Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh pembangunan jalan tol dari empat pintu akses yang dibangun oleh pemerintah dan perekonomian masyarakat di daerah tersebut. Dengan menggunakan metode deskripsi kuantitatif dan uji Logit dengan sampel sebanyak 200 responden dari empat lokasi pintu keluar Malang-Pandaan, didapatkan hasil bahwa dampak dari infrastruktur ini terlihat dari perubahan tingkat pendapatan dan pengeluaran yang meningkat setelah adanya peningkatan pembangunan pintu keluar tol. Namun, peningkatan belanja atau konsumsi masyarakat lokal berdampak kurang signifikan, terutama dalam hal konsumsi kebutuhan pokok rumah tangga dan kepemilikan aset. Hal ini berimplikasi pada pembangunan infrastruktur yang dibangun pemerintah belum memberikan hasil yang maksimal seperti yang diharapkan masyarakat setempat dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar.Abstract: The purpose of this study aims to explore the impact caused by the construction of toll roads from the four access gates built by the government and community economies in the area. Using the quantitative description method and the Logit test with a sample of 200 respondents from the four Malang-Pandaan exit gate locations, the findings indicate that the impact of this infrastructure has been seen from changes in the level of income and expenditure that increased after the construction of the exit toll. However, an enhance in the expenditure or consumption level of local communities has a less significant impact, especially in terms of consumption of basic household needs and asset ownership. This implicates that infrastructure development built by the government has not given maximum results as expected by local communities in terms of improving the welfare of surrounding communities.

Tourism sector has a significant role in the economic development of our country. Tourism sector has contributed 6.88 percent to the GDP and has 12.36 percent share in employment (direct and indirect) in the year 2014. It has also a significant share in foreign exchange earnings. The benefit of tourism mostly goes to the local community (Sonya & Jacqueline, Mansour E. Zaei & Mahin E. Zaei, 2013). In this paper, an attempt has been made to assess how the tourism industry has created an opportunity for the economic, political, social and cultural development of the local community at Manali in Himachal Pradesh (India) and also tried to study the problems that are associated with the tourism in the region. The study found that the tourism industry has been extending its contribution for the development of local community at Manali. It has been providing employment, business and investment opportunities, revenue generation for the government, encouraging the community to promote and preserve its art, culture and heritage, raising the demand of agriculture products, provided opportunities for local people to run and work in the transport business and by promoting MSMEs in the region. Besides the opportunities, the tourism industry has also added many problems to the local community. Traffic congestion, increase in water and air pollution, solid waste generation, degradation of the cultural heritage, ecological imbalances, rise in cost of living, increase in crime, noise and environment pollution, migration of people to the region, negative impact on local culture, and extra pressure on civic services during the tourists season, are the problems associated with the tourism. The study suggest that effective management of natural resources, dissemination of environment protection information, involvement of local community in decision making, professionalization in the working of local administration, extending the support of government in sponsoring the events, infrastructure development, tracking records of migrants with the help of local community to curb the crime rate, promotion and preservation of art, culture and heritage, involvement of NGOs, compliance of the rules can make tourism more beneficial in the development of local community.

The Impact

Abstract In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the New South Wales (NSW) government ordered the closure of all municipal libraries in order to limit the impact of the contagion. As a result, 372 public libraries in NSW ceased operation on the 23rd March 2020. While the closure of public libraries will undoubtedly contribute to restricting the spread of the coronavirus, given the pivotal role played by municipal libraries in local communities, as well as the special characteristics of library patrons, it will have other negative consequences. In this paper we consider the impact of the closure of municipal libraries in NSW from two perspectives: (a) its effect on the fiscal circumstances of local authorities and (b) its impact on the spread of the corona contagion as well as its broader effects on local community wellbeing. We conclude that rather than complete closure, partial constraints on library use should have been considered.

Similarly, 21% respondents in Hunza and 14% respondents in Diamer agreed that water pollution is caused by tourism activities. Microbial analysis of water confirmed the presence of Salmonella typhi, E. coli and Enterobacter sp.

Hotels and restaurants are the main source of jobs in GB mainly as porters and guides.

It is recommended that a combined effort be made by the local communities, tourism departments and other Govt. Agencies to ensure the cleanliness of tourist attractions.
