The Future

A formal village/neighbourhood planning process is typically focused on three planning levels (national, regional and local) and is usually linked with administrative units of the territory (state, region or municipality). The local planning level (village or neighbourhood) “pocket plan” is a development challenge for spatial planners. The small coastal village Tuja in Latvia was taken as a pilot territory for “pocket planning” due to the unique location; biodiversity and ecosystems; significant natural, cultural, economic and social values; specific interests; and the needs of the involved local society. All these factors create a dynamic flow of data and information. Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used as planning support systems. GISs for pocket plans must accommodate the special needs of communities in villages and neighbourhoods. Ensuring the availability of information in dynamic real time is an opportunity to build both community integration in specific environments and to understand the future plans of the territory. Access to a WEB-GIS (internet GIS) provides possibilities for every person with a mobile phone to use and update information. Static and statistical information is generally used for spatial planning. For pocket plans, the data and information flow has to be dynamic and has to interact with non-professional users. The special wishes and needs of every member of a community must be accommodated by a pocket plan for the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the surrounding territory. Small territory planning involves a very narrow circle of individuals or communities that identify spatial development needs for the future, which includes the socio-economic, cultural, historical, environmental and climate change scenarios. In order to assess the development opportunities and needs of such areas, the detection, accumulation and monitoring of reliable data is necessary. Methodically derived data (facts) provide objectivity and transparency. Currently, as information between the present and the past is able to circulate very fast, analysis of the current situation to forecast the future and show different constructed realities (scenarios) using a GIS is necessary. Therefore, to explore and determine a local needs-based and smart spatial planning approach, we must identify indicators that can be used for the short-term and long-term analysis of specific territories in coastal areas.

Abstract Amendments to Law no. 27 of 2007 became Law no. 1 of 2014 concerning the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands has an impact on the coastal and marine spatial planning process in every region, including Bangka Belitung. This planning process requires stakeholder collaboration to carry out broader cross-sectoral coordination. Apart from being composed of more than 80% of the water area, the struggle for access and conflicts over the use of marine space also take place in a vertical and horizontal level. The dilemma of authority between levels of government and law enforcement authorities, as well as between local governments, communities, and state corporations, is a form of hierarchical conflict. Conflicts between governments at the street bureaucracy (Village) level and their citizens, or friction between pro and contra groups against marine mining are examples of horizontal conflicts. The complexity of this problem has demanded the government to be presented in a more powerful and most decisive position in the management of the coastal and marine areas of Bangka Belitung so that it does not drag on. Therefore, the government needs to formulate comprehensive resource optimization options in the coastal and marine zones. This study aims to map how a collaborative approach in coastal and marine spatial planning through Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 3 of 2020 concerning the Zoning Plan for Coastal Areas and Small Islands of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. At least 3 dominant actors are involved and collaborate, namely the government, fishermen, and investors.

Management Issues

Abstract Marine spatial planning (MSP) is advanced by its champions as an impartial and rational process that can address complex management issues. We argue that MSP is not innately rational and that it problematises marine issues in specific ways, often reflecting hegemonic agendas. The illusion of impartial rationality in MSP is derived from governmentalities that appear progressive but serve elite interests. By understanding the creation of governmentalities, we can design more equitable planning processes. We conceptualise governmentalities as consisting of problematisations, rationalities and governance technologies, and assess England’s first marine plans to understand how specific governmentalities de-radicalise MSP. We find that progressive framings of MSP outcomes, such as enhanced well-being, are deployed by the government to garner early support for MSP. These elements, however, become regressively problematised in later planning phases, where they are framed by the government as being difficult to achieve and are pushed into future iterations of the process. Eviscerating progressive elements from the planning process clears the way for the government to focus on implementing a neoliberal form of MSP. Efforts to foster radical MSP must pay attention to the emergence of governmentalities, how they travel through time/space and be cognisant of where difference can be inserted into planning processes. Achieving progressive MSP will require the creation of a political frontier early in the process, which cannot be passed until pathways for progressive socio-environmental outcomes have been established; advocacy for disenfranchised groups; broadening MSP evaluations to account for unintended impacts; and the monitoring of progressive objectives.

Pembangunan wilayah pesisir dan perbatasan memiliki banyak tantangan dan permasalahan, diantaranya adalah ketidakselarasan antara pemerintah pusat dan daerah. Rendahnya nilai akuntabilitas kinerja pembangunan yang termuat dalam Rencana Kerja Pembangunan Daerah (RKPD) adalah salah satunya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat penguatan koordinasi fungsional terhadapRKPD yang berorientasi pada percepatan pencapaian Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret – Juni 2016. Lokasi penelitian di Kabupaten Sambas yang merupakan wilayah pesisir dan perbatasan dengan potensi sumber daya perikanan yang cukup besar. Data primer dan sekunder digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan angket sebagai alat bantu pengumpulan data. Informan dipilih secara purposive sampling sebanyak 42 orang pejabat struktural lingkup Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah (SKPD) di Kabupaten Sambas. Data kualitatifdianalisis secara deskriptif dan data yang bersifat kuantitatif dianalisis dengan pendekatan statistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan manusia di Kabupaten Sambas fluktuatif dalam periode 2010 – 2015, namun secara agregat mengalami peningkatan. Penurunan tingkat kesejahteraan dicerminkan oleh nilai IPM berkorelasi dengan penurunan laju pertumbuhan nilai Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) per kapita. Laju pertumbuhan PDRB sub sektor perikanan terus meningkat yang menandakan bahwa sub sektor perikanan lebih stabil dan dapat diandalkan sebagai sub sektor unggulan. Hasil analisis penguatan koordinasi fungsional RKPD menunjukkan bahwa koordinasi lingkup SKPD di Kabupaten Sambas sudah memiliki kinerja yang baik, yaitu dengan rata-rata nilai skor secara keseluruhan adalah 2,32 (77,21%) dan masuk ke dalam klasifikasi “kuat”. Kinerja yang baik ini dapat menjadi modal utama dalam proses perencanaan pembangunan Kabupaten Sambas sebagai wilayah pesisir dan perbatasan sehingga dapat menjadikan Kabupaten Sambas sebagai salah satu wilayahperbatasan yang berkembang.Title: Strenghtening of Coordination of Functional Work Plan of Local Government (RKPD) Through Development Coastal Areas Based on Human Development Index (A Case Study in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan)Development of coastal areas and the border has many challenges and problems, including the lack of central and local governments policys. The low performance accountability of development policy in RKPD is one of the issues. This study aimed to analyze the level of functional coordination strengthening against RKPD oriented to accelerate the achievement of Human Development Index (HDI). This study was conducted in March-June 2016. The research location in Sambas Regency which is the border with the coastal areas and has its potential fisheries resource. Primary and secondary data were used in this study. This study uses a survey by questionnaire as a tool for data collection. purposive sampling as many as 42 people SKPD scope of structural officials in Sambas regency. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitative and quantitative data was analyzed by a statistical approach. The results showed that the human development index in Sambas regency fluctuated in the period 2010 - 2015, aggregatlye increased. Decreased levels of well-being mirrored by HDI value correlates with decreased growth rate in the value of GDP per capita. GDP growth rate fisheries sub-sector continues to increase indicating that the fisheries sub-sector is more stable and reliable as the leading sector. The results of the analysis of functional coordination enhancement RKPD show that the coordination sphere SKPD in Sambas district already has a good performance, with an average value of the overall score was 2.32 (77.21%) and can be classified as “strong”. This good performance can be a major capital in Sambas district development planning process as coastal and border regions in order to make Sambas district became one of the developing border areas.

Spatial Environment

Our spatial environment is one of the most important determinants of our well-being and life chances. It relates to schools, opportunities, businesses, recreation and access to public services. Spatial injustice results where discrimination determines that spatial environment. Since Apartheid in South Africa epitomised the notion of spatial injustice, tools and instruments are required to transform spatial injustice into spatial justice. One of these is the employment of principles of spatial justice. While the National Development Plan (NDP) recognised that all spatial development should conform to certain normative principles and should explicitly indicate how the requirements of these should be met, the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act 16 of 2013 (SPLUMA) contains a more concrete principle of spatial justice. It echoes aspects of both the South African land reform programme and global principles of spatial justice. Essentially section 7(a) of SPLUMA entails three components: (1) redressing past spatial imbalances and exclusions; (2) including people and areas previously excluded and (3) upgrading informal areas and settlements. SPLUMA directs municipalities to apply the principle in its spatial development frameworks, land use schemes and, most importantly, in decision-making on development applications. The aim of this article is to determine whether the application of this principle in practice can move beyond the confines of spatial planning and land use management to address the housing issue in South Africa. Central to housing is section 26 of the Constitution, that has received the extensive attention of the Constitutional Court. The court has not hesitated to criticize the continuing existence of spatial injustice, thus contributing to the transformation of spatial injustice to spatial justice. Since planning, housing and land reform are all intertwined not only the role of SPLUMA, but also the NDP and the myriad other policies, programmes and legislation that are attempting to address the situation are examined and tested against the components of the principle of spatial justice in SPLUMA.

Temporal Focus

Temporal focus is the individual tendency to characteristically think more or less about the past, present, and future. Although originally rooted in early work from psychology, research on temporal focus has been steadily growing in a number of research areas, particularly since Zimbardo and Boyd’s (1999) influential article on the topic. This chapter will review temporal focus research from the past to the present, including how temporal focus has been conceptualized and measured, and which correlates and outcomes have been tested in terms of well-being and behavior. Based on this review, an agenda for research is created to direct temporal focus research in the future.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the residents’ perception towards environmental, social, cultural and economic impacts of tourism development in Kashmir. Design/methodology/approach The research instrument containing 27 items pertaining to six variables is adopted from the literature. A mix-method survey approach is used to solicit residents’ perceptions regarding environmental, social, cultural and economic impacts of the current level of tourism development. A total of 326 useful responses were subjected to descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc analysis using SPSS (Version 22.0). Findings In general, the negative and positive impacts of tourism development are well perceived by the residents. The results indicate that the residents display positive perception regarding economic impacts, however, social and environmental impacts are negatively perceived. Furthermore, barring level of education, the study found no significant difference in the residents’ perception towards tourism impacts (environmental, social, cultural, economic, quality of life and cost of living). Research limitations/implications The paper identifies perceived impacts and issues of tourism development thereby, proposing possible mitigating measures. Also, the study identifies the need to develop a comprehensive policy framework addressing the issues related to the resident’s negative feelings towards tourism impacts. Further, the study envisages the need for engaging residents in developing a progressive and participatory planning process for future tourism activities in the area. Social implications The study offers critical social implications for city tourism development. It suggests a community-based approach should be adopted to sensitize residents about the positive benefits of tourism. Originality/value The study is a novel attempt concerning residents’ residents perceptual differences towards tourism impacts. Furthermore, this study investigated socio-cultural impacts of tourism under two separate categories for better understanding. in doing so, this study provides finer understanding of perception of residents towards tourism impacts in Indian context. The findings of the study will prove critical for different stakeholders in developing future tourism framework and policies in the region.
