Administrative corruption is a complicated, multidimensional phenomenon created by many reasons resulting in many effects, which is exhibited in a variety of roles and aspects. Considering the importance of this subject in different countries, extensive studies have been carried out in recent years to identify and ascertain the causes of this dilemma. It should be asserted that economic factors are fundamental in any social structure driving people to wrong actions including bribery, embezzlement, and financial corruption. Administrative corruption is a social phenomenon facing all countries of the world. On this basis, various nations with different perception of corruption as an inevitable issue have decided to found their political and institutional structures in a way that least degrees of corruption are observed. International experience suggests that corruption is complex, hidden and diversified. Thus, combating it needs a continuous, lengthy, and difficult process. Corruption is rooted in various backgrounds, which can result in creation and expansion of administrative corruption in potential and actual forms. Using these factors, we can find more effective ways in reducing and eliminating administrative corruption. With regard to the importance of administrative corruption, this paper aimed at exploring how and why administrative corruption exists.

Cultural consumption is a common method for identity formation and self-representation. In cultural consumption, people use all types of valuable goods and symbols, not for their financial value but for their cultural value, to create an ideal image of their self in other people’s minds. Consequences and results of consuming artistic and cultural goods constantly affect their consumption level. If the results are somehow positive, they will bring about more and better consumption of these goods and if there have been negative consequences of consuming these goods. The consumption level of these will decrease automatically in the near future and consequently the society will not benefit. Therefore, current study’s laid out in order to identify factors and points that are related to cultural consumption and security sense. This is a quantitative study and in applied science, and from the viewpoint of design it is a correlational-descriptive study in which using Pearson correlation coefficient, the relation between cultural goods consumption and sense of security is investigated. Statistical population of this study consists of 5100 Islamic Azad University students. Simple random sampling and Cochran formula were used and 378 questionnaires were distributed among the students. In this study effect of literary goods, musical goods, cinematic goods, gender and education indices of Azadshahr are investigated. Results show that there’s a significant relationship between literary goods consumption and sense of security. There’s no significant relationship between musical goods consumption and sense of security, i.e. the aforementioned variables are not empirically supported hence we can assert that the hypothesis is not supported. There’s a significant relationship between the cost of cinematic goods and security sense. There’s a significant relationship between cultural goods consumption and security sense. There’s a significant relationship between gender and cultural consumption. There’s a significant relationship between education and cultural consumption. In the last part of our analysis, we investigated the multifold relations between variables. Coefficient of determination is r2=0.404.

Urban tourism is tourism that takes place in towns and cities where the historic heritage is not the main attraction, even though the settlement may have some buildings pre-dating the industrial revolution. Urban tourism includes a wide range of activities and experiences from sightseeing, visiting cultural attractions (e.g. art galleries, concerts, opera, shows, museums etc), attending special events, leisure shopping, eating out and drinking, meeting people (e.g. friends and relatives), dancing and so on. Different visitors will select different combinations of these activities. Business tourism is another equally important element of urban tourism. These activities are mainly based on manmade resources, facilities that are used for recreation by urban residents as well tourists. Because of this difficulty of separating leisure use from tourist use, there has been relatively little research on urban tourism, although much policy and planning effort has been put into promoting and developing urban tourism in recent years. This has been because many urban planners and politicians have perceived the development of tourism to be a mechanism for the regeneration of declining inner city areas. Both cultural policy and tourism development (with its associated job creation potential) have been used as tools to solve some of these urban development problems. So, once again, tourism policy must be seen in the context of other social and economic problems and policies. This chapter will start by identifying the urban tourist (as far as current research allows) and their motivation and behavior. The paper discusses the spatial location of that tourist activity (as it differs from the tourist-historic city). This will be put in the context of patterns of urban change since 1990; the impacts of tourism and the policies for urban tourism will also be described.

One of the main challenges facing project managers is the evaluation of project progress and its earned value as well as the estimation of cost and time in project completion. In this paper, we attempt to develop a method which is based on confidence limits. The proposed method is of two approaches which distinguish the risks of activities implementation and the critical path in determination of confidence interval for completion cost and time. The above approach has applied a p-factor for weight determination in confidence intervals. In the final part, we will discuss the ways of applying these proposed methods and their importance with an example and also demonstrate the superiority of the above methods over the unmodified ones in a confidence interval.

In Indonesia, currently, public awareness on patent rights is very low. This can be seen from the low number of patent applications in Indonesia. In fact, Indonesia already has a regulation on patent which provides legal protection to inventors of technology. Data from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights the Ministry of Law and Human Rights have revealed the number of foreign patents filed in Indonesia in 2012 has reached 6,212 applications. This indicates current domestic market, particularly technologicalproducts, is practically “monopolized” by foreign players. TRIPs aim at protecting and enforcing law on intellectual property right to encourage the innovation, transfer, and deployment of technology, the achievement of mutual benefits for technology creators and users, by ways that create social and economic wellbeing and balance between rights and obligations. Creations and innovations in technology of a country bring prosperity and economic development for the community. With the patent right, the creations and innovations in technology of a country bring prosperity and economic development for the community. This study tends to identify the low level of Indonesian awareness to act in patent's registration. The methodology used is this study is document analysis. Reviewing relevant documents pertaining to the questions rose in the study. The results show that patent's law is not yet properly functioning as refer to a tool of economic development. The results in line with the fact that patent's right in Indonesian yet purposed by government to only normative and fulfillment of ratification of TRIPS Agreement.
