The mandate of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia through various laws and regulations, provide an alternative source of funding for local government for the development and the provision of basic services in their area. However, the process of integrating business CSR with local development program must consider the perception of all relevant stakeholders, namely local government officials and staff or managers managing CSR programs in the company. Business CSR are often placed as an instrument for companies to achieve its interest, such as to obtain a social license, reputation and security of business. This study is aimed at understanding business perceptions in integrating business CSR with local development program.

Evaluation Mechanism

Giving greater authority to local governments to carry out development innovations in the era of regional autonomy is both an opportunity and a challenge. The granting of such authority requires the support of the capacity of the regional government apparatus to be able to plan innovative development program activities based on the needs of the region. In fact, there are still many local government apparatus that do not yet have the capacity to plan innovative development program activities. Data information is needed to determine the factors that become the root cause of the low capacity of local government officials to carry out development planning. The purpose of knowing the root factor that causes the low capacity of government apparatus in carrying out development planning is to obtain solutions that can be done by local governments to increase the capacity of their government apparatus. As a research location, Probolinggo City was chosen. The method used in this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study revealed that there were several factors causing the low capacity of the regional government apparatus, the evaluation mechanism was not effective, there was no documentation and communication of the results of development program activities, lack of Human Resources development plans, weak development program of input data planning and the rapid mutation intensity of bureaucratic apparatus.

Mining companies increasingly adopt trusts, foundations, and funds as part of their efforts to obtain and maintain a social license to operate and corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies for community development. Using qualitative methodology, this article examined host communities’ perceptions of two mining company-financed trust funds in Ghana. The interviews revealed that although the community members considered some aspects of the trust funds positively, the trust funds’ overall objectives to promote meaningful participation of local community members and contribute to local development had not been met. Inadequate planning and needs assessments, and inflexibility in externally framed CSR practices that were unfavorable to the operational contexts, were among the key factors undermining the success of the trust funds.

Natuna regency is a rich area of natural resource products, but still includes underdeveloped areas in Riau Islands Province. Local governments have to make fundamental changes in building the infrastructure aspects, economic, and human resources to eliminate underdevelopment and reduce dependency on central government. The aims of this research are: (1). to evaluate the effectiveness and stakeholders’ perception of the CD program, in terms of participation and partnership; and (2) to formulate a strategy for synergizing the CD Program of Star Energy with the local government’s development program. The analytical methods that are used in this research are descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis. This research was undertaken in Palmatak Sub District and Siantan Sub District of Natuna District of Kepulauan Riau Province, from June until October, 2008. The results indicated that the government stakeholders perceived that the participation of the CD program’s beneficiaries was adequate, and that the partnership between Star Energy and the local government was inadequate. The result of SWOT analysis suggested that Star Energy needs to focus its CD program on sustainable activities, such as economic development and education programs. The strategy for increasing synergy with the local development programs is to intensify communication between the company and the local government through the formation of community development partnership forum.Keywords: Community Development (CD), Effectiveness, Policy Strategy

Democratic Decentralization

Early 1990s governments across the South have embarked on democratic decentralization reforms aimed at introducing and strengthening local governance because of its assumed potential to improve the delivery of public services and alleviate poverty. To comply with that international practice, in early 2000 Tanzania government decide embarked on an ambitious Local Government Reform Program that addressed Political decentralization. Political decentralization signaled the government’s commitment to enhance the decision making authority of local government councils on matters affecting local development including determining priorities for local development, land use, finance, service delivery and human resource management. This paper sought to find out whether the selected local government council led by councilors enjoys the development planning, and service delivery authority as established in the local government law. The findings have confirmed that the case study council enjoyed modest decision making authority in the areas of local development planning, selecting local development strategy, and enjoyed even greater authority over service delivery powers.

- study of Keita, Niger, 1958-2007 (Processo di popolamento di un ambiente rurale fragile: insegnamenti dal caso di Keita, Niger, 1958-2007). Niger is a perfect case for studying the consequences of population growth on renewable natural resources (Rnr) since it is the 5th fastest growing county demographically and the country with the highest share of rural population. Studies of population pressure on Niger's Rnr have reached opposite findings. On the one hand, studies showed agricultural intensification, densification, and natural assisted regeneration. On the other hand, they also highlighted rain-fed crop encroachment on forest, bush, and grazing land; decrease in yields; and conflicts over access to water pasture. The coun- try is using a wide range of participatory tools for Rnr management and local development planning, but there has been little discussion on the effectiveness of these tools. This study seeks to find out what the trends regarding population growth and Rnr management are in Keita Department (5,000 sq km, pop. 258,000), a semi-arid, remote rural area where only 26% of the land is arable. 30 years of increasing population pressure (up to 86 inh. /sqkm in 2007) brought rain-fed crop encroachment on bush and rangeland. Intensification is absent both in rain-fed and in irrigated agriculture. Nevertheless, since 1984 the Keita rural development program has provided cereal selfsufficiency to at least one fourth of the 1988-2001-population growth and has reduced population pressure on forestland. At the present, municipal development plans have identified strategies based mainly on micro realizations. Road construction, microcredit, and higher value-added production are not being considered and strategies to secure the next generation's access to crop, forest, and grazing land are not being defined.

Republika Srpska

The mutual relationship between spatial and development planning at the local level is a very current topic that has concrete consequences for development processes in local government units in the territory of Republika Srpska (RS). Although it is still unregulated from the legislative point of view, local development planning is much more present in practice, which is primarily manifested in the almost complete coverage of the territory of the RS by local development strategies. The connection of these documents to spatial and urban plans has not been treated in an appropriate way, which leads to a certain degree of their mutual inconsistency. The basic hypothesis of this paper arises from this statement, and that is that the lack of a clearly defined connection with spatial planning in the methodology of drafting local development documents leads to the inconsistency of these documents as the final result. As an auxiliary hypothesis, the assumption will be investigated that a large discrepancy in the coverage of the territory of the Republika Srpska between local development strategies and spatial plans of local government units also contributed to this inconsistency.

Using Data

The South African local government sector has undergone changes in the post-apartheid era as policy makers have sought to improve basic services provided to disadvantaged local communities. While scholars have considered various dimensions of the reform program, little effort has been directed at evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency dimensions of the changes in service provision, with some notable exceptions (van der Westhuizen and Dollery, 2009; Krugell, et al., 2010). This article seeks to contribute to this literature by evaluating the efficiency with which municipalities have provided (Reconstruction and Development Program) RDP water, RDP sanitation RDP electricity and RDP refuse removal, using Data Envelopment Analysis techniques (DEA) applied to panel data from 2006/2007 to 2008/2009 for 231 local municipalities and 46 district municipalities.Keywords: Data warehousing, Systems thinking, Prescriptive theory, Descriptive theory, Interpretative research.

The Developed Countries

Local development planning in local government units (municipalities and towns) has always played an important social role in all countries. In recent decades, this area has been regulated by adequate laws, which differ greatly from one another primarily due to an underdeveloped science-based theory of local development. According to the recently constructed theory, two local planning systems were identified. The first system (of a long-standing tradition) is called the partial system because local and overall social development in a particular country is solely taken care of by a country that has its own development interests. The second (new) system is called the integral system, which implies partner relations between the state and the most influential professional democratic forces that participate in development planning activities. The comparison of these two systems points to the great advantages of the integral system of local planning over the partial one; for this reason, developed countries are increasingly switching to the use of the integral system. Due to the insufficiently developed theory of local planning, this scientific article aims to contribute to supplementing the integral system of local development by projecting its general implications for local self-government and the associated nation-state, as well as the international community. Based on relevant research methods, the obtained results have shown that the implementation of this system implicitly causes positive fundamental social changes which enable less developed countries in particular to catch up with the developed countries much faster and much more efficiently.

This research aims to identify government activities that refer to Intellectual Capital resources at Pemerintah Kota Semarang (Local Government of Semarang City). Pemerintah Kota Semarang applies the Smart City concept to establish and enhance IC, therefore needs to identify IC components. The Public Sector IC concept in this research refers to the Spanish SICAP Project. The qualitative method with a single case holistic case study strategy is selected. Data is collected through interviews, observation, discussion, document checking, and the internet. Fifty-five IC activities have identified. IC forms reported through Penilaian Prestasi Kerja (Work Performance Assessment) and  Local Government Financial Report in the form of intangible assets. All forms of intangible assets are computer software. The research found another component of Relational Capital is research collaboration. Research collaboration is managed by the Research and Development Field of Local Development Planning Agency. The Semarang City Government should be able to carry out an IC identification process so that it is in line with the explicit and implicit goals of a Smart Project. This process of identifying IC can provide information for valuation and henceforth can be a focus in the subject of managerial development within the Semarang City Government. Future research is hoped to be able to provide better IC deepening in each agency, agency, or office within the Semarang City Government.
