The gazettement of forest area is one of the significant aspects in forest designation that should be carried out to determine the legal framework regarding with the administrative and the physical status as well as forest boundaries. It is expected that the legal framework and precise forest area will support the powerful and purposeful forest management. The study aimed to find out the roles and the standpoints of stakeholders, to explore the mechanism, to identify and analyze the obstacles in the process, to formulate alternative effort in the process of forest area gazettement of Gunung Birah Protected Forest. It is expected that this study will enrich the concern on forestry policy especially regarding with the gazettement of the forest area, as well as provide the input to the ministry of forestry and local government in formulating strategies and policies in the implementation of forest area gazettement. The result indicated the stakeholders involved in the gazettement of Gunung Birah protected forest in KPHP Model Tanah Laut as well as their roles are the functionaries of KPHP Model Tanah Laut, local community adjacent to the forest area, regional office of forestry Planning (Balai Pemantapan Kawasan Hutan/BPKH), Local Government (The administration committee of forest boundary), and Central Government(the ministry of Environment and forestry). Constraints in the affirmation process of Gunung Birah protected forest areas in KPHP Tanah Laut can be divided into internal and external factors. Internal constraints include human errors in the compilation of Minute of Forest Boundary, incomplete implementation document thus the gazettement could not be processed, and the lack of socialization dealing with forest boundary to the local community adjacent to forest area. Meanwhile, the external constraints were the determination of forest boundaries stretch frequently intersects with settlement or other rights, the overlapping use of an area, the lack of public recognition on forest area boundary, the issuance of private land rights certificate in forest areas, and diverse interpretations on the status of forest area.

A number of public reforms have been underway in Ukraine for the third year, and administrative reform is of particular importance for a new level of state development, which aims to change the status of local authorities, accountability and content of their social work. Attempts to initiate public authority reform have been made several times, but political will has not been sufficient, the changes have been superficial: signboards replacement and re-subordination. As a rule, such actions did not change the old authoritarian system of government, the system and content of activity in government structures, and accordingly it changed only external factors, which as a result aggravated the situation in the regions, deepened the excessive centralization of territorial governance, violating European principles of self-government and budgeting. Gradually, we came to the state and tendencies that in the process of activity became a burden for state development, removal of local authorities from influencing real situation within the territory and the lack of strategy for its development. Local authorities, as usual, expected financial subventions from the central government to solve particular territorial problems (roads, social facilities, community improvement, etc.), local authorities were discouraged from solving territorial problems and deepened destructive processes (corruption, abuse in the financial sphere, deepening the processes of complication of social status of territories, etc.) It could not last long, substantial and profound changes in territorial management, redistribution of powers, financial resources and spheres of responsibility for the real situation should have been implemented. Responsibility and resources (material, financial) were transferred from the center to the local government level. The powers of the deputy and the chairman of the local community are now filled with specifics and responsibility for solving problems of social development within the territory. Democratization of the processes of public authorities activity from the center to the region outlined legal and practical problems regarding the competence and content of officials: the ability to communicate on certain aspects of community activity; analytical skills and practices; involving citizens in the process of preparing public decisions within the territory; strategies of activity and preparation of community work plans. The vision of the problems of the territory and the strategy of solving them becomes the key to changing the life practices of the community.

ABSTRACTLaw is an instrument which can be used by central government to influence its environment, including other levels of government. This paper examines a number of fundamental questions about the nature of legal influence upon local authorities in Britain. Legislation affects local authorities in a variety of ways: through making direct reference to local authority organisations and the services they provide; through affecting all large organisations, public or private; and through affecting the organisations and individuals with which local authorities interact. In the 1970s a large proportion of legislation was concerned with the financial aspects of local services. Relatively few laws make substantive changes in the legal framework within which local authorities operate and much legislation can be categorised as ‘anodyne’. However, particular items of legislation can produce such substantive changes in public policies and in the powers of different organisations within government.

The government faces quite big constrains in the implementation of rural development due to the aspects of Geography, Topology, Demography, infrastructure availability, poor human resources, and relatively low rural institutional capability. One of the very important attempts which needs to be carried out by Central Government and Local Government is to encourage, promote, develop and actualize the power and ability of the rural communities themselves. The power and ability sourced and found in the rural communities themselves is defined as “Community Participation”. This study  used the primary data obtained through interviewing the respondents (local community) and the secondary data obtained from the data of Subdistrict Government of Teluk Mengkudu, Statistic Coordinator of Teluk Mengkudu Subdistrict, Community Empowerment and Rural Government Board of Serdang Bedagai District. The result of this study showed that, based on the result of regression equation, the coefficient value of village competition was 0.6071 with sig.t = 0.000. Since the value of sig.t was < α (0.05), Ho was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus, village competiton had a significant influence on the initiatives of the community in developing their village in Teluk Mengkudu Subdistrict. Then, from the other regression equation, it was found out that the coefficient value of village competition was 0.3278 with sig.t = 0.0156. Since the value of sig.t was < α (0.05), Ho was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus, village competition had a significant influence on the active participation of the community in developing their village in Teluk Mengkudu Subdistrict. The positive sign of coefficient value of village competition showed that if Village Competition is increasingly enhanced, that intiative of the community in developing their village in Teluk Mengkudu Subdistrict is also increasingly increased or both variables had unidirectional relationship. The conclusion drawn from the result of this study is that Village Competition is one of the activities done by both Central Government and Local Government in theirn attempt to educate their people to increase their initiatives and active participation to develop their villages.

In order to improve and develop the priority sector, namely the tourism sector, 10 (ten) priority destinations are determined in Indonesia, one of them is Tanjung Kelayang Destination in Bangka Belitung. The development of this priority destination, being the domain of authority of the central government and regional governments, it is necessary for Government Cooperation. The results of the study found that the model of cooperation between the central and regional governments in the development of Tanjung Kelayang Destinations was not only developed through government cooperation in the status of KSPN (National Tourism Strategic Area) which was deconcentrated, but also developed through government cooperation in the status of KEK (Creative Economic Zone) in the concept ABCGM (Academics, Business, Community, Government, Media). In each model of cooperation in its implementation there are still some problems, namely the local government is less able to take advantage of the opportunities in proposing activities to the central government through the Deconcentration Fund and DAK (Special Allocation Funds) in the KSPN status, and there are some activities that are not focused and not suitable for the development of KEK Tanjung Kelayang. There are several inhibiting and supporting factors identified and influencing government cooperation, inhibiting factors in the development of Tanjung Kelayang Priority Destinations namely lack of accessibility especially transportation, lack of awareness of community tourism, lack of community creativity while supporting factors are many foreign tourists and there are famous tourist attractions (Laskar Pelangi Island). Thus, the Central and Regional Government Cooperation can conclude that it is still not enough to make the Tanjung Kelayang destination a priority destination in Indonesia.Keywords :Government Cooperation, Tourism Development, Priority Destinations

The budgeting process is central to every administration be it the central government, local governments and the private sector because financial control is perhaps the most effective coordination tool. The scope and nature of government operations as a whole are determined by the allocations for the various programs. In fact, human nature has never been proven compared to when humans struggle to get a larger than usual share of the funds. This paper examines budgeting at the local government level, its preparation, problems and prospects. The study found that there was a wide gap between the budget plan and its implementation which resulted in the failure to fulfill political promises and the increasingly high expectations of society. The widespread dissatisfaction of the masses with the local government contributed greatly to the slow pace of local community development. This paper makes several recommendations that will reduce the incidence of budget deficits in the Government.

This study aims to analyze the progress and issues of Indonesia’s marine protected area establishment and control. It addresses the legal framework and issues, such as unclear mandates, lack of coordination, and local stakeholders’ involvement in their establishment and control. The legal framework discussion aims to explain the complicated issues of the new Local Government Act promulgation. Furthermore, it provides alternative solutions through amending several provisions of the new Local Government Act associated with marine and coastal control. Firstly, inserting provisions regarding the Archipelagic County. Secondly, altering several articles related to the authority to manage marine resources. Thirdly, inserting provisions related to the jurisdiction of the Central Government in determining the classification and categorization of marine resource management. Fourthly, amending the articles in the new Local Government Act related to foreign affairs arrangement in the border area. In addition, this article concluded that a proper legal framework encourages sustainable marine and coastal management.

This article examines local government reform in Taiwan. It highlights the challenges that new municipalities face in responding to rural – urban population, balancing centralism and localism, and protecting cultural diversity and minority rights. By applying Dillion’s rule and Home rule theories, it classifies two types of special municipalities, identifying their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. The article is presented in three parts. The first part examines the structure of local government, then explains how local governments are established and their relationship with central government. The second part focuses on government reform, by highlighting the issues and concerns facing local and central governments, and their respective reforms. The third part classifies two types of special municipality governments, by examining how each type balances efficiency and democracy, and the needs of central government versus the local community. The article concludes with a discussion of future challenges facing local government and special municipalities.

In the general discourse on the local government system in Nigeria, two major influences are notable: the intervention of the military in politics, and the 1976 reform of local government. However, the 1979 constitution, which provided the legal framework for the 1976 reforms, plunged the local government system into a crisis of identity, and ever since local government in Nigeria has remained an idea in search of relevance. This paper examines both the inherent weakness of the constitutional foundation and the contradictions created by the 1976 reforms. Using a theoretical analysis, the paper finds that the combined effects of constitutional gaps and reform contradictions have rendered Nigeria’s system of local government an unfortunate ‘orphan’, and that, lacking a strong constitutional foundation, local government in Nigeria has been subject to the whims of both state and federal governments. The paper argues that, despite numerous constitutional developments, current constitutional provisions for local government in Nigeria leave much to be desired. The recommendations to improve the system include that: local government should be given the status of a federating unit in the constitution, with its powers and functions clearly spelt out; the constitutionally mandated State Joint Local Government Account (SJLGA) should be abolished; and the constitution should be amended to create a chapter which guarantees the identity and autonomy of local government as a third tier of government.
