Abstract

The article develops a methodology for applying the competence-based approach to use on a sub-national level in order to determine points of growth of a regional economy. A proprietary meta-model is proposed that links ‘to-do tasks’ for regional public authorities with essential competences. It also contains some methodological conclusions with the modernization strategy of a regional economic policy on the example of modern Ukraine, which is designed due to comparing an existing approach and approach modernized. Departed from the modernization meta-model and strongly relying on discreteness (discontinuity) as the natural property of any modernization, the authors substantiate the mechanism for overcoming undesirable discrete shifts during the modernization. Then, the relevant methods and forms of international centers of competence for the responsible development of a limited number of necessary competencies are discussed. A national network of competence centers is proposed as an optimal and sustainable way to run those centers in the future. Generally all findings were originated according a methodology on desk research, data collection and fresh expert survey of Ukrainian stakeholders.

Abstract

Future development of coastal and island communities is nowadays marked by two evolving trends, namely the rapid urbanization and the increasing interest in sea-related activities. Coping with these trends as well as other challenges faced in these areas (climate change, coastal erosion etc.) lies at the heart of policy concern, while has also opened up new fields of research work and concern as to the methodological aspects that can support an integrated planning view of terrestrial and marine environments and their interactions. By drawing on knowledge acquired from relative studies at a macro-regional level, this paper attempts to shift to the local level; and structure an integrated methodological approach enabling the concurrent confrontation of territorial and maritime planning issues and policy making. The paper places emphasis on testing well-established planning tools (MICMAC and MACTOR models) that are capable of perceiving, in a structured way, the integration of land and marine environments into one system as well as integration of views, interests, stakes etc. of land and maritime stakeholders. Implementation of this framework in an island region –Zakynthos Greece– designates the value of these planning tools in: feeding the planning process with valuable knowledge, emerging from the study of interaction of land and maritime subsystems as well as of respective stakeholders; and effectively supporting implementation of subsequent planning stages for building up more informed policy decisions.

Keywords: Blue growth, Integrated marine and land spatial planning, Policy, MICMAC and MACTOR models, Island regions.

Abstract

Indonesian government through RAN/RAD-GRK program set target to reduce GHG emission between 26%~41% by 2020 based on 2005 emissions under BAU. Study begins by simple identify and evaluate current socio-economic structure condition to achieve Indonesia’s GHG emission reduction target. We assume optimal GHG reduction rate (n) between 0%~20% then investigate its impacts to related sectors. As result, found 0.015Gt is estimated amount of GHG emission in Kupang before optimized (or about 0. 47% of total GHG emission in Indonesia) and 0.012Gt after optimized. The optimal n is around 15%~17% with Kupang GRP (1,656.86~1,371.51) Trillion IDR. The result indicated that Kupang economic cannot attain n more than 17%~20% without any conflict among stakeholders and current gross regional product (GRP) is not optimal to control GHG emission but has a space for making a higher GRP by keeping the same amount of GRP as before optimized. Relation between n and GRP called the trade-off and it is allowed can be raised up by introducing renewable energy technology for future research. In Indonesia, this study becomes the first study dealt with GHG emission reduction in the city level focused on economic activities.
