Development of Digital Promotion for Culinary Products and Photo Tours in the Baru Coastal Area, Srandakan, Bantul

Abstract. The Baru Beach Culinary Association of Ngentak Village is a community that provides a platform for Baru Beach culinary entrepreneurs. This association was formed in 2010 and became active in 2012. The management of this association is a collection of native residents of Ngentak Village who manage the culinary micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) of Pantai Baru Ngentak Village. There are 120 MSME actors involved in this association. Many proceeds have made the MSMEs sell various seafood culinary delights in the Pantai Baru area. Yet, all tend to be hampered because there is no digital promotion, which makes it difficult for MSME actors to introduce their products to the wider community. Furthermore, it also impacts the number of visitors who come. To overcome this problem, three community service programs have been carried out, including introducing promotions through digital content to association administrators and MSME actors, production of content promotions, and addition of photo spots around the beach.

Young children’s information-seeking practices in center-based childcare

Many children in the USA spend a significant amount of time in center-based childcare. However, research has yet to explore their information practices in this setting. This study investigates young children’s perceptions of the concept of information and their own information-seeking practices within the context of their day care classroom. The participants included 13 children between three and five years of age. Data was collected using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, child-led photo tours, and photo-elicitation interviews. The findings indicate that the children did not perceive the concept of information in a manner consistent with adult understandings of the term, and that they engaged in information-seeking related to finding out new things on their own, through interactions with others, and through classroom resources, activities, and routines. The findings have implications for both researchers and practitioners working with young children.

In terms of scenery tours, the top ranking directions are exotic ones, such as South-East Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, India, Tibet, China, Nepal, Ethiopia, Bhutan and Malaysia. The whole territory of Ukraine is appealing in terms of photo tour development, though the Ukrainian Carpathians and the Crimea possess the best qualities for scenery, panoramic and genre photography. At present photo tours are being actively carried out only in the Western regions of the country. The most interesting natural locations have been described, which might become the basis for photo tours within the boundaries of Ukraine in the future. The objects to be captured by the camera lens are mostly historical and cultural heritage – castles, fortresses, palace complexes. The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone has become a particularly interesting photo location. A range of schematic maps depicting tourist photo locations in the West of Ukraine has been created. The second vector of the development of photo tourism in Ukraine is the landscapes of the Carpathian Mountains. The following photo tours are successfully implemented and the most popular among tourists: “The Marmaros Mountains: photo trip along the Ukraine – Romania border”; “Verkhovyna Watershed Ridge”; “Borzhava Mountain Valley”; “ Pre-Watershed Gorgany”; “Svydovets Massif”; “Marmaros Massif”.

<p align="left">New Crepidium species (Orchidaceae, Malaxidinae) from the Island of Negros, Philippines

In 2013, when Mr Ravan Schneider with his wife Josephine came back from their photo tour on the Samar Island National Park (Philippines), they made a short stop in the small village of Marabut. At the food kiosk, Schneider came across in the garden next door some terrestrial orchids. Among others, there was a Crepidium plant with conspicuous leaf coloration. One of the plants had a fresh inflorescence, and he asked the owner if he could have this plant. The owner of the plants said that the plants came from about 10 kilometres from Marabut on a logging and mining road. Schneider was given the plant, which was luck because after typhoon Haynan (2013) not much remained of Marabut. In his garden the plants grew well. Upon blooming in November 2013, the plants and flowers were photographed, samples of the plant were dried and some flowers additionally were preserved in Copenhagen mixture for detailed study.

Dutch large-scale dementia-care environments: A village within the community

The scope of this article is as follows. First, it summarizes the development of, and some characteristics of Dutch large-scale residential/nursing care homes, and dementia care, from the perspective of the changing landscape of policy on housing, home-care services, and financial priorities. Second, it provides a short description (to supplement a PowerPoint photo tour) of the largest care home in the Netherlands, designed by Herman Hertzberger, 35 years ago. It has 520 beds, and pioneered the ‘village within the community’ concept of care. The features of this prizing winning care home setting will be described as they relate to current thinking about good dementia care, and against the backdrop of concerns coming out of the pilot projects introducing ‘small-scale group living dementia care environments’.The view taken in this article is that the traditional large-scale accommodation can offer a safe and valuable home-like environment, as well as other advantages, and that there will always be a need for them (albeit with adaptations).

Restoration Down Under: A Photo Tour of Projects in Queensland

Photo tourism

We present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface. Our system consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each photograph as well as a sparse 3D model of the scene and image to model correspondences. Our photo explorer uses image-based rendering techniques to smoothly transition between photographs, while also enabling full 3D navigation and exploration of the set of images and world geometry, along with auxiliary information such as overhead maps. Our system also makes it easy to construct photo tours of scenic or historic locations, and to annotate image details, which are automatically transferred to other relevant images. We demonstrate our system on several large personal photo collections as well as images gathered from Internet photo sharing sites.
