'J5A//'C-V9/a U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Technical Information Service A SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY TO ASSIST IN CITY PLANNING, EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL SERVICES AND OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN IN CITY GOVERNMENT ,-v'f- Prepared for: / 1977 CONGRESS OF CITIES AND EXPOSITION FORWARD In recent months there has been a real surge of interest in shaping federal programs to meet the needs of state and local governments. It was a campaign promise of President Carter and steps to follow through were apparent even before the Inauguration. Secretary Juanita Kreps of the Department of Commerce and a number of other cabinet-level appointees met with committees of the U.S. Conference of Mayors just before the Inauguration and the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties in subsequent months. The message has been repeated: "We're listening" and "We care." The National Technical Information Service, a unit of the Department of Commerce, has designed a system to meet the practical problem-solving needs of local governments as infor- mation users as well as information sources. NTIS' approach has been to differentiate between hard core problem-solving technology and general research and to work toward the estab- lishment of an information exchange center that would acquire pertinent information generated outside state and local govern- ments. Only the NTIS system includes Federal, international and other non-proprietary information carefully selected for direct applicability in local government problem-solving situations where timeliness and practicability are vital. This bibliography was prepared for the 1977 Congress of Cities and Exposition. It lists unique information products specially selected from over one million items. The reports include such broad subjects of interest as social concerns, energy conser- vation, urban administration and planning, financial management, land use, transportation systems, public administration and government and solid waste pollution and control. All reports are available in paper copy or microfiche. Problem-solving computer software for state, county and city governments is also listed. Topics include Municipal Information Systems, City Games, Forecasting Municipal Water Requirements, and Health Care Delivery Concepts. They are all available for sale or lease. Other information products and services are available and described in the NTIS Information Services Catalog. It is free u to you.

In both philosophical and practical terms, questions of federalism and the states have emerged as major issues in American public debate. A group of distinguished participants, drawn from academia, government, and other spheres, was asked in 197 5 to consider these and other questions: Is the federal relationship established by the Constitution the model for state-local relations. Historically, are states unions or federal systems, and what is the implication of this for the American federal system. What are the causes and consequences of state variations in the pattern of state-local relations. How have states used federal legislation, passthrough programs, and fiscal incentives to govern their localities. What is and what should be the locus of subnational initiative in a federal system. Is 'home rule' essentially regressive in the face of modern metropolitan society. Discussions of these and related questions are presented in this report.

This report is an attempt to provide the city of Allentown with a sampling methodology for telephone surveying that would define the parameters of the optimum samples for given issues. The report discusses work done on establishing a sequential sampling model using a logistic distribution function. After initial results are recorded, the model is used to select the next sample and the sample is taken by applying the underlying probability to it to determine which response is observed. This process is repeated as often as the user specifies to get his final estimate. Order Number: PB-263 128/1ST NTIS Prices: PC $5.25/MF $3.00 THE URBAN IMPACT OF FEDERAL POLICIES: THEIR DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS ON THE LOCAL PUBLIC SECTOR Rand Corp, Santa Monica, California There is growing recognition by researchers and practitioners alike that federal urban policy must be defined much more broadly than it has been in the past. The federal influence on cities involves much more than a handful of explicitly urban programs— more even than the whole array of federal programs that channel funds to urban jurisdictions and their citizens. Spokesmen for the urban public interest groups now refer to the 'implicit' or 'hidden' urban policy of the federal government. These terms are meant to encompass not only expenditure programs, but a spectrum of federal actions ranging from tax policy to macroeconomic policy to regulation of business to enforcement of the civil rights laws. But although this broadened view of federal urban policy has become established in rhetoric, it has not yet been assimilated into policymaking, policy analysis, or policy-proposing processes.

Order Number: PB-260 632/5ST NTIS Prices: PC $6.00/MF $3.00 - 4 - MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOLID WASTE COLLECTION Durham Urban Observatory, N.C. This report describes an overall conceptual framework for the evaluation of solid waste collection efforts. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the effectiveness of these efforts. This is defined to be composed of a user satisfaction component and a community effects component. The former is measured by a citizens 1 questionnaire, while the latter is measured by visual inspection of street cleanliness and special litter and vacant lot problems. The combination of these two variables determine the level of service in a given neighborhood. This measure can be a useful tool for decision-making with respect to improving existing service and allocating further resources towards that end. The study reported herein describes the results obtained in five selected Durham, N.C. neighborhoods, and suggests that the City of Durham undertake a solid waste collection evaluation program similar to the one described herein. Order Number: PB-262 004/5ST NTIS Prices: PC $5.25/MF $3.00 FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT -IMPACTED MUNICIPALITIES Wendell Associates, McLean, Va. This study identifies Federal assistance programs which do or could provide aid for small communities impacted by major energy developments. The objectives have been to identify those Federal programs which presently offer the types of aid most required by small communities facing sudden and rapid growth, especially those designed to build their planning and administrative capacity or infrastructure. It is also intended to analyze other programs of assistance to local governments to show why they are not presently suitable for use by these communities, and to indicate what kinds of changes would be necessary to make them useful to such communities. Order Number: PB-265 804/5ST NTIS Prices: PC $6.50/MF $3.00 TRANSFERRING ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY TO LOCAL LEADERS Oklahoma State Univ. , Stillwater This report covers the first year of a three-year project to develop and evaluate a system for delivering environmental research results to local governmental officials and other - 5 - community leaders. The system will use the Cooperative Extension Service as a transfer vehicle. Two problems were selected and studied this first year. One dealt with the increasing problem of contaminants in public drinking water supplies and regulations established to correct this threat to public health. The second dealt with the 'pros and cons' of land application of municipal wastewater as a treatment tech- nique for many communities, especially small rural communities. The project staff developed and tested a slide-tape package dealing with the first problem for presentation in each of the 77 counties. Also developed was the second educational package to help cities and towns comply with the water pollution control requirements prescribed by Public Law 92-500. It encourages consideration of land application of municipal wastewaters as a means of disposal and treatment.

A study of the impact of community service agencies on the residents of the neighborhoods in which the agencies are located is documented. Five hypotheses are explored: (1) agency neighborhood residents perceive lower property values resulting from the agency's presence than do residents of neighborhoods with no agencies; (2) agency neighborhood residents' attitudes about agencies are different from attitudes among other residents; (3) attitudes toward agencies are more favorable among residents living near local, neigh- borhood clientele agencies than among residents living near nonlocal, non-neighborhood clientele agencies more often perceive the agencies as being within the boundaries of their neighborhoods than do residents living near nonlocal, non- neighborhood clientele agencies; and (5) agency neighborhood residents express more favorable attitudes toward such agencies than do other respondents. Data were gathered by mailed questionnaire from three samples: 3 08 households in three Wichita, Kansas, neighborhoods containing local, neighborhood clientele agencies (73 responses) ; 276 households in three neighborhoods containing nonlocal, non-neighborhood clientele agencies (98 responses) ; and a control sample of 97 households (352 responses) . Null hypotheses associated with each of the test hypotheses could not be rejected. However, investigation of two theoretical interrogatories showed that respondents living near agencies view the agencies favorably and identify the agencies primarily in terms of the services they provide. Supporting data, a copy of the survey instrument, and a bibli- ography are provided.

THE DESIGN OF PLANNING NETWORKS Texas Univ. at Austin, Center for Social Work Research. Following a brief review of the historical background of human services planning in the United States, factors involved in the 1976 expansion of human services planning activities are described, and ways in which the vertical network of planning activities has emerged in Texas are examined. The discussion of the context of human services planning addresses the concept of new federalism, State plan requirements, community alter- natives, public awareness, and the rate of social change. The description of the emergence of human services planning networks notes organizational changes in both State single-purpose agencies and general-purpose governments. Key elements in the evolving networks are identified as the elaboration of technical staff components at all levels of governemnt and the development of a pattern of vertical interaction, particularly between local general-purpose governments and State single-purpose agencies. The emergence of elaborate vertical intergovernmental human services networks, as exemplified by trends in the State of Texas, is said to be the result of two sets of forces: moves by State single-purpose agencies to decentralize both program operations and management functions, and efforts by local general-purpose governments to combine their forces to achieve more effective representation in State-level decision-making. Issues relevant to community planning processes within the State - local network of human service programs are discussed, including development of an analytic framework for examining human service programs within a single community, and spec- ification of planning authority within the community. Order Number: SHR-00007 52 NTIS Prices: PC $5.25/MF $3.00 MINICOMPUTERS; AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO MUNICIPAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Boise Center for Urban Research, Idaho. This document presents the advantages and disadvantages of the use of minicomputers in management information systems. As a result of this research project, Boise City concluded that the minicomputer approach to managing data has very distinct and identifiable cost savings over traditional alternatives without sacrificing efficiency and effectiveness. Boise City's decision as a direct result of this research project was to acquire a minicomputer, accept the risk of the current state of minicomputer technology as minimal, and to take advantage of the cost savings. Order Number: PB-263 775/9ST NTIS Prices: PC $7.25/MF $3.00 - 9 - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STATE PLANNING American Inst, of Planners, Washington, D. C. The objective of this research project was an accurate assess- ment of the present patterns and problems of State and local economic development and planning activities. The American Institute of Planners (AIP) developed, circulated, and evaluated a survey questionnaire to elicit basic administrative information from all 5 states. This was followed by intensive interviews in four case-study states with varying economic and institu- tional situations (Arizona, Rhode Island, Georgia and Michigan). Written interviews from various states and the Economic Development Administration (EDA) were also received. Finally, this report — which summarizes data gathered through the questionnaire, case studies and other research — was circulated for review by interested parties in June 1976. The report is an assessment of the political, institutional, and procedural factors as they affect the development and staffing of state and comprehensive economic development planning.

C. , Urban Information Systems Inter-Agency Committee (USAC) Support Panel. The report is an assessment of the Urban Information Systems Inter-Agency Committee (USAC) Program by a USAC Support Panel established by the National Research Council. The Support Panel found widespread use by larger U.S. cities and counties of computers for routine processing operations. However, the potential of computer systems for improving local government management is not being exploited widely by local government. The Panel made a detailed study of cost-benefit relationship, transferability of experience between cities, interfaces between computer systems, and privacy-security implications. The Panel made a number of recommendations on the improved utilization of computer systems by local governments.

The report describes the mission, organization, programs, operating principles and priorities of an Information Systems Resource Center. The study was conducted by the Urban Infor- mation Systems Inter-Agency Committee (SAC) Support Panel under the National Research Council. The Support Panel recommended the establishment of a non-profit information systems resource center. The Center would provide local governments with reliable advice on the potential of information systems and keep them informed on public policy issues related to computer usage. The Federal Government would provide seed money to get the Center started, but local government organizations would guide its policies. Order Number: PB-264 643/8ST NTIS Prices: PC $4.00/MF $3.00 LOCAL GOVERNMENT, INFORMATION SYSTEMS, AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER. EVALUATING SOME COMMON ASSERTIONS ABOUT TRANSFER OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS California Univ. , Irvine, Public Policy Research Organization. The transfer of computer applications among and into city and county governments is examined through comparison of the benefits claimed for technology transfer with the actual experiences of local governments. Seven common assertions about technology transfer are considered: (1) transfer prevents each government from having to 'reinvent the wheel 1 ; (2) everyone benefits from transfer; (3) computer applications can be trans- ferred and adapted for a small fraction of the time and money needed to develop applications inhouse; (4) transfer makes needed computer applications available at low costs to all local governments seeking an advanced state of electronic data processing development; (6) technical factors, such as lack of standardized computer hardware and programming languages, are major barriers to technology transfer among local governments; and (7) more transfer would occur if there were a national clearinghouse and resource center to make information and computer applications available to local governments. The claims about transfer are neither supported nor discredited. Rather, perspectives are offered on why more transfers do not occur and, - 11 - in some cases, on why they should not occur. The general conclusion reached is that transfer is a logical idea and has substantial benefit, providing everything works correctly. However, the experiences of cities and counties indicate that frequently everything does not work correctly. Implications of the issues raised are discussed. Order Number: SHR-0001559 NTIS Prices: PC $5.25/MF $3.00 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION: THE CITY, THE CITIZENS, THE MEDIA Durham Urban Observatory, N.C. This report is an in depth descriptive analysis of the communications process between the city and citizens in Durham, North Carolina. The report consists of four phases. Phase one is an analysis of the Durham city of f icials--what and how they attempt to communicate with citizens. Phase two is an analysis of Durham citizens* attitudes on what is communicated to them by the city and the procedures they feel are most effective for informing them. Phase three is an analysis of the local media's role, procedures, and input into the communication of the city's actions and plans. The final phase is an analysis of the communication processes of 34 selected cities throughout the United States. This phase was done as a means of getting ideas from other cities and comparing Durham with other cities. These four analyses are examined and their implications for communication policy for Durham are summarized.
