Abstract

This study evaluated the environmental departments of some municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, regarding their structure and licensing and enforcement processes. Information was collected through online questionnaires sent to municipalities. The questionnaires addressed the staff, the training of the technical staff and the work structure of the environmental departments in the municipalities. Evaluations and classifications were conducted using the classification tree technique based on municipal data on the environmental licenses issued, and additionally the infraction notices issued as response variables. Thus, it was observed that human resources, effective civil servants and the work team composition are the variables that best explain the issuance behavior of the municipal environmental licenses, and in parts the infraction notices. The other variable that most satisfactorily explains the issuance of infraction notices in the municipalities is the use of their own website with environmental software in the environment departments.

巴西南大河州市政环境部门的许可和执法

这项研究评估了巴西南里奥格兰德州一些市政当局的环境部门的结构、许可证发放和执法程序。通过向市政府发送在线问卷收集信息。调查表涉及城市环境部门的工作人员、技术人员的培训和工作结构。根据已颁发的环境许可证的市政数据以及作为响应变量发布的违规通知，使用分类树技术进行了评估和分类。因此，有人观察到，人力资源、有效的公务员和工作团队组成是最能解释市政环境许可证发放行为的变量，部分原因是违规通知。另一个最能令人满意地解释市政当局发布违规通知的变量是，环境部门使用自己的网站和环境软件。
