Trust is a key attribute of social cohesion that is a major phenomenon in social relationships. This research aims to trust levels in social relationships and understand how social relationships affect trust levels. This research uses the theory of social relationships as an understanding of the level of trust in modern organizations, the theory of trust based on three dimensions namely trust in information, motives, and competence. Statistical descriptive qualitative research method is used as an approach supported by Delphi analysis, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and TOPSIS (Technique for Others Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). In identifying factors in the social relationship between policy and community, nine social relationship factors were obtained, including Communication (A1); Trust (A2); Cultural (A3); Procedural Justice (A4); Problem-Solving (A5); Transparency (A6); Engagement (A7); Collaboration (A8); Empowerment (A9). On the one hand, in the context of relative importance, the weight value at the criteria level is trust in Information (C1) (19.8%); Trust in Motives (C2) (31.2%); Trust in Competence (C3) (49%). Based on the results of the 3D trust level-based mapping analysis on social relationships, of the nine alternatives there are no factors with complete level (level 5) and Ignorance (Level 1). Overall, there are two alternative social relationship factors with high trust level (level 4), namely Trust (A2) and Collaboration (A8). These findings suggest that social relationship factors, such as trust (A2) and Collaboration (A8), play an important role in increasing the trust value of institutions related to trust from the community.

This research aims to improve a methodic for evaluation of economy’s competitiveness through theoretical-methodological substantiation, forming and calculation of integral indices of innovative technological competitiveness across the regions of a country. The relevance and indispensability of reinforcement of economy’s competitiveness on innovative technological foundations are also substantiated. Available methodical approaches in economic literature and competitiveness rankings and indices used by leading international economic organizations, namely in innovations and high technology domains, are generalized. Authors’ methodic of calculation of integral index of economy’s innovative technological competitiveness is suggested. Integral indicators of provision of innovative technological activity with resources, innovative technological activity and efficiency of innovative technological activity across regions (on the example of Ukraine) are calculated for 2009-2018; conclusions regarding the preconditions, capacity and availability of tendencies of innovative technological activity in oblasts (regions) of the country are made. The paper explains that each of the components of innovative technological competitiveness of the country’s economy had almost equal input in forming of its integral index – provision with resources, capacity and efficiency of innovative technological activity. In the first place, it is an additional argument in favor of the model’s reliability, and in the second place, it brings into the fore the importance of public policy in terms of improvement of resources maintenance of innovative and technologically active companies, boosting of innovative technological activity and increasing of its efficiency and contribution to general economic growth of the country.

This paper examines the relationship between public policy and education management in Indonesia by looking at various indicators influencing the public policy and the education management. For education management, factors like education achievement at elementary & higher school, college enrolment, job market in both local and international levels and social development are observed. Public policy is studied through work force development, higher education, brain drain, public safety, constitutional convention, job approval, legislature and operation policies. To examine this association, a survey questionnaire is developed and presented on various respondents regarding public policy and education management. A sample of 327 respondents is empirically examined and it is observed that the effect of work force development on elementary school achievement was significant while the effect of brain drains, job approval and legislature were crucial for the presented indicators of education management. Further studies can be conducted while considering other aspects of both public policy and education.

Governments are the primary sources for public policy making but influenced groups participate indirectly and while they remain out of power, they put pressure on many decisions.
