PKM Pengembangan Desa Wisata Berbasis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Menuju Kemandirian Ekonomi Desa di Kabupaten Gresik

The development of the country through tourism development is currently a priority program for the central and regional governments. This is not unusual considering the country's economic condition which has experienced a decline after the Covid pandemic over the last two years. The development of tourism villages carried out by the government of Sekapuk Village, Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency is one part of the village government's plan to improve the community's economy. The main problem currently being faced is the lack of skills and productivity of community micro, small and medium enterprises as well as the management of PIRT and the legality of MSME products. that has been produced. Empowerment with the title development of tourism villages based on community empowerment towards economic independence aims to 1) alleviate community poverty through sustainable development of community micro, small and medium enterprises, 2) assist in analyzing the potential and realization of micro, small and medium enterprises oriented towards community empowerment towards economic independence. The approach used in this empowerment is a collaborative PAR (Participatory Action Research) approach between researchers and the community to formulate joint problems, plan and carry out joint actions to solve existing problems in a sustainable manner.

Embedding co-production of nature-based solutions in urban governance: Emerging co-production capacities in three European cities

This paper seeks to understand how co-production can become embedded as a collaborative governance practice by which city governments plan, deliver and steward nature-based solutions. To these ends, the paper analyses how policy officers manifest capacities for co-production in three European cities – Genk (Belgium), Glasgow (United Kingdom) and Poznań (Poland) – while experimenting with co-production to develop and scale nature-based solutions. Co-production capacities include conditions and activities to (1) create space for co-production, (2) safeguard inclusive and legitimate co-production, and (3) link co-production processes and results to contexts. The results demonstrate how policy officers in the three cities have mobilised and created resources, skills, institutional support and partnerships to implement diverse processes to co-produce nature-based solutions. While these conditions mark starting changes in urban governance, engaging with and embedding co-production causes tensions between the dynamic and diffuse nature of co-production and existing formal governance settings and processes. Lessons for strengthening the capacities to embed co-production as a collaborative governance practice in nature-based solutions planning, delivery and stewardship are: (1) embedding a tailor-made approach for inclusive co-production to meaningfully engage diverse actors in place-based settings, (2) embedding open-ended co-production with long-term benefits, and (3) embedding new relations and roles to sustain co-production.

Impact of Fiscal Policy Measures on the Control of Inflation in Nigeria

Fiscal policy is one of the public sector tools used in the pursuit of these macro-economic goals. Fiscal policy could then be said to be an embodiment of all government plans aimed at achieving desired macro-economic goals, without directly altering the level of money supply. Nigeria, like most other Third World Countries, is committed to the achievement of a range of economic objectives such as high level of employment, rapid economic development, equitable distributions as well as reasonable price stability. However, the problem of rising prices has been particularly acute in recent years and has not responded to monetary and fiscal measures. In particular, it is becoming increasingly evident that we cannot count on maintaining the desirable level of economic development and simultaneously achieving reasonable price stability (Tomori, S., 1982). It is in realization of this fact that emphasis is on highlighting the various fiscal policy measures with respect to the problem of inflation. Furthermore, a sound study of the effects of various fiscal policy measures on the control of inflation is necessary in the bid to determine the appropriate policy mix required for dealing with the problem.

An Analysis of National Position, Opportunity, and Challenge of Indonesia’s Nuclear Program to Support Net-Zero Emissions by 2060

Coal contributed 303 million tons of CO2 (49% of total emissions) in Indonesia in 2021. The Indonesian government plans to retire all coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. Nuclear power plants (NPPs) have low CO2 emissions. This research aims to analyze the status of the nuclear program and examine the opportunities and challenges of NPPs in supporting net-zero emissions. The method used is a literature study of national positions and a simulation of the use of NPPs with the low emissions analysis platform (LEAP) up to 2060. The Business as Usual (BaU) scenario still relies on CFPPs. The retired CFPP scenario consists of NPP utilization of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. It was found that the national position of Indonesia is in phase 1 (considering), because legally there is no policy on the use of NPPs in laws, the National Development Plan, or energy policies. A Nuclear Energy Program Implementation Organization (NEPIO) has not yet been established. The simulation results conclude that with limited renewable energy potential, NPPs have the opportunity to fulfill electricity production needs and reduce CO2 emissions significantly. The challenge of using NPPs is the increasing production and investment costs of electricity that come along with the increase in the use of NPPs.

Community Health Nursing Education in Austria-The Need for Competences in Planning, Management and Collaboration: A Problem-Centered Qualitative Study.

(1) Background: The Austrian health care system is extremely fragmented. Primary care is mainly provided by self-employed GPs. Other health professionals are rarely integrated into primary care. But, according to the political plans of the Austrian government, a system of community nurses and community health nurses should be implemented and several pilot projects have already been started. (2) Objective: The present study explores the skills and competences needed in the planning, management and collaboration for the change in the system and gives recommendations for community health nurse education in Austria. (3) Methodology: Fifteen qualitative, problem-centered interviews were conducted with experts in the field of community health nursing and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. (4) Results: The skills and competences often and widely mentioned are interprofessional collaboration, cooperation with other actors, systems thinking, project and change management, and basic management skills, including strategic planning, communication, accounting and finance. Areas such as health planning and lobbying are also highlighted. The main competences are broken down into subcompetences, making it possible to create a detailed competence grid. Competences in planning, management and collaboration are particularly important in the initial stages of the first implementation of a community health nursing system. (5) Conclusions: Skills and competences in these areas occupy a central position. A multilayered breakdown of these competences is required in order to create a targeted requirements profile. Due to the small-scale fragmentation of the Austrian health care system, collaboration and coordination are more difficult and costly, but all the more important. The aforementioned skills and competences represent an essential expansion of nursing education in Austria.

The Governance of Childhood Vaccination Services in Crisis Settings: A Scoping Review.

The persistence of inadequate vaccination in crisis-affected settings raises concerns about decision making regarding vaccine selection, timing, location, and recipients. This review aims to describe the key features of childhood vaccination intervention design and planning in crisis-affected settings and investigate how the governance of childhood vaccination is defined, understood, and practised. We performed a scoping review of 193 peer-reviewed articles and grey literature on vaccination governance and service design and planning. We focused on 41 crises between 2010 and 2021. Following screening and data extraction, our analysis involved descriptive statistics and applying the governance analysis framework to code text excerpts, employing deductive and inductive approaches. Most documents related to active outbreaks in conflict-affected settings and to the mass delivery of polio, cholera, and measles vaccines. Information on vaccination modalities, target populations, vaccine sources, and funding was limited. We found various interpretations of governance, often implying hierarchical authority and regulation. Analysis of governance arrangements suggests a multi-actor yet fragmented governance structure, with inequitable actor participation, ineffective actor collaboration, and a lack of a shared strategic vision due to competing priorities and accountabilities. Better documentation of vaccination efforts during emergencies, including vaccination decision making, governance, and planning, is needed. We recommend empirical research within decision-making spaces.

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.

Impact of orientation, aspect ratio, WWR on natural ventilation of non-high-rise residential building in a warm-humid climate

Due to urbanization and population growth, cities are developing their infrastructure to accommodate everyone moving to metropolitan areas. As a result, the local government's planning and development regulations for buildings are increasingly emphasizing built-up areas, which raises building density. These building development rules have yet to consider the natural ventilation potential. External obstruction, especially surrounding buildings, will have a more significant impact on natural ventilation. This study investigates the effect of the factors such as orientation, canyon aspect ratio, and WWR of the building on the natural ventilation potential inside the building. The residential complex, constructed based on the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019 (TNCDBR), is selected to study natural ventilation. Parameters like air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed are measured on-site and analyzed. The aim is to Evaluate the natural ventilation in the residential cluster compared with the comfort ventilation standards of NBC. Results indicated the impact of the building's orientation, WWR, and aspect ratio. The findings of this study intended to increase the understanding of natural ventilation potential in residential buildings and thus provide information for urban planning and building design.

Potensi Penurunan Debit Banjir di Sungai Sepaku Akibat Pembangunan Bendungan Sepaku Semoi

The high rainfall in the Sepaku DAS is one of the factors causing the flooding in the River Sepaku. The heavy rain often resulted in the flooding of residents' houses and public facilities. Less water reservoirs and unavailable sustainable drainage systems are some of the causes of flooding in the region. To address the flood problems, the government plans to build a dam to control flooding and increase the need for raw water in the Penajam Paser Utara district, especially in the Sepaku district. In line with this, research has been carried out to obtain a reduction in flood discharge due to the awakening of the Sepaku Semoi Dam. This study analyzed maximum daily rainfall data from the past decade, land cover and soil types, and flood discharge using HEC-HMS with validated results. The next step is the analysis of the flood water's high surface and the dam's area using the HEC-RAS program with 2D modeling. Modeling shows that Sepaku Semoi Dam reduces flood discharge, height, and volume. Drainage was decreased by 48,450%, flood height was lowered to 0.45 m, and volume was decreased by 5,080.8 m3. The flooded area also fell by 9,144 ha.

Systematic literature review: Implementation of anti-corruption value insertion in educational institutions

Indonesia has a serious corruption problem. All parties must participate in finding solutions to this issue, both through punitive and preventative measures. Education must have a role as a medium for building moral character. This study intends to explore anti-corruption value insertion implementation across a range of academic and extracurricular endeavors. A systematic literature review is applied in this study. This research reviews and analyzes articles on various anti-corruption value insertion strategies. This study makes use of 44 collected articles published within the last seven years. There have been several instances of anti-corruption value insertion through a variety of mechanisms. Anti-corruption principles can be indoctrinated within individuals through a variety of methods such as integration into subjects or courses, the use of teaching techniques, extracurricular activities, and administration or education management with an anti-corruption philosophy. Numerous parties have been active in anti-corruption preventative efforts. Therefore, it is hoped that this endeavor will support the government's plan for eradicating corruption.

Comparative review of Smart City from an urban planning perspective in Johor Bahru City and Petaling Jaya City

Smart cities are of great importance globally, and Malaysia recognizes this importance. The Malaysian government has launched various initiatives to encourage the ‘Smart City’ such as the framework (Malaysia Smart City Framework), blueprints, action plans, and standard, the Malaysian Standard for Smart Cities. The outlines the definitions, key principles, and strategies for adopting smart cities in Malaysia’s development. This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of smart city development in Malaysia and provide valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers in their efforts to create sustainable and efficient cities. The objective of this study is to compare the approaches and outcomes of smart city development between Johor Bahru City, Johor, and Petaling Jaya City, Selangor. This has analyzed and comprehended the trends in various features of smart city development of the cities. The study found that Johor Bahru City is making more efforts to develop as a smart city through effective governance and strategic planning for short-term and long-term goals same as Petaling Jaya City but focuses more on a one-stop center which promotes community togetherness with the governance. Nevertheless, at the regional level, Johor Bahru City has the Iskandar Malaysia Smart City Framework promoting Sustainable Smart City Vision, followed by the Johor Smart City Blueprint at the state level, and implemented via blueprints at the local authorities, which sets it apart from Petaling Jaya City. Both cities have well-planned smart city initiatives that integrate technology, energy, and the environment, including support for smart city components that suit their needs. Despite facing challenges, the city serves as a model for smart and sustainable development.

Mapping Urban Flood-Prone Areas’ Spatial Structure and Their Tendencies of Change: A Network Study for Brazil’s Porto Alegre Metropolitan Region

Historically, the main cause of urban disasters in Brazil is flooding events, which are becoming more recurrent due to climate changes and intensive urbanization, causing extensive infrastructure, economic and life losses. The formation of Brazilian Metropolitan Areas goes back to the early twentieth century, with urban expansion following river basins, as regional transportation relied on inland navigation. The transition to road-based transport structured further urban sprawl from the mid-twentieth century onward, as road-circulation axes expanded across flood-prone areas. Mapping those hydrogeological risks is important to understand their effect on the existent road-circulation network structure cohesiveness. From the hydrogeological risk assessment data, this article evaluates potential changes imposed by extreme flood events on the road infrastructure at municipal and metropolitan scales. Space Syntax methods applied to an empirical case – the Porto Alegre Metropolitan Region – allow for comparative analyses between the urban network of current and flooding-event simulations and depict (a) the urban grids’ structural transformations under flooding, (b) the road elements at risk, and (c) the system’s spatial integrity and circulation disruptions. The resulting cartography can subside governance and urban planning strategies to cope with floodings at different territorial scales, addressing changes on local–regional circulation patterns, system breaking points and tendencies of urban land parcelling on vulnerable areas.

Global analysis of birth statistics from civil registration and vital statistics systems.

To assess civil registration and vital statistics completeness for births in World Health Organization's Member States and identify data completeness gaps. For the 194 Member States, we sourced birth registration data from the United Nations Children's Fund database of national surveys, and, where available, vital registration reports. We acquired publicly available vital statistics compiled by national authorities. We determined civil registration completeness as the percentage of living children younger than five years whose births have been reported as registered. We evaluated vital statistics completeness against the United Nations World Population Prospects' live birth estimates, and grouped countries into seven categories based on their civil registration and vital statistics completeness. Globally, civil registration completeness for births was 77%, exceeding vital statistics completeness for births at 63%. Twenty countries had limited civil registration (25% to 74% completeness) and had nascent or no vital statistics data (completeness < 25%) for births. Five countries had nascent or no civil registration and vital statistics for births. Twenty countries had functional civil registration (75% to 94% completeness) but nascent or no available vital statistics. Approximately half (96) of the countries had complete civil registration and vital statistics for births, but contributed to only 22% of global births. The gap in completeness between civil registration data and vital statistics for births is most pronounced in countries with lower civil registration completeness. Enhancing data transfer processes for birth registration, along with targeted investments to elevate registration rates, is crucial for yielding comprehensive fertility statistics for governmental planning.

Peluang dan Tantangan Bagi Perusahaan Multinasional di Tengah Agenda MiC 2025 Tiongkok

Background: Since the economic reforms in 1978, multinational companies have begun to arrive, invest, and operate in China. This was because China had low wages, huge markets, and loose government policies. China is often associated with a negative perception as a center for cheap labor and low-quality products. The MiC 2025 agenda aims to change that negative perception. Besides, this agenda also plans to catch up with China's high-tech in the global market. This paper uses the neo-mercantilism theory, assuming that the Chinese government's initiation to accumulate state wealth by protecting the domestic market and supporting foreign investment. Through MiC 2025, the government plans to strengthen China's dominance in the global market. &#x0D; Purpose: This paper aims to describe the influence of the MiC 2025 agenda on multinational companies (MNCs) in China.&#x0D; Methods: This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods.&#x0D; Results: The results show that MNCs receive both opportunities and challenges from the realization of the MiC 2025 agenda, which the author divides into 4 major subchapters, namely 1) economic competition, 2) collaboration and technology transfer, 3) robotization of labor, and 4) tariff war with the United States.&#x0D; Conclusion: MNCs need to adapt and restructure amidst the MiC 2025 agenda initiated by the government to operate optimally.

Infrastructural gaslighting and the crisis of participatory planning

This paper traces and critiques gaslighting – the manipulation of circumstances by elite actors to sow doubt or confusion in residents over what is ‘real’ – as an affective experience of infrastructure planning. Predominantly observed within intimate relationships, scholars now identify gaslighting as a structural condition that manipulates whole communities and reproduces systemic oppression. We concur, extending analysis to the realm of urban infrastructure planning, and drawing connections with Rancièrian critiques of elite orders of governance. In infrastructural worlds, regulatory arrangements have been harmonised to suit coalitions of elite government and private actors whilst extolling the virtues of participatory governance. Megaprojects are legitimised by planning processes that cement monopolies and shroud elite public-private deal-making, while detractors are delegitimised discursively in political and media discourse. Yet, dissent is also pacified via participatory planning processes that invite publics to give testimony but undermine their epistemic and moral validity. This, we contend, is an example of infrastructural gaslighting. The case of Melbourne’s West Gate Tunnel Project (WGTP) is instructive – a ‘Market-Led Proposal’ from corporate infrastructure giant Transurban, backed by the Victorian government – where participatory planning was not simply tokenistic, but rather a discombobulating experience, concealing and ‘breadcrumbing’ information to publics, while undermining deliberative capacities. Exposing grounded experiences of infrastructural gaslighting, we join other critical urban scholars seeking conditions for just planning practices. Infrastructural planning regimes are consequential, but the realities they police are illusions that are as tenuous as they are politically constituted and, like other forms of gaslighting, are ready for challenge.
