However, the IKLH's most dominant environmental concerns are to water quality degradation and plant cover. This research is centered on the environmental difficulties in Garut Regency, namely in Garut Kota's core, not only the rubbish that was spread after CFD activities ceased. For environmental issues to be handled, the government needs the public's help. In this study, Huraerah's notion of community involvement is applied. Description and qualitative technique are utilized in the study. As a consequence of this study, community engagement in Garut Kota's central business district is still very much needed but the most essential point is that community engagement in environmental protection is not only about how many people participate, but about protecting the environment itself.

District/ city regional governments need to seek equal investment and income with other District/ City regions to avoid disparity/ inequality. This study uses strategic management theory and good governance. The research method in this text uses qualitative methods. The Government of Kediri Regency develops its territory to be used as a place of investment by building Gumul Lima Junction Kediri Regency. This effort was carried out with the 2012 KPM (Investment Office) work program. In the work program there was management at KPM in the form of planning, organizing, actuating and controlling. KPM implements strategy management, one of the strategy management tools through SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats). So far, investors in SLG are still one investor, namely PT. Gumul Paradise Island. This is because it is difficult to get investors because it competes with Kediri City which is more strategically located. KPM in implementing strategic management uses SWOT analysis. Analysis is done by knowing the successes, failures, inhibiting factors, and supporting factors of the organization in carrying out its duties. After that, KPM gets a solution to the problems faced and can carry out the planning and development of work programs to face the challenges ahead. Establishing an atmosphere that is conducive to investing, investors need good and easy services in investing. This research was carried out in 2012, an interesting theme for further research on the development of investment in Kediri Regency.

Located in the CBD (Central Business District) of BSD and directly adjacent to agricultural land makes Agricultural Hub in Bumi Serpong Damai a connector between urban areas and agricultural land, which make benefit to the areas. AbstrakPemerintah memiliki gagasan untuk mengembangkan Kawasan Pertanian Modern di BSD (Bumi Serpong Damai) seluas 36 Ha yang dapat memberikan dukungan terhadap lahan pertanian seluas 700 Ha di sekitar kawasan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan wadah produsen kota. Pusat Integrasi Agrikultur memiliki potensi dirancang untuk mengurangi hambatan antara konsumen dan produsen yang biasanya berlangsung secara berjenjang dan panjang namun dengan adanya pusat ini dapat memutuskan rantai tersebut sehingga dapat menciptakan iklim yang berkelanjutan dan efisien. Serta dengan letaknya yang berada di tengah kota memberikan edukasi secara langsung bagi masyarakat kota mengenai apa itu pertanian serta pembaharuan dan pengembangan teknologi-teknologi pertanian. Pusat Integrasi Agrikultur di Bumi Serpong Damai beroperasi dengan beberapa program utama yang sifatnya melayani dan menyediakan semua  tahapan proses produksi pangan hingga sampai ke tangan konsumen. Dimulai dari produksi, proses, memasak hingga penjualan tersedia disini ditambah dengan adanya fasilitas riset dan kantor bagi start-up muda yang ingin masuk ke dalam dunia agrikultur juga tersedia di sini.

Many government websites and mobile content are inaccessible for people with vision, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted these disparities when health authority website information, critical in providing resources for curbing the spread of the virus, remained inaccessible for numerous disabled populations. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide comparatively universally accepted guidelines for website accessibility. We utilized these parameters to examine the number of countries with or without accessible health authority websites. The resulting data indicate a dearth of countries with websites accessible for persons with disabilities. Methods of information dissemination must take into consideration individuals with disabilities, particularly in times of global health crises.
