urban planning.
INSTRUCTIONS
For this Case Study, you will first describe two forms of local governments in the U.S. (e.g., city,
towns, county, special governments) and their effect on planning. Consult ICMA for forms of
local government. From there, you will analyze how the two forms of local government you
selected use the planning process, and describe which comprehensive or incremental planning
technique was chosen? What were the outcomes? Finally, you will determine a biblical
viewpoint with the methodology chosen. Please use scriipture to support the position. Integrate
Biblical verses rather than at the end of the paper. Items to include are outlined as follows:
 Length of assignment is 2,000 – 2,500-words (8 – 10-pages)

This is a doctoral-level research assignment designed to test your ability to conduct effective
research, gain a nuanced understanding of complex concepts, synthesize the ideas reflected in
your research with those reflected in your required readings, and to evaluate and apply these
ideas to an issue of urban planning.
As with all doctoral-level assignments, you are expected to comport yourself with the highest
writing, research, and ethical standards. To do well on this assignment, you must conduct high-
quality research and offer a rich, well-supported analysis; mere opinion or conjecture will not
suffice. A doctoral level course requires descriiption and analysis. While descriiptions certainly
are the precursor to analyses, they are not the analyses. Analysis is not just opinion statements, or
a list of what authors have said. Each idea needs elaboration and explanation and, if possible,
supported by data and/or credible sources. The analysis should demonstrate the ability to
integrate theories with applications.
You must avoid careless or simple grammatical errors such as misspellings, incomplete
sentences, comma splices, faulty noun/verb agreement, etc. Such errors will result in substantial
point deductions. No slang, idioms, jargon, colloquialisms, and everyday language. Your writing
must be scholarly.
Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited and may result in failure
of the assignment, failure of the course, and/or removal from the program. It is your
responsibility to ensure that you understand fully what constitutes the various forms of
plagiarism and to avoid all forms of plagiarism. Consult the 2020-2021 LUO Honor Code

Main Question:
Strategic Planning Process
Chapter 5
Book : Adu-Frimpong, A. (2022). Issues of Program Implementation.
You are to identify a strategic plan for an agency-based program at either the state level, or national level, or local level. Make sure the five-year strategic plan includes the year 2022.

Consider a research problem you are interested in addressing that requires a mixed methods research design. Consider a mixed-methods study that you might conduct. You can use Creswell & Creswell as a guide. Please also review Chapter 3 of the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association. In your discussion, provide answers to the following questions:
Report the research questions and hypotheses for both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Describe the data collection procedures for both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Describe the data analysis procedures for both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Describe how the strands will be connected.
Describe how the results will be reported, validated, and interpreted by both qualitative and quantitative methods.
