BUREAUCRATIC REFORM THROUGH ORGANIZATIONAL RIGHTSIZING

The essence of bureaucratic reform is the demand for very fundamental changes to the government bureaucratic structure which has so far been seen as having many internal problems within it. Bureaucratic reform aims to build organizations that are agile and oriented towards public services with a focus on improving bureaucratic institutions. Bureaucratic reform by all regional apparatus including the Regional Planning, Research and Development Agency (BAPPELITBANGDA) of Pasuruan Regency indicates that regional apparatus are obliged to prepare organizational institutions appropriately, both in terms of size, main tasks, and functions and also appropriate for use. One of the Pasuruan Regency government's efforts in institutional reform is to change the nomenclature of Regency Regional Apparatus from BAPPELITBANGDA to Regional Research and Innovation Agency (BAPPERIDA). The type of research used by researchers is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data sources used are secondary data and the data analysis techniques used are interactive analysis techniques. The research results show that BAPPELITBANGDA Pasuruan Regency has combined elements of planning, research, and development by following the latest nomenclature. This change impacts the main tasks and functions of BAPPELITBANGDA which does not focus on development planning alone. Still, research and development is one of its main tasks and functions, even though research and development is not yet running optimally. With changes in size and function in the context of rightsizing, it can provide a more appropriate bureaucratic structure, so that the Rightsizing Organization structure can have the right function and size so that it can improve organizational performance.

Route to nowhere: assessing the failure of the Ave Basin Industrial Heritage Route (Portugal)

ABSTRACT Implemented in the early 2000s by the Ave Basin Regional Development Agency (ADRAVE), the Ave Basin Industrial Heritage Route (IHR) was deactivated without fully establishing a lasting circuit to showcase the region’s industrial history. This paper aims to identify and critically analyse the contributing factors to the IHR’s inability to create a sustainable industrial heritage circuit. Drawing insights from industrial heritage tourism studies and examining academic papers produced by members of ADRAVE during the IHR implementation to publicise the route, as well as an urban intervention in one of its hubs (Sampaio, Ferreira & Co. Riba d’Ave), the study reveals missed opportunities and challenges in the IHR’s implementation, calling for a revaluation of strategies to effectively preserve and promote industrial heritage in Portugal. The analysis highlights the impact of dominant memory narratives shaped by local political and economic powers, hindering community engagement, and discouraging local involvement. The findings extend beyond Ave Basin, emphasising the importance of more inclusive approaches that involve local communities in heritage conservation initiatives.

TERRITORY, NETWORKING AND REGIONAL POLICIES: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES OF THE POST-TRANSITION EU MEMBER STATES

RDAs - regional development agencies have a long development path in Europe since the early 1960s until today. RDAs are directed to the regions of the countries that implement it, but it also applies to the national level as well as to the level of the EU (which comes to the fore with the country's accession to full membership). In addition to the significant differences in the level of development of the regions of the EU Member States, there are also significant differences in the development of the regions of 11 post-transition EU Member States (Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Croatia). Because they all belonged to the former "socialist bloc of countries" and broke their state alliances with the former states in the early 1990s, as well as because they did not have the same historical circumstances or the same timing for joining the EU, all this had and still has an important role on the uneven development of their regions. But, RDAs do not play the same role and importance in all post-transition countries, which reflects the specificity of their regional development management systems and makes it necessary to examine the role and importance of RDAs' work. This paper will analyze: 1) the role and development of RDAs in post-transition EU member states, and 2) the institutional framework of RDAs with an attempt to find innovative transformations of the role of RDAs that respect the framework of EU regional policies.

Analysis of Regional Development Agencies' Reporting Processes for Integrated and Intelligent Reporting Requirements

Türkiye’de kamu idareleri 5018 sayılı Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanuna göre hesap verebilirlik çerçevesinde performans raporu hazırlamakla yükümlüdür. Bu faaliyet raporları, kamu idarelerinin faaliyetlerinin sonuçlarını görmede temel hesap verebilirlik aracı olmasının yanısıra kamu yönetiminin mevcut performans durumunu da göstermektedir. Ancak anılan Kanuna tabi olmayan kamu kurumları için raporlamalarda standart bir uygulama mevcut olmadığından her kurumda çeşitli yaklaşımlara göre farklı raporlama uygulamaları geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye kamu mali yönetimindeki performansa dayalı bütçeleme sistemi unsurlarına göre Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı Kalkınma Ajansları Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından geliştirilmiş olan kalkınma ajanslarındaki yıllık faaliyet raporu uygulamalarının yapısı, Entegre Raporlama (ER) Standartlarına göre analiz edilip değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada kısmen literatür taraması yöntemi ile karşılaştırmalı nitel analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Özellikle mali riskleri oldukça yüksek olan bu ajanslarda 2021 Kasım ayından itibaren iç ve dış denetim süreçlerinin tamamen kaldırılmış olması Türk idari teamülüne ve uluslararası kurumsal standartlara aykırı bir uygulama olarak raporlama ve değerlendirme süreçlerindeki güvence faaliyetinde büyük bir zafiyet ve risk teşkil etmektedir. Çalışmada, raporlama süreçlerindeki temel sorunlar irdelenmekte, kamu sektöründe kalkınma ajansları raporlama süreçleri analiz edilmekte, iyi uygulama örneği olabilecek farklı raporlama standartlarına göre değerlendirmeler yapılarak raporlamanın kalkınma ajansları yönetim bilgi sistemlerine (KAYS) yapay zeka (YZ) ile entegre edilmesi durumunda hesap verebilirliği, kaynak verimliliğini ve sonuçlardaki etkiliğini sağlamanın daha kolay olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Economic planning at agricultural enterprises: Ukrainian experience of increasing the availability of data in the context of food security

Purpose. The purpose of the research is a comparative assessment of the state of data availability for planning the economic activity of agricultural enterprises, as well as the development of a model for increasing data availability based on the established correlation between socio-economic factors of internal and external influence of agricultural enterprises and readiness to disclose information when receiving consulting services.
 Methodology / approach. The study is based on the results of a survey of agricultural enterprises’ (farms’) managers, collected based on a random sampling, the volume of which satisfies the requirements of representativeness. The results of the research made it possible to conduct a correlation analysis of the dependence model for increasing data availability based on the established correlation between socio-economic factors of internal and external influence of agricultural enterprises and readiness to disclose information when receiving consulting services. The obtained results of the analysis made it possible to confirm the research hypotheses and obtain answers to several research questions.
 Results. The study reveals several dependencies and trends in the formation of openness and availability of data at agricultural enterprises (farms) for the implementation of economic activity planning by third-party consultants/experts. A strong direct connection was established between the unwillingness of enterprises to share management accounting data with third-party experts precisely because of the lack of practice of collecting such data, and not because of privacy concerns or negative past experiences. It was established that at enterprises characterized by a low level of openness to the dissemination of management accounting data, planning work is conducted directly by managers without qualified support of experts or planning is not conducted at all. The results suggest a number of solutions to ensure better access to the data needed for effective planning.
 Originality / scientific novelty. The study concerns the problems of data availability at agricultural enterprises (farms) for the implementation of planning of economic activities by external consultants/experts and uses the method of correlation analysis to establish relationships between variables of the model. The data collection paradigm of agricultural enterprises for planning their activities has been developed. For the first time, the relationship between a number of socio-economic factors and the openness of agricultural enterprises and farms to management consulting was established.
 Practical value / implications. The study formulates a number of proposals for improving the data availability at agricultural enterprises (farms) for the implementation of economic activity planning by third-party consultants/experts, which can be used by regional and state development agencies; state and private scientific institutions; governmental and non-governmental organizations; product manufacturers; legislators, etc., when developing support programs for agricultural producers to motivate them to use more effective planning tools, as well as when determining areas of activity for the regional advisory centers, taking into account the priority tasks in the sphere of planning data collection and analysis at agricultural enterprises and farms. Further studies of the data availability for planning the economic activity of agricultural enterprises are possible on the basis of the current study.

Policy Triangle Analysis of Stunting Issues in Urban Areas: A Case Study of Yogyakarta City

Stunting reduction is one of Indonesia’s major projects. While one-size-fits-all regulations were no longer promoted, understanding the characteristics of each region imposed a strong policy foundation. Many studies had been conducted in rural areas, but the analysis of urban areas was scarce. A study was conducted in Yogyakarta City to understand the characteristics of stunting intervention, despite the high human development index, education level, and access to health facilities. This made it important to examine the characteristics of stunting reduction efforts, based on the analysis of the contents, contexts, processes, and actors involved, in Yogyakarta City, to help with its ambition for zero stunting. A desk review and focus group discussion were conducted involving four local government staff, consisting of the Regional Planning and Development Agency, Health Office, and Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control and Family Planning, which were elaborated with literature following the policy triangle framework. A total of 13 open-access official documents and dashboards were obtained for analysis. Decrees from the local government showed a strong commitment to ending malnutrition. While most intervention packages were similar to those across Indonesia, targeted interventions for specific subjects were needed to support people who were unable to be covered by general services. Furthermore, Yogyakarta City has smaller open spaces than other districts in the province, a contradictory low nutrition awareness despite high school participation, and other factors were cross-linked with its culture in the community, implementer, to the authority levels. Stunting reduction programs were multisectoral, involving not only government offices but also non-government, mass media, community, private sectors, and academia. This study is expected to provide lessons learned for decision-makers, private sectors, academia, and public health practitioners to implement good collaboration in stunting reduction efforts.

What is the experience with governance models that manage and engage diverse stakeholders through a closure transition?

Traditionally understood in technical, environmental and (to a lesser extent) socio-economic terms, mine closure and transition is increasingly recognized as a significant governance challenge. Governance, in this context, refers not merely to the legal aspects of mine reclamation or closure regulation but rather the broader suite of actors, institutions, processes, methods, rules and practices that guide and oversee mine site transitions. Governance structures, interactions and practices are shaped by power relations as well as reflecting embedded norms and values. Since the 1980s, mine closure governance has expanded from a preoccupation by industry and governments with hazard mitigation, environmental reclamation and, in some cases, economic and social ‘adjustment,’ to encompass a wider set of social, economic and environmental aspects of closure (Kendall 1992; Laurence 2006). These issues may affect workers, local and regional development agencies, Indigenous rightsholders, fenceline communities and environmental advocates, among others (Bainton and Holcombe 2018; Everingham et al. 2020). This broad range of actors and issues, in turn, has generated reactions and responses from individual companies, industry associations and governments at all levels seeking to mitigate closure and transition impacts (Morrison-Saunders et al. 2016; Owen and Kemp 2018; Hodge and Brehaut 2023).

Government response on russian war in Ukraine: Relocating business

The russian war in Ukraine replaced not only millions of people but also businesses in the safer regions of Ukraine. The study aims to identify regional stakeholders’ emergency responses in reaction to the russian war in Ukraine associated with business relocations and their impact on the host region. Employing qualitative research methods, including focus group discussions and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 25 informants (representatives of departments of economic development of regional authorities and administrators of regional development agencies), the study was conducted between March and May 2023. The findings reveal a diverse range of relocation strategies, with a significant inclination toward safer western and central regions of Ukraine, which accounted for more than 70% of displaced businesses. The notable share of relocated companies are wholesale and retail trade companies and the processing industry companies – 40% and 32%, respectively.
