Structured Questionnaire

Ending poverty and ensuring sustainability are the defining challenges of the recent times. Clean energy has the answer to both [1]. Clean energy plays a significant role in human development, economic and regional development. Clean energy is that which do not produce any negative externalities. Some of the clean energy includes energy generated from sun, wind, hydro, hydel, etc. This paper discusses on the prevailing market situation and demand prospects of clean energy products (here solar operated lights) in the region of South Odisha. An empirical study was carried out through structured questionnaire to understand the perception of the respondents towards adoption of solar operated lights for their use.

The City

The future Smart City Ebreichsdorf (SMCE) is a fast growing municipality in the area of the metropolitan region of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland. The expansion to a double track railroad of the „Pottendorfer Linie“and the thereby even better connexion to Ebreichsdorf will strengthen this growing process even more. A new train station is built, located on a greenfield site, between the city districts Ebreichsdorf and Unterwaltersdorf. The existing railway track is going to be abandoned. In spatial planning approaches, it’s goal leading to locate future growth in the area of the new train station. Action options, how such an innovative growth process around the railway station could be formed, are absent up to now. The state Lower Austria and the city Ebreichsdorf are aware of this problem. So the idea of planning and implementing a „Smart City“ or a „Smart Urban Region“ at this certain area has moved in focus of considerations. An urban transformation towards a future smart city is necessary. The Smart City concept gets more and more important in the course of urban and regional development. Thereby, new technologies are used to create a sustainable environment and economy in order to ensure the quality of life for the further generations. The participation and awareness of the citizens are of fundamental importance. With a focus on Ebreichsdorf this paper demonstrates how such an impulse can be used for a smart urban and regional development. First results of the ongoing project show, that it is advantageous to involve citizens and main stakeholders as well as all political parties in an early stage. This increases the acceptance and facilitates the further process. Furthermore, the complexity of Smart City is best handled by a team of researchers from various disciplines. In the course of a scenario workshop, it became clear that all different disciplines have different accesses to the same topic. Through this a stimulating discussion and exchange of experiences has been started.

The One

The aim of this paper is to highlight the lack of correspondence between the administrative borders of the Belgrade region on the one hand, and its functional gravitational area, on the other. The paper seeks to define the boundaries of the functional area of Belgrade using several available criteria, where the key one is the body of data on the daily commuting of the employed population, students and pupils. In Serbia, commuting was taken into consideration as a criterion for delimiting urban areas, or an instrument in planning and achieving a decentralised and balanced regional development only in the most recent generation of spatial plans. Compared to the boundaries of the functional area, the current, inadequate, administrative boundaries of the Belgrade region reveal problems in the consolidation of the metropolitan region and they have a negative effect on the planning of this area, as well as on the territorial cohesion in Serbia.

Pidie District has a district road length of 1,015 Km and is divided into 445 roads. The lack of funds makes it difficult to determine the priority of handling the road, it is necessary to examine the method of setting road priority in accordance with the needs of the community. The purpose of this study was to obtain criteria weights based on perceptions of importance between criteria using 15 stakeholder respondents and to determine the priority order of handling road infrastructure in Pidie District due to limited funding capacity in Pidie District Government using the Multi Criteria Analysis (AMK) method accessibility, regional development, economic sector development, cost aspects, environmental impact and road damage as the selection criteria. The results of this study are that road damage criteria get the highest weight, which is 0.197, then environmental impact criteria 0.190, economic development criteria 0.184, accessibility criteria for accessibility 0.152, regional development criteria 0.147 and cost aspect criteria 0.130. This can be interpreted that the aspect of road damage is a major consideration in determining the priority of road development in Pidie District but not significant to other criteria. Based on the weighting and scoring of these criteria, a sequence of priorities for road handling in Pidie District is obtained, where Jalan Bangkeh - Leupu is the first priority with a performance value of 4.152
