Abstract

This thesis was prepared to ascertain how the activities of the county, state, and federal governments, affected the attitudes of top level Broward County officials who have formal responsibilities in the area of water pollution control in Broward County. Their attitudes were determined by their responses to questions on intra-governmental and intergovernmental cooperation in both general and specific areas. The specific areas were: program development and/or implementation, sharing information, sharing equipment, sharing manpower, sharing funding. The findings showed that in both the general and specific areas, county officials felt the intra-county relationship to be cooperative. In all categories but that of funding, the intra-county cooperative ratings were equal to or higher than the inter-level ratings. The high intra-county cooperative rating was attributed to the homogeneity of the respondents, and to their perceptions of the nature of the county, state, and federal water pollution control programs.
