Abstract

 
The comprehension of public issues is critical for the implementation of development processes. Constantly confronted with these concepts, national, regional, and local managers must be able to address critical issues impacting the affairs of the people, such as civil engagement, social impacts, and regional development. This research's primary objective is to assist local public sector administrators in prioritizing public issues and making decisions regarding local development. Based on the aforementioned literature, the present study seeks to address the following inquiry: “What is the most effective framework for discerning and ranking public issues in order to enhance decision-making in the realm of development concepts?”
The data collection phase was concluded by conducting interviews with authorities in the field of local development and employing a qualitative research design. The data that was gathered was subjected to theme analysis.
The findings indicate: After classifying 180 fundamental themes into ten organizing themes and three universal themes, a three-dimensional matrix was produced. The purpose of this matrix is to investigate and rank the general issues as executive tools. Social culture, education and training, health, the economy and means of subsistence, moral systems and tendencies, thought and vision systems, behavioral systems, individuals, and ultimately the software dimension of resources comprise the themes.
As a result of investigating the levels of local governance and gaining a deeper comprehension of rural development constraints, decision makers can reach more accurate conclusions. By utilizing a decentralized decision matrix system, decision makers at the local level are capable of comprehending and endeavoring to identify public issues, priorities, and ultimately constrained resources. A decentralized decision making process has been proposed in order to obtain a more effective method for identifying problems, comprehending their nature, analyzing the structure of society, investigating critical changes, and developing plans and actions.
