR-0000585 PC A05/MF A01 Louisiana Health and Human Resources Adminis- tration, Baton Rouge. Information Systems Plan.

An overview of the Louisiana Health and Human Resources Administration (LHHRA) Information Systems Plan is provided. Substantive details of each system included in the plan are provided in a separate volume. An assessment of the status of systems development in LHHRA reveals that major systems needs are being addressed and that implementation of LHHRA systems are in var- ious stages of the development process. Strong central control over all systems development pro- jects is urged, as is development on an agencywide basis, consistent reporting require- ments, and use of the plan as a monitoring device. The plan identifies major existing and planned LHHRA systems. Development of the plan in- volved: identification of major tasks, review of spe- cific problem areas, review of available systems, analysis of information needs, and definition of an overall structure. Sixteen major systems are de- fined which fall into four categories: financial and administrative management, patient administra- tion, recipient services, and multiprogram refer- ence function. A management reporting structure is described that is dependent on the compatability of the reporting characteristics of each system.

A review is presented of the state of the art in the application of productivity measurement theory to human services. The following methods of evaluat- ing human services programs and systems are dis- cussed in detail: direct evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, social indicator assessment, comparison of indirect effects, longitudinal examination of ex- perimental intervention, and proxy measures. In- cluded in the discussion of each method of evalua- tion is a review of developments to date, measure- ment techniques utilized, advantages and disad- vantages of each approach, and recommenda- tions for improving the measurement theory. It is suggested that, in view of the many evaluative methods available to assess productivity in human services, an eclectic approach is best. This would allow management, policy-makers, and program operators to determine which specific methods and techniques could best be applied to systems' programs to obtain evaluative information.

Outreach services are discussed as a component of information and referral service systems. It is noted that outreach takes the services of informa- tion and referral out of the (l/R) center and into the community. The purpose of outreach is to extend services to people who may be unable or reluctant to find help by contacting an information and refer- ral center. Not only can outreach services give in- formation but they can also help a person make contact with a particular needed service. An out- reach methodology is described that can be ap- plied to many special groups or target populations such as the poor, elderly, or ethnic and racial groups. The limiting factor in applying the method- ology, however, is thought to be the availability of current information about where the target popula- tion of interest lives. Outreach workers are consid- ered in regard to the following: job description, re- cruitment, selection, salary, working hours, train- ing, supervision and elements of supervision, and supervisor duties. Procedures are outlined for can- vassing an outreach service area, with emphasis on how to select the area, use of census tract data, making canvassing assignments, and precanvass- ing activities. The outreach worker's job role is de- tailed, along with techniques for use when inter- viewing. An appendix presents procedural details involved in the provision of outreach services, as well as forms which can be utilized for canvassing.

The evolution and development of the concept of multiservice centers in Indianapolis, Indiana is do- cumented. The idea of the multiservice centers originated during implementation of the Model Cities Program. The centers were conceptualized as maintaining mental health and family stability in the Model Cities area at levels comparable to other areas of the city, providing social services to resi- dents of the Model Cities area, and providing a pilot center for delivery of services to Model Cities families. Overall objectives of the centers include: decentralization of services, provision of a local fa- cility with neighborhood input, provision of services responsive to neighborhood needs, and provision of a physical location for human services in the community. The centers are funded by the Com- munity Service Program which serves as the ad- ministrative agency responsible for carrying out policies and procedures. Three types of services are offered at the centers: core services such as outreach, intake, referral, and advocacy; support- ing services including administration and basic group activities; and direct services including health, housing, employment, education, welfare, and recreation. Program evaluation, interagency cooperation, physical facilities, and citizen partici- pation are reviewed. Appendices contain evalua- tion forms, flow charts, and administrative forms used in operating the centers. SHR-0000594 PC A03/MF A01 Board for Fundamental Education, Indianapolis, Ind.

The use of clusters is discussed as a planning and coordinating device within the framework of human services. Clusters refer to working groups of people usually associated with agencies and or- 355 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ganizations in the human services framework. The objective of clusters is to consolidate different human service functions into a concerted oper- ation. The cluster management approach is uti- lized to end the isolation of agencies and to remedy their structural inability to respond with specific services needed by individuals at a partic- ular time. Fragmentation, duplication, and gaps in service are some of the issues addressed by clus- ters in their attempt to achieve better allocation of funds in relation to community needs and better management of the total human service delivery system. Examples of the cluster approach are cited, including the case conference system, which centralizes activities of agencies serving one client in common, and community councils of social serv- ice agencies, which may serve to impact communi- ty welfare planning. Various bases for group cohe- sion in the clustering process are identified, along with essential factions for effective cluster man- agement. Strong citizen participation and intralevel representation of social welfare planners are em- phasized as important elements for reaching posi- tive and creative solutions. Mechanisms for mini- mizing resistance to clusters are discussed. Ad- vantages of ad hoc groups and super-agency op- erations are noted, and it is implied that both struc- tures are desirable for a cluster network to achieve greater productivity within the human service deliv- ery system.

Intake procedures are described for the four types of clients visiting the center: applicants who know what they want, applicants whose needs are uncertain or who have multiple needs, repeat applicants, and applicants who need redi- rection. The Intake Service Specialist refers appli- cants to caseload managers who conduct indepth assessments of needs and problems, establish pri- orities, make referrals to appropriate agencies, and follow-up on the client.

Research and development of a new service deliv- ery model is reported by the Community Life Asso- ciation (CLA) of Hartford, Connecticut conducted under an experimental Services Integration Target Organization (SITO) grant. The three-year project, which ceased all operational activity on December 31, 1975, is evaluated for accomplishments and shortcomings. Problems of the existing service system (fragmentation and duplication of services, lack of coordination) are delineated. The CLA model, which incorporated four basic innovative elements based on analysis of the above prob- lems, is presented. These elements are: a pool of funds from public and private sources; purchase of services; case managers; and performance mea- surement. The development of the CLA is traced, and two programs within it - the self support system and the personal care program - are de- scribed. Constraints encountered by the programs are discussed, and detailed conclusions are pre- sented regarding the CLA methodology. In gener- al, it was concluded that the methodology was a significant innovation that can effect a comprehen- sive, focused, and accountable system for plan- ning, financing, and delivering human services. Lessons learned and closing remarks about the project are included, together with a chronology of major CLA developments. SHR-0000620 PC A05/MF A01 White (E.H.) and Co., San Francisco, Calif.

Program materials designed to aid the independ- ent and collaborative work of capacity builders in a decentralized environment are presented. The concept 'capacity building' generally characterizes a Federal role vis - a - vis other institutions in the service system such as State and local govern- ment and private agencies. It defines the Federal role as an assistant to the human service suppliers helping them to improve their performance and, in some cases, stimulating the development of serv- ice suppliers. Historical developments and effects of capacity building are noted including the in- crease in the range and depth of horizontal coordi- nation and catalyzation activities at State and sub- state levels, the increase in vertical interactions fo- cusing on the more rational use of public re- sources, and the growing acknowledgement of in- fluence rather than power as the appropriate basis for exercising Federal leadership. Capacity build- ing policies of DHEW and major components for implementation are summarized. Problems associ- ated with capacity building are categorized accord- ing to the service system, the situation, and the client. Consideration is given to 'top - down' capac- ity building, situation analysis, and decision proc- ess analysis. Capacity building tools are identified.

The incidence of selected poverty conditions in San Diego County, California is investigated, and a regional pattern for the distribution of Community Services Administration grant funds is described. In the development of a fair share formula for dis- tributing antipoverty funds in San Diego County, an attempt was made to generate a set of statistics which would reflect poverty as defined in accord- ance with community perceptions and needs, which would present an accurate picture of the in- cidence of poverty countywide, and which would be capable of direct translation into distributional guidelines. Nine elements related to poverty were selected for study: employment status, inadequate housing, inadequate education, low income, public welfare, problems of ethnic poor, problems of poor senior citizens, health and nutrition, and problems of poor youth. The primary source of data was the 1970 census for San Diego County. A fair share formula was developed, based on a composite poverty index, which can be used by social service funding agencies in San Diego County to deter- mine regional proportions of total available funds. Data on the regional incidence of poverty in the county are provided with regard to the nine poverty elements.

The activities of the Oregon Department of Human Resources' Nyssa Human Resource Center dem- onstration project are reviewed, with special atten- tion to the last of the project's three years of oper- ation. The Nyssa demonstration project represent- ed an effort to provide highly integrated delivery of social, economic, educational, and rehabilitative services to migrant farm workers and others eligi- ble for social services. Service elements from the Department of Human Resources' Divisions of Children's Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, Public Welfare, Employment, and Mental Health were located at the Center. In addition, several units unique to the Center were created: an out- reach team, a health clinic, a drop-in day care unit, an emergency services unit, a coordinated client evaluation team, and a volunteer services unit. Local services and agencies (a self-help housing unit and an educational unit) were also incorporat- ed in the Center. The final report is divided into three sections, each concerned with a specific evaluative perspective. The sections are: manage- ment roles and responsibilities, organizational design, and quantitative measurements. Problems with decision-making within the management sup- port system are said to have resulted in conflicting objectives and ambiguous situations at the Center. The organizational design of the Center, in theory, proved adequate; however, the organizational en- vironment was not sustained in such a way to opti- mize implementation of that design. The primary success of the Center was in the ability of the sep- arate service elements to meet stated numerical caseload objectives. Based on the Center's expe- rience, necessities for a successful human re- source center are outlined. Supporting data on ca- seloads of the various service elements and on case-sharing are included.

Two modes of human services integration, serv- ices integration and program integration, are dis- cussed and compared. The objective of program integration is the structural rationalization of the delivery of human services in a community or region to improve its efficiency. Services integra- tion is intended to achieve a related, but distinct, objective: provision of the appropriate mix of serv- ices to an individual or family in a community or region. DHEW has failed to distinguish between the types of integration, particularly in implementa- tion of the Allied Services Act. Program integration involves the destruction of functional and profes- sional autonomy, while services integration may be achieved without altering territorial imperatives. A set of hypotheses is suggested concerning the re- lationship of program and services integration to other tendencies in the organization of human services. These tendencies include: decentraliza- tion, deinstitutionalization, democratization, indi- vidualization, and advocacy. It is asserted that services integration can be achieved without pro- gram integration. Portions of this document are not fully legible.

A description is provided of Rockland County, New York's program for bringing together on one campus the major county-operated and county- supported institutions and services for the delivery of health and social services. This Rockland County Health and Social Service Complex con- tains the Health Department, a comprehensive mental health and mental retardation center, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and a long-term care facility. The history of the Complex's develop- ment is described in detail, including the enabling legislation. Several of the constituent agencies have been integrated into the Complex and are now being administered by the Complex staff rather than by several independent agencies. Sig- nificant savings have been achieved through cen- tralization of administrative, supportive, and fiscal services. Centralization has enabled these serv- ices to be administered by specialists in these fields, permitting constituent agencies to concen- trate their efforts on programs and services by freeing them from administrative details. The inte- gration program is not designed to restrict the pro- grams of constituent agencies; it is an attempt to achieve comprehensive planning, program evalua- tion, and priority determination in providing health and social services to county residents.

A methodology is proposed for the integration of human services. It is pointed out that human serv- ices integration involves consolidating indirect 357 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT service activities such as intake, referral, followup, outreach, and administration so that direct service activities related to treatment, counseling, and pro- tective care become the main function of service agencies. It is also noted that human services inte- gration includes the development of a multiservice plan for each client with multiple needs or prob- lems so that service schedules, sequences, and required interagency referrals are defined. Human services integration must incorporate continuous individual case accounting and evaluation in order to determine the total effect of all services on a client, as well as overall planning and evaluation of the entire system of human services. It is hypoth- esized that the integration of service activities through the use of multineeds diagnosis and coun- seling, multiservice planning, coordinated case ac- counting and evaluation, and consolidated intake, followup, outreach, and administrative procedures will result in a more efficient and effective ap- proach to service delivery. It is further hypoth- esized that services integration can be achieved by systems analysis. Definitions of key terms and concepts in services integration are provided, and the traditional approach to service coordination and delivery is described. Features of an integrat- ed approach to service delivery are noted.

Guidelines for the redesign of social service sys- tems are presented in a draft working paper for State and local social service agencies prepared by DHEW's Social and Rehabilitation Service. Pat- terns of and a framework for building a community- based, tax-supported, and comprehensive system of services are suggested. The role of a communi- ty service center in the social welfare system is de- scribed. It is proposed that such a center provide services that are goal-oriented. The following goals are recommended: strengthen family life and enhance family stability, combat dependency by assisting individuals in realizing their full capacity for self-support and independent living, promote the welfare and development of children, protect children in danger of neglect or abuse, assist indi- viduals in attaining or retaining personal independ- ence and self-care, and protect adults in danger of neglect or abuse. A center's services should reach consumers through a master service unit, function- al service units, social service resources, and serv- ice facilitating functions. It is recommended that a community service center offer its services to all persons who need and seek help. Consideration is given to the following aspects of comprehensive service delivery through a community service center: community planning and development, evaluation research and analysis, resource mobili- zation, consumer participation, manpower devel- opment and training, public affairs, management and administration, and funding. Exhibits are ap- pended which illustrate operational aspects of a community service center. SHR-0000668 PC A05/MF A01 Patterns of State - Regional Cooperation in Ne- braska Prem Lata Bansal.

The degree to which various agencies in Nebraska have delegated authority to multijurisdictional re- gional organizations is examined. Patterns of au- thority delegation by State agencies to substate re- gional organizations are evaluated in terms of their effectiveness in achieving the goals of decentral- ization. Changing concepts of federalism and de- centralization are discussed. An outline of the basic lexicon used in studying decentralization is provided. Functions of decentralization are noted, along with the variety of forms it may assume and arguments for and against it. The study of regional- ism and decentralization in Nebraska was de- signed to build an empirical typology of regional operations for various State agencies, with special attention to the type (political or administrative) of authority delegation and degree of personnel and fiscal control at the State level. Another purpose of the study was to examine the potential relationship between several types of decentralization and citi- zen subjective feelings of alienation, participation, and control in regional decisionmaking. Informa- tion for the study was obtained through a survey questionnaire sent to 63 Nebraska departments, agencies, boards, and commissions. A total of 37 agencies responded to the survey questionnaire. Four models of decentralization are evaluated: (1) bureaucratic model; (2) governmental model; (3) supervisory model; and (4) advisory model. Em- phasis is placed on the capabilities of a council of governments to achieve regional decentralization. Appendices provide additional information on the regional cooperation study in Nebraska and the survey questionnaire form used. A bibliography is included.

Factors involved in the release of clients from State-supported institutions in Oregon are dis- cussed. Deinstitutionalization is viewed as a proc- ess and not as a single event, and definitional con- siderations associated with the deinstitutionalization process are presented. Pro- grammatic considerations involved in this process are also examined. The problem of community readiness for released clients is addressed in terms of community attitudes and financial re- sources and the possibility of counterproductive efforts from community programs. The problem of overextension is considered. Processes by which a client can be served are noted along with factors that determine the costs of deinstitutionalization. Overall policies of Oregon's Department of Human Resources are reviewed that support a deinstitutionalization program. Specific actions taken by the department to ensure the successful implementation of these policies are noted: (1) for- mation of a Human Resources Facilities Advisory Committee; (2) formation of an interdivisional task force to describe community support systems; (3) a commitment to continue evaluating the effective- ness of the program; (4) an intent to ensure maxi- mum Federal funds without a total dependence on them; and (5) the continued refinement of a model by which department budgets and programs can be presented in an understandable manner.

The following target services are evaluated in terms of their availability: preplacement planning and followup services, community living options, community health services, community education and training, employment, mobility, and community leisure time activities. Three major issues are identified as cru- cial to the successful deinstitutionalization of the mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, men- tally and emotionally disturbed, and alcohol and drug clients: (1) followup services (i.e., a plan for monitored, consistent, and continuous followup services), made prior to a client's departure from an institution and which involves staff of the institu- tion, staff of several community agencies, and the client; (2) day plans (i.e., a workable plan for the client to have recreation, work, or training available in the community); and (3) living facilities (i.e., the return to a client's natural home or, when needed, an appropriate range of supervised living arrange- ments suited to the needs of each client).

The problem of the confidentiality of record-keep- ing systems is outlined, existing legislative trends and statutes regarding confidentiality are ana- lyzed, and actions to be taken by the Oregon State Department of Human Resources in the areas of privacy, confidentiality, and security are recom- mended. The review of Federal and State legisla- tion indicates that a DHEW report on 'Records, Computers and the Rights of Citizens' is having a unifying effect on most legislation. The review of Oregon legislation suggests that the State has less need for legislation than for administrative action in the areas of privacy, confidentiality, and security. The recommendations set forth call for: (1) the en- dorsement of the basic recommendations in the DHEW report; (2) the provision of information to the public concerning the basis of the Depart- ment's 'need to know', the types of information collected and regulations governing its confiden- tiality and security, and the uses made of the infor- mation collected; (3) the development of stand- ards for establishing an information requester's need to know; (4) the establishment of an adminis- trative systems task force to serve as the Depart- ment's internal privacy review board and as a link with the State's Data Processing Commission; (5) an analysis of the State Mental Health Division's informed consent procedure for data-sharing to determine its practicality for department-wide ap- plication; and (6) the maintenance of awareness in the areas of privacy, confidentiality, and security through following Federal legislative trends and in- suring progress reports to the State's Human Re- sources Interim Committee.

A model for the development and maintenance of a system for the delivery of high quality and acces- sible social and health-related services is de- scribed. The system is designed to provide maxi- mum accessibility through a centralized intake and referral agency and a transportation network. The heart of the system is the work of the central intake service unit, which can exist with or without a cen- tral physical facility in which to locate agencies. The model provides for three possible levels of in- volvement or three types of relationships that agencies might have to the central intake service unit. An important aspect of the information and referral component of the system is the gathering and cataloging of specific information regarding services already in existence, their location, and eligibility requirements. The model was developed by project staff of Region 10, West Virginia, and the BEL-O-MAR Regional Council, Wheeling, West Virginia. Model documentation provides details of researching and cataloging activities, determina- tion of needs and interests of local agencies, orga- nization of a steering committee, identification of overlaps and gaps in services, central intake / in- formation and referral activities, funding, and a transportation system which emerged as a third component of the basic system. The model, though geared to the services for the aging in Region X, will provide the entire Appalachian region with an easily replicated approach to health and welfare service system organization.

This information / referral (l/R) program locates and identifies all resource and service agencies and organizations available for senior citizens in the Amarillo, Texas area. When a senior citizen contacts the l/R program with a need or problem, he is referred to the agency or organization best suited to serve him. The delivery of an information / referral system involves five major components: program staff or representatives, resource data bank and participating agencies, senior citizen cli- ents, referrals or information provided by the l/R staff, and followup communication between l/R staff and clients.

Principles and issues associated with the practice of advocacy in the human service field are dis- cussed in a guide directed to Area Agencies on Aging. Advocacy is considered within the context of the negotiation function of the agencies, i.e., their efforts to influence community decisions on the allocation and use of resources. Four aspects of the advocate role - objectives, approach, orga- nizational position, and style - are examined. Guidelines for selecting the most appropriate ap- proach in a given situation are offered. Factors to be considered in selecting an advocacy approach include the nature of the issue, the positions of the planner and of others on the issue and on other pending issues, the relative importance of the issue to clients, the personalities of the advocates and other actors and how the community views them, the advocate's organizational position and commitments, the degree of political solidarity and influence of the client group, the degree of public support for the issue, and the extent to which the issue touches on other politically sensitive matters. The social benefits and costs of advocacy are dis- cussed. Agencies are warned against becoming more concerned with administrators' problems than with the problems of the elderly.

Three Pennsylvania social service systems with varying degrees of service integration are com- pared with respect to the achievement of three ob- jectives: offering a client a single location for all services, providing continuing service as his needs change over time, and coordinating his treatment with that of his family. Four research hypotheses are generated: (1) efforts to generalize services will result in greater generalization in intake and followup, less generalization on problem diagnosis and service prescription, and least generalization in service delivery; (2) services generalization is accompanied by substantial information exchange among personnel; (3) information exchange also occurs in a successful fragmented system; and (4) generalization through administrative centraliza- tion is more successful than voluntary generaliza- tion, which is more successful than a fragmented system. Generalization of services and of person- nel is considered more desirable than centralizing specialized services; however, the constraint of a single human being's capacity to generalize is noted. Analysis of the administratively generalized United Services Agency (U.S.A.) of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. the voluntarily generalized and centralized Mon Valley Community Health Center of Monnes- sen, Pa. and the fragmented system of Lacka- wanna County ,Pa., supports the first three hypoth- eses. Because Mon Valley's single location is con- sidered superior to U.S.A.'s five locations, the fourth hypothesis is not supported fully. It is noted that Lackawanna functions well despite fragmen- tation because of its rich communication network. Schematic model representations of the three sys- tems and tabular data are included.

The study estimates the logistical advantages for consumers which result from offering the services of several former categorical agencies in geo- graphically decentralized multiservice centers of the United Services Agency (USA) in Pennsylva- nia. Emphasis is placed on areas in Luzerne County where initiation of the USA modified con- sumer access to desired services. Improved access, miles of travel and USA savings for con- sumers, consumer dollar and time savings, and consumer advantages from decentralized centers are analyzed. Mileage, cost, and time savings were demonstrated for approximately 40 percent of con- sumer trips to centers, as represented by service contacts. Rural consumers assumed a dispropor- tionate share of travel costs but were favored to a slightly greater extent by decentralization than were urban consumers. The impact of decentral- izations was influenced by both distance of the center from former agencies and contact volume. Consumer savings were estimated to be 9.3 miles, 19 minutes, and $1.12 per round trip. Total savings for the month of April, 1975, were estimated as 34,000 miles, 1,170 hours, and $4,090. Some con- sumers saved more than others when many trips to a center were required and when trips to two or more categorical agencies would have been nec- essary. For 1975, it was determined that consumer savings were about 400,000 miles, 14,000 hours, and $49,000. A list of references is provided.

Ques- tionnaires used in the four Delphi rounds are ap- pended, as is the final product of eight subdivided objectives such as: '3. To deliver services, the agency should: e) establish procedures for effec- tive and accurate referrals of clients to services.' An onsite panel convened in State College, Pa., rank ordered and weighted the objectives on a scale of 1 to 100 points. Final weights are tabulat- ed. The resulting weighted sum index was used to compare the United Services Agency (USA) of Wy- oming-Luzerne Counties and the Lackawanna County agencies providing social welfare services comparable to those of the USA, including child welfare, aging, county board of assistance, mental health/mental retardation, and day care. Equa- tions used and details of the analysis by a panel of evaluators are included. Mean ratings by system for each objective are tabulated.

The impact of general revenue sharing on social planning and social programs in seven sites delib- erately chosen for their innovative use of funds is analyzed. The investigation illustrates ways in which cities and counties can use revenue-sharing funds to improve community welfare. The use of revenue sharing for community welfare programs is termed social revenue sharing, a concept in- tended to describe the content of new systems of community involvement, planning, and administra- tion for social welfare. Characteristics of social rev- enue sharing are delineated, and social issues in- volved in revenue sharing are discussed. In the seven study sites, a 'best case' methodology was employed to examine revenue-sharing develop- ments. The following sites were selected for study: San Diego, California (both city and county); Orange County, California; Los Angeles County, California; Seattle, Washington; Lane County and Eugene, Oregon; Alameda County, California; and Hayward, California. Data collection was accom- plished during 1975. The case study analysis for each study site focused on three principal ele- ments of revenue sharing: social planning, citizen participation, and service collaboration between public and private entities via purchase of service contracts. The initiation of revenue sharing is ad- dressed, along with formative decisions involved in social revenue sharing. Study findings are present- ed which support the thesis that unrestricted funds will strengthen local government and stimulate democratic participation. It is concluded that re- sources, capacities, and values existing at the local government level can sustain an independent social policy realm apart from special Federal pressures and incentives.

Con- tracting for the purchase of social services is con- sidered to be one aspect of the total service deliv- ery system. It is a method available to public agen- cies to provide services according to their State plans. It is noted that issues and problems inherent in contracting are numerous and complex and often involve fundamental questions of policy or- ganization and the proper roles of public and pri- vate sector agencies and institutions. It is also noted that States and many counties in Region IX are developing contracting experience and exper- tise toward solving the practical problems of con- tract administration. An appendix contains a checklist of contract terms and conditions POS survey findings, and the POS survey questionnaire. A list of references is provided.

The development of a computerized information system regarding day care centers for the South Carolina Office of Child Development (OCD) is de- scribed. The system was developed in six phases, beginning with approval by the South Carolina De- partment of Social Services and the State Budget and Control Board in May 1975. Phase II consisted of a comprehensive study of the problems and needs associated with the administration of public- ly - supported day care centers, leading to a gener- al design for an integrated information system. Three data collection instruments were developed in the third phase: the client / guardian record, the center record, and the employee record. Phase IV involved seeking the acceptance, cooperation, and approval of the OCD Information System by 360 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT day care centers. The implementation of the system was completed in Phases V and VI. It is concluded that, with the OCD Information System, the existing staff can become more productive; without the information system, maintaining client information requires additional time, both clerical and professional, to collect and process inquiries and make case service determinations. Without the OCD Information System, the risk of inaccurate and duplicate information is found to be greater. Sample printouts generated by the system are in- cluded.

A human services information system (HSIS) proj- ect conducted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is described. It was envisioned that project results could be used in the implementation of more effi- cient and effective arrangements for service agency operations in direct service, service-sup- portive, planning, administrative, and information functional areas. Efficiency and effectiveness standards were established to serve as guidelines in evaluating coordination among these functional areas. The approach taken in the HSIS project in- volved five steps: (1) develop a language or dic- tionary of service terms; (2) inventory the services system using the dictionary in order to have a common framework for a comparison of all agen- cies; (3) design more efficient and effective service delivery alternatives; (4) test the proposed alterna- tives on a demonstration basis; and (5) implement the successfully tested alternatives. Key findings and recommendations of the HSIS project are summarized, and the planning structure proposed to oversee future planning and implementation ef- forts is described. Appended materials include an organizational chart of the proposed planning structure, a sampling of comments from agency representatives as regards the project recommen- dations, a statement on the Allied Services Act of 1974, a statement indicating the relevancy of the project results to the Allied Services Act, a list of agencies included in the HSIS program inventory, and a list of project reports.

Recommendations on the coordination of informa- tion and planning capabilities are presented that resulted from a human services information system (HSIS) project conducted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Five major functional areas of service agency involvement are noted with regard to the coordination of information and plan- ning capabilities: (1) direct service programs and activities; (2) service-supportive programs and ac- tivities; (3) planning programs and activities; (4) ad- ministrative programs and activities; and (5) infor- mation programs and activities. Recommenda- tions are based on a program inventory of 158 agencies in Lancaster County, detailed planning efforts (system design reports and operation and procedures manuals developed by the HSIS proj- ect team), interviews with approximately 40 agen- cies to obtain critical review and input, and stand- ards for a human services system. The establish- ment of efficient and effective standards for a human service delivery system is examined, and program components of such a system are listed. Recommended opportunities for coordination by functional area are listed, and requirements for im- plementing the recommendations are delineated.

Generalizations gleaned from a project involving a computerized human service resource file and a computer-based microform resource directory are offered in the form of guidelines for planning com- munity resource information systems. The project on which the guidelines are based was the Phila- delphia Regional Health and Welfare Council's In- formation Referral Analysis System (IRAS), a fully computerized, on-line information system with a data base covering over 20,000 service programs available in a five-county area. The IRAS, after several months of operation, was reconceptua- lized as a community resource system, i.e., an in- formation storage and retrieval system designed to give access to a large, indexed file of descriptive information about human service providers for use in support of information and referral services. The guidelines are presented as a tri-stage, multiphase model integrating the styles of social planning and systems analysis. The principles described are most applicable to the planning of automated re- source information systems, but are relevant to the organization of manual and semi-automated re- source files and directories as well. Among the specific tasks addressed are problem definition, identification of alternatives, file and record design, data base size and content determination, index- ing, and system monitoring and evaluation. Em- phasis is placed on the development and manage- ment of a system oriented to the needs of its users and capable of meeting their resource information requirements efficiently.

The major purpose of the addendum to the SID (Service Integration for Deinstitutionalization) report is to provide updated information on the status of three previously unresolved issues: (1) funding of the SID model after September 30, 1975; (2) integration of the model into State and local governmental structures; and (3) develop- ment of community teams to serve multi-need, noninstitutionalized clients. The status of the model vis-a-vis the three issues has remained es- sentially unchanged since the writing of Volume Seven. Funding for 1 976 has been established, but the committee of commissioners has made no de- cision regarding the future of the model after that date. The organizational structure outlined in the project's original grant has been maintained pri- marily by inaction. Although the committee of com- missioners voiced opposition to retaining the exist- ing organizational structure over the long-term, staff suggestions concerning alternative arrange- ments have not been acted upon. The develop- ment of community teams to serve multi-need local residents has shown progress. At the time of writing, teams were functioning in each SID dem- onstration area, and personnel from a variety of agencies were making referrals. It is suggested that the events reported in the addendum support an earlier hypothesis that the strength of the SID model rests at the local rather than the State level. The addendum also contains updated quantitative results related to the client outcome information presented in Volume Four, as well as a summary of recent developments in the automated information system.

The structure, functions, and procedures of the Project SID (Service Integration for Deinstitutionalization) assessment and prescrip- tion teams are described and placed within the context of the SID model in a manual directed pri- marily to team members. The interdisciplinary as- sessment and prescription, or community re- source, teams are composed of a coalition of serv- ice delivery professionals and comprise a central component of the SID model. Team membership includes representatives of the 12 State agencies sponsoring the model's development in Virginia. The team assesses each client, makes a decision with respect to the client's individual suitability for community residence, and writes a prescription de- tailing services required to meet the client's needs in the community, or, if the client requires institu- tional services, to maximize the client's functioning within the institution. Team assumes quasi-legiti- mate authority in the form of making recommenda- tions for client movement, overseeing service de- livery activities and serving as a focus for inter- change on service integration matters. Another component of the SID model, the broker advocate, compiles the assessment information, receives the prescription, signals the team when service plans are complete, and monitors the client's receipt of services in the community or institution. The team manual fully documents each of the client process- 361 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT ing procedures. Also included in the manual are examples of assessment summaries; sample pre- scription documents; definitions of community placement prescription elements; sample recom- mendation process documents; examples of pre- scription summary and fulfillment of institutional prescription reports; a sample client status report; and sample resource search results and client status update.

Progress of the Syracuse / Onondaga County (New York) Services Integration Project toward the development of a community capacity for planning in human services is documented. The project's objectives are the development and establishment of a data bank for human services, located and structured in such a way as to assure its continued quality and use. Community input during the devel- opmental period comes from three task forces in the areas of health, education, and social services, and from additional ad hoc groups. The data bank initially will have three files: (1) comprehensive data on community services; (2) information about the clients and their service needs; and (3) infor- mation from followup on referrals, indicative of the degree to which needs are met. The services infor- mation system represents the first component of the data bank. Services information is indexed, up- dated on a monthly basis, and placed on microfilm for use in six demonstration sites in the community in support of information and referral activities. When fully operational, information will flow back and forth between providers and the data bank for their mutual benefit - raw data to the data bank, and processed data back to those planning human services. The report includes summaries of activi- ties related to the development of a service taxon- omy and of agency profiles, indexing, data collec- tion, and site selection for microfilm readers. As of spring 1976, the project was responding to seven or eight requests for services information per week. The cost of a single services information system update is estimated at $433.95.

The effectiveness of an elderly outreach program operated through seven neighborhood centers in Worcester, Massachusetts, as evaluated by the Office of Human Service Programs, is documented in a report to the Worcester Council on Aging. The focus of the evaluation is on the program's first year of operation. The purpose of the outreach program was to provide outreach services to the elderly of Worcester, including door to door per- sonal contact, social service information, short- term supportive services, and referrals and follow- up to ensure that adequate services were ren- dered. An additional goal was to integrate elders into ongoing programs of the neighborhood cen- ters, including self-help and socialization. The evaluation report documents the goals of the study and the methods used to evaluate the outreach service. Most findings are based upon information obtained in interviews with sample outreach pro- gram clients. Demographic characteristics of the Worcester community are described briefly. Survey findings are presented and discussed with regard to number of elderly outreach contacts achieved by the program; by referral, direct serv- ice, and information service activities; and by per- formance of elderly outreach workers.

These counties were the target areas in 1971 for a federally funded proj- ect known as Montana's Rural Social Service De- livery System. This project was charged with the development of a delivery system for services in a rural area for anyone regardless of income. As part of the project, a needs assessment survey was conducted for the population aged 60 and over. Demographic characteristics of the five-county area were surveyed, and procedures were devel- oped for use in the presentation of survey data. Random sampling techniques were employed in the needs survey, and 690 interviews were com- pleted. Survey data are presented in tabular form with regard to perceived and actual problems of elderly persons in the sample population. The con- cept of causality is emphasized in relating inde- pendent survey variables (age, sex, income, mari- tal status, home care and ownership, religion, race, place of residence, and education) to dependent variables (attitudes, health conditions, transporta- tion problems, dietary habits, and conditions of social and physical isolation).

Extensive changes are proposed in the structure of the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services and in the system by which social, reha- bilitative, and health services are provided in Wis- consin communities. The proposed reorganization consists of two stages. During the interim stage (scheduled for July 1 975 to July 1 977) programs at the central and field levels would be more closely coordinated and integrated. At the central level, as Assistance Secretary for Services Integration would coordinate programs on matters of interdivi- sional concern. A Division of Policy Development and Planning would be established and Divisions of Income Maintenance and Management Re- sources would be created. The concept of commu- nity human service boards and programs would be implemented at the field and community level. The community human service pilot programs would be assessed during the second phase, commencing July 1977. If the community human service pro- grams are considered successful, the Department would implement integrated community service programs throughout the State. These programs would assume responsibility for most social and health care services within the State's communi- ties.

Transportation Needs and Resources for Human Services 26 Apr 76, 76p Keywords: 'Transportation, 'Social services, Services, Public health, Physically handicapped, Medical services, Elderly persons, Minnesota, 'Minneapolis(Minnesota), 'Saint Paul(Minnesota), Surveys. Results are reported of a survey to determine the extent to which social and health agencies in the Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota area provide or purchase transportation services for their clients and the modes used for such transportation. Of the 283 agencies receiving a mailed questionnaire, 219 agencies responded (77 percent). It was found that transportation is provided to their clientele by many health, recreation, and social agencies. These agencies provide two types of transporta- tion: bringing the client to the agency and taking the staff or services to their client's home. Be- cause of the lack of a coordinated approach, an independent agency-by-agency development of transportation has occurred. The annual expendi- ture for transportation for human services agen- cies in 1975 was around S2 million; about 85 per- cent of this was for purchased or reimbursed serv- ices and only 1 3 percent was expended for agency - owned vehicles. Most agencies do not attempt to determine the cost of providing transportation to direct service consumers. Unmet transportation needs include more drivers and more vehicles over a wider geographic area. Recommendations are offered concerning: examination of costs, co- operation with other agencies, vehicle use and maintenance, and a charge for transportation.

Following an overview of Lane County, general objectives are delineated for the following broad goals: (1) to establish a decentral- ized, client-accessible human service delivery net- work in a timely, economic, and appropriate manner; (2) to establish coordinative and decision- making mechanisms to facilitate interagency rela- tionships and improve the provision of human services; and (3) to establish a system of informa- tion use to enhance client service, coordination, and management function by sharing and utilizing commonly appropriate information. Strategies for implementation of service delivery programs, co- ordination and decisionmaking, and use of infor- mation are outlined. Four levels of coordination are examined: colocating service agencies, decentral- izing of policymaking, unifying categorical planners into a single comprehensive structure, and sharing common information. Some different service deliv- ery formats are examined. Appendices contain ref- erences and supporting tabular data. SHR-0000805 PC A04/MF A01 West Virginia Office of the Governor, Charleston.

Research on deinstitutionalization in Maryland is reported and based on a review of State agency plans and a series of interviews with individuals in- volved in the deinstitutionalization process. It is noted that deinstitutionalization results from a change to a philosophy of care and treatment that discourages reliance and dependence upon insti- tutional care and encourages the development of alternatives to institutionalization. Deinstitutionalization efforts in Maryland's Depart- ment of Health and Mental Hygiene, Department of Human Resources, Department of Education, and Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services are reviewed. Conflicting State regula- tions that could impede deinstitutionalization ef- forts are noted along with conflicting State poli- cies, staffing problems, problems associated with the re-use of buildings vacated by deinstitutionalization, financial problems, lack of supportive services for deinstitutionalized clients, and community issues in the implementation of deinstitutionalization policies and programs. Rec- ommendations are made for solving problems as- sociated with deinstitutionalization in Maryland. In- terviews conducted with Maryland agency officials are listed in an appendix.

The study was sponsored by the National Project on Education for Management of Social Welfare and was jointly conducted during 1974-75 by the School of Social Work and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Educa- tional objectives and the components of manage- ment and administration are emphasized. Criteria are presented for the selection of field placement agencies, for the selection of field assignments, and for statements of obligation which should exist between school and placement setting with re- spect to the provision of learning opportunities. The guidelines that specify field assignments are organized around a set of concepts reflecting trends in administrative practice toward manageri- al aspects of administration. The contents of a two-semester course in program evaluation for social services are discussed. Major issues facing educators in the development of interprofessional educational programs for the management of social welfare are examined. Recommendations are made on major curriculum content for joint educational programs on the management of social welfare. Consideration is given to manage- ment in the nonprofit social service organization and to professional and bureaucratic conflicts in social agencies.

Based on a study of the governance and manage- ment framework of the human services delivery system in Planning District Five of Utah, recom- mendations for modifying the system are offered in a committee report to the Five-County Association of Governments. The recommendations reflect two years' experience of a human services integra- tion project undertaken to develop an integrated delivery system and to test the feasibility of an inte- grated local-State-Federal partnership in human services delivery. The project was intended to test the following concepts: delivery of services through a network of district centers; information and referral services directly connected to func- tional services; integration and colocation of State agency programs; alternative approaches related to support systems; and consolidation or reorgani- zation at the State level to facilitate support of local system development. The district's service delivery system was planned and implemented on the basic principle that service delivery should be more accountable to the local community through local public officials, and that those officials should be involved in planning, administration, and evalu- ation of the system at a meaningful level. The rec- ommendations offered reflect findings of inter- views with local public officials and a review of or- ganizational aspects of the system. Alternative ap- proaches to modification are developed relative to the community governance and involvement framework of the system, staff and support serv- ices, and reorganization of the human services council. The report provides a detailed review of the approach taken to developing the modification alternatives and recommendations. SHR-0000826 PC A04/MF A01 Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., Ga.

The evaluation was conducted from January to June 1975 and com- pared actual SIS performance during this period with performance levels of the previous year. It was found that: 1975 intake was 1.1 percent lower than 1974 intake level; 1975 referrals were 57.9 percent higher than in 1974; an average of 2.8 re- ferrals per client was reported in 1 975 and an aver- age of 1 . 1 referrals was reported in 1 974; 75.4 per- cent more loans for emergency assistance were made in 1975 than 1974; and a 15.7 percent in- crease in the number of families on file occurred from 1974 to 1975. It was concluded that SIS per- formance was satisfactory. However, costs tended to be somewhat disproportionate.

A discussion on intergovernmental service agree- ments, functional transfers, and the modernization of county governments is presented. The use of formal and informal intergovernmental service agreements by local governments for the provision of services to their citizens by other local govern- ments is discussed. It is noted that such agree- ments facilitate the solution of local and areawide problems without necessitating the structural reor- ganization of a metropolitan area's governmental system. The results of a 1972 survey of 5,900 in- corporated municipalities with a population of over 2,500 are presented. The survey was conducted to obtain data on intergovernmental agreements in- volving 76 services. The results of a 1971 survey are presented that involved 3,047 counties. This survey was conducted to obtain information on services provided for individual local governments within each county on a contract basis, joint basis with local governments in each county, and jointly or under contract with another county. The perma- nent transfer of responsibility for functions and components of functions is discussed, and rea- sons for such transfer are noted. The moderniza- tion of county governments is addressed, and the county management system in the Republic of Ire- land is described. It is concluded that the system of metropolitan governance in the United States will continue to undergo incremental changes rather than revolutionary changes in most areas.

The role of metropolitan governance in solving local government problems at the State level is discussed. Relations between State and local gov- ernments are examined from a historical perspec- tive and in terms of home rule. It is pointed out that a State government may play one of three roles in the formation of metropolitan governments: inhibi- tor, facilitator, or initiator. Direct actions taken by States to solve local government problems are noted with an emphasis on the Twin Cities Metro- politan Council. The Twin Cities model of metro- politan governance is a federated one in which powers are divided between the upper tier unit (Metropolitan Council) and lower tier units (coun- ties and municipalities). Details on the Twin Cities model are provided, along with inherent advan- tages and disadvantages. State-controlled public authorities are discussed with New York State being used as an example to illustrate the authority approach to solving areawide problems. One of 365 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT the major problems associated with the use of State authorities stems from their creation on an ad hoc basis. Another problem of State authorities is the result of a lack of voter control over authori- ties. Popularly controlled metropolitan federations are addressed in relation to a metropolitan county model for strengthening local government. The es- tablishment of a metropolitan federation in Toron- to, Canada is discussed. It is concluded that States should facilitate the establishment of popularly controlled federations in each metropolitan area to aid in the solution of metropolitan problems.

An assessment is presented of 36 TASC (Treat- ment Alternatives to Street Crime) programs di- rected toward identification of drug abusers who come into contact with the criminal justice system, referral of these individuals to treatment programs, and monitoring of treatment progress. The report, which provides an evaluative framework and state- of-knowledge assessment of the TASC programs, represents part of Phase I of the National Evalua- tion Program sponsored by the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. Past stud- ies and original data analysis are summarized for project operations and outcomes and the external factors affecting both. Among functions analyzed are identification of potential clients, referral to treatment, monitoring of clients, direct service de- livery, and management. Various stages of TASC client flow - pretrial intervention, diversion, post- trial process -- are analyzed as are availability and use of resources. Program impact on clients and on the environment, as well as cost-benefit analy- ses, are considered. Major findings include the fol- lowing: (1) TASC clients experienced an eight per- cent rearrest rate during program participation; (2) outcome data are not available on clients after leaving the program; (3) 55 percent of TASC cli- ents are receiving treatment for the first time; (4) little information exists on whether TASC projects actually reduce the processing burdens of the criminal justice system or improve the system's in- terface with treatment programs; (5) the six pro- jects which completed the two-year maximum Fed- eral funding period were institutionalized by State or local funding; and (6) the most serious gap in knowledge is the lack of followup analysis of the outcomes of former TASC clients.

The progress made in 2 years by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in six Texas counties is described. Transportation services have been increased in an attempt to achieve the AAA goal of helping older people remain in home and be independent for as long as possible. Photographs show how the AAA programs provide companionship and assistance in county centers. The AAA provides seed money to initiate projects; local governments, community organizations, and churches donate funds, and the senior citizens themselves plan fundraising pro- jects. The service projects performed by senior citizens included quiltmaking to raise money for senior centers, rebuilding the inside of an old bank to use as a community center, and volunteer serv- ices to help other senior citizens. The AAA and McLennan Community College have worked out an educational program; other counties have arts and crafts classes and entertainment programs. In McLennan County, the Homemakers' Service pro- gram handles 90 active cases at once, and the Senior Lunch and Activities Program (SLAP) feeds 667 persons weekly. Transportation to a SLAP site or van service to stores or appointments is de- scribed. More than 400 persons in McLennan County receive a hot lunch from the Meals-on- Wheels program, and a small community in Bosque County serves lunch in the school cafete- ria for isolated elderly people. In these ways senior citizens help themselves, each other, and the rest of the community; the community, in turn, helps its senior citizens.

Improving Human Service Funding in Greater Indianapolis Apr 75, 91 p Keywords: 'Financing, 'Social services, Coordina- tion, Financial management, Grants, Integration, Joining, Local government, Management, Method- ology, State government, Indiana, 'lndianapolis(lndiana). Ways in which better human services delivery could be obtained in the Indianapolis, Indiana area through improved funding are explored. It is con- cluded that financing can be improved through the cooperation of local and State funding entities. The objectives of such cooperation are to: estab- lish incentives and benefits for cooperation; remove obstacles to cooperation; establish mech- anisms for improved funding; and provide technol- ogy for facilitating improved funding. It is urged that a plan be developed by an initial planning body representing funding entities serving Greater In- dianapolis and that early arrangements be made for sharing financial information about level and coverage of funding. The initial planning body should establish mechanisms to improve human service funding, including information sharing, joint planning and development, and joint decisionmak- ing. The recommendation for cooperation is based on an assessment of the characteristics, fund flow practices, and funding practices of the funding en- tities. This analysis identifies compatibilities, common problems, shared concerns, and con- straints. SHR-0000888 PC A08/MF A01 Chattanooga Housing Authority, Tenn.

A summary evaluation is presented of a research and demonstration project undertaken to improve services to the elderly in the State of Florida. The purpose of Project IN-STEP, a three-year program funded by DHEW, was to develop model service delivery systems for the elderly, with particular em- phasis on integrating nutritional services such as congregate dining and nutrition education with more traditional social services. A central adminis- trative office in Tallahassee exercised varying de- grees of control over three local projects in Dade County, Pinellas County, and Palm Beach County. Each local project developed different administra- tive structure and relationship to the State office, as well as different program emphases. The sum- mary evaluation chronologically traces the events connected with Project IN-STEP, introduces and briefly summarizes the various needs and service assessments and other reports prepared in the course of the State's evaluation of the project, and presents general conclusions arrived at during the evaluation. The project is said to have been suc- cessful in that it generated information on how and how not to plan and implement a services integra- tion project for the elderly.

A methodology is described which was used by a representative committee of citizens of Charles- ton, West Virginia to rank social, health, and recre- ational programs in order to determine how United Fund resources should be distributed. One of the fundamental concepts underlying this methodolo- gy is goal satisfaction, and, once organizational goals are selected, a set of measures is developed to reflect how each proposed program meets its goals. These measurements provide a basis for: determining program funding priorities, establish- ing the specific program needs of the community, and providing feedback to other social welfare agencies to help them plan their programs effec- tively. The goals proposed by the United Way of America Services Identification System were rede- fined to make them pertinent to the community or- ganizations in question. Because these goals were too vague, each goal was partitioned into mutually independent subgoals. Weights are assigned to the goals according to their importance by citizens and the sum of the goal weights equals the totality of social good. The evaluation of a given program against each criteria is on the basis of the impact each program would have on the determinant of community need represented by that criteria. It is pointed out that this procedure does not attempt to minimize the value and effectiveness of proce- dures involving surveys, data collection, and more expansive community participation. This proce- dure can complement more elaborate procedures. It is not a resource allocaton methodology, but an 368 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT evaluation of the order of priority of programs re- questing funding. References are included.

Goals and objectives for human services are de- scribed which may serve as criteria for the imple- mentation of a more efficient and effective human service delivery system in McLean County, Illinois. The socioeconomic composition of the population in McLean County is examined, and migration pat- terns are described. Goals and objectives devel- oped for the county are based on four key ele- ments: (1) social service inventory of approximate- ly 95 agencies; (2) systems analysis of about 37 major indirect and direct component areas; (3) in- terviews with approximately 65 individuals and agencies; and (4) planning document review. Direct services are defined to include material needs, physical health, education, training, reha- bilitation, employment, group socialization, thera- peutic services, community participation and main- tenance, and supportive services. Indirect services pertain to information, planning, and administra- tion. The organization of services in McLean County is described and illustrated. The overall goal in the county is to develop an integrated deliv- ery system of human service programs that is rea- sonably accessible to all eligible residents and ca- pable of promoting self-sufficiency in a timely and adequate manner. Seven subgoals are delineated, along with goals and objectives for specific types of direct and indirect services. The goals and ob- jectives questionnaire is included.

The development of a social services information system (SSIS) for the San Joaquin County, Califor- nia Department of Public Assistance is described. The objectives were to convert the manual system to an automated, goal-oriented, social services in- formation system and to evaluate it as a manage- ment tool. The initial task was to review the manual system and determine a conceptual design for the automated system. Following the development of the conceptual design and preparation of design specifications, the SSIS was monitored and evalu- ated. It was found that the SSIS provides for case load, operational, and program management. Among the specific benefits are: a goal-barrier- service orientation, uniformity of service, integra- tion of data collection, case management support, and program-line management support.

Two human service umbrella agencies, the Ver- mont Agency of Human Services and the Massa- chusetts Executive Office of Human Services, are examined. The agencies are not evaluated, but are studied to learn what initiatives have been taken to integrate the human service delivery system, what has been accomplished, and how these efforts may have been hindered. It is suggested that nei- ther the Vermont nor the Massachusetts agency has lived up to its potential or fulfilled its expecta- tions. It is also noted that the development of both agencies has been uneven, and the hostility of many of the principal actors in the human services environment has never been overcome. In addi- tion, fiscal crises have checked most initiatives and incentives for innovation. Four general conclu- sions are drawn: human services integration has not been achieved in either State; the traditions of the State in relation to human services delivery have mitigated against services integration; human services integration has not been a priority in Mas- sachusetts or Vermont; and from a study of these two agencies, it is impossible to determine whether umbrella agencies are the appropriate mecha- nisms for achieving Statewide services integration. Recommended DHEW actions include: special grants to undertake integration efforts, relaxation of waiver requirements, and more technical assist- ance.

Trends in decentralization of human services are examined in a report based on data gathered in visits to major cities from November 1973 to June 1974. The discussion touches on types of neigh- borhood facilities and the services they provide, staffing, funding, ownership, management, coordi- nation, citizen participation, and evaluation. Multi- service centers and neighborhood city halls along with other decentralized facilities are a reality in many cities. The organizational structure of the de- centralized systems differs according to the type of decentralization. The selection of staff for neigh- borhood facilities often is a joint venture of the neighborhood and the facility. The neighborhood facility's success depends in large part on the abili- ty of its director to work within the local bureaucra- cy or to subvert the bureaucracy in order to deliver satisfactory services. A substantial portion of funds for decentralized human service facilities flows from the Federal Government to the city, where local matching funds may be added. Human serv- ice decentralization often is subject to problems of coordination, because there are so many pro- grams administered by diverse agencies. Citizen participation is essential to decentralization but may in itself represent an obstacle. Methods for evaluating decentralized programs are lacking. Data on decentralized services in 12 cities are in- cluded. A bibliography is provided. SHR-0000945 PC A03/MF A01 Monroe County Office of Human Resources, Rochester, N.Y.

An overview of the Child Abuse and Neglect Report and Inquiry System (CANRIS), operated by the Texas State Department of Public Welfare, and proposed revisions are given. Each of the three basic features of CANRIS operations (reporting, in- quiry, and statistics), are utilized to allow the De- partment to: identify, track, and evaluate child abuse in Texas; plan for preventive programs at the immediate worker level; and, create policy. The purpose of proposed revisions is to offer an im- proved data reporting system. This is to be accom- plished by enhancing rather than replacing the ex- isting system with improved forms and operational flows to reduce system access and turnaround times; efficient data collection and dissemination techniques; and effective linkage with the Social Services Management System of the department. Revisions proposed to achieve the preceding ob- jectives concern changes in forms, the telecom- munication screen format of CANRIS, telecommu- nications operations, data systems, data edits, ex- pungement, statistical reports, and linkage. A de- scription of intake, report processing, and output report elements of CANRIS is included, followed by numerous graphical, tabular, and narrative ex- hibits relating to CANRIS and proposed revisions.

Recommendations are offered for the creation or reorganization of barrier planning councils in Polk County and Des Moines, Iowa. Drug abuse, drug problems, and related criminal justice indicators are examined in surveys conducted by a task force on drug programming. It was found that drug abuse occurs in all residential areas of the county and en- compasses all ages and racial groups. The data also support the findings of a lack of interagency coordination and referral. As a result of the survey findings, it is recommended that alcoholism and drug barriers be incorporated as subcomponents of the existing Mental Health Barrier Planning Council. Other recommendations call for: the cre- ation of a housing barrier planning council; a merger of the job counseling and placement and the vocational training barrier councils; incorpora- tion of the unwed parent barrier into the marital and family counseling barrier planning council; in- corporation of home delivered and congregate meals barrier into the homemaker and chore bar- rier planning council; incorporation of the visual im- pairment barrier into the medical and dental barrier planning council; incorporation of extracurricular problems of children into the school-related prob- lems of children barrier council; and incorporation of the several learning and mental retardation bar- riers into existing councils with age as the distin- guishing factor.

The utilization of older adults in positions of com- munity leadership and service through a volunteer program is analyzed. A volunteer matrix for older adults is presented that considers four interacting factors: people, positions, linkage, and support. The function of older volunteer linkage organiza- tions is identified as that of a catalyst in opening opportunities for older adults to serve as volun- teers and to assist organizations in maximizing the contributions of older persons. The structure and process of a linkage mechanism are examined. Major tasks of a linkage staff team are listed. Par- ticular attention is given to older adult participation in voluntary action and factors to consider when recruiting, assigning, training, and fulfilling the needs of older volunteers. The generation of posi- tions for older volunteers is discussed. Voluntary communities and sample positions held by older volunteers and types of voluntary organizations are outlined. Types of support to be provided to older adults in voluntary programs are delineated. Such support includes training and development, reward and recognition, autonomy and decision- making opportunity, community resource alloca- tion, evaluation, planning, development, and termi- nation.

The organization of human service programs in Hennepin County, Minnesota and their reorganiza- tion under the provisions of the Human Services Act are studied. Employees from health and social services programs and agencies, including man- agerial and supervisory personnel, were asked to identify service delivery problems and to suggest solutions to meet those problems. Based on com- ment and suggestions from staff discussion groups, individual interviews, and departmental management reports, recommendations were for- mulated for the reorganization of county human service programs. It is recommended that Henne- pin County human services be organized into four major departments: health, community services, economic assistance, and court services. The guiding concept behind such a reorganization is service integration designed to avoid unnecessary duplication of services, to enhance client access to services, to improve continuity of care, to elimi- nate multiple or unclear case management re- sponsibility, and to link staff with similar service and policy concerns. The proposed structure orga- nizes primary social services on a geographically decentralized basis, while specialists and second- ary service units retain functional identity.

The activities of the Community Services Focus Team of the Norfolk Mental Health / Mental Retar- dation Services Board during its initial period of op- eration are documented. The Community Services Focus Team was established to address the co- ordination and provision of a comprehensive com- munity mental retardation services system. The goals established by the Norfolk Focus Team are: (1) to assist clients and their families in the identifi- cation of available and appropriate resources; and (2) to assist the community in the identification and development of new, needed services. The team is composed of representatives from a number of community agencies and provides a framework for bringing service providers together. A set of proce- dures for each team operation was outlined, speci- fying the manner in which referrals are made, infor- mation is gathered, parents are informed of meet- ings, review and program planning is carried out, and follow-up is carried out. The focus team con- cept emphasizes two principles: client planning is centered around how an individual can best be served in the community; and the family is actively involved in these deliberations. Tabular summaries are provided of case reports in which 46 individ- uals or families have been served. The advantages of the focus team include: improved service deliv- ery, community agency cooperation, development of relationships with providers outside the Norfolk area, and identification of community needs. It is concluded that the activities of the Community Services Focus Team during its first six months demonstrate a valuable and viable approach to serving the mentally retarded.

A two-year experience with a shared data program to establish continuity of vocational rehabilitation services is described. The California Departments of Rehabilitation and Mental Hygiene established a cooperative vocational rehabilitation program to enhance communication among State agencies serving the same target groups. The goals of the program were to: provide continuity of vocational services from hospital admission through job placement; provide early identification of patients needing vocational rehabilitation; commence vo- cational services as early as possible; provide a well-planned transition from hospital to communi- ty; and increase the number of patients leaving the hospital who become gainfully employed. Tabular data are presented for rehabilitation status accord- ing to age, sex, race, marital status, highest grade completed, and diagnosis. It was found that: age is slightly related to outcome so that older clients are more likely to be rehabilitated; female referrals are more likely to be rehabilitated than male referrals; and there is a greater tendency for clients who have completed high school or college to be reha- bilitated than for dropouts.

Responses to the concept of unifying human serv- ice planning were sought from agency executives and political and civic leaders in Minnesota in order to develop a system for linkage in planning for human services. The goal of the survey was to achieve an effective and efficient system for the delivery of human services to meet the needs of all citizens and communities in Minnesota. Three spe- cific purposes of the linkage program were to supply all direct service providers with competent planning, research, and development assistance required to enable them to carry out their designat- ed missions; to establish a working mechanism to effectively link planning authorities and agencies in human services and the providers of human serv- ices in cooperative and coordinated planning; and to provide a system to permit policymakers (both public and voluntary) in human services to make decisions on program development and funding, with the assurance that such decisions are in the best interest of a community. The concept of unify- ing human service planning was viewed favorably by respondents in the survey. There was a strong profession of interest toward action to undertake such a program. Only a few interviewees opposed the idea of a central planning and linkage system for human services in Minnesota. There was a ma- jority feeling that a central governing body should contain a proper balance among elected officials and those from the private sector. Interviews with those persons in a position to provide funding for integrated planning were almost entirely positive in nature. Most respondents felt that a division of labor among major planning agencies would be desirable in the linking of and planning for human services in Minnesota.

A fiscal management system to support the human services delivery system in a five-county area of Utah is described. The system is designed to cen- tralize functions; to eliminate multi-fiscal agents; to develop a budget and planning methodology; to establish an accounting procedure to allow comin- gling of funds and meet local, State, and Federal requirements; and to establish a centralized auto- mated payments system. The fiscal system will support integrated local-State directly coordinated agencies and staff under administrative control of the Association of Governments and the Utah De- partment of Social Services. Rationales are of- fered for development of a fiscal management system and barriers suggested by State and local agencies are identified. Included is discussion of interim measures to build an integrated health and social services fiscal and personnel management system to support the delivery system until the final fiscal management system is implemented. Fiscal management objectives and subobjectives are presented. It appears that the barriers encoun- tered in Utah would not be uncommon to other rural geographic areas and that the system might be transferable to other areas.

A profile of the Mississippi Social Service Informa- tion System (MSSIS) is presented. MSSIS is a re- cording and reporting system which allows State and local staff to share service data for administra- tive, management, and accountability purposes. The operational components of the system in- clude: client intake and problem assessment; elibi- lity requirements determination; information and referral; service delivery; case management and monitoring; and management reporting. These components are briefly described and a schematic diagram illustrates the internal organization of the components. Several additional features, including a resource directory / file, administrative service program (budget), and evaluation components have been designed and will eventually be oper- ational. It is noted that there are actually two sys- tems within the MSSIS: one for the regular service program and one for the Work Incentive (WIN) service program. Although both programs use the same input forms and the same data processing procedures, certain system files are separately maintained for each program. The reasons for these and other differences, plus some other dif- ferentiating factors, are explained. The following features of the MSSIS are considered unique: it was purposely designed to be very simple and usable, as were the client input forms, and the system includes a 'measurement of achievement' component which involves a comparison of the cli- ent's 'final current condition' and the 'objective condition' singled out by the service plan goal. The profile describes these special features of the system, and in addition discusses the data system and the role of data output, coordination and trans- fer activities, system utility, staffing and training characteristics, and the planning, development, and future plans of the system.

A profile is presented of the Regional Information and Referral Support System (RIRSS) developed by the United Way of Pinellas, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida. RIRSS is an attempt at coordinating infor- mation and referral programs in a four-county region of Florida. This has been achieved through the establishment of a core service, which is re- sponsible for coordinating, organizing, consulting, divising training programs, and providing oper- ational methodologies and data processing capa- bilities for four local information and referral sys- tems. The local systems, in turn, maintain direct contact with consumers and service providers in their areas and cooperate with the overall mission and activities of the core service. RIRSS has im- plemented the following components of a human services information system: the client intake and problem assessment process; information and re- ferral services; resource directory file; case man- agement and monitoring (in part); management re- porting; planning; and evaluation. The profile con- sists of: a perspective of the system; descriptions of operational components, data systems, the role of data output, special features of the system, co- ordination activities, transfer activities, system util- ity, and staffing and training characteristics; a his- tory of the planning and development of the system and an outline of future plans; a bibliogra- phy of available system documentation; and copies of system forms. The profile is accompa- nied by the following related documents: an over- view of the system; a description of the intake, fol- lowup, and data analysis methods; documentation of the resource file; the 1974 annual report on the system; and a description of the model on which the system is based.

A summary is then presented of information and referral resources in Pinellas County, and problems specific to that area are identified. A proposal is then presented for the development of an information and referral service system in Pinellas County (the Systemic Develop- ment of Elderly Services Project), which was the predecessor of the system described in the profile. An overview of the proposed system is presented, accompanied by flowcharts.

A method for creating and maintaining a resource file is documented in one of four reports on a sys- tems approach to information and referral devel- oped by the United Way of Pinellas County, Inc., funded through Project IN-STEP (Integrated Nutri- tion and Social Services to Elderly Persons). The document, which accompanies the profile of the Regional Information and Referral Support System for Pinellas and three other Florida counties (SHR- 0001023), describes a means for acquiring re- source file information, offers suggestions o?i com- puterization of the resource file, identifies desired printouts, and presents rationale for developing such a system. The Suncoast Services Identifica- tion System (SUNSIS) was developed to meet es- tablished criteria for an accurate resource file. The system consists of several components and is very adaptable. The basis of its construction came from four major sources: the United Way of America Services Identification System; the Indianapolis Services Identification System; SEARCH (an in- ventory of human services); and the resource system of the Wisconsin Information System. The SUNSIS tools for resource data acquisition are de- scribed and illustrated, and necessary functional 372 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT definitions are provided. Desired results of the SUNSIS system are described, as are methods of production. Instructions for keypunchers, desired cross-indexes and records resulting from SUNSIS, desired report format from the resource update form, resource file printouts, and desired data rea- dout from SUNSIS are provided.

A specialized information registry arid retrieval system used by the State of Texas to aid in the investigation of suspected cases of child abuse and neglect is described. Operated and main- tained by the State Department of Public Welfare (DPW), the Child Abuse and Neglect Report and Inquiry System (CANRIS) is one of four compo- nents of the Social Services Management System. CANRIS is a statewide automated network that provides linkage to all DPW protective service units for the purpose of report or retrieving infor- mation on incidents of child abuse or neglect. The department uses the reporting, inquiry, and statis- tics features of CANRIS in identifying, tracking, and evaluating child abuse and neglect in the State and in planning for preventive programs at the worker level and at the policy level. Special fea- tures of CANRIS include the commitment to the system by both system users and the highest levels of State government, as well as the immedi- ate accessibility to information provided by the on- line system. The profile of CANRIS includes: an overall description of the system; a description of operational components (client intake and prob- lem assessment, client confidentiality, manage- ment reporting, administrative services, planning and evaluation); and discussions of the data system and the role of data output, special fea- tures of the system, coordination and transfer ac- tivities, system utility, and staffing and training characteristics.

A client-oriented information and referral system operated by the United Way of Dade County, Miami, Florida is described. The system consists of two interconnected activities: (1) the provision of information and referral services to the residents of Dade County (operational); and (2) the creation of a central human services resources bank of services available in Dade and Monroe counties (in development). The objectives of the system are to provide referral coordination and to maintain a thorough inventory of the services available in the area. The system emcompasses client intake and problem assessment, eligibility requirements de- termination, information and referral, a resource di- rectory, and client followup. At the time of the report, the system essentially relied on manual procedures. However, conversions to computer- ized systems were planned for the resource direc- tory, eligibility determination, and case manage- ment and monitoring (client followup) components. The system serves an average of 2,600 clients per month, of whom approximately 80 percent are re- ferred to the food stamp program, Department of Social and Economic Services, or a local hospital. The system employs 14 full-time staff members, many of whom are bilingual. About 40 percent of the system's clients are over age 60. A dispropor- tionate number of persons who request help are ineligible for services because of age restrictions. Summary descriptions are presented of each of the system components, special features of the system (e.g., the planned placement of system staff and terminals at three Social Security Admin- istration offices), coordination activities with other agencies, transfer activities, system utility, and staffing and training characteristics. At the time of writing, the system was not used to generate re- ports for use in decisionmaking, planning, or evalu- ation, or to fill Federal, State, or local reporting re- quirements. The planning and development of the system are traced briefly, and future plans are noted.

A profile is presented of the New England Region- al Human Services Demonstration Project, staffed by the New England Municipal Center (NEMC). NEMC is a regional local government resource and program center created in November 1971 by the six New England State municipal leagues. The NEMC is governed by an 18-member board of di- rectors, including the six State municipal league executive directors, six local government officials, and six representatives of New England State gov- ernments. The center is organized internally with three institutional services: government informa- tion service, regional training and development service, and technical assistance service. Priority program areas include intergovernmental rela- tions, manpower and personnel, human resources, environmental affairs, transportation, criminal jus- tice, statistics, and municipal management. In its first 4 years, NEMC prepared more than 350 bulle- tins and reports and conducted more than 150 conferences and workshops. As part of a regional human services demonstration project supported by DHEW, the center assists selected New Eng- land local governments in identifying opportunities for municipal participation in human service plan- ning, implementation, evaluation, and budgeting. The 1 7 municipal governments participating in the project include five municipalities in Rockingham County, New Hampshire and two municipalities from each New England State. The background of the capacity-building demonstration project and NEMC participation in the project are described. The project's task organization and accomplish- ments are documented for the first 2 years of oper- ation and are projected for the third year. Future directions for NEMC activities are outlined, with a view toward the provision of training programs, direct technical assistance, and manuals to pre- pare municipalities to participate in the Title XX planning process. The project's operating budget for October 1974 through June 1975 is included, as is a list of project documentation. SHR-0001054 PC A03/MF A01 Applied Management Sciences, Inc., Silver Spring, Md.

The system employed by the Norfolk (Virginia) Ju- venile and Domestic Relations Court to record all information regarding a juvenile's contact with the courts from intake to adjudication is described. The objectives of the Norfolk Juvenile Information System (NJIS) are: (1) to improve capabilities for collecting, storing, and processing data on juve- niles who come into contact with the courts and to improve the retrieval of such information; (2) to compile data that can be used in management and administrative reporting; and (3) to coordinate the activities of the Norfolk agencies that deal with ju- veniles. Two features of the system, although inop- erative at the time of the report, are said to make NJIS unique among similar systems. The first is the correctional probability aid module, which com- putes the statistical probability of the success of a certain type of program for a juvenile with a certain profile by using a multiple regression matrix. The second feature is the counselor evaluation module, which compares system units for success in terms of recidivism rates. Other system compo- nents are the base / referral processing module, administrative control module, and truant module. NJIS is a fully computerized, on-line system in which client data is collected manually by intake officers and is entered into the system through on- line terminals located at the four facilities that par- ticipate in the system. The system profile includes descriptions of: the operational components of the system (e.g., client intake and problem assess- ment, eligibility determination, information and re- ferral, and so on); the data system and the role of data output; special features of the system; and coordination and transfer activities, system utility, and staffing and training characteristics. The plan- ning and development of the system are reviewed briefly, and future plans are outlined. A bibliogra- phy of available NJIS system documentation is provided, as is a copy of the client intake form used in the system.

The human service needs of older persons in the Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) Area Development District in Ken- tucky are studied with the objective of collecting data which will assist in documenting needs and determining priorities for the allocation of funds under Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965. The survey design phase included a literature review, the design and development of the survey instrument, and the development of a sampling framework and plans for conducting the survey. The survey implementation phase included the se- lection of the interviewers, public notification, the training of the interviewers, the survey, and field control. The final phase consisted of analysis and data preparation. The sample population was com- posed of 1,419 noninstitutionalized individuals aged 60 or older and living in the area. The needs assessment required six areas of study for KIPDA's planning process: housing; health and mental health; nutrition; finances; self sufficiency and social isolation; and transportation. Sixty- seven percent of the respondents report an annual household income of less than $4,500, 60 percent generally lacked a nutritious diet, one out of six was found to be in poor health, mental or emotion- al problems were identified in one out of five, three-quarters own their homes, most reported almost a complete reliance on personal or relative resources for transportation, and 7 percent could not perform personal care without help.

A data storage and retrieval system for social wel- fare, health, recreation, education, employment, and related services in Maricopa County, Arizona, is described. The Services and Agency Resources Information System (SARIS) is operated by the Community Council Serving Maricopa County, a United Way agency located in Phoenix, Arizona. The system consists of a computerized resource fie on microfiche, an annually printed human serv- ices directory, regular update services, sorting and analysis capabilities, training, consultation, and li- aison services, and other services. SARIS is fully computerized, but was not on-line at the time of the report. Plans were underway to install a termi- nal at the Community Council's information and re- ferral facility and to move the central computer op- eration from Minnesota to Phoenix. The system is said to be one of the least expensive methods for maintaining a data file on human services. Annual subscriptions for SARIS microfiche cards range from S348 for 1 subscription to $252 for 10 or more subscriptions. Microfiche readers can be pur- chased from the Community Council for $169. Charges for special inquiries based on data in the SARIS file vary with the computer time involved and possibilities for batching requests. The micro- fiche set-up of the resource directory is another special feature of the system, as is the ease and speed of updating that will be made possible by the planned relocation of central computer facili- ties and introduction of on-line terminals. The system profile includes an overall description of the system, a description of its operational compo- nents (information and referral, resource directory, planning and evaluation); and discussions of the data system and role of data output, special fea- tures of the system, coordination and transfer ac- tivities, system utility, and staffing and training characteristics.

The Social Service Delivery Management Informa- tion and Control System (MICS) is described. The MICS, which provides computer-based manage- ment support for the Maine Department of Human Services, has the following operational compo- nents: client intake and problem assessment; eligi- bility determination; information and referral; a re- source directory; service delivery; case manage- ment and monitoring; management reporting; and associated planning and evaluation. One of the special features of the system is the service inven- tory, which consists of defined, measurable units of service that can be committed for an individual client during treatment / service plan develop- ment. When the unit has been committed it is re- moved from the inventory of available services; units not used by the client are returned to the in- ventory and become available for other clients. A mobilization unit has been established to procure new service units and to develop units to replace those that have been exhausted in the system's inventory. Another special feature of the system is that it has an extremely high level of flexibility. It is noted that variations are permitted from regional office to regional office with respect to such system aspects as data elements, special coding structures, and management report content and frequency of production. Continuation of the MICS is assured, although there are conflicting reports about the utility of the data and reports generated by the MICS. The profile examines the following aspects of the system: operational components; the data system and the role of data output; the system's special features; coordination and trans- fer activities; system utility; staffing and training characteristics; and planning, development, and future plans of the system. System forms and a bibliography of available system documentation are included. SHR-0001074 PC A03/MF A01 Applied Management Sciences, Silver Spring, Md.

The Child Welfare Information System (CWIS), a batch processed, computerized management in- formation system designed to support case man- agement for children in foster care, is divided into two phases. One, the undercare module, main- tains computerized case files on New York City children being cared for by over 100 public and vol- untary agencies. The other phase, the in-process module, is (as of 1976) under development and will support the activities of Special Services for Chil- dren and the Family Court in the placement of chil- dren into institutional settings. A unique feature of the system is its client relations efforts. An in- house team has been established whose mem- bers maintain constant liaison with participating agencies and the City of New York. Some of the team's activities include user training programs, modification and redesigning of forms, identifica- tion of technical problems, auditing data validity, and user conferences. This profile of the system describes its operational components, the data system, the role of data output, the system's spe- cial features, coordination and transfer activities, and staffing and training characteristics. The plan- ning, development, and future plans of the system are discussed and its utility is examined. Exhibits provide a summary of board membership, a list of board members, a diagram illustrating the under- care module, a CWIS issue paper, and an organi- zational chart.

The information system of the Oklahoma Depart- ment of Institutions, Social and Rehabilitative Services (DISRS), an umbrella agency created to administer Federal and State public assistance funds for dependent children and the aged, blind, and disabled, is described. The information system is designed to relieve the social work, rehabilita- tion, and institutional staffs of paper work, routine recording, and reporting by establishing one base of data for operations of the department at both the State and local level. The history of the system is documented, and the conceptual framework within which its developers planned to implement the management information system and create the data base is graphically represented. The DISRS maintains several components, all fully operational, which are briefly outlined and dis- cussed. These components include: client intake and problem assessment process; eligibility re- quirements determination; information and refer- ral; resource directory; service delivery; case man- agement and monitoring; management reporting; internal access, validation, and utilization of client 376 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT data; administrative service programs; and plan- ning and evaluation. A description of the data system is provided and the role of data output is discussed. The special or unique features of the system are identified. These include quality control procedures and the system's flexibility in meeting changing department and reporting demands. Co- ordination activities and transfer activities are dis- cussed and a descriptive list of completed trans- fers is provided. The system is said to have dem- onstrated its utility. Caseworkers have found their work loads stabilized, it is easier to locate client files, and the transfers that have been completed have been effective. Staffing and training charac- teristics are described. It is noted that all staff members assigned to the DISRS Management In- formation Unit have the ability to use the system. No staff position descriptions were available at the tme of the site visit. The planning and development of the system is described, and the development of certain of its seven subsystems is detailed. No problems in continuing or expanding the system or in obtaining Federal or State funding are anticipat- ed. A bibliography of available system documenta- tion is.

A profile of the social service Delivery Manage- ment Information and Control System of the Utah Department of Social Services' Division of Family Services is presented. The division operates the following components of a human services infor- mation system: client intake and problem assess- ment; eligibility requirements determination; infor- mation and referral services; a resource directory; service delivery; case management and monitor- ing; management reporting; administrative service programs; planning; and evaluation. These compo- nents are briefly described and a diagram illus- trates the flow of services and activities within the system. The system has two features which are considered unique: (1) a highly trained and highly educated top administrative staff; and (2) a 'serv- ice inventory,' which is a means for keeping track of available services. The feasibility for the con- tinuance of the system appears to be excellent.

A profile of the Management and Social Services Information System (MSSIS) of the Wyoming De- partment of Health and Social Services, Division of Public Assistance and Social Services (D-PASS) is presented. MSSIS, which is county administered and State supervised, is intended to provide case management and reporting assistance. The county staff has the responsibility for the delivery of services to clients, the provision of data to MSSIS, and the evaluation of reports generated by the system. The procedures followed by the work- ers are briefly described and graphically portrayed. Sample forms are included. The State D-PASS staff supervises and monitors the operation of MSSIS at the county level, collects and processes information derived at the county level, prepares management information reports for use at the county level, and develops and implements policy plans. The major activities performed by the staff - client questionnaires processing, data collection and processing, and report preparation - are out- lined, and a copy of a client satisfaction question- naire is supplied. The system has four characteris- tics which its staff members consider unique: it is very simple; it is capable of manual operation; it gathers meaningful, useful information for planning and evaluation; and it depends on a small number of clear-cut, understandable definitions. In addition to describing the operational components and special features of the MSSIS, the profile supplies information on the hardware and software used and the role of data output, coordination and trans- fer activities, system utility, staffing and training characteristics, and the planning, development, and future plans of the system. At the time the pro- file was written, uncertainty over the availability of additional Federal funding needed to modify MSSIS to comply with Title XX had made future planning impossible; the staff of MSSIS had decid- ed to cease production of all management reports until the system could be modified. As a result, the system had been essentially shut down. It is noted that the procedures presented in the report may be revised. Also included is a bibliography of available system documentation.

The final report and recommendations of the Alle- gheny County Human Service Commission's as- sessment of the county's role in the delivery of health and social services is presented. Improve- ments in the area of human services are suggest- ed from the point of view of the deliverer (the county government) and the consumer or client, the receiver of services. A new organization of rel- evant human services is recommended, with cen- tral accountability for program and finance in an office directly responsible to the county commis- sioners. This office will carry out delegated central executive functions. A district service system in 12 subareas will be developed in tandem with the central office, reducing duplication, overlap, confu- sion, and inefficient use of resources. The total in- tegration of all services at the district community level is also proposed. The benefits of the pro- posed decentralization for the client are: greater accessibility of services, a range of county serv- ices in one location, one application form, and a case manager to facilitate use of the system. Benefits for the county government include: provi- sion of uniform and systematic data, equipable al- location of resources, a joint departmental plan- ning council, and a centralized headquarters func- tion. The goals and objectives for human services in Allegheny County are delineated, and ways in which the proposed reorganization can meet these needs are discussed.

Information on types of day care, potential spon- sors for day care programs, implementation and evaluation techniques, costs, and need assess- ment methods is presented in a report on day care in northeastern Illinois. The report opens with defi- nitions of day care services and a discussion of the organization and distribution of day care in north- eastern Illinois. Community involvement in day care is considered, and procedures for starting a day care center are outlined. Standards and guide- lines for evaluating the quality of day care services, Federal and State standards and licensing require- ments for day care service, and suggestions for parents selecting a day care center or home are presented. The traditional method of assessing need for day care, which is based on the numbers of working mothers and female household heads with children under age 6, is found to be inad- equate. An alternative method for estimating day care needs in large cities, municipalities, or town- ships is presented using a sample study. Tables and graphs illustrate the procedure. It is concluded that day care in northeastern Illinois would be im- proved by identification of need by income levels to be served, assessment of available levels of funding and efforts to obtain increased funding, planned distribution of funds according to need, and interagency coordination at all levels.

The organization and functioning of Youth Service Bureau (YSBs) in Santa Clara County, California are examined in order to gain insights for the plan- ning of multiservice centers (MSCs). Field visits were made to three YSBs, and all YSB staff mem- bers were interviewed. The goal of each Youth Services Bureau is to reduce the incidence of de- linquency in the area it serves and, in each YSB, programs are selected to meet the community's needs. Services emphasize short-term, practical, behavior-oriented guidance rather than long-term therapy, and clients receive services on a volun- tary basis. The upper age limit for YSB clients is 17. Among the services offered by YSBs are: counseling of delinquent or predelinquent youths, crisis intervention, and activity groups and field trips. The staff is multidisciplinary and includes vol- unteers from various contributing agencies. YSB law enforcement personnel usually make initial contact with referrals; the system has no written policy governing assignment of cases. The largest number of contacts falls into the category of one- time only. Advisory Boards are composed of a core group of interested citizens that serve as a liaison between the YSB and the community. Specific in- formation is provided on the decisionmaking struc- ture of the three YSBs studied. The similarities and differences between YSBs and MSCs are dis- cussed. Appendices contain a list of YSB pro- grams, staff job descriptions, and flow charts. SHR-0001135 PCA05/MFA01 Regional Inst, of Social Welfare Research, Inc., Athens, Ga.

Alternatives to the institutionalization of children are explored. Sources of pressure on States in the movement toward the deinstitutionalization of chil- dren's services are examined. These pressures derive from the assumed negative effects of institutionalization on children, social reform ac- tions and movements, legislation, and citizen groups. Four deinstitutionalization alternatives are detailed: (1) reduce the average length of stay in institutions; (2) minimize referrals for admissions, either gradually or totally, and close institutions by attrition; (3) develop a phaseout plan that com- bines a more rapid release of children with a pro- gressive decline in referrals for admission; and (4) move toward a highly differentiated system in which some institutions are maintained for treating a small percentage of extremely difficult or seri- ously deviant children, while eliminating others in- capable of servicing such a population. The effects of institutionalization on children are assessed. Service alternatives to institutionalization are iden- tified as foster family care, group home care, com- munity-based services, and strengthening family life. Possible consequences of deinstitutionalization are discussed, and issues to consider in the development of a deinstitutionalization plan are cited. A bibliography is provided.

One year later, a 12-page questionnaire was submitted to each institution to determine how the cost and time data were being used. Additional evaluative input was obtained from contacts with agency administrators, staff, boards, and commu- nity groups. An overview of evaluation findings in- dicates that virtually all participating agencies found the cost and time reports and the associated data gathering and analysis process helpful. Most agency administrators shared the cost and time report with their professional staff and with their boards. The objectivity of the reports and the cen- tralization of comparative (interinstitutional) data were cited by respondents as particular strong points. Administrators Administrators who made less extensive use of the data included those whose agencies were already operating with above - average efficiency, as well as those whose administrative skills were still developing and who were, perhaps, not ready to assimilate the kind of management tool provided by the reports.

A study to define the public transit needs of the handicapped in northeastern Illinois is reported. Three sources of information were used in the study: census data, a mailed survey to obtain basic information about physical conditions and mobility limitations, and a home interview with a sample drawn from those receiving the mailed question- naire. The survey instrument was designed to elicit information in six areas: existing travel patterns, health conditions, mobility or ability to get around, latent demand, demographic questions, and atti- tudes. The findings indicate that all people classi- fied as mobility limited by conventional schemes were, regardless of label, mobile. A total of 63 per- cent used some form of public transportation and 19 percent actually drove themselves. Over 90 percent depended on others for transportation at least occasionally. In general, the more disabled a person was, the more that person was travel de- pendent on others. Three major factors with which the physically handicapped have difficulty were identified: vehicle environment, walking, and climb- ing. It was found that approximately 38 percent of those classed as handicapped have a significant mobility limitation. Mobility limitation varies by geo- graphic location: 46 percent of the handicapped in urban areas are mobility limited, while 30 percent in high density suburban and 35 percent in low density suburban areas are mobility handicapped. A procedure for estimating travel demand for the handicapped was developed. Supporting data are provided in tabular form. SHR-0001 164 PC A12/MF A01 Council of Community Services, Nashville, Tenn.

The Nashville Area United Way and the Tennes- see Department of Human Services requested the Council of Community Services Priorities Steering Committee to update the Council's 1973 study of priorities to allocate money to 32 services. The committee first revised the 1973 questionnaire. Under title XX of the Social Security Act, the State Government received authority to set up Citizens Advisory Councils to advise on the allocation of $47 million in Federal funds allotted in fiscal year 1976 - 1977, and goals to be met were defined by the United Way of America Services Identification System. The Committee selected 43 human serv- ices and ranked them according to two separate categories: relative importance of services, and need for development. These rankings were then combined to represent the priorities listing. A Cross - Impact Matrix was furnished with 5 goals: economic self-support, self-sufficiency, child pro- tection and family preservation, preventing inap- propriate institutionalization, and securing institu- tional care when appropriate. Tables compare the 1973 priorities, the 1976 priorities, and the cross - impact matrix. Day Care for Children came out in the top-ranked category for all three rankings. It was noted that the Committee tended to rank non- institutional programs somewhat higher in priority than their institutional counterparts. This is shown clearly in the psychiatric services rankings. Sug- gested criteria for services ranking, methodology, and instruction sheets for a citizens committee are included in the appendix. 378 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SHR-0001165 PCA04/MFA01 Department of Health, Education, Welfare, Phila- delphia, Pa.

The proceedings of the 1973 Public Health Insti- tute held at the University of California at Berkeley are documented. The institute was attended by social workers from maternal and child health pro- grams in the western United States. The partici- pants represented such program concerns as ma- ternity and infant care, children and youth projects, university-affiliated training centers for mental re- tardation, State-level crippled children programs, family planning services, and acute care hospitals. Although the participants were primarily con- cerned with health services to mothers and chil- dren, their specific job responsibilities, program goals, and target populations were sufficiently di- vergent to represent a broad perspective of evalu- ation issues and methods relevant to social work services in community health and medical care programs. With the exceptions of summaries of working sessions on patient care audits and man- agement of objectives, the papers are reproduced essentially as they were presented to institute par- ticipants. The proceedings are grouped in five sec- tions: (1) evaluation research (including papers on personal curiosity and professional compliance, a conceptual framework for evaluation of social service programs, and evaluative research in social work); (2) perspectives from the field (fac- tors contributing to the decision to evaluate, and a social work administrator's perspective on the as- sessment of social services in a large health care organization); (3) evaluation of quality (use of the problem-oriented record in a community health program, facilitating communication in social work through the problem-oriented record system, and medical audit and medical social services); (4) pro- gram planning for evaluation (use of management by objectives in planning for programs and evalua- tion); and (5) evaluation of the costs and effects of reimbursement (social services coverage in health settings). The methods of evaluation described have one common theme: the use of explicit standards to compare what was intended with what actually occurred.

The goal of the Training for the Integration of Serv- ices (TIOS) project was to enable participants to improve the processes by which they plan, manage, and implement integrated services pro- grams and organizations. Toward this end, five ob- jectives were set: identify and describe the uni- verse of multiservice or interagency arrangements for the specific delivery of health and social serv- ices in the Bay Area of San Francisco, California; assess the factors facilitating or inhibiting the proc- esses of planning policy and managing and pro- gramming integrated services; develop and test sets of guidelines and other materials for improv- ing such processes with appropriate personnel at the levels of policy, management, and program; conduct a series of short-term training programs for a total of up to 1 8 sets of organizations who are ready to engage in method and process training; and share the results of these experiences with other related, interested groups. The TIOS project conducted a series of seminars and workshops on services integration during which the participants learned concepts and practiced skills to help in team building, conflict resolution, decisionmaking, interpersonal communication, and managing change. Findings and conclusions are presented as working hypotheses for the integration of serv- ices in terms of the individual, the task, the work group, the organization, and the macrosystem.

This report contains information to be considered by States as they gather the data necessary for planning child development programs and an in- depth examination of the models used in three States. The handbook is intended for use by per- sons concerned with developing a data base from which to make decisions and with analyzing the statewide need for new and additional services to young children and their families. The document is in two parts. The first, which was originally pub- lished in 1973, discusses the initiation of a needs structure. It addresses the reasons for a needs as- sessment, designation of the agency for planning responsibility, the steps in the assessment proc- ess, the data - gathering model, and the public re- lations effort. The assessment of the needs of the 5-year-old-and-under age group is emphasized, al- though the report can be used to gather informa- tion about older children. An update of the original report includes descriptions of needs assessment efforts in Idaho, North Carolina, and Texas. Much of the appended material relates to these models.

Social service resources for offenders in the Hart- ford region of Connecticut are described in relation to specific areas of service, community and agency attitudes toward offenders and correc- tions, and the role of public and private sectors in the provision of correctional services. Services provided to offenders are categorized according to employment, education, financial assistance, housing, social services, health and mental health, legal assistance, and community-based correc- tions. Each of the functional service areas is intro- duced by a schematic chart showing the services and linkages to corrections. Issues and gaps in specific service areas are identified, coordinative factors are suggested, and recommendations are listed following each area of service. Suggestions are offered for improving the attitudes of communi- ty residents and agencies toward offenders. The role of public and private sectors in the correction system is explored. It is felt that the private sector is most capable of providing high quality integrated services through purchase of service contracts. The private sector can also provide an advocacy function with regard to both clients and issues and serve as a vehicle for opening up the public deci- sionmaking process. The Connecticut State De- partment of Corrections, as the major representa- tive of the public sector, must maintain primary re- sponsibility for funding the corrections sytem.

The relationship between vocational education and the urban labor market in Massachusetts is analyzed, and strategies for improving the relation- ship are suggested. The analysis shows that, de- spite major public investments in skills training in Massachusetts, many students lack marketable job skills, and industry incurs significant training costs as a result. A fairly high level of mutual suspi- cion exists between businessmen and educators, and most businesses are unwilling to become in- volved on a large scale with the school system as a whole or with its vocational education program. In addition, State officials have not promoted the idea that business has an important stake in the educational system. Ways in which vocational edu- cation can be related more effectively to the needs of the labor market include the development of oc- cupational forecasting, improvement of relations with business, and increased cooperation among the providers of vocational education. The estab- lishment of a system of occupational forecasting to identify major shortage and surplus occupations for each labor market area in the State is recom- mended. To develop support within the business community, it is recommended that top - level busi- ness leaders be recruited to act as catalysts for organizing business support at the local level, and that a strategy for establishing local business - education groups be developed. Methods are also suggested for improving coordination within the Massachusetts vocational education system. SHR-0001257 PC A02/MF A01 Missouri Law Enforcement Assistance Council, Jefferson City.

Keywords: 'Social services, 'Evaluation, Services, Operations, Methodology, Impact, Clients, Agen- cies, 'Texas. The approach adopted by the Texas Department of Welfare to improve and expand social services is described. In evaluating services provided di- rectly to clients by the department, primary empha- sis is placed on steps that the department must take to establish a viable evaluation system, to apply a common evaluation system to both depart- ment - provided and department - purchased serv- ices, and to use scientific management techniques in developing an improved evaluation system. The development of the conceptual base and the oper- ation of the system devised to evaluate the effec- tiveness and efficiency of social services are de- tailed. Steps required to develop and implement an evaluation system are prescribed. It is stated that a social service evaluation is comprised of data col- lection and monitoring and decisionmaking com- ponents. Evaluation is defined as the process of examining, analyzing, and appraising the extent to which defined organizational purposes are achieved. Periodic and comprehensive modes of evaluation are examined. Problems, issues, risks, and benefits of evaluation are detailed. A distinc- tion is made between evaluation for effectiveness and evaluation for efficiency. Steps in the process of evaluation for both effectiveness and evaluation are enumerated.

The Central Intake and Systematic Referral Ap- proach (CISRA) System of the Mon Valley (Penn- sylvania) Health and Welfare Council is described. The objectives of CISRA are: to reduce duplication with regard to intake and registration procedures among agencies involved in delivery of human services; to develop a system of client tracking and referral; to establish a human services profile of each CISRA client; to collect and analyze statisti- cal information; and to identify gaps in service de- livery. The operational components of CISRA in- clude: client intake and problem assessment, eligi- bility determination, information and referral, re- source directory, service delivery, case manage- ment and monitoring, validation of client data, management reporting, administrative services, system planning, and evaluation. The data man- agement system developed by the Mon Valley Health and Welfare Council collects, processes, analyzes, and reports information on clients and the services rendered to them. Data collection is performed manually by clinic and facility staffs on a day-to-day basis; all other operations are comput- erized.

The Brockton Multi-Service Center (BMSC) system is a community human service delivery system that includes client intake / problem as- sessment processes, information and referral services, resource directory maintenance, direct and indirect service delivery, case management / monitoring, management reporting, administrative services, planning, and evaluation components. The geographic area served by the BMSC consists of 11 communities with a total population of 215,000; two remote community facilities serve the population in addition to the central multiservice center. The conceptual model of the Brockton system is based on the following elements: com- munity, governance, specifications, system man- ager, operating system, and audit. The model por- trays a cyclical process in which the multiservice center is one element in the overall community effort to meet human needs.

A training program for client monitors of the Brock- ton (Massachusetts) Multi-Service Center (BMSC) is defined and developed. The BMSC uses the mechanism of a single individual assuming respon- sibility for the successful transit of a client through the service system. This client monitor is support- ed by a well-defined client pathway which facili- tates integrated management of individual serv- ices. Client monitor responsibilities include: oper- ation of such functions as triage, emergency deter- mination, case assignment, assessment, and serv- ice planning; management of individual client prog- ress through the pathway; and use of the data unit to perform the identified functions. The client moni- tor training program is structured into eight les- sons; a lesson is defined in terms of capabilities the trainee must have at the conclusion of each lesson. The eight lessons, which are structured toward a logical buildup of capabilities, are pre- sented using three elements: objectives, lesson plans, and lesson evaluation. Once a client moni- tor candidate has successfully completed the training program, he is certified as a system man- ager. Three kinds of teaching techniques are sug- gested: lessons, workshops, and action training.

The development of the Brockton (Massachu- setts) Multi-Service Health Center (BMSHC) and the context within which its operates are dis- cussed. It was concluded that, in Brockton, the conventional approach to service delivery was lim- ited, service availability was insufficient, and actual service delivery was inadequate. A model respon- sive to the needs of the community was developed containing the following elements: community, governance, performance specification; a system manager, an operating system, and audit. This model evolved into a multi-service health center with two major elements: a client component and a management component. The community served by the BMSHC is an 11 -town, sparsely-population area outside of the urban core. Three types of services are envisioned: services at five communi- ty program sites throughout the 11 towns, core services at other locations including the Multi- Service Center, and other services provided by outside agencies. The development program de- signing and implementing the operating system will be complete in 1 978. This system looks to the con- text necessary to hold the operating system ac- countable for delivery effects to community mem- bers.

A demonstration project designed to develop and operate a system of in-home and community serv- ices for functionally disabled persons (elderly per- sons, disabled adults, and blind persons) is de- scribed. The Wisconsin Community Care Organi- zation is a comprehensive, coordinated system that provides an alternative to premature or inap- propriate institutionalization in nursing homes. The project was developed in response to concerns expressed primarily by elderly people who felt that too few services were available to them in their own homes. Unique to the project is its use of Medicaid funds for extended payment of nonmedi- cal as well as medical services in the home. This use of Medicaid funds was achieved through a waiver on the State's medical assistance plan. The project's first pilot operation in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, is a private nonprofit corporation gov- erned by a board of representatives from public and private provider agencies, local governmental bodies, and consumer groups. An administrative structure has been developed whereby elderly and disabled persons eligible for community care are identified. Services are purchased and coordinat- ed by the local community care organization. Em- phasis is on providing assistance with the tasks of daily living: housekeeping; shopping; meal prepa- ration or delivery; personal grooming and hygiene; transportation; protective services; and household maintenance. In addition, the community care or- ganization arranges for professional medical serv- ices required by clients.

Ways in which a rural community action program can encourage the participation of the elderly in efforts to eliminate poverty are addressed. Rural residents are defined as those living in towns or communities with a population of 2,500 or less or in open country. The Office of Economic Opportu- nity considers a community action agency area to be rural if more than 50 percent of the total popula- tion is rural, or if less than 50 percent of the popu- lation is rural but the area includes no incorporated place with a population of more than 10,000. Prob- lems faced by the elderly include deteriorating and dilapidated housing, chronic disease, physical dis- ability and untreated health problems, inadequate diet, unemployment, and loneliness and isolation. It is felt that any coordinated efforts directed at rural poverty must consider the problems of the older poor and involve the skills and experience of the elderly in program operation. The organization of a community action program is detailed. Particu- lar attention is given to program sponsorship and the advisory committee and to the site for program headquarters. Essential components of a commu- nity action program are a survey of the older poor, information and referral, and involvement of the el- derly in antipoverty programs. Antipoverty pro- grams include day care, Head Start, food pro- grams, family living surplus centers, consumer education, adult basic education, and job training and employment. Specialized components of a community action program are concerned with transportation, housing, health, and senior cen- ters.

The senior center is discussed as a base from which various services can be delivered to the el- derly poor. It is pointed out that a senior center can provide social, recreational, educational, counsel- ing, health, nutrition, employment, and voluntary community service components. It can be a focus for coordinating and creating community re- sources for the elderly poor and can serve as an agent for change. The most common goals of community action agencies which sponsor senior centers are to promote and facilitate the involve- ment of neighborhood residents in the resolution of neighborhood or area problems and improve the quality of programs designed to aid in the elimina- tion of poverty.

The establishment of adult day-care programs is discussed in a technical assistance monograph. Adult day care is defined as a program of care during the day for impaired adults in a group setting away from home. Historical developments in psy- chiatric day hospitals are reviewed, and a distinc- tion is made between day-care centers and day hospitals. Basic services involved in the provision of adult day care include a protective environment, one meal, social activities, a rest period, emergen- cy medical arrangements, and liaison with the home situation. Additional service components of adult day care are personal care services, family counseling, legal services, health education, a pro- gram of planned functional restitution, skilled nurs- ing services, physical therapy, and the treatment resources of a hospital that include diagnostic and medical consultation. Target populations of adult day care are confused older persons, persons with difficult behavior, institutionalized older persons, and families of older persons. The activities and services involved in an adult day-care program are described. Consideration is given to the following additional aspects of adult clay care: transporta- tion, center size and hours, physical standards, comfort, safety, space, staffing, records, evalua- tion, and planning. A list of suggested readings is provided. Information on the financing of adult day care, operational day-care centers, and community services for the aged is included.

The methodology and findings of an assessment of service needs and resources for abused and ne- glected children and their families in six Texas counties are reported. The Child Abuse and Ne- glect Resources Demonstration (CANRED) Proj- ect, administered by the Texas Department of Public Welfare (DPW), was exploratory in nature; no hypotheses were tested. Five data sources were explored for information on service needs 382 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT and resource gaps: DPW protective services case records; DPW local and regional staff members; staff of other human service agencies; members of Parents Anonymous and protective services cli- ents; and leaders of voluntary community organi- zations. The counties selected for the study repre- sented six combinations of population size, level of resource availability, and poverty levels found to encompass all Texas counties. Significant vari- ation was found from county to county in regard to both service needs and available resources. This observation is said to substantiate the need for de- veloping alternative approaches to identifying service needs and developing resources. Perspec- tives regarding needs and resources varied among the different groups of respondents, reflecting the context of each respondent's experience with child abuse and neglect. Implications of the findings are discussed. Study methodology and findings are re- ported in detail. Copies of survey instruments, tab- ular data, and a bibliography are included.

A social services delivery information system is de- scribed for a Supervisor's Conference of the Divi- sion of Youth and Family Services of New Jersey. This management information system (MIS) has a two-fold purpose: program management and case management. The program management compo- nent provides information to top and middle man- agement to be used for program and budget plan- ning, effective and efficient management, and for statistical reporting. The case management com- ponent provides information and techniques to line workers and supervisors to be used for effective and efficient management of caseloads. The sub- systems of the MIS and their applicability are iden- tified. Steps completed and those to be undertak- en in the development of the management infor- mation system are outlined, and criticisms are pro- vided of the first draft of the MIS.

The major first - year activities of a pilot project un- dertaken to design and implement a computerized management information system at a New York State developmental center for the mentally re- tarded are described. The report contains sections on project goals; the quality of current medical rec- ords at the project site (Willowbrook Developmen- tal Center, Staten Island, NY); development and implementation of subsystems and the resultant organizational response at Willowbrook; complete- ness and reliability of the admission / census sub- system; and Willowbrook staff attitudes toward training and involvement with the project. Primary goals of the project are the improvement of habili- tative care and the improvement of facility man- agement. The analysis of recordkeeping at Willow- brook revealed a lack of systematic organizational structure, a lack of problem orientation, and an overall incompleteness of medical records. The development and implementation of 4 of the 1 1 project subsystems - the clinical system, drug system, census system, and personnel system - received primary emphasis during the first year of the project. An evaluation of data elements from the admission / census system, which was oper- ational throughout the facility by the end of the first project year, revealed certain discrepancies among data sources.

An overview and a description of 6 of 1 1 projected subsystems are presented of a pilot project under- way at Willowbrook Developmental Center, Staten Island, N.Y., to design and implement an automat- ed client-based management information system. Once the system has been developed and imple- mented at Willowbrook, it is to be disseminated throughout the developmental centers for the re- tarded of New York State. The system uses com- puter support to transform data from physical ex- aminations, behavioral assessments, and other sources into information needed by clinicians and administrators to plan, finance, provide, monitor, and evaluate services. The admission / census subsystem gathers demographic information on clients and traces clients' movement within the in- stitution and into the community. The clinical sub- system integrates observations and recording of client behaviors, sets behavioral objectives, keys strategies to objectives, sets dates for goal attain- ment and interim assessment, and identifies clini- cians responsible for implementing habilitation programs. The drug subsystem provides the capa- bility for monitoring medication received by clients, while an automated physical examination / diag- nosis subsystem assists physicians in recording their findings and in setting goals for the diminution of physical symptoms. A personnel subsystem pro- vides management with staffing patterns and pro- files. An automated inventory control system rec- ords the movement of all supplies within the facili- ty.

The goals of the study involved evaluation of whether outreach was needed or used in the initial filling of sites; whether outreach was used for replacement purposes; and whether outreach was used on a continuing basis to reach the needy. Interviews were conducted with 858 randomly selected participants at 30 nu- trition program sites and with 1,258 randomly se- lected persons living in the areas served by the sites. The major finding of the study was that sites tend to be one of two types: (1) 'open,' in which participants come once or twice a week and nutri- tion is a primary goal; and (2) 'needy,' in which par- ticipants eat four to five times a week and nutrition is considered relatively less important than social- ization. Outreach at 'open' sites is mostly carried out by word of mouth, while outreach at 'needy' sites is heavily promoted by personal contact. Par- ticipants at the sites were found to be better off than nonparticipants in terms of both nutrition and mental health. Recommendations concerning overall project direction, areas of interest to project personnel at the local level, and a longitudinal evaluation are discussed.

The legislative and regulatory history of DHEW's Developmental Disabilities Program is examined. The report is intended to be used by consumers and the general public, State governors, State agencies, developmental disabilities councils, re- gional offices, university-affiliated facilities, and the National Advisory Council on Services and Facili- ties for the Developmentally Disabled. The report's emphasis is on the effect developmental disabil- ities legislation will have on State policies and pro- cedures. The Developmentally Disabled Assist- ance and Bill of Rights Act (P.L. 94-103), which became law in October 1975 and amended P.L. 88-164, makes available a range of strategies to meet the problems of developmentally disabled persons in terms of strengthening services and in safeguarding rights. The act authorizes appropri- ations for formula grants to States, grants for spe- cial projects, and grants for university-affiliated facilities. Formula grants are authorized to States for planning, administration, services, and the con- struction of facilities for developmentally disabled persons. The formula grant program operates through two primary mechanisms (a State planning council and designated State agencies). The act requires that DHEW reserve at least 25 percent of the amount appropriated for the special projects grant program to support projects of national sig- nificance. The legislative history of the Develop- mental Disabilities Program is reviewed. The role of States in the program is detailed. Recommenda- tions concerning the effective implementation of P.L. 94-103 are made. SHR-0001475 PC A13/MF A01 San Diego Dept. of Human Resources, Calif. Re- search and Evaluation Section.

An overview of the status of the urban elderly in relation to such basic priorities as crime, economic security, health, and housing is presented in a loo- seleaf handbook. It is designed to be useful to mayors, their staffs, and other local officials in ex- amining their own role and resources available to municipal governments in serving older constitu- ents. Data were collected by the task force on 20 categorical services in 56 cities. Personal inter- views were conducted with mayors and key city of- ficials, resulting in identification of the priority areas confronting the elderly and the ways in which city governments could respond. The six general prior- ity areas which arose during this research - crime, economic security (including employment), health, housing, senior centers including information - re- ferral services, and transportation - are each dis- cussed separately. The chapters include summar- ies of successful and innovative programs operat- ing across the country. Other chapters in the hand- book examine the role of the mayor, touching on such areas as catalyzing resources, involving senior citizens, brokering Federal funds, providing direct services, allocating resources, and creating a climate for change, with specific references to the experiences of various cities.

Dec 73, 41 p Keywords: 'State government, 'Social services, 'Organization theory, Services, Service related or- ganizations, Reorganization, Planning, Organizing, Organizations, Management systems, Input, Gov- ernment, Delivery, Coordination, Communicating, Capacity, Capabilities. Problems confronting State departments of human resources - the umbrella agencies that encom- pass the administration of social, health, and reha- bilitative services - are discussed, and alternative administrative structures for these agencies are suggested. It is noted that much of the confusion surrounding service integration efforts is basically attributable to three factors: failure to separate the coordinative function from the administrative func- tion; failure to classify coordinating linking mecha- nisms according to the level of organizational par- ticipation at which they are implemented; and fail- ure to see problems of coordination and access to service from the client's perspective. State depart- ments of human resources need to address five questions: whether administrative or coordinative responsibility is the overriding priority of the head of the department; at what level of organizational participation coordinating activity will be planned and conducted; whether the department will classi- fy all clients into a high-risk category; whether there will be a conscious effort to encourage bottom-up rather than top-down planning; and what proportion of the budget will be allocated to core, rather than support, services. How the an- swers to these questions affect the four levels of organizational participation - the State headquar- ters level, the substate regional planning level, the first-line worker level, and the client level - is ana- lyzed. Alternative service delivery system models are described for each level of organizational par- ticipation. A comparative cost-effectiveness evalu- ation of the models is urged.

The organizational structure for a proposed human service agency (HSA) in Racine County, Wisconsin is addressed. Proposed organizational units are outlined and sample position descriptions are pro- vided for key HSA staff members and their respon- sibilities. Lines of authority and staff interrelations are proposed, based on three criteria: (1) staff per- forming similar specialized functions are grouped administratively and supervised by a person knowl- edgeable in those functions; (2) persons or super- visors responsible for assuring the quality of spe- cialized services are given line authority over serv- ice providers; and (3) due to the fact that program content expertise is differentiated from process ex- pertise, separate individuals can sometimes best be responsible for insuring that process and con- tent occur. Major goals of the HSA are identified as follows: increase the accessibility of human serv- ices, provide outreach as both a function and an administrative unit of the HSA, incorporate the concept of governance in the HSA, develop a fiscal / accounting system, and establish a coordi- nating council for communitywide needs and re- source assessment and subsequent planning by all human service providers. Major activities to be given primary emphasis by HSA staff during the im- plementation are examined. 384 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SHR-0001507 PC A07/MF A01 Center for Public Management, Potomac, Md.

A project undertaken in Richmond, Va., to assess and compare the city's human service needs and resources and to make recommendations for im- proving human service delivery is documented. Prior studies of needs and of specific aspects of the Richmond delivery system were reviewed. Sur- veys, estimates of need, and population forecasts were examined. Interviews were conducted with representatives of 60 of Richmond's 640 operating agencies. Characteristics of the demand for and supply of services were analyzed and compared. Applicable coordination/authority models used in Richmond and elsewhere were reviewed, as were the experiences of national projects involving the integration of services. The city's existing delivery system - its organization, direction, and linkages - were assessed relative to the roles and powers of city government. Alternative coordination mecha- nisms were considered, and recommendations for improving the delivery system were developed. The study report is in seven parts: background and conduct of the project; underlying policy issues; estimating the demand for human services; meas- uring the supply of services; comparing service demand and supply; achieving sequenced and co- ordinated service delivery; and improving the deliv- ery system. Creation of a citywide chief executive review and comment system operated through a human resources advisory group is recommended for the city.

The analysis was promoted by a Cham- ber of Commerce proposal to create a new posi- tion of human services commissioner with supervi- sory authority over county departments of health, mental health, and social services. The new posi- tion would represent an additional hierarchy be- tween the county executive and departmental heads. Other options considered by the committee are discontinuing the existing county health de- partment, integrating or consolidating the county departments of health and social services, and continuing separate departments of health and social services. Problems that stimulated interest in reorganizing the two departments are analyzed, and the effects of each option on the problems are considered. The options are then examined in terms of their costs to the taxpayer, their effects on service recipients and on county operations, and their long-range implications. It is recommended that the separate departments be continued. Strat- egies for dealing with administrative problems within the existing structure are recommended.

The relationship between developmental disabil- ities (DD) councils and State agencies providing services to developmentally disabled citizens is addressed. The Developmental Disabilities Serv- ices and Facilities Construction Act was enacted to provide States with the responsibility for plan- ning and implementing a comprehensive program of services for the developmentally disabled popu- lation. The act authorized the provision of formula grant funds to encourage the development of facil- ities and services not adequately provided within public and private agencies. The major responsibil- ity of a State DD council is to prepare an annual comprehensive plan for meeting the needs of its developmentally disabled citizens. The annual cycle of State plan development is detailed in rela- tion to planning, influencing, and evaluating. The estimate is made, based on 1974 data, that more than 50 distinct services are provided to develop- mentally disabled citizens by various public and private agencies within a State. DD councils are viewed as an important contributor in conceptualiz- ing what is needed to improve the quantity, quality, and effectiveness of services provided by State agencies. Service objectives can be met by incor- porating them into appropriate agency budgets. Possibilities for effective relationships between DD councils and State agencies include legislation, service standards development, client data banks, and applied research. It is pointed out that relation- ships between DD councils and State agencies are complicated by the fact that many councils are ad- ministered by a State agency, all DD formula grant funds must be administered by a State agency, and at least one-third of every council's member- ship consists of State agency representatives monitored by the council.

The proceedings of a public seminar on improving coordination of human services in Toronto, Ontar- io, Canada, are documented. In the keynote ad- dress, Toronto's existing human services system is described as chaotic, and the need to shift respon- sibility for coordinating, planning, and delivering services from the provincial to the local level is noted. A presentation on the Federal and provin- cial roles in human services points out the dispari- ties in the fiscal capacities of Canadian provinces to finance adequate human service programs. The strength of local government in Ontario is noted, and the delegation of responsibilities to municipal- ities is recommended. A member of Toronto's Social Planning Council proposes a means of re- structuring the metropolitan area's system for human service budget and program review. The proposed system transfers many responsibilities from the metropolitan and provincial levels of gov- ernment to area municipalities and is based on a distinction between institutional and community services. The shortcomings of the multiservice, as opposed to the multifunctional, approach to serv- ice coordination are brought out in a review of the experiences of a multiservice center in a Toronto borough. Models of decentralized coordination for providing community services in Boston, Mass., Montreal, Quebec, Canada, New York City, Toron- to, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are reviewed. Highlights from workshops on public - voluntary relations, management information sys- tems, and regional coordination efforts are includ- ed.

Materials developed as part of the National Con- ference on Initiative Functions of Developmental Disabilities Councils, held in Winter Park, Colora- do, in June 1974, are presented. Topics covered in the monograph include advocacy potential, the State council as advocate, the consumer as advo- cate, planning and evaluation, consumerism, re- gionalism, revenue sharing, public awareness, legal developments, legal issues, and deinstitutionalization. A conceptual basis on which councils can build their policies concerning com- prehensive planning for developmental disability services is outlined, as is a model for council use in planning and evaluation. Consideration is given to the use of staff members from a variety of State agencies in the planning and implementation of council programs. The council's role in assuring consumer accountability in regional programs, such as councils on government, is discussed. Ways in which councils can act in behalf of dis- abled applicants for Supplemental Security Income program benefits are suggested. Steps in developing and implementing a public information campaign on developmental disabilities are out- lined. Legal issues concerning the rights of devel- opmental^ disabled persons are considered, and avenues open to councils to assist disabled per- sons in gaining and asserting their legal rights are described. Council actions in developing a pro- gram of deinstitutionalization for developmentally disabled persons are suggested.

The child welfare service delivery systems in 25 selected States are reviewed based on a survey of all management and program components of the selected child welfare service delivery systems. The goal of the project was to develop tools that can be used by all States to increase the efficiency of their operation of child welfare systems, improve interrelationships and interfaces with other pro- grams, and ultimately improve the delivery of serv- ices to children. Data were obtained from an ad- vance questionnaire to State child welfare delivery systems as well as a series of structured interviews with State and local agency representatives. These data were compiled into 25 profiles high- lighting the strengths, weaknesses, and exemplary features of each State's system. Among the impor- tant issues identified in the survey were child wel- fare in competition with other services, the scope of child welfare services and clients, organization, competence of personnel, financing and the econ- omy, advocacy for child welfare, management, planning, and needs assessment and evaluation. The appendix describes the clustering methodolo- gy employed in the development of the 25 profiles. SHR-0001527 PC A04/MF A01 Human Services Coordination Alliance, Inc , Louis- ville, Ky.

A model for integrating the delivery of human serv- ices in the Louisville, Kentucky, area is described. Model development was initiated by the Human Services Coordination Alliance, a consortium of State and local public, voluntary agencies, and elected officials. The consortium is responsible for planning, managing, and providing human serv- ices. These services include manpower, health, housing, income maintenance, and social and re- habilitative services. Objectives of the alliance are to develop linkage mechanisms among its member agencies, utilize personnel and fiscal resources ef- fectively, and assess unmet community needs. The service integration program of the alliance is detailed. It is noted that a preplanning inventory of 17 major member agencies of the alliance was conducted in order to determine the nature of serv- ice programs. The development of a coordination model is outlined. The model consists of five major components: agency functions, a human service information system, a human service planning system, a governance component, and the popula- tion being served. Consideration is given to the intake, screening, and referral function and the case accountability function of agencies. Accom- plishments of the service integration program are cited, along with program products. Distinctive fea- tures of the service integration model are exam- ined. Five variables are felt to be necessary in the achievement of effective and efficient human serv- ice delivery: establishment of a governance mech- anism, timing, intraproject communication, docu- mentation, and political strategy.

The components of case accountability in a human service delivery project in Jefferson County, Ken- tucky, are detailed. The Human Services Coordina- tion Alliance, located in Louisville, was incorporat- ed in June 1 974. The alliance is responsible for the planning and delivery of such human services as education, manpower, health, housing, income maintenance, transportation, consumer protection, legal services, recreation, and social and rehabili- tation services. Case accountability is one element of the alliance's model for service coordination. It is intended to resolve deficiencies in the human service system by holding human service agencies accountable to government and consumers for the services they provide. Component parts of case accountability are identified as case management, service provision reporting, and service outcome assessment. The objectives of case management are noted. The client pathway is presented as a sequence of events, activities of agency personnel at each step in the pathway, and the flow of forms used in the pathway. The functions of service pro- vision reporting are delineated. Input and output documents associated with service provision re- porting are described and illustrated. An approach to the determination of service costs is detailed.

The results of a survey of 93 cities in the 9-county Bay Area of California, conducted to determine what cities are doing in the area of human services are reported. Sixty-nine (93 percent) of the cities responded. It was found that half of the Bay Area city councils have established either overall poli- cies to deal with social problems or have taken a formal stand on specific human services issues. In terms of social planning, 33 percent of the 69 cities responding are doing needs assessment, 36 per- cent are designing a social services inventory, 19 percent are preparing a social element, and 26 percent are evaluating human service activities. Most of the cities not considering social planning have populations under 100,000. Over 60 percent of Bay Area cities are actively involved in operating social programs; 54 percent are funding communi- ty-based organizations and other agencies who deliver services. Over half of the cities (38) were using General Fund monies for human services and 23 cities were using General Revenue Sharing funds. Major organizational centers of human serv- ice activity were the city manager's office, the rec- reation department, and the planning department. Four cities had established a separate human services department. The agencies most often identified as being involved with the cities in overall human service activities are: county government, community action agencies, and the Association of Bay Area Governments. The survey instrument and tabular data are appended. SHR-0001545 PC A13/MF A01 Temple Univ., Philadelphia, PA. School of Social Administration. United Services Agency Evaluation Project.

The United Services Agency (USA) goals which are the major concern of the Phase II study are: (1 ) to continue to develop the concept of the human service planner (HSP) as the person at the point of intake to whom the applicant for all public social services can relate; (2) to improve the concept of the generic caseworker as the major source of direct service delivery; (3) to develop a system of staff training emphasizing service integration; (4) to promote joint planning and purchase of service arrangements with the private voluntary system; and (5) to provide an advocacy program to repre- sent consumers to USA management and the community. The following aspects of service deliv- ery are discussed: service statistics reporting re- quests for service; staff roles in the five multiser- vice centers discussed in the Phase I report; and influences on worker performance and orientation. Contrary to the way the two roles are characterized by many USA observers, the program workers are as involved in advocacy as the HSP's; furthermore, program workers are more involved with outside agencies, especially those in the private sector not under formal contract with USA. The income main- tenance staff appear least identified with the role of advocate and with the USA goal of fuller involve- ment with the private sector. Tables show the number of advocacy activity examples given by USA staff. A basic assessment in Phase I was that staff training needed strengthening, and gains in this direction are reported. It was recommended that there should be liaison between the central administration and the advisory committees at- tached to the centers. Appendices provide infor- mation on the methodology of Phase II, comments on USA multiservice center statistical reports, data collection instruments, and the process report on the attempt at implementation of the team - gener- ic experiment.

Community action agencies, regional criminal justice planning boards, area agencies on aging, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act prime sponsors, United Way agencies, and se- lected State agencies are also included. The con- clusion is drawn that no actual human services system exists in the area. Several counties have undertaken or anticipate comprehensive human services planning, but there is little similarity in the approaches taken by the counties to human serv- ice planning or to service delivery. Counties have considerable interaction with agencies within their boundaries, and expressed a desire to improve communications with cities within their boundaries regarding human service issues. Agencies were found to have little flexibility in the design of new planning processes and to vary widely in the com- position of their governing bodies. The agencies have close contact with the counties, but less in- teraction with the cities and with each other. Prima- ry barriers to better coordination, cited by both county governments and agencies, are the lack of resources to effect coordination and the attitude of 'turf protection' on the part of all involved.

A survey was conducted by the New Jersey Divi- sion on Aging in the spring of 1975 to determine the level and extent of mental health services for noninstitutionalized elderly residents of the State. Mental health services were defined in the survey to include psychiatric, case work, and counseling services provided by family service agencies, county welfare boards, State grant-in-aid psychiat- ric clinics, community mental health centers, and other related agencies. The survey was conducted in three phases: (1) preliminary investigation and interviews to obtain data and provide information relevant to the survey; (2) mailed questionnaires to all statewide agencies; and (3) followup interviews at a selected number of agencies. The return rate of the questionnaires mailed was 114 or 68 per- cent. Information was obtained on the proportion of elderly people in the total agency caseload, the number and type of programs designed specifical- ly for older people, and services offered to all cli- ents and those offered to elderly clients by the var- ious agencies. It was found that over half of the agencies in New Jersey had some type of program designed for older people. Outreach and transpor- tation were the most frequently cited problems in the delivery of service. County welfare boards saw more elderly people, although they were the least prepared in terms of dealing with mental health problems. Most agencies reported that an older person's resistance to coming for help was the most serious barrier to the provision of service. Funds were noted as the most needed resource to increase services to the elderly. The interview schedule and supporting tabular data are included.

Twelve training exercises for use in workshops on interagency collaboration are presented. The exer- cises were developed by the Interagency Collabo- ration Project, operated under the auspices of the Bureau of Drug Rehabilitation in Virginia's Depart- ment of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. The project conducted a study of the collaborative activities of six drug programs and found that, when drug program staff members used specific techniques associated with the project's inter- agency collaboration model to improve contacts with community agencies, the agencies responded by referring more clients to the drug programs and by helping the clients remain with the programs for longer periods of time. The training exercises are designed to facilitate exploration of many aspects of interagency collaboration within the context of the basic interagency collaboration model. That model stresses the concepts of role behavior needs (i.e., the needs of each staff member that must be met if he is to engage in the behavior con- sidered necessary to fulfilling his role) and social systems relatedness (i.e., the extent to which an agency worker perceives himself and his agency as part of the total human service delivery system). The exercises range from a didactic presentation of the model to role - play activities in which partici- pants are given opportunities to apply the model and to examine the collaboration activities of their own agencies. Complete instructions are included for each exercise, together with all materials re- quired to complete the exercise.

Five multiservice centers are compared in a report on service integration planned by the United Serv- ices Agency (USA) and presented by Temple Uni- versity. An indepth study of one of the USA centers located at Pittston is organized according to the following format: two sections discuss the roles of the human service planner (HSP) and the generic caseworker or program worker in the USA plan for service integration; the next section examines staff utilization and training and staff inter - relation- ships; and the last section examines community and agency involvement in affairs of the Pittston Center and other issues regarding the center's community relations. The HSP's in the Pittston Center saw case diagnosis, evaluation, and plan- ning as central to their role. A failure to perform systematic monitoring, an aspect of the HSP role, was noted. The generic caseworker originally was to provide ongoing service delivery, but at Pittston this function is shared by several other staff com- ponents. The relationship of different social serv- ice programs is compared among five multiservice centers in relation to key questions of service spe- cialization and integration. The degree to which specialized services have become integral compo- nents of a single agency is examined for the fol- lowing services: child welfare, mental health / mental retardation, juvenile probation, income maintenance, and service integration. Service inte- gration may be approached from the perspectives of consumer accountability or administrative con- venience. The development of five multiservice centers has helped to fulfill consumer require- ments, but developments in design and implemen- tation of USA have been more closely related to organizational rather than to consumer interests. Recommendations are made in the following areas: (1) integrated intake; (2) case management; (3) resource mobilization; (4) ongoing service de- livery; (5) staff utilization and training; and (6) advi- sory boards and committees. Appendices contain a discussion of data collection techniques and in- struments used in the case study of the Pittston Multiservice Center.

A project was initiated by the New England Munici- pal Center in Durham, N.H., to devise strategies that maximize the resources of local government to improve primary health care services. Data were obtained on health resources, including the number and distribution of physicians, dentists, and acute care facilities. An opinion survey was conducted in which approximately 47 percent of 539 municipal officials responded. A similar opin- ion survey was sent to health care providers, de- fined as hospital administrators, primary care phy- sicians, and directors of State medical, hospital, and nursing associations. About 308 practicing pri- mary care physicians were sampled in the 6 New England States, and 100 hospital administrators were surveyed. Approximately 32 percent of physi- cians and 58 percent of hospital administrators re- sponded to the survey. Case studies of community efforts to affect the provision of primary care serv- ices were analyzed. The findings of the project are reported, with emphasis on the maldistribution of primary care services, local government knowl- edge of the health care planning process, forces which can discourage local government involve- ment in the health care system, regional efforts to improve primary care services, and municipal roles in the delivery of primary care services. A distinc- tion is made between direct and indirect provider roles at the municipal level. It is shown that munici- pal government action is most effective by assum- ing indirect provider roles to increase access to pri- mary care services. Appended are population ratios for selected health resources, survey tables, and case study summaries. SHR-0001622 PC A03/MF A01 State Univ. of New York at Albany. Graduate School of Public Affairs.

Keywords: 'Social services, 'Local government, Regional planning, Planning, Organizing, Munici- palities, Development, Communities, Agreements, Counties, California, Los Angeles County(California). A plan is proposed that citywide governments grant control of some service delivery systems to neighborhood governments and allow the latter to prepare a budget, levy taxes, borrow funds, employ personnel, and provide services. In the re- sulting two tier system, the city government (upper tier) could assume responsibility for the provision of service if the neighborhood government (lower tier) should default. Although a neighborhood gov- ernment may not be able to provide services as economically as a city-wide government, the neighborhood government can respond more sym- pathetically and faster to the needs of its citizens. Formal and informal intergovernmental service agreements may be utilized among local govern- ments. No system of neighborhood government presently exists, but a study was made of the use of compacts by 5900 incorporated municipalities with a population of over 2500. Forty percent, or 2375 of the municipalities responded to a ques- tionnaire (not shown) seeking information on inter- governmental agreements involving 76 services; and 63 percent of the municipalities had entered into such agreements. Units in the 50,000 to 100,000 class entered into agreements with most frequency. Sixty-two percent of the service agree- ments are with counties, and the service package of the Lakewood Plan in Los Angeles County (Calif.) is described. Supporting data are presented in tables. It is suggested that provision be made for the possible adjustment of neighborhood bound- aries. SHR-0001644 PC A07/MF A01 Human Services Coordination Alliance, Inc., Louis- ville, Ky.

The second in a series of transfer documents de- scribing the human services system developed by the Human Services Coordination Alliance (HSCA), Louisville, Kentucky, is concerned with the development and maintenance of the agency resource file. In the HSCA model, the agency re- source file catalogues all human services available in the community, showing the agency name, phone number, address, hours, eligibility require- ments, and other information. The forms and pro- cedures developed by the HSCA for surveying agencies, preparing resource information, proc- essing data, publishing the data in book form, and maintaining the accuracy of the file through up- dates are described. Steps in the data collection phase include making preliminary policy decisions, identifying service sites, building an agency care file, developing rules for numbering service sites, 388 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT selecting a survey instrument, estimating the time and personnel requirements for the survey, recruit- ing and training interviewers, assigning sites to in- terviewers, informing agency executives about the survey, and scheduling interviews. Data prepara- tion activities include administrative, coding and data entry, and verification tasks. Steps in produc- ing the resource file in book form include organiz- ing the contents, deciding on printing specifica- tions, getting bids from printers, reviewing the computer print-out, and sending the final print pages to the printer. Maintenance activities are under the direction of an update coordinator and include verifying new items, surveying new sites, entering update items on the agency data base, and other activities. Samples of survey forms and printouts, a schedule for producing the agency re- source file, and a glossary are included.

The preparation and use of tools to assist human service workers and their clients in selecting serv- ices are described in the third volume of a series documenting the human services system devel- oped by the Human Services Coordination Alliance (HSCA), Louisville, Kentucky. Following an intro- ductory discussion of the need for service selec- tion tools, the steps involved in developing and using such tools are described. The steps are as follows: developing a taxonomy of service names; adopting a numbering system for services; orga- nizing the taxonomy into a framework; issuing a service selection manual; developing additional access tools for use with the agency resource file; and publishing specialized service guides. A sum- mary section covers the sequence of steps that the client, assisted by the social service worker and using the service selection tools, should follow to choose the the service suited to his need. Sample forms, service lists, problem checklists, and other supporting documentation are append- ed, together with the problem area-based index to services developed by the HSCA.

The fourth in a series of transfer documents de- scribing the human services delivery system devel- oped by the Human Services Coordination Alliance (HSCA), Louisville, Kentucky, describes the sys- tem's intake, screening, and referral (ISR) feed- back components. The ISR feedback system in- cludes the client referral information (CRI) form, used by all participating agencies for collecting standard data about clients and their service needs; the referral out assessment form, used to record the client's evaluation of his referral experi- ence; and a reporting system that provides feed- back on the outcome of referrals. The document opens with a description of the use of the HSCA's CRI form, followed by a diagram showing the flow of CRI data through the system. Other sections cover the implementation of ISR forms and proce- dures; maintenance of historical files on clients (in- cluding provisions for confidentiality of informa- tion); options for obtaining an ISR system; data entry procedures; a summary of CRI system soft- ware; flowcharts of CRI system software; and data utilization. The bulk of the document consists of appended materials, including a list of data ele- ments in the CRI form, a copy of the CRI form, instructions for ISR forms, ISR feedback training procedures for nonsystem sites; sample CRI system reports; and the data entry manual.

The fifth volume in the series documenting the human services delivery system developed by the Human Services Coordination Alliance (HSCA), Louisville, Kentucky, describes the provisions in that system for client evaluation of referrals. HSCA uses an evaluative device called the referral out- come assessment to measure the effectiveness of the referral process within the HSCA network. The information collected by the referral outcome as- sessment is used to supply data concerning cli- ents' perspectives to local planners and decision- makers, agency executives and supervisors, and workers. The client evaluation component is sup- ported by the HSCA's automated client referral in- formation system that provides capabilities for pre- paring questionnaires for mailing, creating and maintaining the data base, and utilizing data. The following steps involved in conducting a client evaluation survey are described: obtaining a re- lease of information statement; developing a ques- tionnaire; establishing a confidentiality policy; es- tablishing procedures for mailing, receiving, and filing the questionnaire; creating a file; obtaining a set of computer programs; analyzing the data; and issuing reports. A sample referral outcome assess- ment questionnaire and cover letter and examples of client evaluation data utilization are appended. A glossary is provided.

Aspects of training human service workers and su- pervisors in the use of the Human Services Coordi- nation Alliance (HSCA) intake, screening, and re- ferral (ISR) system are covered in the seventh volume of the 10-part series documenting the HSCA human services integration model. The basic decisions involved in training ~ whom to train, where and when to carry out the training, and what methods to use - are discussed, and the pur- poses of training are reviewed. Three training schedules are suggested, including an optimal 11- hour schedule for new workers unfamiliar with services integration, and alternative 9-hour and 6- hour schedules. The 6-hour program includes only instructions for using ISR tools; there is no orienta- tion program and no explanation of the overall system or of the reasons for services integration, as are presented in the lengthier training pro- grams. The bulk of the document consists of copies of training materials, including the following: a list of training activities; a checklist of supplies for a training program; an outline of the orientation session; trainers' schedules and agenda; training aids (scenarios, story strips, sample intake and re- ferral feedback forms containing mistakes for trainees to find); training review questions; training evaluation forms; and sample worker cards and intake questionnaires.

The eighth volume in the series documenting the Human Services Coordination Alliance human services integration model concerns the activities involved in monitoring the intake, screening, and referral (ISR) system once it is installed. The quali- fications of the agency monitor, i.e., the person as- signed by each provider agency to serve as liaison with the service-integrating organization that ad- ministers the ISR system, are discussed. The pri- mary qualifications are familiarity with ISR proce- dures, familiarity with the agency, and availability 389 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT of time for monitoring activities. Monitoring tasks and the amounts of time needed to perform them are noted. Monitoring tasks include liaison activi- ties, quality control, training, recordkeeping, provi- sion of information to other workers, and report writing. Preparatory steps to be taken by the agency monitor in establishing procedures for car- rying out the monitoring tasks are noted. Samples of forms used during the initial period in which the ISR system is being introduced at an agency are provided. Also included are samples of the various reports to be submitted by the agency to the serv- ice-integrating office and to be received by the agency from the service-integrating office on an ongoing basis.

The final volume in a 10-part series documenting the Human Services Coordination Alliance (HSCA) human services integration model concerns the utilization of information derived from the data base of the HSCA intake, screening, and referral (ISR) system. The ways in which system data can assist provider agency executives and community leaders in planning and delivering services and in managing their agencies are discussed, and sug- gestions for fostering effective use of ISR data are offered. The standard operational reports pro- duced by the system are described briefly, and the distinctive function of each report in the overall system is explained. Sample reports and suggest- ed uses are also included. The system's special reports are described, including analyses of data about clients, of referral activity, of the service de- livery system, and of demand for services; assist- ance in planning for locating services; analysis of client evaluation of referrals; fiscal analysis; con- sumer guides; and needs assessments. A review of the three components of the ISR information system - the agency resource information system, the client referral information system, and the re- ferral outcome assessment system - is included, together with a flow diagram of the system.

The results of field evaluations of 1 1 rural human services projects are reported, barriers to the de- livery and receipt of services in rural areas are identified, and implications for action by DHEW are discussed. The projects visited, nine of which re- ceived DHEW funds, operated within generally similar contexts: rural agricultural communities with dispersed populations and high levels of pov- erty. However, the projects varied considerably in the number and type of services provided and in the primary target groups served. A strongly con- stituted board of directors was found to be one good indicator of a strong project. Projects with broadly defined target groups and diverse goals appeared weaker than those with narrower target groups and well defined, integrated goals and ob- jectives. All projects expended high levels of effort on obtaining funding. Recognition of the need for interagency cooperation was widespread. Plan- ning and evaluation components were generally weak. Barriers to effective delivery of DHEW serv- ices in rural areas include transportation problems, lack of information about rural projects, limited flexible funding and staff capacity at the local area, and attitudinal problems, as exemplified in the common belief that DHEW's involvement in rural affairs is inappropriate. It is recommended that a long-range national strategy for rural development be established and that a commitment be made to providing dollar and manpower resources for over- coming imbalances between rural and urban America. Case studies are presented for 8 of the 1 1 projects visited. SHR-0001661 PC A03/MF A01 Wandless Associates, Kansas City, Mo.

A 2-year experimental project was initiated by the State of California in 1974 to evaluate the combi- nation of vocational rehabilitation activities with un- employment insurance, employment service, and work incentive programs. The objective of the proj- ect was to study the feasibility and desirability of consolidating and integrating manpower and voca- tional rehabilitation programs. Three variables were identified for implementation in the project: (1) colocation with unified management; (2) common intake with problem delineation; and (3) provision of three levels of client service (job - ready, nearly job - ready, and not job - ready). It was assumed in the project that labor market infor- mation is an important resource which California's Employment Development Department can offer to rehabilitation counselors. Rehabilitation coun- selors were asked to rank six sources of informa- tion in terms of their value: Employment Develop- ment Department job bank, newspaper want ads, direct employer contacts, occupational microfiche, personal experience, and other. A sample of cli- ents from the Department of Rehabilitation who were ready for employment were interviewed, as well as severely disabled clients from rehabilitation caseloads. Organizational differences between re- habilitation and employment development were assessed. It is recommended that there be no merger between the Department of Rehabilitation and the Employment Development Department, that there be no colocation at the local level with unified management, and that colocation at the local level under cooperative agreements be en- couraged.

Issues and options in the design and implementa- tion of community human service systems at the county level in Wisconsin are examined. Factors in governance decisions, including aspects of Feder- al, State, and local government control, are dis- cussed. Major arguments in support of local con- trol are outlined, and experience with local gover- nance structures in Wisconsin is reviewed. Options available to the State for the governance of the human services system within the constraints of Federal legislation are outlined and assessed, in- cluding direct State administration of services at the local level; local consultation with State admin- istration; and delegation of governance authority to elected county leadership (county boards or county executives), to county human services boards without direct involvement of county super- visors, to mixed boards including county supervi- sors, or to specially elected boards. The role of the consumer in the governance of human service systems is considered. Problems in identifying consumers of services and in determining appro- priate representatives for consumers on gover- nance boards are noted. Problems unique to sparsely settled and smaller counties in regard to planning and delivering human services are dis- cussed. Organizational options open to such coun- ties are reviewed, and arguments for multicounty approaches to human services provision are ana- lyzed. SHR-0001695 PC A03/MF A01 Wisconsin Univ.-Milwaukee.

A conceptual framework for the design of alterna- tive client pathways within decentralized human service systems is described. It is postulated that client pathways within the context of service inte- gration are characterized by lateral integration (better agency coordination and service linkage) and decentralization. Case management is consid- ered to be a logical framework for the operation of client pathways at a decentralized level. The as- sumption is made that client pathways define the functional prerequisites of case management, functioning in what are termed community human service programs. A model of a client pathway system for a geopolitical area in Wisconsin of about 30,000 residents is presented. Goals of service integration are identified as improved plan- ning, enhanced efficiency in the utilization of re- sources, more collaborative relationships among agencies, and improved communication among participant agencies. Structural elements of an in- tegrated service system are the integrator, service provider, and integrating linkages. The structure and process of case management are explored. The statement is made that case management is a mode of human service delivery which refers to the process of managing client pathways and insuring accessibility, continuity, and followup. The opera- tionalization of case management is discussed. The proposed model for a client pathway system in Wisconsin encompasses the elements of intake and information, expediting emergencies and non- complex cases, intake and assessment, service contract development, referral, followup, and case completion.

Measuring Effectiveness of Specific Title XX Services: A Microdata Sampling Approach Nov 76, 5p Grant SRS-1 8-9081 7 Keywords: 'Services, 'Evaluation, Systems, Oper- ations, Methodology, Measurement, Forecasting, Comparison, 'Social services, Clients, Objectives, Barriers, Legislation. A method employing microdata sampling tech- niques to measure the effectiveness of Title XX social services is described briefly. The method concentrates on measuring clients' progress toward goal attainment regardless of the specific social service provided. Service effectiveness is measured by whether a service has been success- ful in removing the client's barriers to achieving goals. Barriers are defined as the inverse of serv- ices. For example, the provision of day care im- plies that the client has a family condition that in- hibits or prohibits movement outside the home necessary to achieve one or more of the five Title XX goals. Service objective progress levels are ex- pressed as percentages of total clients receiving a given service under a given goal. Seven mutually exclusive categories of effectiveness (e.g., barrier removed, service discontinued, no other service provided; barrier removed, service discontinued, other services provided; barrier not removed, serv- ices continuing, other services provided) are measured. Standard statistical tests are used to obtain measures of effectiveness for specific serv- ices from barrier removal data on samples of cli- ents. Sample-size and other guidelines for imple- menting the approach are provided. 391 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SHR-0001704 PC A07/MF A01 San Diego County Dept. of Human Services, Calif.

Two approaches to information and referral (I and R) services for the elderly are compared. The pro- grams evaluated are both located in San Diego County, Calif. One, a centralized telephone serv- ice, uses paraprofessionals to handle simple infor- mation requests and professional social workers to deal with multiple - problem clients. Most of the service demand requires only information giving. The other program supplements the central system; it uses community residents 50 years and older to identify neighbors and friends needing service. Short-term in-house support services are a component of this program. The research in- volved a random sample of 1,350 telephone pro- gram intakes and 246 cases in the neighborhood program. The hypotheses tested were that the neighborhood based program would be more ef- fective in identifying clients, achieving I and R utili- zation, gaining service agency acceptance, and re- ducing response time. A second theory, which was confirmed, was that the telephone program would be more efficient in terms of staff and unit costs. It was also found that minority populations underuti- lized the telephone system and that clients of the services - particularly the neighborhood-based program - had a high likelihood of using the infor- mation. A new program combining elements from both programs is suggested. A brief history of I and R services, a bibliography, and details of the re- search methodology are included.

Problems encountered by service providers at the local level which may prevent Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) from meeting their objectives are ad- dressed. Skill is required to supply technical assist- ance to an organization, and the supplier should consider three elements: the mode of assistance, the resources for providing assistance, and the methods for delivering assistance. Problem areas occur in the way service providers and other orga- nizations relate to each other, in the internal oper- ations of agencies and organizations, and in rela- tion to efforts in reaching and serving the elderly. A guide for problem assessment and remedies is presented. The problem areas were identified through a study of 191 directors and staff from 126 agencies in three types of communities: urban, mixed urban/rural, and rural. Data collection meth- ods included indepth interviews with 48 persons and a mailed questionnaire (not shown) which was sent to 273 persons, of whom 45 percent respond- ed.

A study was conducted during 1975 and 1976 to evaluate foster family care in the eight States of DHEW Region IV. States encompassed by Region IV include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The study was designed to assess the supply of foster family homes for children, to esti- mate the extent of unmet need, to assess program policies and management patterns in order to iden- tify major factors influencing the gap between supply and demand, and to formulate a reasonable course of action to close the gap between supply and demand. Included in the study were 16,232 li- censed foster family homes and 31,911 children under foster family care. An overall sample of 64 counties, 8 from each State, was selected for in- clusion in the study. Characteristics of foster par- ents and foster children were analyzed. It was found that very little is being done in most of the States to encourage the development of foster family homes for children with special needs through funding, recruitment, licensing, and train- ing mechanisms. Estimates were made of unmet need for foster family care services in the region, using 1 970 census data as a baseline. It was deter- mined that 45.8 percent of all children in the study needed foster family care, 7.1 percent in need of foster care placements did not get them, and 60.4 percent were inappropriately placed. Factors con- tributing to the gap between supply and demand are examined, and recommendations are made for improving the foster family care program in Region IV.

During a federally funded project carried out in Michigan, it was demonstrated that paraprofes- sional personnel who were current or former recipi- ents of public assistance could effectively deliver social services to other public assistance recipi- ents. Twelve aides were assigned to various serv- ice areas, including housing repairs; appliance pur- chases, inspections, and repairs; health transpor- tation; health EPSDT Outreach (i.e., health screen- ing for eligible youths under 21); employment; and family living. Among the services these parapro- fessionals performed were provision of transporta- tion to obtain food stamps, explaining health screening to families, and providing transportation to job interviews. The project benefited the para- professionals by helping them to become self-suf- ficient and by improving their self-images. About 20 percent of the aides were able to move to better employment as a result of having gained experi- ence as paraprofessionals. The community also benefited; professionals provided much-needed transportation and repair work; and savings of 30 percent to 50 percent were realized when the paraprofessionals rather than private contractors did housing repairs.

A plan for implementing a comprehensive youth services system in Arkansas is presented in recog- nition of the uneven response at the State and local levels to the delinquency problem. A four- phase planning effort was carried out in which data were gathered and analyzed in the areas of pro- gramming and resources, youth profile informa- tion, and system impact. The youth services system that evolved has three major components: a single State-level youth services organization; a series of comprehensive, community-based youth services programs; and statewide professional ju- venile court services. The single State agency, which will be formed through consolidation of ex- isting State service components and establish- ment of new components as needed, will imple- ment an integrated youth services delivery system with emphasis on private, nonprofit, community- based services. The State will be involved in direct service delivery only to the extent that communi- ties are unable or unwilling to provide services. At least 14 local programs providing need assess- ment, nonresidential and residential services, di- versionary services, information and referral, and professional court services will be established on a catchment area basis. Long-term goals and imple- mentation schedules are set forth for each of the three major components of the plan and in the areas of education and correctional facilities.

Day care operations at the New York City Agency for Child Development (ACD) were reviewed. An organizational chart for the ACD is provided. The following areas were considered: administration, facilities, field operations, eligibility, Federal Inter- agency Day Care Requirements (FIDCR), fair hear- ings, and fiscal management. The review was initi- ated by a DHEW regional team in May 1976. Infor- mation was obtained on the organization and structure of the ACD and on the provision of social services, health services, nutrition services, and early childhood education services. Parent involve- ment with fair hearings and grievance processes of the agency was evaluated. Health and safety haz- ards were found in more than half of the 15 day care centers studied. Health and safety guidelines are presented in a chart. The fiscal management review focused upon process used by the ACD to reimburse day care providers, how the State of New York reimburses the ACD for its expenditures, and how claiming and payment procedures con- form with Federal requirements. Deficiencies in State policies on fair hearings and weaknesses in the eligibility determination process were ob- served. It was determined that more effective or- ganization and communication is needed to co- ordinate the work of the ACD central office and field operations. Although day care centers pro- vided a high level of care, they would not have met title XX child to staff ratios for all periods of the service day if Federal day care requirements were in effect.

A socially-oriented program for systematic crisis in- tervention in urban communities is described. Emergencies confronted by urban residents are traffic accidents, crime, fire, and the sudden onset of a health problem. The rationale for a social work element in an organized system of response to emergencies is discussed. Examples of typical emergency situations are cited, with emphasis on the importance of social work. Problems caused by feelings of alienation among urban residents are addressed. It is noted that the general reliance of almost all social service and community mental health organizations upon self-initiated contact by a client or family is a significant factor in social service procedures. Conceptual inadequacies in the provision of social services during crises are examined. Major issues in the implementation of the socially-oriented program in systematic crisis intervention are identified and discussed: political support, police support, public and private social service and community mental health agency sup- port, funding, and job stress.

A model was constructed to measure the overall effectiveness of alternative delivery systems for programs of the Arizona Department of Economic Security, and to provide detailed statistics on the utilization of programs and client throughput under varying staff, client load, and policy configurations. The primary objective in constructing the computer simulation model was to implement it in a multiser- vice facility. The model has been written in the computer language General Purpose Systems Simulator (GPSS 1100). Univac's GPSS 1100, General Electric's GESIM, and IMB's GPSS are all versions of GPSS, a widely used system simulation language. The model can be translated from one language to another.

The problems encountered by the State of Indiana in merging its Division on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Division into one Division of Addiction Serv- ices within the State's Department of Mental Health are recounted. The director of the old drug abuse division drafted the merger legislation with little input from the alcoholism division. The merger legislation carried over most of the sections of the old drug legislation, simply adding 'alcoholism' to 'drugs.' The failure to include the alcoholism divi- sion in the early stages of negotiation for the merged agency resulted in problems after the leg- islation was passed and implementation begun. Despite administrative problems and the need to keep close watch on the use of Federal funds, the merger has resulted in a cross - fertilization of talent, fewer duplications of operations, and cer- tain philosophical gains relative to the recognition of alcohol as a drug. One year after the merger, there is evidence that the merger division repre- sents an improvement over the separate divisions. Recommendations for achieving effective mergers between alcohol and drug divisions are offered. Questions concerning the pro's and con's of plac- ing the merged division in an existing unit of State government as opposed to establishing a new office are considered. It is noted, if a merger takes place, it does not mean that all treatment, educa- tional, research, and evaluation programs must be combined.

Human Services Financial Reporting Jun 77, 76p Keywords: 'Social services, 'Financial manage- ment, Requirements, Reporting, Planning, Meth- odology, Management systems, Budgeting, Audit- ing, Accounting, Consistency, Control charts, Standardization. The structure and content of a uniform human services chart of accounts are described. The chart is intended for statewide use in Minnesota by day activity centers, mental health centers, human service boards, and county agencies. Objectives of the chart's development were to meet local county and agency management information needs, satisfy State and Federal reporting require- ments, be usable in automated and nonautomated counties and agencies, and accommodate a vari- ety of organizational and program structures. Sub- systems which support the general ledger in the chart of accounts are client, vendor, payroll and labor distribution, reimbursement, budgeting and planning, fixed asset, receivable, payable, and lo- cation and facility subsystems. The following as- pects of the chart of accounts are detailed: funds and types of accounts, subprograms, revenue ob- jects, expense objects, balance sheet objects, and a service list. Illustrations are provided to show how the chart of accounts handles representative transactions. Benefits of the chart of accounts are enumerated, and the development of uniform ac- counting and reporting practices is reviewed.

Coordinative strategies suitable for use at the Fed- eral level to encourage effective planning for the provision of services to handicapped individuals are considered. The purpose of coordination is to provide the target population with an increase in service benefits without increasing the supply of service resources. Programmatic constraints on coordination include: different organizational roles and responsibilities, inconsistent geographic boundaries for service areas, varying jurisdictional responsibilities for services, inconsistent time tables for planning, differing planning formats, indi- vidual data bases, and varying staff capabilities. Coordination incorporates three activity levels in the social service system (policy, administrative, and service delivery). Eight coordinative strategies are detailed and also summarized in tabular form. They include the lead agency model, interagency agreements, crosscutting committees, manage- ment by objectives, advocacy, information dis- semination, coordinative planning, and ad hoc or informal methods. Criteria for the selection of a particular coordinative strategy, the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy, and the fac- tors influencing strategy selection are delineated.

The results of a study of benefits programs for the elderly are presented. Objectives of the study were to provide information and to make recommenda- tions regarding the effect of interrelationships among benefit programs for the elderly. Recom- mendations fell into five broad areas: ways in which some programs count income received from other programs, income tests used in programs for the elderly with low incomes, asset tests used in most programs for the elderly with low incomes, low rates of program participation, and administra- tion and program evaluation. Benefit programs for the elderly considered in the study were the Sup- plemental Security Income Program; the Old Age, 394 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program; Medi- care; Medicaid; the Food Stamp Program; low-rent public housing; rent supplements; pensions for veterans with nonservice-related disabilities; and pensions for widows and children of veterans.

Six volumes comprise the design of the Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS): Management Summary, CYCIS Data Elements and Input Documents, CYCIS Report Structure, System Design, Security and Privacy Manual, and File Descriptions. CYCIS consists of four function- al components: intake and case management, re- ferral services, adoption exchange, and program management. The intake and case management component is the basic operational component of CYCIS. The major functions performed within this component are: maintenance of child case infor- mation, monitoring of child status, initiating child registrations on the adoption exchange, and inter- facing with referral services. The primary function of the referral component is to create and maintain a directory of service providers. The adoption ex- change component, an optional component, is to improve the adoption process. The program man- agement component's primary function is to assist in the evaluation and planning process. Detailed functional flow charts were developed from the final system thread descriptions produced during CYCIS conceptualization. Transaction matrices provide the base for system module definition. The system modules implied by the transaction matri- ces are of three types: Level I Executives, Level II Transaction Modules, and Level III Processing Functions. The CYCIS reporting structure is de- fined as a modular reporting methodology (MRM). The basic concept behind MRM is to provide a basic set of key reports that can be optionally pro- duced in a variety of relevant dimensions. An over- view of the security and privacy manual is given. Plans for implementation are described. The work for the Phase II report was guided by the CYCIS National Planning Committee whose members are listed in front of each of the volumes. Examples of CYCIS input or turnaround, documents, and a case planning worksheet are provided. Also included are tables and a bibliography.

Descriptions of proposed input forms for the Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYSIS) are presented. Intake and case management com- ponents are discussed. The CYCIS case record is used to create a computer record for a new child entering the system; to add, change, or update in- formation on a child's record which already exists in the computer; and to delete specific data ele- ments or delete the total record when appropriate. The CYCIS case record is subdivided into eight major categories of data: identification, client char- acteristics, related persons, current entry informa- tion, case management information, court informa- tion, closing information, and errors and notes. The CYCIS Service Journal is the barrier and services input document associated with the CYCIS case record. Together they form the child tracking vehi- cle used by the system. The data appearing on the CYCIS Service Journal can be subdivided into three categories: identification, barrier information, and service information. A case planning work- sheet is also provided. The adoption exchange data base is maintained through the use of two tur- naround documents: the adoptive child registration form and the adoptive applicant registration form. The resource directory provider form provides three types of information: identification, admis- sions requirements, and services available. Pro- posed goal, barrier, and service structures are dis- cussed, and a barrier structure comparison is made of two States. Data elements for documents discussed are shown in the appendix.

The Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS) report structure is designed to satisfy three basic levels of information needs: strategic, tactical, and operational. Strategic needs require the highest degree of reporting flexibility using broad aggregative summary data for planning and decisionmaking by management. Operational needs usually deal with specific areas using child identifiable data needed by line workers and super- visors. Tactical needs fall between strategic and operational level needs, or transcend both levels, and depend upon the current requirements of the user. The CYCIS reporting structure is defined as a modular reporting methodology (MRM). MRM is primarily directed toward administrative reports re- quired at the strategic and tactical organizational levels. There are two vehicles by which reporting modularity and flexibility are achieved: extraction criteria and aggregation criteria. Key reports nec- essary to support caseworker operational process- es are described. The reports have been aggregat- ed into three categories: case management, adop- tion exchange, and referral component reports. Key reports necessary to support administrative planning are aggregated into five categories: case management program management reports, adop- tive exchange program management reports, re- ferral program management reports, system re- ports, and miscellaneous outputs. Sample layouts are included with report descriptions. The ability of CYCIS to meet social service reporting require- ments is discussed. The goal structures of CYCIS are functional as defined by Title XX and environ- mental. Environmental settings for children in the CYCIS goal structure include living with family or relatives, independent living, adoption, foster homes, and institutional care. It is stressed that the names appearing on the samples are fictitious. SHR-0001852 PC A14/MF A01 Mott-McDonald Associates, Inc., Washington, DC.

The Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS) structure is described in terms of compo- nent functions and system programming require- ments necessary for implementation. Key topics addressed in the overview are overall functional scope of CYCIS, implications of transferability of system design, and pertinent design methodolo- gies used for CYCIS system architecture. CYCIS consists of four functional components: intake and case management, referral services, adoption ex- change, and program management. The system modules, or programs, implied by the transaction matrices were developed for each component from functional flow charts and general narrative. These modules are of three types: (1) Level I Ex- ecutives; (2) Level II Transaction Modules; and (3) Level III Processing Functions. The Level I Execu- tives function at the highest level as table - orient- ed, parameter - driven, process control programs and control the following kinds of tasks: CYCIS master file creation, CYCIS update transactions, CYCIS inquiry / reporting transactions, file reorga- nization and backup / recovery, and system file maintenance and support. The Level II Transac- tion Modules function at a secondary level as de- pendent subprograms and control specific internal tasks for the following groups of transaction types: security checks, data validation, data conversion, data extraction, output reporting, file search and update, and audit trail and job accounting. Level III Processing Functions, the most elementary seg- ments of the hierarchical module structure, de- scribe the following tasks: record access for a par- ticular master file, validation of a particular data element, and internal sorting of a group of records. The appendices show the three levels for each of the four components. Each of these modules is de- scribed in terms of input / output requirements, processing function, and system interface specifi- cations.

The establishment and implementation of the Child and Youth Centered Information System (CYCIS) is contingent upon acceptance of the prin- ciples and procedures equivalent to those set forth in the security and privacy manual. These princi- ples and procedures are required to insure the in- tegrity of recorded information and prevent the misuse of CYCIS records, to minimize the potential threats to privacy which are inherent in any record- keeping system, and to assure the maximum pos- sible confidentiality of individually identifiable re- corded information. The agencies having legiti- mate access to CYCIS data are defined. Also dis- cussed are the agencies allowed to enter informa- 395 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT tion on the CYCIS record and the authority mecha- nisms and procedures for release of CYCIS infor- mation. External security encompasses the mech- anisms and procedures used in protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of child data in all areas exterior to the computer system itself. The following elements of external security are dis- cussed: physical security, employee security, coding of client name, separation of identifiable data, security contract with an operational group, backup and restart procedures, external file labels, provisions to prosecute violators of security and privacy, user and system audits, and hard copy de- struction. Internal security measures are specific computer software - designed safeguards that help protect the security and privacy of CYCIS rec- ords. The following internal security measures are discussed: internal file labels, coded file keys, limit- ed run cycles, expungement of data, historical one - way algorithm, and real - time systems security measures (user passwords, terminal identification, and cryptography). All records created and used in providing youth services should employ these prin- ciples and procedures to insure confidentiality of information.

A random sample of Title XX day care users in three Florida counties (Leon, Pinellas, and Duval) was surveyed in 1976. A total of 145 families re- sponded, constituting an 81 -percent response rate from 180 families selected. Eighteen of the 145 families terminated day care services by the end of the interviewing process, limiting most of the anal- ysis of data to 127 families. The following aspects were studied: eligibility categories, modes of and continuity in day care, adult status in the families sampled, job distribution, number of children, time required for placement in Title XX day care, length of stay in Title XX day care, the receipt of informa- tion about day care, and multiservice clients. Re- sults indicated an increased role of the central pro- vider agency in information and referral. Support was demonstrated for increasing the use of local media sources to reach potential Title XX day care clients. Information and referral sources dealt pri- marily with getting potential clients into the day care system but largely ignored referral from day care to other social services. Differences were ob- served in the time required for the placement of income maintenance and income eligible families. Over 25 percent of the families were receiving food stamps, and 20 percent were receiving Medicaid. It appeared that people who used Title XX day care were from small families with low family income levels. The survey instrument is appended. Charts and tables are provided.

Techniques and approaches to program evalua- tion are offered to assist community mental health centers as they extend their evaluation efforts under the Community Mental Health Center Amendments of 1975 (P.L. 94-63). The guide opens with a discussion of a working definition for program evaluation, the legislative mandate for the concept, pressures on community mental health centers to conduct program evaluation, prevalent attitudes toward program evaluation, the linking of evaluation to program planning and change, and suggestions for ways in which the program evalu- ator may most effectively communicate with a wide variety of people. Subsequent chapters offer sug- gestions for conceptualizing and analyzing the ad- ministration of program evaluation in order to make it manageable; reviewing basic tools, either pre- liminary or ancillary, for program evaluation (man- agement information systems, needs assessment, patterns of utilization, and cost analysis), and taking up a series of technical topics in program evaluation (outcome studies, cost-effectiveness analysis, evaluation of consultation and education, and quality assessment). The manual concludes with a discussion of citizen review of community mental health centers.

The state of the art of human service program evaluation in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah as of 1977 is as- sessed on the basis of interviews with staff mem- bers of State planning and budgeting agencies, State divisions of human services, and local agen- cies. The types of evaluation procedures and tools being used in DHEW Region VIII are described, and needs expressed by staff members concern- ing evaluation are discussed. The report covers the following DHEW programs: mental retardation and developmental disabilities, older Americans (titles III and VII), rehabilitation, child welfare, ma- ternal and child health, crippled children's serv- ices, title XX, community mental health centers, and alcohol and drug abuse programs. Evaluation is found to exist, primarily in the developmental stages. Fiscal accountability is the most frequently used form of evaluation, although several pro- grams are experimenting with the measurement of program impact. Staffing for evaluation is minimal. Frequently evaluation is part of the planning struc- ture, sometimes linked organizationally with offices of staff development or statistics. Responsibility for evaluation usually is found at the divisional level, rather than at the State planning or umbrella agency level. Staff members expressed a desire to share information and questions on evaluation with other agencies.

This manual for monitoring social service projects was developed by the Demonstration Projects Committee of the Community Council in Hartford, Conn., and is part of an ongoing effort by the coun- cil to devise systematic and standardized methods for evaluating social service programs. Six goals of the manual are to help the council determine the level of evaluation which is to be undertaken, to serve as a guide for monitoring social service pro- grams, to provide the council with a standard framework and procedure for monitoring, to pro- vide program staff and funders in agencies other than the council with a clear outline of monitoring procedures, to illustrate to program staff and funders that monitoring is a process from which they receive benefits, and to explain the role of monitoring in a citizen - based council. In monitor- ing, it is assumed that a project is being evaluated over time. Elements involved in monitoring against stated goals and objectives are listed and proce- dures for monitoring are detailed in terms of when it should be conducted and what should be moni- tored. Guidelines for the preparation of a monitor- ing design are given and steps in this preparation are outlined, including the identification of out- comes, the selection of monitoring tools, pretest- ing, and final statement of monitoring design. Im- plementation aspects of the monitoring design are discussed, and the role of committees and sub- committees in the monitoring process is examined. Appendices contain additional procedural informa- tion and forms related to monitoring, as well as a summary of projects monitored by the Community Council.

The status of projects and activities of the Office of Human Services (OHS) in Minnesota between 1975 and 1977 is evaluated. OHS was authorized and funded in 1975 and was mandated to submit a report to the 1 977 legislature for the reorganization of the delivery of State and local human services. The office recommended legislation that con- cerned the creation of a Department of Economic Security and a Department of Health and Social Services, amendments to the Minnesota Human Services Act, and the clarification of the authority of juvenile courts. The final responsibility of OHS was to provide primary support for the ongoing de- velopment and servicing of human service boards. The period between 1975 and 1977 reflected an emphasis on organizational change at the State level and continuing support of human service boards. The Department of Economic Security was established, and technical amendments to the Human Services Act were passed. A proposal in- volving community health services was also en- acted into law. It is pointed out that Minnesota's approach to human service development has been slow and deliberate, involving open participation and focusing on both State and local level change. This approach allows flexibility in how services are delivered, particularly at the county level. Appendi- ces contain additional information on legislative support of human service boards, expenditures and resources of the OHS, and a bibliography.

This report, prepared by the Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Inc., considers group homes as an alternative to institutionalization or foster care for disadvantaged children in New York City. A stratified random sample of 17 agencies and 30 group homes was selected for the project. Teams of two visited agency offices, interviewed executives and / or staff members responsible for group home programs, and left copies of fact sheets to be completed on each group home oper- ated by the agency. Fact sheets included ques- tions about the geographical distribution, whether the homes are located in houses or apartments, whether they are owned or leased and if leased, what is the monthly rental, how long the home has been in operation, rated capacity and census, chil- dren served including sibling groups, criteria for ad- mission, program and use of community re- sources, and staffing patterns. Details on the fol- lowing aspects of group homes are provided: site selection, community opposition, daily living proce- dures, programs and services, characteristics of the children, admission and discharge procedures, average length of stay, parental visitation, staff re- cruitment and utilization, preparation of children for group home placement, and fiscal considerations. Recommendations to improve group home serv- ices are offered, and a list of references is includ- ed.

The Atlanta Regional Commission was designated the Atlanta Area Agency on Aging by the Georgia Department of Human Resources and, with the help of the Atlanta Federal Executive Board, pub- lished a booklet in 1 975 to show the available in- formation and referral resources for the elderly in the Atlanta region. The following centers are in- cluded: the Federal Information Center, the Golden Age Information and Referral Service, the Social Security Administration (4 district and 3 branch offices), TIE-LINE, and United Way Infor- mation and Referral. The following information is provided for each center: organization and facili- ties; resource file; staffing; access; interviewing; in- formation giving and referral; followup, publicity, and outreach; escort and transportation; and rec- ords and reports. TIE-LINE, which opened in 1974, operates under the auspices of the Georgia De- partment of Human Resources and serves the State of Georgia with information by telephone (95 percent) or letter (5 percent). Only a small percent- age of TIE-LINE calls are from the elderly, and many of these are referred to the Social Security Administration. Specialized consumer counseling and 24-hour trained crisis counselors are availa- ble. Most inquiries from the elderly deal with Social Security, Medicaid, and general health and finan- cial matters.

This study of mentally ill mothers and their children was conducted by the Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Inc. Psychotic mothers were identified, and a determination was made of whether their children showed symptomatology in- dicative of disturbances and of which children seemed to be managing reasonably well. A number of health and social agencies in New York City, which provided homemaker, visiting nurse, and day care services to mentally ill mothers, as well as to other individuals, were approached. An interview guide was devised for sampling a total of 1 95 mothers of 587 children separated into three subgroups: 65 mothers (166 children) seen during a preliminary pilot phase of the study, 61 mothers (172 children) interviewed in hospitals or described anonymously by hospital staff working in the psy- chiatric departments of several general municipal and voluntary hospitals, and 69 mothers (249 chil- dren) described anonymously by the staff of a number of health and social agencies. In all, 235 interviews were conducted by 32 interviewers. Two - thirds of all mothers retained their children, despite the frequency of hospitalization. Qualita- tive data suggested that the aspect most closely related to the retention of children was the pres- ence of an extended family willing and able to assist the mother. More than half the mothers in hospital and agency samples took care of all their children after hospital discharge. Many women whose children had been placed in foster care were involved in legal proceedings in an attempt to re - establish their families. A number of women continued to show symptoms, even after hospital discharge, that might influence their competency in child care to a greater or lesser degree. A sur- prising finding was that few of the children had psy- chological or emotional problems. Recommenda- tions pertaining to the care of children by mentally ill mothers are presented, and a list of references is included. SHR-0002065 PC A07/MF A01 Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park.

The impact of the establishment of four multiser- vice centers in a two - county area (Luzerne and Wyoming) by the United Services Agency (USA) in Pennsylvania is assessed. Each multiservice center provides single entry access to an integrat- ed network of social services that includes the fol- lowing programs: mental health / mental retarda- tion, day care, child welfare, juvenile detention and probation, and adult welfare and aging services. A key principle underlying center operations is that of service planning by a human service planner work- ing directly with consumers to articulate needs and prepare a service plan to deal with those needs. A 398 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT survey of 840 consumers was conducted in 1 974 to obtain their viewpoints on the quality, efficiency, and value of services received at the USA centers. Demographic and socioeconomic data on con- sumers permitted the identification of certain need segments in the population. Consumers heard of the centers and attributed their first visit primarily to word - of - mouth communication. Few of the respondents were aware of the existence of a Center Advisory Committee that included a con- sumer member. With regard to center facilities, personnel, and general system effectiveness, con- sumers reported very positive ratings. There was a low frequency of referrals to other community re- sources. About 80 percent of the respondents stated that they received one or more services. The majority of serious difficulties which consum- ers discussed with planners translated readily into a need for one or more income maintenance serv- ices. Ninety-two percent of major services fell into income maintenance categories, with the domi- nant single service being food stamps. Service had been completed for approximately 40 percent of the recipients at the time of the survey, which was about 3 months after entry into the centers. A bib- liography is provided.

This Citizens' Committee report presents a brief chronological account of 25 years of child welfare crisis in New York City and recommends several steps to alleviate the situation. The report empha- sizes that establishing additional shelters will not provide the children with the services they need. Instead, efforts should be directed toward recruit- ing foster parents, encouraging able relatives to provide for children, encouraging child care agen- cies to increase their capacity and accept children sight unseen, hiring more social work personnel to facilitate home finding, subsidizing adoption, and establishing special administrative arrangements. The public welfare system in New York City has been organized around two major tasks: to provide financial assistance for those who are eligible; and to arrange temporary, long - term, and permanent placement of children. An organization built around the process of child placement alone cannot be expected to create programs and policies which promote the welfare of children living at home. It is proposed, therefore, that the basic social service system in New York City focus on sustaining fami- lies. Premises involved in the family service ap- proach are enumerated emphasizing case ac- countability and service integration. Planning, ad- ministration, monitoring, and innovation are dis- cussed as important components of a family serv- ice system. The goal is to improve the daily experi- ence and prospects of the children currently re- ceiving interim and long - term care in New York City facilities.

The growth of rural communities is discussed in re- lation to social service needs and the formulation of social service policies. Social problems that exist in rural areas, particularly in the New England area, are noted. Difficulties associated with the provision of human services to resolve these prob- lems are examined. Data on the attributes of the rual population in the United States are provided. It is pointed out that services in rural areas are not as well developed as those in metropolitan areas. This situation is especially the case in rural New England where structural aspects of State and local governments constitute a significant barrier to the support and development of human service agencies. The lack of a broad network of services in rural areas is cited. Alternative approaches to the provision of appropriate human services in rural areas are described. They pertain to the de- velopment of National and State policies, the role of local government, and the functioning of human service agencies. Recommendations for the im- provement of social services are offered.

The plan for children and family services for fiscal years 1978 to 1980 of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) outlines the past and current delivery of the DCFS services, and the proposals for future services. The DCFS provides social services to children and their fami- lies, operates children's institutions, and provides rehabilitative and direct child welfare services when not available through other agencies. The agency is also responsible for adjudicated neglect- ed or dependent children, and children under age 13 who have been adjudicated delinquent. The DCFS proposes significant expansion of the family maintenance (inhome) services to keep families together whenever possible. By 1 980, a 74 percent increase is foreseen in the number of recipients of family services. Greater public awareness about child abuse and neglect is increasing the number of reported cases, and additional staff resources will be needed for proper investigation and follow- up. The Department also proposes to purchase and provide better quality residential care, foster care, and adolescent training and support pro- grams. The age of foster children will increase, and the collateral difficulties in caring for such children will necessitate greater supervision through private agencies. As the DCFS gradually shifts to early in- tervention services, the number of days of substi- tute care services will decrease, but the effects of union agreements and rising costs will offset possi- ble savings in programs. Capital development plans and applicable statutes are appended. SHR-0002101 PC A05/MF A01 Virginia Commission for Children and Youth, Rich- mond. Innovative Programming for Children and Youth.

The findings of a study to assess the value of peri- odic case review for foster children are presented. Case review is defined as a management control device for monitoring the plans and progress of entire populations of children in foster care on a case - by - case basis. General characteristics of case review are described. Two goals of case review are identified: to enhance the security of foster children, whether such security involves res- toration homes, adoption, or planned permanent foster care; and to increase the accountability of case workers and / or child welfare agencies. A review of the literature on foster care is presented. In New Jersey, the innovative review of children in placement (RCP) system was implemented. To de- termine if RCP had any impact on case planning and case outcomes for client children, a retrospec- tive longitudinal analysis of individual narrative case records was conducted. A cohort of children entering foster care in 1971 before the existence of RCP was compared with a cohort entering foster care in 1974 during the period of RCP. Key issues examined were the intake characteristics of children and their families, the type and extent of case planning, and outcomes of agency interven- tions. Staff participation in the RCP program and case review procedures and their effectiveness were evaluated. The financial costs of reviewing children in foster care were analyzed. There ap- peared to be irreconcilable disparities among pur- poses of case review process. Recommendations are offered to improve worker and agency ac- countability and case outcomes.

The second volume of this two part series deals with major issues in the emerging pattern of fiscal federalism as it affects urban communities and their capacity to produce and deliver human serv- ices. The concept of fiscal federalism seeks to return a greater measure of public service planning and programming to State and local governments. Nine articles on aid distribution and urban strate- gies and eight articles on the effectiveness and equity of education, health, and welfare programs are included. Topics addressed in the series of nine articles include: Federal approaches to intra- state grant allocation; urban needs and Federal funding; patterns in State aid distribution; wage rates, employment levels, and State and local gov- ernment expenditures for health and education; urban programs in a Federal system; and regional- ism within States. Subjects covered in the series of eight articles include: the implications of welfare reform for State and local fiscal relations; the status of and prospects for municipal retirement plans; public health; jurisdictional responsibility and meeting the human resource developmental problems of urban areas; the local delivery of child care services; and Federal funds for vocational education.

Forms used in an evaluation of Project EASE (Em- ployment Assistance and Support for Ex - Offend- ers) and resulting statistical data are presented in these appendices to the project's final evaluation report. Administered by the Texas Department of Community Affairs in cooperation with the Texas Youth Council and the Texas Rehabilitation Com- mission, the project was instrumental in reducing the recidivism rate of communities in which it oper- ated (San Antonio, Dallas, and Fort Worth). Signifi- cant concepts related to the project's success were the use of peer counselors, a team effort, the broker of services concept involving community re- source specialists, and the multiplier concept en- compassing the utilization of volunteers and volun- teer organizations. A variable dictionary pertaining to client backgrounds is provided, along with client, family, and EASE team member questionnaires administered in the collection of evaluation data. Statistical tests and calculations involved in data analysis are detailed. Technical data on drug and alcohol use, types of crimes, and recidivism are tabulated for 205 clients of Project EASE. A narra- tive interpretation of the data is given. SHR-0002174 PC A02/MF A01 Massachusetts Executive Office of Human Serv- ices, Boston. Taunton Area Service Integration Project.

The changes in attitudes and tasks experienced by 16 employees who went from working on a ward at Taunton State Hospital in Massachusetts to work- ing in a neighborhood center are assessed. The 16 employees who were interviewed supported the deinstitutionalization process, but they felt the changeover was made too quickly. Help received from both the administrative director, who orga- nized the program, and the nursing supervisor were important aids in the transition process. The main criticisms are the fact there was too little training for their new role in a human service center and poor communication between the area administration and the human service centers. Two effective communication aids are suggested to improve the communication problem between the area office and the centers: (1) a regular news- letter reporting what is occurring in all parts of the area project; and (2) several intermediaries who would act as 2 - way transmitters of information, clarifiers, and mediators. The judicious use of staff meetings and planned social gatherings was sug- gested as aids to the changeover employees. In addition to these intraorganizational functions, the employees believed that units of the community program need to publicize their presence and edu- cate the communities about the appropriate use of the human service centers. Survey interview ques- tions and some of the employee responses are in- cluded. SHR-0002187 PC A03/MF A01 Polk County Board of Supervisors, Des Moines, Iowa.

A 3 - year development effort was initiated in Polk County, Iowa, to design a mechanism for integrat- ing human services at the delivery level so all bar- riers preventing an individual from achieving self - sufficiency could be removed or minimized. An ap- plication was submitted to the services integration target of opportunity program in 1972 to develop an appropriate system. The effort's specific objec- tives were to: conduct, for planning purposes, a needs assessment of a representative sample of the general population to identify barriers impeding self - sufficiency; design and implement an auto- mated management information / case manage- ment service delivery system; establish four to six colocation sites; and establish a community orga- nization mechanism for implementing the service delivery system. The effort was successful with regard to the needs assessment, the establish- ment of colocation sites, and the design of an 400 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT automated management information / case man- agement system. The linkage network tying to- gether the services of external agencies by com- puter, however, was not implemented due to resistance. This resulted in a systems design that was too costly and complex, requiring modification to meet the needs of the Polk County Department of Social Services. The overall effort highlighted the importance of adequate client caseload man- agement, the need for common service definitions, and the significance of joint planning between the public and private sectors and improved account- ability in the delivery of services. Additional infor- mation on the 3 - year developmental effort is ap- pended. SHR-0002198 PC A07/MF A01 Administration on Aging, Washington, D.C.

Forms are presented in this guidebook to aid in the assessment of State agencies on aging. Agency assessment is viewed as a continuous process which serves to check on the planning, manage- ment, coordination, administration, evaluation, technical assistance, and advocacy capacities of the particular agency. Five goals of assessment are to determine: the quality of State agency on aging operations as measured against its ap- proved plan, the performance of the agency in complying with laws and regulations, innovative programs or successful techniques which should be made available to other agencies for possible replication, the need for technical assistance in areas where there are apparent weaknesses or problems, and areas requiring corrective action. The guidebook is divided into 12 sections: adminis- trative capacity, capacity to meet responsibilities in civil rights, planning capacity, capacity for leader- ship and advocacy, coordination and resource de- velopment, capacity for monitoring and assess- ment, capacity to provide technical assistance, ca- pacity to approve and manage area agencies on aging, capacity to approve and manage Title VII nutrition projects, capacity to promote or establish national priority services, capacity to manage grants and contracts, and program management and fiscal administration capacity.

A systematic needs assessment project in Florida employed the geographic display package in the conduct of 744 interviews in Hillsborough County (Tampa). The results of the interview survey were used as the incidence input for a computer map. During the survey, a map of the county was divided into census tracts and digitized and entered into a computer. Using the survey and the map, geo- graphical displays were drawn to show all options available in the geographic display computer map- ping package. Thirty - four problem areas were identified in the survey for which problem inci- dence and unmet needs could be illustrated by the geographic display plotter program. Two computer runs depicted the incidence of need for information and referral services across demographic groups and the unmet needs for the same service. Display options that can be produced by the geographic display computer program are: two concentric cir- cles, three concentric circles, equally divided cir- cles, and pie - cut circles. Each of these options depicts problem incidence or unmet needs, or both, for selected problem areas, demographic groups, and geographic areas. The appendices contain detailed information on the program's op- eration, related technical specifications, sample program runs and display maps, and a list of refer- ences.

The DPA has been identified as the "designated" State agency for administration of the Social Security Act Title XX program, which provides reimbursement to States for social services rendered to low - income individuals. The agency has a county office in each of the downstate counties, and 23 offices in the Chicago area. The major services of DPA are di- rected at assisting eligible persons to become self - supportive and self - sufficient, and to provide protection, institutionalization, and community / home - based care as needed. Projected changes in service delivery during fiscal years 1978 to 1980 include the transfer of residential treatment and developmental disabilities programs to other agen- cies, and the decrease in family planning services. Substantial increases are foreseen in expenditures for education, training, and employment services, primarily due to increased Federal assistance through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. The DPA also plans experimental use of a computer - assisted information and referral system to enhance the statewide delivery of spe- cial services. Internal management improvements are also planned. Further discussion concerns capital expenditures, target group - problem analy- sis, and substate planning and service delivery areas.

This volume from the series on Illinois human serv- ices agencies outlines the past and current deliv- ery of services by the Illinois Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and identifies proposals for the future delivery of these services. During fiscal year 1976, the DVR maintained its commitment to the provision of services to the physically and / or mentally handicapped. It is the objective of the DVR to assist clients in becoming self - sufficient and active participants in the employment market. Forty - one area offices, housing from 3 to 17 counselors, are located throughout the State so that clients may obtain services within their home community. In a cooperative network with other social service agencies and facilities, DVR person- nel strive to obtain the best assistance for their cli- entele. For 1979 and 1980, DVR will enhance the living potential of the disabled within their commu- nities by providing employment skills through train- ing, and opportunity for employment through public awareness campaigns. Under existing regulations the first priority for services must be given to the severely handicapped, then to public service em- ployees, and then to the less handicapped. Alter- natives, such as the use of external resources, are being considered to assist the marginally handi- capped. Shifts in Federal policy will necessarily dictate funding availability. Additional discussion concerns agency organization, proposed internal management improvements, and target - group problem analysis. A summary of Statewide serv- ices is provided. Appended material includes a list of statutory provisions applicable to the DVR. SHR-0002222 PC A04/MF A01 Illinois Dept. of Labor, Springfield. Bureau of Em- ployment Security.

The Illinois Bureau of Employment Security is man- dated by Federal legislation to provide job - finding and employment assistance to the citizens of Illi- nois. The Employment Service Division is orga- nized into 5 substate areas with 71 local offices. The work incentive program (WIN) - providing em- ployment assistance to recipients of benefits under the aid to families with dependent children program - is organized into 2 substate areas with 23 local offices. The five services offered by the bureau are occupational identification of appli- cants, employment counseling, employment test- ing, referral and supportive services, and job placement. The goal of the bureau is the attain- ment of economic and social self - sufficiency for its clients, thereby eliminating their need for serv- ices provided by the agency. During fiscal year 1978 services will be directed to veterans, mi- grants, youth, unemployment insurance claimants, and other long - term unemployed in special appli- cant groups. The special applicant groups include the handicapped, minorities, economically disad- vantaged, women, and older workers. WIN funding will be consolidated, and responsibility for prepar- ing a WIN budget will be given to the bureau which will transfer funds to the Department of Public Aid. The bureau has initiated a program of organiza- tional and management planning to expand the ad- ministrative capability so that management will be able to better utilize the limited resources availa- ble. The following critical issues will be addressed during the planning phase: services to local areas in accordance with demographic trends, improved coordination with Comprehensive Employment Training Act prime sponsors, expanded regional automation of the processing of employment serv- ices, and possible combination of field services with those of the unemployment insurance system Tabular material is presented throughout the text, and appendices contain relevant statutory provi- 401 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT sions, an organizational chart of the bureau, and maps and listings of employment service regions and WIN offices.

This plan for manpower and human development services is one of 1 3 comprising the Illinois Human Services plan. The Government's Office of Man- power and Human Development (GOMHD) is re- sponsible for administering the Federal Compre- hensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA), and the Community Services Act. The pur- pose of this agency is to provide maximum em- ployment opportunities for the unemployed, under- employed, and economically disadvantaged in all areas of the State not under the jurisdiction of a prime sponsor designated by the U.S. Department of Labor; to enhance the self - sufficiency of these target groups; to ensure a sequence of service which will assist these target groups to achieve or maintain economic self - support; and to establish effective coordination of State and local manpow- er and anti - poverty efforts. The Balance of State (BOS) prime sponsor area includes 70 of Illinois' 102 counties and is subdivided into regions for planning and service delivery within the BOS area. The State Economic Opportunity Office (SEOO), a division of GOMHD, has special responsibility de- rived from the Headstart, Economic Opportunity, and Community Partnership Act of 1974 to advise and assist the Governor and the Community Serv- ices Administration (CSA) on anti - poverty activity; to represent the interests and needs of the poor at the State governmenta level; to provide advice, training, and technical assistance to community agencies in the State; and to assist in monitoring and evaluating the programs of local agencies. Programmatic changes, the impact of anticipated Federal legislation / regulations, and new internal managerial improvements are projected, including the following: BOS prime sponsor division of GOMHD will be responsible for the administration of a new year - round, Federally funded youth em- ployment program; the SEOO will be undertaking two new programmatic efforts - a housing rehabili- tation program for low - income rural residents and a rural transportation program for low - income el- derly and physically handicapped rural residents; and the State Manpower Services Division, in con- junction with the BOS division, will participate in an expanded interagency coordination program.

The Illinois Commission on Human Relations (ICOHR), created in 1947, is responsible for pro- moting goodwill and tolerance and encouraging in- terfaitn and interracial communication through its services in housing, employment, and education. The commission has offices in Chicago and Springfield and serves the State through four serv- ice units: community development and planning, intake, community services, and communications. The commission's services are directed toward conciliation of employer - employee complaints, community planning assistance, public informa- tion, and assisting other agencies in providing quality service. Future plans for ICOHR continue to involve utilization of workshops to provide training, along with direct counseling and forums to serve the needs of clients. The agency plan, however, will be more concerned with employability of indi- viduals, access to legal services, and affirmative marketing in housing. These services aim to in- crease opportunities for the individual or group to be included in the mainstream of life. Target groups include the aged, the poor, women, and mi- norities. The ICHOR works with local community relations commissions in eight substate areas to provide services to strengthen communities repre- senting a mixture of geographic, racial, and eco- nomic factors within the State. The future direction of the agency is to extend outreach services for clients and to establish closer working relation- ships with other service providers in the public and private sectors.

The Illinois Commission on Delinquency Preven- tion was established by the general assembly in January 1976 and is authorized to conduct a broad range of services. The purposes of the commis- sion are to assist local communities in the develop- ment of programs for the prevention and control of delinquency and the rehabilitation of delinquents through community - based measures and to im- prove the capacity of local communities to deal ef- fectively with social and economic problems relat- ed to youth. Priority for service is given to commu- nities with high rates of crime, and the commission provides consultative service or grants to public and private organizations to initiate programs to al- leviate causes of delinquency or reduce delinquen- cy acts. The commission also conducts public edu- cation programs and maintains a statewide central records system of juvenile offenses. The commis- sion's plan projects the following changes in serv- ice delivery: extending service to communities lacking organized groups of indigenous leaders to develop and maintain local programs for youth; ex- tending service to communities lacking motivation or expertise in acquiring local funds and resources to support youth services programming; and ex- tending the services of the Juvenile Officers Infor- mation Division to approximately 300 police and sheriff departments currently not participating in the program. Expansion of community service pro- grams can be achieved through providing in- creased field staff to 20 additional communities, assisting local groups in securing funds to continue youth services on an ongoing basis, and increasing Juvenile Officers Information Division services to all police and sheriff departments in the State. The commission will continue to expand efforts to im- prove working relationships with public and private youth service agencies and to cooperate with other agencies in holding workshops, confer- ences, and seminars to plan delinquency preven- tion programs. The commission services the State through four regional substate areas, and funds are appropriated separately for each area. Numer- ous tables and maps are included.

The Illinois Division of Services for Crippled Chil- dren (DSCC) has been provided a broad mandate to service children with physical defects, disabil- ities, and handicaps who have need for special medical and related habilitative services. DSCC services are concerned with diagnosis, continued evaluation, and treatment often involving the provi- sion of adaptive appliances and followup care. Two methods of service delivery are used: direct patient involvement by staff including organization of general and special field clinics primarily outside Chicago and purchase of medical and habilitative care on the basis of an individualized plan of serv- ices through private care sources. The State and Federal Governments provide most of the funding for services. DSCC is a centralized agency with a principal administrative office in Springfield and 10 field offices throughout the State. Approximately 384 general and special clinics per year are pro- moted by the field offices within 42 communities primarily within community hospitals. The immedi- ate plan for providing services to crippled children involves eliminating differences between services to residents of Chicago and residents in other parts of the State. The program should also be ex- panded to concentrate on children with good habi- litative potential and particularly to those suffering solely from visual disorders who presently do not receive services through the agency. In the long run, it is hoped that restrictive categorical eligibility criteria can be eliminated so that all handicapped children will be eligible for services. Tables provide background to expenditures by service, persons served by service, expenditures by method of serv- ice, number of persons served by method of serv- ice delivery, and expenditures by sources of fund- ing for fiscal years 1976 through 1980.

The provision of human services to meet the needs of residents in Lynn, Massachusetts, is ad- dressed. Four criteria are noted as the basis of human service identification: formal organization, socially funded and accountable sponsorship, re- sponsiveness to basic needs, and responsiveness 402 ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT to immediate needs. What brings people to human services are limitations in their informal family and community support system and incomes inad- equate to pay for needed professional services, because of employment problems or the high cost of services. Human services are essentially pro- vided by private nonprofit agencies and by local, State, and Federal levels of government. Trends toward deinstitutionalization, administrative decen- tralization, and citizen participation in planning and service delivery are reported. A list of 74 agencies providing significant human services to residents in Lynn as of 1976 was obtained. Eighty interviews were conducted with 63 agencies. In an additional eight cases, data were collected by telephone and in three other instances forms were filled out by agency staff without an interview. Data obtained from these agencies and on public assistance to Lynn residents in 1976 are tabulated. A loose net- work of human service subsystems exists in Lynn, each organized around the following types of basic immediate needs: emergency, poverty, housing, health, mental health, mental retardation, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, law - related, vocational, educational / cultural / recreation, family and chil- dren, elderly, and school and adolescent services. The findings of a street corner survey of 65 Lynn residents are presented. A major conclusion of the overall study is that systemic needs relating to service administration should be given priority over direct service needs. Recommendations to im- prove human service delivery in the city of Lynn are offered. Appendices contain a bibliography, the survey instruments used, a summary of agency and resident perceived needs, and a description of a neighborhood resource center.

Under the auspices of the systematic needs as- sessment project, interviews were conducted with clients from all major program areas of the Depart- ment of Health and Rehabilitative Services (DHRS) in Florida. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate 57 exclusive problem areas. For each problem area, respondents were asked if they had experienced that problem and whether services, if received, contributed to the satisfactory resolution of the problem. Unmet needs were recorded in a designated space on the questionnaire. Clients in Florida's 1 1 districts were sampled, based on eight program areas within the DHRS: aging and adult services, children's medical services, health serv- ices, mental health services, retardation services, social and economic services, vocational rehabili- tation services, and youth services. Both manual and automated techniques were employed in data analysis. The results of the needs assessment showed that DHRS clients are a group of people with many and varied problems. The percentage having unmet needs indicated they could be served to a fuller extent. Supporting data are tabu- lated.
