This paper proposes a knowledge co-creation roadmapping tool for knowledge creation in future-oriented discussions for members of competing firms with the aim of co-creatively envisioning the future of the industry. This approach adapts the roadmapping method to knowledge creation, thus building a communication infrastructure for discussing future plans beyond an organization (i.e., participants are from competing companies). Knowledge co-creation roadmapping could be commissioned to an open industry organization consisting of members sent by individual companies interested in overcoming obstacles to development. We put our method into practice with the subcommittee of the Engineering Advancement Association of Japan and set the subject as “The Future of Smart Social Infrastructure”, a theme involving multiple stakeholders. We were able to draw up a vision of smart technology on the basis of the insights gained through the roadmapping activities. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in terms of acquiring knowledge that could not be obtained by our own company or a single industry organization alone.

The subject of this work is to examine whether the increased number of de facto partnerships could jeopardize the future of the marital institution in the Republic of Macedonia. The paper will provide existing statistical data on the number of marriages, divorces, and de facto partnerships in the country. Furthermore, it will analyze possible factors which have influenced the increased number of extra-marital communities in Macedonia. For the purposes of this paper we conducted a quantitative research with a sample of 120 respondents aged 18 to 22 years. The questionnaire was outlined to measure the perceptions of young people on marriage and cohabitation. In conclusion, the results from the respondents’ answers were used as an inclusive consideration for future projections and possible major projects.

Project Objectives

Projects undertaken in the project-based industry are characterized by multiple stakeholders, uncertainty, and complexity due to the unique nature of each project. These differences also extend to knowledge movement from one project to another. Increased knowledge creation resulting from project implementation is expected to lead to numerous benefits. These benefits encompass reusability of lessons learned, as well as knowledge of strategic, operational, organizational, and managerial aspects of the firm. By adopting a unified knowledge creation framework, firms seek tangible and intangible benefits such as cost reduction, improved productivity, enhanced efficiency, and business growth. A case study was used to identify problem areas of knowledge creation and align corporate and project objectives. Incorporating a comprehensive knowledge creation plan in the organizational memory infrastructure can be a significant stride toward improving overall project management efficiency and increasing the organization's productivity and profitability in the industry. This stream of research will allow researchers to further refine knowledge creation success models. The paper will also draw practitioners’ attention to areas where investment is needed to improve the knowledge governance process.

Running a business in the current context is a complex task. Changes and market requirements are becoming more dynamic. Given this reality it is necessary to simulate possible scenarios. Studies of scenario simulation have emerged to enable organizations a guidance on this new reality. Using a methodology based on critical variables, the simulation of scenarios extends the capability of organizations visualize their future strategic actions in order to achieve their goals. Through the theoretical framework, this study aimed to study this methodology, gathering information and presenting the main concepts related to the subject to, in the case study, apply them in the fund sources of FUNTEF-PR, Campus Pato Branco. The study found that a scenario rarely happens exactly as it was simulated, but it reduces the future organizational uncertainties. It is shown as a tool able to assist the organization in defining its strategy, at the same time,allowing a more flexible and appropriate position to deal with the uncertainty and the new, making the future less doubtful.

Single-industry towns, such as Monchegorsk, nave a significant role in the system of resettlement in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. These towns have some economical, geographical and natural-climatic specifities. In a global market economy characterized by recurring crises and market instability, social risks are growing with respect to the development of both the mono-settlements themselves and the country as a whole. Thus, during the crisis periods, single-industry cities become zones of social discontent, which threatens the social and economic stability of the entire state. The article reviews the problems of an arctic single-industry town on the case study of Monchegorsk. The analysis of demographic processes, indicators of the standard of living, the situation on the labor market, provision of basic social services. It has been revealed that the main factors affecting the socioeconomic problems of the arctic single-industry towns are the demographic problems associated with the natural and migratory decline of the population, as well as the problems associated with housing and communal services and social infrastructure. The paper introduces some solutions for the basic social problems.

Community-based ecotourism (CBET) has become a popular strategy to alleviate the contradiction between ecological protection and community development. As the stakeholders of CBET, the community’s participation in the planning process is of great importance to in order to realize the sustainability of CBET. Taking a community in Wolong Nature Reserve as a case study, in this study we developed a decision-making participation mechanism based on the participatory scenario method. Through this mechanism, community stakeholders can effectively reach consensus with other stakeholders on the planning of CBET in the future. The results showed that community participation in the planning process can mean decisions are more likely to reflect their interests. They unanimously proposed that future CBET must adhere to the basic principle of protecting biodiversity and must maximize the welfare of the community. Moreover, achieving the sustainability of CBET in protected areas requires the cooperation of all stakeholders.

Title: Architectural Conservation Perspective In Javanese Community Traditionally, Indonesian, with tropical climate, use wooden material for their building. The consequences of that material and the tropical climate is building cannot durable compare stone material. The building needs renewal more frequently and sometimes reconstruction.This study focus in Java building (houses) and their culture. In Javanese manuscripts (primbon), repairing the house is the same level with build the new one. To repair or to build the house for Javanese is not only the technical aspect (like structure or the form), but also about the connection with nature and their expectation in the future. Based on that understanding what the meaning of the conservation in Javanese culture? The subject for this study is architectural Javanese manuscripts (Primbon, Kawruh Kalang, and Kawruh Griya). This study uses hermeneutics method by Paul Ricouer. There are three steps: step one is to build the conservation understanding in Javanese culture, using content analysis. Step two is validation. This step using Ngibikan Village for case study. Step three is discussion. This step exploring the philosophical aspect in Javanese culture and compare with Ricouer thinking about „history,memory and forgetting?. The result of this exploration studies that for Javanese culture, conservation not only discuss about building. Based on Javanese philosophy that live only „stop? for drink (urip mung mampir ngombe), the conservation is a process, not result; the conservation is dynamic or change, not permanent or unchanged.
