PERANCANGAN SISTEM PENGUKURAN KINERJA MANAJEMEN DENGAN KONSEP STRATEGY MAPS DAN BALANCED SCORECARD PADA KANTOR LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DAERAH KABUPATEN NGANJUK

The purpose of this research is to design the strategy maps balanced scorecard concept in the Regional Environmental Office Nganjuk. Concept Strategy Maps is a picture that connects between the factors that exist in an organization's critical succes factors and describe strategies, goals and measurements. While the Balanced Scorecard consists of two words, namely the Balanced (balanced) and the scorecard (scorecard). Results The strategy used in the Office of the Regional Environmental Nganjuk is focused strategies that focus on the specific purpose of serving the community Nganjuk in terms of environmental control functions. Strategy Maps in the concept of Balanced Scorecard on Local Environmental Office Nganjuk as follows: a. Customer Perspectives include: Information Services water quality status, the status of ambient air quality, Public Complaints, Land Damage Due Biomass Production. b. Internal Business Process Perspective: Giving recommendation of UKL - UPL, water quality management and the establishment of classes in the spring, licensing and management location B-3 waste collection and disposal of wastewater into waterways, water quality in water resources, waste management oversight B- 3. c. Learning and Growth perspective include: Improving the skills and competence of the employees; , Increased professionalism. d. Financial perspective include: Budget Efficiency, Accountability Financial Accountability and Budget Absorption performance indicators such as level of use of budget savings, Decreased Total Audit Findings, Timeliness of Financial Statements, as well as the timeliness of budget absorption. Based on the research results can be put forward suggestions as follows suggestions: 1.Kepala Office was able to determine the problem institutions, so that decisions can be made by tepat.2. The Importance created a new organizational structure to support the implementation of strategy maps in the concept of the balanced scorecard for the achievement of agency objectives

Geoweb 2.0 for Participatory Urban Design: Affordances and Critical Success Factors

In this paper, we discuss the affordances of open-source Geoweb 2.0 platforms to support the participatory design of urban projects in real-world practices.We first introduce the two open-source platforms used in our study for testing purposes. Then, based on evidence from five different field studies we identify five affordances of these platforms: conversations on alternative urban projects, citizen consultation, design empowerment, design studio learning and design research. We elaborate on these in detail and identify a key set of success factors for the facilitation of better practices in the future

BCAS: A Web-enabled and GIS-based Decision Support System for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer

For decades, geographical variations in cancer rates have been observed but the precise determinants of such geographic differences in breast cancer development are unclear. Various statistical models have been proposed. Applications of these models, however, require that the data be assembled from a variety of sources, converted into the statistical models’ parameters and delivered effectively to researchers and policy makers. A web-enabled and GIS-based system can be developed to provide the needed functionality. This article overviews the conceptual web-enabled and GIS-based system (BCAS), illustrates the system’s use in diagnosing and treating breast cancer and examines the potential benefits and implications for breast cancer research and practice

Managing creative eco-innovation: Structuring outputs from eco-innovation projects

Increasing legislative pressures and consumer awareness of environmentally efficient products are causing businesses to look at Sustainable Product Design (SPD) as an opportunity to improve their products and processes. Business and academia have identified a need for strategic approaches to SPD that will result in ‘step-change’ improvements in the design of products and services. Eco-innovation aims to develop new products and processes which provide customer and business value but significantly decrease environmental impact. Eco-innovation considers environmental aspects of the product at early stages of the New Product Development process. The research presented in this paper looks at the use of eco-innovation tools and focuses on idea generation within ecoinnovation processes. Two novel tools were developed to help review the results from previously conducted eco-innovation workshops: the Standard Design Process Form and the Product Ideas Tree (PIT) diagram. This paper shows the development of these two tools and demonstrates their potential to assist in structuring and documenting ideas throughout the eco-innovation process. The paper discusses the benefits of using such documentation and how it may subsequently improve the management of eco innovation throughout the design process

Embedding sustainability in design education: the case of design project on systemic changes for sustainable businesses based on upcycling

Sustainable design education has become a prevalent practice in design education. Ramirez’s (2007) worldwide survey shows that the majority of the programmes have either compulsory or optional modules on sustainable design. In particular, projects in sustainable design studio modules often deal with social or environmental sustainability issues with little attention to the practice of design for systemic changes for sustainable businesses. This paper aims to provide one such case: design project on how to scale-up sustainable businesses based on upcycling through systemic changes. A half-day student design workshop was co-planned and organised by De Montfort University and the University of Liverpool. Second-year undergraduate students in Industrial Design, University of Liverpool participated as part of Product Development 2 module. Throughout the workshop, participating students learned different approaches to sustainable design, production and consumption, challenges faced by upcycling-based businesses in the UK, and how to generate and develop ideas, concepts and system maps to resolve complex design problems involving multiple stakeholders
