Local Government, the local government are responsible for a number of different things which include the registration of births, deaths and marriages, cemeteries and crematoriums, education, emergency planning, environmental health, highways and traffic, housing, libraries, planning and development, public transport, and tax and council tax collections. The local government is formed of many different types of councils which each carry their own responsibilities, many of the responsibilities they perform overlap but they all focus on the services and facilities needed in local areas. The different councils are: county, district (part of a county and several district councils come under each county council), parish (a single village or part of a town), metropolitan district (part of a very large city), and unitary authorities (a city that is large enough to need its own local authority dealing with just that city). The county council is responsible for Education, Emergency Planning, Highways and Traffic, Libraries, Planning and Development, Public Transport, Refuse Disposal,

It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus network. A personal area network - PAN - is a computer network organized around an individual person. Personal area networks typically involve a mobile computer, a cell phone and/or a handheld computing device such as a PDA.
Nuclear regulatory commission regulates the nation’s civilian use of byproducts, sources and special nuclear material to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, to promote the common defense and security, and to protect the environment. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ensures that the prices the consumers pay for energy are reasonable and fair. Although it does not set energy prices, it oversees the electricity and pipeline transmission rates between states. Furthermore, it licenses hydroelectric plants not owned by the state. In addition, it also oversees matters regarding to the environment in relation to production of natural gas and hydroelectric energy are adhered to (Norman, Thisse Phlips, 2000).
Ideally, a need’s assessment is done in collaboration with local community-based organizations, advocacy groups and/or a university unit (Lanum, Sharma, and Suarez-Balcazar, 2000). The four step process is assessment planning, data collection, data analysis, and program action planning. (Escoffery, Miner, and Trowbridge, 2004). I will use the assessment planning process and refer to the steps to include my real world experience while addressing the questions posed in this assignment. In my reading of the material there are numerous steps identified and all are relevant, however in most countries where this type of service is needed, committees don’t have refreshments and during most of the steps are the committee.
Analysis Organization structure FTCA is a region-based matrix structure. A matrix structure is a type of departmentalization that overlays two organizational forms (i.e. functional & divisional) in order to leverage the benefits of both.

Therefore, the Municipal Government’s approaches to sustainability are only concentrated on these specific areas and all of the decisions made for these departments will only affect a single municipality. There are about 3,700 municipalities in Canada most of which are committed to establish environmental sustainability on a local level (Office of the Legislative Counsel, 2012). Many local governments are introducing plumbing-related bylaws for water efficiency and reducing the water consumption of residents and businesses, as well as regulations to improve wastewater management. There are several waste diversion programs that were undertaken by several municipalities. These programs include consumer goods recycling, forestry reuses, and etc (See APPENDIX V).
Figure 1: various levels of government involvement versus community involvement within co-management practices (Pomeroy & Berkes, 1997) Each of these different levels of government or community involvement in co-management practices has their place. In some cases where there is almost full government control, the local communities may only be given limited access as part of a co-management plan, due to the context of the study. For example, the following case studies have varying levels of government involvement and both of them are considered to be successful. (Pomeroy & Berkes, 1997) Case study: Malawi An example of co-management in action is that of Lake Chiuta in Malawi. The lake is a fairly small lake surrounded by 52 villages.
