Eco-City-Based Sustainable Settlement Planning In Bengkayang New City Area

The inability of a city to the pressure of increasing activity in urban areas which has encouraged the expansion of development into suburban areas is a phenomenon that often occurs in major urban centers. With the development of a new area, it can be a solution to solving urban problems, expanding the availability of housing and infrastructure, and reducing disparities between the main city and suburban areas. The development of a new city, in addition to physically changing the suburban area, can also have a socio-economic impact on the people, as a challenge to fulfill the welfare of the urban housing phenomenon. Bengkayang Regency is one of the developing districts. As one of the border frontier cities in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, Bengkayang is the main border gate between Indonesia and neighboring Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. The great potential of Bengkayang Regency has not been supported by adequate urban planning and arrangement, which can reflect unique regional characteristics (local wisdom). The local government has established a policy regarding the development of a new city in Bengkayang, which is located in the Bumi Sebalo Village. This study aims to carry out sustainable settlement planning in the New City Area of Bengkayang based on Eco-City. Determination of the location based on the new Bengkayang city master plan data, namely in the sub BWP housing and green open space, with a descriptive qualitative analysis method. Settlement planning carried out includes aspects of housing, area support facilities and public green open spaces. The direction for housing arrangement uses a balanced residential concept, with a cluster system without guardrails, a grid pattern following the contours and condition of the land, pedestrian-friendly, and utilizing natural potential in the form of river flows as public open space areas and jogging tracks. Commercial facilities as supporting areas are placed on main road access with more strategic functions. Public green open space as a means of socializing and recreation on a city scale, how many sub-BWP green open spaces are equipped with urban forests as bearers of ecological functions, playgrounds, water fountains, amphitheater, street vendor areas to support the local community's economy, festival market areas as well as several tourist and cultural attractions as support activity.

Adaptive control for multi-agent systems with actuator fault via reinforcement learning and its application on multi-unmanned surface vehicle

In this paper, the adaptive cooperative control problem is studied for a class of second order multi-agent systems (MASs) with actuator fault via reinforcement learning (RL). The strategic utility function is approximated by the critic neural network (NN), and the uncertain dynamics in MASs are estimated by the action NN. The NN weight vectors are updated by employing the gradient descent strategy. Then, the distributed RL control strategy is developed to solve the consensus control design problem. In comparison with the existent RL control results, the actuator fault is taken into consideration in the controller design. The stability analysis is given based on the Lyapunov theory, and all signals in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Two simulation examples, including a multi-unmanned surface vehicle system, are presented to demonstrate the validation of this strategy.

Analysis of Corporate Strategic Marketing Functions for Sustainable Water Resources Management: A Case of Water Resources Commission, Ghana

Water resource management has been a bane to most nations globally, and Ghana is no exception. However, the case of Ghana is exacerbated to the extent that the few rivers in the nation which supply raw water to users for treatment and then serve homes and offices are seriously being threatened through pollution, and subsequently, destruction. Most rivers in Ghana are not pleasant to the eye, due to the turbid nature of the resource. ‘Galamseyers’, fishing folks and sand winners have been destroying the water resource of Ghana; their activities should be curtailed immediately to protect the commodity. As the saying goes, water is life and once it is destroyed the implications are disastrous, as diseases and death of the populace are the outcome. The Water Resources Commission (WRC) is well positioned by the government of Ghana, according to the Act 522, to make sure the resource is not destroyed, but protected for use by all. Every support needed to fight the destruction currently going on in the river bodies should be mobilized to nib in the bud the activities of the ‘galamseyers’, to protect the resource for future generations. Globally, the environment has been affected through human destructive activities and the climate change being observed currently globally, is a testimony for all to see. COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference held at Glasgow, 2021, issued a final declaration to keep alive the ambition of curtailing global temperature increases to not go beyond 1.5oC by 2100. Governments should therefore, do well to help protect the environment, including rivers and make life comfortable for all.

The increasing prevalence of multi-sided online platforms and their influence on international entrepreneurship: The rapid transformation of entrepreneurial digital ecosystems

A set of diverse, evolving, and interactive forces are strengthening trends toward the digitization of firms business models and operations at a relatively fast pace and are affecting firms’ operations at relatively micro levels. They are also changing the ecosystems at the macro level through rapid digitization, augmented by the forces of change in the environment, including the progressive developments in communication and information technology and the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), www3.0, and I 4.0 amongst others. A review of the change and the evolutionary trends in the past 2 decades is highlighted to enable a discussion and characterization of the rapidly dominating digital ecosystems and their impacts on firms, especially iSMEs. This article examines the entrepreneurial digital ecosystem (EDE) to bring it within our theoretical and iSMEs’ easy operational reach with a few brief case-study examples of multi-sided online platforms and their increasingly disruptive impacts so far. Four schematic presentations portray the involved processes and are presented in Figs 1, 2, 3a and 3b; a comparative analysis of the top online multi-sided platform is presented in Table 1. They are operating within the macro entrepreneurial digital ecosystem, while modifying their own micro dimensions to their advantage and affecting the macro EDE. For ease of adoption and operationalization, the principal operating characteristics of a typical macro entrepreneurial digital ecosystem, each representing a distinct strategic function, are identified and re-articulated for SMEs’ and internationalized SMEs’ (iSMEs) ease of access and use for building their own corresponding micro EDE operations in order to exploit its advantages and avoid its emerging potential hazards.

This community service activity is intended to provide training to PKBM Katimpun students through two materials, namely the use of the Canva application and learning to write procedure texts in English.

Il Progetto 4CH per un Centro di Competenza per la Conservazione del Patrimonio Culturale: nuove tecnologie a supporto della tutela

Fifty years after the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted by UNESCO in 1972, the objective of protecting and safeguarding the heritage inherited from the past persists unchanged. What has evolved is not only its concept, which progressively included increasingly diversified tangible and intangible assets, broadening its extension and enhancing its richness, but also the processes aimed at their safe-guarding. Within this scenario, a key role is played by Competence Centres for their strategic function capable of responding to the European Union approach with reference to the pact system enucleated by the 1972 UNESCO Convention for heritage protection. Focusing on the first phases of the 4CH Project (Grant Agreement 101004468), this paper aims to outline the ongoing experience in setting up a Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, strongly centred on the promotion and enhancement of innovative technologies for heritage safeguarding.

The guiding document of the PMDF's ICT is the PDTIC, that is, the ICT Strategy is developed directly in the PDTIC, which is prepared based on the SISP methodology and has a double scope: strategic and directive.

Maturity in leaps and bounds – organisational listening for customer engagement

ABSTRACT Much organisational development occurs during times of crisis when answers and solutions are urgently needed. The objective of this article is to show examples illustrating that organisational listening on social media may take leaps from immature to mature mainly due to the pressure from stakeholders, not often as a strategic tool of integrated marketing communications (IMC) or public communications. The first example is from the late 2010s, when stakeholders were introduced to a direct route to brands made available through social media. Many unanswered customer questions suddenly became visible and were subsequently addressed. Similarly, the COVID-19 pandemic, as the second example, pressured organisations to respond to citizens’ urgent concerns. These snapshots of development suggest that what matters for organisational legitimacy is understanding stakeholders’ changing needs. This paper proposes that organisational listening – even in social media – should become a strategic function of organisations. Building on theories related to organisational listening, social media and IMC, this article argues for incorporating organisational listening as a strategic function into a model of integrated marketing and communications and/or strategic public communication.

Texting or face-to-face for support-seeking in romantic relationships: The role of affordances and attachment

Support-seeking, a critical and strategic function of close relationships, is increasingly practiced via texting. Guided by attachment theory and an affordance-centric approach, this study investigated to what extent individuals in a romantic relationship would use texting and face-to-face for support-seeking, and what stimulates their interest in mediated support-seeking. A survey of college students in exclusive romantic relationships ( N = 211) found that several affordances (i.e., accessibility, the availability of social cues, and conversation control) were associated with varying levels of interest in texting or face-to-face for support-seeking. Both accessibility and the availability of social cues were perceived as less important by avoidant individuals, which was related to a lack of interest in texting and face-to-face interactions for support-seeking. Anxious individuals valued the availability of social cues more, which led to a greater interest in face-to-face interactions when seeking assistance. These findings contribute to a better understanding of support-seeking behavior in today’s mediated world.

Layanan Perpustakaan Universitas Airlangga Berbasis Inklusi Sosial melalui Pembinaan UMKM di Wilayah Surabaya Utara dan Timur

The social inclusion-based library transformation program initiated by the director of The National Library of the Republic of Indonesia serves as the background of the study. Libraries that prioritize social inclusion provide resources to the community to help them maximize their potential for welfare. The crucial and strategic function of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) is one of the factors contributing to Indonesia's economic growth. MSMEs and social inclusion-based libraries have a close working relationship since the community can develop imagination, innovation, and creativity in establishing and developing their products by library services. Airlangga University Library is one of the libraries founded on social inclusion and has been mentoring MSMEs in Surabaya's northern and eastern regions since 2019. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of sources of information, facilities and infrastructure as well as programs created by the Airlangga University Library in increasing the productivity and income of MSME actors. This is qualitative research using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) data collection technique. Interviews with 6 (six) assisted MSME actors showed that the programs created by the Airlangga University Library inspired them to be more enthusiastic about developing their businesses. The study's findings indicate that the library's programs can be used as a source of information for advancing and developing MSME. The Airlangga University Library is expected to provide more sources of information that are relevant to needs, infrastructure to market products and organize other programs that provide knowledge for MSME actors in developing business.

Translating Agendas in Children’s Literature: Oscar Wilde’s Fairy Tales in China

Children’s literature is recently regarded as an emergent vehicle for the expression of opposing political views (Simpson, 2020), becoming an up-and-coming part of contemporary political discourse. To examine the discursive properties of agendas and political discourse in fairy tales and their translation particulars, this study adopts the political and critical discourse analysis (Schäffner, 2004; Van Dijk, 2003) with the method of micro-textual lexis analysis and macro social-historical analysis. It is found that: 1) political discourse in children’s literature exhibits a marked discursive property of substantial adjective usage; 2) denotation expansion, trivialization, and contrast explicitation are three recurrent translation strategies under the strategic functions of dissimulation and delegitimization; 3) translation initiation manifests political awareness with local, ideological, and political implications. The study, with a specific focus on the Chinese context, foregrounds the empowerment of translation with local, ideological, and political implications, highlighting the delicate strategies adopted by translators in a likewise delicate genre of children’s literature.
