Pemetaan Stakeholder Penanganan Lahan Kritis

There has been an intensively increase in the area of critical land in many regions including in DIY Province from 2013 - 2018. In handling the problem, there needs to be cooperation between various related stakeholders. This research was conducted to map stakeholders in order to understand factors constraining coordination as well as the collaboration. The method used in this research is deductive qualitative with data analysis techniques, namely stakeholder analysis. The data used are primary data obtained from interviews and secondary data formed of policy documents obtained from an inventory of publications of relevant agencies. The results showed that there are 7 (seven) stakeholders related to the handling of critical land in DIY Province. The most influential stakeholders (Key Players) are the Serayu Opak Progo Watershed Management Center and the Division of Rehabilitation, Nature Conservation and Forest Protection (DLHK Provinsi DIY) because they have a high level of importance and influence. Coordination in order to build collaborative work between stakeholders has not been implemented in this case due to the mismatch between resources (budgeting) and authority assigned to each Key Players stakeholder agency.

Exploring the facilitators and barriers to addressing social media's impact on anxiety within primary care: a qualitative study.

Several researchers and policymakers have acknowledged the alarming association between social media (SM) usage and anxiety symptoms in young adults. While primary care holds a crucial role in the improvement of health outcomes for those presenting with anxiety, there has been no research on GPs' perceptions of the impact of SM on anxiety. Furthermore, there has been little discussion of SM as a risk factor in anxiety-related consultations. This study is the first to use empirical research to inform how primary care can adapt to address SM's impact on anxiety within young adults. To identify the facilitators and barriers within primary care to addressing SM's impact on anxiety among young adults. A qualitative study of GPs in the UK. Following an exploratory pilot interview, semi-structured interviews with GPs (n = 7) were transcribed and thematically analysed, following an inductive approach. The following six facilitators were identified: a framework to facilitate discussion; open GP attitudes; GP training; referral pathways; larger stakeholder influence; and young adult education of social media's impact on anxiety. The following three barriers were identified: a lack of GP awareness of SM's impact on anxiety; cautious GP attitudes; and increased pressure on the health service. This qualitative study revealed a diversity of perceptions, and these novel findings are instructive in the adaptation of primary care services to meet the current mental health needs of young adults, as well as better assisting GPs in engaging in these conversations, especially within university practice.

Influence of policies on stakeholders to drive the success of modular integrated construction in Hong Kong

PurposeModular integrated construction (MiC) is an innovative and effective manufacturing-based method of construction that has become the mainstream development direction of projects in Hong Kong (HK). However, large-scale promotion of MiC practice still needs efforts. A pressing concern is that the impact of relevant policies on stakeholders during project implementation is rarely explored in depth. Therefore, to fill the research gap, this study aims to investigate the influence of policies on stakeholders to drive the successful implementation of MiC in HK.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a strategy of multiple methods. First, a comprehensively literature review and survey were adopted to identify critical policies and stakeholders. Second, semi-structured interviews with 28 experts were conducted to quantify their relationships. Third, three policy–stakeholder networks at initiation, planning and design and construction stages were established using social network analysis.FindingsEnvironmental protection policy, COVID-19 pandemic policy and environmental protection policy and quality acceptance standard for project completion are found to be the most important policies of the three stages, respectively. The HK government and developers are highlighted as prominent stakeholders influencing policy implementation at all three stages. The dynamics of the influence stakeholders receive from critical policies at different stages of MiC are discussed. Valuable recommendations are accordingly proposed to enhance the successful implementation of MiC projects from the perspective of various stakeholders.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the body of knowledge by considering the mediating influence of stakeholders during policy implementation in the MiC uptake, and is valuable in helping policymakers to deeply understand the influence of policies to further forward successful MiC implementation and practicality in HK.

Stigma as a local process: Stigma associated with opioid dependency in a rural-mixed Indiana county

BackgroundBecause the nature and magnitude of stigmatizing views associated with opioid dependency vary by social, cultural, and structural factors, strategies to reduce public stigma towards opioid dependency should vary by context. We leverage a unique dataset with evidence of multiple stigmatizing views to understand how to target interventions to reduce stigma in a state disproportionately impacted by the opioid epidemic, with a specific focus on a rural-mixed county. MethodsData come from the representative Person-to-Person Health Study (2018–2020) of 2,050 Indiana residents, 224 from the rural-mixed Fayette County. Bivariate statistics and multivariate regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between Fayette County and measures of stigma (e.g., desire for social distance, prejudice, causal attributions) relative to the rest of Indiana. ResultsFayette County statistically differed from the rest of Indiana on most demographic characteristics and measures of stigmatizing views. Multivariate regressions revealed that compared to the rest of Indiana, residence in Fayette County was associated with a higher desire for social distance, perceptions of unpredictability, and attributing opioid dependency to genetics and the way the person was raised. ConclusionOur results contribute to growing evidence supporting the need for local approaches to address stigma. Stigma in Fayette County primarily reflects concerns about how people manage their opioid dependency. Strategies focusing on treatment and recovery potential, accompanied by extending the influence of supportive stakeholders and policies, will become important to address this stigma.

STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN NORTH JAKARTA, A CASE STUDY

The School Health Unit (UKS) program has been implemented since 1984. Although this program has been done yearly, the children's health status has not been optimized yet. Studies have been done to evaluate this program, however very limited studies have been done to explore the stakeholders of the program, their roles, and their conflicts, especially at the school level. This study aimed to stakeholder analysis of school health programs at school level. This was a qualitative case study of 4 elementary schools in North Jakarta. Data collection was carried out by means of in-depth interviews. Stakeholder analysis was performed by using steps which consist of identifying stakeholders, identifying interests, analyzing the influence of identified stakeholders and identifying risks, and anticipating risk management. Stakeholder mapping is done using the Grid mapping model. This study shows that in private primary schools, the most influential actors were foundations, namely as “context setters”. In public elementary schools, UKS teachers were the “subjects” and the education authorities were the powerful party in the development of infrastructure. This study also found that there was a conflict between the interests and influence of the main stakeholders, namely foundations and Education Authorities. Foundations and Education Authorities were not directly involved in implementing UKS in schools. This research concludes that the actors have not been maximal in carrying out their roles in the UKS policy at elementary schools in North Jakarta. Cooperation between actors needs to be improved.

Sustainable city development from the perspective of corporate green innovation and governance

The global consensus on green and city sustainable development is reshaping corporate innovation concepts, strategies, and practice. In the context of Chinese "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", encouraging corporate green innovation has become the focus of academic and government attention. As the core element to achieve the goal of city sustainability, corporate green transformation brings technological innovation and the business model change, which impact on firm pollutant discharge, consumer behavior and stakeholder value. These synergies effect provides a green, healthy, and sustainable living environment for city development. Based on the perspective of Stakeholder Influence Theory, this study explores the positive effects of Shareholder Influence on corporate green innovation by empirically testing 17,923 observations of 3205 A-share listed companies in China from 2011 to 2020. The results shows that the decision-making efficiency with Shareholder Power Influence and information advantage with Shareholder Network Influence both promote corporate green innovation. Among them, the power and network of the Top Management Team (TMT) play a moderating role. This study emphasizes the driven force of corporate governance in the context of city sustainable development and puts forward the economic agenda and requirements to achieve cities' low-carbon transformation.

Stakeholders analysis of tourism governance in Dalegan beach ecotourism, East Java, Indonesia

This study was conducted to examine the roles of interconnected stakeholders based on power and interests in Ecotourism Management Policy for Dalegan Beach, Gresik Regency, Indonesia using a qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with stakeholders. Furthermore, the identification of stakeholders interest in ecotourism development was based on the strengths, important positions, and influence of stakeholders categorized into several groups. The results showed that there were three categories of stakeholders, namely Main, Supporting, and Key. In the Village Government, Dalegan Beach Tourism Manager acted as a key player and the local community had the main role. Additionally, East Java Province Maritime and Fisheries Service, Gresik Regency Tourism and Creative Economy Office, Culture, Youth and Sports Office, Gresik Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Service, and Commanditaire Vennotschaap Mahera (CV Mahera), the landowner, were recognized for lacking direct inclusion in policy matters. Different influences were reported on the legal decisions of the government to offer insights to policymakers in tourism governance. Subsequent study could examine the conflicts of interest among stakeholders.

Factors influencing employers' support for employees with acquired brain injuries or mental illness to return to- and stay in work: A qualitative systematic review.

People with acquired brain injuries (ABIs) often experience residual limitations and co-morbid mental illnesses that restrict work participation. Employers are key in enabling successful return-to-work and job retention. This review aimed to explore employers' perspectives of factors influencing their support for people with ABIs and/or mental illness to return to- and stay in work. Review questions focused on barriers and facilitators to their support, and contextual characteristics present at the time. Five databases were searched from October 2010 until November 2023 for relevant qualitative studies published in English. Findings from included studies (N = 25) were synthesised using thematic synthesis. Included studies focused on employees with ABI or mental illness, rather than dually diagnosed ABI and mental illness. Employers' support was influenced by their awareness/knowledge of- and attitudes towards the employee's condition/illness; their skills and experience in supportive strategies; factors related to provision of work accommodations; and stakeholder influence. Similarities and differences in influential factors were observed across the ABI and mental illness literature. Contextual characteristics related to organisational characteristics, cultural taboo, and involvement of certain stakeholders. ABI survivors (with and without co-morbid mental illness) and their employers may benefit from specialist support and resources to guide them through the return-to-work process. Further research is needed to investigate employers' knowledge of ABI and mental illness and supportive strategies. Exploration of the influence of other stakeholders, socio-demographic characteristics, and contextual factors on employers' return-to-work and retention support for ABI survivors with co-morbid mental illness is warranted.

Stakeholders Engagement And Performance of Non-Governmental Organizations In Ethiopi

Purpose of the study: The objective of the study was to examine the influence of stakeholders’ engagement on the performance of NGOs in Ethiopia. Methodology: The study utilized a mixed-methods approach (descriptive survey and correlational research designs) to collect quantitative data using a survey questionnaire. The study’s unit of analysis was the local NGOs, while the units of observation were the CEOs and board chairpersons of the sampled organizations. The systematic sampling technique and SPSS aided in data analysis. Suitable responses for analysis were received from 475 out of 654 questionnaires distributed. Among these, there were 276 responses from CEOs and 199 from board chairpersons. Main Findings: Stakeholders’ engagement influenced performance. However, there is a moderate level of stakeholders’ engagement among NGOs in Ethiopia. Research limitations/implications: The findings were cross-sectional and can be generalized to local NGOs in Ethiopia. Therefore, future studies should consider a wider scope in terms of period and include other international NGOs in Ethiopia and those outside Ethiopia. Evaluation was also done based on internal stakeholders; hence, future studies should also consider views from external stakeholders. Conclusions: The study reveals that stakeholders’ engagement significantly positively influences the performance of local NGOs in Ethiopia. It has also been established that there is a moderate level of stakeholders’ engagement among NGOs in Ethiopia. These findings provide insights for enhancing stakeholders’ engagement among the local NGOs in Ethiopia and offer recommendations for future research. Novelty/originality of the study: This study offers useful insights into existing knowledge by investigating the relationship between stakeholders’ engagement and the performance of NGOs in Ethiopia. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for NGOs, policymakers, academicians, and other stakeholders, enabling them to develop effective strategies for stakeholder engagement that can enhance the performance and impact of NGOs.

The TEnSE approach to assess the nudge of stakeholders in the choice of thermal insulation materials

The buildings’ energy efficiency and the energy poverty can be improved through the implementation of active and/or passive retrofit solutions. The thermal insulation of building envelope is one of the most employed retrofit solutions. Several thermal insulation materials are currently available in the building market. However, the choice of a specific material can depend on an ensemble of requirements ascribed to four domains – Technical (T), Environmental (En), Safety (S) and Economic (E). The TEnSE approach is here proposed to investigate the influence of specific stakeholders or nudgers in the selection of thermal insulation materials for building retrofit. It is a three-step approach, that starts from a) the identification of a set of alternatives and decision criteria, b) the assignation of parameters and their normalization, and c) the definition of a weights’ matrix and calculation of the Stakeholders’ Score. As an example, here, the TEnSE is used to study the influence of stakeholders in the choice of the most used thermal insulation materials in three countries of the European Economic Area. The TEnSE approach can be used beyond a products’ score tool, as experts in social sciences and climate/energy policies could depict what are the decisional patterns of public, private, and people to enhance the green awareness and fill the legislative and political gap towards this topic.

Stakeholder mapping in sustainable renewable energy development in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia

This study investigates the players involved in developing renewable energy in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, considering the insufficient contribution of renewable energy in 2021, which stood at 11.5% in contrast to the government’s set objectives of 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. The research methodology encompasses primary data gathering methods, namely interviews conducted with stakeholders who have been selected using the Delphi Stakeholders process. Additionally, secondary data will be incorporated into the study. The findings revealed a disparity in the influence and significance of stakeholders, wherein four primary stakeholders, namely the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, West Sumatra Provincial Energy and Mineral Resources Agency, PLN, and Pertamina, exhibited substantial influence and high levels of importance. Conversely, most other stakeholders demonstrated relatively low levels of importance. In summary, it is imperative to enhance involvement, transparency, and collaboration to effectively tackle these disparities and foster the advancement of sustainable renewable energy initiatives within the area.

Structuring and determining the influence of stakeholders on the innovation ecosystem

In this paper, criteria for the distribution of stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem (IE), such as subsystems, functional features and positions, are formed. Stakeholder matrices and maps have been constructed for monitoring and identifying trends in changes in the rank of stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem. According to the conducted calculations, in addition to quantitative calculations, their qualitative assessments were provided according to linguistic sets. In the process of research, the method of constructing membership functions of discrete fuzzy sets, as cognitive modeling, was used to determine the influence of cause-and-effect relationships. The elements of the matrix of mutual influences of the cognitive map were expertly formed in the modeling process. The purpose of the paper is to identify the stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem, structure them by subsystem categories, sphere and level of influence, to model the interaction of stakeholders within the innovation ecosystem. Understanding the systemic roles and interactions of stakeholders is critical to gaining a more accurate and detailed view of their contributions. A purposeful approach to building an innovative ecosystem allows you to form stakeholders to ensure their effective interaction.

STAKEHOLDERS’ INVOLVEMENT AND PROJECT OWNERSHIP IN SELECTED DUAL TRAINING PROJECTS IN RWANDA

Projects are designed to achieve specific results, affecting people or organizations. However, project sustainability beyond the donor funding emerged as an important challenge to many projects across the world due to limited ownership of stakeholders. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of stakeholders’ involvement on the ownership of project. A descriptive research design and a structured questionnaire were adopted. The study targeted 7 dual training projects with a total number of the 67 stakeholders, 62 managers accepted to participate in this study (92.5% response rate). The data were analysed using the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). Findings indicated that the adjusted R2 is 0.723 representing 72.3% indicated that the stakeholders’ involvement contribute to increased ownership (F-test 40.811; p-value = 0.000); thus the null Hypothesis stating that there is no significant influence of the involvement of stakeholders on the ownership of the project cannot be accepted. The conclusion is that stakeholders’ involvement has a significant effect on the ownership of the project by the direct stakeholders. It is recommended that project managers actively involve stakeholders in project processes to increase the stakeholders’ level of ownership of the project.

The article examines the integration and diversification processes of corporate associations, which are a difficult task and require a balanced approach to economic management and innovation. Economic strategies and risks of innovative management in the context of integration and diversification processes of corporate associations are considered.The stages of the formation of a comprehensive strategy for managing the development of the enterprise, which combines diversification and integration approaches based on deterministic-resultative technology, are defined and described. Expected results to be achieved at each stage of strategy implementation are specified. The importance of introducing a separate component at the stage of assessing the influence of stakeholders on the development of the enterprise is argued. This decision is aimed at obtaining the maximum synergistic effect from diversification and integration development, in particular through the management of the influence of interested parties. It is shown that this approach contributes to the optimal arrangement of the strategic pyramid for the development of an effective strategic set of development management of the enterprise, especially in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction.It is proposed to implement the process of forming a comprehensive strategy for managing the development of a corporate enterprise, which takes into account the neo-technological conditions of reproduction and is based on a general scientific approach to the creation of deterministic-resultative technology. The obtained research results will be useful for corporate enterprises when choosing a comprehensive strategy for managing their development in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction. By creating asynergistic strategic set based on the strategic pyramid for enterprises, it becomes possible to choose the right direction of development and ensure higher efficiency of building their potential with the help of optimally effective interaction of business units

Do firms walk the talk when economic uncertainty is high?

The growing influence of stakeholders and unprecedented emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) have significantly changed the way firms operate. To seek legitimacy from stakeholders, firms might implement CSR measures in true essence while others might turn to CSR decoupling (i.e., higher CSR disclosure than performance), which is detrimental to the firm and stakeholders, specifically when facing high economic uncertainty. Using a large dataset of U.S. firms listed between 2002 and 2019, we examine how economic policy uncertainty (EPU) impacts CSR decoupling. Our findings show that EPU and CSR decoupling are positively and significantly associated, suggesting that firms do not walk the talk when economic uncertainty is high. These results expand legitimacy theory by suggesting that corporations use CSR disclosure as a façade to seek legitimacy from stakeholders when faced with high uncertainty. Interestingly, female directors, who are associated with higher ethicality, acquit themselves well when uncertainty is high: gender-diverse boards play a significant role in moderating policy uncertainty's adverse impacts on CSR decoupling. These findings are robust to different regression models, subsample analysis, and endogeneity issues.

Navigating Physical Activity Promotion and Policy in the Post-COVID-19-Pandemic Era.

There is limited evidence on the priorities and opportunities associated with promoting population physical activity (PA) participation for the post-COVID-19-pandemic future. This study assessed government-led PA promotion efforts before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with post-COVID-19-pandemic priorities and recommendations. Two separate cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2023. Survey 1 was targeted at the Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA!) Country Contacts. Survey 2 also included key international informants representing influential stakeholders in PA policy implementation. There were 68 respondents to Survey 1, collectively representing 61 countries. An additional 37 people, including representatives from 14 key international stakeholders responded to Survey 2. Eighty-two percent of countries had national PA policies. COVID-19 widely disrupted PA policy implementation. Less than 40% of countries integrated PA into their COVID-19 response plan and more than 75% reported policies that restricted PA participation. Although most respondents indicated that government PA priorities did not change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one in five countries reported that cross-sectoral partnership had become more important during this period. Less than a third of postpandemic governments reported as highly engaged despite the widespread proliferation of PA policies and plans prior to the pandemic. There were variations according to country, region, and income. Elevating PA promotion on the public health agenda is crucial for the post-COVID-19-pandemic era. At a policy level, it is critical to focus on adequate resourcing, cross-sectoral partnerships, integrated interventions, and inequities in participation. These factors have become increasingly important in the postpandemic PA policy landscape.
