This article is based on a case study in Joglo Tani, a local organization that focuses its programs on promoting new agricultural technology and urban farming while promoting food security for local people. It represents what characterizes the grassroots movement while destroying negative opinion about grassroots innovation. The success of Joglo Tani is influenced by the quality of leadership as social entrepreneurs as well as the quality of the network of activists and an organization that produce new, bottom-up solutions, and the ability of the solutions they produce to address local situations, concerning individual and social problems. The organizing of Joglo Tani innovations in the local realm has brought about a process of social transformation in rural areas, particularly in resource management and the system for organizing agricultural work. Through a voluntary movement, informal networks, and the ability to manage the potential of the environment, leadership is able to carry out the transformation process on an increasingly massive scale. This study proves that leadership in a bottom-up movement of ‘activist and organizational networks’ has succeeded in responding to the challenges of food supply limitations, moving towards sustainable food through instilling fundamental values of organizational life and technological breakthroughs as well as local institutions. Methodologically, the research was conducted through a comprehensive literature study stage related to grassroots innovation movements, while primary data collection was carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, social and conventional media analysis, and interviews with community figures.

Kegiatan wisata bahari di Pulau Maratua memiliki beberapa permasalahan, yaitu kurangnya pemahaman pelaku usaha mengenai kewajiban izin lokasi perairan, kurangnya infrastruktur pendukungwisata bahari, dan rendahnya nilai penerimaan negara yang diperoleh oleh Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi izin lokasi perairan kegiatan wisata bahari di Kawasan Strategis Nasional Tertentu (KSNT) Pulau Maratua terhadap PNBP yang diterima oleh KKP. Penelitian dilakukan di seluruh perairan KSNT Pulau Maratua pada bulan April 2019 sampai dengan bulan Maret 2020 dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dari 15 (lima belas) pelaku usaha wisata bahari. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui wawancara untuk menggali informasi mengenai kewajiban izin lokasi perairan, kegiatan wisata bahari dan pembayaran PNBP, sedangkan data sekunder didapatkan dari kepustakaan dengan mempelajariliteratur, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan laporan yang berhubungan dengan penelitian ini. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa kegiatanyang dilakukan KKP untuk meningkatkan pemahaman pelaku usaha dengan melakukan sosialisasi perizinan pemanfaatan ruang laut, pengambilan keterangan, dan pembukaan loket pelayanan perizinanbelum mampu menggerakkan seluruh pelaku usaha wisata bahari untuk mengajukan izin lokasi perairan. Selama kurun waktu 1 (satu) tahun hanya 40 % atau sebanyak 6 (enam) pelaku usaha dari total 15(lima belas) yang telah mengajukan permohonan dan mendapatkan izin lokasi perairan dari Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan dengan nilai PNBP sebesar Rp238.200.000,00. Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan kontribusi PNBP, perlu dilakukan sosialisasi dan pembinaan yang lebih intensif, perbaikan inovasi dan kualitas pelayanan perizinan, peningkatan kompetensi sumber daya manusia, pengelolaan PNBP, menetapkan target dan optimalisasi realisasi PNBP, dan pemberian sanksi.Title: The Water Location Permit as the Non-Tax State Revenue (NTSR): Case Study on Marine Tourism in Maratua Island Marine tourism on Maratua Island has been suffered from several problems, including less understanding of water location permit, lack of adequate infrastructure of marine tourism, and small amount of non-tax state revenue (NTSR) earned by Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) This study aimed to determine the contribution of National Strategic Spesific Area (NSSA) permit to NTSR earned by MMAF. The study was conducted on all waters of NSSA in Maratua Island fromApril 2019 to March 2020 with a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through interviews from 15 (fifteen) marine tourism entrepreneurs to explore more information on the compulsory oflocation permit, marine tourism activities and NTSR. Secondary data were collected from literature study, regulations, and relevant reports. Data were analyzed with qualitative descriptive method. The results found that MMAF efforts to provide more understanding on water location permit, information gathering, and permit offices have not been able to encourage all marine tourism entrepreneurs to apply water location permit. There were only 40% in 1 (one) year or 6 (six) from a total of 15 (fifteen) entrepreneurs who submitted application and obtained water location permit from the MMAF.Total amount of NTSR collected from those application was IDR238,200,000.00. Therefore, in order to raisethis revenue, it is necessary to provide more intensive assistance, innovation, better quality of permit services, human resource empowerment, management of NTSR, optimum target and expenditure ofNTSR, and punishment for breaches of permit regulation.

Abstract Background Implementation of the Norwegian government’s Coordination Reform (2012) aims to decentralise health care services from centralised hospitals to the local communities. Radiological services in Norway are mainly organised in hospitals, because of the significant financial and human resource demands engendered by the need for advanced technological equipment, and specialised staff. Some selected conventional x-ray services have been decentralised into rural communities. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate different stakeholders’ perceptions of organizing decentralised radiological services in a rural area in Norway. Methods Following an extensive policy and literature review and a survey of GPs in the rural area being investigated two focus groups were conducted to obtain stakeholder’s evaluation of the radiological services in both hospital and rural contexts. The key emergent themes from the literature - decentralization, quality, professional roles, organisation and economic consequences – were discussed with each focus group. Thematic analysis was used for analyzing the primary data collected. Results Four main themes emerged from the focus groups: organisation, quality, funding of radiological services and cooperation between health care professions and health care levels. The quality of service was found to be inadequate in some areas because of the superficial level of training given to non-radiographic staff. It was found that the organisation of decentralised radiological services to rural areas is challenging because of the way health services are structured in Norway. This structural framework increases the need for effective cooperation and responsibility between health care professions and levels. There needs to be improved co-working by clearly defining roles and responsibilities. Conclusions The stakeholders agreed that decentralized radiological services is important. Quality of the service could be improved and should be given priority. A key recommendation for the organisation of rural radiological service was the development of a satellite link with an acute hospital. Structural change to the financial system whereby money follows patients, might also facilitate more patient-centred services across healthcare levels. Improved mutual understanding between rural radiolog­ical services and hospital specialists and managers is important for a high quality and consistent radiological service to be delivered across Norway.

Animal feed knife is a tool that serves to cut and chop animal feed consisting of grass as the main ingredient with additives such as bran, herbs, centrate, cassava, tofu pulp and others. Therefore, as a cutting tool must have the properties of friction resistance, impact resistance, and have good sharpness, so that the material chosen is Ni-Hard 1. The use of centrifugal casting method was chosen because it has the advantage of being able to make castings with relatively thin thickness this is due to the influence of the centrifugal force on the distribution of metal liquids throughout the cavity in the mold. Case study in this study is the use of centrifugal casting methods as an alternative to gravity casting methods to overcome defects of misruns. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of speed on the formation of castings products. The method that was carried out began with a literature study on centrifugal casting, and continued by determining the material, the temperature of the cast is in the range 1250ºC - 1300ºC, and the type of mold. The next step is to do work drawings, pattern making, mold making, casting processes, fettling processes, and analysis. With variations in speed of 200 rpm, 300 rpm and 400 rpm, it can be seen the optimal speed for making this product. The results of this study obtained optimal speed at a speed of 300 rpm to make good quality of animal feed knife products.

The modified law of Iranian Administrative divisions has greatly altered the pattern of settlement in recent decades. The promotion of rural areas to urban areas has shifted from mere population standard to combined population-administrative standards. However, all censuses suggest that many rural areas reported as smaller than the minimum population standard have been promoted to urban areas. In the last two decades, this is a clearly prominent phenomenon in the urban system of Iran. This paper evaluates the effects and consequences of promoting small and sparsely populated rural areas to urban areas in the Bushehr province. The used methodology is analytic-descriptive using a questionnaire distributed among 380 members of the target population. Data analysis is conducted in physical, economic, social and urban servicing domains using one-sample T-test and the utility range. The results show that promotion of rural areas to urban areas has positive outcomes such as improved waste disposal system, improved quality of residential buildings, increased monitoring of the construction, increased income, prevented migration and improved health services. However, the results of utility range show that the negative consequences of this policy are more than its positive outcomes, which have been studied in detail.

A series of factors affect the social perception of hazards in a rural context. This article analyzes how weather conditions influence farmers’ perceptions of natural hazards. In order to understand the relationship between time of year/season and farmers’ concerns about hazards, this study was undertaken. The methodology was based on surveys done to obtain a base-collection of primary data, as well as a meteorological and production analysis using secondary data. A case study of small coffee farms was carried out in a Brazilian municipality with questionnaires applied during the dry season in 2016 and the rainy season in 2017. The results indicate that drought is the main hazard identified by farmers in both weather seasons. Although there were some changes in perceptions observed, the ranking order of the main hazards did not change over the dry and rainy weather seasons.
