Local economic development is one of the means regional governments frequently employ to improve community welfare. However, improper management and development patterns would lead to failure in the implementation of economic development or outside communities may enjoy the benefits of economic development instead. Umbul Ponggok is a community-based tourist destination and it has, to this day, been capable of becoming a source of livelihood for most of the residents living in the area. The community’s involvement at every level of the decision making process and implementation guarantees continuity in the local economy they develop. Additionally, the transparent and accountable management in place ensures the high level of trust people have. Such superior level of trust and involvement was no overnight feat, persistence and wholeheartedness of initiators along with the support of various parties (university, banking institutions, NGO, and others) made certain that the numerous issues encountered were resolved, all challenges overcome, and every opportunity taken.

Tourism Revenue

With the rapid development of tourism, tourism revenue, as one of the important indicators to measure the development of the tourism economy, has high research value. The quasi-prediction of tourism revenue can drive the development of a series of related industries and accelerate the development of the domestic economy. When forecasting tourism income, it is necessary to examine the causal relationship between tourism income and local economic development. The traditional cointegration analysis method is to extract the promotion characteristics of tourism income to the local economy and construct a tourism income prediction model, but it cannot accurately describe the causal relationship between tourism income and local economic development and cannot accurately predict tourism income. We propose an optimized forecasting method of tourism revenue based on time series. This method first conducts a cointegration test on the time series data of the relationship between tourism income and local economic development, constructs a two-variable autoregressive model of tourism income and local economy, and uses the swarm intelligence method to test the causal relationship and the relationship between tourism income and local economic development, calculate the proportion of tourism industry, define the calculation result as the direct influence factor of tourism industry on the local economy, calculate the relevant effect of local tourism development and economic income, and construct tourism income optimization forecast model. The simulation results show that the model used can accurately predict tourism revenue.

Development Practice

In recent times, the term ‘local economic development’ has been conceptualised and introduced as a bottom-up participatory development strategy in Ghana. It is intended to be implemented at the district level to facilitate the revitalisation of the local economy and create jobs for local residents. Using in-depth interviews and the analysis of relevant policy documents, this paper evaluates efforts aimed at institutionalising the practice in local institutional frameworks and development planning practice in the country. The paper found out that processes aimed at institutionalising contemporary local economic development practice in Ghana are not making any meaningful impact. Institutional frameworks such as the structuring of development policymaking and planning in the country are still rigid and promote bureaucratic top-down development decision-making processes. Similarly, the promotion of a meaningful bottom-up decentralised planning system is only a well-packaged talk by policymakers in the country. Evidence shows that there is a clear lack of political will to implement reforms, particularly the new decentralisation policy that seeks to make District Assemblies in Ghana responsive to local economic development promotion. There is the need for a conscious effort towards making local economic development practice matter in national and local development endeavour in Ghana.

The One

For over a century in Egypt, the Suez Canal Company reflected the role of the concession in European economic expansion overseas. Concession was a European business practice widespread in Egypt; it was an institution inherited from a system of privileges for Europeans since the Middle Ages. It promised a way for Egypt to adopt modern infrastructures and receive needed European help for digging the canal. The results of the Suez Company are indisputable: the desert of the Suez Isthmus became a lively economic region with active ports, growing cities, and an expanding labor force. And the region was linked to the rest of the country by a new road network. At the same time, however, the concession system denied Egypt full benefit of this infrastructure. The canal served the financial and strategic interests of the company, not the interests of the local economy. This outcome embodied all the contradictions of the concession system: on the one hand, concessions were a necessity for modern infrastructure development in Egypt; on the other, they were a hindrance to further national economic development.

This paper examines the challenges confronting community-based geotourism as a tool for Local Economic Development in a poor rural community based in the Free State province of South Africa. Data were collected through interviews that were held with participants of the Witsie Cave project, local community leaders and municipal officials, as well as through the content analysis of the project’s documents. The results indicate the need to address a conundrum of intertwined endogenous and exogenous conditions as a strategy for enhancing the viability of community-based geotourism projects.

AbstractThis study is motivated by a phenomenon of the low level of welfare and the economy of the Indonesian people. The concept of Local Economic Development (LED) by utilizing local institutions in developing the economy can be one solution. This study aims to find out the role of the Jogokariyan Mosque institutions in efforts to develop the local economy. Yogyakarta Jogokariyan Mosque is one example of successful mosque institutions in efforts to encourage local economic development by looking at the effects of change and the many achievements. The type of this study is qualitative research, with a case study approach. The results show that there are four roles played by the Jogokariyan Mosque institutions in local economic development efforts, namely expansion of opportunities for small communities in employment and business opportunities, expansion for the community to increase income, empowerment of micro business institutions in the production and marketing process and institutional empowerment of partnership network between the government, private sector entity and local community. This study shows that the existence of mosques in Indonesia is very strategic and has the potential to overcome public problems, especially economic problems in local communities.AbstrakPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fenomena rendahnya tingkat kesejahteraan dan perekonomian bangsa Indonesia.

Political Concern

During the 1980s local economic policy became an issue of major political concern. The polarisation of the New Right market‐led strategies advanced by the Thatcher governments and the New Left-inspired counter-response, typified by the last years of the GLC, reflected the tenor of national political and economic debates at the time. Arguably, in the 10 years since the abolition of the GLC, local economic development has been devoid (some might say spared) of any “big idea” arising from wider political debates. Recently, however, there have been signs that a new political direction may be emerging at the national level with significant implications for local economic policy. That direction is the notion of stakeholding.
