One of the fundamental problems in the border area of Sanggau Regency is the infrastructure of roads and bridges. Those problems become more complex due to various aspects that affect the governmental institutions are the community, environment, and other aspects. The above problems will produce some implication to many fields such as society, culture, economic, defence and security. The implications are not only local but also national. Based on the problems, the research aims is to describe and analyze the complexity of public basic services for roads and bridges by point of view of the external aspects of an organization. The results of the study show that the main factors in which the public basic services are not optimal are the unfavourable local and socio-economic conditions of the community. The cost needed in basic public services is high enough because of the landscape range. It is exacerbated by the socio-economic constraints of the community which indirectly can hamper the process of running the public services provided. In overcoming of the two problems, the strategic effort that needed is better coordination amongst the organizations in the area. For example, The public works Services (Dinas Pekerjaan Umum) must be coordinated to the other government organization in implementing some programs.

Batu Mejan Beach is an international tourist destination located in the Canggu area of Badung regency, Bali. Due to erosion problems of Batu Mejan Beach the local government installed a revetment system to protect the coast. However, the revetment that was built before for the Batu Mejan Beach is currently ineffective and damaged. To determine the parameters for the construction of a new coastal protection system, the wave energy occurring at the site was evaluated initially as part of this study. A Submerged breakwater with a tetrapod for a protective layer was then chosen as the alternative to reduce the wave energy before reaching the shore and to reduce erosion as well as further deterioration of the existing revetment. A Submerged breakwater is suitable in coastal areas that are used as tourism destinations because the submerged breakwater construction is under the water, therefore the beauty of the beach will not be interrupted. Four models were made with variations in the width and elevation of the breakwater peak. The model was selected which has the minimum value of transmission coefficient and minimum cost. The cost budget plan was determined by using the analytical list of the Public Works and Housing Regulations of 2016. From the analysis, a model was selected with a submerged breakwater height of 2.45 m, length of 110 m, distance gap of 55 m, and the budget of IDR 17,861,989,813.

O principal escopo desta pesquisa se concentra em investigar algumas das práticas viciosas mais comuns durante a realização de processos licitatórios no setor público brasileiro. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na metodologia exploratória, sendo aplicada a partir de casos práticos examinados por um dos órgãos de fiscalização e controle da verba pública brasileira. Foram estudados 70 (setenta) relatórios da Controladoria-Geral da União, os quais estão disponíveis na página eletrônica do referido órgão. A seleção dos casos práticos se deu aleatoriamente, sem comparar localização, perfil político e grau de repetitividade. O que se buscou foi apresentar o que é considerado bastante “grosseiro” do ponto de vista de erros administrativos. Preliminarmente, o estudo trata de aspectos gerais da licitação pública, abordando os princípios setoriais deste microssistema jurídico e as diferentes modalidades estabelecidas pelo ordenamento. Na sequência, adentrando na proposta central deste trabalho, foram examinados alguns casos práticos constatados a partir de fiscalizações em atividades de execução de obras públicas em diversos períodos e locais do Brasil. O instrumento utilizado na sondagem foram os registros oficiais dos órgãos públicos de controle, bem como, seus documentos disponíveis em suas páginas eletrônicas. A título de conclusão foi possível verificar inúmeras lacunas no tocante a organização destes procedimentos, causa principal do não cumprimento da legislação especializada. VICIOUS BIDDING PRACTICES: ANALYSIS OF CASES INVESTIGATED BY THE BRAZILIAN OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL (CGU) ABSTRACT The main scope of this research focuses on investigating some of the most common vicious practices during bidding processes in the Brazilian public sector. The research was developed in the exploratory methodology, being applied from practical cases examined by one of the organs of fiscalization and control of the Brazilian public money. We studied seventy (70) of the Comptroller General's reports, which are available on the website of this public agency. The selection of practical cases occurred randomly, without comparing location, political profile and degree of repetitiveness. What was sought was to present what is considered quite "huge" from the point of view of administrative errors. Preliminarily, the study deals with general aspects of public bidding, addressing the sectoral principles of this legal micro-system and the different modalities established by the ordinance. Following, in the central proposal of this work, we examined some practical cases verified from inspections in activities of execution of public works in diverse periods and places of Brazil. The instrument used in the survey were the official records of the public control bodies, as well as their documents available on their electronic pages. As a conclusion, it was possible to identify a number of shortcomings in the organization of these procedures, the main cause of non-compliance with the specialized legislation.

Introduction / Main Objective : This study aims to reveal the existence of community conceptions related to profit sharing (Sharia economics), usury, bank interest (conventional), in terms of Islamic economics, where these 3 (three) things are unique and interesting if we discuss in the era of disruption like today. Background: The era of discipline 4.0 as it is now is very interesting and unique regarding the study of the prohibition of usury in Indonesia, what is unique is the Khilafiyah which is the basis for especially Muslims (sharia economic actors), the need for tolerance between the views of schools of thought in Indonesia regarding this usury in sharia economics (muamalah) in order to benefit together in this world and in the hereafter. Research Methods: This study uses the Library Research Method and collects data obtained by means of literature studies from books and journals relevant to studies on usury and bank interest (conventional), profit sharing (Islamic economics).Novelty: Related to research on the perspective of Islamic economics in the current era of disruption, especially in Indonesia regarding usury, and bank interest (conventional), as well as profit sharing (Islamic economics) so far no one has examined it.Findings: from a sharia economic point of view related to profit sharing, usury and also bank interest have a good impact on the economy in Indonesia, where the profit sharing system can help people in terms of social resilience, and overcome social inequalities (making tahsin / benefit of the ummah).Conclusion: The public, in their view of usury, bank interest and profit sharing within the Islamic economic community, requires tolerance in punishing these three things, as a result there is no "bank interest" in the Shariāh economic sphere (replaced by profit sharing), which is currently being shared. this outcome (Islamic economics) is seen as an effective measure to prevent conflict in gaps in dealing with impacts on the Economy and Social Affairs, as well as resilience to the community environment.

The One

One-stop government refers to the integration of public services from a customer’s (citizen, business) point of view. One-stop government suggests that customers may request any public service through a single point of access using the communication channel of their choice (e.g., citizen center, call center, Internet, etc.). The one-stop concept further attempts to reduce the number of contacts with the authorities per service consumption to a minimum— one single interaction at best. The information and public services offered are organized and integrated in a customer-focused manner to address the personal needs and to cover the exact requirements of the citizens and business customers. To exploit the potential of one-stop government, the public sector should be accommodated with a set of information and communication technology tools that allow the back-office processes to interoperate. The public servants may thereafter use these tools in order to create and manage information and integrated public services that match the needs of their customers. In this chapter, the concept of online one-stop government is examined and a framework for realizing one-stop government is proposed. The proposed framework consists of process models and an open interoperable software architecture. A demonstrator that has been developed to implement the architectural design is also presented. Furthermore, the results of the trial use of the demonstrator in three European countries are outlined. Finally, experiences gained are provided and impact is assessed.

Sectional Conflict

One of the principal sectional issues in nineteenth-century American politics related to Federal subsidies for major transportation facilities in the territories and newer western states. Not unreasonably, western political and business leaders contended that tax revenues in newly settled areas were insufficient to support the cost of large-scale public transport projects. Road and canal facilities were essential to regional economic development, declared a Cincinnati editor in 1824; yet “the Western states … are too poor, too exhausted, to engage in those public works.” The states recently admitted to the Union, he asserted, required “the fostering aid of the nation.” But appeals for such aid ran into a bedeviling series of political and financial obstacles. First, military expenditures during the War of 1812 and the legacy of war debt drained the Federal Treasury of surplus funds. Then, Jeffersonian “strict constructionists,” notably Presidents Madison and Monroe, questioned on constitutional grounds the propriety of an active Federal role in transport development. Underlying the tortured constitutional debates was a basic sectional conflict, which posed the eastern and southern states (some of which had been supplicants themselves for Federal aid a few years earlier) against the claims of the West. Of all the major western demands for Federal patronage, the National Road was virtually the only project approved before 1824.

AbstractThis paper aims to discuss the dynamic intersection between the spatial barriers and the tendency of the utilization of "mediated citizenship" by villagers in accessing public services. It is important to map out how villagers interact with authoritative service providers at the local government level, which is not done directly, but through the mediation of a third party, namely a local NGO that is implementing a program in their village. Based on the context of Oi Bura Village, the tendency of the utilization of mediator services of  "LAKPESDAM PCNU Kabupaten Bima" in accessing public services (especially the residential identities) began to take shape because it was triggered by the poor people's consideration about the spatial stretch of their village area with the site of the service provider that would have an impact on financial expenses and bureaucratic severity factors that must be passed when accessing these basic services. Although the residential identities should be obtained automatically based on formal status as an Indonesian citizen, in practice the access of the poor villagers to basic services is achieved through a third party mediation role. The limitations of the service providers' responsiveness, accountability and institutional capacity to act proactively in solving the public problems are increasingly opening up the chance for "permanence" of facilitation of the state-citizen interaction by third parties.Keywords: access, citizenship, mediator, service, space  AbstrakMakalah ini bertujuan untuk membahas persimpangan dinamis antara hambatan spasial dan kecenderungan pemanfaatan "mediated citizenhip" oleh warga desa dalam mengakses layanan publik. Penting untuk memetakan bagaimana masyarakat desa berinteraksi dengan pemberi layanan otoritatif di tingkat pemerintah daerah, yang tidak dilakukan secara langsung, melainkan melalui mediasi pihak ketiga, yaitu LSM lokal yang melaksanakan program di desanya. Berdasarkan konteks Desa Oi Bura, kecenderungan pemanfaatan jasa mediator “LAKPESDAM PCNU Kabupaten Bima” dalam mengakses pelayanan publik (khususnya identitas permukiman) mulai terbentuk karena dipicu oleh pertimbangan masyarakat miskin terhadap tata ruang. hamparan wilayah desanya dengan lokasi penyedia layanan yang tentunya berdampak pada pengeluaran keuangan dan faktor keparahan birokrasi yang harus dilalui saat mengakses layanan dasar tersebut. Meskipun identitas kependudukan seharusnya diperoleh secara otomatis berdasarkan status formal sebagai warga negara Indonesia, pada praktiknya akses masyarakat miskin terhadap layanan dasar dicapai melalui peran mediasi pihak ketiga. Keterbatasan daya tanggap, akuntabilitas, dan kapasitas kelembagaan penyedia layanan untuk bertindak proaktif dalam menyelesaikan masalah publik semakin membuka peluang untuk "kelanggengan" fasilitasi interaksi negara-warga oleh pihak ketiga.Kata kunci: akses, citizenship, mediator, layanan, ruang.

AbstractThis work aims to offer a contribution in the analysis and management, from an economic and financial point of view, of the flood risk, and extended to the hydrogeological risk, from the perspective of a public administration. As main responsible actor for containing the phenomenon through the maintenance of the territory, public administration is responsible for the cost of restoring of the services that have been damaged by this type of phenomenon. The assets of which the public administration must ensure the restoration are all public infrastructures (i.e. transportation, energy and water supply system, communication) together with the damage suffered by private property, if these affect services to be guaranteed to the population. In this work, the authors propose possible strategies that a public administration can put in place to deal with flood risk. Three main strategies are analysed: an absolute passivity that provides for the payment of damages as they occur (i.e. business-as-usual scenario), a classic insurance scheme, a resilient and innovative insurance scheme. The economic–financial profiles of these strategies proposed in this work put an emphasis on how the assumption of a time horizon can change the convenience of one strategy compared to the others. This study highlights the key role of the quantification of flood risk mitigation measure from an engineering perspective, and their potential issues to pursue these objectives in connection to the regulatory framework of the public administrations. This synergy is supported by the potential use of Blockchain-based tools. Within the paper is highlighted the key role that such platform IT data management platform could have within risk analysis and management schemes, both as a data collection tool and as certification of the various steps necessary to complete the process.

Cost and time overruns in public mega-projects have been widely studied and considered as interdependent factors in the literature on project management and the public economy. On the other hand, small-scale projects for public works (costing under €100 million) are far more common and contribute to transforming cities and territories even more than mega-projects. Is the development of these kinds of projects affected in the same way by overrun issues? Do cost and time overruns always go hand in hand? The present contribution tries to answer these questions by means of an empirical study on a dataset of 4781 small public works planned and built in the Veneto Region (north-east Italy) from 1999 to 2018. Specifically, the analysis refers to the stage of development when the decision is made to outsource the work, that is, after the project’s design and before its construction. Our sample of data is considered both as a whole and clustered by period, cost, contractor and category of work. The results of our analysis and statistical modeling are counterintuitive, suggesting that time overruns do not depend on the cost dimension, whereas norms and regulations play a crucial part in extending the duration of public works. The threshold by law of 1 million € costs implies time-consuming procedures to verify abnormal offers in the bid, that double the average award time from 244 days to 479 days.

The Cost

The outsourcing of public services has acquired a prominent position in the political agenda of many countries in recent decades. This paper contributes an analysis of the outsourcing of a public service under a theoretical framework based on a multitask principal-agent model. For the management of the service, a contract is assumed that includes certain incentives to the contractor linked to the outcomes in two types of activities: the first related to cost saving, and the second related to the improvement of the quality of the service. The main results of the paper show, in the first place, the conditions under which the outsourcing of a public service is economically unfeasible. Additionally, the paper shows that, under perfect information conditions, the optimal incentives include the contractor retaining all the cost savings. On the contrary, under conditions of asymmetric information on the quality of the service, the contract should stipulate a certain distribution of the cost savings between the public authority and the contractor. More in general, the formalization of the model presented in this work can contribute to a better understanding of the role of the contracts, and therefore to their improvement.
