Study of proposed activities in development of BUMD for regional development

There are still very few regulations governing the development of BUMD, even though the role of BUMD in regional development is very central. The role of BUMD is very strategic in the regional economy and development. One of these studies focuses on describing the function of BUMD in regional development. While the analytical methods used are APKL, USG, and Mc. Namara methods. In this study, the strategic issue in fostering the selected BUMDs is the lack of comprehensive governance of Regional Equity Participation (PMD) in BUMDs. Of the selected strategic issues, the solution is the preparation of Regional Regulations related to PMD governance. On this basis, five activities are proposed to support the realization of governance of regional capital participation, including the preparation of an academic draft study of regional regulations on the governance of regional equity participation in BUMD. From the results of the analysis, it is suggested that considering that BUMD belongs to the regional government and contains a high dose of politics, the PMD process requires a political approach in addition to a systematic technocratic approach.

Efficiency versus Equity in Spatial Siting of Electricity Generation: Citizen Preferences in a Serious Board Game in Switzerland

Energy transitions around the world will change the spatial fingerprint of the electricity sector, but there is a lack of studies on citizen preferences for siting the future mix of electricity technologies. Using the case of Switzerland in 2035, we present a serious board game to form and elicit citizen preferences for spatial siting of a full mix of electricity technologies and we test this game with 44 participants in the city of Zurich. The game proves to help elicit valid preferences of the participants and lead to measurable learning effects about this complex, multi-dimensional topic. The results show that these 44 participants prefer a diverse mix of renewable technologies for Switzerland in 2035. In terms of siting, these participants consistently choose the efficiency strategy, where new plants are concentrated in the areas where they produce most electricity at least cost, in contrast to the strategy of regional equity, where all Swiss regions would equally build new generation and share the benefits and burdens of the energy transition.
