bytherelatedusers,inthiscase,ofports.Inthisthesis,the related interest relies in the environmental component of externality costs, which includes the derived costs of

recognized to obtain external costs from a bottom‐up approach. Thus, the use of a top‐down approachissuggestedandwidelyacceptedwhenbottom‐upstudiescannotbeperformedorarenot available. Indeed,as wepresentin Section3,literatureon harbourexternal costsdueto vessel emissionsisexclusivelybasedontheuseofcostfactorsandaggregatedeconomicvariables(top‐ downapproach). 31  toestimates,ithasbeenwidelyacceptedtofollowatop‐downapproachanduse per‐unitcostfactorsobtainedmostlyfrommajorEuropeanstudies(BeTa,CAFE, NEEDS).  Chapter2concludesthatemissioninventoriesandestimatedcosts from the availableharbourstudiesaresignificantlydifferentandcomplicatedtocompare

shipmovementsbutprovideanoveralldescriptionofactivity‐based(bottom‐up) methodology to estimate emissions. Moreover, our review has shown that the representativeapproachusedtoestimateemissionsatport(asapreviousstepto estimateexternalcosts),isabottom‐upapproachbasedonportcalls.Duetothe refinedaccuracyofobtainedresults,weencouragetheuseofa full bottom‐up approachandfrequentlyupdatedvesseltracks,avoidinginthiswaytheneedof usingaveragevalues(i.e.distanceandspeed).Finallyandregardingtheestimation ofexternalcosts,everystudyfollowedatop‐downapproach.Thisisattributedto costlyandcomplexrequirementstoobtainexternalcostsfroma bottom‐up approach. Moreover, the lack of dispersion modelling practices not widely undertakeninshippingcomplicatesthismethodologicalscenario.Thus,enabling thewideacceptanceofatop‐downapproachinexternalcostestimationsbasedon countryorregioncostfactors.  Basedontheabove,Chapter2alsosuggestsmethodologicalimprovementsandthe possible achievement of refined estimations (of vessel emissions and derived

specificallybecauseitistheonlyavailablereportsofar,whichpresentscostfactors dedicatedtoseaports.  Sinceitissuggestedthatinordertoenabletheinternalizationandimprovementof thepublicwelfare,researchonvesselemissionsshouldalsoaddressthevaluation of economic costs derived from vessel emissions shipping, Chapter3titled “Environmentalcostsandeco‐efficiencyfromvesselemissionsinLasPalmasPort” extendsthevesselemissionresearchinChapter1totheestimationofexternalcosts andtheeco‐efficiencyperformanceofLasPalmasPort.Firstly,itobtainsexternality costsofvesselemissionsfromdisaggregatedvariablesasindividualvesseltracks andtechnicaldetails.Thisapproacheliminatesthedominantuncertaintiesreported by previous vessel emission inventories (based on port calls) used to estimate externality costs and fills the gap of methodology improvement,necessaryto achieve more accurate results. Secondly, and in terms of externality costs, this harbourstudypresentstheavailablelowerandupperthresholdsoftop‐down estimatedcostsavailableinBeTa,CAFEandNEEDS.  Additionally,inthisChapterderivedeco‐efficiencyparametersareobtained.Eco‐ efficiency indicators are considered as a valuable tool to promote sustainable development.Itsuseisbasedontheconceptofcreatingmoregoodsandservicesby reducingtherelatedenvironmentalimpact.Generallyspeaking,eco‐efficiency indicatorsareusedtomeasureandmanagegreengrowthbycomparing environmental/economic performance among different economic sectors, by identifying policy areas for improvement in achieving economicbenefit and, by trackingeco‐efficiencytrendsovertime(UNESCAP,2009).  Atpresent,inportsandtowardsairemissions,itscommonaimis to create institutionalmechanismstoabateairpollutionandclimatechange,amongothers, byinitiatingstudies,strategiesandactionsthatmonitorandimproveairquality.To promotetheprimaryneedofsustainabledevelopment,ports(likemanycompanies), starttoexploremanagementphasesthatenabletheintegrationofenvironmental

Eco‐efficiency,asaperformanceindicator,providesportsystemswithinformation ofvaluetoimprovetheircompetitivepositionwhenundertakingtheiractivitywith business‐oriented criteria (Coto‐Millán et al. 2010). Indeed, the financial performanceofportsiskeytobecominganimportantcentreofbusinessbutnot enoughtoguaranteetheirsustainability.Toensurethis,environmentalandsocial performance must be addressed among others, by collecting information on environmentalimpactsandperformancetoreflectitsoverallstatus(Coto‐Millánet al. 2010). For the latter reason, in this chapter, eco‐efficiency parameters are obtained(environmental/productionperformanceofvesselemissions)ingeneral shippingandalso(asaliteraturenovelty)pershippingsub‐sector(container,cruise, tankers, among others). These eco‐efficiency parameters are suggested, as an indicatorofenvironmentalandeconomicperformancetobeconsideredforpolicy use in port‐cities. Summarizing, results respond to the research question of the economicimpactandenvironmental/productionperformanceofvesselemissions inLasPalmasPort,describingthroughthecasestudy,theutility of these

exhaustemissionsinports  Currentregulationseekstoreduceemissionsfromshipsthroughtheintroduction of minimum fuel quality standards and the implementation of newabatement technologies.TheInternationalMaritimeOrganization(IMO)hasaddressedship pollutionundertheMARPOLconvention.Theregulationofairpollutionbyships was defined in MARPOL Annex VI, first adopted in 1997 and enforced in 2005 includingaprogressivereductionofSOxandNOxandindirectlyParticulateMatter 39  (PM)inEmissionControlAreas(ECA).MARPOLAnnexVIistheonlyglobalregime thatclearlyaddressesthecontrolofairemissionsfromships.  The European Union (EU) has also expressed its concerns about the impact of transportonairqualitythroughtheStrategyforSustainableDevelopment publishedonitsWhitePaperonTransportPolicy(Gemeinschaften,2001),leading totheestablishmentofstringentsulphurregulationformarinefuelsthrough directives:2012/33/EU,2005/33and1999/32.Accordingtothese,allpassenger shipsoperatingonscheduledservicestoorfromanyEUportshouldnotexceed 1.5%sulphurlimitandallvesselscallingatanEUportshoulduselowsulphurfuel (lessthan0.1%)orashore‐sideelectricityfacilityduringportstayslongerthantwo hours.Inaddition,withtheframeworkofIMOregulations,MARPOLAnnexVIsetsa maximum0.1%sulphurforallshipoperationsinECAsfrom2015,whichwith regard to European waters are currently limited to the Baltic Sea, the English ChannelandtheNorthSea.ItshouldbealsonotedthattheexpressedEUwillingness tounilaterallywidentheenforcementofsulphurrestrictionstoallEuropeansea facescomplianceconstraintsinrelationtotheUnitedNationsConventiononthe LawoftheSea1982(UNCLOS)towhichtheEUissignatory.Thereiscurrentlyno legalbasisfortheEUtoexerciseextra‐territorialjurisdictionandthisislikelytogive non‐EUstatesandindustrialbodiesgroundsforchallengingemissionsreduction measuresadoptedbytheEUformaritimetransport(Miolaetal.,2010).  As ports constitute the nodes of maritime transport where all shipping routes ultimatelyconverge,theyareparticularlyexposedtotheburdenofshipexhaust emissions.Therefore,inresponsetothisproblemandbesidestheprovisionsofthe IMO and EU framework, they have been collectively or individually active in adoptingvoluntarymeasures,whichaimatimprovingtheairqualityandachieving emission reductions of greenhouse gases (CO2). These measures eithertake the formofofferingeconomicincentives(i.e.environmentallydifferentiatedportdues) ortheundertakingofinfrastructuralinvestments,whichencourageshipoperators to make use of environment friendly services (i.e. shore‐side electricity, LNG bunkering,automatedmooringsystems,andothers).Forfurtherinformationon 46  accuratemodellingofenginepowerusageduringhotellingandmanoeuvring operationsinharbourareasrequiresafrequentupdateofdata(severaltimesper minute)asthespeedofvesselsmaychangeconstantly.Temporalgapsandalow frequency of messages may be the cause of significant inaccuracies. Also, uncertaintiesrelatedtotheauxiliaryenginepowerusageonboardvesselscouldbe significant. Commercial databases may offer an incomplete representation of installed auxiliary engine power, which must be augmented with data from classificationsocieties,fleetownersorenginemanufacturers.Thisinformationis often unavailable and must be estimated based on existing knowledge, like extensive vessel boarding programs (Starcrest, 2011). In contrast to the main engine power predictions, there is no accurate, generally

shippinghaveincreasinglyraisedconcern.Ithasbeenrecognizedthatoperative vessels do not only contribute to negative effects on a global scale ‐rising temperatures in the climate system‐ but also to hazardous consequences experienced in local communities ‐detriment of health, crops and built environment‐(CullinaneandCullinane,2013).Indeed,managementtoolsatport arebeenincreasinglyaddressedtoenforceorencouragegreendevelopment(Lam andNotteboom,2014)andtheabatementofemissions.  Negativeimpactsderivedfromairpollution30canbequantifiedandmonetisedas externalcosts.Nevertheless,itsestimationisaninevitablesourceofuncertainty, mostlyconditionedbymethodologicaluncertaintiesandinformation gaps on availableknowledge.Indeed,thisismainlyduetothecomplexrelationbetween factorsinvolvedinairqualityvaluationandderivedcostssuchas,theoveralllevels of pollution, the geographical location and height of emission sources, local meteorological conditions, the chemical reaction and dispersionofatmospheric hazardoussubstances;andthephysicalharmthatthismightcausetohumanhealth, cropsandurbaninfrastructure.  

reactorinteract. 68  Indespiteoflimitations,itispossibletoestimatetheexternalcostsofmarket‐based (cropslossandmaterialdamages)ornon‐market‐based(humanhealth)negative impactsbyapplyingstatisticalvaluationtechniques(Miolaetal.,2009).Namely, marketpricesareusedtoestimatetheyieldlossofproductsinagricultureand materialdamageswhilehumanhealthisaddressedwithawillingness‐to‐pay(WTP), toaccept(WTA)ortobecompensated(WTC)fortheexternalityinquestion(i.e. TabianddelSaz,2014).  Greenhousegasesremainasadifferentchallengesincetheserelatetoalongterm and risk patterns that are hard to anticipate. Therefore it is difficult to make a detailedassessmentontherelateddamagecostsofindividualcountries(Maibach etal.,2008).Alternatively,andalthoughtheserelyonanemissionreductiontarget orascopeofreduction(JiangandKronbak,2012),anapproachtoavoidancecosts isutilizedandconsideredadequate(Essenetal.,2007;Leeetal.,2010;Bickeletal., 2006).  Detrimentsonhumanhealthareconsideredasthemostimportanteffectinterms ofquantifiablecosts(mortalityandmorbidity).Foritsassessment,eithertheValue ofStatisticalLife(VSL)ortheValueoftheLife‐Year(VOLY)canbetakeninto consideration.Nevertheless,itisdifficulttoaccounttheexposuretoairpollutionas amaincauseofdeath.Forthis,theuseoftheVOLYandthereduction of life expectancyintermsofYearsofLifeLost(YOLL)arewidelypreferredinliterature (i.e. ExternE and CAFE, see Section 2.1). Moreover, two main studies31address mortalityderivedfromairpollutionintheUKandinEuropealthough theyare criticizedduetodetrimentaleffectscovered32.  Top‐downandbottom‐upapproachesarewidelyrecognizedinavarietyofresearch subjects over literature (Sabatier, 1986). These include the quantification of air

32Itisarguedinliteraturethatwhilethevaluationofdetrimentaleffectsinadultsiscoveredby

capturestransportationtechnologyinanaggregated(top‐down)ordisaggregated form (bottom‐up) reflecting differences in results due to complex interplays betweenpurpose,structureanddatainput.Inbothemissionand external cost estimation,top‐downapproachesuseaggregatedeconomicvariableswhilebottom‐ upapproachesconsiderrefinedanddisaggregatedinformation,mostlybasedon technicalperformance.  Theapplicationofapproachesvariesaccordingtothesubjectofstudy.Foremission estimation,atop‐downapproachthatisbasedonfuelsalesisusedwhenrefined trafficinformationisnotavailable.Ontheotherhand,abottom‐upapproachbased on traffic information (obtained from vessel tracks or port calls) is used when available,duetotheaccuracyofinputparameterssuchasshiptype,location,size andtechnicalparticulars.Finally,afullbottom‐upcategoryisdescribedbyMiolaet al., (2010), as the use of a bottom‐up approach for both, the quantification of emissionsandthegeographicalcharacterizationofresults.  Regarding the geographical characterization of emissions, the level of detail achievedisalsodependentontheapproachfollowed(bottom‐upandtop‐down). Thus,withabottom‐upapproach,individualinformationofvesselsanditsposition areconsideredwhilewithatop‐downapproachvaluationisbasedwithout,orwith partial information on the position of vessels (i.e. the geographical activity of shippingisestimatedbasedonasingleshippingrouteoraparticulargeographic activitycell,nomatterwhichvesselcarriesouttheactivity).  InthecaseofexternalcostsandaccordingtoJiangandKronbak (2012), its estimationcanbeclassifiedinthreecategories.Thefirstonerelatestoanexternal costcomparisonbetweentransportmodes,thesecondtocost‐benefitanalysison emissionreductiontechnologiesandthethirdonetocasestudiesthatexcludethe latertwo.Forthethreetypesofcasestudies,abottom‐upapproachisalsopreferred asitenablesarefinedassessmentbasedondetailedinformation,differentiation possibilitiesandanimprovedprecisioninderivedresults(marginalexternalcosts). Nevertheless, costly and complex requirements are also recognized to obtain 70  externalcostsfromabottom‐upapproach.Thus,theuseofatop‐downapproachis suggestedandwidelyacceptedwhenbottom‐upstudiescannotbeperformedor arenotavailable33.Indeed,aswepresentinSection3,literatureonharbourexternal costsduetovesselemissionsisexclusivelybasedontheuseofcostfactorsand aggregatedeconomicvariables(top‐downapproach).  Tosummarize,abottom‐upandatop‐downapproachmaybeusedfor the estimationofexternalcosts.Bothprovideadvantagesandlimitations(Miolaetal., 2009).Ononehand,abottom‐upapproachfollowsacausalchainofrelationsthat startwiththeemissionofpollutantstofinalizewithadetailedestimationofthe marginalexternalcostscausedbyeachunitofpollutant.Ontheother,atop‐down approach(i.e.Miolaetal.,2010;Tzannatos2010a;BerechmanandTseng,2012) estimates the external costs by using cost factors from bottom‐upstudies(per

Asaninitialsteptomethodologicalimprovementspecifictovesselemissionsatport andwiththeaimofimprovingair‐qualityinportcities,thepresentstudyrendersa review on the

Inthecaseofexternalcostsabottom‐upapproachisalsopreferredasitenablesa refinedassessmentbasedondetailedinformation,differentiationpossibilitiesand animprovedprecisioninderivedresults(marginalexternalcosts).Nevertheless, costlyandcomplexrequirementsarealsorecognizedtoobtainexternalcostsfrom a bottom‐up approach. Thus, the use of a top‐down approach is suggested and widelyacceptedwhenbottom‐upstudiescannotbeperformedorarenotavailable.  TheIPAisconsideredasthemostcomprehensivebottom‐upmethodologyandthe bestpracticeforcalculatingsite‐specificexternalcostsderivedfromairemissions. Ithasbeenwidelyadopted,amongothers,overmajorEuropeanstudies(CAFE,BeTa, NEEDS and HEATCO).Due to the complexity and costly resources required to generatebottom‐upstudiesonshippingandports,ithasbeenwidelyacceptedto estimatethesebasedonatop‐downapproachandper‐unitcostfactorsobtained frommajorEuropeanreports(BeTa,CAFE,NEEDS).TheExternEresourceshave beenalsotransferredintoweb‐basedtools,althoughnoneofthemyetseemstohave been designed for shipping.This could be due among others, to the lack of atmosphericdispersionmodellingpracticesnotwidelyundertakeninshipping.  Nowadays,literatureregardingthevaluationofexternalcostsfrom vessel emissionsatportisinitsearlysteps,asiseasilydeductedbythefactthatthefirst paper appeared in 2009. However, there are enough papers to extract some interestingconclusions,whichcouldbeusefultoimprovefuturestudies.Fromthose identified,all followed a top‐down approach based on national or regional cost factorspresentedinbottom‐upstudieswithapredominantreferencetoBeTaand CAFE.  Therepresentativeapproachusedtoestimateemissionsatport,isabottom‐up approacheitherbasedonportcallsandanapproximationtovesseloperativeatport oronvesseltracks.Inregionalstudies,bottom‐upandtop‐downapproacheshave beenused(Castellsetal.,2014;Tzannatos,2010b).Alladdressgasesandparticles relatedtonegativeeffectsincoastalcommunitiesbutonlyfourfromtheninestudies found,estimateCO2(Miola.,2009;Tzannatos,2010b;BerechmanandTseng.,2012 andTichavskaandTovar,2015). 86   Whenestimatingexternalcosts,everystudyfollowedatop‐downapproachbased oncostfactorsfromBeTa(BerechmanandTseng,2012);CAFE(Miola,2009);BeTa andCAFE(McArthurandOsland,2013;Castellsetal.,2014);BETAandHEATCO (Tzannatos,2010ab)NEEDSandCAFE(MaragkogiannaniandPapaefthimiou,2015) or,BeTaCAFEandNEEDS(TichavskaandTovar,2015).Inadditiontothis,Song (2014)obtainedcosttotalsfromweightedaveragecostfactorsthroughaseriesof expertjudgement/survey.  Summarizing,weconcludethatresultsforemissioninventoriesandestimatedcosts are significantly different and complicated to compare due to methodological variations and assumptions. For this reason, it is paramount to review these differences in order to highlight the best approach to follow or identify the drawbackwhenasecondbestalternativeneedstobeapplied.Fromthereview,we concludethatprecisiondifferencesontrafficinformationarenoteworthy.Available literaturedoesnotalwaysspecifyportcallsastheirsourceoftrafficinformationnor describethelevelofdetailaccountedfromshipmovementsbutprovideanoverall description of activity‐based (bottom‐up) methodology to estimate emissions. Moreover,ourreviewhasshownthattherepresentativeapproachusedtoestimate emissionsatport(asaprevioussteptoestimateexternalcosts),isabottom‐up approach,butweonlyfoundonestudythatisbasedonafrequentupdateofvessel tracks,avoidinginthiswaytheneedofusingaveragevalues(i.e.distanceandspeed). Moreover,thelatterstudyisalsotheonlyonewhichfollowsabottom‐upapproach forthegeographicalcharacterizationofemissions(fullbottom‐upapproach),Due totherefinedaccuracyofobtainedresults,weencouragetheuse of this latter approach.  Finally and regarding the estimation of external costs, the literature reviewhasalsoshownthateverystudyfollowedatop‐downapproach. This is probablyduetocostlyandcomplexrequirementstoobtainexternalcostsfroma bottom‐up approach. Moreover, the lack of dispersion modelling practices not widelyundertakeninshippingcomplicatesthismethodologicalscenario. Thus, enablingthewideacceptanceofatop‐downapproachinestimations.  87  Basedontheabove,methodologicalimprovementsandthepossibleachievementof refinedestimations(ofvesselemissionsandderivedexternalcosts)inportsand shipping are strongly suggested as these may benefit the quality of input informationneededto feedpolicymeasureswhich contributeto internalize the externalcostestimated.Finally,anintegratedassessment(IPA)specifictovessel emissionshasnotbeenyetaddressedintheavailablestudiesandthiscouldbe addressedinfutureresearchalthoughfornow,theobtainedresultsinBeTaprovide a meaningful insight to the magnitude of costs associated to vessel emission externalities,

onaveragecostsderivedperpollutantbutitwillnotallowfurtherdifferentiation (i.e.Tzannatosetal.,2010b;Castellsetal.,2014).  Thefirstcomprehensiveattempttodevelopabottom‐upapproachrelatedtoair emissionswasintegratedintheExternalCostsofEnergy(ExternE)projectseries (1990‐2005) under the ExternE DG Research of the European Commission (European Commission, 1999). Over the ExternE, a bottom‐up methodology referredasImpactPathwayApproach(IPA)wasconceived,followingapathway

TheIPAisconsideredasthemostelaboratedandbestpracticemethodologyfor calculatingsite‐specificexternalcostsderivedfromairemissions.Ithasbeenwidely

Figure2–ImpactPathwayApproachtoairpollution  Source:adaptedfromtheExternE(Bickeletal.,2005).   Externalcostsderivedfromshippingareexclusivelyaddressedinreportsfromthe BeTa,theCAFEandtheNEEDSprojects.InBeTa,costfactors(ton/euro)perseaarea 97  andperEUcountry(specifictoseaports)areprovided.InCAFE,shippingresultsare also included but as a sensitivity case and without presenting ton/euro figures. Finally,inNEEDS,costfactorsperseaareasandcountry(althoughnotspecificto seaports) are presented. Although it is widely known that the BeTa provides a straightforwardprocessforestimatingexternalcosts(byputtingtogetherurban and rural externalities); it has been also stated that its rural cost figures underestimaterealcosts.SpecificallyoncetheruralcostfactorsundertheCAFE programmehadbeenpublished(seeCastellsetal.2014).Forthisreason,harbour studiesthatmaintaintheestimationapproachofBeTa(addurbanandruralcosts) buttakingupdatedruralcostsfromCAFEcanbealsoseeninliterature(Castellset al. 2014 and the present

inthe referredstudies(BeTa,CAFE, HEATCOandNEEDS).Nevertheless,itiswidelyconsideredthattheobtainedresults inBeTaprovideaninsighttothemagnitudeofassociatedexternalitiesfromvessel emissionsinport(Miolaetal,2010;Tzannatos,2010ab).Inthisrespect,itshould benotedthatexternalitycostsfromhazardouseffectsinalocalcontext(NOx,SOx, PM,VOCandCO)areaddresseddifferentlythantheclimatechangecosts(CO2).The

road transport). While HEATCO refers to road transport with the release of emissions in the street canyon, BeTa accounts for the release of air pollutants from the high stacks of ships. Thus, it is considered by some authors (Tzannatos, 2010ab) that cost factors from BeTa are more appropriate for the estimation of the examined externalities, since they are case specific to the activity of ships within the port. Others suggest that more recent and updated cost factors better represent reality and thus, should be addressed (Castells et al. 2014; Maragkogiannani and Papaefthimiou, 2015). 98  approach(andper‐unitcostfactors)derivedfrommajorEuropeanreports(BeTa, CAFE, NEEDS) and recent literature have been widely accepted. Indeed, most

researchwasfoundonthevaluationofexternalcostsfromshipping emissions. Fromthoseidentified,allfollowedatop‐downapproachbasedon national or regionalcostfactorspresentedinbottom‐upstudiesasBeTa,CAFE,NEEDSand HEATCO. Table 1 presents a summary of available studies on external costs estimatedatport.  Top‐downandbottom‐upapproachesarewidelyrecognizedinavarietyofresearch subjects over literature (Sabatier, 1986). As Table 1 reflects, these include air emissions and its

disaggregatedform(bottom‐up)reflectingdifferencesinresultsduetocomplex interplays between purpose, structure and data input. In both, emission and externalcostestimation,top‐downapproachesareperformedbyusingaggregated economic variableswhereas bottom‐up approaches consider refined and

subjectofstudy.Foremissionestimation,atop‐downapproach(basedonfuelsales) is used when refined traffic information is not available. On theotherhand,a bottom‐upapproachbasedontrafficinformation(obtainedfromvesseltracksor portcalls)issuggestedbyrecentliteratureduetotheaccuracyofinputparameters

isdescribedastheuseofabottom‐upapproachforboth,thequantification of emissionsandthegeographicalcharacterization52ofresults(Miolaetal.,2010).  Inthecaseofexternalcostestimation,abottom‐upapproachisalsopreferredasit enables a refined assessment based on detailed information, differentiation possibilitiesandanimprovedprecisioninderivedresults(marginalexternalcosts). Nevertheless, costly and complex requirements are also recognized to obtain externalcostsfromabottom‐upapproach.Thus,theuseofatop‐downapproachis suggestedandwidelyacceptedwhenbottom‐upstudiescannotbeperformedor

52Regardingthegeographicalcharacterizationofemissionsandthelevelofdetailachieved,thisis also dependent on the approach followed (bottom‐up and

Tosummarize,thecontributionofthispapertotheavailableliteraturerelatestothe following.Firstly,itobtainsexternalitycostsofvesselemissionsfromdisaggregated variablesasindividualvesseltracksandtechnicaldetails.Thisapproacheliminates thedominantuncertaintiesreportedbypreviousvesselemissioninventoriesatport

of vessel emissions in Las Palmas Port, describingthroughthecasestudy,theutilityofthesemeasurementsassupport toolstoPortAuthoritiesandlocalgovernments. 
