Resilience Index

Based on the sample data of 81 non-provincial smart cities in China in 2017, the comprehensive evaluation index of the resilience of sample cities is calculated by using the entropy method, and the spatial differences of different factors on the resiliency are analyzed by using the geographical weighted regression (GWR) model. The conclusions are as follows: Firstly, the comprehensive evaluation index of the resilience of smart cities presents a spatial distribution characteristic of decreasing from the east to the west. At the same time, the resilience comprehensive index, the public infrastructure resilience capacity index, the economic development resilience index, the social security resilience index, and the ecological environment resilience index of smart cities have obvious agglomeration effects on their geographical spaces. Secondly, the public infrastructure resilience capacity index and the ecological environment resilience index are both low with a discrete distribution, while the economic development resilience index and the social security resilience index are both high with a concentrated distribution. Thirdly, different factors have significantly positive effects on the resilience of smart cities. In particular, the public infrastructure capacity resilience index decreases from the north to the south with the spatial distribution pattern of concentration, the economic development resilience index and the ecological environment resilience index of smart cities decrease from the east to the west with a concentrated spatial distribution pattern, and the social security resilience index of smart cities decreases from the southwest to the northeast with a concentrated spatial distribution pattern. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance awareness of smart cities, strengthen the driving force of science and technology innovation, strengthen public infrastructure and service construction, and continuously improve the rapid resilience of smart cities.

Local-based tourism becomes one of economic development strategies of the area based on local potency. Sustainable tourism can be defined as ‘tourism, which takes into account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts’, addressing the demands of visitors, the environment, the industry and local communities as the host of development. KampungJayengan Surakarta is the traditional settlements located in the downtown, which spontaneously developed by Banjar Community, that arrived in Surakarta in 1746 as jewelry traders. Right now, the existence and the identity of Kampung Jayengan as Kampung of Jewelry has been lost its attraction, constrained by development of modern public facilities and services in the city center. This study analyzed the challenge faced by Kampung Jayengan to develop its potencies as Jewelry Industrial Kampung-based Tourism becoming a part of tourist destination in Surakarta as a creative city. The research type was predictive research  using mixed methods. Several analysis have been conducted from identification of the potencies of kampung. It consisted of analysis comformity of the area to the spatial structure general plan policy; analysis of demographic; analysis of economy, analysis of availability of public infrastructure; analysis of building and environment and analysis of land use suitability.  Results of analysis shows that the area has a great challenge for Jewelry Industrial Kampung-based Tourism development, which will have multiplier effect on increasing economic development of the area as well as economic development and welfare of the local community

AbstractParticularly in an emerging or developing economy context, generating sufficient tax revenues is essential for the provision and upkeep of well-needed public infrastructure/public capital that supports the development process. However, tax policy can also cause distortionary and negative effects to economic activity and growth, especially if excessive taxation is imposed. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of tax revenues and estimate its overall net impact on economic growth in emerging economies in Asia. The dataset covers emerging economies from South, Southeast, and East Asia during 1998-2015. The results show that tax revenues have an overall positive net impact on the growth rate of real GDP per capita, suggesting the positive effects associated with taxation outweigh the negative and distortionary effects of taxation. Thus, evidence is found that the collection of adequate amounts of tax revenues (with which public investments were financed) contributed significantly to economic development.
