Actually,  Sawang is the largest sub-district in North Aceh, ±38,465 ha or 11.67% of the total area of North Aceh. Consists of thirty nine villages. 3,449 ha are paddy fields and 35,016 ha are non-paddy fields. The use of non-rice field land is usually used by the surrounding community for gardens, forests, and ponds of 27,997 ha. In order to support government programs in improving people's welfare and creating job opportunities, it can be done by developing the potential of agriculture and plantations. Therefore, integrated and complete information is needed regarding the characteristics of land in North Aceh, especially Sawang Sub - District, which is suitable for planting certain types of plants in support of optimal and sustainable land use policies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the nature of the land that is suitable for use as an agricultural area or plantation of superior commodities. The specific purpose of the research is to provide recommendations to local governments to determine policies for the use of vacant land with appropriate plant types. The research steps include preliminary studies, identification of superior commodities, mapping of vacant land, testing of land suitability parameters, determination of land suitability, policy recommendations. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, the researchers conclude that cocoa is considered the most appropriate plant among several other options, referring to the results of several parameters and observations that have been made, either through spatial studies based on mapping techniques, using special software, or the study of chemical elements, as a support for plant growth, through the results of laboratory tests that have been carried out by the research team.

<p class="Abstract">Sustainability and heritage are inextricably linked. Heritage conservation helps to build and maintain cultural identity and social cohesion of the city community, especially amongst indigenous residents. Heritage zones in European cities and towns over time have suffered destruction and undesirable urban transitions that alter or remove heritage urban fabric. While architecture and urban heritage aims are generally to promote infill development that retains the integrity of the original structure, communities tend to argue for social values that emphasise the retention of vacant land even if it was originally part of the heritage-built form. Hence, the aim of this paper is to identify city residents’ aspirations in relation to such vacant land and spaces. The paper will investigate the case of Raciborz, a medium-sized city in Southern Poland. It will seek to answer the following questions: 1) Are heritage urban composition and principles of its protection antagonistic to the residents’ aspirations? 2) What are the criteria for classifying and valorising vacant land within a heritage city centre? 3) What is the most appropriate way for city administrations to engage with communities to reconcile competing interest sets? What might be possible educational actions addressed to the communities? In the paper the procedure of identifying and evaluating empty sites in the heritage city centre will be presented as well as the results of survey presenting residents’ ideas of optimal way of use of empty city spaces.</p>

Kemiren village is well known today as one of the tourist destinations that has a distinctive appeal to the culture of the Osing tribe, which is one of the tribes found on Java. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of community-based rural tourism (CBRT) activities with an approach to the economic, socio-cultural and natural environment dimensions associated with the quality of life of residents in Kemiren village. The results of the research conducted show that tourism activities in the area have been able to become a source of income for most households in order to improve the standard of living of the Kemiren villagers. However, the development of tourism activities that occurs has an impact on changes in the livelihoods of local residents because of the high profits obtained from tourism activities. Increased job opportunities have also led to a high flow of people working there. Protection of the environment is seen as not a priority in relation to tourism activities in development carried out by local governments. However, Kemiren village’s resident still have high concern and are actively involved in preserving the environment. Local people believe in development of tourism activities will impact their welfare.

<p><em>This research aims to examine the effect of political factors covering regent/mayor profile, political ideology and political competition level, and financial factors covering liquidity and regional independence on information transparency of local government in Indonesia. This study analyzes 309 Indonesian local government websites using multiple linear regression. The result shows that regent/mayor profile, political competition level and regional independence affect information transparency of local government. Meanwhile, political ideology and financial liquidity do not have significant effect. This result implies to local governments to improve their financial independence in order to encourage more complete information delivery. In addition, people should be more precise and careful on local government information, especially in a local government led by incumbent head and in low local political competition. Incumbent regional heads tend to deliver more information to defend their power while low local political competition leads to a tendency of lower information delivery.</em></p>

This study examined the leading causes and consequences of international migration in Nigeria. A survey research design was utilized for the study. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire. The opinions of 100 respondents selected through the purposive sampling technique were obtained on the principal causes and consequences of international migration in Nigeria. The findings revealed that the principal causes of international migration in Nigeria were job opportunities, unemployment, wealth prospects, safety and security, better conditions of service, low salaries and higher standards of living. These foremost causes of international migration in Nigeria were mostly economic factors. Furthermore, the findings showed that the foremost positive and negative effects of international migration in Nigeria were integrated development, increase in remittances, cheap and surplus labour, urban services and social infrastructure under stress, stricter immigration norms, multi-ethnic society and increased tolerance, Xenophobia, close gaps in skills and cultural dilution. These effects were economic, social and political. Among others, the study, thus, recommends that: the strategies of the government for stemming international migration should address push factors of unemployment, safety and security and low salaries and pull factors such as job opportunities, wealth prospects, better conditions of service and higher standards of living since they are the root causes of international migration. Furthermore, migration, a long-standing poverty reduction and strategy for human development need to be mainstreamed into policies of development in Nigeria at the Federal, State and Local Governments.

Conversion of agricultural land to non-agriculture is an unavoidable phenomenon, therefore efforts are needed to regulate land use. The purpose of this study is to analyze the rate of conversion of paddy fields by identifying patterns and spatial changes in land and the factors that influence it, as well as analyzing the suitability and availability of lowland rice fields and the suitability of existing lowland rice fields with spatial pattern plans. The study used primary data in the form of semi-detailed soil maps, and secondary data in the form of supporting data and reports. The analytical tools used are Geographic Information Systems, and binary logistic regression. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the overall pattern of land use change is 26 patterns of change with a total change area of 127,154 ha (25.81 %), where the area of rice fields is reduced by 1,241 ha in the period 2010-2018. The locational rent factor that has the greatest chance of causing rice field conversion is the distance to the center of the kelurahan/village with a negative coefficient (-3.25461631). The most dominant actual land suitability for existing lowland rice is S1 (74.58%) then S3rf (13.86%) and S3r (10.83%), S3e (0.55%). Evaluation of the alignment of the actual land suitability of the existing rice fields with the spatial pattern plan obtained in the aligned category (67.65%) and potentially aligned (28.16%) with the proposed recommendation that existing rice fields can be one of the considerations for sustainable food land allocation by carrying out strict control on the conversion of paddy fields as well as increasing management efforts to obtain more optimal rice production results and as a material for consideration in reviewing the spatial planing in the RTRW.
