“…However, even in advanced economies, governments often chronically underinvest in O&M and recapitalization, accumulating deferred maintenance and leading to a premature decline of asset condition and an increase in future repair and replacement costs (Giglio et al , 2018; National Research Council, 1990). The scale of this problem can be enormous.…”

Purpose There is shortage of global research on asset management (AM) by various central governments. This paper aims at reducing this gap. Design/methodology/approach This general review is based on literature, published government documents, agendas of specialized membership organizations (considered through the qualitative thematic analysis) and the authors’ experiences in advising governments on AM in 30 countries. The study focuses on three topics of recurrent interest among governments and AM experts: drivers of change and response trends; organizational models and attributes of good governance at public AM organizations. It also discusses whether the examined practices conform with New Public Management (NPM). Findings The paper identifies five key international drivers of change: austerity measures; an increased focus on performance management; changes in political and ideological agendas; technology and business operations changes; and the environmental sustainability agenda. It analyses response trends to these drivers, both positive and negative. Five dimensions of organizational settings that are important for AM are identified, demonstrating the great diversity of practices. The paper outlines governance elements specific to government AM and illustrates related challenges. It also shows that while current AM typically conforms with NPM, there are notable deviations, such as low corporatization and recentralization of AM. Research limitations/implications This paper is a broad review; in-depth study of specific aspects is left for further research. Originality/value The paper introduces new empirical knowledge about AM approaches at central governments into research discourse, with a broad thematic coverage not achieved before; contributes to the discussion of some hot underexplored topics; hypothesizes why current AM practices deviate from NPM doctrines; and provides unique insights for AM practitioners.

“…The assets of municipal governments vary and would include non-physical assets or financial assets as well as a basket of physical, tangible or 'immovable assets' in the form of property holdings, infrastructure and even of an array of assets of cultural, historic or environmental significance (Kaganova, 2010;Kaganova and Kopanyi, 2014). During the past decade the management of government assets has come into sharp focus both conceptually and in practice, most especially as a result of the 2008 global financial crisis which compelled local governments to re-examine and re-assess their performance in relation to a search for new revenue sources (Giglio et al, 2018;Kaganova and Telgarsky, 2018;Kaganova and Kaw, 2020). Arguably, the assets of municipal governments represent vitally important foundations for energising local economic development (Kaganova and Kopanyi, 2014) and broader-based place-based planning interventions (Rogerson, 2014;Duranton and Venables, 2019).…”

Municipal caravan parks in South Africa: geography, management and planning

Caravan parks are a largely overlooked theme in tourism scholarship. In South Africa, as in several other countries, local governments assumed an historical role in the establishment of caravan parks. Municipal caravan parks are assets which could be leveraged for tourism growth and local development. The planning and management of caravan parks in South Africa can be understood as an element of asset management by local governments. It is shown that across most of South Africa municipal ownership of caravan parks is of declining significance as compared to the dominance of privately owned parks. The coastal province of the Western Cape is the biggest focus for caravanning and for the location of all caravan parks, including for the largest cluster of municipal owned caravan parks in South Africa. Research interviews were conducted with local stakeholders concerning contemporary planning and management of caravan parks. The results reveal that most local municipalities currently are struggling to manage appropriately and optimally maximise for local development the operations of municipal caravan parks. Many municipalities are considering different options for privatisation through selling off or leasing parks to private sector investors.

“…An analysis of the research in sustainable urban development revealed that current studies usually focus on research of simple problems existent at lower hierarchical levels: selection of rational design solutions, selection of construction elements, systems and materials, the selection of contractors, etc. Research on buildings managed by public sector institutions mainly focuses on infrastructure management (Alam, et al, 2019;Bryson, et al, 2018;Giglio, Friar, & Crittenden, 2018), facility management (Gross & Źróbek, 2015), energy efficiency in buildings and modernization (Pardo-Bosch & Aguado, 2016), and asset management throughout the life cycle (Ruparathna, Hewage, & Sadiq, 2017). However, very few of major European cities are able to provide data on the amount and value of their public buildings (Yilema & Gianoli, 2018).…”

Today, state enterprises and municipalities are concerned about the non-effective use of public buildings. The optimization of their quantity, efficient management by ensuring rational use of resources and protecting the societal needs are complex tasks, therefore require the decisions, which based on the application of new knowledge. The article proposes a new knowledge-based management model, an original set of criteria for assessing the efficiency of public buildings use. The task of applying this original criteria system for assessing the efficiency of the use of cultural buildings of the exact municipality has been solved. With the help of the new model, municipalities will expand the possibilities for impartial decision-making and evaluate the efficiency of end-use of buildings with respect to social benefit criteria. The results are applicable to public sector organizations, especially for municipalities with particular problems associated with the management of a large number of public assets
