“…Quality policy wrote in the form of statements where the top management promises to serve the customers to the highest standard (Yoo, 2014). Quality goals provide canalization in which the services aimed to suit the customer needs on the basis of ISO/IEC 17025, and the quality plans put all actions in detail to accomplish the quality goals (Meng & Song, 2011;Moore, 2012;Stevens et.al., 2014;Eagles, 2014;& Plösch et.al., 2010). The high level of the quality policy was usually designed for a longer period of time and therefore wasn't frequently revised, five years or a longer period considered as normal (Steel et.al., 2004dan Maxim et.al., 2011.…”

The Quality Goals and Internal Audits are two important links in the quality management system. These two interrelated points are in many cases surprisingly not considered as they should be. Quality goals aren’t often subject to internal audits. Similarly with quality goals scarcely describe the improvement of internal audits as a tool to strengthen the quality management system. The fact, recent audit findings found no more than 11 out of 165 findings in 18 accredited calibration laboratories operated on the basis of ISO/IEC 17025 that relates to quality goals. This paper proves no strong correlation between quality goals and internal audit statistically. The importan thing for the improvement of quality goals – internal audits relationship is giving more clarification to clause 4.10 Improvements and add internal audit-based items on the quality goals.

Effective management of protected areas relies on good governance. An assessment was undertaken using the standards provided by the United Nations Development Programme's characteristics of good governance for sustainable development as a starting point. Being able to assess governance based on indicators is essential for ongoing effective management through improving practice. Although indicators and evaluation frameworks are available, they do not offer protected area managers a quick, comprehensive measure of governance. We used a three-round Delphi method with a cohort of 33 managers and researchers from government and non-government organizations, and universities. This participatory research process established a set of 20 indicators addressing public participation, consensus orientation, strategic vision, responsiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, transparency, equity, and rule of law. Accompanying output measures were provided by management plans, annual reports, audits, and stakeholder engagement. The findings emphasize the contributions of management plans and annual reports in establishing evaluation requirements and providing a place where results are publicly available. Further participatory research to refine these indicators and apply them in a diversity of contexts is advocated.

“…This is a systematic, objective and quantitative method that extracts information from any content, such as newspapers, novels, policies and other media (Krippendorff, 2004;Neuendorf, 2002). It is commonly used by researchers (Berke, Spurlock, Hess, & Band, 2013;Eagles, Coburn, & Swartman, 2014;Fu & Tang, 2013;Lyles, Berke, & Smith, 2014;Norton, 2008;Ord oñez and Duinker, 2013) to characterise content and evaluate urban plans. The present study categorised evaluation indicators based on the DPSIR framework for a lowcarbon city, see Table 3.…”
