The Impact

Digital technologies, ubiquitous in our daily life, have radically changed the way we work, communicate, and consume in a short period of time. They affect all components of quality of life: well-being, work, health, education, social connections, environmental quality, the ability to participate and govern civil society, and so on. Digital transformation creates both opportunities and serious risks to the well-being of people. Researchers and statistical agencies around the world are facing a major challenge to develop new tools to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the well-being of the population. The risks are very diverse in nature and it is very difficult to identify the key factor. All researchers conclude that secure digital technologies significantly improve the lives of those who have the skills to use them and pose a serious risk of inequality for society, as they introduce a digital divide between those who have the skills to use them and those who do not. In the article, the author examines the risks created by digital technologies for some components of the quality of life (digital component of the quality of life), which are six main components: the digital quality of the population, providing the population with digital benefits, the labor market in the digital economy, the impact of digitalization on the social sphere, state electronic services for the population and the security of information activities. The study was carried out on the basis of the available statistical base and the results of research by scientists from different countries of the world. The risks of the digital economy cannot be ignored when pursuing state social policy. Attention is paid to government regulation aimed at reducing the negative consequences of digitalization through the prism of national, federal projects and other events.

Local Involvement

The full involvement of local communities in the tourism sector, not only benefits them and the environment in general, but also improves the quality of the tourism experience. Projects imposed from outside and motivated by the pursuit of rapid economic growth often override local needs, conditions and resources, and result in unacceptable environmental, social and cultural costs. Local involvement is crucial to sustainable and appropriate development, which meets the needs of the local people and safeguards their natural and cultural environments. Thus a local development strategy is essential, especially in disadvantaged areas and countries.

Zakah in Indonesia has a great potential in contributing the improvement of life quality of people in need in Indonesia. With this such potential, many Amil Zakah Institutions (Lembaga Amil Zakat/LAZ) are founded in Indonesia as faith based organizations (FBO). The literatures mentioned that Faith Based Organization has already taken its own place in the world of Social Work and Social Welfare. This article discussed the LAZ existence as one of the FBO in Indonesia. Utilization of zakah from charity to empowerment--including economic empowerment—has been an evidence that LAZ evolved into a better direction. This certainly can negate the negative stigma that has been pinned to social services of the FBO. Keywords: faith based organization, human service organization, manajemen, lembaga amil zakat

Local Community Detection

In complex network analysis, the local community detection problem is getting more and more attention. Because of the difficulty to get complete information of the network, such as the World Wide Web, the local community detection has been proposed by researcher. That is, we can detect a community from a certain source vertex with limited knowledge of an entire graph. The previous methods of local community detection now are more or less inadequate in some places. In this paper, we have proposed a new local modularity metric [Formula: see text] and based on it, a two-phase algorithm is proposed. The method we have taken is a greedy addition algorithm which means adding vertices into the community until [Formula: see text] does not increase. Compared with the previous methods, when our method is calculating the modularity metric, the range of vertices what we considered may affect the quality of the community detection wider. The results of experiments show that whether in computer-generated random graph or in the real networks, our method can effectively solve the problem of the local community detection.

Repensar a economia sob o enfoque do ecodesenvolvimento é um desafio por meio das ecossocioeconomias, ou seja, uma outra economia. Entre as experiências existentes, destaca-se o movimento Empresas B que atende uma demanda de consumidores e investidores cada vez mais exigentes e conscientes quando correlacionam a questão ambiental e o impacto no consumo, sob o slogan “não ser a melhor empresa do mundo, mas a melhor para o mundo”. O objetivo da pesquisa é identificar diferentes formas com as quais uma B-Corp pode beneficiar o meio ambiente e a comunidade local. Para isso foi realizado uma pesquisa exploratória na qual se utilizou levantamento bibliográfico, pesquisa documental e entrevista estruturada sobre a experiência do Hotel Evergreen Lodge Yosemite. As empresas B constituem um movimento pragmático de transitoriedade paradigmático entre economias que por um lado possui uma racionalidade de ganhos econômicos de curto prazo, no entanto com prejuízos socioambientais de longo prazo, e por outro lado, uma nova economia, que concilia ganhos ecossocioeconômicos, ainda em construção, no sentido que as experiências estão em curso. São exemplos de como é possível conduzir a gestão de uma empresa de forma economicamente responsável, defendendo princípios de ética social e ambiental em relação ao desenvolvimento local, entendido como comunitário, e suas imbricações com os demais espaços.Palavras-Chave: Ecodesenvolvimento. Ecossocioeconomia. Movimento B. B-Corp.ABSTRACTRethinking the economy from the perspective of ecodevelopment is a challenge through ecosystems and economies, that is, another economy. Among the existing experiences, the Companies B movement stands out, which meets an increasingly demanding and conscious consumer and investor demand when correlating the environmental issue and the impact on consumption, under the slogan “not being the best company in the world, but the best for the world”. The purpose of the research is to identify different ways in which a B-Corp can benefit the environment and the local community. For this, a methodology with a qualitative and exploratory approach was used, in which the bibliographic survey, the documentary research and the structured interview about the experience of the Hotel Evergreen Lodge Yosemite were used as technical procedures. Companies B constitute a pragmatic movement of paradigmatic transience between economies that on the one hand have a rationality of short-term economic gains, however with long-term socio-environmental losses, and on the other hand, a new economy, which reconciles ecosystem-economic gains, under construction, in the sense that the experiments are ongoing. Examples of how it is possible to conduct the management of a company in an economically responsible manner, defending principles of social and environmental ethics in relation to local development, understood as community, and its overlap with other spaces.Keywords: Ecodevelopment.
