Shari'ah (Islamic law) has been the dominant moral and legal code ofMuslim societies for the gnxter part of their history. During the early centuriesof Islam, Shari'ah hcilitated the social growth and develojment of the Muslims,growth that culminaa in the establishment of a vast emph and an outstandmgcivilization. By the close of the fifth century of Islam, however, Shari'ahbegan to lose its role as the guiding force that inspired Muslim creativityand ingenuity and that nurtured the growing spirit of the Muslim community(Ummah). Consequently, the Ummah entered a period of stagnation thatgradually gave way to intellectual decline and social decadence. Regrettably,this painful trend continues to be more or less 'part of the individualconsciousness and collective experience of Muslims.This paper attempts to trace the development of the principles of Islamicjurisprudence, and to assess the impact of Shari'ah on society. It argues thatthe law ceased to grow by the sixth century of Islam as a result of thedevelopment of classical legal theory; more specifically, law was put on hold,as it were, after the doctrine of the infallibility of ijma' (juristic consensus)was articulated. The rigid principles of classical theory, it is contended, havebeen primarily induced by the hulty epistemology employed.by sixth-centuryjurists.Shari'ah, or Islamic law, is a comprehensive system encompassing thewhole field of human experience. It is not simply a legal system, but rathera composite system of law and morality. That is, Islamic law aspires to regulateall aspects of human activities, not only those that may entail legalconsequences. Hence, all actions and relationships are evaluated in accordancewith a scale of five moral standards.According to Shari'ah, an act may be classified as obligatory (wajib),recommended (mandub), permissible (mubah), reprehensible (makruh), orprohibited (haram). These five categories reflect the varying levels of moral ...

This article offers a first approximation of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Chilean macro and microeconomic environment, using representative data from the latest formal surveys in the country. Here, the number of active firms plummeted in part due to the social crisis that began on October 18, 2019, and losses were felt in most industries due to the pandemic crisis that continues to generate job losses and low business profitability. These first results have implications for central bank policies and can predict medium and medium-term projections, especially for the country's economic and social growth.

The involvement of Islamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFI) in building the national economy is paramount to help the poor. However, provision of access and services to lower-level households can potentially conflict with the sustainability of the institutions. This study analyses the social outreach factors that determine financial and social efficiencies. To reach the set goal and solve this issue, we used mixed methodology combining quantitative (statistical instruments, such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and multivariate analysis) and qualitative approaches (interviews to clarify or deepen the existing information). The assessment of the dependent variables is influenced by proxies of depth, breadth, length, scope, and cost. The results showed that the average loan instalments and the number of offices and branches significantly influence financial and social efficiency. The age of the institution only has an effect on financial efficiency. Simultaneously, profit orientation, the amount and type of financing and the amount and type of savings only have a high impact on social efficiency, whereas the impact of fund collection and cost per borrower is insignificant. There is a strong positive correlation between the two dependent variables. The influence of independent variables on financial and social efficiency is significant with the coefficient of determination 23.1274 % and 53.2941 %, respectively.

This research investigates the tourism of Vigan City, the impact of tourism, and the relationship between tourism and its impact on Vigan City. This utilized the descriptive-correlational research design with a validated questionnaire checklist used to gather the data from the selected tourism stakeholders. Findings suggest that there is a significant relationship between the tourism impact in Vigan City and the level of the tourism industry in Vigan City. Thus, developments for the tourism industry, particularly in the transportation system, tourism marketing, attraction, and destination, could increase the tourism demand and is a good development contributor, particularly on economics, social, physical, and political aspects of tourism. From the findings, it is highly recommended that there should be further development initiatives and further research activities to identify other strategies for tourism development other than the variables used in the study to maximize the benefits of the tourism industry. Continuous development is also needed along with tourism transportation, marketing, attractions, and destination, and lastly, sustainability should also be considered. This research is necessary because it fills the gap in the literature of Hasan Siddique (2016), particularly on maximizing the benefits of tourism in sustaining the quality of the social, economic, and environmental assets.

AbstractThis study focused on the impact of attitude toward tourism on pro-tourism behaviour. The social exchange theory and theory of reasoned action were used to support this model. This study constructed a model for testing the relationship among welcome tourists behaviour, perceived local economy, personal benefit, attitude toward tourism, and pro-tourism behaviour. Empirical testing was used for observing the effect of the model. The sample comprised 408 people from Hua-hin Prachubkirikhan, who were selected by convenience sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire that was divided into the following 4 parts: general data, perceived tourism impact (welcome tourists behaviour, perceived local economy, and personal benefit), attitude toward tourism, and pro-tourism behaviour. Statistical analysis methods included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and structural equation modelling. All the hypotheses were supported, indicating a significant positive effect of attitude toward tourism on pro-tourism behavior.

Mass media have never in their history had such a strong impact as they have right now, mainly due to the emergence of new technologies, which have become an important part of the marketing strategies of the wine industry around the world. This paper explores the impact of the information and communication society in social media in the light of the local governments of various countries input in the field of the wine industry. We find that social media allow users to use them free of charge, while paid advertising is an additional cost. The results can also be measurable, which allows the companies full control over the effectiveness of their marketing strategies, but the successful wine companies must use and exploit the social media as important marketing channels.

La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone is a suitable case study to analyze the impact and sustainability of geotourism on a protected volcanic field, as it has allowed the transformation of a poorly known territory into one of the best known and most visited geosites of Catalonia (Spain). The protection of this volcanic area represented the end of legal and illegal quarrying activities that significantly damaged most of its volcanoes, but also provided an opportunity to develop the zone for tourism. We compiled the available information from its establishment in 1982 as a natural park by the Catalan Government to the present day, in order to analyze the socio-economic impact of geotourism on this protected area and its surroundings. We paid attention to its evolution in terms of the number of visitors, the social and economic consequences that this type of tourism has had, and whether it is compatible with the conservation of natural assets, especially geological ones. We also studied the role that the co-management of the protected space by local administrations and private entities has had on its sustainability. The results obtained are relevant to visualizing the viability of geotourism in a protected area by combining the economic drive and the conservation of natural assets. Spaces such as La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone represent natural laboratories where we can observe the success of the application of environmentally friendly policies with a positive socioeconomic impact on geotourism.

COVID-19 пандемиясы ауылшаруашылық және орман шаруашылығы нарықтары үшін қысқа мерзімді соққы болды, бірақ ұзақ мерзімді әсерлері әлі анық емес. Ұзақ мерзімді тенденциялар туралы сенімді ақпараттың болмауына байланысты, қазіргі кезде белгісіздік жағдайында болашақ азық-түлік қауіпсіздігі мен саланың кірістеріне қатты әсер ететін аграрлық саясат шеңберінде шешімдер қабылдануда. Қазақстан үкіметі ауылшаруашылығында және агро азық-түлік нарығында бірқатар шаралар қабылдады. Алайда, ауылшаруашылық экономикасы үшін пандемияға байланысты тәуекелдер сақталуда және оларды азайту үшін қысқа мерзімді, орта мерзімді және ұзақ мерзімді шаралар қажет. Біз 1991 жылдан бергі кезеңде ауыл шаруашылығының жалпы өнімінің (көрсетілетін қызметтерінің) нақты көлем индексінің серпінін талдау аясында COVID-19 пандемиясының Қазақстанның ауыл шаруашылығы саласына әсерін болжауға әрекет жасадық. Қазақстан экономикасының маңызды секторларының бірі бола отырып, ауыл шаруашылығы қазақстандықтарды қажетті азық-түлікпен және өмір сүру қаражатымен қамтамасыз етеді. Сондықтан біздің зерттеуіміз COVID-19 қарсылығын жалғастырудың алғышарты болып табылады және директивалық органдарға тиімді ауылшаруашылық саясатын жасауға көмектеседі. Зерттеу максималды ықтималдылық әдісін қолданды. Біздің есептеулеріміз бойынша Қазақстанда алдағы 3 жылда ауыл шаруашылығы өнімдерін өндіру индексінің өсу үрдісі 105,7 -106,2% деңгейінде сақталуы тиіс. Экспорттың аздап қысқаруы және агроөнеркәсіптік сектор өнімдері импортының өсуі болжанып отыр. Кілт сөздер:пандемия, азық-түлік қауіпсіздігі, аграрлық экономика, болжау, ауылшаруашылық, тауар өндірушілер, мемлекеттік қолдау,ұзақ мерзімді тенденциялар,аграрлық сектор,ауылшаруашылық саясаты. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a serious short-term (immediate) shock to markets of agricultural and forestry industries, but the long-term implications are not yet clear. Due to the lack of reliable information on long-term trends, decisions in agricultural policy are now being formulated that will have a strong impact on the future food safety and profitability of the industry in the face of uncertainty. The government of Kazakhstan has taken a number of measures in the field of agriculture and the agri-food market. However, the risks to the agricultural economy in relation with the pandemic remain, and to reduce these risks, short-term, medium-term and long-term measures are necessary. We have made an attempt to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, in the light of the analysis of the dynamics of the index of the physical volume of gross agricultural output (services) for the period since 1991. Being one of the most important sectors of the economy of Kazakhstan,agriculture provides Kazakhstanis with the necessary products and means of subsistence. Therefore, our study is a prerequisite for continuing resistance to COVID-19 and can help policy makers develop effective agricultural policies. The study used the maximum likelihood method. According to our calculations, the growth trend of the agricultural production index in Kazakhstan should continue in the next 3 years at the level of 105.7 -106.2%. A slight decline in exports and an increase in imports of agricultural products are projected.
