This paper discusses the issue of analyzing the development of cross-border tourism infrastructure in the borderlands of countries with diversified administrative divisions and spatial databases, which hinders the use of national statistical units for comparative research. As an example, the ability to use the square grid and kernel density estimation methods for the analysis and spatial visualization of the level of tourism infrastructure development is studied for the Orlickie and Bystrzyckie Mountains, located in the Polish–Czech border area. To synthetically assess and compare the level of diversity, the methodology used in the Human Development Index was adapted using selected component indicators calculated for a square grid clipped to the boundaries of the area under study. This analysis enabled us to quantify the asymmetry in the development of tourism infrastructure in the borderlands via the calculation of the synthetic infrastructure development index. This index is 1.29 times higher in the Czech than in the Polish border area. However, the spatial concentration analysis of infrastructure shows that the diversity in the study area can be assessed as higher than the results using the average density indicators. This paper also discusses the benefits and problems associated with using the square grid method for the representation and analysis of heterogeneous data on tourism infrastructure in two neighboring national states.

The purpose of the article is to develop some recommendations on the improvement of housing-and-communal services financing on the basis of the mechanism of public-and-private partnership, and namely on the basis of concessionary agreements. The analysis of the housing-andmunicipal industry condition was carried out with the use of the municipal infrastructure development index. According to the analysis results, the that a considerable part of housing-and-communal facilities are in crisis or pre-emergency condition. It is fraught with technogenic accidents, damage to an environment, additional expenses on compensation of the environmental damage. Besides, the ecological costs of outdated and wornout facilities are high even without emergence of accidents. The conclusion was drawn that development, repair and replacement of worn-out objects of housing-and-communal infrastructure are necessary. In turn, additional financing of the sphere is necessary for this purpose. The experience of the concessionary agreements implementation in the Russian regions is considered. The conclusion is drawn that this experience positive in general, but the mechanism also has some shortcomings, some problems of the legislative regulation exist. Further distribution of concessions demands purposeful measures. The corresponding recommendations, developed by the author of the article, can be useful for regional and municipal authorities as well as for specialists of the companies, working in the field of housing-and-public services.

Despite robust recent economic growth rates, Africa remains the least competitive global region. Inadequate infrastructure is a serious constraint on doing business in the continent. This demonstrates the close linkage between infrastructure and the region’s competitiveness. Moreover, the Africa Progress Panel has ranked infrastructure development as a key priority for the advancement of the continent, and has urged the G20 leadership to continue to give it their highest support. It is against this background that the African Development Bank developed the Africa Infrastructure Development Index (AIDI) to monitor the status and progress of infrastructure development across the continent. This effort is to enhance evidence based policy making in Africa – especially with specific reference to infrastructure. The Index provides countries with the framework to assess their position and related changes with respect to the requisite infrastructure investments.

The background of this research based on constitution article 27 paragraph 2 which states that “every citizen is entitled to work and means appropriate for humanity ”. Several steps are taken by a government in implementing this law such as the national program of community empowerment like KOTAKU/PNPM. Generally, there are contemporary issues in development such as Human Development Index (HDI), Poverty , Justice and Social Equality and accordingly there are strategic issues in the Bogor area such as  Human Development Index is still low, marked by unemployment and poverty rate is still high and although Bogor has sufficient natural resources and competitive , but not yet been explored optimally. Thefore, it is important to discuss the participation of the  program KOTAKU / PNPM as a form of community involvement to resolve these issues. KOTAKU Program use synergy platform the collaboration of local government and other stakeholders in the district and community-based infrastructure development to accelerate the handling of urban slum problems.The formulation problem are how public participation of the program KOTAKU/ PNPM, what problem occured and influenced the program, and what efforts are taken to solve the problem. The purpose of research are to understand the extent of effectiveness of the KOTAKU program and the level of participation from general public. According to Cohen and Uphoff, as cited by Siti Irene Astuti (2011: 61-63) distinguish participation can be devided into four types: (1) participation in decision making, (2) participation in the implementation, (3) participation in the utilization, and (4) participation in evaluation. Some factors that affects participation namely benefit of activities, an opportunity, skill, a feeling of ownership and community figures. Meanwhile, the implementation is action performed either by individuals or groups or government officials or private directed at the achievement of the some of the causes that have determined in the policy decision (Van Meter and Van Horn, 1975. In addition, policy implemenentation theory proposed by George C.Edwards III (1980) states that policy implementation is influenced by four variable as follow : (1). Communication, (2). Resources, (3). Disposition/Attitude, and (4). Bureaucratic Structure.Research methodology used is quantitative descriptive, technique of data collection and data analysis use primary and secondary data based on observation technique , the questionnaire and interview , and then  processed into the form of figures to do statistic calculation to draw conclusion. The sampling technique used is proportional random sampling in accordance to Solvin’s formula , and obtained samples of 100 respondents , with reference to productive ages .Based on the research it can be concluded that based on the calculation on those dimensions of public participation in Ciawi district has a value of 3.72 and intepreted as “good” category. With the conditions of Ciawi district which is so vast, potential large enough of religious communities, but still high poverty rate and many things to be improved and could not be separated from public participation in developing their areas. But there are several things must be done to increase, among others as follow :Socialization should be increased , that intention and purposes can be implemented and in accordance with the target.Optimalitazing society organizations in the each area/Village.Budget transparancy is needed to maintain of public trust. Keywords : Participation, Implementation, Program


The results revealed that Bhuntar market was found to be the most developed on the basis of infrastructure development index (0.71) whereas Bandrol (0.15) market was least developed due to the reason that market is operational only during the peak season and there were no permanent sheds or shops for marketing of produce. It was found that all the sample farmers were selling their produce through regulated markets and the study showed that 56.67 percent of the farmers were well aware of these regulated markets. The most important motivating factor for preferring the regulated markets by the farmers was market information as 46.67 percent farmer preferred regulated markets because of this factor alone. As far as working of regulated markets was concerned that sample farmers were highly satisfied with physical functions related with producer’s welfare like provision of drinking water and toilets, farmer’s rest sheds, canteen and parking facility.

Aim. The presented study aims to address the issues of the unevenness of construction market development and regional infrastructure development in the Russian Federation.Tasks. The authors analyze the scale of the construction markets in Russian regions and compare it with the level of infrastructure development.Methods. This study uses statistical methods of information processing, including the index method, ranking, and expert assessment. Input data for the analysis include official statistical reports of the Federal State Statistics Service (major socio-economic indicators and indicators of construction activity development in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation), analytical reviews of InfraOne Research — Russian infrastructure: development index 2020, and data from the SPARK service.Results. The study examines the specific features of regional construction market development and divides regions into five groups based on the scale of construction markets. The authors assess the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index and the volume of housing commissioning. It is concluded that there is a mutual influence between the scale of the construction market and the level of infrastructure development. The results of the study can be used in the development (updating) of strategies for the development of the construction complex and infrastructure, as well as in the implementation of government policy in this area.Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the volume of construction works, Russian regions are divided into five groups depending on the scale of the construction market. The scale is assessed based on the extent of the region’s contribution to the total volume of construction works performed in the Russian Federation. Assessment of the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index indicates that regions with a large volume of construction works have a higher infrastructure development index. The volume of construction works and the number of construction companies do not always have an effect the infrastructure development index.

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.
