The social movement renowned as the "sharing economy" is becoming increasingly noticeable in online peer-to-peer platforms recently. One of these platforms is Airbnb; an accommodation marketplace that offers access to alternative accommodation. These platforms have a mega important socio-economic impact on tourist destinations. Old Cairo historic area encounters a lot of historical, heritage, and cultural features and folklores. Many owners of private homes in the area use them to accommodate guests and visitors to the area. Unfortunately, this is taking place under no organization or control by the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) since Egyptian accommodation regulations do not include a classification for such rent places. However, the area is well known among tourists and visitors and is included in downtown tours organized by tour operators and guides. This paper discusses the idea of using these homes as rent listings using the Airbnb platform among the executives of Historical Cairo Development Project (HCDP), Ministry of Tourism (MoT), and Egyptian Tourism Federation (ETF) as well as academics heading Heritage programs in Egyptian, Bahrain, and British Universities. This paper is devoted to revealing the differences in these perceptions among guests, professional practitioners, and academics, and officials "executives" of the government. Results indicate that all parties are in line with the idea and they recommended a change of regulations for that purpose.

At the end of 1971 the Government designated the extention of the Community Development Project to the planned total of twelve areas. The project was then described as ‘a national action-research experiment’ carried out in selected urban localities in order to discover ‘how far the social problems experienced by people in a local community can be better understood and resolved through closer co-ordination of all agencies in the social welfare field – central and local government and the voluntary organizations – together with the local people themselves’. There was a special emphasis placed on the importance of ‘citizen involvement and community self-help’, together with the expectation that ‘the lessons learned can be fed back into social policy, planning and administration, both at central and local government level’.

Disasters are inevitable.  The island resorts in Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines are vulnerable to natural risks such as typhoons and earthquake. In increasing disaster resilience, a model should be based on risk assessment results and be integrated with the strategic planning of the government and communities. It should consider risks and risk treatments across the social, built, economic and natural environments (Councils for Australian Governments, 2009). The study aimed to propose a disaster resiliency model for Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines. The output of this study is a guide for the local community in case of natural disasters.  The descriptive survey method was utilized using a two survey questionnaires. The data regarding disaster preparedness in hotel resorts are gathered from the 80 respondents consists of the staff and managers of resorts in Malapascua Island, emergency rescue personnel, as well as the village officials of village Logon and municipal officials of Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines.  Simple percentage and rank were used in the treatment of the data.  Results showed that island is vulnerable to risk and that devised plans for emergency disasters, hazard mitigation, and contingency are needed. The researchers recommended the use of the model. However, further research on its effectiveness should be conducted to confirm the preliminary findings.

ONE -- of the infrastructure development project was a port that has been done by the government of Indonesia, Sadeng Beach Fishery Port, in Girisubo District Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The emergence of ports in the area of Sadeng Beach Gunung Kidul brought changes to the community around Sadeng Beach area, considering the population in the area is not a fishing area. This research is an ethnographic research, within the researchers directly involved in various community activities in PPP Sadeng. Initially, the government brought fishermen from Gombong regency, Central Java to initiate the operation of the port. The construction of the harbor at Sadeng Beach is a government effort to improve the economy of the people around Sadeng Beach. However, the construction of ports in the middle of the farming community brings the consequences of socio-economic changes in the community around Sadeng Beach, especially the changes in the economic pattern of farmers to fisherman and the emergence of various types of fishermen in PPP Sadeng, the social cohesion changed among the community including the local fishermen with newcomers, and the emergence of new traditions.

This paper explores the relationship between local lineage social structure and the workings of tax registration in Qing China, through a case study providing documentary evidence of a level of precision that enables us to go beyond the findings of previous scholarship. In the first instance, it reconstructs a tax dispute where implications of the registration system come into play, based on rare records made by the taxpayers themselves. In doing so, it shows that (a) the registered “acreage” of land was in fact unrelated to any actual land whatsoever; (b) tax collection ceased to be able to rely on knowledge of the terrain and had to depend on knowing the social groups that could be held responsible for payment, while the cohesion and internal differentiation of these social groups was (in turn) underpinned by tax collection and registration; and (c) since the registration system did not permit the government to keep track of actual landholding, property rights had to be secured at the local community level. In conclusion, an attempt is made to speculate on the extent to which this specific case contributes to our knowledge of local social structure, the interactions between localities and the government, and the property regime of Qing China overall.

Preservation requires the use, utilization and necessity of community involvement. Every effort to use cultural heritage must pay attention to the preservation of nature and the surrounding environment. Educational aspects for each tourism policy must be included and included in the curriculum and learning in schools. In Riau, efforts have been made to make a complete cultural heritage with its eco-tourism as part of tourist destinations. These efforts are carried out by the community, both individually and in the form of communities. Various efforts that are growing in this area require guidance and assistance from the government. There are groups of people who are active in the utilization of historical heritage, but they have not received attention and have not been cooperated by the government in order to develop the people's economy through ecotourism. preservation of cultural heritage. There are focus and priority, such as Siak Regency, but there are some who still have not relied on the nature-based tourism sector as a regional asset. However, in various circles, both government and society, the desire to make historical heritage as an eco-tourism destination is growing.

Instrumental Role

This chapter reflects on the challenge of accommodating competing approaches to public service delivery. Discourse around the social determinants of health is skewed towards the parts of the population whose adverse social circumstances harm their health the most. Local authorities are much closer to the complexities of service delivery than central government departments, and thus have an instrumental role to play in efforts to support these groups. They do not play this role alone — it is shared with other local delivery agencies, such as Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships in the National Health Service (NHS), as well as private providers and local community groups. There has always been much debate around what role each of these actors should play, and how they might interact with one another so as to create masterful theatre rather than a depressing farce. This question continues to be the focus of much policymaking, experimentation, and debate. The chapter then considers the West London Zone for Children and Young People, a cross-sector delivery partnership. It also explores some of the intersecting themes across other efforts, drawing on research from the Government Outcomes Lab.

Numerous national parks have been established worldwide to protect nature, but this has not been without social consequences for neighbouring communities. Since the social and economic vitality of adjacent communities is being recognized more and more as indispensable for the success of conservation objectives, the quality of park-community relations has become a critical issue. A four-year investigation into the social impacts engendered by two national parks situated in the Saguenay region of Quebec (Canada) was conducted, according to a social impact assessment method. Several impacts and changes were identified on resource management, on the local economy, on the tourist industry, on involvement and participation of local actors and on the social organization of the neighbouring communities. The significance of these impacts varied according to the community and the actors involved. The results of the present research point to the determining role of the government in general, and of the park management in particular, in the process of local community development. In this regard, recommendations are addressed to local communities to improve their partnership with national parks.
