Development Processes

Climate and good performance in the construction needs to be executed, the characteristic is community participation, transparency, responsiveness and accountability. If this does not work together it will be a bottleneck in the development. With reference to the MPR IV / MPR / 2000 on recommendations in the Implementation of Regional Autonomy Policy, then the provision of opportunity for the public to actively participate in the implementation of development processes, including in the process of spatial planning. To realize the true public participation should be pursued. So cooperation with relevant parties such as universities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community leaders, parliamentarians, and other stakeholders need to be synergized. Strategies undertaken to improve the role of the community can be done by: 1) increasing awareness (Awareness Raising), 2) Advocacy Policy (Policy Advocacy), 3) Development Institutions (Institution Building), 4) Capacity (Capacity Building). Thus the community involvement in spatial planning becomes particularly relevant in the context of creating its territory, namely the layout in the public interest and create a beautiful environment

Systemic Corruption

Relevant governmental bodies and organizations, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and institutions, especially the media, show increased interest in corruption related to the public procurement. Public procurement is the most frequently cited area in the context of systemic corruption for the simple reason that it directly represents the spending of public money on a large scale, which according to OECD data represents about 7-15% of GDP. One of the possible approaches to prevent corruption in public procurement is the systematic building of the integrity of all entities and institutions involved in the public procurement process. Due to the fact that the internal audit way of organization and work is closest to practical issues of public procurement it has the opportunity to achieve the largest coverage of cases for which public funds are engaged.

The paper is focused on the discussion about the role of non-governmental organizations during the decision-making process in local governance and what factors influence it. To achieve this, the following steps have been made: first, the concept of non-governmental organizations and their relationship with civil society was analyzed, then possible variations of relationship between non-governmental organizations and their impact to the public sector was described. In the last part of the paper, the stages of the decision–making and implementation process in the municipality were analyzed and theoretical aspects of enabling NGOs were discussed. The analyses showed that the decision-making and implementation processes depend on the understanding of the need to cooperate, the ability of both subjects to work together, their relationship with citizens and other interest groups.

The article is the review of D. O. Sivakov’s monograph “Tendencies in Legal Regulation of Water-Related Activities”. D. O. Sivakov is a leading research fellow of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, a specialist and author of researches in the sphere of water and environmental legislation. The author analyses the study under review from the perspective how this study assesses the role of the state in the water resources management. The author supports the reexamination by D. O. Sivakov of the conceptual framework of the water legislation through the lens of proposed legalization of the “water-related activities” concept. The author’s conclusion resulting from the comparison of practical experience in water bodies’ management in a number of foreign countries is worth noticing. As such, the author focuses on the public services by non-governmental organizations and entities of the parties to the water relations. In his study the author confines himself to a simple enumeration of powers of some state bodies in the water services sphere, which is evidently not enough for building a holistic picture of tendencies in the legal regulation of waterrelated activities.

Seed Origin

The partial results of a project from CYMMIT are presented in this article, whose objective is to determine the effects of the agricultural reforms of the corn seed industries in the developing countries, specially the role of the private and official sectors in the production of varieties and hybrids and the release of improved seeds. The analysis is based mainly on asurvey of the seed industries, conducted during 1993 and 1994. The results of the analysis of the total sale of improved seed in 1993, prices according to type and seed origin and the participation of the public and private sectors in developingimproved seed in the Central American countries and Mexico are shown here. The main result from the analysis is that the official sectors are withdrawing from the production and sale of seed, and aiming their efforts to wards breeding and germplasm development. Likewise, the private sectors are important factors of the seed production and sale. The private sector depends on the official materials for their seed sales, specially the small locally financed enterprises and cooperatives of seed producers, as well as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's).

The Way

Abstract In Romania there is a legislation that regulates different aspects of the protection and administration of natural areas- from the way they are being established to the way permissible activities in and around these areas are being regulated. Nevertheless, based on studies released by different interested forums, the core issue has been identified to be the poor informing of the population concerning the importance of protecting the biodiversity and its role in ensuring a support system of life and in developing socio-economical systems. The presence of the inhabitants on the natural areas and the activities they conduct have a great impact on the natural environment, thus making their involvement in protecting the biodiversity extremely important. The general public needs to become more aware of the fact that the preservation of nature does not constitute a unique, self-defeating purpose, that requires the saccrifice of all means, and that the presence of a reservation in their community could lead to a highly beneficial sustainable development, both socially and economically as a result of increasing financial stability for the local population. Throughout this process of communication/ awareness raising/ ecological education, a key role is being played by the environmental non-governmental organizations that, through their misison, can be more visible and more efficient in achieving the purpose of making the public aware and thus creating a responsible behaviour and a direct involvement in protecting and administrating the natural areas.

Environmental Audits

Abstract.The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is a state institution that has a role in upholding the principles of good governance. One that is rarely known to the public is the principle of environmental protection. Despite the role of the BPK in upholding principles, such as regulating positive activities, or providing reports on the results of environmental audits. However, it turns out that the position is not as effective as expected, because the BPK Institution only has 16 certified international environmental auditors, while its duties are related to the environment that is spread throughout the territory of Indonesia. Therefore, the author seeks to provide an effective solution to the concept of reform, namely synergizing the BPK Institution with the relevant Ministries, including the wider community, as well as non-governmental organizations. The author conducted a study based on data on the state of the legal environment, welfare, and environmental audits, then visualized in a frame of mind. With the formulation of the concept of BPK synergy with several relevant Ministries, it is expected to be able to uphold social and environmental welfare, and be able to reduce the country's economic losses.Keywords: Environmental Audit, Republic of Indonesia BPK, Integrity, Social Welfare Abstrak.  Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan merupakan Lembaga negara yang memiliki peran menegakkan prinsip tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik. Salah satu yang jarang diketahui publik adalah prinsip perlindungan lingkungan. Meskipun adanya peran BPK dalam menegakan prinsip, seperti mengatur aktivitas positif, atau memberikan laporan hasil audit lingkungan. Namun ternyata kedudukannya tidak seefektif yang diharapkan, karena Lembaga BPK hanya memiliki 16 auditor lingkungan internasional bersertifikat, sedang tugasnya berkaitan dengan lingkungan yang tersebar di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, penulis berupaya memberikan solusi efektif dengan konsep reformasi, yaitu mensinergikan Lembaga BPK dengan Kementerian terkait, termasuk masyarakat luas, dan juga organisasi non-pemerintah. Penulis melakukan kajian berdasarkan data pada keadaan lingkungan hukum, kesejahteraan, dan audit lingkungan, kemudian divisualisasikan dalam kerangka berpikir. Dengan formulasi konsep sinergi BPK dengan beberapa Kementerian terkait, diharapkan dapat menegakkan kesejahteraan sosial dan lingkungan hidup, serta dapat mengurangi kerugian ekonomi negara.Kata Kunci: Audit Lingkungan, BPK RI, Integritas, Kesejahteraan Sosia

This paper analyzes the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as intermediaries in encouraging the European Union (EU) to adopt International Accounting Standards (IAS). Our analysis begins with the 1973 founding of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), and ends with 2002 when the binding EU regulation was approved. We document the many pathways of interaction between European supranational, governmental bodies and the IASC/IASB, as well as important regional NGOs, such as the Union Européenne des Experts Comptables, Économiques et Financiers (UEC), the Groupe d'Etudes des Experts Comptables de la Communauté Économique Européenne (Groupe d'Etudes), and their successor, the Fédération des Experts Comptables Européens (FEE). This study investigates, through personal interviews of key individuals involved in making the history of the organizations studied, and an extensive set of primary sources, how NGOs filled key roles in the process of harmonization of international accounting standards.

Purpose Scholarship on the contact hypothesis and peacebuilding suggests that contact with marginalized ethnic and racial groups may reduce prejudice and improve opportunities for conflict resolution. Through a study of dual-narrative tours to Israel/Palestine, the purpose of this paper is to address two areas of the debate surrounding this approach to social change. First, past research on the effectiveness of contact-based tourism as a method to change attitudes is inconclusive. Travel to a foreign country has been shown to both improve and worsen tourists’ perceptions of a host population. Second, few scholars have attempted to link contact-based changes in attitudes to activism. Design/methodology/approach Through an analysis of 218 post-tour surveys, this study examines the role of dual-narrative tours in sparking attitude change that may facilitate involvement in peace and justice activism. Surveys were collected from the leading “dual-narrative” tour company in the region, MEJDI. Dual-narrative tours uniquely expose mainstream tourists in Israel/Palestine to Palestinian perspectives that are typically absent from the majority of tours to the region. This case study of dual-narrative tours therefore provides a unique opportunity to address the self-selecting bias, as identified by contact hypothesis and tourism scholars, in order to understand the potential impacts of exposure to marginalized narratives. Findings The findings of this study suggest that while these tours tend to engender increased support for Palestinians over Israelis, their most salient function appears to be the cultivation of empathy for “both sides” of the conflict. Similarly, dual-narrative tours often prompt visitors to understand the conflict to be more complex than they previously thought. In terms of activism, tourists tend to prioritize education-based initiatives in their plans for post-tour political engagement. In addition, a large number of participants articulated commitments to support joint Israeli–Palestinian non-governmental organizations and to try to influence US foreign policy to be more equitable. Originality/value These findings complicate debates within the scholarship on peacebuilding as well as within movements for social justice in Israel/Palestine. While programs that equate Israeli and Palestinian perspectives are often criticized for reinforcing the status quo, dual-narrative tours appear to facilitate nuance and universalism while also shifting tourists toward greater identification with an oppressed population. Together, these findings shed light on the ability of tourism to facilitate positive attitude change about a previously stigmatized racial/ethnic group, as well as the power of contact and exposure to marginalized narratives to inspire peace and justice activism.
