“…There are two primary important categories: statistical and/or logical methods. For visualizing, it is possible to use combinations of the analytical data and cartographical maps, or to use the GIS and statistical and/or logical methods for describing, illustrating, reducing, summarizing and evaluating the data [32,33]. Based on the data, these methods allow us to draw inductive conclusions and separate the signal (the phenomenon of interest) from the noise (statistical fluctuations or subjective bias) in the data.…”

A formal village/neighbourhood planning process is typically focused on three planning levels (national, regional and local) and is usually linked with administrative units of the territory (state, region or municipality). The local planning level (village or neighbourhood) “pocket plan” is a development challenge for spatial planners. The small coastal village Tuja in Latvia was taken as a pilot territory for “pocket planning” due to the unique location; biodiversity and ecosystems; significant natural, cultural, economic and social values; specific interests; and the needs of the involved local society. All these factors create a dynamic flow of data and information. Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used as planning support systems. GISs for pocket plans must accommodate the special needs of communities in villages and neighbourhoods. Ensuring the availability of information in dynamic real time is an opportunity to build both community integration in specific environments and to understand the future plans of the territory. Access to a WEB-GIS (internet GIS) provides possibilities for every person with a mobile phone to use and update information. Static and statistical information is generally used for spatial planning. For pocket plans, the data and information flow has to be dynamic and has to interact with non-professional users. The special wishes and needs of every member of a community must be accommodated by a pocket plan for the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the surrounding territory. Small territory planning involves a very narrow circle of individuals or communities that identify spatial development needs for the future, which includes the socio-economic, cultural, historical, environmental and climate change scenarios. In order to assess the development opportunities and needs of such areas, the detection, accumulation and monitoring of reliable data is necessary. Methodically derived data (facts) provide objectivity and transparency. Currently, as information between the present and the past is able to circulate very fast, analysis of the current situation to forecast the future and show different constructed realities (scenarios) using a GIS is necessary. Therefore, to explore and determine a local needs-based and smart spatial planning approach, we must identify indicators that can be used for the short-term and long-term analysis of specific territories in coastal areas.

Many shared views of both scholars and practitioners reflect spatial planning as a place-creating process that must be understood from a multi-level perspective. Formal and informal planning modes have variations in planning practices in different countries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the interaction of formal and informal spatial planning in the frame of the spatial planning system in the Baltic Sea region. We were searching to highlight the involvement possibilities of territorial communities in the spatial planning process around the Baltic Sea region, focusing on coastal areas and their specific features in Latvia, Estonia, the Åland Islands of Finland, and Sweden. Involved experts expressed views based on a pre-developed model to identify how institutionalized formal spatial planning relates with informal interventions. This allowed the development and proposal of a model for coastal area spatial planning and implementation. We concluded that in the spatial planning approach, the governance works differently in different countries, and coastal area spatial planning differs from regular spatial planning. The information base is sufficient to initiate spatial planning at the municipal level, but municipalities should be more active, involving territorial communities in the planning, implementation, and control of municipal spatial planning, as this ensures a greater interest in the use of planning outcome.

“…Village funds have the meaning that the village has the authority to regulate and manage its household in accordance with the original and given authority, regarding matters relating to the role of the village government as a public service provider in the village and as a companion in the planning and implementation process of regional development involving the community at the village level. village (Damayanti & Syarifuddin, 2020;Pudzis et al, 2016;Saleh, 2016;Udjianto et al, 2021) Tondowolio Village is one of the villages in the Tanggetada District, Kolaka Regency which has received village funds from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). Tondowolio Village received a village fund budget in accordance with the Details of the Village Fund in Presidential Regulation Number 78 of 2019 concerning Details of the 2020 State Budget.…”

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of village funds in empowering rural communities in Tondowolio Village, Tanggetada District, Kolaka Regency. This study uses a descriptive method using qualitative data types, data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, data analysis is carried out by collecting all information, reducing data, data validity and drawing conclusions. The results of the research analysis show that the use of Village Funds for community empowerment is in accordance with its designation but is not yet maximized. It can be seen from the indicators in measuring effectiveness, namely the understanding of the program where the community's understanding is still minimal about village funds. The target of village funds is in accordance with the RKPDes which has been prepared by the village government and village communities, the timeliness is still not optimal because the implementation of village funds is adjusted to the disbursement of village funds. The achievement of the goals has not been fully achieved because the empowerment program is still limited to meeting needs and providing convenience for the community but there is no new economy created that provides a source of income for rural communities. As well as real changes, the existence of this village fund provides a good change for the village community and the village government.
