The Study of Infrastructure Facilities and Farmers Awareness about the Functioning of Regulated Markets of APMC Kullu and Lahaul-Spiti

The results revealed that Bhuntar market was found to be the most developed on the basis of infrastructure development index (0.71) whereas Bandrol (0.15) market was least developed due to the reason that market is operational only during the peak season and there were no permanent sheds or shops for marketing of produce. It was found that all the sample farmers were selling their produce through regulated markets and the study showed that 56.67 percent of the farmers were well aware of these regulated markets. The most important motivating factor for preferring the regulated markets by the farmers was market information as 46.67 percent farmer preferred regulated markets because of this factor alone. As far as working of regulated markets was concerned that sample farmers were highly satisfied with physical functions related with producer’s welfare like provision of drinking water and toilets, farmer’s rest sheds, canteen and parking facility.

Abstract Background Peru is one of the countries with the lowest percentage of population with access to safe drinking water in the Latin American region. This study aimed to describe and estimate, according to city size, socioeconomic inequalities in access to safe drinking water in Peruvian households from 2008 to 2018. Methods Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data using data from the 2008–2018 ENAHO survey. Access to safe drinking water, determined based on the presence of chlorinated water supplied by the public network, as well as socioeconomic variables were analyzed. A trend analysis from 2008 to 2018, and comparisons between 2008 versus 2018 were performed to understand and describe changes in access to safe drinking water, according to city size. Concentration curves and Erreygers concentration index (ECI) were estimated to measure inequalities in access to safe drinking water. Results In 2008, 47% of Peruvian households had access to safe drinking water, increasing to 52% by 2018 (p for trend < 0.001). For small cities, access to safe drinking water did not show changes between 2018 and 2008 (difference in proportions − 0.2 percentage points, p = 0.741); however, there was an increase in access to safe drinking water in medium (difference in proportions 3.3 percentage points, p < 0.001) and large cities (difference in proportions 12.8 percentage points, p < 0.001). The poorest households showed a decreasing trend in access to safe drinking water, while the wealthiest households showed an increasing trend. In small cities, socioeconomic inequalities showed an increase between 2008 and 2018 (ECI 0.045 and 0.140, p < 0.001), while in larger cities, socioeconomic inequality reduced in the same period (ECI: 0.087 and 0.018, p = 0.036). Conclusions We report a widening gap in the access to safe drinking water between the wealthiest and the poorest households over the study period. Progress in access to safe drinking water has not been equally distributed throughout the Peruvian population. Promoting and supporting effective implementation of policies and strategies to safe drinking water, including equity-oriented infrastructure development and resource allocation for most vulnerable settings, including emerging small cities, is a priority.

West Tarum Canal (WTC) is a canal that drains raw water from the Jatiluhur Dam. Nearly 81% of the raw water for drinking water used by Jakarta’s people comes from this canal. However, various land uses such as agriculture, industry, settlements, and infrastructure development impact WTC’s water quality. This research aims to assess WTC’s water quality in 2016-2020 based on water quality standards set by the Government and using the STORET method. The results of this research indicate that the concentrations of TDS (142-351 mg/L), Fe (0.1-0.15 mg/L), Mn (0.03-0.1 mg/L) are meet the standards, while DO (3.6-4.9 mg/L), BOD (4-10 mg/L), COD (13-30 mg/L) are not meet the standards. Almost all monitoring points have pH values between 5.75-7.68 that are meet the standards. The STORET score of WTC is from -26 to -38 with an average of -30, which indicates that WTC’s water quality is moderately polluted. Water contamination in WTC will burden the drinking water processing and ultimately affect the community’s ability to pay for drinking water. This research also shows the need for integrated management of WTC from upstream to downstream and the need to increase collaboration between stakeholders in carrying out this management.

This paper discusses the issue of analyzing the development of cross-border tourism infrastructure in the borderlands of countries with diversified administrative divisions and spatial databases, which hinders the use of national statistical units for comparative research. As an example, the ability to use the square grid and kernel density estimation methods for the analysis and spatial visualization of the level of tourism infrastructure development is studied for the Orlickie and Bystrzyckie Mountains, located in the Polish–Czech border area. To synthetically assess and compare the level of diversity, the methodology used in the Human Development Index was adapted using selected component indicators calculated for a square grid clipped to the boundaries of the area under study. This analysis enabled us to quantify the asymmetry in the development of tourism infrastructure in the borderlands via the calculation of the synthetic infrastructure development index. This index is 1.29 times higher in the Czech than in the Polish border area. However, the spatial concentration analysis of infrastructure shows that the diversity in the study area can be assessed as higher than the results using the average density indicators. This paper also discusses the benefits and problems associated with using the square grid method for the representation and analysis of heterogeneous data on tourism infrastructure in two neighboring national states.

Public health is influenced by environmental factors. The success of public health development can be seen from the Human Development Index (HDI). This research aims to analyze the relationship between environmental factors and the HDI in East Java in 2019. This research analyzed secondary data obtained from the East Java Provincial Health Office and published on the website of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Health Profile data in 2018 and the Human Development Index data in 2019 were used. This study used total sampling and selected all districts/cities in East Java (38 districts/cities). The Shapiro Wilk test (a sample of less than 50) was chosen to analyze the normality of the data and a Pearson correlation test was conducted to investigate the relationship between each variable. Based on our Pearson correlation analysis, we found several relationships between each variable. This study found that there is a relationship between access to decent drinking water and the HDI, as well as qualified latrines with the HDI, both with p-values of 0.000. Relationships were also found for healthy homes with the HDI with the p-value of 0.004, as well as qualified public places with the HDI with the p-value of 0.003. Finally, we found that there was no relationship between decent drinking water quality the HDI with a p-value of 0.821.

Abstract: The existence of sustainable development plan in kapuas coastal areas toward Pontianak Metropolitan Cities, requires a decent source of raw water in terms of quality, quantity and continuity according to national standards. This study discusses the hydrological regime for the reliability of raw water source (quality and quantity) of interbasin Ambawang River Landak River (Biyung) were selected as new raw water source for drinking water infrastructure development Regional Pontianak. The results showed that Ambawang River periodically affected by tidal and seawater interution, so the dam was built to break salinity. While the Landak River (Biyung) has a random discharge and is influenced by rainfall. The result of the division of discharge Discrit Markov against salinity values showed that, the highest salinity occurs in dry climates, dry month and daily discharge dry where the amplitude tidal estuary maximum. The minimum daily discharge Landak River recorded in 1997 at 21 m3 / sec analog with R20  daily discharge plan of 23.38 m3/ sec. Pontianak Regional raw water needs of 4.6 m3 / sec in the 2030, while the used discharge for the allocation of drinking water a debit 20 years of dry, dry R20 on the River Ambawang of 12.05 m3/sec, so the 2030 needs raw water Regional Pontianak can be met.Abstrak: Adanya rencana pembangunan berkelanjutan di kawasan pesisir kapuas menuju Kota Metropolitan Pontianak, memerlukan sumber air baku yang layak dari segi kualitas, kuantitas dan kontinuitas sesuai standar nasional. Penelitian ini membahas mengenai rezim hidrologi untuk keandalan sumber air baku (kualitas dan kuantitas) dari Sungai Ambawang interbasin Sungai Landak (Biyung) yang terpilih dijadikan sumber air baku yang barudalam pengembangan infrastruktur air minum Regional Pontianak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sungai Ambawang secara periodik terpengaruh pasang surut yang berpotensi terinterusi air laut, sehingga dibangun bendungan untuk memutus salinitas. Sedangkan Sungai Landak (Biyung) memiliki debit yang acak dan dipengaruhi oleh curah hujan. Hasil pembagian debit Discrit Markov terhadap nilai salinitas menunjukkan bahwa, salinitas tertinggi terjadi pada iklim kering, bulan kering dan debit harian kering dimana amplitudo pasut di muara sungai maksimum. Debit harian minimum Sungai Landak tercatat pada tahun 1997 sebesar 21 m3/detik analog dengan debit rencana R20 1 harian sebesar 23,38 m3/detik.  Kebutuhan air baku Regional Pontianak sampai dengan tahun 2030 sebesar 4,6 m3/det sedangkan debit untuk alokasi air minum menggunakan debit 20 tahun kering, R20 kering pada Sungai Ambawang sebesar 12,05 m3/det, sehingga sampai dengan tahun 2030 kebutuhan air baku Regional Pontianak dapat terpenuhi.

The purpose of the article is to develop some recommendations on the improvement of housing-and-communal services financing on the basis of the mechanism of public-and-private partnership, and namely on the basis of concessionary agreements. The analysis of the housing-andmunicipal industry condition was carried out with the use of the municipal infrastructure development index. According to the analysis results, the that a considerable part of housing-and-communal facilities are in crisis or pre-emergency condition. It is fraught with technogenic accidents, damage to an environment, additional expenses on compensation of the environmental damage. Besides, the ecological costs of outdated and wornout facilities are high even without emergence of accidents. The conclusion was drawn that development, repair and replacement of worn-out objects of housing-and-communal infrastructure are necessary. In turn, additional financing of the sphere is necessary for this purpose. The experience of the concessionary agreements implementation in the Russian regions is considered. The conclusion is drawn that this experience positive in general, but the mechanism also has some shortcomings, some problems of the legislative regulation exist. Further distribution of concessions demands purposeful measures. The corresponding recommendations, developed by the author of the article, can be useful for regional and municipal authorities as well as for specialists of the companies, working in the field of housing-and-public services.

Despite robust recent economic growth rates, Africa remains the least competitive global region. Inadequate infrastructure is a serious constraint on doing business in the continent. This demonstrates the close linkage between infrastructure and the region’s competitiveness. Moreover, the Africa Progress Panel has ranked infrastructure development as a key priority for the advancement of the continent, and has urged the G20 leadership to continue to give it their highest support. It is against this background that the African Development Bank developed the Africa Infrastructure Development Index (AIDI) to monitor the status and progress of infrastructure development across the continent. This effort is to enhance evidence based policy making in Africa – especially with specific reference to infrastructure. The Index provides countries with the framework to assess their position and related changes with respect to the requisite infrastructure investments.

The background of this research based on constitution article 27 paragraph 2 which states that “every citizen is entitled to work and means appropriate for humanity ”. Several steps are taken by a government in implementing this law such as the national program of community empowerment like KOTAKU/PNPM. Generally, there are contemporary issues in development such as Human Development Index (HDI), Poverty , Justice and Social Equality and accordingly there are strategic issues in the Bogor area such as  Human Development Index is still low, marked by unemployment and poverty rate is still high and although Bogor has sufficient natural resources and competitive , but not yet been explored optimally. Thefore, it is important to discuss the participation of the  program KOTAKU / PNPM as a form of community involvement to resolve these issues. KOTAKU Program use synergy platform the collaboration of local government and other stakeholders in the district and community-based infrastructure development to accelerate the handling of urban slum problems.The formulation problem are how public participation of the program KOTAKU/ PNPM, what problem occured and influenced the program, and what efforts are taken to solve the problem. The purpose of research are to understand the extent of effectiveness of the KOTAKU program and the level of participation from general public. According to Cohen and Uphoff, as cited by Siti Irene Astuti (2011: 61-63) distinguish participation can be devided into four types: (1) participation in decision making, (2) participation in the implementation, (3) participation in the utilization, and (4) participation in evaluation. Some factors that affects participation namely benefit of activities, an opportunity, skill, a feeling of ownership and community figures. Meanwhile, the implementation is action performed either by individuals or groups or government officials or private directed at the achievement of the some of the causes that have determined in the policy decision (Van Meter and Van Horn, 1975. In addition, policy implemenentation theory proposed by George C.Edwards III (1980) states that policy implementation is influenced by four variable as follow : (1). Communication, (2). Resources, (3). Disposition/Attitude, and (4). Bureaucratic Structure.Research methodology used is quantitative descriptive, technique of data collection and data analysis use primary and secondary data based on observation technique , the questionnaire and interview , and then  processed into the form of figures to do statistic calculation to draw conclusion. The sampling technique used is proportional random sampling in accordance to Solvin’s formula , and obtained samples of 100 respondents , with reference to productive ages .Based on the research it can be concluded that based on the calculation on those dimensions of public participation in Ciawi district has a value of 3.72 and intepreted as “good” category. With the conditions of Ciawi district which is so vast, potential large enough of religious communities, but still high poverty rate and many things to be improved and could not be separated from public participation in developing their areas. But there are several things must be done to increase, among others as follow :Socialization should be increased , that intention and purposes can be implemented and in accordance with the target.Optimalitazing society organizations in the each area/Village.Budget transparancy is needed to maintain of public trust. Keywords : Participation, Implementation, Program
