“…It is said to be effective if the goals or objectives are met as planned. A simple definition of effectiveness might be that a tool must achieve its objectives to be considered effective [32]. Effectiveness is a condition that indicates the success or achievement of a goal as measured by quality, quantity, and time as previously planned.…”

This study aimed to determine whether prohibiting the division of agricultural land into too small (less than 2 Ha) parts is still practical and relevant to society’s current situation. The literature used in this study was supported by data from Land Deed Making Officials (PPAT). According to the results, the policy is no longer effective in limiting the minimum agricultural land ownership and preventing agricultural land splitting. This policy is also no longer relevant because: first, the common area of agricultural land owned by farmers is less than 05 ha; second, many residents are forced to sell their agricultural land; and third, the prohibition encourages agricultural landowners to transfer land functions. Therefore, it is time for the government to reevaluate the minimum land ownership policy and the prohibition on breaking up agricultural land, considering the conditions and developments of community needs and the existing land area.

“…Integration in SEA refers to the incorporation of environmental, social and economic considerations and to the linking of SEA at critical points in the decision process, most notably at the beginning of the policymaking, programming or planning process and prior to final decisions (Table 1) (IAIA 2002;OECD 2006;Fischer 2007;Eales & Sheate 2011;Tetlow & Hanusch 2012). Involving people after this point makes participatory process less meaningful (e.g.…”

More specifically, we examine these three attributes in terms of learning for improved governance (White & Noble 2013), evidence of SEA having altered a proposed policy, program or plan (Eales & Sheate 2011;Axelsson et al 2012), and whether monitoring and evaluation plans are in place (Gachechiladze-Bozhesku 2012).…”

Kenya is among the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to formally require the assessment of public policies, plans and programs. National strategic environmental assessment (SEA) guidelines were finalized in 2012 to adapt and enhance SEA practice in the Kenyan context. The purpose of this research was to examine recent Kenyan SEA, with a particular emphasis on public participation, by developing and applying an analysis framework that both incorporates commonly accepted SEA principles and approaches and is cognizant of the national context in shaping SEA practice. Results reveal that a number of SEA practices are consistent with the framework in the nine cases considered, such as containing standard SEA components and developing monitoring plans. A requirement that each SEA must include educating the public about SEA is an innovative local adaptation. Results also show a number of practices that are still emerging, such as initiating SEA early and disseminating results to the participants. We conclude that SEA is still developing in Kenya, but processes for conducting it are slowly adapting to the Kenyan context. ' … re-shaped by empirical and evaluatory lessons from Kenyan's own SEA experience and context' (Mutui et al. 2013, p. 181). This parallels a previous call by Onyango and Schmidt (2007, p. 325

In the search for renewable energy sources, solar energy appears, among others, as a powerful alternative; mainly for those countries located at Earth's equatorial region. This is the case of a Fresnel device that uses solar radiation to warm-up the air; for instance, within saunas. Authors coined the term sustainable technological innovation to refer to a technological innovation in accordance to the principles of sustainability. The object of this research was comparing the sustainability of a Fresnel Lens Solar Concentration (FLSC) against the sustainability of other twelve alternatives to generate heat. This article assesses the sustainability of fourteen technological options for heat generation and transfer to saunas in the northwest region of Mexico where temperatures often reach above 45 C and where there is a greater potential for exploiting solar energy. Emergy accounting, economic analysis, and global warming potential are the three indicators considered in quantifying sustainability. Results show that infrared ceramic photovoltaic, infrared carbon photovoltaic and infrared metal photovoltaic are the most sustainable systems. The Fresnel device reached the fourth and tenth position, using electricity from photovoltaic and from grid respectively, among all fourteen assessed devices, respectively. Although Fresnel equipment does not release any global warming gases into the atmosphere, or even it demands low amount of nonrenewable resources, 1.40 and 4.47 E17 seJF/yr. it requires high economic investment, 20,800 and 79,600 USD/yr, for the implementation and operation phases, which decrease its sustainability performance compared to twelve other evaluated devices.
