Evaluation of the impact of mining royalties on socio-environmental indicators in Parauapebas, Pará, the Eastern Amazon

This research evaluated the impact of applying financial resources from mining exploitation (known as CFEM) on socio-environmental indicators in Parauapebas municipality, eastern Amazon. This study applies synthetic control methodology to establish a counterfactual for Parauapebas by weighting data from municipalities that did not experience the same impact due to the absence of mineral resources. We created synthetic indicators for before and after 1991, the initial year in which these royalties were received. Parauapebas municipality achieved a higher level of socio-environmental well-being with mining royalties than those without this activity. The rates (highest impact since 2000) for the population served with water were 3 %; sanitary sewage: 7 %; and waste collection: 3 %. Thus, resources allocation considers territory demands and expectations for the maintenance of municipality development. This research has important implications: it may guide the actions of various actors operating locally and support government development planning.

Kepentingan Perancangan Pembangunan Inklusif bagi Memastikan Kelestarian Sosial, Ekonomi dan Alam Sekitar: Kajian Kes Parlimen Kuala Langat

All Parties Parliamentary Group Malaysia - Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) always advocates the principle of “Leave No One Behind”. APPGM-SDG conducted an issue mapping study in the Parliament of Kuala Langat in 2023, which revealed that inclusive development planning significantly contributes to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. This is evident when considering the level of awareness among the population in the Parliament of Kuala Langat regarding local government development plans, such as Local Plans and Proposed Development Reports, especially for industrial development planning and new development areas, which are given significant attention. The population wants to ensure that the proposed development plans are more inclusive by considering the views and impacts received from the local community. However, challenges such as limited knowledge about the development planning process among the local community, limitations in making development planning decisions, and insufficient two-way communication between government agencies have led to unsustainable current development activities. The method of public engagement in development planning needs to be re-examined to ensure more inclusive development planning outcomes involving all stakeholders. Concurrently, the Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG 17) can be successfully manifested to ensure that development is implemented in a more inclusive and sustainable manner for the well-being of all.

Climate resettlement and livelihood transformation in Rwanda: the case of Rweru Model Green Village

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether relocating rural communities from areas exposed to high climatic risks can be transformative and in what ways. Using the Rweru Model Green Village as a case study and drawing on regional political ecology and sustainable livelihoods framework, the study shows that climate-related resettlement as an act of transformation is mediated by development vision and policies, multi-scalar dynamics, and micro-politics. Our semi-structured interviews with households resettled in the Rweru village revealed the double-edged nature of transformation. Resettlement was shown to increase access to modern facilities and social services for two remote island communities. However, new and potentially severe livelihood constraints emerged due to limited natural and financial capital, intra-community inequities, and microclimate variations between the origin and resettlement sites. These findings suggest that resettlement as a form of transformative adaptation requires careful navigation of the interplay between community expectations, government development plans, and shifts in the local, regional, and global political economy.

Strategic Innovation and Organizational Sustainability in the context of External Changes in Government Plans

Contemporary studies are now documenting that strategic innovation is crucial for increased organizational sustainability, however, few studies have been done on the effect of strategic innovation practices and organizational sustainability on the framework of fundamental changes in government development plans or economic diversity. A quantitative exploratory study design and analysis was carried out through a survey of 350 plus Saudi employees to explore and study the correlation of strategic innovation practices on organizational sustainability, during the implementation of the Kingdom of Saudi Vision 2030. Findings of this study indicate that strategic innovation is impressively being practiced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the 2030 vision. The results also ascertained that strategic innovation practices tested in this study are found to be positively related to organizational sustainability during this phase. The research importantly adds to the organizational sustainability and strategic innovation extant literature by clarifying their relationship in an emerging economy during a government structural plan change. This paper offers a first comprehensive and exhaustive review on the link of strategic innovation and organizational sustainability frameworks in an emerging economy. The paper builds as research on progress, of an empirical study on the synergy between strategic innovative practices and organizational sustainability during an economic diversification process in an emerging economy.

Intentional Design of Marketplace Revitalization Program: Outcome Mapping For The Case of The Banjaran Market

Marketplace revitalization is a solution from the government and related stakeholders to maintain the existence of the declining traditional marketplace. One of the Indonesian marketplaces that intervened with the revitalization program for this case study is Banjaran Market, in Bandung Regency, West Java which aims to improve infrastructure performance and the socio-economic development of its surrounding community. The complexity and expected behavioral changes in the marketplace revitalization program need to be simplified to be easily understood by the implementing team, beneficiaries, and donors via Outcome Mapping analytical method. This study started by collecting qualitative data, then focusing on Step Zero and the Intentional Design stage to establish the vision, identify boundary partners, state outcome challenges, and conceptualize strategies that influence boundary partners’ behavioral changes. The results show that the Banjaran Market merchant association is the boundary partner of the revitalization program, with the expected behavioral change indicated by ‘relationship’ in the form of openness, not hindering program implementation, which in turn builds the community and business management capacity, according to the regional government and medium-term development plans. This study is accustomed to be an evaluation of other marketplace revitalization programs in Indonesia, for inclusive and sustainable community engagement and development.

Classifying regencies and cities on human development index dimensions: Application of K-Means cluster analysis

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measurement that analyzes a region's development in improving human development. The government's development plan aims to create a successful and peaceful life. The unbalanced development in every regency and city in Indonesia is a typical issue during the development process. It may also be shown that the HDI level changes across regencies and cities in Indonesia. This research aims to identify Indonesian regencies and cities based on HDI indices. K-Means clustering algorithm is the clustering method adopted. The results of the analysis formed 4 clusters. The first cluster consisted of 20 regencies with a low average HDI indicator. The second cluster consisted of 148 regencies and cities with an average HDI indicator is medium. The third cluster consisted of 88 regencies and cities with an average HDI indicator. The fourth cluster consists of 258 regencies and cities with high HDI indicators.

Strategic Innovation and Organizational Sustainability in The Context of Vision 2030 In Saudi Arabia: An Empirical Study

Contemporary studies are now documenting that strategic innovation is crucial for increased organizational sustainability, however, few studies have been done on the effect of strategic innovation practices and organizational sustainability in the framework of fundamental changes in government development plans or economic diversity.

Private Sector Participation in Local Government Planning and Budgeting Processes: Experiences from Makete and Njombe Districts Councils


 
 
 The private sector is a key development partner, thus, its participation in government development planning and budgeting processes is crucial. This study investigated private sector participation in planning and budgeting processes in local government authorities in Makete and Njombe District Councils in Njombe Region. The specific objectives of the study were to examine spaces for private sector participation, and establish factors influencing private sector participation in LGAs’ development planning and budgeting processes. The study involved 40 purposively selected private sector organizations’ officials and 15 LGAs officials. Data were collected through structured interviews, key informant interviews and documentary reviews. The descriptive analysis technique was used for data analysis. Qualitative data were analysed for qualitative content analysis. The study found that the main spaces for private sector participation in LGA’s planning and budgeting processes were the submission of annual plans and budgets to LGAs, attending LGAs’ annual planning and budgeting meetings, and inviting LGAs officials to attend private sector planning and budgeting processes. The main factors influencing the private sector’s participation in LGAs planning and budgeting processes were: the policies of the private organisations, the need for transparency and accountability, the need for government support, the organization’s scope of operation and fora for lobbying and advocacy. It was concluded that the existing mechanisms were generally ‘closed’ or ‘invited’ spaces, which offered limited participation space for the private sector. Thus, there is a need for the government to widen participation spaces for the public sector, including by putting in place clear modalities for involving the private sector in LGA’s development planning and budgeting processes.
 
 
 

Adoption of Climate Smart Agricultural Practices by Charland Farmers in Charfasson, Bangladesh

The study was conducted in Charfasson upazila of Bangladesh to assess the farmers’ perception on climate change, adoption of climate smart agricultural (CSA) practices, and food security condition. The primary data were collected from 120 sample respondents through face to face interview using a pretested interview schedule. Findings revealed that the farmers of Charland exhibited extensive individual disparities in terms of their socioeconomic circumstances. Respondents identified cyclones, storm surges, sea level rise, salinity intrusion, erosion, and drought as the most significant climatic catastrophes threatening agricultural production. In order to cope with the climate change effects, respondent adopted different CSA practices such as saline tolerant rice variety, raised seedbed, planting large size amon rice seedlings, sorjan system, agroforestry, bottle nut, low lift pump, pheromone traps, urea deep placement, mulching, seed storage, napier grass as fodder along roadside/ails, flood resistant crops, drought resistant crop varieties, organic fertilizer, pulses, sunflower, soybean, and watermelon production, respectively. Even though very few people in the study area can't afford to eat a regular meal, there is a severe lack of sufficient nutritious foods and dietary diversity. In the event of a sudden cyclone or storm surge, people are more concerned about the availability of food as they are required to evacuate to safety in shelter centers. Since rice and vegetable cultivations are major farming practices, good agricultural practices should be ensured to make these farming more climate smart and sustainable. In addition, the government's development planning can urgently include coastal embankment or dam construction and deep irrigation in coastal areas to make agricultural farming profitable and sustain food security.

‘A place for training, not for competition’: negotiations of competition and agency among long‐distance runners in Kenya

AbstractKenyan long‐distance runners have for decades famously dominated international athletic competitions. Most of the aspiring runners live and train in the highlands of northwest Kenya, in Elgeyo Marakwet County, where they have access to competitive peer groups of budding athletes and an elaborate infrastructure of camps, coaches, and managers. The most promising and successful ones travel abroad to take part in international races, only to quickly return and continue training in the ‘county of champions’. Meanwhile, Kenya is undergoing a rapid transformation, envisioned by the government's development plan, which promises to transform it into a ‘globally competitive and prosperous country’. On the surface, competition is a self‐explanatory notion that drives the transnational sports industry and the state's development plan. However, ethnography of the county's capital, Iten, and its community of athletes reveals tensions: Kenyans take up, negotiate, appropriate, and challenge meanings of competition offered by the state and the sports industry on ecological, gendered, and moral grounds. Ethnography of ideologies of competition in Iten, conceptualized as moral, aesthetic, and gendered projects, complicates accounts of competition as a tool for global neoliberal governance. It also provides an alternative to analyses of African subjects’ agency in global circulation of capital, people, and ideas, namely analyses subsumed under signs of marginality, dependence, and subjection.

Rethinking conservation of Malaysia world heritage site livability: The case of Chew Jetty, Penang

The designation of George Town, Penang as one of the world heritage sites has brought numerous impacts on the region and local communities. The main issue of world heritage sites includes livability and strict heritage management which produced challenges for the residents to sustain. This paper aims to study livability and heritage inheritance and rethink the conservation planning of the heritage site. It is imperative to understand the direct impact of tourism and strict rules and regulations pressure from the world heritage site designation on the livability of the residents in the heritage site and start addressing this livability issue to regain the balance and equilibrium between the residential and tourism sector. The Chew Jetty has been selected as the case study area. The research of the site is done by thorough site analysis including multiple contexts, which are historical context, physical context, sociocultural context, issues threats and challenges, and government policies and development plans using material and resources available online as well as in-depth interviews with residents. The paper shows that the conservation planning set by the authority has driven away the livability of Chew Jetty and is losing the intangible aspects of Chew Jetty.

Doctor in circulation; A study on the historical background of the establishment and expansion of the Health Corps in Iran

After September 1931 and the end of World War II, the Pahlavi government turned its attention to the villages and the implementation of the second development plan, followed by rural health programs. With the formation of the Health Corps in 1954, as the seventh principle of the Shah and the Nation Revolution, all physicians and pharmacists in the service of the conscription system were asked to take charge of medical-health services in rural areas of the country.
 The present article uses archival documents and library resources in a descriptive-analytical manner to answer the question: Was the Health Corps in Iran a result of indigenous action or the result of the second Pahlavi government's development plans with US recommendations in support of Third World countries? The results of the research indicate that the historical nature and examples confirming the patient's defiance and their treatment were rooted in the historical past of Iran. The creation of the Health Corps and its acceptance by the villagers, due to its indigenous and Iranian nature, was acceptable in the historical memory of Iranians. However, the process of international interactions and the development policies of the country and the government's reform, along with taking advantage of US support opportunities, expanded within the framework of the principles of the White Revolution in Iran and led to extensive activity. This, as the present article claims, explains the indigenous practice of this measure.

Incubators on campus are the primary means of implementing an independent learning campus so that lectures and practice can run well. The Entrepreneur Hub initiated by KEMENKOPUKM is a super application that is a forum for the growth and development of the APSKI ecosystem to encourage its members to submit data on campus-assisted entrepreneurs through the Entrepreneur Hub so that the policies prepared are more measurable and accountable. APSKI members also contribute to the entrepreneurship hub by following its entrepreneurship education function and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem and business partnerships.

Official Development Assistance and Middle-Income Trap in the Philippines: effects, challenges, and strategies

The middle-income trap (MIT) states that middle-income economies have found it challenging to upgrade to reach the high-income stage over an extended period. Overcoming MIT has long been discussed as an essential social issue related to fewer job opportunities and unstable income, notably in Southeast Asia. Previous studies demonstrated several factors contributing to MIT, including governance, infrastructure, and the labor market. Official Development Assistance (ODA) has been employed to help developing countries accelerate further development as development cooperation. Despite the massive financial aid, the Philippines has the longest-running history of operating under LMIT. Much less research on the unclouded evidence on the relationship between the ODA and MIT in the developing world and on the strategic study relevant to ODA for overcoming the lower-middle-income trap (LMIT) in the Philippines was identified from the updated government development plans were identified in the existing research. Using secondary data compiled between 2002 and 2021, primarily from the World Development Indicators, UNCTAD, UNDP, and OECD database, and POLS modeling, the strength of the Japan ODA predicting the percentage change in R2 variance in the LMIT was evaluated in nine Southeast Asian economies. Using natural data, ODA was found to be a significant predictor (F [1, 130] = 26.553 p = .000) and is thus a substantial factor in escaping LMIT. Using the analytical approach of Murdoch School of critical political-economy, state actors’ wasteful procrastination and excessive dependency on the donor were found to be significant culprits. Also, a development strategy for overcoming LMIT through the ODA was suggested by conceptually integrating three processes of problem-setting, strategy, and tactics, into one concept. Development cooperation can be re-defined as “glocal” activities by state actors collaborating with non-state actors to maximize national capabilities. Building a further trustful relationship with ASEAN and Japan is desirable for the Philippines.

The Legacy Impact of Business Event - Case Study of ICEdDE 2019

The definitions of legacy and various tools of measuring legacy impacts from different perspectives were reviewed. Sarawak Convention Bureau’s initiative to enhance business events with a legacy programme as catalysts to the Sarawak Government Development Plan towards 2030 along the seven key focus areas and the United Nation 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has established five pillars of legacy impacts. Using the BESLegacy Initiative Guideline, the strategic pursuit of measuring the legacy impacts of the 1st International Conference on Education in the Digital Ecosystem (ICEdDE) 2019 were mapped. Methodologically, this paper is based on a case study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected supplemented by official documents. In the framework of planning to measure immediate outcomes, short, medium and long-term legacy impacts, the legacy plan provided evidence of being able to function as a model for forecasting the tangible and intangible impacts of the ICEdDE 2019. The immediate outcomes and short-term impacts were assessed using a questionnaire gathered from Sarawak participants. The respondents agreed to strongly agreed to the immediate impacts that the conventions had on them based on the eight domains. From the perspectives of convention host and the delegates, it was still very much traditionally perceived that the biggest value from conventions came from Knowledge Expansion. This was the main reason for wanting to attend the convention to listen to the deliberations of knowledge that was new or created through collaborations and shared from presenters particularly the keynote, plenary and invited speakers. They agreed networking and relationship building was also a motivator. In a broader outlook, only the host indicated other domains of Fundraising and Philanthropic support, Raising Awareness and Profiling and Trade though exhibitions as immediate and long-term impact which could be quantified and measured. However, the delegates pre-conceived such domains as secondary. The case study on ICEdDE 2019 measuring the short, medium, and long-term legacy impacts was able to show significant contribution to the development of Sarawak digital economy in education and service development industry towards achieving 5 United Nation SDGs.

Kehidupan Suku Laut di Desa Sungai Buluh Kecamatan Singkep Barat Kabupaten Lingga Kepulauan Riau (1980-2020)

This Sea Tribe in general has been known for a long time as a tribe whose life wanders on the high seas as a place for them to live and in meeting their daily needs they depend on nature. The government considers this kind of life as one of the obstacles in the government's development plan. Therefore, during the New Order government a policy was issued to settle the Sea Tribes, including the Sea Tribes in Sungai Buluh Village, which made them have to adapt to an environment that was foreign to them. Departing from these problems, this study aims to determine (1) the origin of the Sea Tribes who were settled in Sungai Buluh Village, (2) the process of relocating the Sea Tribes in Sungai Buluh Village, (3) the life of the Sea Tribes after being resettled to Sungai Buluh Village. The method used is the historical research method which includes the following steps: (1) heuristics, (2) source criticism, (3) interpretation, and (4) historiography. The results of this research: The Sea Tribe who settled in Sungai Buluh Village came from Pilang Island. They have long lived on the coast of Pilang Island and are known as the Baroque People. The relocation process was carried out by moving them to houses that had been built in Sungai Buluh Village as many as 52 houses, besides that they were also fostered in the social, religious, educational and economic fields. Now, the Sea Tribe have mingled and their settlement looks like a typical Malay village with their main livelihood being fishing.

Evaluation Land Use Cover Changes Over 29 Years in Papua Province of Indonesia Using Remote Sensing Data

Land use/cover change (LUCC) observation and determination have been extensively discussed in natural resources management, biodiversity and ecosystem preservation, land management also climate changes studies. An evaluation of the LUCC in Merauke, the easternmost city of Indonesia, was conducted to gain relevant information in agriculture and forestry based on historical data from remotely sensed land cover data. To obtain the historical dynamics of the LUCC, a supervised classification algorithm was implemented to the Landsat images of 1990, 1996, 2009, 2015, and 2019 as well as statistical analysis Wilcoxon signed-rank. This study aims to investigate and analyze the LUCC over a period of 29 years. The results show a significant decline in the forest area by around 7% in 2019. As compared to the LUCC in 1990, agriculture sectors such as dry-land agriculture, shrub-mixed dry land and paddy field gained an area higher than 50%, while the area of the water body is a declined by 0.61 % over the period. The evaluation of LUCC will help government development plans in the protection of commodities in this Province and the promotion for biomass and bioenergy resources.
