This chapter reflects on the challenge of accommodating competing approaches to public service delivery. Discourse around the social determinants of health is skewed towards the parts of the population whose adverse social circumstances harm their health the most. Local authorities are much closer to the complexities of service delivery than central government departments, and thus have an instrumental role to play in efforts to support these groups. They do not play this role alone — it is shared with other local delivery agencies, such as Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships in the National Health Service (NHS), as well as private providers and local community groups. There has always been much debate around what role each of these actors should play, and how they might interact with one another so as to create masterful theatre rather than a depressing farce. This question continues to be the focus of much policymaking, experimentation, and debate. The chapter then considers the West London Zone for Children and Young People, a cross-sector delivery partnership. It also explores some of the intersecting themes across other efforts, drawing on research from the Government Outcomes Lab.


The purpose of this study was to analyze the determination of neighborhood-based development policies in the city of Manado by using a phenomenological qualitative agreement. Data collection techniques are: observation in several Neighborhood, semi-structured in-depth interviews and documents obtained from the Community Empowerment Agency and the Village Government. Data analysts performed through technical analysis of Miles and Huberman. The results of the study show that the determinant of the implementation of the Neighborhood-Based Development policy in Manado City are: 1). Disposition or commitment of the Manado City government that sets policy as a top priority and tends to be weak, 2). The standards and objectives of the policy are too ideal (utopian), very difficult for the implementers to realize, 3). Erroneously setting the allocation of resources on capital expenditure, should be included in goods and services expenditure and implementation of the policy awaiting changes in the regional income and expenditure budget changes in November, 4). Changes in the Central Government's policy, namely Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 32/2011, which has not been anticipated, 5). Communication and socialization have not been carried out systematically, directed 6). The social conditions of the community have not been prepared to support policy implementation. For that reason: 1). The Manado City Government should have a genuine disposition or commitment in implementing a Neighborhood Based Development policy that has been set as a top priority and superior, 2). Policy standards and targets should be measurable and can be implemented, 3). Research in determining the allocation of resources for implementation, 4). Anticipating changes in Central Government policies, 5). Communication and socialization are carried out systematically, directed by broadcasting through print and mass media, 6). The social conditions of the community are carefully prepared, through community meetings, confessions, making brochures, stickers, and policy songs on neighborhood-based development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the 2016 elections for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and to compare them with those that took place in 2012. It seeks to evaluate the background of the candidates who stood for office in 2016, the policies that they put forward, the results of the contests and the implications of the 2016 experience for future PCC elections. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based around several key themes – the profile of candidates who stood for election, preparations conducted prior to the contests taking place, the election campaign and issues raised during the contests, the results and the profile of elected candidates. The paper is based upon documentary research, making particular use of primary source material. Findings The research establishes that affiliation to a political party became the main route for successful candidates in 2016 and that local issues related to low-level criminality will dominate the future policing agenda. It establishes that although turnout was higher than in 2012, it remains low and that further consideration needs to be devoted to initiatives to address this for future PCC election contests. Research limitations/implications The research focusses on the 2016 elections and identifies a number of key issues that emerged during the campaign affecting the conduct of the contests which have a bearing on future PCC elections. It treats these elections as a bespoke topic and does not seek to place them within the broader context of the development of the office of PCC. Practical implications The research suggests that in order to boost voter participation in future PCC election contests, PCCs need to consider further means to advertise the importance of the role they perform and that the government should play a larger financial role in funding publicity for these elections and consider changing the method of election. Social implications The rationale for introducing PCCs was to empower the public in each police force area. However, issues that include the enhanced importance of political affiliation as a criteria for election in 2016 and the social unrepresentative nature of those who stood for election and those who secured election to this office in these contests coupled with shortcomings related to public awareness of both the role of PCCs and the timing of election contests threaten to undermine this objective. Originality/value The extensive use of primary source material ensures that the subject matter is original and its interpretation is informed by an academic perspective.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reflect on what can be learned about disaster risk reduction (DRR) from the L’Aquila trial of scientists. The court case was initiated because of a controversial meeting on 31 March 2009 of the Major Risks Committee (MRC), held under the auspices of the Italian Department of Civil Protection. The purpose of the meeting was to consider (prior to the fatal earthquake of 6 April 2009) disaster risk in the L’Aquila area, which was being affected by an earthquake swarm since October 2008. Design/methodology/approach The authors undertook a document analysis of trial materials, and a review of academic and media commentary about the trial. Findings The legal process revealed that disaster governance was inadequate and not informed by the DRR paradigm or international guidelines. Risk assessment was carried out only in a techno-scientific manner, with little acknowledgement of the social issues influencing risks at the local community level. There was no inclusion of local knowledge or engagement of local people in transformative DRR strategies. Originality/value Most previous commentary is inadequate in terms of not considering the institutional, scientific and social responsibilities for DRR as exposed by the trial. This paper is unique in that it considers the contents of the MRC meeting as well as all trial documents. It provides a comprehensive reflection on the implications of this case for DRR and the resilience of peoples and places at risk. It highlights that a switch from civil protection to community empowerment is needed to achieve sustainable outcomes at the local level.

Disasters are inevitable.  The island resorts in Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines are vulnerable to natural risks such as typhoons and earthquake. In increasing disaster resilience, a model should be based on risk assessment results and be integrated with the strategic planning of the government and communities. It should consider risks and risk treatments across the social, built, economic and natural environments (Councils for Australian Governments, 2009). The study aimed to propose a disaster resiliency model for Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines. The output of this study is a guide for the local community in case of natural disasters.  The descriptive survey method was utilized using a two survey questionnaires. The data regarding disaster preparedness in hotel resorts are gathered from the 80 respondents consists of the staff and managers of resorts in Malapascua Island, emergency rescue personnel, as well as the village officials of village Logon and municipal officials of Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines.  Simple percentage and rank were used in the treatment of the data.  Results showed that island is vulnerable to risk and that devised plans for emergency disasters, hazard mitigation, and contingency are needed. The researchers recommended the use of the model. However, further research on its effectiveness should be conducted to confirm the preliminary findings.

At the end of 1971 the Government designated the extention of the Community Development Project to the planned total of twelve areas. The project was then described as ‘a national action-research experiment’ carried out in selected urban localities in order to discover ‘how far the social problems experienced by people in a local community can be better understood and resolved through closer co-ordination of all agencies in the social welfare field – central and local government and the voluntary organizations – together with the local people themselves’. There was a special emphasis placed on the importance of ‘citizen involvement and community self-help’, together with the expectation that ‘the lessons learned can be fed back into social policy, planning and administration, both at central and local government level’.

The progress of increasingly sophisticated science and technology has led to a lot of development that refers to industrialization, especially in the private sector. Development carried out in Indonesia, is still gender-biased and lacks consideration for the role of women. The amount of development including companies has an impact on the environment and society, so the government has obliged every company to carry out activities called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The CSR program is one of the community empowerment programs and can also be applied as a women's empowerment program. The purpose of this research is to see the relationship between the success rate of CSR programs and the level of empowerment of rural women. This study uses a combination of quantitative approaches and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach is done by the census method using questionnaire instruments while the qualitative approach uses the case study method and is obtained through in-depth interview guides. The results showed that there was no relationship between the success rate of the CSR program and the level of empowerment of rural women in Sumbermulyo Village. This is because the success of CSR programs and the empowerment of CSR programs is more to the social and not economic aspects.Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility, Success, Women Empowerment ABSTRAK Kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang semakin canggih menyebabkan banyaknya pembangunan yang merujuk pada industrialisasi khususnya di sektor swasta. Pembangunan yang dilakukan di Indonesia, masih bias gender dan kurang mempertimbangkan peran perempuan. Banyaknya pembangunan termasuk perusahaan memiliki dampak bagi lingkungan dan masyarakat, maka pemerintah telah mewajibkan setiap perusahaan untuk melakukan kegiatan yang disebut dengan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).  Program CSR merupakan salah satu program pemberdayaan masyarakat dan dapat pula diterapkan sebagai program pemberdayaan perempuan. Tujuan penulisan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara tingkat keberhasilan program CSR dengan tingkat keberdayaan perempuan pedesaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan kombinasi pendekatan kuantitatif dan pendekatan kualitatif. Pendekatan kuantitatif dilakukan dengan metode sensus menggunakan instrumen kuesioner sedangkan pendekatan kualitatif menggunakan metode studi kasus dan didapatkan melalui panduan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat keberhasilan program CSR dengan tingkat keberdayaan perempuan pedesaan di Desa Sumbermulyo. Hal ini karena keberhasilan program CSR dan keberdayaan program CSR lebih kepada aspek sosial bukan ekonomi.Kata kunci: Corporate Social Responsibility, Keberhasilan, Pemberdayaan Perempuan
