Model Pengembangan Geopark Berbasis Komunitas Goa Boki Maruru (Studi Kasus Desa Sagea Kecamatan Weda Utara)

The purpose of this study was to identify the management of Goa Boki Maruru, find out the facilities provided for Goa Boki Maruru and develop a model for the development of Goa Boki Maruru. The method in this study was the survey method, namely a research technique through direct observation of a symptom or gathering information through interview guides, questionnaires. The involvement of these various parties can be seen as sufficient in encouraging tourism. However, currently there is no synergy between stakeholders in tourism management activities. Then it has not yet facilitated the management of Boki Maruru tourism as well as regulation and funding as well as assistance and direction. The research results in the FGD also have not found implementation in management activities from the local government as a dimension of Geopark development. In the management development dimension, it was found that there was no monitoring, evaluation, conservation, education and creative economic improvement program from the Government, and there was still a lack of efforts to increase community capacity related to Boki Maruru tourism management. The dimension of developing community-based strengthening shows that there is no transparency and accountability in tourism management due to the lack of basic management and the basics of tourism management by community organizations. It is recommended that the Geopark development model be through: increasing social responsibility, utilizing digital media, increasing community HR cabality, implementing Boki Maruru management training programs for community tourism organizations, and increasing collaboration with academic and private stakeholders.

MOSQUE-BASED ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT IN THE MALAY WORLD: Views of Ibnu Khaldun's Asabiyah and Malik Bennabi's Civilization Theories

<p><em>In the Malay world, mosque-based economic empowerment has grown in popularity, with Indonesia and Malaysia dominating the presentation of documents on the mosque economy. The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review on the economic empowerment of mosques in the Malay world and its relationship to civilization. On the basis of keywords pertinent to the economic empowerment of mosques in the Malay world, scholarly articles indexed by Scopus and Google Scholar were reviewed. Using techniques of content analysis, 44 relevant articles were gathered and analyzed. The results indicated that mosque-based economic empowerment programs have increased in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, but not in Southern Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, or the Philippines, where mosques continue to be centers of religious activity. Mosque-based economic empowerment is consistent with Ibn Khaldun's Asabiyah concept, in which the mosque serves as a social organization for Muslims in Malay countries. In some countries, mosque-based economic empowerment has reached a spiritual and rational stage, according to Malik Bennabi. This study can be used as a resource by administrators of mosques and Islamic organizations in the Malay world region to promote economic empowerment to strengthen social cohesion and the Asabiyah of the Malay Muslim community.</em></p>

Shared Streets: Choreographed Disorder in the Late Socialist City

This article examines the local self-governance of streets and sidewalks in Hanoi, the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Streets and sidewalks are shared among diverse actors for various activities while being formally managed by the state. Since the passing of the <em>Đổi Mới</em> economic reform program in 1986, which paved the way for the development of a private sector economy, street trade has been flourishing in Hanoi. Private individuals, mostly women, temporarily occupy sidewalks and streets to sell their goods. This form of petty trade caters to urbanites’ everyday demand for fresh products and food. While many Hanoians are actually in favor of street trade, the municipality seeks to undermine and regulate street trade, as it contradicts some state administrators’ vision of a modern and civilized city. Drawing inspiration from Jacobs’ (1961) “sidewalk ballet,” this article particularly examines the social norms governing public space. As they constantly need to negotiate their right to the city, street traders develop tactics to circumvent the municipal sidewalk order. Following the rhythms of regular crackdowns on street trade, the emergence and vanishing of mediation spaces, and urbanites’ tactics, this contribution seeks to understand modes of urban governance over these shared spaces. This study draws on ethnographic data collected during one year of fieldwork, local newspaper analysis, and secondary literature.

Empowerment at Work?: Examining Employment-Based Economic Empowerment Initiatives for Survivors of Commercial Sexual Exploitation.

Many organizations serving survivors of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) have begun economic empowerment programs, providing financial literacy education, vocational training, and/or employment opportunities for survivors. Yet, very little research has examined these programs, especially those that employ survivors. This project draws on a qualitative, multi-method study of 15 organizations that serve and employ CSE survivors to examine how economic empowerment is constructed through organizational discourse and practices, what tensions emerge in these processes, and how organizational actors frame and respond to them. The findings outline the components of "economic empowerment" and explicate the key tensions of authority-autonomy and compassion-accountability.

‘An Atmosphere of Waffle and Woolliness’: British Developmental Aid and Economic Transformation in Czechoslovakia

Discussions of the Thatcherite foreign policy often centre exclusively on the Cold War and especially on the relationship with the USSR. Therefore, the British relationship with smaller communist states is often unexplored, even though it is where British influence was most prominent. The brand of political and economic thinking espoused by British Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher found avid disciples in the newly democratic Czechoslovakia in the 1990s. A group of influential Czechoslovak politicians and officials led by Finance Minister, and later Czech Prime Minister, Václav Klaus sought to transform the Czechoslovak communist economy into a free market one that roughly followed Thatcherite lines. This was not only because they felt an ideological closeness to Thatcher but also because Britain was one of the few countries at the time that had experienced a large-scale privatisation of industries. Therefore, the reformers saw it as a model. The Prime Minister reciprocated these warm feelings. She authorised the sending of a team of British experts to Czechoslovakia, with the goal of aiding its economic reform programme. British advisers greatly contributed to privatisation and other schemes, especially on the practical side.

The spatial and economic relationship between labour informality and homicides in Cali, Colombia

AbstractMotivationIn the analysis of the relationship between the labour market and crime, the variable that comes from the labour market is generally the unemployment rate. However, there are labour market characteristics that are more significant than unemployment, such as labour informality, in the context of violent crime in low‐income and middle‐income countries.PurposeThis article aims to estimate the spatial and economic relationship between homicides and labour informality by neighbourhood in Cali, the city with the highest homicide rate currently and historically in Colombia.Methods and approachUsing administrative data and a unique survey of formal and informal labour market conditions, we estimate a Spatial Durbin Model to capture the spatial endogeneity of the relationship between homicides and the labour market in the city's neighbourhoods.FindingsThe main results show evidence of the positive spatial and economic relationship between labour informality and homicides in the city's neighbourhoods. In addition, the bulk of this effect occurs in some hillside settlement neighbourhoods with characteristics associated with acute labour informality.Policy implicationsWe propose a social and economic development programme to improve the conditions of the informal labour market and therefore achieve a reduction in homicides in specific areas, such as city hot spots found in our spatial results.

Rural Economic Development through ‘Basuduai’: A Model of Cattle Breeding Partnership in West Sumatera

The concept of ‘Basuduai’ on cattle breeding investment has been popularly implemented in West Sumatra for decades. Currently, this partnership modelling is still implemented in several villages and rural areas. This study aims to describe ‘basuduai’ as a socio-entrepreneurship approach in a simple descriptive method using the Business Model Canvas (BMC). Perhaps this model could also be implemented in other rural areas as an economic development approach. The data was collected through ten in-depth interviews and two focus group discussions (FGD) among the local partners in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra. Content and context analysis is conducted to describe the categorical theme for results analysis. The finding shows that cattle breeding investment as the 'Basuduai' system is an indigenous approach in the local community in West Sumatra. However, based on the business model canvas, the role of community leader should be prioritized to balance the system. Hence, the need for a formal socio entrepreneurship entity as the middleman should be developed. Perhaps, this study could contribute to the development of rural economic programs and could be replicated in other rural areas in Indonesia and also in other countries. Discussion and limitations are also stated in the study Keywords: Partnership Investment, Cattle Breeding, Business Model Canvas, Socio-Entrepreneurship, Economic Development, Economic EmpowermentJEL Clasification: L20, P32, R51

The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth in the MENA Region

Economic growth is one of the basic objectives of countries' economic programs, which is influenced by various factors such as the amount of capital available. Attracting capital and foreign direct investment is an important way to accelerate the economy towards development and job creation, which can be considered an engine of economic growth and development. Considering the special importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in economic growth, this article examines the impact of FDI on economic growth. For this purpose, the data of some countries in the Middle East and North Africa (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Tunisia, Iran, Turkey, and Yemen) were selected for the period from 1980 to 2020. A second-generation panel cointegration method was used to achieve the study's objective. According to the results, the impact of FDI on economic growth in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, and Yemen during the study period is positive and statistically significant. In Jordan and Iran, FDI was found to have no impact on economic growth. Moreover, the impact of capital stock and labor on the economic growth of member countries is positive and significant, except in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen.

The current situation of the tax system and administration in Albania

Abstract A large part of the world’s economies, but especially countries in transition, face high levels of fiscal evasion and tax avoidance. The tax administration must analyze the factors that influence the level of income declaration by taxpayers, specifically the identification of the problems of this fiscal policy in relation to VAT, Social Security and Health contributions and consolidate the infrastructure in order to improve the situation in a way to achieve a better performance in the realization of tax revenues. Tax control remains one of the most discussed issues in this case. Despite the fact that there are other important structures that affect the performance of the tax administration, tax audit has a significant impact on increasing the awareness of taxpayers. The quality of tax control has been treated as one of the basic performance indicators of the tax administration that has a direct impact on tax revenue collection. Fiscal evasion and tax evasion leads to a low level of revenue realization, which causes low levels of public investment. The object of the study will be the identification of the current problems of the fiscal policy, the identification of influencing factors in the behavior of taxpayers and the impact of tax control on tax performance. There are studies related to the structuring and management of the tax audit and the factors that make a tax audit more qualitative. These studies emphasize that an independent tax control takes on new burdens aiming to guarantee the budgets with the necessary revenues to carry out economic and social programs for the benefit of citizens. The recent global and regional economic crisis has affected fiscal administration, requiring all governments to increase tax performance in support of the minimization of informality and the fight against fiscal evasion and tax avoidance. In a country like Albania, where the informal economy is present (World Bank, 2015), taxpayers try to use all the “ways” they find to avoid paying tax obligations. The difference between the taxes that should be collected and those actually collected 1 is calculated to be somewhere between 16% and 20% for VAT and for profit tax an average of 38%, also if measures for tax controls had not been taken, the potential evasion reaches 66% (World Bank, 2015). Also, the occasional changes in tax legislation and the tax burden creates difficulties for business until finding abusive ways. Under these conditions, for the tax administration in Albania, maintaining an efficient and effective tax administration is a difficult challenge. In all countries, the tax audit plays an important role in the performance of the tax administration. The main purpose of the tax administration is to make taxpayers aware of their tax obligations. An important tool for improving efficiency and effectiveness of an administration is the implementation of an appropriate tax control system in relation to the conditions in which the country is located. This study constitutes a scientific effort to present the problems of the current fiscal policy and the influencing factors in the performance of the tax administration in Albania. Through this study it will be possible to prove the relationship that exists between the various factors that have been studied (which are thought to affect efficiency) and the efficiency of the tax administration. At the same time it will be analyzed what part of the income is realized from the tax control from the total collected income. This study is a novelty in this field, since there are no studies in Albania that have dealt with these issues before, but it will also serve the senior managers of the tax administration and policy makers to take the appropriate measures.

„Arbeit und Brot“ – die sozioökonomische NS-Propaganda vor 1933

Abstract The NSDAP not only copied the style of the labour movement from the start, but also shifted the focus of its propaganda from 1928 onward from nationalistic foreign policy to domestic and social issues. Until 1932, however, the new socio-economic focus was not underpinned by any concrete economic policy programme. This changed in the final phase of the Weimar Republic, when the NSDAP recognised the political importance of taking action against mass unemployment like no other party. Ideas for active economic policy using central bank-financed employment programmes, which the leading National Socialist Gregor Strasser adopted from early Keynesian and trade union circles, served as the programmatic basis. The topic was job creation, the slogan was “work and bread” and the explicit main opponent, the SPD, was blamed for unemployment, misery and bankruptcy. This socio-economic focus may have contributed significantly to the electoral success of the NSDAP in July 1932, when it replaced the SPD as the strongest party in the Reichstag. The Nazis were able to garner more than a quarter of the workers‘ votes and became the strongest party - even among the workers. With this, the NSDAP turned into a people‘s party, which was drawn from all milieus.

Socio-Legal Empowerment for Working Women in Bangladesh

Abstract: Violence against working women strikes at the heart of economic empowerment programs—the very programs that are intended to empower them. If economic empowerment is defined as women's control over their income, violence as patriarchal deterrence prevents those women from controlling the money that they have worked so hard to earn. Therefore, women who earn are not inevitably empowered through their participation in the labor force. We argue that economic empowerment cannot be defined in terms of women's labor force participation alone. Gender-based violence sustains patriarchy. As part of the development of sociolegal empowerment theory, we introduce patriarchal deterrence as a new concept, which goes in tandem with patriarchal backlash theory, further clarifying analyses of low female labor force participation. As patriarchal backlash, violence punishes women who have joined the workforce; as patriarchal deterrence, it deters women from even starting to work. Arguing that income generation is insufficient, we present a theory of socio-legal empowerment as a necessary corollary of economic empowerment, which integrates concepts of legal empowerment and social accountability. Our theory has four components, which can be applied to assess a justice system. First is societal embeddedness, which measures how context-specific it is. For example, in Muslim countries, informal justice systems, which utilize feminist interpretations of Islam, are more embedded in local values and therefore more effective. By analyzing feminist interpretations of Islam as an imperative measure of effective justice systems for Muslim communities, we challenge Orientalist binaries of Islam versus women's rights. Second is social accountability, which assesses whether its verdicts and processes have social sanction. Third is its gender transformativeness, or social change potential, which addresses its capacity to build awareness. Fourth is its costs not only in terms of legal expenses but also of physical proximity which eliminates childcare expenses. In sum, we illustrate that earning income, though necessary, is insufficient for women's economic empowerment. Through the analysis of the NGO-ReformedShalish (informal justice system) in Bangladesh, we illustrate how socio-legal empowerment, in theory and practice, is also needed to empower working women.

Does the Educational Level of Parents Influence Their (Adult) Offspring’s Financial Behavior?

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of parents’ educational levels on young adults’ financial behavior. A sample of students enrolled on degree programs in Economics was considered to avoid the problem of financial illiteracy. The results obtained reveal that the educational levels of both parents influence young adults’ financial behavior but in significantly different ways: a father with a university degree seems to influence his male offspring’s financial behavior positively, while a mother with a university degree seems to influence her female offspring’s financial behavior negatively. This evidence may lead to reflection on intervention to ensure that tomorrow's women have the same opportunities for successful financial planning as men.

Catechesis on the Sustainable Economic Pastoral Program for the People of Mocok Station in Saint Arnold Janssen Parish, Ponggeok

Ruteng Diocese has launched 2023 as a sustainable economic pastoral year. As part of the Ruteng Diocese, the Saint Arnold Janssen Ponggeok Parish has the obligation to socialize sustainable economic pastoral programs to the people through catechesis in each Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) in March and April 2023. This obligation is rather difficult to carry out because the number of catechesis facilitators is limited. The number of BECs is more than the number of facilitators. To overcome this problem, the Community Service Team (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, PkM) of the Theological Education Study Program of the Indonesian Catholic University of Santu Paulus Ruteng offered assistance. The selected location is Mocok Station. This station has 14 BECs. The PkM team functions as facilitators in each BEC. The activity was carried out twice in March 2023. This community service aims to inform the Ruteng Diocese's sustainable economic pastoral programs to the people of Mocok Station and stimulate their commitment to the success of the programs. The method used was 3M, namely, to look at (Melihat) the social reality of the people, to evaluate (Menilai) the reality in the light of the Word of God, and to plan actions (Merencanakan) to respond to the reality that the Word of God has enlightened. As a result, people understood the importance of utilizing the natural resources they have and the need to build work ethics in order to have a better quality of life. In addition, the people expressed their intention to be involved in the Ruteng Diocese's sustainable economic pastoral program. They succeeded in formulating and deciding on a concrete action plan that was in line with the aim to increase the people’s wellbeing in each BEC.

Mapping digital health ecosystems in Africa in the context of endemic infectious and non-communicable diseases

Investments in digital health technologies such as artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and telemedicine may support Africa achieve United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal for Health by 2030. We aimed to characterize and map digital health ecosystems of all 54 countries in Africa in the context of endemic infectious and non-communicable diseases (ID and NCD). We performed a cross-national ecological analysis of digital health ecosystems using 20-year data from the World Bank, UN Economic Commission for Africa, World Health Organization, and Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were used to characterize ecological correlations between exposure (technology characteristics) and outcome (IDs and NCDs incidence/mortality) variables. Weighted linear combination model was used as the decision rule, combining disease burden, technology access, and economy, to explain, rank, and map digital health ecosystems of a given country. The perspective of our analysis was to support government decision-making. The 20-year trend showed that technology characteristics have been steadily growing in Africa, including internet access, mobile cellular and fixed broadband subscriptions, high-technology manufacturing, GDP per capita, and adult literacy, while many countries have been overwhelmed by a double burden of IDs and NCDs. Inverse correlations exist between technology characteristics and ID burdens, such as fixed broadband subscription and incidence of tuberculosis and malaria, or GDP per capita and incidence of tuberculosis and malaria. Based on our models, countries that should prioritize digital health investments were South Africa, Nigeria, and Tanzania for HIV; Nigeria, South Africa, and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DROC) for tuberculosis; DROC, Nigeria, and Uganda for malaria; and Egypt, Nigeria, and Ethiopia for endemic NCDs including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, and malignancies. Countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Mozambique were also highly affected by endemic IDs. By mapping digital health ecosystems in Africa, this study provides strategic guidance about where governments should prioritize digital health technology investments that require preliminary analysis of country-specific contexts to bring about sustainable health and economic returns. Building digital infrastructure should be a key part of economic development programs in countries with high disease burdens to ensure more equitable health outcomes. Though infrastructure developments alongside digital health technologies are the responsibility of governments, global health initiatives can cultivate digital health interventions substantially by bridging knowledge and investment gaps, both through technology transfer for local production and negotiation of prices for large-scale deployment of the most impactful digital health technologies.
