Abstract: This article offers a theoretical discussion on urbanization, nature and development and some of the links and interdependencies that connect these concepts. The focus is on some of the underlying dynamics and issues of our current development project defined as capitalist industrialization. The article illustrates the role of cities for human development and then argues that the relationship between society and nature could be - and indeed already has been - thought from a different perspective. Finally, the article discusses the transition from “campesinato” (peasantry) to traditional communities as product of extensive urbanization, as form of resistance and as potential blueprint for an alternative development and, potentially, for the Lefebvrian urban-utopia.

It is widely acknowledged that the label “digital divide” can be partially misleading, because it emphasizes a binary dichotomy (“haves vs. have nots”) and a mere technological dimension (in terms of physical availability of devices or conduits). Behind the dichotomous model, however, lie different use and adoption strategies. People cannot be described as being either in or out. Evaluating the complex relationships between technological, social, and human factors raises a number of questions, mainly related to the role of technology in social development. Moreover, we should also reconsider what is commonly meant by information and communication technology. In this chapter, I will try to introduce a multilevel model for analyzing the digital divide, focusing on effective access and new media literacy. The focus will be shifted from technology to humans. In every ICT for development project, local context and local needs should be regarded as the key factors.

This chapter explores the social and emotional development of emerging adults and focuses on how it contributes to feelings of anxiety, inability to make decisions, uncertainty, and lack of belonging. It provides information on how identity impacts mental health, particularly during this developmental stage. Various theories are discussed, with information provided on the role of the social-cultural content. The Miami Adult Development Project serves as a case study of an identify-focused intervention with mental health outcomes. Guiding questions help readers better understand the role identity development plays in risk and resilience during this “age of uncertainty.”

This paper presents methodology, early findings, possible applications of results and lessons learnt from the research study “Public libraries: value, trust and satisfaction”. The study was conducted in Latvia as the part of the impact assessment plan within the public library development project “Third Father’s Son”. The project’s goal was to improve people’s quality of life by strengthening the capacities of public libraries to facilitate better and proactive use of resources offered by free access to information technology and the Internet. In this paper, the author introduces practical results from the measurement of use-oriented value of public libraries by using information from the ecology approach and identifying the role of the public library within a context of other information sources used by the public.

The current study results attribute great importance to the role of clusters in innovation and competitive development creation. While seeking not so much the operational solutions, but the main components that form the cluster management process, it was noticed that a cluster – despite being already well- defined— does not come into being together with the declaration, willingness, initiative or the signing of the document. The creation and development of clusters is a long term process that can last for years and is exposed to a number of strategic obstacles. The experience both on a national and global level relating to the dynamics of the development of clusters show how difficult this task is, especially in a knowledge-based economy. The development of specialization and knowledge in clusters is no longer linear in nature, based on knowledge generated by the function of research and development of an individual company. It is defined as the result of a process of interaction through inter-organizational relationships, providing access to various types of resources. The article assumes that clusters in Poland after the quantum boom, are moving to the next phase of development based on improvement of activities. The aim of the article is to present the dynamics of cluster development in Poland. The research was done in 2015-2017, but the research period covered the years 2003-2016. Besides basic information on: number of clusters, year of creation, number of cluster members etc., the article analyzes cluster specializations against the background of smart specializations being developed in regions in Poland. Furthermore, the article presents the preliminary results of research on meeting management standards by Polish clusters. The research was based on PARP (The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development) project data and own studies.

Construction are increasingly needed in the implementation of projects, especially the existence of services that can control the main demands regarding the accuracy of quality, financial efficiency and time accuracy are very much needed. In implementing the Jumeirah Resort Pecatu Graha Bali Development Project, researchers focused their research on soft landscaping work. The role of project management in controlling the implementation time is to obtain a good way or technique to be applied so that limited resources can be managed so as to obtain effective and efficient results due to well-ordered arrangements.The "S" curve is one of the techniques for controlling project progress by using a combination of the "S" curve and the milestone. After looking at the schedule of plans and comparing with progress in the field, there are very significant delays in work on: (a) Groundcover work, when viewed from February 2019 time schedule groundcover work should have been completed, but progress data in the field in that month only reached 30.92%; (b) Shrubs work, if seen from March 2019 time schedule shrubs work should have been completed, but progress data in the field in that month only reached 35.86%; (c) Palms work, if seen from April 2019 time schedule palms work should have reached the final stage of work, but progress data in the field in that month only reached 43.69%. Factors causing the delay in work based on daily reports include: (a) Land not yet ready for planting because it is still waiting for civil works to be completed; (b) Delay in supply of types of plants: groundcover, shrubs and palms, because plants are imported from Java, especially in Malang areas.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia yang telah membentuk struktur organisasi baru yaitu Tim Pengawal dan Pengamanan Pemerintahan dan Pembangunan atau dikenal dengan nama (TP4). TP4 ini berlokasi di pusat (Kejaksaan Agung) dan ditiap-tiap daerah ( Kejaksaan Tinggi dan Kejaksaan Negeri). Kelahiran TP4 mulanya untuk meningkatkan peran Kejaksaan dibidang perdata dan tata usaha negara (DATUN) tetapi pada akhirnya berada di bidang Intelijen. Selain itu, pembentukan TP4 merupakan salah satu respon Kejaksaan adanya Instruksi Presiden No. 7 Tahun 2015 Tentang Aksi Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Korupsi tahun 2015. Pembentukan tim TP4 bertujuan untuk mengawal dan mengawasi pembangunan di daerah serta mendukung keberhasilan pemerintahan dan pembangunan melalui upaya upaya pencegahan secara preventif dan persuasif. Kejaksaan sesuai ketentuan Undang-undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2004 tentang Kejaksaan memiliki wewenang untuk melakukan penuntutan dan juga dapat bertugas sebagai penyidik untuk perkara tertentu sesuai dengan peraturan perundangan. Dalam penanganan perkara terdakwa tindak pidana korupsi, kejaksaan memiliki wewenang untuk melakukan penyidikan. Dalam pelaksanaannya tim TP4D banyak kemungkinan akan dihadapkan situasi rawan Penyimpangan- penyimpangan dan indikasi terjadinya tindak pidana korupsi terhadap proyek Pembagunan yang sedang dikawal, untuk menghindari hal tersebut sehingga Tim TP4D diharapkan mampu bekerja secara profesional. Selain itu, pembentukan TP4D, juga diharapkan dapat memaksimalkan daya serap anggaran Pembangunan kurang dikarenakan Pemerintah ketakutan untuk melaksanakan pembangunan, sehingga dengan adanya Tim TP4D pemerintah tidak ragu untuk melaksanakan pembangunan.    Kata Kunci: TP4D, Pembangunan dan Tindak Pidana Korupsi   AbstractThis research was motivated by the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia which has formed a new organizational structure, namely Tim Pengawal dan Pengamanan Pemerintahan dan Pembangunan, also known as (TP4). These TP4s are located in the center (Attorney General's Office) and in each region (High Prosecutor's Office and Public Prosecutor's Office). The birth of TP4 was originally to increase the role of the Prosecutor in the civil and state administration (DATUN) but ultimately was in the field of Intelligence. In addition, the formation of TP4 was one of the attorneys' responses to the Presidential Instruction No. 7 of 2015 concerning the Action on the Prevention and Eradication of Corruption in 2015. The formation of the TP4 team aims to guard and supervise development in the region and support the success of government and development through preventive and persuasive prevention efforts. Prosecutors in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 16 of 2004 concerning the Prosecutor's Office have the authority to prosecute and can also serve as investigators for certain cases in accordance with laws and regulations. In handling cases of accused of corruption, the prosecutor's office has the authority to carry out investigations. In its implementation, the TP4D team is likely to be faced with situations prone to irregularities and indications of corruption in the development project being escorted, to avoid this so that the TP4D Team is expected to be able to work professionally. In addition, the formation of TP4D was also expected to maximize the absorption capacity of the development budget due to the Government's fear of implementing development, so that with the presence of the TP4D Team the government did not hesitate to carry out development.Keywords: TP4D, Development and Corruption Crime
