The Accountability of Village Fund Management: Study on Villages in the Sub-District of Dempet

Village fund accountability is the responsibility of the village government in managing village funds based on the village fund management law. This study aims to examine the effect of the competence of village apparatus, usage of information technology, community participation, internal control systems, and the application of administrative sanctions on village fund management accountability. The data source is from 62 village apparatus respondents from 16 villages in the Dempet sub-district. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression. The results of this study show that the competence of village apparatus, community participation, internal control systems, and the application of administrative sanctions have a significant positive effect on the accountability of village fund management. Meanwhile, the usage of information technology does not impact village fund management's accountability.

Dual driving forces for corporate environmental responsibility performance: The synergistic effects of government environmental regulation and market multi-agent green supervision

The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference reached a series of agreements on implementing the Paris Agreement, empowering governments to independently establish emission reduction goals and encouraging market participants to invest in sustainable development. It highlighted that enhancing corporate environmental responsibility performance (CERP), driven by the collaborative efforts of government and market forces, is key to achieving global sustainability. In this context, this study is the first attempt to investigate the synergistic effects of government environmental regulation (GER) and market multi-agent green supervision (MGS) on CERP. The findings are as follows. First, GER, encompassing the multidimensional environmental responsibilities of governments, has not effectively spurred CERP. MGS, incorporating the green concerns of diverse investors and intermediaries, serves as a significant catalyst for enhancing CERP. The synergy between GER and MGS, involving multi-stakeholder collaborative governance, plays a significant motivating role in promoting CERP. Second, financing constraints and executives' attention to corporate environmental responsibility (CER) are two key channels through which the synergy between GER and MGS influences CERP. Third, firms located in regions with better economic development, those operating in non-heavily polluting industries, or non-state-owned firms exhibit heightened proactivity in improving CERP under the synergy between GER and MGS. This paper expands research on multi-agent collaborative environmental governance from the regional macro-perspective to the micro-firm level, providing a fresh perspective and theoretical basis. The novel findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and firms, especially in economies similar to China, in containing growing environmental challenges and advancing global sustainability.

No Longer ‘Christian’ Education: Ulama Edupreneurship in Ilorin 1995–2022

Abstract Due to its Christian roots, western education in Nigeria was initially resisted by Muslims as Judeo-Christian agenda, despite some acquiescence and appropriation of values of western education for Islamic education system. However, from the mid-1980s, neoliberal economic policies led to decline of government responsibility over education, and by the new millennium, private enterprise had become the major provider of education in Nigeria. The fear of Christianisation through education particularly challenged the Muslims. Socio-economic contingencies and prodding by the Muslim populace encouraged some of the ulama to venture into edupreneurship. Using the infrastructures of the madrasa, they adapted by establishing Western-style nursery/primary schools, running the two systems in the same space but at different times. What are the arguments of these scholars? Using the analytical lens of adaptive position-taking, this paper argues that, apart from the economic benefits, the trend also broadens Muslims’ socio-economic and political agenda.

Perceptions of distributive justice and public attitudes towards government welfare responsibility in China: moderating role of urban-rural and regional difference

ABSTRACT While current research mainly focuses on the social justice of contemporary people, it lacks attention to generational contradictions and distributive justice. This article analyses how citizens’ perceptions of distributive justice shape public attitudes towards government welfare responsibility in China. Using China General Social Survey data in 2015, it found that people upholding strong perception of intergenerational justice hold positive attitudes towards government responsibility for welfare provision, while people with strong perception of intragenerational justice are less supportive. Besides, intragenerational justice could mediate the effect of intergenerational justice on public attitudes towards government welfare responsibility. Furthermore, it reveals profound urban-rural and regional difference could moderate the effects of citizen’s perception of intergenerational justice and intragenerational justice on public attitudes. These findings indicate that a more unified welfare system should be established, and expand the spatial boundaries of social justice for both the present and future generations.

Perbandingan Algoritma Deep Q-Network dan Local Outlier Factor Untuk Deteksi Anomali Konsumsi Air Minum Pelanggan PUDAM Kabupaten Banyuwangi

Adequate provision of drinking water in quantity, quality, and continuity is needed to realize a healthy and productive society. A well-managed Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) is essential to meet this need. Based on Government Regulation Number 122 of 2015, the implementation of SPAM involves the development and management of drinking water which is the responsibility of the local government and PUDAM as the implementer. The main challenges faced by PUDAM include the high level of water loss or Non-Revenue Water (NRW), which reaches 40% in Indonesia. One of the efforts to reduce the NRW level at PUDAM Banyuwangi Regency in the Kalipuro District area is to detect abnormal consumption in customer drinking water consumption. This study uses the Deep Q Network and Local Outlier Factor algorithms to detect anomalies in drinking water consumption, with the aim of comparing the performance of the two algorithms in identifying abnormal consumption patterns at PUDAM Banyuwangi Regency. The results of the study indicate that the Local Outlier Factor algorithm is more suitable for anomaly detection as evidenced by the absence of detection errors and an F1-Score value of 36%.

Self-help and spontaneous heroism in urban service delivery in Ghana’s informal neighbourhoods: a case study of Moshie Zongo

ABSTRACT The delivery of urban services and facilities is the primary responsibility of both local and central governments to facilitate the day-to-day activities of urban dwellers. However, the financial incapacity, coupled with general institutional constraints, hinders the efficient and adequate provision of all relevant infrastructure facilities needed by urban dwellers, particularly, in informal neighbourhoods. In response, self-help initiatives and spontaneous activities of some actors have emerged to bridge the gap and at best, complement the government’s development efforts. Utilising a mixed-method approach, the study relied on both quantitative and qualitative data from 374 randomly selected households as well as key informants from relevant institutions to explore the dynamism of self-help initiatives. The study specifically relies on the delivery of waste management and water supply services to evaluate and understand self-help initiatives in Moshie Zongo, an informal community in Kumasi City. From the analysis, the tricycle waste collectors (Aboboya) through the self-help initiative collect about 80%−90% of the solid waste generated in the area which is also preferred by about 80% of the community dwellers. Moreover, about 60% of the sources of water are owned by private individuals. Again, the Wastes Department of KMA, through Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) and Renovate, Operate, and Transfer (ROT) has helped to provide and renovate new and existing toilet facilities to ensure the provision and management of liquid waste in informal settlements. The study proposes effective and efficient monitoring, coordination, and regulation to enhance this initiative in the delivery of urban infrastructure and services.

Integrated Waste Management Place and Environmental Pillar Sustainable Development Goals: Solution or Threat?

This article discusses the issue of the Kesiman Kertalangu Integrated Waste Management Site (TPST) which has an impact on the surrounding community because the smoke produced causes disruption to people's sense of smell and even threatens public health, but basically the community is not protesting regarding the existence of the TPST but rather the impact caused by its activities. This article uses a normative legal research method, by taking a statutory approach, then the data collected will be processed using a qualitative approach and explained descriptively. The Kesiman Kertalangu TPST violates the right to a clean and healthy environment as mandated by the constitution, UUPPLH and the Sustainable Development Goal's concept. It is hoped that the government's responsibility regarding the impacts that occur will refer to article 54 UUPPLH and 82 of the Job Creation Law, then the Kertalangu TPST must have an SDG concept, especially Village SDGs, guided by Village SDG number 3, environmental restoration efforts must be made based on UUPPLH and the Job Creation Law. and carrying out sustainable waste management based on SDG's principles as well as developing technology is very necessary in solving problems by comparing it with waste management in Singapore, namely processing smoke from combustion into electrical power and scarp metal which produces high economic value.

Fulfilling The Right to Health of Pregnant Women Through Obstetric Ultrasound Examination at Antenatal Care (ANC) at The Palu City Health Center - Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

The government's efforts to reduce the maternal mortality rate (MMR) through quality and standard antenatal care examinations using ultrasonography (USG) is a manifestation of the Government's responsibility to fulfill citizens' health rights, especially maternal health rights. This research was located in the city of Palu, Central Sulawesi Province (Indonesia). The research question that will be discussed in this paper is: how is the implementation of the right to health of pregnant women in obtaining quality and standard antenatal care services (obstetric ultrasound examinations) at community health centers in the city of Palu? Furthermore, from the results of the analysis of research questions, it was concluded that: a) the Palu city government has demonstrated responsibility in providing health services for pregnant women that meet standards; b) fulfillment of the right to health of pregnant women through obstetric ultrasound examinations in antenatal care has not reached the target; c) Pregnant women's compliance with having their pregnancy checked at the Community Health Center so that they get an obstetric ultrasound examination by a doctor shows that there are disparities.

Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively to achieve clarity on the issues to be discussed.Results of the Research: The results of this study show that Legal consequences arising if the local government does not carry out its responsibilities towards abandoned children based on Perma No. 2/2019 Article 3 that local governments can be sued on the grounds of committing illegal acts because negligence towards the responsibility of caring for abandoned children has been regulated in laws and regulations, besides that it is also contrary to the principles of good governance

THE GOVERNMENT’S ROLE IN PROTECTING INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS IN SAUDI ARABIA DURING THE JOKO WIDODO ADMINISTRASION

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest destination countries for Indonesian immigrant workers, where the majority are women. Unfortunately, most of them are also victims of physical torture, sexual violence and rational discrimination. This resulted in many cases emerging as a result of this torture. However, the policies during the Jokowi era are considered quite progressive compared to the policies for protecting migrant workers during the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) period with the presence of special laws, not just Presidential Regulations as were issued during the SBY era. How and why the government plays such a significant role is the main study in this research. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library study type of research. The results found were that the government during Jokowi's leadership played a big role in protecting the rights of Indonesian migrant workers, especially in Saudi Arabia. This role is reflected in the government's responsibility in various policies which make Jokowi's policies considered pro People Diplomacy. Through the 2015-2019 Medium Term Development Plan, for example and supported by Nawa Cita, during the Jokowi government, Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers was issued as the highest legal umbrella which was then also followed by other policies such as bilateral cooperation and placement systems. channel (SPSK) or One Channel System. The Jokowi government's policy is based on two reasons. First, the fact that immigrant workers in Saudi Arabia contribute the largest remittance of all migrant workers in various countries, beating Malaysia (Kompas, 2023). Second, migrant workers are a potential profession to meet Indonesia's demographic bonus target in the future. Therefore, this research sees that the government's role in protecting migrant workers has been very good during the Jokowi administration. It's just that the issue of Indonesian migrant workers requires commitment from other actors who also play a very important role, such as distribution companies or providers of migrant workers.

Pathways and Reflections on ESG and Carbon Neutral Realization

With the acceleration of industrialization, the massive use of fossil fuels has led to a sharp increase in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, triggering a series of environmental problems such as rising global temperatures, the frequency of extreme weather events and the degradation of ecosystems, which have had far-reaching impacts on the health of human societies, economic development, and natural ecosystems. To cope with this global problem, the international community has been actively seeking solutions. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement have made clear the international commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and emphasized the importance of controlling the rise in global average temperature. Carbon neutrality has become one of the key strategies to achieve the goals of these agreements, meaning reaching a net-zero goal for carbon emissions through emissions reduction and carbon offset activities. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices reflect the social responsibility of corporations and governments, and by integrating ESG principles, all parties can reduce their carbon footprints more efficiently, improve resource efficiency, and achieve sustainable development. This paper will explore the intersection of ESG and carbon-neutral strategies, analyze the effectiveness of their implementation in different subjects, and put forward specific recommendations for achieving the global carbon-neutral goal.

Infrastructure development is the government's responsibility towards the community, but in reality the infrastructure growth carried out by the government is gradual, this gives rise to unequal development in each region which has an impact on unequal road development. This research was conducted because of uneven development in Durian Village, while based on the APBDes, the priority development in the village is infrastructure. The aim of the research is to describe the roles played by the community in building roads. This research method uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach, determining informants using a purposive sampling technique consisting of 5 people. The results of research on the role of NGOs in the form of deliberation and fundraising carried out by the community are mutual cooperation, contributions and cooperation with NGOs. The role of NGOs and communities in the road construction process.

Analysis of the Construction of Rural Home-Based Elderly Care Service System

As my country's aging problem worsens, more and more attention is being paid to the construction of elderly care services in rural areas. This article aims to investigate the current status, problems, and challenges of rural home care services through the analysis of research literature. In the research, it was determined that the number of elderly people living alone in empty nests in rural areas increases every year, and problems such as inadequate elderly care services, low use of community elderly care facilities, and inadequate medical services are becoming more common. its importance is increasing. The current rural home care system has many drawbacks and disadvantages. It is recommended to fulfill the federal government's responsibility for community elderly care services, establish urban elderly care services, improve community elderly care services, and home care of the elderly, and participate in city and community care services for the elderly. Integration of medical and nursing care in rural areas.

The Bank of China: From a Turbulent Past to a Strategic Future – What Does Its Presence in Malaysia Show?

Historically, the Bank of China (BOC) has shouldered responsibilities for the various governments of China. And recently, since Bank of China is in the strategic sector of China, it has assumed the policy responsibilities of the Chinese state such as “Going Out” strategy and Belt and Road Initiative. Most of BOC’s Malaysian business only deal with the home (China) country’s international business rather than the host (Malaysia) country’s local business. Albeit, the BOC has ventured into more local businesses than before, the BOC’s Malaysia’s China-related business is not only far more extensive but also more competitive than its local business activities. Although some efforts have been taken to strengthen its local business and to localise, the internationalisation of the BOC has focused most on the internationalisation of renminbi rather than the internationalisation of the bank/company. Hence, if localisation is viewed as one major method of internationalisation, then the BOC has yet to participate strongly in that activity. Consequently, the focus on home country’s favourable support is likely to make BOC less competitive internationally. Hence, we take the position that the BOC should focus strongly on localisation to gradually join the ranks of localised mainstream foreign banks to become more competitive. Downloads

Analysis of Decentralization in the Central Government's Acquisition of Provincial Road Management

Infrastructure is a crucial aspect necessary for a state to perform its various functions. One type of infrastructure that plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth mobility of the general public is roads. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, the quality of road networks cannot be described as ideal. The substandard condition of these roads has drawn public concern, particularly following a social media post by a resident of Lampung Province criticizing the quality of roads there. In response to this public attention, the Central Government decided to assume the duties, authority, and responsibility for repairing 15 (fifteen) roads in Lampung Province. This decision has sparked new concerns among the public regarding the centralization of duties, authority, and responsibilities, which could undermine the spirit of decentralization. Based on the findings presented in this article, it can be asserted that the central government's assumption of the duties, authority, and responsibilities of local governments does not violate prevailing laws and regulations and is in accordance with them. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of the central government taking over these responsibilities warrants attention. This case highlights that the Lampung Provincial Government is not entirely capable of managing the tasks mandated by the Central Government. Therefore, from the findings of this case, it is evident that there is still a significant need for the maturation of Regional Governments in fulfilling the duties, authority, and responsibilities entrusted to them.

Efektivitas Pelaksanaan Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Lembata Nomor 9 Tahun 2015 Tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Kawasan Mangrove Berbasis Masyarakat

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Lembata Regency Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2015 concerning the protection and management of community-based mangrove areas (study in Merdeka Village, Lebatukan District, Lembata Regency). This research is empirical legal research, namely directly observing the research location to find out the facts that occur in the field. The research data sources are primary data and secondary data which are then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that the implementation of Lembata Regency Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2015 concerning Protection and Management of Community-Based Mangrove Areas has not run effectively and efficiently, due to the lack of serious attention from the government to the protection and management of mangrove areas. The inhibiting factor in the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2015 concerning Protection and Management of Community-Based Mangrove Areas is the lack of socialization carried out by the government and the lack of government roles and responsibilities in protecting and managing mangrove areas.

Migrant-sensitive healthcare in Europe: advancing health equity through accessibility, acceptability, quality, and trust.

The advancement of migrant-sensitive health care in Europe has been a topic of many initiatives and academics debates for over 20 years in Europe, yet with rather limited progress in terms of comprehensive and sustainable implementation. We argue that a human rights-based approach with clearly defined duties and responsibilities of governments, relevant public and private institutions as well as professionals is needed, in line with a sound understanding and thoughtful implementation and further development of concepts and standards for providing migrant sensitive care as an essential component of Universal Health Coverage. We suggest drawing particular attention to the interrelated features of accessibility, acceptability, quality, and trust to inform policies and practice. Innovative approaches with substantial involvement of social and cultural sciences are needed for adapting clinical care and health services to the growing social and cultural diversity of European societies.

Evaluation of Air Pollution Control Management In Jakarta by Crossed-Impact Matrix Multiplications Applied to Classification (MICMAC)

Abstract The rapid activity in Jakarta due to high economic growth increases air pollution, which impacts health problems and environmental, social, and ecological disturbances. The research objectives are to determine factors for controlling air pollution, score and evaluate the matrix of direct influence (MDI), draw a direct and indirect influence graph, and make rating and classification comparisons. The information collection was carried out by applying the Center Gather Dialog strategy to decide the factors that impact contamination control. Information evaluation was carried out utilizing the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) with matrice d’ impacts cruises multiplication appliqué a classement (cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification, abbreviated as MICMAC). The results show that the factor that influences air pollution control is high concentrations resulting from activities in the transportation sector and industrial sector. Economic growth has an indirect effect because economic growth is correlated in the same direction as air pollution. The transportation sector consists of motorized vehicle activities such as cars, two-wheeled motorbikes, aeroplanes, trains, and ships that use oil fuel, which contributes to the high concentration of air pollution in Jakarta. Controlling air pollution must involve all parties, including government responsibility, public awareness, transportation, and industrial actors. All parties should implement and comply with regulations effectively and efficiently. Air pollution monitoring activities must be carried out appropriately and regularly.

Flood vulnerability assessment in rural and urban informal settlements: case study of Karonga District and Lilongwe City in Malawi

Flood vulnerability assessment (FVA) informs the disaster risk reduction and preparedness process in both rural and urban areas. However, many flood-vulnerable regions like Malawi still lack FVA supporting frameworks in all phases (pre-trans-post disaster). Partly, this is attributed to lack of the evidence-based studies to inform the processes. This study was therefore aimed at assessing households’ flood vulnerability (HFV) in rural and urban informal areas of Malawi, using case studies of Traditional Authority (T/A) Kilupula of Karonga District (KD) and Mtandire Ward in Lilongwe City (LC). A household survey was used to collect data from a sample of 545 household participants. Vulnerability was explored through a combination of underlying vulnerability factors (UVFs)-physical-social-economic-environmental and cultural with vulnerability components (VCs)-exposure-susceptibility and resilience. The UVFs and VCs were agglomerated using binomial multiple logit regression model. Variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to check the multicollinearity of variables in the regression model. HFV was determined based on the flood vulnerability index (FVI). The data were analysed using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), artificial neural network (ANN) and STATA. The results reveal a total average score of high vulnerability (0.62) and moderate vulnerability (0.52) on MCA in T/A Kilupula of Karonga District and Mtandire Ward of Lilongwe City respectively. The FVI revealed very high vulnerability on enviroexposure factors (EEFs) (0.9\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$0.9$$\\end{document}) in LC and(0.8\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$(0.8$$\\end{document}) in KD, followed by ecoresilience factors (ERFs) (0.8) in KD and(0.6\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$(0.6$$\\end{document}) in LC and physioexposure factors (PEFs) (0.5)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$0.5)$$\\end{document} in LC besides 0.6 in KD for the combined UVFs and VCs. The study concludes that the determinants of households’ flood vulnerability are place settlement, low-risk knowledge, communication accessibility, lack of early warning systems, and limited access to income of household heads. The study recommends that an FVA framework should be applied to strengthen the political, legal, social, and economic responsibilities of government for building the resilience of communities and supporting planning and decision-making processes in flood risk management.
