Public involvement in transportation investment decision making is central to accomplishing the vision of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. FHWA and FTA are striving to promote this objective in the face of several problems, some of which stem from the biased education and training of engineers and planners. The predominant emphasis of the majority of planners has been and continues to be on technical issues to the exclusion of communicative action and emancipatory interest, resulting in planners not being able to cope with the demands of participatory democracy. The basic concepts of communicative action that need to be incorporated in the education and training of engineers and planners to equip them to deal effectively with citizen participation are introduced. It is recommended that in the changed context in which transportation engineers and planners will have to operate, it is essential that they gain competency beyond just technical areas and be competent to cope with the social, economic, and political dimensions of planning by gaining an understanding of the rudiments of communicative action. A blend of all three rationalities and interests (technical, communicative, and emancipatory) will have to form part of the day-today vocabulary and knowledge base of future planners in view of the importance of public participation in the transportation planning process. An appropriate graduate course on this topic is outlined.

AbstractThe main goal of this targeted agenda program (TAP) was the establishment of an international network that would be able to advise on how to improve education and training for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN)) responders. By combining the members of the TAP group, the CBRN Task Force of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) and the European network of the Hesculaep Group, an enthusiastic and determined group has been established to achieve the defined goal. It was acknowledged that the bottlenecks for education and training for CBRN responders are mainly awareness and preparedness. For this reason, even basic education and training on CBRN is lacking. It was advised that the focus for the future should be on the development of internationally standardized protocols and standards. The face-to-face discussions of the TAP will be continued at future Hesculaep expert meetings. The intention is that during the 16WCDEM, the achievements of the established network will be presented.

It is a natural principle in the world to reward good performance and punish bad performance or violation of rules and regulations. But children deserve love because they are not bound by the law and their weakness. Therefore, it is permissible to punish children for violating the rules and regulations during education and training. But Shari'a has set limits on punishing children. Because without limits and restrictions of anything, there is a danger of extremism. It is not permissible to beat a child with a stick as punishment. However, it is permissible to hit up to three numbers by hand. But it is not permissible to beat so hard that it marks or injures the body of child. It is also not permissible to slap a child in the face. It is also forbidden to punish a child beyond his means.

The research conducted aims to obtain an overview of the education and training budget for improving the professionalism of teachers in Mamuju district, using a qualitative approach. The technique used in determining research informants is purposive sampling. The data collection was carried out with participatory observation techniques, semi-structured interviews and document review. The results of the study show that the education and training budget planning process for increasing the professionalism of teachers in Mamuju District is not yet fully ideal for implementing the five principles that are theoretically believed to be good budgeting principles in the public sector. There are many influential factors in the budget planning process, namely apparatus resources, planning documents (development and budgeting), nominative lists, budgets, and facilities (facilities and infrastructure). The education and training budget for increasing teacher professionalism in the government in the Mamuju district faces the following constraints: 1. Limited resources; 2) participant mechanisms for education and training for improving teacher professionalism; and 3) communication and coordination of related parties that are still weak. To overcome these various obstacles, interested parties have made staff review efforts to the regents, improved budgets and organized education and training for improving teacher professionalism and increasing the intensity of communication and coordination with various relevant parties.

During the early time of waterfront development, public only paid little attention to this area, but after a series of urban waterfront revitalization success story, people are starting to reclaim their waterfront. Two main values of economy and environment are always competing over waterfront’s future land-use pattern. Citizen participation in an urban waterfront development is believed to hold a significant importance since the urban development is addressed for citizens’ prosperity. However, strong public participation does not necessarily guarantee for a success waterfront development. This paper attempts to figure out what is the best scenario to make public involvement in the planning process to contribute to a successful and sustainable waterfront development. Four waterfront city development stories that represent different planning cultures were examined here to understand to what extent the participatory process contributed to the environment, economy, and social values. The findings from the case studies were reconstructed to develop a planning model aimed to best accommodate public interest without compromising other values. Citizens were invited for discussions at the initial phase. Next, an evaluation method was proposed to come up with a guideline that would guide the planning process at the latter phase.
