ESSAI D’EVALUATION DE LA PERFORMANCE DES POLITIQUES PUBLIQUES EN MATIERE D’URBANISME

Abstract

Housing is at the base of the constraints and concerns of citizens, and indirectly, is among the priorities of the state. The various public policies implemented recently in the field have certainly led to some tangible results, but it is a finding that requires a standardized evaluation, following an approach and methodology that will identify the limits and appreciate the benefits, so to possibly generalize them. This paper sets the main interest in clarifying a methodological approach to the evaluation of public policies in housing, an interest that will result in several distinct but complementary phases, the first of which will have the purpose of dismantling, through panel modeling, the preponderance of public sector in urban planning, a second phase which will have as its aim to draw up a wide range of methods of approaches to evaluate a public policy, a third phase which will highlights through an auto-regressive model an approach of evaluation of public housing policy performance. The results of our research show, on the one hand, the undeniable supremacy of the public sector in terms of urban action, compared to the private sector and community movements, on the other hand, our results of the performance evaluation in regard to the public policies report a mixed situation, described by the causality between public spending and the improvement of the housing supply qualified to be more expensive and inappropriate, and the decrease of the deficit in a quantitative order to the detriment of quality.
