Resilience Capacity Planning: A Strategy Requirement for Vernacular Architecture Existences as a part of Sustainable Development in Lampung

Facing vulnerability of vernacular architecture existences, resilience capacity planning is involved as a strategic requirement for new established ecosystems of human settlement. Resilient capacity planning concept implementation will help local community to reduce impact of climate change and disaster risk, and also increase safety management. The research is intended to measure the resilience of urban system according to sustainable development for historical heritage and resilient approach that has applied in vernacular settlement. Vernacular architecture of Lampung is a suitable example for this research. Lampung is an area that has multi-culture acculturation, which is seen, in the social system of society, cultural patterns, building typologies and traditional settlement patterns. On the other hand, vernacular architecture of Lampung provides outstanding shelter from climate change and disaster risk, meets the requirements of local food security, where the development adjusts the cultural landscape, the potential of food sources and other natural resources. In addition, the development process also uses local technology and construction that adapts the environment and its location to ease the production land. However, there is much vernacular architecture, which have high socio-cultural potential and are not identified by academic researchers. By studying architectural vernacular, we not only repeat the way of life of the past, but also as a first step to create new technologies and designs in the future by learning the knowledge and technology applied in the past especially in Lampung. In this paper, researcher takes lead by conducting a review of important part of the existence of vernacular architecture to conduct resilience capacity planning strategy as a part of sustainable development in Lampung.

Pozorišni i filmski onlajn festivali - (ne)održivost digitalnog okupljanja u doba krize

Applying interdisciplinary theoretical analysis within a framework that cross-references studies in the fields of performance, cultural policy, film and screen media, this paper examines transformations of festivals in digital environment during the Covid-19 pandemic. Festivals are cultural and artistic showcases that present and value certain content, as well as places of public gathering and critical debate, on which we particularly focus in this study. After a brief theoretical remark on what theatre and film encounters represent as places of real physical meetings, we move on to online festivals and events of similar nature which take place in digital surroundings. We then set out to analyse two online festivals, using the case study method on FIST - Festival of International Student Theatre (2020) and my Darling Quarantine - Short Film Festival (2020). These examples help us examine the potential advantages and disadvantages of online festivals, and also their specifics: by moving to the digital realm, online festivals lose their exclusivity given by space-time and geographical limitations. Thus, it is necessary to find new models of functioning that can contribute to having quality collective discussions and transnational exchanges of knowledge and ideas. FIST has accomplished this through opening a space for debate through live online chat, making viewers an integral part of the performance. Likewise, my Darling Quarantine has proven itself as a place of collective effort through its creative cooperative programming. We conclude that the critical and socio-cultural potential of online festivals is exceptional, therefore they should not necessarily be thought of as surrogates or extensions of live events, but as authentic cultural practices.

МЕХАНІЗМ УПРАВЛІННЯ СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНИМ ПОТЕНЦІАЛОМ КРАЇНИ

Дослідження доводять, що в сучасних умовах поступальний розвиток країни та її економічне зростання неможливі без розвитку соціокультурного потенціалу. Однією з причин успіху країн – лідерів економічного зростання є побудова державної моделі управління саме на засадах соціокультурного підходу. Сьогодні вже не викликає жодних сумнівів використання соціокультурного потенціалу як чинника економічного зростання. Саме тому постає об’єктивна необхідність аналізу найкращих світових практик управління соціокультурним потенціалом країни та використання цього досвіду для побудови ефективної державної моделі. Відсутність в Україні цілісної системної методології управління і, як наслідок, цілісної системи технологій соціального управління в його широкому розумінні є важливою комплексною проблемою розвитку суспільства. Цілісна система управління повинна являти собою єдність використовуваних технологій у всіх секторах управління соціокультурним потенціалом. При цьому на даному етапі розвитку українського суспільства основне навантаження покладається саме на державні органи влади, що повинні забезпечити системність і високу технологічність державного управління, ефективність прийнятих державних управлінських рішень.

NON-ECONOMIC FACTORS IN THE THEORY OF ECONOMIC GROWTH: A SOCIO-CULTURAL COMPONENT

Currently, the observed changes in the economies of highly developed countries indicate the increasing importance of sociocultural potential as an important factor of economic development, which largely determines the efficiency of the functioning of the economy. The question of the relationship between culture and national mentality with economic behavior and social institutions (formal and informal) is of particular importance in modern conditions. Analysis of the impact of various economic and non-economic factors on the development of the economy is a topical problem of economic science throughout the period of formation and development of economic systems. In contemporary research, the authors move away from the traditional approach to economic growth, which does not take into account the importance of institutions, cultural traditions, religion, the role of environmental, political and social factors. Empirical studies of economic growth factors that have used standard production functions have failed to confirm the thesis about the decisive role of «physical capital» accumulations. Scientists have found that in addition to traditional factors (labor, land, capital), the growth of the national economy is influenced by others: political (socio-political stability, nature of political regime, peculiarities of economic and social policy of the state, etc.); social; geographical (geographical location, climatic conditions, minerals, nature of population reproduction, etc.); innovative and technological; infrastructure; psychological, socio-cultural. The role of socio-cultural potential of society in the system of economic development of the country is analyzed. The relationship between culture and national mentality with economic behavior and public institutions has been established. G. Hofstede's approach to constructing a system of socio-cultural indicators that determine the socio-cultural potential of economic growth is analyzed. The socio-cultural characteristics that determine the economic growth of the country are characterized. The analysis of the methodology of shaping the sociocultural potential of the society made it possible to identify indicators that will allow to quantify it. The system of indexes for quantitative assessment of socio-cultural potential of economic development of the country is constructed. Keywords: economic growth, factors of economic growth, socio-cultural potential, socio-cultural factors, values, culture, institutional environment.

The Use of the Socio-Cultural Potential of Local Societies through the Presentation of Cultural Specificities

Abstract The study is based on the APVV project that focused on the socio-cultural capital of successful Slovak municipalities, bearers of the “Village of the Year” title, which can serve as a source of inspiration for other municipalities in improving the quality of life in the countryside. The aim of this study is to highlight the possibilities for the development of local communities in the context of geographical and economic determining factors and to observe the use of the socio-cultural capital as a source of sustainable growth also in the context of cultural and local identity. The study analyses two concrete examples aimed to increase the attractiveness of the sites through the presentation of their socio-cultural potential. The first case covers the municipality of Hrušov and its participation in the Hont Eco-Museum project, implemented within the wider micro-region. In the second case, we explore the municipality of Spišský Hrhov and its analogical example – the museum of music MuzikMuzeum. The study was based mainly on the results of the pilot research and subsequent ethno logical field research in both municipalities, conducted predominantly by means of direct interviews with the locals, newcomers as well as leaders of the municipalities in 2018. The synthesis of the conclusions is based on a comparison of some determining factors of the development of both sites (the proximity and accessibility of urban centres, economic or confessional aspects in relation to the local community).

Socio-Cultural Potential of Rural Regions of Belarus in the Context of Cultural Services Consumption: A Sociological Analysis

The author considers socio-cultural potential of rural regions in the context of the cultural services consumption by the rural population. The researcher carries out the analysis of social and cultural infrastructure development of the village, gives numerical indicators of the activities of concert organizations, libraries, club institutions and formations, paid services in dynamics for 2010–2016. The paper reveals the degree of satisfaction of various social and age groups of the rural population with the quality of educational and cultural services at the place of residence, the availability of opportunities to visit cultural and leisure activities and cultural institutions. The given survey is based on the data of empirical research conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in 2018. The author compares subjective assessments of their material well-being of groups with different social status with the average income per family member, the minimum subsistence budget in the context of opportunities to pay for educational paid clubs for their children, pre-school institutions. The researcher concludes that the most economically vulnerable group not having sufficient funds to pay for cultural services and activities are peasants, agricultural workers. Self-assessments of the modest financial situation and requests for cultural and leisure services correlate with the low level of income of this social group. The conducted study determines that the socio-cultural potential of rural regions largely depends on the specifics of the socio-cultural infrastructure of the modern village, the totality of social, cultural and economic resources. In contrast to the city, the socio-cultural infrastructure of rural regions is less developed and equipped with material and technical means. The author highlights that in successful realization of socio-cultural potential of different groups of rural population, a major role is played by the services of the population in the field of culture, which should be accessible regardless of social status and place of residence. The researcher underlines that it is necessary to create comfortable living conditions in rural areas, to provide local residents with not only material but also spiritual well-being. Ignoring the existing problems of the development of socio-cultural infrastructure and culture in rural areas will lead to a further outflow of young people and skilled working-age population to the city.

PERAN PRAMUWISATA DI KAWASAN KONSERVASI GEOPARK, BATUR KINTAMANI

Geopark as a conservation area has a potential for biodiversity, geological diversity, and culture. This diversity of potential is developed as an integral part of the Geotourism area. This research was conducted in the Gunung Batur conservation area and the purpose of this study was to determine the role of guides through the delivery of information provided to tourists to contribute to the protection of the Batur geopark conservation area as sustainable tourism. The role of the guide was identified through the perception of tourists by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents. The results of the study state that there are two variables, namely the communicator mediator and the Research management role of environmental interpreter in the category "Simply Agree". The sub-indicators of the variable are "Explain potential (geology) as the main potential of the conservation area" with a score of 52.8 percent; "Explain the activities of local communities in the conservation area" with a score of 59.4 percent; "Describe natural resources, vegetation and habitat at the climbing location" with a score of 50 percent. The three sub-indicators are indicators that are the main function of the role of guides in the conservation area, but this sub-indicator gets the lowest percentage, therefore it is interpreted that the role of guides in the Batur Kintamani Geopark conservation area still needs improvement in interpreting information related to socio-cultural potential , as well as geology as a potential for conservation, and natural resources.

Utilization of Cultural Social Potential in Tuberculosis Efforts

The main problem in overcoming tuberculosis (TB) is the low coverage of TB cases in various regions. In the province of West Sumatra the discovery of TB cases only reached 63.97%. While in the District of Fifty Cities only reached 35.2%.

Imaginea ucraineanului în mentalitatea polonezilor. studiu de caz pornind de la cartea Borş Ucrainean a jurnalistului Piotr Pogorzelski

The article aims at presenting the geopolitical, social and cultural image of Ukraine, seen through the eyes of the author, the Polish journalist Piotr Pogorzhelski, former Kiev correspondent of the National Radio Polonia. This imagological portrait, which carries us through the history and national stereotypes, means to bring Ukraine closer to Romanian readers. Despite the neighborhood and the presence of the Ukrainian community in Romania, Romanians don’t know their northern neighbours very well, older generations show preconceived ideas and a distorted historical memory. Piotr Pogorzhelski’s book, translated into Romanian and published in 2015 shortly after the dramatic events on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti, aims to raise public awareness and draw attention to the political and socio-cultural potential of Ukraine and the Ukrainians. The same goal pursues «The Ukrainian Borsch» in Poland, a country where Ukraine is a frequent topic of discussion in the press, because the connection between Poland and Ukraine has always been very strong, despite some historical difficulties. The majority of Poles treat Ukraine with a sense of deep affection due to family roots or nostalgia for the western territories of Ukraine, which once belonged to Poland. And yet, among the Poles who manifest openness and an increased interest in Ukraine, the image of this country and its inhabitants is due to narrow negative stereotypes. On the background of current political events and taking into the account the lack of knowledge about Ukraine in Romania, «The Ukrainian Borsch» seems to be an indispensable and appropriate tool for shaping the collective portrait of Ukrainians and contemporary Ukrainian society.

CHILDREN’S CHORAL ART AS SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PHENOMENON

TheThe article is devoted to the analysis of choral singing at the present stage, taking into account the historical and socio-cultural regularities of the development of musical art. The essence of children’s choral art as a socio-cultural phenomenon is covered. In the article, based on the analysis of theoretical foundations of the research, for the first time the socio-cultural potential and the importance of choral art in the life of society are highlighted. Achievements and perspectives of choral experience and choral practices are considered in order to create a decent environment for the current state of children’s choral art in Ukraine. Existing research represents a great pedagogical heritage and is a significant factor in establishing a methodological base for music and pedagogical repertoire. In order to clarify and fill in the specific content of various aspects of the concept of children’s choral art in the socio-cultural space, it is necessary to turn to the review of problems of personality education based on cultural traditions, which are considered in the works of V. Andrushchenko, A. Boyko, O. Bondarevskaya, V. Kushnev, O. Novikova, A. Shcherbakova and others. The analysis of the problem of choral education in the history of music education in Ukraine gives every reason to say that it is through the means of choral music that a child’s personality should be developed, since it preserves all educational opportunities. The modern system of education takes into account the requirements of a society belonging to the European civilization and realizes ethical and aesthetic education, forms a high humanistic culture of personality, capable of counteracting manifestations of spirituality. Studying children’s choral performance in the socio-cultural space, first of all it is necessary to distinguish its components as the phenomena of the aesthetic, as one of the most important components of the contemporary artistic space. However, performance (like any other artistic phenomenon), being a phenomenon not only aesthetically pleasing, but also fully socially dependent on other subsystems of the social structure. One of them is the scale of the social phenomenon under consideration. The second is positioning, which collectively determines the sufficiently high degree of influence of choral music on children as a modern social phenomenon on the set of related, or more precisely, connected with it other socio-cultural phenomena and processes. The ways of their development should be sought in the expansion of international creative contacts in all forms: festivals, competitions, concerts, workshops, etc. Both of these positions are projected on the need to consider the process of functioning of choral music in the modern socio-cultural space, taking into account its own diversity.

Revitalizing Mathematics Education Preparation in Nigeria for National Development: An Innovative View

Mathematics education currently is not in a good phase as regard its product in term of marketability, teachers’ quality, subject mastery, professional competent, pedagogical acumen among others.

It is therefore imperative to look critically at different ways to revitalize Mathematics education preparation in Nigeria with reference to national development and putting up various innovations and think–thank syndrome into pre-service teacher preparation.

Translation of digitized filmstrips: sociocultural aspects and pedagogical potential

ABSTRACTFilmstrip (a roll of 35 mm positive film containing still images and text) was a medium widely used in educational settings between the 1940s and 1980s. Projected still images were accompanied either by recorded narration or a text read out aloud for the audience, which made filmstrip a unique multimodal medium before videotapes. Filmstrip can be given a special status in the media history of Eastern Europe, where, in addition to education, it was extensively used in home entertainment. This paper presents the technical and sociocultural aspects of this medium and addresses questions about the current trend of digitization, online publishing and translation of filmstrips by amateurs. The paper argues that working with filmstrips offers considerable pedagogical advantages in foreign language teaching and acquisition. It also discusses a survey conducted at Osaka University, where filmstrip translation was used as a preparatory activity of L1 subtitling. The findings show that besides improving learners’ reading and translation skills, the translation of filmstrips might be an optimal didactic tool for sensitizing learners to questions of audiovisual translation, and preparing them for more complex audiovisual translation tasks such as subtitling.
