Evaluation of the influence of traditional village square layout factors on wind comfort

The layout factors of traditional village squares play a significant role in determining the comfortable outdoor wind environment, making them the primary venue for outdoor communication activities among residents. This study focuses on the traditional village square spaces within the jurisdiction of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China. Through onsite measurements and CFD simulations, the effects of various layout factors on the wind environment are compared and analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) The plane permeability index of the enclosed square space layout impacts wind speed, comfort, and ventilation performance. Lowering the index will decrease wind speed, but it will improve comfort. (2) Increasing the height-to-cross-section ratio index of the enclosed layout of the square space will reduce wind speed, thereby improving wind comfort. (3) Increasing the enclosure rate index of the square space enclosure layout will decrease wind speed, resulting in better wind comfort. Overall, the research findings indicate that careful consideration should be given to the enclosed layout of traditional village square spaces to ensure optimal wind conditions.

Current state of tourism services for tourists: a study in Hanoi City, Vietnam

Assessing tourist satisfaction has become a hot topic for tourism research in recent years. Many studies have shown that improving tourist satisfaction not only has a positive impact on service providers and destination reputation, but also increases tourist loyalty, lowers price elasticity, lowers future transaction costs, and increases production efficiency (Chen et al., 2012; Nguyen Trong Nhan et al., 2014). Some other studies have also shown that improving tourist satisfaction will stimulate word-of-mouth advertising (Ekinci, 2004; Gonzalez et al., 2007; cited by Chen et al., 2012). Therefore, assessing tourist satisfaction is very important, it helps to find out the existing problems, limitations or strengths of service quality from the perspective of tourists, thereby finding solutions to contribute to improving the ability to provide better and better services. Hanoi as the capital, the economic - political - social center of Vietnam. Therefore, the tourism - hotel industry not only attracts tourists but also diplomatic, business and economic - political - social event participants.

Community Behavior towards Plastic Waste: Case Study in Nagari Batu Basa as a Traditional Village

Sumatra Barat is a halal tourist area but many people throw rubbish carelessly. This phenomenon is a big problem, because environmental issues and waste are world issues. This study reveals the causes of people's behavior of littering using quantitative and qualitative methods. Using 30 observers who monitored community activities for 10 days. The population of this research is the people of Nagari Batu Basa, Pariangan Tanah Datar, Sumatra Barat, consisting of three Jorong (hamlet), Jorong Batu Basa, Jorong Koto Baru, and Jorong Sialahan. The results of the study reveal that people's behavior is to throw rubbish into the river because there are no regulations from the government, there are no rubbish bins, and there is no community initiative to make rubbish bins. People throwing rubbish carelessly has become a habit. People do not care about plastic waste because they do not have knowledge and understanding about plastic waste. Education about waste is also not provided to school students. Apart from that, the government does not pay special attention to plastic waste. The results of this study prove that regulations have an important role in shaping people's behavior in managing waste, especially plastic waste.

Antecedents of Accountability Based on Karma Pala Teachings and its Consequences on Panureksa VCI Performance in Badung Regency

The rampant involvement of Village Credit Institution (VCI) officials in corruption cases in various regions in Bali, especially in Badung Regency, is an interesting issue to be studied and researched further. This action, in addition to having an impact on the performance of the VCI organization, also has an impact on the sustainability of VCI in the future. As is known, published data shows that almost all regions in Bali have found VCI that are unhealthy and have even gone bankrupt. How is it possible that VCI, which is managed by the community based on traditional villages with very strict awig-awig, actually experiences fraud committed by the officials themselves. This is very embarrassing and distorts the goals of VCI that have been aspired to. The existence of various fraudulent practices is an indicator of the weak supervisory function in VCI. Prevention of unhealthy practices in VCI should be carried out properly if Panureksa is responsive to every transaction that exists. The failure of the supervisory body to prevent deviations in VCI management and protect village assets from corruption is a reflection of the weak performance of the VCI supervisory body. This study aims to answer the main problem regarding the role of belief in the law of karma as an antecedent in improving the performance of panureksa. This study was conducted at panureksa VCI in Badung Regency. Hypothesis testing was carried out using PLS-SEM analysis, with the help of SmartPLS 3.2.9 Software. The results of the study indicate that belief in the law of karma can increase the accountability of panureksa in carrying out their duties. Belief in the law of karma can function as a moral and ethical principle that encourages someone to act in a correct and responsible manner, with the belief that their actions will be rewarded accordingly in the future. Other results indicate that accountability can improve the performance of panureksa. Accountability requires panureksa to actively identify, assess, and manage risks that can affect VCI operations. Good risk management can reduce the likelihood of financial or operational problems, thereby increasing the stability and performance of the institution.

Integration of Local Wisdom and Modern Policies: The Role of Traditional Village Government In The Implementation of Sasi In Maluku

This study aims to analyze the role of traditional village governments in implementing sasi in Negeri Lima, Leihitu District, Maluku, particularly focusing on the integration of local wisdom with modern policies in managing natural resources. Sasi, a traditional resource management system, has long been practiced in Maluku but has evolved alongside modern government policies and contemporary challenges. This research employs a qualitative method, with data collected through observation and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that traditional village governments play a crucial role as intermediaries between local communities and modern policies. In Negeri Lima, the implementation of sasi is managed more systematically due to strong collaboration between traditional institutions, such as the Kewang, and local government policies. This integration enables more adaptive natural resource management, including boosting the economic value of local commodities like nutmeg and coconut. The study concludes that the role of traditional village governments extends beyond merely preserving traditions; it also involves innovating in sustainable natural resource management. This research offers a fresh perspective on how local wisdom can be preserved through the synergy between tradition and modern governance.

Study on the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional villages and their response to the water network system in the lower yangtze river basin

Traditional villages hold significant historical and cultural value as the precious heritage of China’s agricultural civilization. Currently, against the backdrop of increasing urbanization and rapid expansion of urban construction land, the spatial patterns of traditional villages across various regions in China are being encroached upon and damaged, with protection pressures growing daily. As one of the important cradles of Chinese civilization, the Lower Yangtze River Basin (LYRB) has traditional villages closely linked with its water systems, forming a unique human-land relationship and spatial distribution pattern. However, influenced by the rapid urbanization process, the spatial patterns of traditional villages in this region also face a crisis, and the contradiction between protection and development is becoming increasingly prominent. How to balance this contradiction and ensure the reasonable protection and sustainable development of traditional villages has become an urgent issue to address. Therefore, this study focuses on the LYRB. Using ArcGIS tools and combined with mathematical analysis methods, the spatial distribution characteristics and essential influencing factors of traditional villages in this area were screened and analyzed. The objective was to examine the spatial structural relationship between traditional villages, four water system types, and nine sub-basin units, intending to reveal the unique interdependence between the water system and traditional villages in this area. This would provide scientific support for the formulation of scientific conservation strategies. The research results show that: (1) Traditional villages in The LYRB form two core clusters spatially and exhibit substantial spatial accumulation; (2) Water system characteristics are the main factors affecting the distribution of traditional villages; (3) In the LYRB, the spatial distribution of the nine sub-basins is closely related to the spatial distribution of traditional villages, resulting in typical regional spatial differentiation of traditional villages in this area. This study is based on a watershed perspective, and the results highlight the importance of the water system network in the development of traditional villages, revealing a unique spatial dependency relationship between traditional villages and the water network in the LYRB. In order to ensure the comprehensive protection of the traditional village system in this region, it is essential to adhere to the fundamental principles that govern its spatial configuration. A tripartite collaborative protection system based on the watershed should be formulated from the perspective of the overall distribution relationship between the water network and the traditional villages. This system would serve to protect the overall landscape, the water network pattern, and the traditional villages. Establishing an overall pattern view of integrating the water system network and the traditional villages is essential.

Quality Evaluation of Public Spaces in Traditional Villages: A Study Using Deep Learning and Panoramic Images

In the context of rapid urbanization, public spaces in traditional villages face challenges such as material ageing, loss of characteristics, and functional decline. The scientific and objective assessment of the quality of these public spaces is crucial for the sustainable development of traditional villages. Panoramic images, as an important source of spatial data, combined with deep learning technology, can objectively quantify the characteristics of public spaces in traditional villages. However, existing research has paid insufficient attention to the evaluation of the quality of public spaces in traditional villages at the micro-scale, often relying on questionnaires and interviews, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of planning and construction. This study constructs an evaluation system for the quality of public spaces in traditional villages, taking national-level traditional villages in the Fangshan District of Beijing as an example, based on traditional field research, using deep learning and panoramic images to automatically extract the features of public spaces in traditional villages, using a combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) methods to determine the weights of the indicators and applying the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to evaluate the quality of public spaces in traditional villages. The study found that the quality of public spaces in Nanjiao Village is Grade I; Shuiyu Village and Liulinshui Village, Grade III; and Heilongguan Village, Grade IV and that there is still much room for improvement in general. The evaluation results match well with the public’s subjective perceptions, with an R2 value of 0.832, proving that the constructed evaluation system has a high degree of accuracy. This study provides a scientific basis and an effective tool for the planning, design, and management of public spaces in traditional villages, which helps decision-makers better protect and utilize them.

The local wisdom approach in resolving non-performing loans at traditional village credit institution in Bali: a case study during the COVID-19 pandemic

This study explores the role of local wisdom in managing non-performing loans (NPLs) within Village Credit Institutions (VCDs) in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a case study approach, the research examines the effectiveness of traditional mechanisms such as awig-awig (customary law) and pararem (community agreements) in maintaining social cohesion and addressing financial challenges. Through qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and document analysis, the study seeks to understand how these customary practices contribute to resolving NPLs. The findings indicate that local wisdom fosters community engagement and dialogue, offering temporary solutions to financial problems during crises. These traditional mechanisms promote a sense of collective responsibility and help maintain social harmony by facilitating discussions between debtors and VCDs. However, the research also highlights several limitations. While effective in the short term, local wisdom struggles to enforce sanctions and provide long-term resolutions, especially during severe economic downturns like the pandemic. This issue is compounded by external factors such as Bali’s heavy reliance on tourism, which makes the local economy highly vulnerable to global disruptions. The lack of digital infrastructure and the absence of integrated government support further intensify the challenges faced by VCDs in managing NPLs. The study concludes that while local wisdom remains a valuable tool for crisis management, its effectiveness is constrained in times of prolonged financial instability. For VCDs to achieve long-term sustainability and resilience in future crises, it is essential to integrate traditional practices with modern financial systems. Additionally, stronger government support, including digital infrastructure development and comprehensive financial regulations, is crucial to ensure the sustainability of VCDs. This combination of traditional and modern strategies can help VCDs navigate future economic challenges more effectively and safeguard their role in the local economy.

Analysis Methods for Landscapes and Features of Traditional Villages Based on Digital Technology—The Example of Puping Village in Zhangzhou

Many traditional villages have been degraded to a certain extent due to urbanization and out-of-control management. In addition, due to the lack of recognition and continuation of spatial texture in some village conservation and planning that, in turn, resulting in the gradual disappearance of their distinctive landscape feature. Studying the spatial form of traditional villages helps preserve the authenticity of traditional villages as cultural landscape and inherits traditional historical characteristics. Using Puping Village in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province as an example, this paper obtains the integrated information data of the village through UAV oblique photography, classifies and extracts the spatial constitution of the traditional village using digital technology, quantitatively analyses it from macroscopic to microscopic, and summarizes the spatial morphology analysis method of the traditional village. The results demonstrate that digital technology can effectively and accurately complete data collection and can provide an objective basis for zoning conservation of traditional villages based on the distinction between new and historic buildings. In addition, digital information collection on the traditional villages landscape features will prepare for the establishment of a database and comparative analysis in the future. We further suggest that digital technology analysis needs to be combined with traditional methods to have a deeper understanding of the formation process of village spatial morphology. The results of the practice in Puping Village show that the use of digital technology can provide a scientific basis for the protection and planning of traditional villages, and that this method is adaptable, which can help to efficiently collect and analyze data on landscape characteristics of other similar villages in China, and support innovative methodologies and technologies for China’s rural revitalization efforts.

Risk Management as a Moderator of the Influence of Good Corporate Governance on Corporate Sustainability in Village Credit Institutions

Village Credit Institutions (hereinafter referred to as LPD) in Bali were established based on Bali Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2002 and have been amended several times. The existence of LPD is needed to ensure the realization of the welfare of the traditional village community. LPD must continue to strive so that its sustainability is maintained properly. A number of LPDs in Bali have developed well and their benefits are felt by the village community, but there are also LPDs in a number of villages that have not been able to develop well, and some are even not operating. Based on these conditions, this study was conducted to analyze a number of factors that can affect the sustainability of LPDs in Bali. This study focuses on those that are most likely to affect the sustainability of LPDs, This study focuses on good corporate governance and credit risk management in LPDs in Gianyar Regency. Good corporate governance includes six dimensions: participation, responsibility, independence, fairness, accountability, and transparency. Corporate sustainability is assessed through economic, social, and environmental performance. The research sampled 84 healthy LPDs registered with the Village Credit Institution Empowerment Institution (LPLPD) using purposive sampling. The LPD chairpersons served as respondents, and data analysis was conducted using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method based on partial least squares (PLS).

Heritage Value Assessment and Landscape Preservation of Traditional Chinese Villages Based on the Daily Lives of Local Residents: A Study of Tangfang Village in China and the UNESCO HUL Approach

Traditional Chinese villages, recognized as national heritage sites, are invaluable cultural assets. Since 2012, efforts have focused on their preservation, though issues remain such as prioritizing authenticity over usability and material over cultural elements. This paper adopts the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach, emphasizing the integration of physical heritage with daily life to shift value assessment. The fundamental argument of this paper is that the HUL method can serve as a new tool for preserving the historical heritage and landscape of rural areas, particularly in the context of assessing and formulating preservation frameworks for traditional Chinese villages. Through the case study of Tangfang village’s new conservation plan, the research demonstrates that the value of traditional villages lies in the continuous interaction between daily activities and physical space, including landscape, functional, and spiritual dimensions. The study concludes that a preservation framework based on local residents’ daily lives ensures more effective heritage conservation and landscape preservation by addressing both material and human values.
