The tourist potential of regions of the Northwestern Federal district (NWFD) is studied by the author in the context of the rating, compiled by the magazine "Rest in Russia" [“Otdykh v Rossii”] and the center for information communications "Rating", which has analyzed the tourist attractiveness of Russian regions. The article includes the table which shows the presence of the natural, cultural, and educational resources in NWFD for the development of a particular type of tourism and the available means of accommodation (their types and their quantity according to the three reservation system – Booking, Tripadvisor and Ostrovok). The analysis of this table concludes what types of tourism are in the priority for each subject of the Federal district. The main types of tourism developing in NWFD, according to the author, are the business tourism, cultural tourism, rural tourism, environmental tourism, water tourism and sport tourism. The article presents a SWOT analysis of the tourist-recreational complex of the NWFD which shows that the government should create conditions for tourism development. The author also analyses the impact of tourism clusters on the main areas of development of the region (economic, social and cultural, ecological and natural) and then the possibility of using the tourism resources potential of NWFD subjects. The main idea of the article is that tourism as a specific multiplicative sphere stimulates the development of other sectors of the economy such as: trade, catering, transport, agriculture, production of consumer goods, medical and other services. This fact acquires special importance in the conditions of economic instability and the need for economic growth. On the basis of the SWOT analysis the author proposes measures to the development of the tourism clusters in the regions of NWFD, which include the following: 1) infrastructure development in NWFD; 2) promotion program of NWFD and its regions separately; 3) the development of interregional cooperation and participation in projects for the creation of common tourist programs; 4) focus on the development of the most promising tourist destinations in the district. It is concluded that NWFD, filled with various tourist and recreational resources, has a convenient conditions for the establishment and development of tourist clusters, therefore the huge potential of the tourist market of NWFD is necessary to be used correctly, we should work on its development and increase inbound flows into the country. NWFD can attract not only Russian but also foreign tourists with its sufficient natural, cultural, environmental, educational resources.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the modern problems and the main trends of development of the health-improving tourism sector in the southern part of Russia and to identify significant factors in overcoming the complex challenges related to specific socio-economic conditions in the study area. Design/methodology/approach The material that served as the basis of the study comprises statistical data from the Southern Federal District and its subjects, as well as data about the development of tourism infrastructure on the official websites of governments, Ministry of Tourism and the population of the Southern Federal District. This information was systematized from a number of perspectives, including identification of the chronology of health-improving tourism infrastructure development in the chosen territory, as well as the advantages and disadvantages in this area. Based on the results of the study, the authors also developed some recommendations to overcome existing inactive trends in the field of health tourism. Findings This paper sheds light on the understanding of the challenges and changes that took place in the resort agglomerations of the south of Russia in terms of current issues and those that must be addressed in the coming years. It was concluded that health tourism in the south of Russia has old traditions based on the natural resource potential of territories that are included in the composition of the Southern Federal District. At the same time, the authors came to the conclusion that, unfortunately, not resort agglomerations are fully utilized. Furthermore, some historic resorts were not well maintained by local authorities and have suffered more recently because of lack of investment. At present, the financial results of health resorts and others related to health-improving tourism are precarious as most operations are unprofitable, and so complex decisions are needed to address the underlying problem of resource optimization because of the important social and economic role of the cities in this region. They have special natural and resource potential and preserve traditions related to health-improving tourism. Research limitations/implications The paper provides a conceptual analysis based on limited empirical data combined with some directions for further research. Originality/value The paper attempts to reveal the impact of social, economic and geopolitical factors, both negative and positive, on the development of the health-improving tourism segment, restructuring of the Russian tourism market and the emergence of promising opportunities and new directions for development. The findings also provide insights for practitioners and researchers, and the tourism industry can draw on this analysis to guide the development of strategy, increase investment attractiveness, make more effective use of the natural resource potential and maintain pressure on government partners to provide support to tourism.

Conflict handling in Papua so far is more often done with the repressive approach. The impact of conflict level is not decreasing, even international rejection is increasing. For that reason, a more humanistic approach is needed, including through empowerment. The purpose of this research is to study the community empowerment model in conflict-prone areas as an effort to realize the food security and the strategy of model replication in another area. The research method is done by action research, and SWOT analysis to formulate the strategy of model replication. The empowerment model conducted in several ways. First, gradually improve farming skills more productive-with the introduction of simple agricultural technology brings the change of community behavior from nomadic to the subsystem. Second, farming in order to provide for basic needs and also daily, weekly, monthly income as well as savings for families. Third, business development efforts by partnerships, with the government, companies, and religious institutions. The nodes of empowerment activities are conducted through the Agribusiness Training Center (ATC) that facilitates all empowerment activities. There are several things to consider in the replication model of empowerment: identification of program targets, needs assessment, institutional initiation, technology selection, assistance to the program, and partnerships with various stakeholders.

The economy is one of the important factors that influence the condition of vulnerability of community  after a disaster. This study aims to determine the factors that are of interest to the community in starting a business by SWOT analysis of community empowerment programs in areas impacted by the Lapindo mudflow disaster, Sidoarjo, and the implementation of programs towards disaster resilient villages. The method used is a combination of quantitative and qualitative with questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The results showed that people's awareness of the importance of family savings as a disaster preparedness increased significantly even though some respondents experienced a decrease in income. The results of the SWOT analysis of the training alternatives offered to the community indicate that the factors of ease of obtaining raw materials, small initial capital requirements, mastery of the production process and market access of the products produced will attract the interest of the community to run a business. The participation of village communities in the study areas to help reduce the impact of disaster risks related to the environment around the settlements, can be encouraged by forming disaster resilient villages managed by the community themselves with the full support of the government.

Auto Regression

Infrastructure development is considered a key factor in promoting economic growth and attracting foreign investors for sustainable production and productivity. Conversely, inadequate levels of infrastructure constrain economic growth, a situation developing countries find themselves in. This requires the government to invest in infrastructure supplemented by external financing. This chapter, therefore, discusses how levels of infrastructure development affect economic growth in Ghana, since 1986 to date. The focus is on road transport infrastructure and its impact on economic growth under successive Ghanaian governments. Using the Cobb-Douglas production function and Vector Auto-regression (VAR) approach our analysis shows a positive relationship between infrastructure development and economic growth. This explains governments' improved allocation and expenditure on infrastructure development and maintenance in the 2000s. Ghana governments' attempts to plan and prioritize development of infrastructure, roads in particular, and create a culture of maintenance are targeted at raising the country's competitiveness and attractiveness to foster growth of all sectors of the economy.

Objective - This study attempts to provide comprehensive findings on the impact of several kinds of infrastructural developments and government budgets on specific purposes, as well as agricultural and non-agricultural productions, on poverty alleviation in Indonesia between 2002-2013. Methodology/Technique - This study uses macroeconomic data at a municipal level to provide more precise findings when comparing provincial and national level data. The study uses an adaptation of the theory of international development. Findings - This research shows that electricity and sanitation are more effective at eradicating poverty than water infrastructure. In addition, household access to infrastructure is more effective in combatting poverty than the government budget for infrastructure development. The study also performs correlation matrices, dividing the data into the western and eastern parts of Indonesia, to provide more robust findings. Agricultural production is more effective in the western part of Indonesia, yet non-agricultural production is more relevant towards poverty reduction in the eastern part of Indonesia. Novelty - This study yields some empirical results and conclusions for economic development in Indonesia, finding that the key problem lies in the effectiveness of budget arrangement within the framework of fiscal decentralization. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: Infrastructure Development; Fiscal Decentralization; Government Expenditure; Poverty Rate; Poverty Reduction. JEL Classification: H54, P30, P36.

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.

The Impact

The challenge to provide enough resources to fund infrastructure development has been the bane of most developing countries like Nigeria. The appropriate economic and trade policies to deploy to increase revenue generating capacity of the government become compelling. This study examined the impact of trade openness on trade and tax revenue in Nigeria between 1981 and 2018. The study employed Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillip Peron tests to conduct the stationarity tests. Akaike Information Criterion and Final Predictor Error provided the best lag lengths. Johansen cointegration test was used to determine the long run relationship. The study employed Vector Error Correction Model for the regression analysis while T- test and F test were also done to confirm the statistical significance of the variables and the models. For autocorrelation problem, Breusch-Godfrey serial correlation LM test were conducted and other post- estimation tests were also used. The result of the study showed that trade openness was negatively related with total tax revenue and with trade tax revenue (CED). The results indicate that a unit increase in trade openness leads to 11.58% decrease in trade revenue from CED and 13.69% decrease in total revenue. Trade openness as a policy to increase tax revenue was not beneficial to the country. Trade openness should be adopted with manufacturing and productive sector orientation in mind. In addition, tariff rates should be reviewed, and the tax structure should be transparent, and judicious use of tax resources should be implemented by government.

Purpose: The aim of this research study is to address the nature, prospects and challenges of coalition governments and their impacts on the community in Lesotho Approach/Methodology/Design: This paper uses desk top methodology and employs a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis technique to address the nature, prospects and challenges of coalition governments and their impacts on the community in Lesotho. Research questions that guide this study are what prompt coalition governments in Lesotho? How do coalition governments operate in Lesotho? What are the prospects and challenges of coalition governments on the government, governance, lives and livelihoods of the communities in Lesotho? What might be a sustainable democratic coalition government option in Lesotho going forward? Findings: The hypothesis of the paper is that coalition governments promote instability of government and poor governance for the Basotho. The results show that prospects for coalition governments are inclusive democracy, while challenges are community exclusion, poor service delivery, extravagant public expenditure and government instability. Practical Implications: The article provides a detailed analysis of the impact of coalition governments on the community. Originality/value: The major findings and conclusion of the paper is that coalition governments have prompted cooperation among former rival parties to form one coalition government at different times; but they have had a negative impact on the Basotho community as a whole and benefited only a minority aligned to some of the major coalition parties under different coalition regimes.
