Barriers to the Development of Art Tourism in Jingdezhen—The Perspective of the ‘Jingpiao’ Community

Jingdezhen, renowned as the cradle of Chinese ceramic art, has embraced new opportunities in the realm of art tourism amidst the global tourism boom. Nonetheless, this growth trajectory is fraught with challenges. This study aims to delve into the obstacles encountered in the development of art tourism in Jingdezhen and to identify the critical influencing factors through qualitative research methods, particularly grounded theory. By conducting in-depth interviews with ‘Jingpiao’ artists who have worked in the art industry in Jingdezhen for three years or more and have interacted with tourists, this research reveals that economic, infrastructure, human resources, government attitude, policy and regulation, promotion, and transportation are significant factors affecting the development of art tourism in Jingdezhen. These factors intertwine to form a complex system that impacts the sustainable development of art tourism in the region. The findings underscore the need for concerted efforts among government, businesses, and artists to optimise these key factors, thereby creating a more conducive environment for the development of art tourism in Jingdezhen. Moreover, this study offers valuable insights and lessons for the development of art tourism in other regions.

Have low emission zones slowed urban traffic recovery after Covid-19?

This paper bridges the gap between the literature on the pandemic’s effects on mobility and the literature on the impact of low emission zones (LEZ). Using data for large European cities in the period 2018–2021, we examine whether LEZs may explain differences in the recovery patterns of traffic in European cities after the shock of Covid. Controlling for several city attributes, we examine whether LEZ cities are less congested before and after the pandemic in comparison to non-LEZ cities. LEZs may have been more effective in reducing congestion after the pandemic because the fleet renewal process has slowed down or, alternatively, LEZs may be a proxy of unobservable factors related with attitudes of governments and citizens toward a sustainable mobility. Our results validate the traffic-mitigating role of the LEZ after the Covid-19 pandemic, although such result only holds for the pioneering LEZ cities. Hence, the traffic-mitigating role of the LEZ after the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be related to unobservable attributes that influenced the early decision to implement a LEZ. In this regard, we also find that LEZs may have induced a change in local attributes related to sustainable mobility given that we do not find differences between LEZs decided at the local or regional level.

The Government Cookbook

The publication of what is, although not so labelled, the British Government Cookbook, is something of a sensation. Alan Davidson here deals with one aspect, the straightforward political one - how did Mr Major and the Conservative Party get into our kitchens without anyone noticing? But there are many other aspects which deserve study and may receive it. The light which the content of the book casts on the government's attitude to the composition of Britain's population (no ethnic groups mentioned, but five religious ones briefly described); the implications of the complete papering over of any dietary or culinary differences between the countries and regions of the UK; all this and much more is still to be analysed. Meanwhile, Davidson addresses the outstanding topical issue.

The Weight of History After October 7 and the Gaza War: Shaping a New Future

Abstract The trauma of the October 7 massacre for Israelis and the catastrophe that Gazans have experienced in the subsequent war mark a new stage in the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. While October 7 and indeed the Israeli response are exceptional, we cannot overcome their consequences without addressing the root of the conflict. Calls for an immediate ceasefire are understandable but fall into the trap of seeing the solution as being a military decision. This echoes to the attitude of the current Israeli government which poses the response to October 7 as a military one. A new international political initiative is required to change the atmosphere by setting the goal of resolving the conflict on the basis of self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians. That needs to inform the approach we adopt to ending the current conflict by replacing Hamas and Israel in Gaza with an international security mechanism.

“System change, not climate change”: Effective environmental policies and state repression moderate the relationship between psychological predictors and environmental collective action

Social psychological research on environmental collective action often overlooks the facilitating or hindering impact of a country’s context. The institutional attitudes of governments toward environmental issues can play a crucial role in mobilizing environmental activism. To explore how individual and contextual factors interplay for engagement in environmental collective action, we conducted multilevel modelling using data from 12 countries (n = 18,746). While the engagement in environmental collective action was predicted by stronger environmental concern and environmental efficacy beliefs, the strength of these relationships was moderated by macro-level contextual variables related to political governance. In countries with more effective environmental policies, both environmental concern and environmental efficacy beliefs had a stronger impact on collective action compared to the countries with inadequate environmental governance. Moreover, our findings indicated that environmental concern is less likely to translate into environmental collective action in repressive countries. Findings are discussed within the frameworks of community resilience, identity, empowerment, and repression.

Religious Moderation: An Analysis of Understanding, Internet and Social Media Exposure and Social Interaction Systems

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Religious moderation is launched because it concerns the order of life of the nation and state, where the internet and social media become a platform for any dynamic public discussion and change perspectives and practices in religious harmony. This study examines access to information about religious moderation through the internet and social media (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Line) as the most widely used platforms in Indonesia and the influence of exposure to its content on understanding and the system of relational interaction among university students.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Explanatory quantitative survey method with factor and regression analysis to explain the dominant factors and the magnitude of the influence of exposure to religious moderation content on students' understanding and interpersonal relationships.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> That student quite often access information about religious moderation on social media through WhatsApp and Instagram. Issues related to national commitment, tolerance, intolerance, violence, radicalism, government attitudes, regulations and their consequences, correlate with the dogmatism factor. The findings show that it is not easy to change one's religious beliefs, and this should be respected. So what remains is to find common ground and give a positive impression so that social interactions continue to run normally.</p><p class="normal"><strong>Originality:</strong> The research presents a novelty in the perspective of communication science on the understanding of religious moderation and its correlation with the interpersonal interaction system in students from non-religious campuses. Where previously religious moderation was widely studied in the perspective of language, civilization, humanity, culture, education and with subjects from religious campuses, especially Islam.</p>

Цифровое неравенство в системе местного самоуправления: понятие, критерии, пути преодоления

Introduction. Since the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, all areas of social management, including public management, have been seriously influenced by modern digital technologies, which, on the one hand, create new opportunities to increase the efficiency of management activities; on the other hand, they pose certain risks, potentially provoking digital inequality. The article presents an analysis of the prerequisites and causes of digital inequality in municipalities. The criteria for such inequality are identified and generalized. An attempt was made to find out the attitude of local governments and citizens, living under digital lockdown, towards the digital transformation of public administration and local economy. Proposals have been made to level the digital divide in municipalities. Theoretical analysis. The problem of digital inequality has been the focus of attention of researchers for over 20 years. However, the scientific discourse on digital inequality is still fragmented: there is no universal interpretation of this phenomenon in the theoretical aspect; there are no uniform parameters for measuring it, and no algorithm for overcoming it has been developed. It is noted that approaches to understanding digital inequality and its consequences have undergone major changes: from unhindered access to the Internet to a person’s request to use digital resources, including those in the field of local government. Empirical analysis. The analysis of the legal regulation of digital transformation was carried out. As a result, it was concluded that flexible or “soft” legal regulation of the digitalization of public administration currently prevails. It is indicated that a special federal law regulating the process of digital transformation in the public administration system and in the local government system, respectively, has not been adopted in the Russian Federation. The criteria for assessing the digital inequality of Russian subjects, the possibility and feasibility of scaling them to the level of local government were analyzed. Results. Based on the results of the study, it is shown that at the local government level, digital inequality is an urgent problem that has a complex technological, socio-economic, socio-cultural and legal nature. It has been proven that there has been a transformation in the essence and understanding of digital inequality: from the problem of access to digital technologies to ensuring equal conditions for citizens to exercise their constitutional rights through such technologies, including the right to local self-government. A proposal for a special program approach has been made to overcome the digital divide in municipalities.

Central policy attitudes and innovation diffusion of local government: the case of China's river chief system.

The central government's policy attitude will affect local governments' innovation adoption behavior, but the diffusion process is not static, which shows dynamic changes. This essay illustrates the spreading process of the Chinese River Chief System (RCS). It discusses how the factors influencing the diffusion of the RCS alter dynamically under various policy attitudes of the central government by using the segmented Event History Analysis (EHA) and Piecewise Constant Exponential (PCE) models. The results found that, under the central government's implicit policy attitude, peer city pressure and official promotion increase the probability of adoption of the RCS. When the central government's policy encourages the attitude, intra-city factors and peer city pressure affect the diffusion of the RCS. Still, official promotion is no longer an influential influencing factor. All three factors are no longer practical when the central government introduces mandatory regulations. In addition, vertical higher-level pressure and horizontal peer city pressure on adopting the RCS are competitive rather than complementary relationships. Local governments' attitudes regarding the RCS went through a path of "good governance signal-governance tool-authority obedience" under the varied policy philosophies of the central government. Local governments pay more attention to the actual circumstances in the region due to the non-mandatory central government direction, which advances the art of adopting policies. Contrarily, the central government's stipulations render the other factors' policies obsolete.

Revitalisasi Pasar: Apa Selanjutnya?

Market revitalization is not only physical development. Management, economic and social development is needed. The phenomenon of contemporary coffee shops appearing in traditional markets has attracted researchers to identify market revitalization problems. The aim of this research is to identify problems regarding revitalization. The research perspective is what the problem is, what is the government's attitude and what is the orientation of policy holders. Literature review method to verify data related to the implementation of revitalization in a number of markets. Shows that there are still problems such as communication and perceptions about revitalization, while policy holders have shown a clear policy direction. Market classification and revitalization that must be carried out.

The Impact of Taxation on High-tech Enterprises in Environmental Protection

With the rapid development of technology worldwide, competition in innovation capabilities among various industries is becoming increasingly fierce. Taxation, as a bridge connecting corporate behavior and government attitudes, plays an important role in assisting the development of high-tech enterprises and promoting technological progress in the industry. Therefore, exploring the most suitable tax preferential policies is a particularly crucial measure. In existing research, we can conclude that preferential taxation can promote research and development investment, improve innovation capabilities, and promote technological progress in high-tech enterprises. This paper mainly studies the effect of tax incentives on high-tech enterprises in environmental protection. While reaching similar conclusions, it is believed that tax incentives in this industry can promote technological innovation while protecting the environment, which is different from the external effects of other industries. It also points out the possible problems in implementing tax incentives for the environmental protection of high-tech enterprises from both the enterprise and government levels and proposes corresponding solutions.

Governance Policy Evaluation in the United States during the Pandemic: Nonpharmaceutical Interventions or Else?

Scientific evidence suggests that nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) effectively curb the spread of COVID-19 before a pharmaceutical solution. Implementing these interventions also significantly affects regular socioeconomic activities and practices of social, racial, and political justice. Local governments often face conflicting goals during policymaking. Striking a balance among competing goals during a global pandemic is a fine science of governance. How well state governments consume the scientific evidence and maintain such a balance remains less understood. This study employs a set of Bayesian hierarchical models to evaluate how state governments in the United States use scientific evidence to balance the fighting against the spread of COVID-19 disease and socioeconomic, racial, social justice, and other demands. We modeled the relationships between five NPI strategies and COVID-19 caseload information and used the modeled result to perform a balanced governance evaluation. The results suggest that governmental attitude and guidance effectively guide the public to fight back against a global pandemic. The more detailed spatiotemporally varying coefficient process model produces 612,000 spatiotemporally varying coefficients, suggesting all measures sometimes work somewhere. Summarized results indicate that states emphasizing NPIs fared well in curbing the spread of COVID-19. With over 1 million deaths due to COVID-19 in the United States, we feel the balance scale likely needs to tip toward preserving human lives. Our evaluation of governance policies is hence based on such an argument. This study aims to provide decision support for policymaking during a national emergency.

How social organizations participate in social governance in China: Official media's attention distribution analysis (1949-2021).

The attitude of the Chinese government towards social organizations (SOs) is crucial, as it affects the management rule and development tendency of SOs. To research the rule of SOs' participation in social governance in China, this study used a new historical perspective, the institutional development perspective, to conduct its exploration. This perspective provides an accurate measure of the reality of the SOs' participation, as it involves a mixed research methodology using continuous data from 73 years of reports and content mining, as well as topic clustering analysis to reveal a macroscopic and multi-line picture. Using a co-word analysis of hundreds of reports, from 1949-2021, in the People's Daily, an official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, this study quantified changes in intensity, emotion, and content regarding social organization participation in social governance through topic distribution. Three trends were revealed: (1) "social-oriented character" and "organized-oriented character" were identified during the change in SOs; (2) the extent of being managed gradually strengthened and shifted from the Communist Youth League of China to the Community Party of China; (3) the goals of SOs shifted from general to innovated function in special charitable organizations. The institutional development perspective can complement the focus event perspective, including a new method, co-word analysis, to examine official Chinese media and validate the Administrative Absorption of Society (AAS) theory by identifying two lines of topic clustering trends. The attention distribution analysis in official media from an institutional development perspective can help explore the role of official media reports in analyzing the allocation of national attention and provide new analytical methods for big data mining to establish the social and organizational natures of SOs to optimize their roles. It offers a basis for modern social governance policy innovation in China.

Analysis of the business environment in the Colombian market

Colombia is a diverse and promising investment destination, with abundant natural resources, a gradually developing economy, opportunities in emerging markets, and a favorable government attitude towards foreign investment. Located in the northwest tip of South America, Colombia is strategically located near the Panama Canal, an international maritime artery. It is the only bi-oceanic country in South America and an essential gateway for land transportation in South America. However, investing in Colombia has risks and challenges, including political instability, security issues, and social inequality. Colombia has long been mired in civil war and armed conflict. In 2016, the Colombian Government reached a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces, the People’s Army of Colombia, ending a match that had lasted more than 50 years. Despite the achievements of the peace process, other competitions and armed groups still exist in the country. This paper aims to provide an overview of the investment environment in Colombia to assist investors in making informed decisions.

Governmental Attitudes towards the Development of HK (1984–2022): A Corpus-Based Discourse Study

Implications of School Governance on Parental Participation in School Activities in Selected Secondary Schools in Bugesera District, Rwanda

School governance is the engine for all the activities in the school. The school governance plays a significant role for parents to feel welcomed or neglected. Participation of parents in school activities has raised concerns for the government of Rwanda from long ago and MINEDUC has put in place a law to create a room whereby parents’ role in the school development will be observed clearly. Bugesera District has been reported to experience absence of parental involvement in schools’ events which interested the researcher to carry out this investigation. The main objective of this study was to explore the implications of school governance on parental participation in school activities whereas the specific objectives were (i)to examine the effects of school decision making process on parental participation in selected secondary schools of Bugesera District. (ii) to assess the functioning of the school governing bodies on parental participation in selected secondary schools of Bugesera District, (iii) to evaluate the contribution of quality assurance on parental participation in selected secondary schools of Bugesera District, (iv) to find out the reasons why the parents do not actively participate in school activities in selected secondary schools of Bugesera District.This research utilized concurrent mixed method research design. The target population consisted of 5675 individuals, including members of the school executive council, school leaders, teachers, and students. A sample of 52 respondents, consisting of 4 head teachers, 10 teachers, 18 parents, and 20 students, were chosen from the selected secondary schools of Bugesera District. Both simple random sampling and purposive sampling methods were used to sample them. Data were gathered using focus groups, questionnaires, document reviews, and guided interviews. Head teachers and teachers completed questionnaires, which were utilized in this study as quantitative data gathering instruments. Head teachers also received interviews in addition to questionnaires. In addition, focus groups were employed to get qualitative information from parents and students. Tables and graphs were used to display the data after they had been examined using descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages). The findings to this study (90%) have shown that decision processes are made through in person meetings that gather them at school and parents are encouraged to participate in decision making through school committees and school general assemblies. The findings (85%) again indicated that generally the governing bodies exist in almost all the schools, functional and all the lawful members are included. Parents testified that they are involved in quality assurance through students’ homework, provision of school materials, monitoring the movements of their children from home to school and back home. Parents highlighted that when they do follow up on quality assurance, this boosts the children’s confidence and increase their efforts in learning. However, the findings indicated that the level of welcoming parents in school activities is still low and proposed reinforcement in school governance attitudes towards the participation of parents in school activities. Therefore, the study recommended thorough follow up and attention on the implementation of the established policies that regulates the school governance in order to fully integrate the parents.

Poverty, Wars, and Migrations: The Jonovski Family from the Village of Orovo

This article will cover the different types of migration in Macedonia and its Prespa region at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries through the Jonovski family from the village of Orovo. Poverty and wars caused many men to look for work and to earn money in distant places. Joshe, who was born around 1766, was first an economic migrant with his father, Marko, internally within the Ottoman Empire in Asia Minor (1880–1890). Later, he immigrated to the USA (1914–1918), before returning home to his family. However, after WWI, with the harsh attitude of the Greek government toward the Macedonian minority, this turned into permanent migration. His sons would be migrant workers in the USA, France, and Australia, while their wives and children stayed in Orovo. The village was destroyed and depopulated at the end of the Greek Civil War (1946–1949). Joshe and the remaining family reunited in Wroclaw, Poland, where in the 1950s Joshe died, and his daughters-in-law finally joined their husbands in the USA and Australia. His son Boris, with his family, moved to Skopje, Macedonia, Yugoslavia in 1968. We will look at the life and migrations of Joshe, his four children, and four grandchildren.

MEWUJUDKAN PELAYANAN PUBLIK YANG PRIMA PADA DINAS KEPENDUDUKAN DAN CATATAN SIPIL KABUPATEN TABANAN

Public service is a manifestation of the government's attitude to the community that is prime or primary, to succeed in excellent public service it is also necessary to cooperate with the community, but often in the field, people face obstacles that lack information about the mechanisms or procedures requested by public agencies. such as population management in the civil registry. With the existence of regulations issued by the Tabanan Regency Government, it reflects the government's attitude that prioritizes the community and the government's concentration in serving the interests of the community quickly, so that in managing public services, of course, the human resources in these agencies are always being improved to suppress systems that complicate the community in general, as well as by providing socialization to the community in order to increase public knowledge related to the mechanism for using the system in each intended institution
