Abstract

The study examined the effect of outsourcing on the operational performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Using questionnaires, a descriptive research design was employed with a sample size of 68 SMEs in Sunyani Municipality. The data analysis was based on a mean score and standard deviation using SPSS. The nature of outsourcing recorded in the study was the SMEs outsourcing some of their activities (mean score = 4.47, SD = 0.47), the practice affecting all areas of their operations (mean score = 4.24, SD = 0.47), and specifically internal operations (mean score = 4.17, SD = 0.55). The reasons SMEs in Sunyani practice outsourcing are to free up the company's resources to focus on its core competencies (mean score = 4.41, SD = 0.37), improve its competitive position (mean score = 4.26, SD = 0.41), avoid labour issues (mean score = 4.11, SD = 0.43), reduce cost (mean score = 3.82, SD = 0.52), reduce the risk associated with in-house production (mean score = 3.80, SD = 0.54), and increase efficiency (mean score = 3.75, SD = 0.60). The effects of outsourcing on operations and service delivery are reduced through superior provider performance, and the provider's lower cost structure (mean score = 4.21, SD = 0.43) and existing skills are commercially exploited (mean score = 4.18, SD = 0.47). Therefore, SMEs in Sunyani are encouraged to continue with their outsourcing practices. However, further study is recommended on the factors and challenges affecting outsourcing among Ghanaian companies.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine various types of local wisdom that are carried out in managing peatlands in a sustainable manner within the framework of community-managed areas (wilayah kelola rakyat). The concept consists of four components, there are Tata Kuasa (Governance), Tata Kelola (Management), Tata Produksi (Production) and Tata Konsumsi (Consumption) which will be used as a peatland management framework. The use of this concept is expected to be a guide in managing peatlands through improving village governance and implementing agroindustry on peatlands based on local wisdom. The research was conducted in 16 villages in two districts in Jambi Province, Tanjung Jabung Barat and Tanjung Jabung Timur. The methods used are field observations, interviews and literature studies related to local wisdom, village governance and agroindustry. The results obtained are that actually the village community is able to utilize and process natural potential with existing local wisdom and is able to implement it in the form of village governance through drafting village regulations and processing agricultural products as part of agroindustry.

Abstract

South Africa has been repeatedly ranked as one of the world's most dangerous countries due to its high level of violence. The country is currently facing a surge of violent protests, which is largely due to a lack of service delivery in communities. The frustration of citizens with the government's unfulfilled promises is a common reason for such protests. University students are also not immune to such violent protests, which often disrupt academic activities. These protests lead to injuries and damage to government buildings, causing harm to both the community and institutions. Additionally, violent protests have disastrous environmental repercussions affecting air quality, aquatic and marine ecosystems. To address this issue, the study suggests that environmental education should be intensified to sensitize the public about the effects of violent protests on the environment. Using the theoretical lens of frustration-aggression theory, the study explored the effects of violent protests in South Africa. The findings highlight the need for urgent action to address the root causes of violent protests, such as inadequate service delivery. The study also emphasizes the importance of raising awareness of the environmental impact of violent protests, and the need for environmental education to be prioritized in the country. By addressing these issues, it is hoped that violent protests will be reduced and a more peaceful and sustainable future can be achieved for South Africa.

Abstract

The devastating effect of climate change (CC) on the environment all over the world has been a worrisome phenomenon. The effort by the government and other stakeholders at integrating climate change education (CCE) into the school curriculum in South Africa has not yielded the desired result because of the lack of teacher professional training programs for teaching CCE in the classroom. Using the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) theory as lenses, this qualitative study investigated the implementation of the in-service teacher development programs and their role in enhancing the integration of CCE in Natural Sciences lessons. Five secondary schools out of twenty schools that participated in the in-service teacher training program conducted by one higher education institution (HEI) were purposely selected. Data for this study were generated through one-on-one semi-structured interviews conducted with four participating Natural Sciences teachers at the selected schools. It emerged from the data that the implementation of in-service teacher development programs helped Natural Sciences teachers to integrate CCE into their lessons. The data also revealed that Natural Sciences teachers’ content and pedagogical content knowledge on CC was lacking thus they were not adequately integrating CCE in their lessons. The study concludes that the teacher training programs are responsible for teacher improved pedagogical practice of Natural Sciences teachers in the classroom and the integration of CCE. The paper, therefore, recommends that teacher professional development programs on CCE for Natural Sciences teachers be organized on a continuous basis.

Abstract

An increase in population in Surabaya City may have an impact on the activities of industrial, trade and service centres. One of the most important supporting facilities is the transportation sector. The use of fuel in transportation is the main cause of the impact on air quality. This study aims to evaluate the concentration of carbon monoxide on main roads in Surabaya City and to analyse the effect of vehicles on carbon monoxide on the main roads in the city of Surabaya on covid-19 transition. The research was conducted in the field by directly measuring the concentration of carbon monoxide and the number of vehicles on three main roads in Surabaya. The results of carbon monoxide measurements and the number of vehicles were analysed using linear regression. This research reveals that in general, the carbon monoxide concentration has exceeded the air quality standard based on Government Regulation no. 22 of 2021. This result indicates that many people have travelled for various activities in the city after the covid-19 outbreak. In addition, based on the results of the linear regression test, it is known that there is a significant effect of the number of vehicles on the carbon monoxide concentration (?<0.05).

Abstract

Catur Kintamani Village has been designated as a tourist village based on Bangli Regent Regulation Number 4 of 2018. Tourism trips with beautiful rural nature are the turning point for developing rural tourism. The situation analysis found that the tourism village faced the challenge of low local and domestic tourist visits, economic opportunities. Low intention to visit is influenced by management practices. Research has found that visits increase profits(Abbasi-Moud, Vahdat-Nejad, & Sadri, 2021). On the other hand, intense business competition, societal behavior and lifestyles put pressure on organizations to introduce alternative management to provide intentions to visit. The purpose of this community service is to strengthen the tourist village as an economic institution. The selected partner is a tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis). Through a series of participatory training methods attended by 5 participants, partners' knowledge and skills in the field of tourist destination management increased. The results of management optimization education and training show an increase in competence in marketing, human resource management, operations and financial management. PKM activity increases knowledge insight, changes in behavior of marketers, manages resources (natural and human) and finances. In the future, similar activities are needed with a focus on marketing management to sustainable tourism.

Abstract

This study is about youth citizenship in the management of public issues. The study based on considerations related to the demographic situation of the population in Indonesia, which is actually dominated by young people. Especially for this study, young people will be placed in two important areas. First, the citizenship of young people and secondly the citizenship of young people who grow up in the context of a region (city) that is economically growing in a moderate range (Kupang City) and a small town (Bajawa City). The main issue raised in this article is how are the conditions and citizenship of young people growing and developing in response to the public issues around them? The method used in this study is a qualitative method based on in-depth interviews, case studies and discussions involving young people ranging in age from 15-25 years. The results of research in these two areas show a tendency for the involvement of young people in public affairs. First, young people in both regions have the ability to define public issues that they consider important. Second, the tendency to use digital media as a forum for organizing and social movements. Digital media allows children's movements which tend to be small, limited. Third, autonomous movement. This independence is especially strongly influenced by their desire not to be interfered with by other groups. Fourth, diametric relations with the government. Even though their efforts are often considered important by the government, they tend to keep their distance from the government.
