What you see is not always what you get: A qualitative, comparative analysis of ex ante visualizations with ex post photography of landscape and architectural projects

In Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), empirical researchers use the consistency value as one, if not sole, criterion to decide whether an association between a term and an outcome is consistent with a set-relational claim. Braumoeller (2015) points out that the consistency value is unsuitable for this purpose. We need to know the probability of obtaining it under the null hypothesis of no systematic relation. He introduces permutation testing for estimating the $p$ value of a consistency score as a safeguard against false positives. In this paper, I introduce permutation-based power estimation as a safeguard against false-negative conclusions. Low power might lead to the false exclusion of truth table rows from the minimization procedure and the generation and interpretation of invalid solutions. For a variety of constellations between an alternative and null hypothesis and numbers of cases, simulations demonstrate that power estimates can range from 1 to 0. Ex post power analysis for 63 truth table analyses shows that even under the most favorable constellation of parameters, about half of them can be considered low-powered. This points to the value of estimating power and calculating the required number of cases before the truth table analysis.

Partisipasi pemangku kepentingan dalam pengembangan pariwisata merupakan faktor yang sangat penting sejalan dengan sifat multiaktor pariwisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penentu minat berpartisipasi dan tipologi pemangku kepentingan dalam pengembangan kawasan wisata Kedung Ombo secara terintegrasi. Menggunakan paradigma mix-method, penelitian ini menjelaskan situasi saat ini sekaligus menjangkau pemikiran ke depan terkait kasus yang bersifat ex ante. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode diskusi kelompok fokus dan kuesioner. Analisa data menggunakan metode Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) dibantu perangkat lunak Tosmana versi 1.52. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat empat jalur yang membentuk partisipasi pemangku kepentingan, yaitu: 1 Pola pikir pemangku kepentingan yang benar terhadap pariwisata. 2. Kapasitas pemangku kepentingan dalam penyediaan anggaran, sumber daya manusia, dukungan teknis dan pengembangan atraksi wisata. 3. Hubungan yang baik antar pemangku kepentingan. 4. Keyakinan terhadap kemampuan kawasan wisata Kedung Ombo dapat memfasilitasi kepentingan bersama. Tipologi pemangku kepentingan berdasarkan minat berpartisipasi terbagi dalam dua kelompok, yaitu berpartisipasi atau tidak berpartisipasi dan tidak ada pemangku kepentingan kontradiktif. Sebagian besar pemangku kepentingan berminat untuk berpartisipasi. Perhutani Telawah, Perhutani Gundih, Bappeda Sragen, Dinas Pemuda, Olah Raga dan Pariwisata Sragen, Bappeda Grobogan dan Perguruan Tinggi Pariwisata adalah pemangku kepentingan yang mempunyai kondisi untuk berminat berpartisipasi paling tinggi. Untuk mendorong minat partisipasi para pemangku kepentingan yang Temuan ini bermanfaat sebagai dasar dalam mengembangkan kebijakan pengembangan kawasan wisata Kedung Ombo secara partisipatif dan berkelanjutan.

Territorial Strategies

The new programming period 2021 – 2017 brings a new philosophy of integration - in the emergence of integrated territorial strategies (ITS) and their financing through integrated territorial investments (ITI). The aim of the paper is, based on the above reasons, to evaluate the project activities of the microregion Termál considering the implemented projects in the programming periods 2007 – 2013 and 2014 – 2020 (ex-post evaluation) as well as the readiness of the area for financial resources in the programming period 2021 – 2027 (ex-ante evaluation). In terms of methodology, we used the comparative analysis of various information sources (mainly Programs of economic development and social development of municipalities, microregion Termál and databases of the Department of Strategic Activities of the Municipality of Nitra Region) and standard statistical and cartographic methods leading to data processing and visualization. The results provide information on the diversification of obtained and expected funds at individual municipalities and the whole territory. While in both previous programming periods, the focus was mainly on building social and technical infrastructure. At the beginning of the new programming period, expectations mainly focused on increasing territorial competitiveness by supporting industries using local resources and sustainable smart energy communities.
