“…In addition, the Swedish approach does not stipulate feedback structures with regard to the results of the identification and prioritisation or further development of the process and the interrelated SoS of CIP. This study illustrates that such absence of feedback affects the actors in the system, which in turn induces individual adaption and emergent system behaviour [11,61].…”

The protection of infrastructure that is critical to society’s functionality, survival and progression has gained significance because of its large-scale and interdependent nature. This complex system-of-system (SoS) imposes extensive requirements on governance efforts to foster critical infrastructure protection (CIP). This paper uses the kaleidoscope for integrative system analysis (KISA) to investigate a Swedish approach for CIP against power shortages, called Styrel. Based on multiple sources of evidence, such as documents with regard to the case, interviews and a survey with involved experts, the analysis focuses on the system of emergency planning and the usage of the resulting plan. The results deliver insights into the governance of the multi-level planning, including issues regarding policies, the management and operation of Styrel, and accelerating problems in the adaption, emergence and entropy of the SoS, during and between process iterations. Since this large-scale approach largely fails to involve the private sector to enhance the resilience of the society, this proceeding results in uncalculated consequences. In addition, the current design of the approach hampers transparency and evaluation, which poses obstacles to the cultivation of mutual trust, collective learning and a shared understanding as well as proper risk communication with the wider public.

“…Such blind spots in the design, execution and evolvement of the Swedish multi-level planning system challenge CIP and its governance [61]. Missing feedback, collaboration and knowledge are recurring issues, among others, which relate to staff changes at the actors.…”

“…In today's high-tech society, electricity is the most basic energy demand, without which all communication systems fail. Große and Olausson [26] believed that when electrical equipment is unavailable, an increasing number of disaster events, such as the interruption of financial transactions, blocked transportation, and failure to monitor security, would occur that would affect society. erefore, they called for strengthening the protection of energy infrastructure.…”

Critical types of infrastructure are provided by the state to maintain the people’s livelihood, ensure economic development, and systematic government operations. Given the development of ever more complicated critical infrastructure systems, increasing importance is being attached to the protection of the components of this infrastructure to reduce the risk of failure. Power facilities are one of the most important kinds of critical infrastructure. Developing an effective risk detection system to identify potential failure modes (FMs) of power supply equipment is crucial. This study seeks to improve upon prior approaches for risk assessment by proposing a hybrid risk-assessment model using the concepts of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM). The proposed model includes a cost-based factor for decision-makers. The subjectivity and uncertainty in FM assessment are adjusted through the rough number method. The original risk priority number (RPN) can be expanded by including the entropy weights in the risk index. Furthermore, to rank the risk priorities in a rational manner, a modified technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (modified TOPSIS) is adopted. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method were demonstrated by considering an example of a turbine steam engine in a nuclear power plant.

“…Planning, in essence, is the application of knowledge into action to influence the direction and speed of change in reaching shared objectives [1]. The success of development planning and its implementation depends on the active involvement of the public [2][3][4], feedback and criticism from the public [5,6], the parties involved [7][8][9][10], aspects of trust and justice in the substance of the plan [11], the roles of the government and the public in its various stages [12], the collaboration among institutions or parties [13][14][15], and the series of stages in the planning process itself [16]. Therefore, the drafting process of development planning in all sectors, including the national and regional agricultural sectors, must take notice of the existing political, technocratic, and participatory aspects and the top-down and bottom-up integrations [17].…”

A strategic issue in national development is the integration between national and regional planning. This research had the aims to: (1) analyse the consistency and integration between national and regional plans, (2) analyse the consistency of national and regional planning with the actual implementation, and (3) analyse the factors that influenced the inconsistencies of national and regional planning in the agricultural sectors. The research was carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Indramayu Regency, in West Java Province and South Lampung Regency in Lampung Province. The data were analysed using both content and consistency analyses and a comparative case study. The research results showed that: (1) the level of consistency between the planning documents from the MoA and those from Indramayu Regency reached 87.68% and 95.81%, when compared with those from South Lampung Regency; (2) in terms of the consistency between the documents and the actual implementation, South Lampung Regency had programs/activities which were more integrated with the MoA programs compared with Indramayu Regency; and (3) there were five main factors which caused inconsistencies: policies from the district heads and the parties involved, force majeure, the development priorities, the communication distortion, and support from the political parties. The central government (the MoA) and the Regional Agriculture Office must collaborate by making an electronic-based priority scale of development planning and by reinforcing the capacities of regional planners.
