The Austrian Federal Forests (ÖBf), the Republic of Austria’s state-owned company, manages 15% of the Austrian forests; about 50% of the land is devoted to nature conservation. This paper presents the results of a representative survey of Austrian households ascertaining the acceptance of, preferences regarding, and willingness to pay for three different management scenarios. One program would increase commercial forestry, while two other programs would significantly enhance biodiversity conservation. The majority of respondents considers it an important task of state-owned forests to enhance biodiversity conservation. The study reveals that the preferences of the respondents are very heterogeneous. For instance, in addition to socio-economic characteristics, the willingness to pay for nature conservation depends on personal experiences and perceptions (e.g., whether respondents feel anxious in forests), political views (e.g., the acceptance of strict legal protection of natural resources), and opinions on forest policy issues (e.g., preferences regarding privatization of public land). The study places special emphasis on the thorough description and presentation of the scenarios to the respondents and is one of the first European studies to elicit opinions on forest policies regarding public land in an environmental valuation framework.

Potential Benefits

As the concept of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) has evolved, governments and other stakeholders have pursued three important frameworks for defining and pursuing SFM: public land forest policies, Criteria and Indicators and certification. In Canada, these three approaches frequently operate simultaneously as policy frameworks for private firms managing forests on public lands. Harmonization of these three frameworks could create potential benefits by simplifying a complicated array of sometimes conflicting forest management standards. But there are also potential costs of harmonization that could arise out of the diverse conditions that embody SFM. The diversity of social values and ecological conditions associated with forests creates difficulties in designing processes that are representative of stakeholders' interests. Moreover, this variety poses challenges to designing standards that are sufficiently flexible to address local conditions, yet useful in contributing to SFM planning and reporting at regional, provincial and national scales. Within this context, we suggest that the diversity inherent in SFM will continue to be accommodated by multiple management frameworks, unless a single framework arises that shows itself capable of being trusted by stakeholders and of being sufficiently flexible to accommodate various definitions of Sustainable Forest Management. Key words: Sustainable Forest Management, forest certification, Criteria and Indicators, public forest policy, harmonization of Sustainable Forest Management frameworks, case study, Canada, Alberta

Gaps in biodiversity conservation management within the Conservation Area that are the responsibility of the central government and outside the Conservation Areas or as the Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA) which are the authority of the Regional Government, have caused various spatial conflicts between wildlife /wild plants and land management activities. Several obstacles faced by the Local Government to conduct its authority to manage (EEA), caused the number and area of EEA determined by the Local Government to be still low. At present only 703,000 ha are determined from the 67 million ha indicated by EEA. This study aims to overview biodiversity conservation policies by local governments and company perceptions in implementing conservation policies and formulate strategies for optimizing the role of Local Governments. From the results of this study, there has not been found any legal umbrella for the implementation of Law number 23/ 2014 related to the conservation of important ecosystems in the regions. This regulatory vacuum leaves the local government in a dilemma for continuing various conservation programs. By using a SWOT to the internal strategic environment and external stratetegic environment of the Environment and Forestry Service, Bengkulu Province , as well as using an analysis of company perceptions of the conservation policies regulatary , this study has been formulated a “survival strategy” through collaboration between the Central Government, Local Governments and the Private Sector to optimize the role of Local Government’s to establish EEA in the regions.Keywords: Management gaps, Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA), Conservation Areas, SWOT analysis and perception analysis

Modern forest policy must take the following two conditions into account:1. Forest policy is an intersectoral policy involving elements of regional policy, nature conservation and landscape protection policy, as well as agricultural, clean-air, climate and economic policies.2. It is the joint task of the federal authorities, cantons, municipalities,relevant organisations and forest owners. Over the next few years, Buwal will develop a forestry programme for Switzerland together with all the relevant actors,which will fulfil both current and forthcoming forest policy requirements at both national and international levels.

A number of abuses of power and position, daily committed for acquisition of unlawful profit, beyond of permitted and envisaged legal jobs, starting from the lowest level, to the so-called, daily corruption, which most often is related to existential needs and it acts harmless, not even grow into another form, to one that uses such profits as the main motive for generating huge illegal gains for a longer period of time, by exploiting and abusing high social position, corruption in public sector, but today already in private sector too, are part of corruption in the broadest sense, embracing all its forms, those who do not enter in zone of punishment and those who means committing of serious crime. It has many forms, but due to focusing on a particular problem, as a better way to contribute a solution, this paper will focus on the analysis of corruption in the public administration in the Republic of Macedonia, and finding measures for its prevention and reduction, which we hope will give a modest contribution to its real legal protection, not only in declarative efforts in some new strategy for its prevention and suppression.

 Social policies designed to protect female workers that worked at night and promote equality in the workplace have a controversial effect on labor market outcomes. Restrictions on working hours and pregnancy benefits stipulated in applicable laws help protect the responsibilities of women workers who work at night for their families and ensure their physical security, but this regulation can raise doubts about the safety of women working at night. Protection of female workers has been regulated in the Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Decree of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Article 76. In addition, the regulation is also regulated in the Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia No. Kep 224 / Men / 2003 regulates the obligations of employers who employ female workers or laborers, where the application process is carried out directly by the employer through a work agreement between employers and workers which is then supervised by the authorized agency. Keywords: Legal Protection, Women, Working at Night   Abstrak Kebijakan sosial yang dirancang untuk melindungi pekerja perempuan yang bekerja di malam hari dan mempromosikan kesetaraan di tempat kerja memiliki efek kontroversial pada hasil pasar kerja. Pembatasan jam kerja dan tunjangan kehamilan yang diatur dalam undang-undang yang berlaku membantu melindungi tanggung jawab pekerja perempuan yang bekerja di malam hari terhadap keluarganya dan memastikan keamanan fisik mereka, tetapi peraturan ini dapat menimbulkan keraguan terhadap keamanan perempuan yang bekerja pada malam hari. Perlindungan terhadap tenagakerja perempuan telah diatur dalam undang-undang yakni Undang-Undang Nomor 13 tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan dan Keputusan Menteri Tenaga Kerja Pasal 76. Selain itu, pengaturannya diatur juga dalam Transmigrasi RI No.Kep 224/Men/2003 mengatur kewajiban pengusaha yang memperkerjakan pekerja atau buruh perempuan, dimana proses penerapanya dilakukan langsung oleh pengusaha lewat perjanjian kerja antara pengusaha dengan tenaga kerja yang kemudian diawasi oleh instansi yang berwenang. Kata Kunci : Perlindungan Hukum, Perempuan, Bekerja di Malam Hari
