“…3. Local governments dominate environmental decentralization framework, and the central government does not understand the complete picture of local governments' environmental governance efforts (Yang et al, 2021). Through pollution source monitoring equipment, the central government can accurately obtain the emission data of heavy polluters and grasp the local environmental governance (Zhang et al, 2018).…”

Adequate government environmental supervision is the key to promoting green innovation which is an essential driver of green development. In environmental decentralization, an analysis of the mechanism of the inherent influence of central and local supervision on green innovation may prove to be of practical importance. The paper selects data from heavily polluting enterprises in A-shares in China from 2013 to 2019 using fixed-effects models, moderating effect models, heterogeneity tests, and other research methods for analysis. These results are: 1. Both central and local supervision can significantly facilitate green innovation in heavily polluting enterprises. Local supervision has a weaker promotion effect than central supervision. 2. The two environmental supervision approaches can work synergistically. Central supervision can enhance the effect of local supervision on enterprises’ green innovation. 3. An analysis of heterogeneity indicates that the two environmental supervision approaches significantly promote eastern heavy polluters engage into green innovation. However, they do not promote it significantly for non-eastern enterprises. In addition, the same regional heterogeneity exists in the positive moderating effect of central supervision. 4. Further research finds that both types of supervision induce high-quality substantive green innovation. Central supervision can further enhance the impact of local supervision on enterprises’ substantive green innovation. The paper provides empirical data references for establishing an environmental supervision path under collaboration by governments at different levels, and offers implications for achieving green innovation and optimizing pollution emission mechanisms in heavy polluters.

“…Central institutions can collect, integrate, and evaluate information from different institutions and departments, providing comprehensive intelligence support for decision-makers. This centralized and shared information helps to accurately evaluate emergency situations, make faster decisions and offer predict trends (Yang, Yan, Tian, Yu, Li, & Xia, 2021).…”

This paper comprehensively analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of centralization and decentralization patterns in emergency management. We examine their characteristics, challenges, and applicability to contribute insights for the development of effective emergency management systems. The paper also explores innovative ideas, including hybrid management patterns combining centralization and decentralization, and emphasizes community engagement and collaborative partnerships for information sharing and resource coordination. By offering a thorough analysis of both approaches and proposing innovative thoughts, this paper contributes to existing knowledge in emergency management, benefiting policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.

“…The concept of decentralization is helpful for efficient waste management by combining economic efficiency with the environment [15]. In addition, decentralization is needed to encourage lower-level governments (local governments) to compete and show the best performance in management, and granting authority to lower-level governments (local governments) also reduces investment from the Government in economic and environmental development [16] [17]. An essential element of Good Environmental Governance, according to [8], is the principle of subsidiarity.…”

River damage is often caused by human activities, one of which is massive domestic waste pollution in river flows. Using the Good Environmental Governance model, this study analyzes domestic waste management in Batang Arau, Padang City. This type of qualitative research with data analysis techniques Manual Data Analysis Procedure (MDAP). The results show that the domestic waste management of the Batang Arau City of Padang has not yet implemented the Good Environmental Governance model. Field data illustrates several pillars of Good Environmental Governance, such as low community participation, access to information on domestic waste management is not available, and Transparency and Accountability of domestic waste management in Batang Arau are constrained due to the difficulty of collecting domestic community data. Waste. Domestic waste processing in Padang City has not been decentralized and is still centralized. Environmental management institutions in Padang City have not been well integrated because there are still sectoral egos between institutions. The obstacle to managing Batang Arau domestic waste is that the Wastewater Treatment Plant in the city of Padang has not appropriately been facilitated in the city of Padang.
