Cultural cities, urban economic growth, and regional development: The role of creativity and cosmopolitan identity

AbstractCultural heritage has been recognized as fundamental for local development. In particular, some recent works have highlighted the role of sophisticated transmission channels of this relationship, that is local creativity and cosmopolitan identity. Following a territorial perspective, the present work aims at combining the two approaches, in the belief that there could be a synergic interplay between creativity and cosmopolitan identity, reinforcing their individual effects. Accordingly, an original conceptual and operational taxonomy characterizing cultural cities is put forward. The contribution of the different identified patterns to urban and regional growth is assessed, as well as their capacity to valorize cultural participation.

The Islamic Concept of Happiness: Psychological Analysis

The article is devoted to the study of the Islamic concept of happiness from the standpoint of psychological science. Two approaches to the understanding of happiness, originating in Antiquity, are considered: hedonistic and eudemonistic; the cultural specifi city of happiness is investigated through the prism of ethnocultural values. It outlines the views on psychological health and well-being in Islam, as well as the views on social and individual predictors of happiness of medieval and modern Muslim scholars. The author concludes that the concept of happiness and the idea of it has its own specifi city in diff erent cultures. The concept of happiness among Muslims is directly related to their religious values and worldview, as well as to the peculiarities of ethnic culture. Since Muslim communities are collectivist, the happiness of an individual is seen as closely related to the public good. For a Muslim, the path to happiness is associated with improving his character and the formation of moral values and behavior. Modern Psychology and Psychotherapy are developing the ideas about moral psychology and the ways of its formation as the basis for the psychological wellbeing of an individual.

Impacts of a health crisis on music festivals: a qualitative approach

PurposeThis research explores the consequences of a health crisis provoked by a pandemic scenario on music festival impacts considered by the stakeholders involved. The purpose of this paper is to identify the perceptions from the stakeholders' point of view (host community, public and private sector) and to identify the impacts generated before and after a health crisis regarding the celebration of a festival.Design/methodology/approachThe study offers a holistic insight into impact research by music festivals. The methodology implemented is based on qualitative techniques. By conducting 20 in-depth interviews with essential stakeholders, it is possible to determine their perceptions of the impact of the event and the effects of a health crisis.FindingsThe results allow detecting a gap between internal and external stakeholders due to poor communication and planning of the event. The results show that a health crisis provokes negative impacts on the economic benefits of events' organisation. However, the cultural city's identity suffers an important damage that it is difficult to overcome. The community and visitors are the stakeholders that suffer a detrimental impact on their experience when attending the festival, considering the security measures. Moreover, results allow us to identify practical implications for event management and planning in a health crisis scenario.Originality/valueThe most important contribution of this research is the theoretical model proposed to analyse stakeholders' perception of the event celebration in a context of a health crisis. The model also considers different moments of the social exchange. The theoretical approaches considered theory of social exchange (SET) and Visitor, Industry, Community and Environment (VICE) models allow analysing the stakeholder's perception of a case study of a music festival (Viña Rock Festival, Spain). The emerging and central role of the cooperation between stakeholders constitutes another notable contribution to the literature.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

Festival decorations are crucial indicators of the carnivalesque atmosphere of events as they capture celebratory experiences in tangible forms. Due to the strong presence of rainbow colors, LGBT+ Pride events provide fertile grounds for the discussion of decorative materials. While the acclaimed symbol of the rainbow is an expression of the LGBT+ community and their campaign for equality, the color combination is contested due to commercializing and appropriating forces. Next to altered color compositions highlighting particular identities and communities within the LGBT+ spectrum, explorations for alternative decorative patterns and visual expressions inform contemporary celebrations of equality during LGBT+ Pride events. In this article, I begin with a conceptual discussion of the carnivalesque notion, its inherent contradictions of subversion and discipline, and their expression in the form of decorative materials. Through an ethnographic study of the commemorative LGBT50 celebration in the context of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, I argue that alternative decorative approaches not only aesthetically influence the event but enable the reclaiming of the subversive atmospheres produced by the carnivalesque environment. Countering disciplining mechanisms of brand-like rainbow strategies, I outline how artistic practices negotiate innovative approaches to frame LGBT+ communities, identities, and celebrations.

История развития китайского города Харбин в системе межмуниципального сотрудничества с Россией (1993 г. по настоящее время)

The aim of this article is to consider the specifics of the regional development of the northeastern city Harbin in the system of partnership, sister city inter-municipal cooperation with Russian cities Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, Krasnodar and Murmansk. Special attention is also paid to the prospects and opportunities in maintaining intermunicipal cooperation between Harbin and the Russian cities. Chinese researchers (Zhang Xiujie, Ma Xiaohe, Yu Yabin, Du Lizhu, Yang Qingshan, Zhao Yichun, Yu Bingyan, Li Tuliang) consider the peculiarities of the economic, geographical, historical transformations of Harbin, a northeastern city in China. Until now, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the modern interaction between Harbin and the Russian cities Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, Krasnodar and Murmansk in Russian and Chinese research. Plans for regional transformations in the province of Heilongjiang at the beginning of the 21st century. aim to revive the old industrial bases in Northeast China. The key role in this process belongs to Harbin, a historical and cultural city, the northeastern center of the economy, politics, trade, culture, science and technology; a future big data storage and processing center in North China; the city of an innovative model of ecological construction of the digital economy of the northeast of China. The history of Harbin’s regional development shows this city is a space of historical integration of cultures of different countries, it is a famous historical city with a great cultural heritage and distinctive features of multiculturalism. In regional transformations, Harbin pays special attention to the inter-municipal interaction with foreign cities. After the normalization of Soviet- Chinese relations in 1985, practically the entire Northeast of the PRC played a leading role in restoring ties with Russian cities and regions. The modern development of Harbin in cooperation with the cities of the world is built on the basis of the implementation of the global project of the New Silk Road – the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative. The Chinese side is interested in moving the dialogue with Russian sister cities from humanitarian cooperation to multi-vector partnerships. Harbin attaches great importance to inter-municipal cooperation with foreign cities under the Chinese concept of “foreign affairs for the people”. The Russian cities Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, Murmansk, Krasnodar became Harbin’s sister cities; their cooperation since the early 1990s has developed in various directions. The experience of inter-municipal twinning, partnership cooperation accumulated over the past decades between Harbin and Khabarovsk, Yakutsk, Murmansk, and Krasnodar can serve as a basis for further interaction between the Chinese city Harbin and other Russian cities.

Evaluation and Scale Forecast of Underground Space Resources of Historical and Cultural Cities in China

Following economic growth in the past three decades, rapid urbanization has caused many pronounced issues, such as spatial scarcity and cultural discontinuity, in Chinese historical and cultural cities. In order to better deal with the diversification of underground space resources, data and information, this study introduces a random forest algorithm and proposes a multi-layer information superposition method. According to the characteristics of different information, starting from qualitative and quantitative aspects, we explore the effective performance of the rational development of underground space resources. Taking Yangzhou City, China, as an example, this paper evaluates the suitability and calculates the development volume of urban underground space. The development capacity, potential value, and comprehensive quality of underground space resources are explored in an attempt to demonstrate the practicality and scientificity of the evaluation method for achieving the developmental goals of urban space reconstruction and historic preservation. On this basis, an underground space scale forecast is carried out to provide decision support for relevant planners, managers, and construction personnel that is conducive to the orderly development of urban space, alleviation of increasing human–land conflicts, and coordination of the protection and development of underground space resources in historical and cultural cities, ultimately promoting sustainable development of cities.

Social Identity Negotiation in Online Communication: Understanding the Formation of Violent Normalization as Means to Deal with Violent Crimes in Online Facebook Group ‘Info Cegatan Jogja’

In the last decade, street violence in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) has increased immensely. Whether intentional or organized, violence has become news, increasingly appearing on various media and social platforms. This phenomenon contradicts the predicate of Yogyakarta as a city of students and a city of culture. Through such background, this study encourages investigating the socio-cultural contexts of such increasing violence in a city, promoting its branding as a non-violence city. This study analyses one of the largest online social platforms in Yogyakarta, called ‘Info Cegatan Jogja’ (ICJ). Applying an ethnographic approach, quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed using the sentiment analysis method. The study finds that the high rate of violence is not solely the result of street violence itself, but is also supported by the act of justifying violence with the general idea that the accurate way to deal with violence is through violence. In other words, society begins to assume that if it is treated as a curative measure, then violence is accepted as something to be normalized. Keywords: Violence, Info Cegatan Jogja, social media, negotiation, violent normalization.

Formation and Development of Penitentiary Institutions in Yekaterinodar (Second Half of the 19th–Early 20th Centuries)

Introduction: the article is devoted to the historic background of the prison system in the Kuban and features of the prison institutions formation in Yekaterinodar – the center of the Kuban Oblast, formed in 1860. The article, based on the comprehension of historical experience and analysis of archival materials, shows the impact of the 1860– 1870 state-legal reforms on construction of new and enlargement of current prisons and studies the specifics of prisoner detention conditions. It reveals the role of the Yekaterinodar Military Prison Committee “Prisons Custody Society” in enhancement of Yekaterinodar’s penitentiary institutions: organization of places of detention and provision of the necessary detention regime; control over detainee’s welfare; improvement of medical care for prisoners, etc. Purpose: to reflect development features of penitentiary institutions in the Kuban as a whole and Yekaterinodar in particular. The methodological basis of the research consists of philosophical, general scientific and private scientific methods (dialectical, system-structural, historical-genetic, comparative, formal-legal, etc.). Discussion: based on a brief analysis of the works of N.I. Galkina, N.V. Slavinskii, M.K. Batchayeva, S.A. Lobova, etc., devoted to the issues under consideration, as well as the study of materials contained in the funds of the State Archive of Krasnodar Territory, the author presents chronological background of formation and development of the Kuban prison institutions. As a result of the conducted research, the researcher comes to the following conclusion: since Yekaterinodar acquired the status of a civil city in 1867, there was a sharp increase in out-of-town visitors, which led to a rise in the number of crimes and, accordingly, persons serving sentences in the form of imprisonment. It involvedthe expansion of existing prison facilities and construction of new ones, in particular, the Yekaterinodar regional prison in 1876. The establishment of the Yekaterinodar Military Prison ommittee “Prisons Custody Society” in 1867, which was in charge of the entire Kuban penitentiary system, helped achieve some success in prison guardianship within its competence. The development of guardianship in relation to prisoners should be considered one of the mechanisms that solved the problem of improving prisoners’ situation. This activity was financed by state and private charitable funds. The author also notes that the Kuban prisons addressed acute problems, characteristic, however, of the entire penitentiary system, such as insufficient funding of prison facilities, unsuitability of prison facilities, i.e. overcrowding, and harsh detention conditions.

The Interior Design of Public Library with Javanese Neo Vernacular Concept in Yogyakarta City

The existence of quality and adequate reading facilities is one of the many factors that can encourage people's interest in reading. Based on research at various Taman Baca Masyarakat (TBM) in Yogyakarta, it proves that the existence of reading facilities has a positive impact, including increasing interest in reading, empowering the community, being independent in terms of the economy, and others. Yogyakarta as a City of Students and City of Culture has various educational facilities ranging from elementary to tertiary levels. A large number of educational facilities, in particular, has increased the need for libraries as a place to look for references and as an alternative source of knowledge other than formal schools. The study aims to produce an educational and recreational library with modern packaging that considers elements of culture, tradition and local wisdom as the embodiment of Javanese Neo Vernacular concepts. The creative process in this creation uses a functional approach, an ergonomic approach, and a theme approach. The design implementation is translated through the Javanese Neo Vernacular concept which takes ideas from traditional Javanese architecture or more specifically the Joglo house. The elements in the Joglo house that are taken include the layout, site, and building elements that are tailored to the needs of the library. Design with traditional elements is a manifestation of the educational function of the library and modern elements are a means to attract visitors. The addition of exhibition space is an effort to make the library have a recreational function
