The spread and addition of COVID-19 cases are certainly dangerous. Government policies and commitments from the community play an important role in the process of accelerating the handling of COVID-19. This study aims to review the policies that have been issued by the government to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and the public to these policies. The method used in this study is a literature review. The results of this study indicate that various policies have been issued by the government in handling COVID-19 such as policies for implementing health protocols, Large-Scale Social Restrictions, and policies for fulfilling COVID-19 vaccinations in the community. The research concludes that the government and the role of the community are very important that their existence greatly influences the implementation of these policies. Public awareness is the key to success in breaking the transmission of the coronavirus, the government needs to make firm policies in efforts to handle COVID-19, and education to the public must be carried out massively.

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.

PurposeCOVID-19 cases in Indonesia continue to increase and spread. This article aims to analyse the Indonesian government policies as a response in dealing with COVID-19.Design/methodology/approachThis article is a narrative analysis with the approach of a systematic literature review.FindingsThis article found that the Indonesian government responded slowly to the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of its spread in March 2020. The government then issued some policies such as physical distancing, large-scale social restriction (PSBB - Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar) and social safety net. These policies will only work if the society follows them. The society could be the key to success of those policies, either as the support or the obstacles.Practical implicationsThis policy analysis with literature review, conducted from March to July 2020 in Indonesia, provides experiences and knowledge in how to respond to the dynamic problems of public policy in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak, especially in the context of a developing country.Originality/valueThe novelty of the article lies in the unique policy response in a diverse society. It suggests that the policymakers should pay more attention to the society’s characteristics as well as the mitigation system as a preventive measure and risk management to make clear policy in the society.

This research investigates the factors that potentially affect public attitudes and their adoption of renewable energy technologies for electrical energy production in Afghanistan. The study is carried out with a survey from Kabul and its neighboring provinces including Logar, Maidan Wardak, Nangarhar, Ghazni, Parwan & Kapisa provinces. We used a random sampling process to collect data using a web-based questionnaire. The survey was well designed to highlight conveniently the public understanding, willingness, and attitudes toward adopting renewable energy technologies (RETs). The outcome of the survey is then evaluated to discover the most potential factor affecting public acceptance of RETs. The results declared that the educational level, expertise in RETs, and income of respondents are positively related, while the age of respondents is negatively related to the public willingness on the use and investment in RETs. The majority of respondents have used one type of RETs, however, 23 % of respondents have not used any type of RETs. Study shows that the RETs use and access to grid electricity are reversely related, where the access is lower, the RETs use is higher and vice versa. Most of the respondents were not well informed and most disagreed with the government policies on RETs, therefore, public awareness programs on RETs and government policies are recommended. The majority of respondents were willing to invest in RETs, therefore, the government should commit itself and support private sectors to invest in RETs and take part in its development.

Ict Policy

This chapter provides an evaluation of ICT policy developments in Botswana. In particular, it highlights major advancements in areas of national ICT policy development and its implementation in the country. The country’s National ICT policy, Maitlamo, has been a significant factor in driving ICTs in the country. The chapter asserts that opportunities in ICT development in the country are evidenced by not only implementation of the policy but further by greater investment of financial resources by the government and the role of the private sector. Further, the chapter argues that while implementation of the national ICT policy has brought achievements in liberalisation and expansion of public services in rural areas, there are still a number of challenges to address if universal access has to be achieved. Among these are unavailability of ICT services in rural areas, high costs of the technology and the lack of public awareness on the use of technology. Proposals made at the end of the chapter call for the government to speed implementation of ICT policy, form stronger partnerships with the public sector and further balance the role of BTC vis a vis other players so that the playing field is leveled.

Communication Habits

Nowadays the role of social media as a communication tool is increasing. Information technologies and communication habits of society changes also the way and the form how to create communication between the government and the society in Latvia. The aim of this research study is to evaluate the role of social media in Latvian government communication by analysing the use of the social media and interaction with the public. The formation of relations between government institutions and the society is defined in different policy documents of the Latvian government. Such research methods as document analysis, content analysis and comparative analysis to measure Latvian government profiles and followers’ involvement were employed to determine how social media use contributes to co-operation between the government and the public and effective exchange of information and coordination. The ways of communication in state administration performance have been changed. It is possible to mark two important changes – firstly, the government communication goal is not just to increase public awareness, but also interaction and involvement of the public in state administration, and secondly, development of information technology and public communication habits expands and makes varied methods and forms of government communication. Different Latvian government policy documents increase the role of communication in state administration, but the communication which is implemented by Latvian state institutions is unable to overcome public distancing and the lack of interest in the state administration.

The purpose of this community service was to provide knowledge and understanding of halal certificates to the public, increase public awareness of the importance of halal certificates and motivate the community to have halal certificates for those who have businesses in the scope of halal products. The service method was carried out by socializing the role of the halal certificate, giving questionnaires to participants and evaluating the questionnaire. The parameters of public halal awareness are reviewed from general knowledge about halal law, public awareness about the implementation of halal products and knowledge about the role of halal certificates. The results showed that all participants had good general knowledge of halal law, had high level of awareness of the implementation of the use of halal products and all participants have good knowledge about the role and management of halal certificates. The results of direct discussions with participants explained that micro business actors do not have a halal certificate due to the lack of socialization regarding halal certificate management by the Government. It can be concluded that basic knowledge of halal law and high awareness of halal are not sufficient to guarantee the high desire of micro-entrepreneurs to apply for halal certificates.

Role Of The Government

Wakaf is one of the main religious service which contains productive economic values but in reality thevalues haven’t fully been implemented. The most important factor of this is the lack of socialization and the minimum role of the government (Badan Wakaf Indonesia). The enactment of the new wakaf bill (UU No. 41/2004) which followed by Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 42 Tahun 2006 has not effective yet. How to maximize waqf advantages for society empowerment? This is the focus of study. The result of study shows that wakaf is very important to be the source of capital for empowering umat’s economy. The way to understand (fiqh) wakaf must be reformulated. The maximization of productive wakaf needs proper public understanding and good management. That is why that the nadhir must fulfill moral, managerial, and entrepreneur qualifications. The writer conclude that only trough revitalizing the role of BWI and the public awareness, the new paradigm of waqf can be realized in Indonesia.

The low attention to learners, students and the public on the history as well as the withdrawal of the application of curriculum in 2013 add to the problems of strengthening the role of history in the nation’s character. This affects the poor students who want to pursue higher education studies for history or science education majors history, plus the lack of job security from the government. Government and stakeholders are obliged to fix the condition of the nation and state are already crisscrossing this. We need a breakthrough in learning activities or movements to public awareness that history is not solely belong to the ruling, but the history is the property of the entire nation of Indonesia. Public history is expected to be a breakthrough in the history closer to the people. Besides public history programs provide employment opportunities for graduates to be able to work in all areas of life, and not fixated on any one area of work. In the public program history, the public are invited to play an active role in the history of his people, so that the character of a nation is not just a slogan government alone

Traditional Approaches

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.
