This study analyzes the strategy of determining economic development planning on SME improvement in Indonesia. A qualitative approach was conducted through interview questionnaires with twenty respondents, including sixteen Regional Apparatus Work Unit, Fisheries and Marine Office lecturers, subdistrict heads, and development observers. The method used is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP prioritizes criteria and sub-criteria to increase economic growth, reduce poverty, and increase community participation, while indicating the sub-criteria to optimize resource potential, strengthen micro-economy, develop tourism potential, utilize fishery potential and cultivation, and improve institutional performance. The AHP weighting results based on competitiveness and regional development of Bantaeng Regency is the priority in policy-making for a solution. The research shows that the government strategy, based on the perception of the stakeholders, is: optimizing resources strategy with priority to maximize the resource-carrying capacity that includes agriculture and farm, tourism development potential strategy, self-reliance of community groups and coaching and management. Strategies to strengthen micro economy include: industrial control, SMEs, community cooperatives and infrastructure improvements, strategies to improve institutional performance work capacity and work ethic, and strategies to utilize fisheries and cultivation potential technological development, provision of processed industries of fishery products, and improvement of the quality of the environment.

Indonesia's most eastern provinces enjoy special autonomy status but still suffer from the highest poverty level in the entire nation. Using the Williamson index to test the Simon Kuznets theory, this study examines development equality at pre-and post-special autonomy in the provinces of Papua and West Papua. It uses gross domestic products per capita and population from 29 regencies/cities in Papua and 13 regencies/cities in West Papua to measure the Williamson index in addition to in-depth interviews with legislative members and document analysis to validate the findings. The study found that the regional development gap before special autonomy is relatively smaller than that existing after special autonomy. The Kuznets' curve is not proven in the special autonomy era, meaning that the imposition of autonomy status has led to the creation of a higher development gap in these provinces. Although the special autonomy status has prompted an increased opportunity for political participation by the indigenous people, greater challenges are posed by the lack of human resources, poor government administration, difficult geographical access and the issue of land acquisition. Continuous development initiatives followed up with adequate supervision, greater transparency and law enforcement from government bureaucrats and legislatures are recommended to reduce the inequality.

This paper articulates the STI strategy development principles and methodologies that have been elaborated through iterative processes of STI strategy development cases for the past ten years. The consultation cases include poverty traps in Nepal and Laos, African health challenges in Nigeria and Tanzania, and ASEAN global challenges in Indonesian Water, Vietnamese Green Energy, and Filipino Food, in partnership with some multilateral agencies.The iterative elaboration process has continued with consultation activities on Thailand and on Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar in planning partnership with Thailand. The principles were originally conceptualized from the benchmarking process of the Korean STI development experience. They were further incorporated as methodologies with which relevant planning bodies are guided to address individual and regional challenges through science, technology and innovation strategies. The methodologies are strong in providing plausible holistic perspective scenarios by which various stakeholders can be engaged in the planning and implementation process. But it is heuristic in nature and can be learned only through on-the-job training process. This is the structural limitation for scaling up.

The concept of inclusive development provides equal opportunities for all participants in access to the labor market and resource allocation. This concept emphasizes the equality of human capital, the ecological state of the environment, social protection and food security. This concept is fundamentally different from the standard perception of economic growth, because it has broader goals than simply increasing incomes and GDP. It rejects the position that positive results are an automatic consequence of growth; here the basic condition is human development and increase of its well-being, reduction of poverty. Therefore, it is not the result of distribution that becomes primary, but the involvement in the process of social reproduction. An alternative system of characterization of the country's position according to the resulting indicator of the Inclusive Development Index was presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In this research the methodical development of the system of estimation of the index of inclusive development for regions of the NUTS 4 level of the European classification is resulted.

The increasing cost, and demand for, household energy has increased attention to the phenomena of energy burdens. Despite this increased attention, a lack of consensus remains in pinpointing the strongest predictors, and geographic differences, that exist within the energy ecosystem. This study addresses this gap by utilizing a series of dummy variable regressions across cities, suburbs, and rural areas within Erie County, New York-a county noted to have particularly high energy burdens. Specifically, three types of predictor sets were incorporated into the methodology: a set of socioeconomic variables, physical variables, and a combination of both variable sets. The results of this study suggest that cities tend to have the highest electricity burdens. Despite the aging infrastructure in Erie County, high energy burdens were driven primarily by socioeconomic factors such as housing cost burden and poverty status. Lastly, this study explores various planning and policy implications Erie County can utilize to reduce energy burdens. In turn, this study highlights the importance of focusing policy efforts on existing social service programs to provide support to the region's neediest households.

Antheraea mylitta Drury (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a commercial silk producing forest insect of India, but it has never been experimented in Uttarakhand state in spite of the huge availability of its forestry host plants. This is the first study on A. mylitta in Uttarakhand. The goal of this study is to introduce forest based commercial rearing of A. mylitta, in tropical forest areas of Uttarakhand to reduce poverty among forest dependent people. In current study, we assessed the effect of seven forest tree species, rearing seasons, and their interactions on cocoon productivity of Daba (bivoltine) ecorace of A. mylitta in the New Forest of FRI, Dehra Dun during 2012 and 2013 and collected the data that was analysed by two-way completely randomized block factorial design. Post HOC Tukey's HSD test was carried out to compare the homogeneous pairs of means. We also carried out Evaluation Index analysis to rank the tested forestry host plants for better growth and development of A. mylitta under the climatic condition of Uttarakhand. Analysis of variance indicated that cocoon yield of A. mylitta differed significantly between rearing seasons (DF=1, F=88.24, p<0.05) and host plants (DF 6, F= 368.63, p<0.05); however, their interactions were found insignificant (DF=6, F=0.99, p>0.05). In first rearing season of July-August, there was higher cocoon yield than the second season of September-November. Results indicated that Terminalia alata fed larvae showed significantly higher cocoon yield (164.11 cocoons/300 larvae); followed by, T. tomentosa (148.89 cocoons), T. arjuna (140.00 cocoons) and Lagerstroemia speciosa (129.47 cocoons) fed larvae. Whereas, Lagerstroemia tomentosa fed larvae that was used by the first time in India, showed lowest cocoon yield (48.81 cocoons), followed by T. chebula (72.53 cocoons) fed larvae. Cocoon yield of T. tomentosa and T. arjuna fed larvae of A. mylitta did not differ significantly with each other.

Globalization has fuelled the desire for simplicity and flexibility in rules and processes within nations. de Soto (2000) calls for the simplification of rules to enable people to join the formal economy. Friedman (2005) echoes the need for simpler rules, to attract business and capital. Market-based approaches to governing have been adopted in many nations due to globalization. Recent developments demonstrate that such approaches fail. Globalization may lead to impoverishment in the absence of proper forms of governance (Cooney 2000). That is why it has the tendency to become a "race to the bottom." Regulatory measures can be costly, and the costs of doing business are uneven across nations. This unevenness is being used as a comparative advantage. Others call this regulatory competition (Smith-Bozek 2007) or competitive governance (Schachtel and Sahmel 2000), which is similar to the model of Charles Tiebout. Collaborative governance is an approach that governments could use in lieu of the competitive method. Mechanisms that enable stakeholders to exchange information, harmonize activities, share resources, and enhance capacities (Himmelman 2002) are needed. Philippine public policy encourages a shift in modes of realizing labor market governance outcomes from command to collaboration (Sale and Bool 2010B; Sale 2011). Is labor market governance and regional development in the Philippines collaborative? Or is the opposite - competitive governance (Tiebout model) - more evident? What is the dominant approach? This preliminary research tackles these questions by looking at recent data on average and minimum wages, wage differentials, trade union density, collective bargaining coverage, small and bigger enterprises, employment, unemployment and underemployment, inflation, poverty incidence, labor productivity, family income, among others, across regions of the country. The issue is studied in the context of legal origins. Cultural explanations are broached.

연구는 근로빈곤층과 근로비빈곤층의 차별적 소득 궤적을 잠재성장모형을 이용하여 실증하고, 이를 인구·사회학적 요인(결혼, 교육수준)과 지역적 요인(대도시 거주)으로 설명하고자 한다. 『한국노동패널조사』 12~21차(2009~2018년) 자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과에 따르면, 이차함수형 궤적으로 추정한 근로빈곤층과 근로비빈곤층의 소득은 통계적으로 유의한 집단 간 차이를 보였다. 2009년에서 2016년까지 근로빈곤층의 소득이 근로비빈곤층에 비해 빠르게 증가하면서 격차가 완화되었지만, 이후 근로빈곤층의 소득이 정체되면서 다시 격차가 심화되었다. 소득 궤적(시작점의 소득 수준과 증가율)에 결혼, 교육수준, 대도시 거주가 미친 영향은 집단 간 차이를 보였는데, 이 요인들은 근로빈곤층의 궤적을 더욱 잘 설명하고 있다. 결과에서 특히 주목할 점은 근로빈곤층의 소득변화율과 대도시 거주 여부의 정(+)적 연관성으로, 대도시에 거주하는 것이 근로빈곤층에 경제적 프리미엄으로 작용할 가능성을 시사한다. 향후 근로빈곤층의 도시 프리미엄과 관련한 후속 연구가 수행될 필요성을 제기한다.

우리 사회는 교육을 통한 부의 대물림 현상이 심각하게 나타나고 있다. 그러므로 장애가정 청소년의 사회적 계층 이동은 어려운 상황이며, 이는 사회통합을 저해하는 요인으로 사회적 갈등을 야기하고 있다. 특히 문화자본이 결핍된 저소득 장애청소년과 장애가정청소년은 빈곤취약계층으로 전락할 위험이 높은 집단이다. 두드림 프로그램은 저소득 장애청소년과 장애가정청소년에게 사례관리방법을 활용하여 맞춤형 장기적 지원을 통한 빈곤의 대물림 차단을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이 프로그램은 2009년에 시작하여 2016년 현재 7년이 경과되었다. 이에 본 연구는 내용분석 방법을 사용하여, 두드림 프로그램의 효과성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 두드림 프로그램은 이용자의 욕구에 따라서 적절하게 변화되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 서비스 이용자의 자아개념 중 학습 및 성취자아, 사회자아, 가족자아 모두가 높아진 것으로 나타났고, 서비스 이용자의 진로의식 성숙도 측면에서도 진로결정성, 진로준비성, 진로타협성이 모두 향상되었으나, 진로준비성이 가장 큰 변화를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 지역별 사례관리 거점기관과 협력기관의 연계와 협력을 통해 다양한 지역사회 자원들이 확보되었다. 이를 통해 두드림 프로그램의 강점과 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

오늘날 세계주의의 시대에 점차 많은 도시들은 재스케일화의 전략을 통해 국가적 차원에서 이탈된 광역생산네트워크를 구축하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 도시 내의 국지적 지리를 보다 효율적으로 통제하기 위한 도시 거버넌스를 재정비하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 도시재개발은 도시정부가 통치제도를 강화함으로써 세계화에서 비롯된 노후주택지구, 노동계급의 게토, 우범지역 등과 같은 위협적인 공간변수들을 제거하고 이 공간들로부터 교환가치를 증식, 전유하는 세계적 전략으로 이해된다. 본 논문은 이러한 실천을 '세계도시화(glurbanization)'의 한 과정으로 보고, 특히 세 가지 차원에 주목한다: 첫째는 도시정부가 빈곤을 '고안'해내기 위하여 도시재개발의 담론을 사용하는 방식, 둘째는 도시정부가 그 담론을 제도화하여 구체적인 재개발 프로젝트를 구현하는 방식, 셋째는 제도화된 도시기구들이 재개발 담론 및 담론적 실천을 그들의 목적에 맞게 전유하는 방식을 살펴본다. 본 연구는, 경험적으로 캘리포니아 재개발법과 로스앤젤레스 도시재개발국에 초점을 두어, 이들이 어떻게 소위 '황폐구역'으로 정의된 도시공간에서 토지수용권과 증분세금수입이라는 도구를 통해 어떻게 가치를 짜내는지를 분석한다. 방법론으로는 담론분석과 제도민족지법을 사용한다. 결론적으로, 본 논문은 황폐구역으로 낙인찍힌 도시 공간들이 '공공의 보건과 안전'이라는 담론을 통해 재개발기구의 덫에 가두어지고 있으며. 이들 빈곤지역으로부터 증식, 추출된 교환가치는 외부 투자자들, 개발업자들 및 재개발기구 그 자체의 자원으로 전유되고 있다는 점을 비판한다.
