MARKETING STRATEGY AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC USING SWOT ANALYSIS AT KIMOCHI EATERY GRESIK RESTORAN

Kimochi Eatery Gresik restaurant is an industry engaged in the culinary field that sells a variety of Japanese-style food and drinks located on Jl. Kalimantan No. 159 GKB, Gresik. This restaurant has been established since the beginning of 2015 and sells its flagship menu, namely taichan satay. The strategy implemented by Kimochi Eatery Restaurant for marketing its products is good, but since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, precisely in February, Kimochi Eatery Restaurant has experienced a decline in product sales, this can be caused by government policies that implement PPKM in the Java-Bali area, which limits people's mobility and requires restrictions on operating hours, therefore companies are required to plan better marketing strategies. This research was conducted to formulate a marketing strategy according to the company's internal and external conditions. Analysis of the internal environment and the external environment can be used as the main reference for improving marketing strategies. The approach used in this research is SWOT analysis. In the SWOT analysis, there are several matrices, namely IFE and EFE matrices, which are used to find the weighted score, IE Matrix, which is used to find the cell division of the company, and the SWOT matrix to formulate alternative strategies. From the resulting research, the IFE matrix scores 2,972 while the EFE matrix scores 2,986. From the weight of the score that has been obtained, the company can implement a strategy of hold and maintain.

The war and mobilization on Ottoman people during the Caucasus war and Indonesian Independence Day 1945-1949

This study is to find out the history of people's mobilization by the Ottoman Empire in the Caucasus war in 1914-1918 and its relation to how people's mobilization was carried out in the Indonesian War of Independence in 1945-1949. The method in this study uses a qualitative-exploratory method supported by the theory of war, the theory of nationalism, and the theory of Defense Management. The study results show similarities and differences between the mobilization of the Ottoman people in the Caucasus War and the mobilization of the Indonesian people in the War of Independence. Then it was found that the mobilization of the people carried out by the Ottoman Empire in the form of policies of the Empire's leaders and declarations of Muslim religious figures amounted to 2.87 million people out of 23 million population (12.39%) and in the mobilization of the Indonesian people during the War of Independence amounted to 37.76 million out of 75.53 million. The number of residents (50%) was carried out through speeches and orations from warrior figures by igniting the spirit to participate in the struggle to fight against the British and Dutch by prioritizing the high fighting spirit of nationalism simultaneously and universally throughout the territory of Indonesia.

Inflasi dan Mobilitas Masyarakat di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

This study aims to analyze the correlation between the inflation rate by expenditure group and the level of community mobility based on the location of visits in West Java during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used is the quantitative method through descriptive analysis and correlation analysis. This study uses secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Google Mobility Report. The results of this study explain that the total inflation rate has a strong correlation with people's mobility to the central location of the economy. Inflation of primary commodities found in the Food, Beverage, and Tobacco group and the Housing, Electricity, and Fuel group has a weak correlation with the level of community mobility. The results of this study can be used as a basis for policymakers in the context of controlling inflation and capturing phenomena that occur related to restrictions on mobility during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Time, temporality, and (im)mobility: Unpacking the temporal experiences among Chinese international students during the COVID‐19

AbstractFrom the perspective of migrant times/temporalities, this paper focuses on the temporal experiences among Chinese international students (CIS) who planned to enrol overseas in 2020 but instead chose to stay in China due to the COVID‐19. Specifically, it adopts 'sticky and suspended times' and 'asynchronous and precarious times' to investigate how they encounter a set of temporal disruptions at both everyday and life course levels while staying put in China. Particularly, the paper asks how CIS exercises agency to navigate through temporal dissonances and enhance their immobile state and capital accumulation. Critically, the paper develops a temporally sensitive framework to unpack the multiple kinds of temporalities CIS confront during the pandemic, further advancing studies on 'international student mobility' and 'time in migration'. Additionally, existing studies have largely focused on how time shapes people's mobility and this paper provides an empirical case on the potential of the temporal approach to understanding immobilities.

Regional differences in the epidemic shock on the local labor market and its spread

AbstractFirst, using the sequential linear panel data‐estimation model and maps, we demonstrate the relocation of job‐posting places, especially for part‐time jobs. We use data on the number of job postings at the public employment security office in Japan. These changes in the posting places are clearly observable in the retail trade for part‐ and full‐time jobs. In contrast, we do not find discernible relocation in the information‐services industry. The impact of the COVID‐19 shock varies by geographic location. However, if people's mobility rate, the number of infected people, or the declaration of the state of emergency are controlled for, the number of job postings differs among areas. Therefore, second, this study explores the factors that account for the differences in the number of job offers among areas. We find that industrial diversity increases the number of job postings for part‐ and full‐time jobs in 2021, that is, one year after the first wave of the pandemic began. In contrast, industrial specialization has a negative impact in 2021. Higher rigidity of finance decreases the number of part‐time job postings immediately after the first wave of the pandemic because local governments cannot provide various support measures to create jobs. However, this financial effect disappears with time. Furthermore, higher financial capability positively affects part‐time job postings, although they are not efficient in creating full‐time jobs. The unemployment rate in 2015 negatively affects the regional differences in job postings after 2021. Regarding whether firms seek regions with rich human resources, the result is unexpectedly unclear.

AirAsia Group Berhad strengthens SuperApp during the Covid-19 Pandemic

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Many times, the world has gone through economic crises and one of the worst is the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic has spread across the globe and various policies to limit people's mobility are implemented such as flight restrictions that affect airlines' business. With a significant reduction in the number of passengers, the revenue stream from airline passengers has also decreased significantly. This case study explains the business decisions made by AirAsia in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 challenges companies to respond and run their operations in new, effective, and efficient ways to continue the business. We use a descriptive case study approach with PEST (Political, Economic, Social, and Technology) and SWOT analysis (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunity, and Threats) to determine the internal and external factors used to monitor and evaluate business decisions. We find that AirAsia Group Berhad has an excellent opportunity to make AirAsia’s SuperApp even more developed amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and become a new revenue stream. However, AirAsia management must be wary of its big competitors who are more experienced in digital applications.</span></p>

Analisis Pengaruh Mobilitas Penduduk terhadap Kasus Covid-19 Selama Masa Pandemi di Indonesia Menggunakan Regresi Linier Berganda

Mobility of population is closely related and is thought to have an effect on the number of COVID-19 cases. From time to time, the movement of people's mobility is mapped geographically in various categories, namely retail and recreation, grocery stores and pharmacies, parks, public transportation centers, workplaces, and residential areas. Population mobility is very closely related and is thought to have an effect on the number of Covid-19 cases, population movements greatly affect the social interaction of the population itself, the more activities residents carry out, the more interactions are created and can cause the spread of the virus chain to increase. Therefore, population mobility can be used as a means for the government to take more efficient policies in solving the problems of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses the Multiple Regression method which aims to find out what categories of factors affect Covid-19 cases in Indonesia during the pandemic. The results found that the mobility category of residential areas, parks, and public transportation had a significant effect on Covid-19 cases in Indonesia during the pandemic.

Sustainable mobility scale: A contribution for sustainability assessment systems in urban mobility

The sustainable development of a city directly connects to the conditions of urban mobility. It is essential for public and private managers to know the citizens' perceptions of their mobility in the city. To this end, this research aims to develop and validate a scale to evaluate mobility according to the sustainable dimensions established by ISO 37120, ISO 37122, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Mobility scale (SMob scale) was developed from concepts underlying objective indicators to identify subjective attributes related to citizen perception. The final scale resulted in 21 attributes distributed in 6 dimensions through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. As an additional contribution, a gap was identified related to urban mobility attributes for reduced mobility people. Given the changes necessary to promote an effective mobility strategy in South American countries, this study contributes to translating citizens' perceptions to identify weaknesses and then plan and propose improvements, contributing to sustainable mobility development.

Communicating Mobility Restrictions During the COVID‐19 Crisis on Twitter: The Legitimacy Challenge

AbstractIn response to Covid‐19, governments have imposed substantial restrictions on people's mobility. To encourage compliance, political actors have deployed direct communication strategies on social media. In this paper, we evaluate the legitimacy of the Swiss government's crisis communication on Twitter during the first wave of the pandemic. We examine and compare tweets regarding international and domestic travel, as well as social distancing. Using content and network analysis, we analyze the legitimacy of crisis communication by measuring its timeliness, consistency and congruence. We find that communication on domestic mobility restrictions has enjoyed a higher level of consistency and congruence, but has suffered from a disengagement of political parties, while the communication of international travel restrictions has become increasingly politicized.

Exploring students' feelings of place

Geographically unequal distribution of opportunities for participation in post-school education particularly affects young people in rural and regional areas of Australia. This study contends that the perception of opportunities by young people from low socio-economic status backgrounds should be considered alongside the distribution of opportunities, in order to understand how place and social mobility are intertwined in the reproduction of inequality. Drawing on data about post-school transitions in peri-urban and rural areas of Australia, our study shows that understandings of a sense of belonging to a rural place of origin and the attraction of nature and the outdoors are intrinsic to understanding young people's educational mobilities. Despite a growing interest in the more emotional aspects of mobility, including the concept of 'emotional topographies' and issues of dislocation and belonging, the spatial contingency of student identities and their effects on participation are only just beginning to be manifested in an ontological shift in scholarship. Educational mobilities and the sense of place have been tested by the impact of the 2020 global pandemic. By deepening understanding of how students from rural areas frame their educational choices, this study offers a progression in thinking about dislocation and belonging in the interactions of post-school transitions. Arguably, a broader emotional geographical sense of belonging is needed to understand the experiences of rural students and their mobility or immobility. This broader conceptualisation may indicate new research directions for urban research.

Mobility as Rhizome and Becoming: Experiences of Vietnamese Women in Crossing Borders to do Doctorates

The purpose of this paper is to unpack the meanings and implications of mobility through the experiences of a group of Vietnamese women who decided to do doctorates in Australia. Drawing on the Deleuzian concepts of rhizome and becoming, our analysis of interview data suggests that mobility is made of multiple connections and is in constant movement, extending often reductive “push-pull” discussions of academic mobility. Each aspect shaping mobility connects to another that is multiscalar and multitemporal, where family, education ideologies, gender norms, economic globalization, neoliberalization within higher education, and the histories and biographies of mobile people come together. Power relations are immanent within structures associated with these connections and the women and mobility come together to create aspirations for educational, professional, and personal becoming. The paper offers a more nuanced understanding of international academic mobility rather than relying on economic perspectives and invites innovative approaches in supporting international doctoral students.

RF-RES: Respiration Monitoring With COTS RFID Tags by Dopplershift

In health assessment and disease prevention, vital signs such as breathing rate, heartbeat rate, blood pressure and posturography play a critical role. Not only the elderly, but also young people need to pay attention to vital signs monitoring because more and more young people die of sudden diseases, such as sudden death and myocardial infarction. Traditional vital signs monitoring methods are invasive and inconvenient to use, especially for the elderly because these methods usually require users to wear some dedicated sensors. In recent years, some non-invasive vital signs monitoring methods based on wireless sensing have been proposed. Usually, these methods need the user to remain still. When the user walks around, these methods cannot work well. One of the challenges of mobile people breathing monitoring is that the small body chest displacement caused by breathing is disturbed by people’s walking. In this paper, we propose RF-RES, which is an accurate continuous breathing monitoring method based on RFID technology and uses a pair of tags to eliminate the influence of the user’s body movement. We merge the data of the tag pairs to eliminate the influence of the user’s entire body movement and propose an algorithm based on doppler frequency shift to track the user’s displacement during exercise. We conduct practical experiments to evaluate the performance with Impinj R420 and passive tags. The results show that RF-RES achieves accurate respiratory rate monitoring when estimating the respiratory rate of different users, with an average error of 0.54 BPM.

THE STUDY OF PEDESTRIAN’S CONVENIENCE AND PRIVACY TOWARDS PANDANARAN CROSSING BRIDGE CONDITION

One of the urban infrastructures that reflect the development of a city is a Crossing Bridge. If a city is more developed, the activity of human movement between regions will increase. Crossing Bridge, which is one of the Street Furnitures, functions to ease the people's mobility safely without distracting the flow of existing vehicles. In fact, Crossing Bridge have not been optimally utilized by pedestrians, it can be seen by pedestrian behavior that is applied when passing through the highway by jumping over the barrier. As happened on the Pandanaran road section in the city of Semarang, this behavior causes the bridge to malfunction and brings up further phenomena such as stairs changing into seats and circulating bridges being occupied by homeless people. The purpose of this research is to uncover the connection between the privacy attributes and pedestrian convenience, with the setting conditions of the Pandanaran Crossing Bridge in Semarang, by using a quantitative paradigm approach. The results of the questionnaire in closed form and the Behavioral Mapping method will then be analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques, until it will finally be revealed that the lack of property strength on the Crossing Bridges, which is not able to meet the pedestrians' attribute needs, causes some people choose to cross directly.

Associativism and extensionism: a proposal for ecotourism and reproduction of productive backyards Caratateua island, Belém–PA

Caratateua Island comprises the insular portion of the metropolitan region of Belém-Pará. Despite the historical abandonment of the State, demonstrated in the low level of basic sanitation and difficulties in the supply of potable water and a precarious sewage network, limited availability of high schools and only one health center to serve the people of the island, the place ends up being a refuge for the population excluded by urban reform projects, such as the macro-drainage of the hydrographic basins of Belém, for example, in addition to receiving families who migrate from other interior cities and Ilha do Marajó. However, the island is reference for Environmental Education, through sustainable practices dissemination by the Fundação Escola Bosque Professor Eidorfe Moreira, housing popular cultural events such “cordão de pássaros juninos” and “boi bumbá” and festivals such as “Círio de Nossa Senhora da Conceição” and festivities of Iemanjá. Another specificity of the island is a strong political activism that manifests itself in the formation of associations with different purposes, from religious freedom, ancestry, valorization of rites and recovery of knowledge, to purposes involving human rights, rehabilitation, reintegration into the market for disabled people, agroecology, local development and food security as proposed by the Beneficent Association of Disabled and Reduced Mobility People of Pará, which constitutes a proposition to face the post-pandemic crisis in insular areas and is the main theme of this article.

Web based Smart White Canes for Blind or Visually Impaired People on Wetland Areas

The presence of a white cane considerably aids blind and/or visually impaired people in Orientation and Mobility (OM). Their white cane was insufficient to meet all of their demands, such as marking puddles or marsh areas that would be traversed. As a result, the goal of this study is to construct white canes to aid blind and/or visually impaired people's orientation and mobility in wetland environments. This study used Research and Development model with a 4D design, which included processes such as defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. The participants were blind and/or visually impaired people living on wetland areas in South Kalimantan. Interviews, action tests, questionnaires and observations were used to collect data. To test the effectiveness and practicality of developing white canes, they were analyzed using descriptive statistics. This research resulted in a produced stick with an auditory capability that could detect impediments such as potholes, puddles, and fires while moving around and determine the location point using the Global Positioning System. The study findings revealed that the smart white cane created has an effectiveness of 82 percent when used with very effective criteria; however, the practicality is around 70% in practical criteria. In conclusion, the development of white canes can help blind and/or visually impaired people in mobility on wetland areas especially web based design.

Integration of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) into existing transportation services: A focus group study

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) utilize new technology that promises to enhance transportation equity, accessibility, and safety; however, their acceptance by consumers, as well as their future performance, is reliant upon the planners understanding the public’s perceptions of the current transportation services. Most of the existing studies that evaluate the public's opinions and perceptions of AV technology were conducted by using stated preference surveys in metropolitan areas with multiple public transit options; little emphasis was given to a qualitative approach that included all of the potential users. This study explores the concerns and preferences of future riders about the integration of a shared self-driving shuttle into an existing ridesharing service in a city with no existing public transit system, multiple population segments, and potential users. Utilizing a qualitative approach, we conducted three focus groups that were comprised of the general public; university faculty, staff, and students; and people with disabilities in Arlington, Texas (n = 24). A content analysis method was implemented to analyze the data and identify the main themes and subthemes related to each discussion.The results revealed that all three groups identified service accessibility, flexibility, and reliability as the factors that most strongly shape the demand for existing transportation services. Additionally, people with disabilities cited the capacity of the existing paratransit service and the lack of access to distant health care facilities as barriers that frequently prevent them from using the service.Participants also expressed their concerns about the proposed shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) service, and while accessibility and safety were the primary concerns, they also worried about the capacity of the service, the trip cost, and provisions for people with disabilities. Participants with disabilities indicated that they would adopt the SAV as long as service planners provide a supportive environment such as access to sidewalks, ramps, and curb cuts in the pick-up and drop-off locations. This study provides insights into transportation strategies that can integrate SAVs into existing on-demand ridesharing services to improve people's mobility needs. To predict the short-term and long-term adoption of an SAV deployment, it is essential to identify the potential users' concerns, preferences, and expectations of self-driving technology. The research findings are expected to support transportation planners and policymakers in their quest to recognize and utilize the most effective ways to promote the efficiency of SAV services.

The attitude of potentially less mobile people towards demand responsive transport in a rural area in central Germany

Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) systems are often discussed to expand public transport in rural areas, where conventional buses are often used below capacity. DRT systems can particularly improve the mobility situation for less mobile people or other people who depend on public transport and ultimately prevent them from social exclusion. This paper examines whether people who show characteristics that indicate a mobility deficit are more willing to access the DRT system EcoBus in a rural area of Germany. Using survey data from 156 respondents from households in the EcoBus service area and utilizing linear regression analysis, this study confirms that car availability harms the intended use of DRT and that physical impairment has a positive effect, as identified several times in the literature. Furthermore, the influence of age on the intended EcoBus use depends on the residence place's city size and hence on its offer of daily public services. While residents of a sub-centre of the region are significantly less willing to use the EcoBus with increasing age, there is an opposite tendency for small villages. Thus, in small inaccessible localities, the likelihood of using EcoBus increases with age, suggesting that DRT systems benefit the doubly constrained population, namely the elderly population in localities with few public services.

Cholera, British seamen and maritime anxieties in Calcutta, c.1830s–1890s ‘The William Bynum Prize Essay’

AbstractFrom the mid-nineteenth century, seamen were increasingly identified as vectors of epidemic diseases such as cholera. The rising acceptance of the germ theories of disease and contagion and the transition from sail to steam at this time increased the fear of the rapid spread of contagious diseases through these mobile people. This article examines how the British naval authorities, ship surgeons and the medical and municipal authorities in the Calcutta sailortown sought to improve maritime health and hygiene to prevent the spread of cholera among and by British seamen. Nineteenth century Calcutta is an ideal context for this study on account of its epidemiological notoriety as a disease entrepot and the sea route between Calcutta and British ports was one of the most closely monitored for disease in the Empire. The article argues that a study of cholera among British seamen can generate important insights into the relationship among disease, medicine and colonialism and in doing so shed light into a neglected aspect of the history of nineteenth century cholera, the British anxiety regarding disease dispersion, practice of hygiene and sanitation and British seamen’s health.
