AbstractOrnamental plantations in cities and particularly botanical gardens and arboreta are rich sources of alien flora. Mlyňany Arboretum, established in 1892, cultivates 1049 non-native woody plant species on the area of 67 ha. In this work we answered following questions: 1. How many taxa are spontaneously spreading in the arboretum and how is the spreading intensity related to their ecological demands and reproduction traits? 2. How many taxa appear behind the fence? 3. How far from the arboretum they can get? 4. Do private gardens and historical aristocratic park in the studied village cluster contribute to species escapes from culture? 5. Which from the widely spread taxa can represent future risk of invasiveness on the national level? We found that about one tenth of taxa spread across the arboretum (particularly Cotoneaster spp., Prunus laurocerasus, P. serotina and Quercus rubra) and number of their seedlings corresponded only with the mother plant number. Almost one third of these species left the arboretum and their seedlings were observed in distance up to 500 m from the village (mainly Mahonia aquifolium, P. serotina). Private gardens were a large source of Juglans regia seedlings, frequency of which decreased with the distance from villages (no species escaped from the historical park). Weed risk assessment revealed potential invasion danger only for Amorpha fruticosa.

<p><em>The state has provided a lot of welfare to the citizens of rural communities, who make up the largest part of this nation. Socio-economic welfare as a public interest has been pursued by the state with its authority, including in the form of a policy to establish Village Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa). The issuance of Law Number 6 of 2014, PP Number 43 of 2014 and the Village Regulation of PDTT Number 4 of 2015 relating to the interests of the village community, became a strong foundation for the establishment of BUM Desa. In Karawang Regency, this was followed up with the issuance of Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 and Perbup Number 35 of 2020. One of the problems when public policy was implemented started from the substance of policies that were bad policy, unclear, not operational/incomplete, ambiguous, and contradictory.</em><em> </em><em>The research uses normative juridical methods and literature review. The results of the study indicate that the issue of welfare of rural communities is embodied in various state/government regulations. There is a relationship between the local government as an operational policy maker and the policy environment as well as a hierarchical relationship with policy makers regarding BUM Desa at the national level. There are several policy substances that are considered bad policies, because they are unclear, not operational/incomplete, ambiguous and contradictory. This will have implications for the ineffective implementation of BUM Desa policies by implementers at the lowest level of government.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em> : evaluation, public policy, village-owned enterprises</em></p>

India in the early years of the twenty-first century achieved per capita growth rates that were historically unprecedented. Poverty reduction also accelerated. There is concern, however, that this growth was accompanied by a rise in inequality. In this chapter, we report on a research project that examines inequality trends and dynamics at the all-India level over three decades up to 2011/12 and contrasts these with evidence at the level of the village or the urban block. We further unpack inequality to explore dynamics in terms of the movement of people within the income distribution over time. The assessment of mobility is informed both by evidence at the very local level, and by aggregate, national-level trends. The study attempts, further, to assess horizontal inequalities into a measure of inequality of opportunity as captured by inter-generational mobility in education outcomes.

The village is the foremost and closest government agent and is able to directly touch the interests of the community. One of its efforts is through the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), which in Aceh are called the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMG). In its management, BUMG has several management principles, one of which is participation. Therefore, women also have the right to participate in the management of BUMG. Blang Krueng Village is one of the villages that has the best BUMG in Aceh and the 2016 National level of participation category. This study aims to look at the participation of women in the management of BUMG in Blang Krueng Village and the factors that influence women's participation in the management of BUMG in Blang Krueng Village. In this study, researchers used descriptive qualitative research. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the management of BUMG Blang Krueng Village has involved women in the planning process, delivery of aspirations, implementation and evaluation. In organizing, women are also involved as managers. It can be seen from 11 (eleven) business units that have been established, there are 5 (five) Blang Krueng BUMG business units which are chaired by women

The Government of Bojonegoro Regency was an Indonesia representative in Open Government Partnership (OGP) of Subnational Government Pilot Program. This achievement raised new energy to implement openness in rural government. This policy was also in line with Rural Law. Mean while, to implement government openness, the use of e-Government was highly prioritized. By e-Government, the governance would be effective and efficient. However, only one of 419 villages in Bojonegoro succesded in implementing government openness, that was Pejambon Village. This village won the best website in East Java in 2016 and 2017. There after, it took the first place as the most informative and transparant village in national level in 2018. This research uses qualitative descriptive research methods. The results show that in general the success of E-Government implementation in the open government in Pejambon village is influenced by three main factors. First governing factors that include vision, leadership, and funding. Second, organizational factors that include policy, human resources, and collaboration. Third, technical factors that include IT infrastructure and IT standars. However, there are some indicators that need to get attention and improved by the village government of Pejambon, namely Funding, human resources, and IT infrastructure. If not immediately handled seriously, the future will impede the implementation of open government in Pejambon village.Keywords: Open Government, Succes Factors, e-Government, Grassroots, Village

The success of the government is determined by essential aspects of the village and has increased every day and has changed into a town that has independence in carrying out activities and survival by each of its residents, to support and improve the quality of government villages which motivate for villages to compete to become the best village through a series of costs to improve the quality of the town. The process of determining the best village starts from the sub-district. The winner will be smart at the city district level up to the national level, in the process of determining the best town according to government regulations in sending villages with five aspects and each aspect that has specified specifications and through validation from the government In the process of the government in the form of a committee conducting visits and conducting assessments based on the completeness of the data with the team for each aspect and giving to the committee based on individual orders, the value submitted will do the calculation by determining the final cost of the process of finding an average value -average overall and do the division of the total aspects. To assist the procedure in choosing the best village, the researcher wants to develop an online decision support system application with features that will be equipped in the developed application by uploading documents according to conditions in the field and documentation carried out by the team towards the village, so that the order process is open. It can be witnessed by all concerned, while in the Calculation and analysis Process using the OWA (ORDERED WEIGHTED AVERAGE) combination operator to determine the average value calculation and the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) Method as part of the ranking of several existing villages

The lack of standardised thematic maps in Indonesia has lead to many land ownership conflicts on the ground. The problem began since Indonesia started to exploit its natural resources by giving up its management to the market in the early 1960s. Concessions to exploit natural resources were given out without adequate assessment to real potential value of the resources. Mapping of concession areas by respective ministries without any standardised method or reference lead to the production of multiple official maps that conflict one another. Efforts to standardise the conflicting maps were initiated in 2011 and is currently still ongoing. This study aims to derive governance performance indices that directly or indirectly affect the map standaridising process. This study interviewed sources related to either the policy making process at the national level; government officials executing the policy at the provincial level and those affected by the conflict and other stakeholders advocating their rights. Interviewees include a number of officials in the central government both current and when the initiative were launched, provincial government and at the village level. To achieve sustainable development in environmental management, good governance is a prerequisite. However, the study found that sectoral ego and low government performance including, among others, corruption played a big role in hindering the process. By adding governance performance indices along with natural and economic variables to a forecast model, it can be predicted when Indonesia will likely to achieve its ideal level of harmonised maps.

Приведены сведения о коллекции интродуцентов в дендрарии Учебно-опытного лесхоза Сибирского государственного университета науки и технологий им. акад. М. Ф. Решетнёва (СибГУ). Начало создания дендрария относится к 1948 г. В настоящее время коллекция представлена видами дальневосточной, европейской, сибирской, североамериканской флор, Японии и Китая. Коллекции ив и аллее лип придан статус «Памятника природы». В дендрарии произрастают редкие и исчезающие виды, нуждающиеся в охране и вошедшие в «Красную книгу СССР» (1978) – Princepia sinensis, а также в сводку «Редкие и исчезающие растения Сибири» (1980) – Euonymus maackii, Euonymus sacrosancta, Viburnum opulus, Tilia cordata, Hippophaë rhamnoides, Securinega suffruticosa, Padus avium, Malus baccata. Высоты древесных видов варьируют в основном в пределах 8,0-19,0 м. Наибольшей высоты достигли Pinus sibirica, P. koraiensis, Picea obovata, Abies sibirica, Tilia cordata (20-23 м). Из семян, собранных в дендрарии, выращивается посадочный материал (сеянцы собственной репродукции), которые используются для создания отделения вторичной интродукции. Плодо(семе)ношение разной интенсивности отмечено у всех видов. Большинство из них находятся в хорошем состоянии, особенно интродуценты дальневосточной флоры. В группу со слабой жизненностью отнесены Amorpha fruticosa, Vitis amurensis, Quercus rubra, Acer platanoides, Mahonia aquifolium, Securinega suffruticosa.
