Chure landscape is important and valuable because of its topography, geology, geo-morphology and climate. It provides several ecosystem services to the areas downstream, and also, has direct influence on the quality of the environment. The Government of Nepal (GoN) declared Chure landscape as Chure Environmental Protection Area in 2014, and also, formed President Chure-Tarai Madhesh Conservation Development Board (PCTMCDB) to look it separately. In the last four years, the government has entrusted to invest NRs. 6.15 billion in achieving the targeted objectives. This paper looks at whether the investment is worthwhile by assessing the effectiveness of the policies and programs in Chure landscape to achieve its target or goal. The information was gathered through consultative meetings, key informant interviews, focus group discussions and household surveys in the concentrated and distributive sites of river basin systems. The findings show that the formation of a separate body i.e., board and the designed programs, such as river training, soil and water conservation and livelihood support programs are highly relevant. However, the board has not been effective in holding the authority to implement the programs. The programs are being implemented in an ad hoc basis. Similarly, a blanket approach is not appropriate to implement the conservation and development programs due to different physiographic and variation in socio-economic conditions and resource use practices. There is a need of establishing an office with full legal authority along with integrated policy, and also, creation of an independent Chure conservation fund for its sustainability.

  Covering about 13 per cent of the total land area of Nepal, Chure is an environmentally vulnerable, fragile and sensitive zone. Recognizing this, the Government of Nepal has declared it as “Chure Environmental Protection Area” and has formulated a high level board called “President Chure- Terai-Madhesh Conservation Board” to oversee the conservation activities in the region. Based on a review of literature and a decade long engagement of the author in the conservation in Chure, in this paper, I explore the status and issues related to the management of and land tenure in the Chure region. I find that land tenure is one of the most contested and challenging issues of conservation in Chure. With the presence of significant human settlements near to Chure Environmental Protection Area, the boundary is contested, particularly after the unilateral designation by the government; issues also remain around the rights to utilize forest resources. In fact, these factors have resulted in over exploitation of the resources, mainly by the upstream communities. I conclude the paper arguing for a broader, holistic approach that integrates upstream and downstream ecosystems in such a way that strengthens the historical socio-ecological links between the Chure region and the Terai so as to bring positive impacts for both.

Although numerous countries have developed policies and programs to encourage entrepreneurial behavior in rural areas, there have been few attempts to compare the performance of entrepreneurial development programs in rural versus non rural settings. The existing literature led us to expect that such programs will be more efficient and effective in urban areas. However, in this study, virtually no significant relationships were found between urban and rural states—defined by the proportion of the population living in non-metropolitan counties—on the variables used to measure the performance of an entrepreneurship development program. This suggests that the need for special programs tailored to rural entrepreneurs deserves further, more critical, evaluation.

High school civics classes and Schoolhouse Rock! create an image of democracy and lawmaking as resting on a foundation of voter participation in the law-making process, either through the election of representatives or the casting of votes on a ballot issue. However, over time Congress has delegated to administrative agencies substantial authority to make law. As the government and society have become more complex, Congress has had to delegate much of its legislative authority to administrative agencies just to keep up with the growing need for federal regulation. Indeed, administrative agencies create many times more laws than Congress each year. These agencies are part of the Executive Branch of government. Each agency is usually created to address a single area, i.e., the Environmental Protection Area and the Federal Election Commission. Their Congressional mandate usually allows an agency to operate largely independently and allows an agency to develop specialized knowledge and technical expertise with respect to the assigned subject matter; expertise that Congress would be unable to develop in light of the very broad areas in which Federal legislation operates. To protect against agency overreaching and ensure that the lawmaking function remain democratic, administrative rulemaking procedures must be open, transparent, and accessible.

<p>A Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) de Massambaba foi criada com objetivo de conservar fragmentos do ecossistema de restinga, da Região dos Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. No entanto, em sua porção no município de Arraial do Cabo, têm se observado ocupações em zonas onde essas atividades são vedadas. O caráter irregular e as sanções sofridas pelos atores locais vêm causando diversos conflitos, principalmente, por ter sido concedida uma licença prévia para um projeto de Eco Resort na mesma localidade. Indaga-se como duas atividades semelhantes de uso dos recursos  são tratadas de forma diferenciada pelo poder público. Neste trabalho buscou-se investigar os conflitos de uso e cobertura da terra da APA de Massambaba, em Arraial do Cabo, e especificamente procurou-se alterações nos regulamentos legais relacionados à unidade, para favorecer atores e interesses específicos. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram a revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e elaboração de mapeamentos. Conclui-se que houve alterações no Plano de Manejo da APA e seu Zoneamento Ambiental, e essas alterações fragilizaram a gestão da unidade, privilegiaram atores específicos e seus interesses particulares.</p><p><strong>Palavras–chave:</strong> Área de Proteção Ambiental; Massambaba; restinga; conflito; uso e cobertura da terra.</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>The Environmental Protection Area (EPA) Massambaba was created in order to conserve ecosystem fragments of restinga, of the Lakes Region, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, in its portion in the city of Arraial do Cabo, have been observed occupations in areas where such activities are prohibited. The irregular character and sanctions suffered by local stakeholders have caused many conflicts, especially for having been granted a preliminary license for an Eco Resort project in the same location. It asks as two similar direct use activities of natural resources are treated differently by the government.

Indonesia as a developing country continues to make improvements in the program and policy of quality of life and human resources development. The new vision of Indonesia’s president is 'SDM unggul Indonesia maju’ and this vision also applied by government today shows that the government is serious about improving human resources quality. The sustainable development program is the benchmark for how seriousness of this country performs evaluation and improvement for a fair and prosperous welfare of society. The pattern of community-based development has been integrated and structured into a challenge in the policy model of sustainable program. This paper focuses on the development issue of rural communities with critical to the thought of functional structural theories. The approach used is qualitative study of the library by using scientific research of both articles, journals, as well as related agency data. This paper explains that the social structure that occurs in rural communities, gives an unsubstantial impact on the development of the poor. Then, the development that is still on the functional structural is the benchmark in overcoming the reality of poverty in the rural community today. Nevertheless, the development of functional structural perspectives is still difficult to be contributed to the significance of Community welfare development. It is concluded that community development programs are still loaded with importance and vulnerable to being politicized by the elite.

The success of the agricultural development program cannot be separated from the active participation of farmers which is manifested in the form of a response. The responses are delivered in the form of ideas, criticisms, dialogues and reflection actions. The Women Farmers Group (KWT) which is the main actor in the optimization program for the use of yard land is a determinant of the success of food security at the family level. The assistant extension workers are the hope of the government as a development facilitator who is able to facilitate and educate KWTs so that they are able to respond to the development programs being carried out. This article aims to describe the characteristics of the group, the role of the facilitator, KWT participatory communication and to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of the group and the role of the facilitator with participatory communication. This research is designed as a descriptive correlational survey research. The selection of respondents was taken by census as many as 12 KWT. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results obtained from the correlation test are that there is a very significant positive relationship between group characteristics, the role of the facilitator and KWT participatory communication. Keywords: participatory communication, women farmer groups, yard use
