The transaction system in local governments has undergone a transition from manual to non-cash transactions. Semarang Regency is one of twelve regions selected as pilot projects. The initial implementation supporting infrastructure has not met the required targets. The existence of manual transitions to non-cash will be followed by different procedures and different information systems. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of supporting infrastructure and information systems on non-cash transaction policies and see the influence of supporting infrastructure on information systems. This research is a quantitative research, with variables of quality, quantity, perceptions about the ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitudes toward use, behavior to keep using. Sampling uses census sampling with 71 treasurer respondents. The method of data analysis uses SEM-PLS with software WAPLS 6. The results of the research obtained that the supporting infrastructure has no influence on non-cash transaction policies. Information systems affect the non-cash transaction policy. Supporting infrastructure affects information systems.

Initial Work

Discussion of the role of the rehabilitation counselor shows the significance of coordinating skills for effective client service delivery. An attempt is made to provide initial work on resolving the counselor-coordinator controversy. Coordinating skills include caseload management, case management, and self management. Counselors need to view the caseload as a whole, work within its parts, and use themselves and other resources to accomplish the task. Development of all skills allows optimal functioning and service to the client. Examples of how coordination skills can be broken down into a technology that is effective and humane are given. Pilot projects attempting to provide the technology are mentioned as is the need for experimentation and implementation in the area af coordination skills. No single skill has priority as each is necessary and facilitates clients’ efforts in reaching their goals.

Production And Consumption

There is a multitude of experimentation, pilot and demonstration projects across Europe aiming to reconfigure energy consumption and production systems. Demo-projects and experiments have been recognized as important instruments to implement sustainability transitions in practice. Transition scholars have done much to clarify how we should understand experiments and pilot projects, focusing on involved actors, what is learned, and how the knowledge is used. In this paper we study two pilot project and discuss their qualities as sites that bundle new systemic properties, technologies, regulations, business models and user practices in new ways. We discuss these cases as new configurations with promising transformative implications. The two cases studied are a Norwegian and an Austrian smart grid demonstration. Both cases represent companies that have transformed their relation to and participation in the transport system as an outcome of pilot projects and experiments. The study analyses the complexity of factors influencing the effectiveness and success of these reconfigurations in providing destabilization and change within until now relatively stable regimes.

This article is an investigation into the role of placemaking in the modern planning profession, with a focus on the evolution of placemaking, evaluation through the lens of a case study in Edmonton, AB, and analysis through three planning theories. It is argued that the ideas of placemaking have existed for much longer than the word itself. A brief background is provided detailing the development of placemaking. Examples of placemaking throughout history are discussed with a focus on the writings of Jane Jacobs. The Imagine Jasper Avenue and Experience Jasper Avenue pilot projects are explored, with a discussion of their placemaking elements. The history of Jasper Avenue as Edmonton’s main street and efforts to reimagine Jasper Avenue in the face of intense public scrutiny are investigated. Finally, placemaking is analysed through three planning theories: Planning as Design, the theories of Michel Foucault, and Semiotics. The major themes of these theories and their application to both placemaking and the case study are examined.
