LAND MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS IN NEPAL: REPERCUSSIONS OF LAND USE POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION GAPS IN REGIONAL AND URBAN PLANNING

Abstract. In lieu of advancement in human civilization from nomadic age to quest for welfare capitalism in recent days, land resources have been one of the most sought after assets for subsequent socio-economic development. The concept of land, once only geo-political has evolved to be interdisciplinary with developmental and managerial aspects in regional and urban planning worldwide making the facets of land management more complex than ever. In the context of modern Nepal, governance in systematic land management appeared during mid-1960 only with establishment of Ministry of Land Reform (MoLR). This paper aims to provide constructive criticism upon institutional fragmentation, and fragile policy and implementation gaps in land use administration which have been bewildering the concepts of regional and urban planning in Nepal. The recitation of this work is primarily based on selected literature review of relevant research on land use planning along with two representative case studies in national context and in international scenario as well. Despite rigorous efforts, the issues of competence in land administration, migration and syndicate in urban real estate remain as the major problems in land management in Nepal. Also, the new state restructuring of federal Nepal has already upraised the challenges in land resources planning for local governments who but seem muddled up in constructing rural economy and strategic urban plan for regional development. Nevertheless, these concerns in regional and urban planning can be addressed through practice of sustainable land management with thoughtful consideration of ambiguities in land use policy and implementation.

Considerations Regarding the New Legislative Modifications and Amendments in the Matter of Civil Status Acts

This paper aims at signaling the future legislative modifications and amendments in the matter of civil status acts, still at under discussions in the Bill for the modification and completion of Law no. 119/1996 regarding civil status acts, republished , as well as for the abrogation of the Government Ordinance no. 41/2003 pertaining to the administrative modification and assignment of individuals’ names . The Bill has been subject to public debate and later approved by the Superior Council of the Magistracy.The new normative act aims at creating the legal framework for the implementation of the project regarding the creation of the Integrated Computer System for the Issue of Civil Status Acts (SIIEASC), carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which will establish the electronic form for drawing up civil status acts, while ensuring the required computer network at a national level. The purpose of the new regulations is to harmonize the Romanian legislation in the field with the European legislation, given that Romania’s adhesion to the European Union in 2007 implicitly triggered an increase of the international private law legal relationships. The bill aims at decentralizing certain activities by the transfer of attributions from the competence of public central administration to the competence of local public administration authorities, which will result in a decrease of the time required to settle a petition regarding civil status acts. Furthermore, the new law will also include the provisions of Government Ordinance no. 41/2003 for the administrative assignment and change of individuals’ names, a normative act that it will also abrogate. To this purpose, the bill stipulates a simpler procedure for changing a name and, at the same time, a shorter time for this endeavor and, with regards to the first name, parents won’t be allowed to register more than three first names for their children.

Financial and Personal Issues of the Transferred State Administration Competencies in the Building Procedure to Municipality Offices

Abstract The aim of the paper is to draw attention to consequences of the transfer of competency at the level of the building procedure from state authorities to municipal offices in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic. The defined research objective was achieved firstly by conducting controlled interviews with representatives of the building offices in the Nitra Region and, secondly, by analysis of financing of this competency from the obtained data from publicly available sources in both states. Secondly, the paper includes a comparison of the financial management of the transferred competencies at the level of the building procedure between the Nitra Region (Slovakia) and the Pardubice Region (Czech Republic). By conducting controlled interviews in the Nitra Region, we came to the conclusion of the financial under-dimensioning of this competency. By comparing the amount of state subsidies provided for the building procedure in both regions, significant differences were found. Based on our research findings, we recommend reassessing the state subsidies for the transferred competency in the field of building procedure.

Hospital emergency management: A programing and profession assessment.

At a national and international level, governments have advanced all-hazards readiness and implemented disaster management systems within multiple industries, services, and sectors. This scope included public health agencies and healthcare providers, whose roles evolved in purpose and expectation within their respective communities, but their core mission remained unchanged. Real-world emergencies and disasters routinely challenge hospitals and affirm that healthcare providers must be prepared to provide, sustain, and expand critical services during times of crisis. This study reviews emergency management (EM) and disaster preparedness programing specifically within hospitals and healthcare systems to assess overall effectiveness. Analysis includes a review of existing program administration literature and regulatory and accreditation agency standards. Initial findings suggest ongoing efforts are needed nationwide to improve hospital EM capabilities and enhance the resiliency of American healthcare infrastructure. Identified gaps include limitations of pertinent research, inconsistent program evaluation metrics and processes, and hindering perceptions of profession role and purpose. Recommendations are provided to refine the traditional hospital EM profession and advance overall program administration competencies, as well as considerations for future research opportunities.

Algorithm Formalization for Decision Making in Influenza Vaccination.

Influenza is an important public health problem with consequences on the health of people, but also at the state level with social and health costs due to the morbidity and mortality produced. Vaccination is an act of care of high clinical complexity, which can be learned and trained, so that decision-making in vaccination requires elements of judgment that act logically in a cascade. The creation of algorithms and their implementation in computer systems will identify susceptible people more quickly and improve the competence in the administration of vaccines. For the creation of the algorithm, the variables and their relationships were identified through mathematical formulation. As a result, the nine variables for vaccination that result in 47 different clinical situations were identified (29 "non-vaccination" and 18 "vaccination" situations). The formalization of algorithms in vaccine administration allows to represent the process by which the professional carries out the decision making process.

Cross-border public administration

Institutional, teleological and consensual blockchain jurisdiction manifestations have been articulated in the activities of the public administration concerning interventional, contributory, protective, delegated, executive and efficient public administration. The authors have revealed the service format of functioning and synergy of the cross-border interaction of public administration within horizontal and vertical relations with the subjects of public and private law. Legitimacy of transformational remodelling of power, as well as the specifics of the values intercourse in information and traditional societies in the framework of implementing the powers of cross-border public administration through the simulation category. The paper highlights the functioning dynamics of cross-border public administration in the external and internal dimension in terms of using such instruments of public administration, as regulatory and administrative acts, acts-plans, acts-actions, administrative contracts. Fundamental influence of technological innovations on the public service activities of public administration has been proved in a transboundary perspective to achieve the rule of law, the maximum legal certainty of streamlining the process of public governance. Institutionalization of the synergetic paradigm has been established for using the tools of public administration within the blockchain jurisdiction to properly implement the cross-border competence of public administration, which will contribute to the adaptation of national law to the supranational legal framework. The authors have specified that, with proper implementation of the competence of cross-border public administration within the blockchain jurisdiction, there is a ‘self-propelled’ system with a measurable number of variables for institutionalization of such an organizational structure, which could be self- reproducible in the presence of corresponding internal and external links with the allocation of order parameters

Building Competence Frameworks for Vietnam Middle Management in the Hotel Industry

Competence frameworks are the trend for human resource management in a dynamic environment. In Vietnam’s dynamic environment, the hotel industry is witnessing fast changes to adapt to the development of the Vietnamese economy.

How Regional Authorities Act Under Restricted Decentralization: Evidence from the Norwegian Transport Sector

The literature on decentralization points out that there is a tendency to limit discretion at the local level by, for example, imposing national standards. It is therefore of interest to understand how sub-national authorities act under conditions of political decentralization, which is not followed by a similar delegation of administrative competence. Are sub- national authorities able to make policy changes or do they simply follow the same path as the central state authorities prior to decentralization? Drawing on insights from organisational perspectives, it might be expected that the shift of organisational locus affects policy change. Based on qualitative data, we explore the Norwegian Reform of Government Administration, which transferred the bulk of the national road network to the regional level in 2010. This was a political decentralization reform. The sub-national authorities continued to rely on the national road agency’s competence. Although standards, the professional community in the road agency and limited financial resources hampered the effect of the reform, we find that the regional authorities were able to influence the focus of the road agency towards a more sustainable and holistic regional perspective.

Capturing development value, principles and practice: why is it so difficult?

Land prices have risen significantly in England over the last two decades, generating debate about how far ‘unearned increments’, particularly those arising with planning permission, can and should be taxed for the public good. In principle, taxing such increases should be easy, although experience suggests otherwise. Taxing them, like any other tax, should be judged by how much is raised together with three welfare criteria: do they promote a more efficient use of resources; achieve more equitable outcomes; and comply with taxation principles of revenue raising, fairness and administrative competence. The paper discusses the two main UK mechanisms: unhypothecated national taxation and negotiated local contributions for infrastructure and affordable housing, assessing how far they have met these requirements. Finally, the paper considers how the current system might be modified better to achieve the desired outcomes and whether there is a case for more fundamental reform.

The competencies of principals in ensuring sustainable education: Teachers' views

<span>This study aimed to reveal the opinions of teachers about the competencies of school administrators in order to ensure the sustainability of education in schools. It was a pneumology study designed with qualitative research method. The study group consists of fifteen teachers from schools located in five different educational zones across the center of Sivas, a city in Central Turkey. Study data were analyzed with content analysis to determine the factors that provide educational sustainability in schools. According to the results; solidarity and structured work characteristics among school administrators to fulfill the objectives of the school affect the adequacy of education in a positive way; while institutionalism and limiting of the capacity have an opposite effect. In relation to capacity building for taking the school culture to future, school administrators have a high opinion of opening up to the neighborhood besides school culture supply and demand. Lastly, for carrying the school into the future, teachers expect school leaders to exhibit behaviors with emphasis on specific themes as ethics, motivation, and awareness.</span>

PRACTICAL TRAINING OF OFFICERS OF THE STATE FIRE SERVICE THROUGH GAME-BASED LEARNING

Introduction. It is common knowledge that lives and health of people as well as safe operation of various infrastructures depend on the high level of professionalism of the staff responsible for safety. It fully belongs to the personnel structure of the State Fire-Fighting Service (SFFS) of the Emergency Control Ministry (EMERCOM) of Russia. However, in a technologically developed society, there is a contradiction between the increased requirements to young officers’ competencies and the impossibility to achieve a proper complex of graduates’ characteristics by providing education through only standard traditional techniques, which continue to be prevalent in higher education and ensure optimisation of professional activity in general.The aimof the present publication was to present the developed methodology of game-based learning for training of cadets of educational organisations of higher education of the EMERCOM of Russia. The methodology is designed to develop cadets’ practical skills in the field of rescue operations and firefighting.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the research, the methods of system analysis, synthesis and modelling of professional activity were employed. The research is based on the provisions of the associative-reflex theory, the theory of motivation development and the theory of contextual, modular, problem-based, reflexive and game-based learning.Results and scientific novelty. The interrelated elements of the pedagogical theories and didactic principles, united by a common scientific-methodological objective, allowed the authors to create a methodological tool for gradual formation and consolidation of organisational and administrative competencies of young officers of the State Fire-Fighting Service. The authors considered monitoring indicators of the results of training of graduates of Ivanovo Fire and Rescue Academy in order to develop the methodology, which purposefully addresses the shortcomings and gaps of education of future firefighters’ knowledge and their practical skills.The competitive spirit increases positive dynamics of the educational process and contextual content of business games, built on realistic situations from the field of firefighting and implementation of rescue operations at various socioindustrial, housing and transport infrastructures, attract interest of cadets and stimulate their motivation to improvement of own business qualities. The advantages of the offered methodology are the following: the possibility to design various schemes of practical training through the modular principle of their design; the development in cadets of the skills of team interaction, acquisition of professional experience by them in the process of role performance of duties of chiefs of rescue and fire fighting offices and department guards; the readiness formation to quickly adapt to new circumstances and to cope with non-standard problems in the conditions of limited time; to develop the abilities of critical thinking in young officers, to reflect own activity and to define the directions of professional growth.Practical significance. The proposed methodology demonstrated its effectiveness and practical importance for cadets’ training in the field of rescue and firefighting, as confirmed by, inter alia, the improvement of academic performance in special disciplines. The proposed methodological tool has shown promise in more rational redistribution of teaching time and expansion of the base of practical modules for designing business games for the purpose of development of new relevant professional competencies in students.

Administrative decision-making amid competing public sector values: Confederate statue removal in Baltimore, Maryland

ABSTRACTConfederate monuments conjure competing public sector values. Like many cities in the USA, Baltimore, Maryland had monuments honoring the “Lost Cause of the Confederacy”. Such monuments, usually constructed during periods of racial strife, typically feature prominent figures of the Confederacy, such as generals. Proponents of such monuments argue these monuments honor historical figures that shaped US history. Opponents assert monuments symbolize racist ideals and reinforce inequality, particularly for African Americans. Baltimore had four monuments until 2017. In the aftermath of two racially charged incidents following decades of social injustices, the Mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, ordered the monuments’ removal in August 2017. This case examines the details and rationale surrounding Pugh’s decision in the context of competing public sector values. The knowledge and skills gained from this case study can be applied to a range of public administration and policy issues involving social justice, administrative competencies, and leadership.
