This study aims to determine the fulfillment of the needs of victims of natural disasters through the implementation of a social assistance distribution system for victims of natural disasters that occurred in Padang Pariaman Regency. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach that describes the social assistance distribution system for victims of natural disasters with an orientation towards meeting the needs of the victims. It can also be categorized as exploratory research which studies a number of cases of aid distribution towards meeting the needs of victims. Data collection was carried out by direct interviews with officials who were directly involved in the distribution of aid, direct observation to victims of natural disasters, document review, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data analysis, using descriptive-qualitative techniques. The results of the study conclude that the current social assistance distribution system for victims of natural disasters has not yet achieved the goal, namely meeting the needs of victims of natural disasters. Long mechanisms and procedures, incompatible with regional conditions, and the absence of potential synergy of personnel are factors between the ineffectiveness of the social assistance distribution system for victims of natural disasters in Padang Pariaman Regency. The results of the study recommend that in formulating a policy for the distribution of social assistance systems for victims of natural disasters, it should begin with periodic mapping of disaster events and the needs of victims, involving victims as recipients of assistance in accordance with the mandate of Article 26 of Law No.24 of 2007 concerning National Disaster Management. Local governments should be given full authority to implement policies in accordance with regional conditions and disaster characteristics. The granting of this authority should be included in the regional autonomy law regarding the rights of regional governments in the case of natural disaster management, specifically included in local regional regulations.

This study aims to look at an overview of productive economic efforts and social assistance carried out at the research sites, namely in South Buton District and Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study used descriptive qualitative methods with independent interviewers followed by focus group discussion (FGD) on 17 informants in the South Buton District and nine informants (assistants) in Kolaka Regency and two critical informants from the social services of Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results of the study show that: 1) The productive economic business of the poor who receive assistance from the government has gone well, with limited capacity possessed by the assistants. Productive commercial enterprises can be seen from two things, namely: a) Types, benefits, and business synchronisation; where the type of business being run must come from the recipient of assistance and synchronise with the government program. Various benefits obtained by the poor from the Ministry of Social Affairs program in the form of aid to this effort, both in the form of KUBE and UEP, including the business potential that has been owned by the poor because there is no working capital can be overcome besides the economy in the area is also increasingly passionate. b) The potential of productive economic enterprises in the two research locations is still very high, the extent of both areas characterises this, the possibility of agriculture, fisheries, energy, the trade which are still mostly untapped so that if all of these can be optimised then productive economic efforts can develop optimally. 2) Mentoring has gone well even though there are still limitations that the facilitators have, including limited coordination skills, basic abilities, analytical skills, technological utilisation abilities, and entrepreneurship skills.

For the sake of implementing the handling of the poor to provide optimal, effective, and efficient social assistance, which is carried out by government agencies, it is necessary to evaluate appropriate recipients of this assistance. It is necessary to carry out a process of monitoring and evaluating recipients of social assistance who are not suitable to be a beneficiary in order to produce provision of targeted social assistance. This study aims to observe closely how to optimize the provision of social assistance to the poor at the Office of Social Affairs, Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in North Aceh Regency, Indonesia, and the obstacles or challenges encountered in its implementation. A qualitative approach was employed in the data collection process. The results of this study indicate that the social problems for the poor occurring in North Aceh Regency are increasingly complex and continue to develop. This condition requires the local Government to give priority to the implementation of social welfare in the field of handling the poor. This is relevant to the population and the complexity of social problems that exist in North Aceh District which tends to increase annually.

Key contemporary mechanisms of distribution are routed through the ‘social assistance’ programmes provided by states. While we still often think of such programmes on the model of the well-known ‘welfare states’ of the global North, new forms of state and international transfers to the poor (in Africa and elsewhere in the global South) suggest a need to rethink the question of social assistance from a less Eurocentric perspective. With a special focus on southern Africa, this chapter reviews the meaning of ‘social assistance’ in a region where the domain of ‘the social’ was never securely established in the first place. It reflects on the possibility that new rationalities and techniques of social assistance may be calling into question the assumed dependence of social service provision on traditional forms of population registration and documentation.

Abstract Entrepreneurial spirit plays an increasingly important role in the economic sphere, and universities are meant to play a central role in this process, where the main objective is the continuous development and mediation of the knowledge increasingly geared to the applications through innovation and patenting a secure platform for employment and well-being growth. The Universities have to take a position in if/and how they want to grow into a so-called “University of Entrepreneurship” which is characterized by a high degree of openness to the surrounding society and here we are talking, especially, about, the business sector in Romania. This evolution of expectations for the social role of universities has resulted from increased and recent interest in entrepreneurship and innovation of areas as research and theory of the business environment. The experience gained as teachers indicates that education and entrepreneurship education should include different theories and methodology than those applied in the usual way. The theory of traditional management and microeconomic models could even be a barrier to new thinking and change and, therefore, to the implementation of modern entrepreneurial actions. We want this article to be a source of inspiration for educational institutions and to have a positive contribution to research in business education and to be applicable in business decision-making.

The Social

To many social theoreticians, the population explosion, particularly in the developing nations presents a crippling threat to their developmental pro¬cesses. Their argument's validity rests mainly on the assumption that expected economic progress is swallowed up by unbalanced rise of numbers in the population. The book being reviewed deals mainly with this subject matter and is divided into two parts, each containing three articles contributed by various researchers. Part one, 'The Social context of Fertility Decision' is focused on analyzing the role of factors affecting fertility at the micro-level decision making process. The first article 'Fertility decision in rural India' by Vinod Jainath, examines the applicability to rural India of various models of the process of fertility decision making and finds most of these wanting with respect to the Indian social situation. While analyzing the fertility patterns of Rural India, he points out the positive need for larger families among the poor small farmers mainly due to labour supply considerations. The author argues that unemployment and under¬employment actually motivate the poor to have more children as it better ensures their economic security in their old age. As the chances of gaining employ¬ment for their offspring diminish, they are induced to increase the total number of children in order that atleast one will be able to support them. Thus a vicious circle of poverty arises in large families because of each of the parents wanting to increase their children's chances of employment by ultimately reducing the overall employment opportunities even further and exacerbating their poverty.

This chapter describes adolescent development within the context of capacity building, reviews the global adolescent capacity-building initiatives, and provides a link between developmental tasks of adolescence and capacity building. It highlights the importance of incorporating assessment of adolescents’ capacity-building needs at individual, community, and organizational levels into global policy and programs and suggests effective approaches to building adolescent development capacity that include adopting the “stage–environment–fit,” in which stage represents the developmental stages (early, middle, late stages) of adolescents and emphasizes developmental tasks of adolescence, while environment represents the social and cultural contexts in which the adolescents live. That adolescents need to be engaged as planners, decision-makers, and participants in programs that build their capacity and translation of global policies into policies of governments is emphasized.
