The Reforming Model for Local Administrative Entities: A Qualitative Study on Amalgamation of Small Local Administrative Organizations

This article describes the findings of a qualitative research study that was conducted with the purpose of proposing the reformation model structure of Local Administrative Organization, particularly with regard to the consolidation of small and low-income communities. The research gathered information from a variety of sources, such as secondary data, reports, recommendations, and research that was connected to the topic at hand. The information was then assessed using content analysis as well as triangulation analysis. According to the findings of the study, a model for a Local Administrative Organizations structure should include two levels. These levels are designated as provincial administrative entities and municipalities. The first draft of the Local Administrative Organization Code includes recommendations for the consolidation of Local Administrative Organizations that are both small and low-budget, the promotion of sub-district administrative organizations to municipal status, and the establishment of a population and income threshold for the consolidation of Local Administrative Organization. According to the findings of the study, the legislation governing amalgamation should be revised, a clear timeframe should be established, and more research should be conducted on the growth of local administrative organizations, transfer missions, and other indicators. Local Administrative Organizations entities must be reformed to support decentralized principles and guarantee the delivery of essential public services. The consolidation of smaller municipalities into larger administrative units can enhance efficiency, cut costs, and expand access to vital public services. Nonetheless, the consolidation should respect local authority and maintain the cultural and historical uniqueness of smaller municipalities.

Local Administrative Structure of the Suba Kabul Under the Mughals

The paper gives a detail about the local administration of the suba Kabul at the sarkar level. it also gives a detail description about the administrative division of the suba of Kabul and the role of faujdar, his power and functions in this regard. Kabul from the time of its annexation by Akbar in 1585, remained a permanent part of Mughal India till the time it was taken over by the Persian invader Nadir Shah in 1739. Though it was quite distant from the imperial capital, but it was very significant for the Mughals. According to Abul Fazl Kabul along with Qanadahar served as two gates to Hindustan, therefore control over Kabul was very vital. Considering this the Mughal rulers had always given the charge of this Suba to their high ranking as well as capable nobles.

Участие представительного органа муниципального образования в формировании местной администрации

The article deals with the formation of local administration with the participation of the municipal council. In the Russian Federation, a controversial practice has developed, when in some municipalities, the charters of which were not challenged in the prescribed manner in court, the representative body agrees on the appointment of certain officials of the local administration, and in other municipalities, the provisions of the charters of which were declared invalid by the court, - such agreement is prohibited. Taking into account the special significance of the range of regulated public relations, I believe that the issues of forming a local administration with the participation of a representative body must be regulated centrally - at the level of federal law, in order to ensure a uniform procedure for the formation of local administrations throughout the state. The problem of municipal positions in empowering the local administration is raised, a proposal is formulated to improve legislation. The paper proposes the introduction of municipal positions into the structure of the local administration, the replacement and termination of which would be carried out with the participation of a representative body. Such an approach would make it possible, without reforming the legislation on the municipal service, to replace the most significant positions of the municipal service in the structure of the local administration with similar municipal positions, providing for the institutions of approval for the position and expression of no confidence on the part of the representative body. Such a model would allow consolidating the positions of the local administration and the representative body in resolving the most significant issues of the municipal economy. At the same time, the appearance of municipal positions in the structure of local administration would look harmonious in those municipalities in which the head of the municipality is appointed to the post by a representative body.

The public interests - local administrative decision - making process relationship in the countries of the European Union: comparative study

The article proposed for publication is analysing the relation between the public interest and the local administrative decisional process in the countries from the European neighbourhood area. The author emphasises the importance of the good practices in the Republic of Moldova. The local public administration represents the main attributes of a democatice society. This is the level that actually forms the good practices of democracy and these determine the role of the local authorities, which have a considerable importance in the administrative system. The tendency of the states to modernization creates the premises for the elaboration of the local public administration standards, and creates the common principles of organisation and functioning of the public administration, defined by law and applied into practice. Identifying a suitable and effective model for organising and improving this collaboration relation is the first goal. In this context, the article is analysing the structure of local public administration, the emphasis being on the relation of the public interests-decision-making process in different states of the community space. The author finds that this relation differs from one state to another, depending on the specific features in each state. The principle of decentralization and local autonomy is what underlies the strengthening of local public administrations in different countries.

Влияние российской модернизации на систему управления в Коми крае в XVIII в.

The article addresses major issues of influence of the modernization on the management system in the Komi region in the 18th century The relevance of the study is due to the fact that today in historical science there are a number of interesting concepts explaining interaction and mutual influence of all levels of government, both central and local. This refers to the theory of modernization, which allows us to identify local variants in regional management and to emphasize their alternativeness against the industry morphology. In this case, the state actively included the annexed territories into socio-economic relations and active administrative and state construction. The Komi region, as well as its neighboring regions, experienced a transfer of management technologies from the center and its neighboring regions, which resulted in formation of several local forms of management. The first one was represented by heads of administrative structures, officials of the uezd administration. Their main functions were administrative and economic, judicial and supervisory. Their sphere of responsibility varied and changed to follow the trend of strict regulation of their activities; all adjustments were made exclusively by the governor. Alongside with this first group, there was peasant volost administration, which had been operating on the territory of the Komi region for a long time. Its main functions lay in solving fiscal, land, economic, residential and other issues. Both were administrating authorities, constantly changing in the studied period. The second local administrative structure was represented by managers and employees of industrial enterprises: Seregovo saltworks and Kazhym metal works (mines in Nyuvchim, Nyuchpas and Kazhym). The key functions of their employees were administrative and economic, supervisory, and supply ones. Their sphere of responsibility varied and was adjusted by the plant owners. Yet another local model, characteristic for the 18th century, was represented by officers and heads of garrison offices in military camps. Their main activity was solution of various defense and supply tasks. When analyzing the influence of modernization on these elements of management in the Komi region in the 18th century, its progressive convergence should be noted. There was a complex administrative and managerial framework. Its formation was influenced by impulses coming to the periphery (in our case to the Komi region) from the central government.

Реорганизация местных органов военного управления Советской республики в годы Гражданской войны (1918–1919)

The study analyses the experience of the Soviet state in creating and improving the structure of local military administration bodies in the most difficult period of the Civil War (1918–1919). Special attention is paid to the importance of creating a unified centralized military apparatus of the country during the formation of new armed forces, along with the selection of ideologically aware, professionally trained personnel at the local level and strict subordination of lower bodies to higher ones. The purpose of the research is to study the experience of improving the staff structure of local military administration. It reveals the reasons and conditions for the Soviet government’s rejection of a voluntary recruitment basis and transition to a mobilization principle of an army formation with the beginning the Civil War. It is shown that staffing of military commissariats with non-professional personnel and antisocial people was unreasonable and followed by the subsequent forced involvement of former officers of the old tsar army in the organization of the military commissariat system. The author analyses the difficulties of forming military administration bodies, such as insufficient funding for all types of supplies, the complexity of delivery of guidance documents to local authorities, the lack of stable and effective means of communication, and centralized military management throughout their entire chain of command. The research confirms the importance of local military administration systematic building, staff structure development and improvement in order to ensure the stability of mobilization activities of state and military administration throughout their vertical subordination.

Examination of Legal Challenges on Protection of Matrimonial Homes Against Unlawful Dispositions in Tanzania

The Law of Marriage Act, 1971 and the Land Act of 1999 prohibit dispositions of matrimonial home by the owner without consent of the other residing spouse. Recent appellate courts' decisions in Tanzania show that dispositions of matrimonial homes contrary to law, particularly, in the form of gifts to children, sale, and mortgage are many. Based on literature and cases qualitatively analyzed, this article establishes the legal challenges behind continued unlawful dispositions of matrimonial homes. The data from literature and cases were around the following issues: a) The law does not punish violators who take part in unlawful dispositions, instead, third parties are left without a remedy (at risk), and b) personnel in local government administrative structure, while participate in disposition of matrimonial homes in practice, in law they do not feature anywhere. The article argues that public awareness on the current law is long overdue and there should be legislative reforms on areas that encourage violation of the law.

Evaluation of digital development of administrative and territorial units of Dnipropetrovsk region

The article presents and analyzes the results of the May 2019 study of the digital developmentof districts, cities and territorial communities of Dnipropetrovsk region. It is through such researchthat we can identify critical territories, local digital development issues, and find ways to overcomethem. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, information development studies are conducted only at the nationallevel, bypassing the administrative-territorial units of regional subordination. Using the methodologyproposed at the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Institute of Public Administration of the National Academyof Public Administration, allows to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the use and development ofdigital technologies in these territories. The introduction of modern digital instruments into the practiceof regulating territorial development is conditioned by the priority of reforms of decentralization ofpower and public administration, the necessity of introducing new approaches, methods and meansof forming and implementing public policy and public administration in the conditions of theinformation society. The implementation of these tools should result in an efficient, transparent, openand flexible structure of local public administration, using the latest digital technologies aimed atsocial sustainable development and adequate response to internal and external challenges. The authorsdraw attention to the need to combine the efforts of different sectors of society within the frameworkof regional information programs, where the opportunities for cooperation between government,business and local authorities are much greater than at the national level. The paper notes the lackof a clear understanding and approval of plans for the digitization of public life, the implementationof e-governance and e-democracy tools in a number of administrative and territorial units, as well asthe lack of necessary and sufficient information on available best practices and mechanisms for theirimplementation. Proposals are given for the tasks of the Regional Electronic Dnepropetrovsk 2020Informatization Program and suggestions for improving the methods of digital development researchat the local level.

만세시위의 다원적 의미와 지속되는 지역공동체 - 안성군 3.1운동의 새로운 이해 -

Attempted in this article is to newly reevaluate the March 1st movement from the standpoint of ordinary people, who were the main participants of the movement. For that task, all the protests that were staged in the Gyeong’gi-do province’s Anseon-gun area are examined here and compared with each other, with the hope of finding the true meaning of such efforts, as well as material and philosophical resources that enabled the protests in the first place.BR In Anseong-gun, between late March and early April, protests occurred in the old Anseong-gun area, the old Yangseong-gun area and the old Juksan-gun area. Apparently there was no coordination made among the leaders in these three locations. This informs us with a very important fact. The local administrative structure that was newly revised in 1919 did affect and shake the existing local order, but throughout the March 1st movement, traditional local communities still managed to play a prominent role.BR Also, a level of diversity could be found from the Manse movement that continued in the Anseong-gun area, in terms of its leaders, participants and how things went overall. Peasants, merchants, day-to-day workers, students and even prostitutes joined the movement, and they all shouted ‘For Liberation!’, hoping for a variety of things that were most important and endearing to each of themselves. Until now, a lot of researches tried to determine the presence of a nationalistic homogeneity [in terms of aspiration] within all these efforts, but in order to appreciate the diverse nature of the March 1st movement, local issues and class issues should be more strongly taken into account in the future as well.

Courts Leet, Constables and the Township Structure in the West Riding, 1540–1842

The significance of the township, and of the township constable, in local administration in the West Riding from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries is described. The appointment until 1842 of constables in manor and wapentake courts leet ensured the continuing centrality of these courts in local administration. The involvement of the principal inhabitants in the appointment and oversight of constables and other officers is discussed. Changes in the structure of local administration depended on evolving change in manorial structures and courts, even as late as the nineteenth century. Such changes were affected by the existence of overlapping areas of quarter sessions jurisdiction, and also by the expanding volume of small-claims litigation in both manor and wapentake courts baron before the establishment of county courts.

Wpływ governance i good governance na strukturę administracji samorządowej

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę kształtowania struktur administracji samorządowej w świetle nowych koncepcji funkcjonowania sektora publicznego. Uwaga została skoncentrowana na współzarządzaniu, które wyznacza dwa paradygmaty administracji publicznej: administrację publiczną ukierunkowaną na współpracę oraz zorganizowaną w sposób sieciowy. Ocenie poddany został stopień ich wpływu na kształtowanie struktury administracji samorządowej w Polsce. Dalsze rozważania miały na celu identyfikację związku pomiędzy jakością rządzenia a strukturą administracyjną samorządu terytorialnego. Jakość rządzenia ujmowana jest (za Bankiem Światowym) w sześciu wymiarach dobrego rządzenia, które z kolei jest funkcją odpowiednio ukształtowanych instytucji. Dążenie do spełnienia kryteriów dobrego rządzenia może wiązać się z ograniczeniami w stosowaniu paradygmatów współpracy i sieci.

Decentralization and agrarian transformation in Ethiopia: extending the power of the federal state

A controversial aspect of the Ethiopian ‘developmental state’ lies in the peculiar relationship between local administrative structures and farmers. This article discusses this local interface in light of the implementation of recent reforms establishing a decentralized system of land administration. The aim is to explore the discursive repertoire behind the implementation of decentralization so as to understand its significance in relation to the broader project of rural development. The article describes the local administrative structure, its agents, and how it reconfigures the relationship between the state and farmers in the rural milieu. The article presents empirical evidence from the case of Siraro wereda in Oromiya region, and makes a detailed analysis of how local officials and farmers experience decentralization on the ground. The main conclusion is that, by legitimizing and laying the technical foundation of a rural development project that relies on two main political narratives (‘equity and fairness’ and ‘efficiency and productivity’), decentralization in Ethiopia has the effect of strengthening the already hierarchical system of local administration and thereby serves to further extend the power of the Ethiopian state.

The Economics of Home Dialysis: Acting for the Individual While Planning Responsibly for the Population

Traditional medical education paradigms tend not to focus on health economics and economic evaluation. This has led to a culture in which bedside clinicians simply allocate health care resources made available to them, with often minimal input as to what these resources are at the population or health care system level. Life sustaining chronic dialysis therapies for end-stage renal disease are heterogeneous in terms of health care costs and the quality of life provided to patients receiving them. From the traditional clinician's perspective, they may be considered equivalent because there are no well-designed randomized control trials establishing the superiority of one particular dialysis modality in terms of all-cause mortality or cardiovascular events. The intent of this review is to provide clinicians practicing in the area of chronic kidney disease some insights into the concepts of economic evaluation and how it may be integrated into clinical decision making at a programmatic level while not compromising individual patient care at the bedside. An epidemiologic perspective will be used to help frame how the implementation of home dialysis modalities vary depending on local health policies in place. Lessons learned by regional nephrology care systems may be readily transferable to other jurisdictions in augmenting the uptake of home dialysis modalities where they are dwindling or struggling to grow. A high-level understanding of economic data in this area may help influence health policy in the direction of the most efficient provision of dialysis to patients while not adversely affecting their quality of life or health outcomes.

Regional development and post-communist politics in a Czech region

This article links post-communist politics with regional development through an investigation of the formulation of strategic plans at various levels. This is an important activity for compliance with procedures essential to accessing EU financial support, and beyond that, it has significance for the investigation of political relationships. The dominant conclusion is that the communist period and the post-communist transformation left distinctive features that created barriers to the emergence of the ‘standard’ EU pattern and therefore justifies continued use of the ‘post-communist’ label. In particular, this is exhibited in a disjointed structure of regional and local administration with weak cooperation between levels. EU prescriptions and involvement have in some respects accentuated the isolation of levels from each other. This article argues that the standard interpretation of the concepts of social capital and partnership needs to be clarified. Above all, it becomes clear that there needs to be recognition and acceptance of the conflicting nature of many relationships and of the bargaining and compromises lying behind a regional strategy and its implementation. The article thereby adds to the literature that has warned against some over-enthusiastic interpretations of social capital and related concepts as providing an unambiguous basis for a region's development.

Communism and Camorra in Naples

The town of Marano borders Naples' city boundaries to the north. With a population of nearly 60,000, it has its own local administrative structure, although in many ways it is part of the ``greater Naples'' conurbation of close to three million people. One striking peculiarity of Marano is that it is the only town council in southern Italy administered by the far left party Rifondazione Comunista (Communist Refoundation, or RC). This peculiarity is compounded when one considers that Marano has one of the highest concentrations of organised criminal activity (which in Naples takes the name of Camorra rather than Mafia) in the Naples urban area, historically led by the four Nuvoletta brothers – and a far left council administering a highly criminal locality is a highly unusual occurrencein Italy. This article first presents the town of Marano and its history of Camorra activity, before analysing the national politics of RC and the activity of its members in Marano, principally as administrators of the town council. It then concludes with a brief critique of the weaknesses associated with a strategy of traditional Keynesian public sector policies being enacted on a local scale, both in terms of the corruption of local and national government, and the dominance of national and international economic trends which ultimately determine many of the major social and economic characteristics of towns such as Marano.

Women in Local Governments in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT Women occupy minute numbers of political offices throughout the world. In the developing world particularly, women face a variety of barriers that limit their involvement in government. This paper reviews the structure of local government administration in Thailand, documents the involvement of women, and presents the results of a study of women leaders in northern Thailand, which provides some insights into the conditions operating to constrain the participation of women in government.

Local government structure as a spatial framework for rural development in Nigeria

AbstractRural development has attracted attention from many quarters. The present administration in Nigeria is particularly anxious to bring it about in the shortest time possible. But most of the discussions of rural development tend to neglect the vital link between it and administrative structure. This paper therefore stresses the role which an appropriate administrative arrangement can play in bringing about rural development. The paper reviews the various efforts that Nigeria has made since 1950 to derive a suitable local administrative structure. It focuses on the 1976 reform and shows how it has failed to provide a suitable spatial framework for rural development. Based on the experiences of the past and the realities of the present, some principles are put forward as guidelines for an effective local administrative structure. Finally, an administrative arrangement which is development oriented and comprehensive enough to cater for the interest of all communities is proposed.

Power, Corruption, and Commerce: The Making of the Local Administrative Structure in Seventeenth-Century Buenos Aires

T |aHE Caribbean, Buenos Aires, the Pacific coast.... Smuggling was widespread in the Spanish American world in the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries. The true dimensions of the phenomenon are still a subject of controversy, although most would agree that smuggling contributed to the weakening of Spain's control over its overseas empire. Nevertheless, such a generalization is neither evident nor valid for every region. In the case of the Rio de la Plata, Atlantic commerce was characterized by the persistence and regularity of smuggling (or direct commerce with non-Spanish powers). The relations of illegal with legal trade, as well as its articulation with the crown's objectives in the area, constitute an example of the difficulties inherent in generalizing about the role of contraband. The purpose of this article is to study one aspect of these complex relations. I will demonstrate that the crown resolved the problems of creating and maintaining its administrative and military structure in Buenos Aires by resorting, on the one hand, to navios de registro, or ships licensed to sail outside the regular fleet system, and, on the other hand, to shipments of silver from Potosi, the so-called situado. But the first were so closely associated with illegal commerce that it can be said that the crown financed its local administrative structure from the resources that the Buenos Aires Atlantic commerce, illegal as well as legal, afforded it. As to the second expedient, a group of merchants who advanced the crown funds from their mercantile activities had a part in the utilization of the situado. In other words, the crown depended on the economic practices
