- Description
- This study evaluates the Integrative Propositional Analysis (IPA) (Wallis, 2015), and its usefulness as a complementary model for analysing and evaluating public policy and policy implementation. The IPA model is evaluated in this longitudinal study and seeks to establish the validity of the correlation between the historically implemented results of the Drakenstein Local Municipality Housing Policy against the complexity and systemicity scores of the policy between 2010 and 2017. The IPA model predicts that the higher the complexity and systemicity of the internal logic structure of a policy, the more useful and effective the policy will be, and for its successful implementation. The model is premised on the idea that policies are more useful when they have some level of structure and has been accepted widely for some time (Wallis, 2018). The study thus is an evaluation of the usefulness of the model as complementing policy analysis and evaluation for successful implementation based on the policy internal structure. The research study provided a brief historical background on the development of the IPA and locates it as a ‗science two‘ model based on its systems thinking and Complexity Theory properties to policy analysis. An extensive literature review was undertaken, and secondary data was gathered and analysed to gauge the policy‘s historical success. In examining the Drakenstein‘s housing policy outcomes for evaluating the IPA model, the study adopted both qualitative and quantitative approaches for this exploratory descriptive report. The diagnosis indicated that the revised targets, introduced during the implementation altered the vision of the policy. This allowed for an analysis of the low structure of the policy and its inability to create integrated sustainable human settlements.
