Abstract Some important sectors influenced the increase of greenhouse gases, such as waste, transportation, settlement, and agricultural sectors. This research aimed to analyze the amount of CO2 emissions, map the carbon footprint, and analyze tree capability in reducing CO2 in 12 villages in Pedurungan district, Semarang city, Central Java. The method used was based on IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories 2006 and Ministry of Environment 2012 about the Implementation of National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Guidelines. The carbon footprint was mapped using ArcGIS software. The results showed that the energy sector produced 13.723,35 tons CO2 Eq, the transportation sector emitted 1.624,58 tons CO2 Eq, and the waste sector emitted 7.677,08 CO2 Eq. The carbon footprint map was presented in three classifications of carbon footprint: lower, middle, and upper, represented by green, yellow, and red colors. An effort to reduce the carbon footprint was planting 300 trees of ten species in the Pedurungan district.

The paper provides the results of the inventory of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from road transport in Poland over the period 1990–2017. To estimate GHGs’ emission from road transport, a standardized methodology was applied, consistent with 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and EEA/EMEP Emission Inventory Guidebook 2019, as well as the COPERT 5 software. In the analysis, emissions of fossil carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide were taken into account. Emissions of all considered GHGs were converted to equivalent carbon dioxide. Throughout the subsequent years of emission inventory, emissions of all GHGs revealed an increasing trend, except for methane. The main cause underlying this increase is the dynamic development of motorization in Poland. Thus, GHGs’ emissions were analyzed, taking into account the number of road vehicles and the intensity of their use. An increase in the average specific distance emission was found for fossil carbon dioxide (by ca. 5%) and for nitrous oxide (by ca. 10%), while for methane, there was a decrease (by more than 150%). The GHGs’ emissions from road transport in Poland could be significantly lower if more emphasis was placed on the use of fuels from renewable energy sources.

The implementation of the fiscal decentralization concept in Indonesia has completed with the issuance of the Village Law and Village Fund Program. Nevertheless, some problems arose in the application. This study aims to map the issues and to build a relationship model based on institutional theory, using content analysis and triangle approach interviews. The study concludes that the Village Fund is profoundly affected by the coercive element that is sourced from the authority of the government to regulate and supervise the program. The coercive then influence the normative in which the regulation frame and strict implementation lead to the difficulties to fulfill the administrative requirements. It then affects the cognitive element on how to make sustain and executable planning of the Village Fund Program, which leads to poor planning, so that difficult to be executed. As it is mandatory, the program is still run improvised that makes the output utilization was low.

Global climatic changes have a negative impact on the development of all sectors of the economy, including agriculture. However, the very production of agricultural products is one of the most important sources of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. Taking into account the need to reduce the “carbon footprint” in food production, a special place is occupied by the analysis of the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and the development of measures for their sequestration in agriculture. One of the main directions for reducing emissions and immobilizing greenhouse gases is the development of special techniques for their sequestration in the soil, including those used in agriculture. Adaptation of existing farming systems for this task will significantly reduce the “carbon footprint” from agricultural production, including animal husbandry. The development of carbon farming allows not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to significantly increase the level of soil fertility, primarily by increasing the content of organic matter in them. As a result, it becomes possible, along with the production of crop production, to produce “carbon units” that are sold on local and international markets. The paper analyzes possible greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and the potential for their sequestration in agricultural soils. The role of various elements of the farming system in solving the problem of reducing the “carbon footprint” is considered and ways of developing carbon farming in the Republic of Tatarstan are proposed

<p><strong></strong><strong></strong><em>The implementation of the Village Information System is essentially a manifestation of the District / City Government in implementing the mandate of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, namely developing a village information system and developing rural areas in order to facilitate and encourage the Village Government to improve and provide public services by utilizing technology Village-based Information and Communication (ICT) based on developments in the digital era, so that it can be accessed quickly and easily by the community and all stakeholders. The application of the Village Information System is expected to have positive implications and at the same time guarantee the implementation of village government to be more effective and efficient, transparent and accountable. The obligation to develop the village information system is attached to the Regency / City, not to the Central Government. During this time, the legal basis used in the development of public information systems based on the Village Information System refers to Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services, Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information , and Governor Regulation of Central Java Province Number 47 of 2016 concerning Guidelines for the Development of Village Information Systems in Central Java Province.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>Abstrak  </strong></p><p>Pelaksanaan Sistem Informasi Desa hakikatnya merupakan perwujudan Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten/Kota dalam mengamalkan amanat Undang-Undang Nomor 6 tahun 2014 tentang Desa, yaitu melakukan pengembangan sistem informasi desa dan pembangunan kawasan perdesaan guna menfasilitasi serta mendorong Pemerintah Desa untuk meningkatkan dan memberikan kemudahan pelayanan publik dengan memanfaatkan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) berbasis <em>website</em> Desa seiring perkembangan di era digital<em>,</em> sehingga dapat diakses dengan cepat dan mudah oleh masyarakat dan semua pemangku kepentingan. Penerapan Sistem Informasi Desa diharapkan dapat memberikan implikasi positif dan sekaligus menjamin dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa agar lebih efektif dan efisien, transparan dan akuntabilitas. Kewajiban pengembangan Sistem Informasi Desa tersebut melekat pada Kabupaten/Kota, bukan pada Pemerintah Pusat. Selama ini, landasan hukum yang digunakan dalam pengembangan pelayanan publik berbasis Sistem Informasi Desa yakni mengacu pada Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa, Undang-Undang Nomor 25 Tahun 2009 tentang Pelayanan Publik, Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2008 tentang Keterbukaan Informasi Publik, dan Peraturan Gubernur Provinsi Jawa Tengah Nomor 47 Tahun 2016 tentang Pedoman Pengembangan Sistem Informasi Desa di Provinsi Jawa Tengah.</p>

The Program for the protection of air quality, ozone layer, climate change mitigation and adaptation of the Krapina-Zagorje County is prepared in accordance with the Article 12 of the Air Protection Act (OG 130/11, 47/14, 61/17, 118/18). The Program sets targets and measures by priority sectors, deadlines and responsible authorities for measures implementation over a five-year period in the County. For the purpose of defining protection measures, based on available data, estimation of annual emissions of pollutants into air was performed: nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and dinitrogen monoxide from the main sectors. Emissions were estimated using the EMEP/EEA methodology and 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories methodology. Road traffic emissions were estimated using DEFRA/DECC methodology. Based on the results on estimated pollutant emissions in the County, appropriate measures have been defined for the protection and improvement of air quality.
