Development Agencies

The English Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) were established in April 1999 as part of the wider package of devolution measures. One of the first tasks undertaken by the RDAs was the preparation of Region al Economic Strategies (RESs). These strategies were intended to be a means of securing agreement on a single regional vision and programme of development. However, the RDAs are n ot the only actors present in the English regions and the RESs are not the only region al-level planning exercises. This paper reviews the guidance given to RDAs regarding the preparation and content of RESs. It also provides an initial assessment of the strategy documents an d the extent to which they are coordinated with other regional plans and programmes. The eight RESs differ in terms of their structure, content and emphasis. In general terms, and accepting the constraints under which they were prepared, it is clear that they represent positive attempts to develop strategies for the regions. Key issues for the future include the need for RDAs to agree detailed subject-specific action plans, to establish stronger links with other regional actors and to en sure that they add value to regional development.

Regional Development Banks

The need for regional development banks (RDB) is a straightforward question that does not have a straightforward answer. The authors assess the arguments claiming that RDB are called to play a substantive role—in fact an increasingly substantive role—in future development. They summarize these arguments in the following hypothesis: if RDB did not exist, we should re-invent them. This hypothesis is assessed against a critical developmental challenge affecting today’s world and most likely to remain in the future: the massive mobilization of resources required for financing of huge gaps in sustainable infrastructure investments that exist in the developing world. This exercise is followed by a discussion on what conditions need be in place for RDB to be truly playing a pivotal role in confronting such challenge—and perhaps others—in the future.

Abstract Since the beginning, the great idea of transmigration program has actually been directed towards exploiting, processing and development of the two major potential resource, namely: (1) the potential of natural resources and (2) the potential of human resources. Since its implementation, the transmigration program has shown success in improving the living standards and welfare of the population and the development of previously untapped areas, although in some locations and regions it also shows the lack of success caused by various problems. At least there are three major domains of transmigration areas and community development in the future, namely: (1). Develop undeveloped regions into new productive and growing areas in accordance with its natural resource potential including New Transmigration Settlements (PTB) and New Integrated Self-establishment City (KTM). (2). Developing the existing transmigration area becoming the new growth centers of the region through the development of Integrated Self-establishment City (KTM). (3). Improving the welfare of smallholders and poor farm workers through the provision and control of production assets (land). Community and transmigration areas development in the future should be based on 5 basic principles, those are : (1). Development of land and human resources. (2). Development of sustainable agriculture system. (3). Development of business activities based on agribusiness range. (4). Development of private participation, cooperatives, State Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and individual farmers / transmigrants. (5). Integrated area development. Investment in physical development and institutional innovation in development of transmigration areas should be done gradually by following the stadia of regional development which generally consists of: Stadia I, II, III, IV, V, VI. There are two conditions that can be realized through development of transmigration areas in the future, namely: (1). First, to realize a more equally and equitable development. (2). Second, to realize a competitive nation. At least six policy direction in the construction and development of society and transmigration areas in the future. First, pay particular attention to the elements of the development of the competitiveness of the region. Second, strengthening the new orientation to provide support to: (a) Increased public income, (b) food security and board needs, (c) Creation of employment opportunities. Third, the mainstreaming of Integrated Self-Establishing City (KTM) from the planning process to the development of the area. Fourth, focusing and prioritizing the development of communities and transmigration areas. Fifth, enhancing cross-sectoral and local government participation in the planning and implementation of development of communities and transmigration areas. Sixth, increasing community independence in transmigration area. Keywords: Basic principles, Integrated self-establishing city, policy direction, stadia of regional development.

O ideal de equalização das condições de vida da população é um dos mais importantes objetivos do planejamento regional na Alemanha. Políticos tendem a descrever diferenças estruturais significativas através dos termos “Centro” e “Periferia”, muito utilizados, principalmente, para caracterizar as disparidades existentes entre a Alemanha Oriental e Ocidental. Em estados de “sucesso” como a Baviera, compreendidos como “Centro”, as disparidades regionais parecem superadas No entanto, uma análise mais acurada da estrutura espacial existente na Baviera revela também a existência de disparidades regionais econômicas e demográficas consideráveis neste estado da Federação Alemã. Essas disparidades serão ainda mais acentuadas no futuro. Os resultados das políticas de desenvolvimento regional tendem a ser limitados na Baviera, apesar de seu grande potencial econômico no contexto alemão e europeu. Abstract CENTRE AND PERIPHERY IN BAVARIA? POLARIZATION TENDENCY IN A GROWING GERMANY REGION The equality of living conditions is one of the most important aims of regional planning in Germany. Politicians tend to describe significant structural differences between the so-called “centres” and the “peripheries” in rather broad terms, especially when referring to Eastern and Western Germany. However, in individual successful federal states which are themselves perceived as centres, such as Bavaria, regional disparities seem largely overcome. Yet, a closer analysis of the structures prevalent in Bavaria reveals the existence of considerable divergences in economy and the distribution of population in this federal state, too. These disparities will become sharper in the future. Despite Bavaria’s general economic power, only a limited equality can be achieved through instruments of regional development.

The District of Maluku Tenggara Barat is situated between: 07º 06’ 13” - 08º 02’ 08” South Latitudes and 131º 03’ 39” - 131º 45’ 09” East Longitudes. The Broad of Territory in the District of Maluku Tenggara ± 325,725 Ha. Maluku Tenggara Barat District was above three tectonic plates, resulting in the formation of the complex geological conditions, therefore the region include earthquake and tsunami prone area. About 30 percent of the tsunami in Indonesia occurred in the Maluku Sea and Banda Sea. Based on record have occurred BMKG station, 31 tsunami events occurred which caused a big earthquake. Looking at a fairly high frequency, it is important to assess potential earthquake and tsunami disaster in the future. The results of the study the potential for disaster if it is associated with population density, infrastructure and land use will be obtained a vulnerability. Vulnerability is needed in preparing the Regional Development.

In the last nineteen years we have witnessed an explosion of research on social capital in almost all the social sciences. The question addressed by this paper is the following one: what has been achieved during these years? The first part of the discussion is devoted to a review of the most influential definitions of social capital. The second point concerns the theoretical arguments on social capital's impact on regional development: how social capital affects production, incomes and other output that we normally consider to be development. Starting from these considerations, the main theoretical problems in literature will be pointed out. Finally, the last part of this work refers to the future for studies on social capital and local and regional development.
