The number of the elderly in the overall population is increasing, which poses a need to seek an adequate model of organizing social care of the elderly. Most of them get social safety through the social welfare system. A functional and sustainable social welfare system requires application of efficient management and technique models based on the theoretical premises of contemporary management. The role and the importance of old people's protection in a social welfare system is becoming a topic of great importance both for theoreticians and the practitioners in the social sector area. This research analyzes the management functions and the roles of managers in running social protection of the elderly in the example of the social welfare system in the Republic of Srpska. A decentralized system, such as the one existing in the Republic of Srpska, brings along a number of organizational problems which points out to a need to apply the theoretical bases of managerial processes. The results obtained via empirical analyses indicate a number of deficiencies and obstacles in the implementation of social protection of the elderly in the social welfare system of the Republic of Srpska which are result of the insufficient and inconsistent application of the basic managerial elements. The obstacles emerging from this analysis indicate that there are chances and opportunities to improve the system and enhance the development of new forms of protection by applying managerial theories. .

The current situation of the socio-economic life of the elderly now in part reflects Vietnam’s historical characteristics. The socio-economic structure in Vietnam has changed drastically due to the development of market relations, migration, the transformation of traditional society and modern agricultural societies that are creating forms and levels of socio-economic risk for the elderly. Based on the data from two communes, the article shows that, older men are more likely to receive monthly social transfers than women. Elder ly people with higher education receive higher monthly social benefits than lower education one. The elderly in rural areas surveyed hardly enjoy any social welfare programmes. The only beneficiaries are those who must be 80 years or older without a pension or other allowance. Some older people are entitled to benefits but only from programmes not reserved for the elderly. In order to live, the elderly still have to work, mainly in agriculture. This fact reflects the contrast and inadequacy of retirement and health regulations, which stipulate that workers must stop working at a certain age. The enjoyment of social welfare differs between elderly groups with different personal and social characteristics. It can be said that elderly people in rural areas who are not entitled to social welfare benefits are “double disadvantaged”. This mandates that the policy should be aimed at all the elderly in ensuring social welfare. Along with this, it is necessary to have a roadmap to increase the level of monthly social welfare benefits for the elderly to gradually achieve the minimum living standard because the current level of support for the elderly in Vietnam is still much lower than the comparable level for the poor. The process of population ageing in Vietnam is bringing great opportunities as well as great challenges, requiring new approaches to pensions, social pensions, health and the social environment for the elderly in rural areas.

The social welfare of the elderly is an action as an effort to fulfill the needs of the community, especially the elderly who are unable to carry out their social functions, namely by providing assistance and sponsorship services. Thus, it is hoped that the elderly can improve their welfare so that they can live properly. According to Government Regulation Number 43 of 2004, what is meant by efforts to improve the social welfare of the elderly is a series of activities carried out in a coordinated manner between the government and the community to empower the elderly so that the elderly can continue to carry out their social functions and play an active role naturally in the life of the community, nation and state. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 13 of 1998 concerning the Welfare of the Elderly states that efforts to improve the social welfare of the elderly are carried out on the basis of faith and devotion to God Almighty. Efforts to improve social welfare are aimed at extending the life expectancy and productive period, creating independence and welfare, maintaining the cultural value system and kinship of the Indonesian nation, and getting closer to God Almighty.

This article explores the current scenario of urban agglomerations, drawing attention to the growth of population and the process of unruled urbanization that endangers the delicate balance between human settlements and the surrounding environment. It focuses on the heritage values as fundamental elements for a correct urban development and highlights the impacts that metropolises and megacities have on climate change and the effects on them produced by COVID-19. It then looks at the role that minor cities and towns play and the coming opportunity to revamp them using new technologies and connectivity corridors and to mitigate urbanization. It concludes by observing how complex urban problems must be faced with a comprehensive vision that is driven by the social quality approach and an engagement with the BRICS countries.
