In the early Republican period of Turkey transformation of the rural areas occurred in a development programme that involved peasants. On the one hand, rural lifestyle was idealized in the nationaland cultural context. Also, the Turkish peasantry was considered as a significant labour resource for the agriculture-based economy. On the other hand, policies aimed to control the rural population in the newsettlements, which were forms of internal colonization practiced especially during the second half of 1930s. Starting from this point ofview, the new rural settlements, built from 1934 to the end of 1930s, emerged significant examples to explain the Republican programme tomodernize the village community under a united Turkish identity, even incompletely diverse localities. This paper aims to re-open the discussion of Turkey’s nation-building and modernization process from a perspective projected to the rural ideals, specifically to the Turkish village. It seeks to demonstrate how the policies of early Republican authority controlled rural Turkey in economic and socio-cultural terms,and altered the environment of the village community. It particularly focuses on the elaboration of ideas in architectural implementationduring the early Republican period of Turkey. Consequently, this paperintroduces the new rural settlements, emerging in the late 1930s inTurkey, pointing to their values as the historical monuments in Turkey’sarchitectural culture.

Penyebaran wabah COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease Tahun 2019) yang bermula di bulan Desember 2019 dari salah satu negara di Asia semakin meluas dan berskala pandemi telah mencapai hingga ke hampir di seluruh belahan dunia. Di Indonesia penyebaran COVID-19  ini telah menularkan hingga mencapai 307.120 orang, dengan korban meninggal sebanyak 11.253 jiwa (BNPB, 2020b). Situasi ini menggambarkan bahwa penyebaran virus corona adalah secara masif dan dengan korban jiwa yang besar. Hingga saat ini belum ada pengobatan yang dapat menyembuhkan virus corona ini. Penyebaran COVID-19 ini semakin meluas hingga ke seluruh wilayah di Indonesia, dan tidak terkecuali di wilayah pedesaan. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh masyarakat desa adalah kurangnya kepedulian masyarakat terhadap pandemi COVID-19 dan protokol kesehatan yang telah ditetapkan pemerintah sebagai upaya dalam memutus rantai penyebaran virus corona. Di satu sisi masyarakat desa berupaya untuk dapat mempertahankan ekonomi keluarganya dengan tetap melakukan aktivitas di luar rumah walaupun dengan risiko yang besar. Melihat situasi ini maka tergerak keinginan untuk melakukan program bakti sosial dengan tujuan sebagai salah satu bentuk kepedulian dan realisasi dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat khususnya di pedesaan. Kegiatan dalam upaya bersama masyarakat untuk memperkokoh mindset masyarakat terhadap pencegahan penyebaran COVID-19 adalah melalui pembuatan spanduk himbauan di beberapa lokasi yang sering dilewati masyarakat, penyemprotan disinfektan ke rumah-rumah warga, penempelan stiker, dan sosialisasi protokol kesehatan sebagai wujud dari mengubah mindset masayarakat yang masih belum percaya. Seluruh kegiatan ini mendapatkan dukungan dan antusiasme masyarakat desa yang berjumlah 2.325 jiwa serta mampu mengubah mindset sebelumnya. The spread of the Coronavirus Diseases 2019 called the COVID-19 outbreak, which began in December 2019 from one of the countries in Asia. That is increasingly widespread, and the pandemic scale has reached almost all parts of the world. In Indonesia, the spread of COVID-19 has infected up to 307,120 people, with 11,253 deaths (BNPB, 2020b). This situation illustrates that the spread of the coronavirus is massive and with enormous casualties. Until now, no treatment can cure this coronavirus. COVID-19 is increasingly spreading to all regions in Indonesia, and rural areas are no exception. The problems experienced by rural communities are the lack of public awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic and the health protocols that the government has set to break the chain of the spread of the coronavirus. On the one hand, the village community strives to maintain the family's economy by carrying out activities outside the home even though it is at significant risk. Seeing this situation, the desire to carry out social service programs moved to concern and realization of community service activities, especially in rural areas. Activities in a joint effort with the community to strengthen the community's mindset towards preventing the spread of COVID-19 are through the making of appeal banners in several locations that are often passed by the community, spraying disinfectants into people's homes, sticking stickers, and socializing health protocols as a form of changing the mindset of people who still do not believe it. All of these activities received the support and enthusiasm of the village community, totaling 2,325 people, and were able to change the previous mindset.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the relevance of introducing special measures of support for the population of small villages on the basis of a generalization of domestic and foreign practices of social benefits during the coronavirus pandemic. The poor situation of small villages, on the one hand, and the relatively low financial cost of payments, limited by territory and social categories, on the other hand, led to the proposal to preserve and develop small villages with the achievement of economic and socio-demographic well-being. In order to curb the process of depopulation in rural areas it is proposed to develop a strategy for the preservation and development of small villages, including a special state policy of income for the population of small villages on the basis of a guaranteed rural minimum income. The conceptual basis of this policy can be the idea of a universal basic income with variations of conditional, selective, both monetary and natural basic income. The implementation of this approach is proposed as an experiment in small villages of the regions of the Siberian Federal District. According to calculations, 50 million rubles a year will be required to pay 437 thousand residents in 5.8 thousand rural settlements of the regions of the Siberian Federal District, or 0.65 % of GRP. As a result, it is expected to reduce excessive income inequality, improve the demographic situation and increase employment. The research is based on the method of dialectical knowledge of processes and phenomena. When studying the issues of the state and trends of changes in the situation of small rural settlements, monographic, abstract-logical and economic-statistical methods were used.

AbstractCultural heritage can play a very important role in local and regional development with economic and social effects. The European Union (EU) outlined a specific measure that is aimed at the protection and development of rural heritage within rural development policy in the programming period of 2007–2013. The main aim of this paper is to assess economic and social impacts of projects supported by EU Rural Policy in the Czech Republic during the period of 2007–2013. The implemented projects were located mainly in peripheral rural areas, both near to borders and in inner peripheries, which means that the measure was geographically well targeted. The results of the measure contribute to the restoration and reconstruction of historical monuments, churches, cemeteries and small sacral monuments which create an environment in rural settlements. This environment is very important for the community life and strengthening local identity. In the field of economic development, the results of this measure demonstrate only limited effects in supported villages.

Desertification is in the process of disappearance ten thousand villages, which continues its devastating pace. The article addressed the issue of the revival of Russian villages, construction, and upgrading of rural settlements based on the realization of the Federal program "sustainable development of rural territories in the years 2014-2017 and for the period up to 2020". Revival and construction of rural settlements today mainly involves the development of agricultural holdings on the basis of which will be established equipped agricultural town. Any country associated with a particular way of perceiving not only significant monuments of its culture and architecture but also the types of rural settlements. The village is not a business project; and thelifestyle of a Russian man, a certain way of all cultural, social and economic relations. Currently, the increase of rural settlements and revitalizing rurallife is happening on several fronts: a) building settlements with agro holdings; b) farms; c) creating few ecovillage; d) Renaissance village through the townspeople-truckers as a new phenomenon. Types of rural settlements in Russia are very diverse. They are, first and foremost, thelandscape of the countryside, the direction of agricultural production, ethnic features. In residential areas with recreational and cultural potentials, farms should be promoted and personal subsidiary farms, which will focus on quality and a variety of agricultural products.

Indonesia needs to have social capital so that groups living in a society consisting of approximately 500 ethnic groups can unite. Every ethnicity has the potential to maintain its culture and territory. Moreover, Indonesia is a country where most of the population lives in rural areas and only a small part lives in urban areas. With the lack of economic development and education in the rural villages, the information flowing in the villages is not as fast and significant as in the cities. Even the da'i (preachers) have to fight harder to gain trust, so that they can provide precise and accurate religious information to the village community. This study discusses deeper on how Social Capital communication as a cultural da'wah can touch the community, especially in rural areas, to absorb religious information properly and correctly. This case study employs literature review method in collecting the data. The descriptive approach employed in this study also helps investigate the status of the existing factors and then looks at the relationship between one factor and another. Human resources or human capital is a very important and strategic capital in the life of a community organization. This is especially in terms of how a preacher as a communicator can convey his da'wah message to the village community, with a cultural and belief approach. Such way of communication is what makes the village communities easier to accept the da'wah activities since they are based on trust, mutual understanding and shared values. In addition, the communicators also convey all information about religion according to the existing culture and beliefs.

This work presents a VSAT based approach for extending mobile communication access to rural communities in developing countries using VSAT and satellite technology. The rural areas are clustered into village community cells with each cluster being served by a non regenerative bidirectional repeater system. The telecommunication technology of choice is the GSM standard. Traffic from the rural areas is collated together at the access point which serves as an interface between the village community cells and the satellite. The access points perform a frequency translation moving the signal from the GSM band to the satellite band at the transmitter and vice versa at the receiver. The system maximizes the advantage of satellite communication technology over other types in linking remote areas to urban centers that are geographically far apart. The satellite then links the village cell to the operator’s network via a dedicated BTS in the urban area. The system has the advantage of being modular, scalable and solar powered due to the low traffic from rural areas.

The autonomy of village government offers an important role in the development of rural areas. The village government can serve as a governmental axis, which directly shapes and governs people on daily basis. Thus, national development is inseparable from the devotion of village government. Nevertheless, there are still many problems faced by the village community, which until now cannot be completely solved. These problems ranging from the limited ability of the village government in carrying out its functions and roles, slow growth and social change in village, the tendency of rural communities to passively involve in social and economic change to dependence on parties outside the village area. It is thus imperative that the implementation of an effective evaluation process of village government must be explored and strengthened. This is research is conducted to answer “how to evaluate the village government in order to achieve autonomous and prosperous village.” This research use descriptive qualitative approach, in order to interpret facts by accurately describing the nature of certain group or individual phenomena derived from the findings. It finds that Permendagri No. 81/2015 as the focal regulation on the development of village government regulates the evaluation process of village government into eight process: (1) self-evaluation, (2) assessment, (3) analysis, (4) validation, (5) review, (6) clarification, (7) ranking, and (8) ministerial decree if needed. However, the research finds that in several indicators, there need to be some improvement or a more detailed set of sub-indicators that specifically address the diversity of village’s characteristics.
