Village funds are a form of the Republic of Indonesia's government program which launched the concept of Building Indonesia from Pingiran. This program is closely related to the empowerment of rural communities to improve community welfare. The budget, which has been launched in the amount of billions of rupiah for rural communities, is expected to bring changes in their daily lives. Community involvement in this program is intended so that the community is no longer the object of development but becomes the subject of development. On the other hand, village funds also have a negative effect, namely misuse of these funds by village officials. To explore the reality of this village fund, data on the use of funds has been used since its inception until now. To reveal this phenomenon, a study is needed to reveal the usage. This research was conducted in Gorontalo Regency which has 18 Districts, 191 Villages, which quantitatively has the largest number of villages in Gorontalo Province. Another thing about the selection of Gorontalo District as a research location is based on the consideration of having a coastal village and an agricultural village. The existence of these two villages is interesting to conduct research on village funds. In this study using qualitative methods with data collection stages, namely: initial observation, interviews and documents. The data analysis used was Huberman and Miles. The choice of the analysis method is based on the consideration of uncovering a phenomenon and nomena, which requires the researcher to directly associate and live with the community to be studied.Efforts made in the use of village funds are oriented towards long-term needs

Studying the historical facts of past wars and armed conflicts and natural and man-made emergencies, today in the Republic of Kazakhstan one of the most important security issues is the preparation and organization of the evacuation of the population from possible dangerous zones, taking into account the emergence of new threats to the country’s security. The paper presents an algorithm for constructing universal scales of the distribution function of opportunities by types of support and rebuilding them into subject scales using display functions. The purpose of the paper is to determine the integral indicators characterizing the possibility of accommodation of the evacuated population and the impact on resources during relocation. On the subject scales of cities and districts of the region, indicators of the possibility of relocation of a certain amount of the evacuated population by types of support and indicators characterizing the impact on the district’s resources during resettlement of a certain amount of the evacuated population are determined. It was concluded that the use of integrated indicators allows the selection of areas to accommodate the evacuated population without the use of statistical data, in conditions of incomplete and inaccurate information. The presented method does not replace traditional methods based on classical methods of territory assessment by the level of life sustenance, but also allows their reasonable combination with the experience of specialists in this field, taking into account the incompleteness, uncertainty, and inconsistency of the initial data of the study area, which does not allow the application of existing methods.

The object of interest in this sketch is an analysis of the vocabulary indicating selected elements of the world of fauna and fl ora in Symbolika wiosenna (Spring symbolism) by Stefania Ulanowska (Kraków 1884). The collected language material is characterised by wealth and complexity of the subject matter. The indicated vocabulary has not been characterised yet. This paper employs elements of the cognitivist description of language. The selection of this method enables depiction of the relation between linguistic knowledge and encyclopaedic knowledge. Language becomes an indispensible element of mental processes of the perception of the world (Tokarski 1995; Miodunka 1980). The analysis of the excerpted material clearly shows that the discussed spring symbolism usually invokes, contrary to the prototype, the semantic fi eld related to ‘śmierć’ (death) rather than ‘życie’ (life). The reconstructed image of the folk idea of spring largely deviates from the ideas established in the consciousness of language users in general, which is confi rmed by the discussed examples. It presents unit connotations that are individualised and present in the consciousness of members of small rural communities of those times. Keywords: Stefania Ulanowska – vocabulary of fauna and flora

The growth of central government debt in Indonesia is the subject of endless discussion for both economists and experts in other fields. Although the government uses this debt in order to increase Indonesia's competence through infrastructure development, there are problems in the form of previous accumulated debts. This accumulative debt is known as the concept of “debt stock” which is assessed through Indonesia's fiscal resilience (APBN) to measure the repayment capacity of new debts that will be made in the future. This ability will be seen using long-term data from 1990 to 2016 which is reflected in the variables of central government debt, government spending and revenue so that it is known that Indonesia's central government debt can still be said to be sustainable and the Indonesian government should prioritize productive expenditures in order to increase government revenues.

Circles of friends (trust) as a means for indigenous community development have been actively encouraged in Colinas de Suiza, Honduras. This effort at enhancing long-term community resilience is the latest in a 10 year relationship that includes a water project and two school construction activities within the village of ~10,000 economically poor. These techniques were utilized in part to provide an example of communities in partnership for universities involved in developing educational programs around practically-based engineering service learning projects. To enhance community involvement, children were included in the development process through creative educational activities involving music, graphical arts and dance. The initial two-month experience culminated in a fiesta or celebration of community. Project evaluation has yielded several positive indigenous results; namely the construction of a dining hall, supported by the local community where poorest children are fed, and the formation of a locally managed credit union where the local people can place their savings and apply for microloans for microenterprise development. This project is further testament to the belief that humanitarian efforts are most effective when performed consistently within the same locations and where the entire community is invited to organize, identify, discuss and solve their own problems.

Берестяные изделия в собрании Национального художественного музея Республики Саха (Якутия), выполненные в соответствии с канонами и художественным стилем, яркий показатель материальной и духовной культуры якутов. В статье представлена типология берестяных изделий из коллекции музея по способу изготовления и декору, дан анализ техники, комплекса выразительных средств и их символического значения. По якутским поверьям береза была священным деревом божеств Верхнего мира, она защищала человека от действий темных сил и болезней. Изделия из бересты помимо утилитарных целей имели важное культовое значение. В берестяных изделиях XX начала XXI века сохраняется архаичная стилистика и техника, демонстрируя нераздельность старого и нового. Каждая мастерица, выражая одухотворенное отношение к природе, обращается к огромному культурному пласту, используя многовековой отбор форм, орнаментики, технологических приемов, которые хранят в себе большие возможности. Бесконечно возрождающийся во множестве творческих вариантов, этот феномен демонстрирует единство в традиционном русле якутской пластики. In the collection of the National Fine Arts Museum of the Republic of Sakha (Yakuita), birch bark items, made in accordance with the canons and artistic style, are a bright indicator of the material and spiritual culture of the Yakuts. The article presents the typology of birch bark objects from the Museums collection by the method of manufacturing and decoration, analyzes the technique, the complex of expressive means and their symbolic meaning. According to Yakut beliefs, birch was a sacred tree of the deities of the Upper World, protecting a person from the actions of dark forces and diseases. Therefore, the objects of birch bark, in addition to utilitarian purposes, had important cult significance, an eternal meaning. Archaic style and technique are preserved in birch bark objects of the 20th early 21st century, demonstrating the indivisibility of the old and the new. Each craftswoman, expressing a spiritual attitude towards nature, turns to a huge cultural stratum, using the centuriesold selection of forms, ornaments, and technological methods that keep endless possibilities. Infinitely reviving in a variety of creative options, this phenomenon demonstrates unity in the traditional course of the Yakut plastics.

Participating in State Defense is one of the important mandates contained in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. State Defense needs to be done by all responsible holders in creating Indonesia as a smart and prosperous nation. State Defense becomes important because national defense and security activities are not only left entirely to TNI and POLRI institutions.Therefore, various efforts are needed to reach all elements of Indonesian citizens who are dynamic and varied in their knowledge. The village community as a distinctive entity for Indonesian citizenship has not been properly touched with regard to efforts to instill awareness of defending the country. This article will discuss in detail the potential for the involvement of local wisdom values in the development of awareness of state defense in rural communities. Local wisdom is part of the strategy of a particular community group in order to achieve their needs. The research method used is qualitative. This research was conducted by studying literature with qualitative data collection techniques in the form of a literature study (literature). Meanwhile, the data analysis process used is data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion. The results show that the approach to the value of local wisdom has an influence on the awakening of awareness of state defense in rural communities. The nature of the approach based on the valuesof local wisdom which is closely related to the habits of community life has implications for the awakening of awareness of state defense in such levels of society. Ikut serta dalam Bela Negara merupakan salah satu amanat penting yang termuat dalam Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945.

This research is based on the view of the deliberation forum in the village which should be able to provide dialogue space and community involvement as the subject of development planning, however, the facts that are seen are that the community in Maguwoharjo village is still seen as an object of development planning and the essence of the deliberation forum in the public sphere in the village has not been able to reflect in full by the people in the area. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence deliberation in development planning deliberations and analyze points of weakness in the deliberation process in Maguwoharjo village. The method in this study uses qualitative research methods with data analysis techniques using NVivo12plus software. The results showed that the leadership factor had a percentage of around 36% in influencing community involvement, the socio-cultural factor in the village had a percentage of around 15% where each figure involved had a dominant view that was very thick with Javanese Culture, from the aspect of communication, had a percentage of around 13% in conveying the interests of village development, then, local political factors have a percentage of around 13%, where every participant involved in the village consultation forum has the same interest in development in his area. This study found that the leadership factor was very dominant in influencing the community to be actively involved in the village discussion forum and still found several weaknesses in the deliberation process in the village.

This paper analyses the contemporary structure and functioning of Dagestan’s rural communities in a context of internal Russian migration, particularly to the cities of Western Siberia. The concepts of transnationalism and translocality are deployed as a theoretical framework to analyse the migrant and his social world without detaching ourselves from the donor community, the djamaat. It is argued that the Dagestan rural community, in the course of the migration processes of recent decades, can no longer be viewed merely as a local social entity. A new translocal community has emerged, organized on the principle of the 'Global Village', that consists of migrants, their family members and non-migrants remaining in the home villages. Translocal migrants, existing simultaneously in several geographically separated points, continue to construct their identity and their social networks, a process that fosters a sense of belonging to a Dagestani village. The donor rural community is an important space where migrants can demonstrate personal successes and new entrepreneurial and philanthropic economic activities. Migrants invest not only in their own households but also help their native villages as a whole through entrepreneurial activity and financial support. In addition, the key moments of life remain rooted in the village. Migrants prefer to find a marriage partner from their home village. The home village is also seen to be the only acceptable burial place for deceased migrants. A major role in the consolidation of a translocal djamaat is played by Internet resources such as social networks and messenger programmes, which construct social networks and maintain communication among fellow countrymen in real time. This preference for preserving ties to one’s rural locality even after resettlement out of the village and the Republic of Dagestan, as well as the maintenance of translocal links, allow us to speak of a new social entity: the translocal community.

During the last two decades we have witnessed great improvements in ICT hardware and software technologies. Three-dimensional content is starting to become commonplace now in many applications. Although for many years 3D technologies have been used in the generation of assets by researchers and experts, nowadays these tools are starting to become commercially available to every citizen. This is especially the case for smartphones, that are powerful enough and sufficiently widespread to perform a huge variety of activities (e.g. paying, calling, communication, photography, navigation, localization, etc.), including just very recently the possibility of running 3D reconstruction pipelines. The REPLICATE project is tackling this particular issue, and it has an ambitious vision to enable ubiquitous 3D creativity via the development of tools for mobile 3D-assets generation on smartphones/tablets. This article presents the REPLICATE project’s concept and some of the ongoing activities, with particular attention being paid to advances made in the first year of work. Thus the article focuses on the system architecture definition, selection of optimal frames for 3D cloud reconstruction, automated generation of sparse and dense point clouds, mesh modelling techniques and post-processing actions. Experiments so far were concentrated on indoor objects and some simple heritage artefacts, however, in the long term we will be targeting a larger variety of scenarios and communities.
