Radical Solidarities in Punk and Queer Refusals of Safety and Inclusion Narratives in Planning

Recent call-outs against Ottawa punk venues have fueled public debates about safe space and the inclusivity of local music scenes. The Ottawa Music Strategy released in 2018 translated these debates into cultural development policy that links creative placemaking and safe space discourse. This article examines the civic response to activist call-outs by analyzing how the Ottawa Music Strategy integrates diversity and inclusion strategies into cultural policy, and how cultural policy and safe space policies intersect with cultural revitalization and economic development priorities in the Ottawa Official Plan. Punk counter-narratives developed through grounded ethnographic research in the Ottawa punk scene unsettle normative public safety narratives that frame punk spaces as unsafe. Place-based histories of anti-oppression tactics, logics, and traditions of punk space and activism contextualize alternative responses by local punk venues and promoters. Drawing upon literature in queer planning and queer geography and literature on intersections between radical queer and punk politics, spatialities, and identities, this article discusses punking planning in solidarity with queering planning through alternative community-based responses to issues of safety, inclusion, and participation.

Implementation of Teacher Work Culture Development Policy in Secondary Education in Banten Province

The main problem in this research is motivated by the existence of teacher development policies which tend not to work effectively. Even though the Provincial Government of Banten has issued Banten Governor Regulation Number 8 of 2014 concerning the Organization of the Teacher Work Culture Development Center (P2BKG). P2BKG tends not to be used effectively. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The results of the study revealed that the implementation of the policy for organizing the teacher work culture development center (P2BKG) had not been running effectively. The causative factors are: (1) the content of the policy which consists of: (a) the interests affected (interest affected) the implementation of the policy on the implementation of the teacher work culture development center; (b) the type of benefits in the implementation of the policy for organizing a teacher work culture development center; (c) the degree of change to be achieved (extent of change envision); (d) the location of decision making (site of decision making) for leadership in the implementation of the policy of implementing a teacher work culture development center; (e) implementing the program (program implementer) for organizing a teacher work culture development center; (f) the resources involved (resources committed) in the organization of work culture development centers. (2) the implementation environment (Context of Implementation) consists of: (a) the power, interests, and strategies of the actors involved; (b) institutional and regime characteristics; and (c) the level of compliance and response from employees (compliance and responsiveness) in the implementation of the teacher work culture development center. The strategy for implementing the policy for implementing a teacher work culture development center (P2BKG) in improving the quality of teachers and education staff, namely: (a) increasing professional resources by optimizing the availability of buildings and facilities to make it easier for teachers to implement programs to improve the quality of teachers and education staff held at the central development of teacher work culture; (b) optimizing professional resources by building a strong organizational structure supported by a shared commitment to implementing teacher quality improvement programs held at the teacher work culture development center. The two alternative strategies can be implemented in government policies based on the two dimensions of Grindle's theory, namely the content of policy and the context of implementation.

Kesadaran Hukum Masyarakat Terhadap Hukum Di Area Publik Kota Medan Dalam Kehidupan Sehari-Hari

Public legal awareness in daily life in Indonesia, especially in Medan, still has serious problems. The facts and reality about the increasing number of law violations and deviant actions that are happening are actually happening right before our eyes. These illegal acts and deviant behavior occur not only in certain locations in almost all daily life, especially in big cities. The research used is a combination of a normative juridical approach and a qualitative empirical juridical approach. The purpose of this normative juridical research is to analyze the concept of legal and regulatory concepts that are closely related to the subject matter. The empirical juridical approach is used to see the law as a pattern of community behavior and is seen as a social force in the implementation of legal compliance carried out by people in the city of Medan. The type of data used in this research is primary data obtained through field studies (field research). Research results Public awareness of the law is still weak, it is still finding violations of the law in markets, roads, sidewalks, the environment and public facilities in Medan. Public legal awareness needs to be increased by implementing a legal culture development policy by the government so that compliance with the law can increase

Detecting Factors Effective in Knowledge Sharing Model Among Educational Staff

One of the effective organs in implementing economic, social and cultural development policies in each country is the Ministry of Education, which trains specialized and experienced manpower as the basis for the comprehensive development of countries, production of knowledge and research knowledge, and the provision of specialized services by universities and higher education centers. Accordingly, it facilitates sharing knowledge and identifying factors affecting it in the education organization, especially among employees who are the most important elements in any organization. Because it can create an atmosphere full of trust and interaction, the employees can share their knowledge and experiences with each other; hence, it can be an important strength for the education organization as well as society. In this regard, the present study aimed to identify the factors affecting the knowledge sharing model in individual, organizational, environmental, and extra-environmental dimensions among educational staff. The study revealed that the main individual dimension includes enjoyment of knowledge sharing, organizational commitment, specific organizational knowledge, trust, motivation, value of knowledge, and individual and group interactions. Organizational dimension also encompasses organizational culture, documentation development, in-house planning and organizational rewards. The environmental dimension includes technical knowledge, information technology context, knowledge memory upgrading, and economic and social factors. The trans-environmental dimension consists of political and legal factors and international interactions. This descriptive-analytical research used a library technique.

Ranking of Heritage Building Conversion Alternatives by Applying BIM and MCDM: A Case of Sapieha Palace in Vilnius

A balance (symmetry) between socio-cultural and socio-economic benefits as a part of the economic, social, and cultural development policy of each city and country should be assured when converting built heritage. To anticipate building conversion priorities and opportunities, modern technologies can be employed. However, currently the activity of reconstruction of heritage buildings is part of the construction domain wherein modern digital technologies have been the least ever applied. Therefore, photogrammetry and the 3D modeling of existing heritage buildings was suggested. A case study of Sapieha Palace, built in the Baroque style in 1689–1691 in Vilnius, Lithuania was explored in this research. The applied technologies and software (Agisoft Photoscan, Autodesk ReCap and Autodesk Revit) allowed for the creation of a high quality and accurate model involving both the textured exterior of the building and the interior layout. In addition, the valuable features of a building were identified and marked in a three-dimensional digital model. Based on the model, the authors formulated possible conversion alternatives of the building and identified the associated decision-making criteria, as well as determined their relative significance by an expert survey method. The authors suggested the application of the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method under uncertainty, namely the rough weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS), for ranking alternatives according to multiple criteria. Therefore, the suggested integration of modern digital technologies and decision-making models helps to assure the rational conversion decision of built cultural heritage based on high accuracy data as well as contributing to the sustainable development of engineering processes.

Strengthening Village Culture Literacy in the National Development

Cultural literacy is needed as an element of development in development administration. Values in culture, especially village communities have long been a factor forming social structures in the village and are able to play a role in maintaining the preservation of environmental ecosystems. However, cultural problems in the village have long existed before the government's cultural development policies were implemented. The purpose of this paper provides a broader space to translate village culture to the lowest level into the development process because villages in the context of modernization have a vulnerability to traditions that have been carried out for generations. The research uses library research. The results of the discussion show that communication and interaction within the family contribute to strengthening local language culture and habits that are taught from generation to next generation. Culture formed by families is able to filter out social change. In addition, the diversity of cultures in the village has become a unique opportunity for the consistency of cultural development with a tolerance base amid the swift capitalism / modernization that has a universal cultural impact. Thus, these two aspects are steps in the people center development to be considered in cultural development in the village.

Paisajes prehispánicos intersticiales: Naturaleza urbana y patrimonio arqueoastronómico en Ñaña, Lima

El propósito de esta investigación es analizar el paisaje y el patrimonio arqueoastronómico de Ñaña, en Lurigancho-Chosica, que sobrevive en los intersticios de la periferia urbana contemporánea de Lima Metropolitana. A pesar del abandono estatal y el crecimiento urbano no regulado de su entorno, estos mantienen un enorme potencial, aún poco aprovechado. La zona arqueológica Unión-Ñaña estuvo habitada desde tiempos prehispánicos por especialistas en la observación de fenómenos celestes llamados yañac, ligados al culto al nevado Pariacaca, el apu más importante de los Andes centrales del Perú, según el mítico Manuscrito de Huarochirí del siglo XVI. Por lo tanto, el estudio de la relación entre paisaje y alineamientos astronómicos (un aspecto clave de la cosmovisión andina) formó parte fundamental de la presente investigación, que también tiene el objetivo de profundizar en el entendimiento de la función primigenia y el potencial a futuro de estos parajes milenarios vinculados al Qhapaq Ñan del Valle del Rímac. El empleo de un enfoque multidisciplinario de investigación, que ahonde en estos hallazgos y sirva como base para el futuro desarrollo ambiental y cultural de la zona de estudio, surge como variable a evaluarse. Los resultados mostrados son producto de un profuso trabajo de campo y mapeo del contexto utilizando software ARC GIS, Stellarium y SunCalc.

Innovations in cultural policy and development in Latin America

ABSTRACT This essay looks at two major tendencies in cultural policy recommendations in Latin America: (1) the economic contribution of arts, heritage and especially the cultural and creative industries; and (2) cultural rights, with a focus on inclusion, access, empowerment, and the integral development/well-being of citizens. The two tendencies, which are part of cultural development policies, are not easily integrated into an all-encompassing policy because they follow different logics and management strategies. Nevertheless, both of these tendencies, which emerged in the heyday of neoliberalism (the 1990s), continue to provide the major justifications for cultural funding, although the current economic crisis has led to budget cuts. After a review of cultural development policies, this essay examines innovative strategies to compensate for scarce funding, including those that seek to bridge both tendencies. The cases examined below correspond to discussions of cultural policies in Latin American forums with hundreds of policy-makers and analysts over the past 20-plus years.

National education ideology as the orientation of the school culture development policy at SMA N 1 and SMA N 3 Yogyakarta

This study aimed at describing the national education ideology as the orientation of the school culture development policy at SMA N 1 and SMAN 3 Yogyakarta. This research employed the qualitative approach through ethnography method. The subjects of the research were the school community. The object was the implementation of Pancasila on the development of the school culture. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using ethnography analysis as suggested by Spradley and they were validated by data triangulation and member checks. The results show that the national education ideology as the orientation of the school culture development is understood: (1) as an open ideology; (2) implemented on the basis value; instrumental values; the value of practices in the school culture; (3) The school culture in SMA N 1 and SMA N 3 is the implementation and contextualization of the values of Pancasila, along with the uniqueness of SMA N 1 with its “Teladan” icon which represents the religious morality and intellectual, as well as at SMA N 3 with its “Padmanaba” icon representing noble behavior. (4) Both schools have developed the school culture, namely: religious morality, social-culture, intellectual, and environment/management/leadership.

The ‘actually existing’ cultural policy and culture-led strategies of rural places and small towns

Questions regarding the relevance of culture-based development strategies are even more relevant to ask when such strategies are applied to rural places and small towns. In urban contexts, the number of citizens and the volume and variety of the cultural sector, other industries and services are important success criteria. In small Norwegian rural municipalities, these factors are even more critical because the Norwegian rural context is characterized by low population density and low variety and volume in industries and services. Rural places and small towns are, to a large extent, neglected in the culture-led development studies, and likewise, culture is largely neglected in rural development studies. A degree of attention is given to the increasing commodification of rural places and the economic sustainability and cultural influence of cultural and creative industries in rural areas but less to the construction of cultural development policies. In this study, the emergence of cultural policy and culture-led strategies in four small rural communities in southern Norway is analyzed in a topological perspective on mobility, scale and the significance of local history and embeddedness. The primary findings are that although policy construction is influenced by the flow of neo-liberal consumer-based cultural policies, it appears that the cultural policies of small rural communities are more embedded in heritage and tradition based on ideas of participation, mobilization and social coherence.

Building the dream in a theatre of peace: Community arts management and the position of the practitioner in Northern Ireland

Abstract This article addresses the practice of community drama as an aspect of conflict transformation in Northern Ireland since the beginning of the peace process established by the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, particularly examining the tensions between public policy, arts management, and the experiences of practitioners and participants. The key focus will be an analysis of the ways in which organizational contexts have enhanced or restricted the potential for critically reflective practice. As has been discussed in a previous article by M. Jennings and A. Baldwin, the prioritization within cultural development organizations of adhering to ‘top-down’ funding agendas and evaluation criteria has neglected consideration of the real challenges faced and the achievements attained by facilitators and participants within the context of specific projects. The complexity of the relationships between artists, cultural development organizations, funding bodies and the state have made it difficult for community artists to establish and transmit the values and significance of their own practice. The tensions between these stakeholders have undermined both the efficacy of community arts practice and the credibility of cultural development policy within contemporary Northern Ireland. The controversies, scepticism and even bomb attacks on the offices of the UK City of Culture company in Derry/Londonderry during the last two years indicate the risks of failure in these areas.

Creative Industries and Cultural Development — Still a Janus Face?

Since the 1970s, it has been possible to discuss cultural policy in terms of the discourses ‘art as industry’ and ‘cultural rights' (for a discussion of this history, see Gibson, 2001). ‘Creative industries' is the policy ‘buzz term’ of the moment. The ways in which the terms ‘creative industries' and ‘cultural rights' are understood in contemporary cultural policy encapsulate the ways in which the economic and humanistic benefits of creative practice have been articulated as existing in competition. I argue that it is counterproductive to understand these discourses as mutually exclusive. Are these discursive constructions — art as profit versus art as identity — constitutively oppositional? To pose this same question using the terms which frame contemporary policy debate, how do we negotiate between the (seemingly) competing logics of the creative industries and cultural development policy discourses?

Cultural policy in Singapore: negotiating economic and socio-cultural agendas

In this paper, I examine the role of cultural policy in a newly industrialised economy, which is at the same time a state with a short history and only nascent beginnings in nation-building and efforts to construct a distinctive cultural identity. Using Singapore as the site of analyses, develop an understanding of the intersection between the economic and socio-cultural agendas behind cultural development policies. I illustrate the hegemony of the economic, supported by the ideology and language of pragmatism and globalisation. At the same time, I explore the reception of and attempts to negotiate (and at times, contest) state policies by “cultural practitioners” – artists, dancers, playwrights, actors, directors and so forth, illustrating the disjuncture between state policies and practitioners' ideals. This may be cast as a conflict between social and cultural development priorities as envisaged by the practitioners as opposed to economic development priorities as embodied in the state’s cultural economic policies.

Of Culture, the Economy, Cultural Production, and Cultural Producers: An Orientation

The task of this orientation paper is to connect the explorations of cultural industries that are contained in the following papers to a concern with cultural development broadly defined in Canada’s opening economy. It addresses this task in Parts I and II by defining a series of connecting terms and reviewing the adequacy of the relevant literature. Part I outlines the nature of culture and cultural development, four models of cultural development, cultural development policies and programs, and cultural development and political realities. Part II discusses the economy, open and closed economies, and the likely socio-economic and socio-cultural implications of Canada’s opening economy. Part III considers the nature of the infrastructure which supports cultural industries in Canada. It then turns to provisions for education in the creative arts and the status of cultural workers.

Des villes en réseau, aux réseaux de villes. Nouvelles solidarités, nouveaux territoires et impact des télécommunications

As the opening of Europe approaches, France -and Europe itself-find themselves undergoing a general territorial repolarization, with new urban policies emerging, based on a network of "inter-town solidarity". This concept is the finit of an economic, social and cultural development policy wherein the elected representatives of a number of towns in a given area or region choose to work together in defining the specific and complementary characteristics each can bring to that region. To reach this definition of specialities and create "competence poles", to recognize complementary in order to harmonize the State's infrastructure investments and strengthen international functions as the Single European Market approaches, such a goal requires that the objective reality of this interdependence and solidarity be clearly stated and "quantified". If the flow of people is in this respect an invaluable yardstick, it is not, and must not be considered, the only indicator. The flows of telecommunications can not only confirm or invalidate certain favored links, but also, by qualitative analysis, give a clearer picture of the nature of these links (professional, administrative, private, etc), provided that quantitative and qualitative "source/destination" statistics are available offering greater detail than those currently furnished by flow measurement and collecting methods.
