WAYS OF IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF MASSIVE EVALUATION OF REAL ESTATE IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA
Get PDFThis article focuses on researching the methodological development of real estate assessment in the Republic of Moldova, addressing the significant financial losses incurred by local public administrations due to the absence of an updated, appropriate, and transparent assessment system for taxation purposes. The fundamental hypothesis posits that enhancing the methodological and institutional framework of mass appraisal will lead to a progressive evolution of the real estate market relations and the stable development of efficient and equitable tax systems in Moldova. The study aims to identify and propose solutions to current issues in the national mass appraisal system, primarily related to the unavailability of market data and the use of outdated methodologies. Employing scientific techniques such as analysis, deduction, induction, grouping, comparison, analogy, scientific abstraction, synthesis, and statistical methods, the author assess the effectiveness of proposed methodological developments by comparing quality indicators of old assessment models with those developed based on the proposed methodologies. The results obtained support the idea of creating, implementing, and sustaining a mass appraisal system as a foundational element for a fair real estate taxation system, fostering regional development, and supporting economic activities related to the real estate market in the Republic of Moldova
THE IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL LIABILITIES ON DECISION-MAKING OF DIFFERENT TYPES
Get PDFThe most relevant research topics are guided by the overall study of the relationships between obtaining accounting information related to financial liabilities and their impact on users' decision-making process. The selective and unequivocal interpretation of the normative provisions as well as the institutional limitations regarding the volume and structure of accounting information regarding financial liabilities were the motivational basis of the research. The set of methods, techniques and research procedures of the field focuses on the targeted application of theoretical model cases of specific situations related to the generation and use of accounting information regarding financial liabilities, as well as their impact. Among the most relevant proposals there can be identified the qualitative development of normative framework in the part of the structure and volume of accounting information related to financial liabilities with relevance to users and the activity of the entity, as well as the development of non-regulated notes as a component part of the set of financial statements in which there is a reasoned description from all points of view of the situation regarding the entity's financial liabilities.

RESEARCHING PUBLIC SATISFACTION IN SOCIAL GOVERNANCE THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE FUZZY COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION METHOD
Get PDFSocial governance is an essential component of China's governance system and is the cornerstone of "Governance of China." In the new era, the Communist Party of China adopts the core value pursuit of "People-centered" as the rational choice for governing the country. "People-centered" is also the core concept of social governance in China. As participants in social governance, the satisfaction of the public is an important evaluation indicator for measuring the effectiveness of social governance. How to scientifically quantify and evaluate the satisfaction with social governance has always been a key issue in evaluating the effectiveness of social governance. This study constructs a scientific evaluation indicator system and uses the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to make a scientific evaluation of public satisfaction with social governance. This is also beneficial for carrying out other social governance work based on the evaluation results, thereby improving governance effectiveness
THE NEXUS BETWEEN THE ABSENCE OF A SOCIAL COMPACT, SOCIETAL POLARIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON SERVICE DELIVERY IN SOUTH AFRICAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Get PDFSouth Africa, a nation marked by profound disparities, is deeply entrenched in the painful historical legacies of its past. The discourse on socio-economic transformation has been ongoing since the African National Congress (ANC) came into power in 1994, aiming to foster a social compact and reconcile the polarized society. Despite these efforts, black communities continue to face discrimination in service delivery. Daily reports of protests in impoverished, predominantly black communities emphasize the absence of a social compact in South Africa. This paper, primarily conceptual in nature and relying on secondary data, seeks to explore the nexus between the absence of a social compact, societal polarization, and its impact on service delivery in South African local government. It contends that addressing issues of poor service delivery, public protests and anti-government sentiment must start with acknowledging the absence of a social compact. This recognition should serve as the foundation for pursuing new paradigms for effective development and good governance practices at the local government level. The findings of this study suggest that the absence of a social compact is not only a result of human actions but also reflects structural issues. This absence exacerbates societal divisions, erodes trust in governance structures and hampers collaborative efforts crucial for effective service provision. Furthermore, societal polarization compounds challenges related to resource allocation and perpetuates disparities in service access, particularly impacting marginalized communities. In conclusion, the paper proposes policy recommendations aimed at fostering social cohesion, addressing structural inequalities, and promoting inclusive governance practices
