Disasters have a negative impact on various aspects, including regional development. The impact of natural disasters can be in the form of material loss or loss of life. Indonesia has quite a large potential for natural disasters, because it is surrounded by several oceans and there are several mountains that are still active. Based on this background, this research aims to determine the impact of natural disasters on the development of rural areas. The data used in this research comes from Podes 2021 data and the 2022 and 2023 Developing Village Index. The method used in this research is multiple linear regression. The results of this research indicate that natural disasters have a negative impact on economic aspects and lead to village development. Of the three independent variables in this study, it is known that volcanic eruptions and drought (land) have the deepest significant negative impact, both 1 year after the event and 2 years after the event. Villages are areas that are very vulnerable to natural disasters, besides that development in rural areas tends to accelerate relatively slowly. For this reason, an extra role is needed from the government to carry out evacuations when a disaster occurs, and also carry out mitigation from the start in order to minimize the negative impacts caused. Handling natural disasters in rural areas can be carried out on a priority scale, so that people's basic needs can be met immediately.

The downstream program issued by the Indonesian government is not only for the mining sector, but also other sectors including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).In the midst of the potential for downstreaming, there are various challenges that are still emerging, both the impact of downstreaming on the economy which needs to be expanded, as well as challenges related to production factors, as well as regulations in terms of implementing green industry. With the implementation of this green industry, it is hoped that it can increase competitiveness with environmentally friendly production processes and results. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the influence of downstream policies for the MSME industry and the implementation of a green economy on national economic growth. The analysis technique used is SEM (Stuctural Equation Modeling) which is operated through the AMOS 24 application. The test results found that the economic downstream policy, apart from supporting economic growth, also provides added value and diversification of Indonesia's superior export products. The downstreaming of various commodities also supports the Green Economy in Indonesia. This industrial downstream policy is also an important foundation for advancing the Indonesian economy in making leaps in Indonesia's economic growth globally. These findings can support the next Indonesian government to continue the industrial downstream policy until Indonesia becomes a developed country.

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the important pillars of the country's economy. MSMEs have an important role in creating jobs, increasing economic growth, and improving community welfare. The competitiveness of MSMEs is vital for their success and for driving economic growth. To increase the competitiveness of MSMEs, the right strategy is needed. This strategy must be adapted to the characteristics of MSMEs, such as the business sector, target market, and competitive conditions. These research questions are: 1) What are the strategies for increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs?, and 2) What supporting factors can increase the competitiveness of MSMEs? The research method used is a narrative literature review of five references taken from the ScienceDirect database from 2020 to 2023 that discuss strategies for increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs. These five papers have a strong connection because they all discuss the relationship between innovation and the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The results of the narrative literature review show that thera are several strategies can be used to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs namely digitalization, product and service innovation, business process innovation, and marketing and sales innovation. Beyond these strategies, the studies emphasize the importance of several supporting factors, such as government support, access to financial resources, networking, and collaboration opportunities. The implication of this research is to contribute ideas to the government and owners of MSMEs in the form of a model increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs in the global market.

Using data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WBES), our analysis focuses on the effect of perceptions of political instability on private investment at the firm level in Africa. We apply econometric techniques to correct for biases inherent in the data, such as measurement errors, missing observations, and the endogeneity problem. We used time series cross-section analysis employing the two-stage least squares (2SLS) method. Our results show that political instability has a negative and significant impact on business investment, irrespective of location of the firms. However, this effect is insignificant and weak for small firms. Furthermore, we identify a significant impact of administrative constraints, regulatory constraints and infrastructure constraints on investment. These findings highlight the importance of Strengthening political stability in order to stimulate investment, especially in small towns. Putting in place incentives and programmes to encourage employee training can improve business productivity.

Research Purposes: This article aims to deepen the understanding of Kaizen culture in relation to the concept of human capital at the current middle-top managerial level. Research Methods: This research led to the choice of using a qualitative method approach, ethnography. Research Originality: This research is the first to be conducted, and is expected to contribute to the development of human capital theory at the managerial level of companies. Findings: From this Kaizen culture, they teach humans to make changes for the good in an efficient, processed manner and to make life goals more meaningful. To support the implementation of the Kaizen Strategy, we need standardization in the production process and work procedures in an organization, namely SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely). Implications: We can apply to Kaizen culture not only at the individual level but also on a large corporate scale such as manufacturing, this is because it makes everything better and more efficient over time. From this Kaizen culture, humans are also taught to make changes with goodness in an efficient, processed manner, and to make life goals more meaningful. There are 10 Kaizen principles that can be applied so that a person's life goals become more developed and meaningful, namely continuing to improve one's abilities; Leave Old Bad Habits behind; Proactive; Always Correct Yourself; Want to develop yourself in your own way; Willing to listen to other people's opinions; Can utilize gathering moments more effectively; Want to ask yourself; and Live Economically and Efficiently. Limitations: Kaizen culture using the SMART method cannot be short term, but takes the form of an accumulation of success in a long-term context.

The need of this study was to examine the moderating effects of attitude on the relationship between response efficacy and prevention intention of fire outbreaks in public markets. This research utilized quantitative research methods, surveying 384 participants consisting of traders and market management in the Dar es Salaam Region. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select respondents from 10 markets, and data analysis was conducted using a structural equation model. Findings show that attitudes moderate the relationship between perceived response efficacies towards prevention intention of fire outbreaks in public markets. The result shows that the effects of perceived response efficacy to attitudes (CR = 0.114, P = 0.035 and SRW = 0.480) and path leading from attitudes to prevention intention on outbreaks of fire in public markets was (CR = 0.2.653, P = 0.008 and SRW = 0.931). The study recommends that building attitudes on fire prevention should be a continuous process in public market in Tanzania.
