A rapid-spreading epidemic of COVID-19 hit China at the end of 2019, resulting in unignorable social and economic damage in the epicenter, Wuhan. POIs capture the microscopic behavior of citizens, providing valuable information to understand city reactions toward the epidemic. Leveraging large-scale check-in records, we analyze the POI visit trends over the epidemic period and normal times. We demonstrate that COVID-19 greatly influences the society, where most POIs demonstrate more than 60% of visit drops during the city lockdown period. Among them, Tourist Attractions received greatest impact with a 78.8% drop. Entertainment, Food, Medical and Shopping are sensible to the disease before lockdown, and we identify these "early birds" to investigate the public reaction in the early stage of the epidemic. We further analyze the revival trends, generating four different revival patterns that correlated with the necessity of POI functions. Finally, we analyze the perseverance during the COVID-19, finding no large-scale closures compared with the tremendous visit drop. The strong resilience in Wuhan supports the rapid recovery of society. These findings are important for researchers, industries, and governments to understand the city respondence under severe epidemic, proposing better regulations to respond, control, and prevent public emergencies.

This article uses the materials of the Drezdensha affair, a large-scale investigation of “indecency” in St. Petersburg in 1750, to explore unofficial sociability among the Imperial elite, and to map out the institutional, social, and economic dimensions of the post-Petrine “sexual underworld.” Sociability and, ultimately, the public sphere in eighteenth century Russia are usually associated with loftier practices, with joining the ranks of the reading public, reflecting on the public good, and generally, becoming more civil and polite. Yet, it is the privately-run, commercially-oriented, and sexually-charged “parties” at the focus of this article that arguably served as a “training ground” for developing the habits of sociability. The world of these “parties” provides a missing link between the debauchery and carousing of Peter I's era and the more polite formats of associational life in the late eighteenth century, as well as the historical context for reflections on morality, sexual licentiousness, foppery, and the excesses of “westernization.”

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks by serotype O are dominant in Asia. Topotypes fall mostly into two groups – Southeast Asia (SEA) and Middle East-South Asia (ME-SA). FMD viruses of the SEA topotype (Mya-98 lineage) recently spread widely in Southeast Asia and East Asia. Economic damage by FMD outbreaks in Japan and Korea were very severe in 2010-2011. FMD outbreaks by serotype A are sporadically observed in the region. Serotype Asia 1 newly appeared in Pakistan from 2010 and Bahrain and Iran in 2011. Neighboring countries should take note that there is no matching vaccine available for Asia 1 at this moment. Preparing good matching vaccines is very important for controlling the disease in the Asian region. There are several good matching vaccines for the recent FMD outbreaks by type O (SEA topotype) and type A (Asia topotype). In some cases, however, such as recent outbreaks due to Asia 1 and SEA topotypes, no such matching vaccines are currently available. Officials in countries the region should therefore be aware that a good matching vaccine is not always available and without a good vaccine candidate, early detection and eradication of the disease are critical points in such cases as FMD. In addition, control tools that are different from FMD vaccine are required to prevent pandemic outbreaks and economic catastrophes. Since it takes 7 to 10 days for pigs to produce enough antibodies against FMD virus (FMDV) infection through vaccination, infected pigs continue to excrete a large amount of FMDV in the early stage of infection after emergency vaccination. It is often observed that FMD outbreaks in pigs become large-scale outbreaks and sometimes inflict serious economic damage. It is therefore desired to develop new prompt tools to inhibit FMDV infection or virus excretion from pigs. Antiviral agent exhibit much more prompt and faster effectiveness than vaccine in inhibiting virus excretion from infected animals. In order to inhibit FMDV excretion from infected pigs, which are called amplifiers in FMD, an antiviral agent, T-1105, an pyrazine carboxamide derivative, was developed as a novel tool expected to show prompt efficacy in controlling FMD in pigs.

Background Several countries adopted lockdown to slowdown the exponential transmission of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic. Disease transmission models and the epidemic forecasts at the national level steer the policy to implement appropriate intervention strategies and budgeting. However, it is critical to design a data-driven reliable model for nowcasting for smaller populations, in particular metro cities. Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the transition of the epidemic from subexponential to exponential transmission in the Chennai metro zone and to analyze the probability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) secondary infections while availing the public transport systems in the city. Methods A single geographical zone “Chennai-Metro-Merge” was constructed by combining Chennai District with three bordering districts. Subexponential and exponential models were developed to analyze and predict the progression of the COVID-19 epidemic. Probabilistic models were applied to assess the probability of secondary infections while availing public transport after the release of the lockdown. Results The model predicted that transition from subexponential to exponential transmission occurs around the eighth week after the reporting of a cluster of cases. The probability of secondary infections with a single index case in an enclosure of the city bus, the suburban train general coach, and the ladies coach was found to be 0.192, 0.074, and 0.114, respectively. Conclusions Nowcasting at the early stage of the epidemic predicts the probable time point of the exponential transmission and alerts the public health system. After the lockdown release, public transportation will be the major source of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in metro cities, and appropriate strategies based on nowcasting are needed.

<p class="PublicSpace-Keywords">In this paper we examine the effects of urban farming in a worldwide system of dismissed areas affected by the phenomena of large-scale industrial dismissing and shrinking cities. We study the features of urban decay and subsequent spill overs of land and soil use in private and public conduct in agri-urbanism. The connection between the city and its farmland could represent an opportunity to improve the welfare of the whole area near the city, made possible by establishing a close relationship between the development of sustainable agriculture and the city. This renewed interest in agricultural production not only depends on urban and - or economic interest, but on a new conception of city that can improve the use of agricultural gardening to overcompensate for the empty spaces between industrial and rural areas, as well as those peri-urban spaces which are included between buildings and sub-urban voids.</p>

<p>Wellington is a city defined by its hills, and the landscape and terrain have played a significant role in shaping urban growth. The steep terrain adds to Wellington’s striking landscape and contributes to ensuring the city remains compact. However, the incline has often been at odds with the city grid. ‘Paper roads’ or unformed legal roads are an outcome of this tension and provide a residual space in some of Wellington’s inner residential suburbs.  The problem of a growing population and lack of housing in Wellington is a well- documented and much discussed issue. Given this continually increasing demand for housing, the desire to conserve character suburbs often comes into conflict with desire to retain Wellington’s compact city form. Wellington City Council is currently undergoing a review of the Urban Growth plan, with the intention of developing strategies for a potential 80,000 new residents in the next 30 years.  This thesis suggests a possible method of further densifying proximate Wellington suburbs by utilising residual space provided by ‘paper streets’. More broadly, this thesis will develop and test a model of higher density housing in the identified residual spaces of existing suburbs. Although Wellington’s paper roads have special characteristics, including the public amenity provided and the close relationship to existing built fabric, they also provide the case studies for residential intensification on steep sites.  Existing practice for hillside projects largely conforms to the strategy of small elements tumbling down the hillside. The research explores an alternative approach, questioning the negative connotations associated with existing large scale projects. An iterative design process identifies and refines a series of design criteria in order to inform the possibility for intensifying development on these hillside sites. Analysis of the work and literature of celebrated Californian firm, MLTW, informs the approach to developing these sites. The consideration of the public pathway and the experience of inhabitation for both residents and members of the public emerges as a central to the design case study, and the resulting criteria.</p>

Banjarmasin dalam dunia kepariwisataan di Indonesia terkenal dengan kota seribu sungai. Sebagai salah satu daerah di Indonesia yang memiliki aliran sungai terbanyak membuat Banjarmasin juga dikenal sebagai kota dengan daya tarik pasar terapungnya. Di Kota Banjarmasin, pasar terapung yang dikenal luas oleh masyarakat dan sempat menjadi tema dari jargon salah satu televisi swasta di Indonesia adalah keberadaan Pasar Terapung Kuin. Seiring perkembangan zaman, kondisi Pasar Terapung Kuin saat ini mengalami kemunduran perkembangan. Banyak media baik online maupun surat kabar terbitan memberitakan tentang sepinya pembeli dan menurunnya jumlah pedagang yang berjualan di Pasar Terapung Kuin. Hal tersebut dikonfirmasi pula oleh beberapa pedagang yang tetap berjualan di Kuin. Melihat dari permasalahan tersebut kemudian pemerintah setempat melakukan tindakan guna menghidupkan kembali budaya sungai yang melekat erat sebagai image Kota Banjarmasin dengan membangun pasar terapung yang berada tepat berseberangan dengan titik 0 (nol) kilometer Kota Banjarmasin serta beberapa atraksi wisata lain di sekitar pasar terapung tersebut. Namun, sejak kehadiran Pasar Terapung Siring, jumlah kunjungan yang didata oleh pengelola menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan angka. Dimana Pasar Terapung Siring mampu mendatangkan tamu dengan angka mencapai sekitar 56.000-an (lima puluh enaman ribu), sementara kawasan Pasar Terapung Kuin hanya mampu menempati angka tertinggi dalam 1 tahun sebesar 3.000-an (tiga ribuan) pengunjung. Maka berdasarkan paparan tersebut dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pendekatan dengan metode penelitian triangulasi, menggunakan analisis kualitatif deskriptif dan analisis SWOT yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengelolaan kawasan Pasar Terapung Kuin dan Siring untuk kemudian memformulasi strategi pengembangan kawasan pasar terapung di Banjarmasin. Dalam temuan penelitian berdasarkan hasil analisis kualitatif yang dilakukan, ditemukan bahwa; sistem pengelolaan terhadap Pasar Terapung Kuin dan Siring memiliki perbedaan yaitu; infrastruktur yang dikembangkan lebih banyak dilakukan di Siring, peran serta masyarakat yang terlibat dalam mengelola kepariwisataan pasar terapung juga lebih terorganisir di Siring. Sementara untuk kawasan Kuin belum adanya organisasi atau asosiasi resmi yang dibentuk oleh warga sekitar guna menjalankan program pengelolaan dan pengembangan kawasan dalam usaha untuk menghidupkan kembali budaya sungai di Banjarmasin. Arahan strategi berdasarkan analisis SWOT adalah kawasan wisata pasar terapung di Banjarmasin idelanya memiliki strategi dalam hal penambahan produk, pasar dan fungsi-fungsi kawasan serta melakukan pemanfaatan kekuatan dan peluang yang dimiliki. Strategi pengembangan terhadap kawasan pasar terapung di Banjarmasin mampu dikembangkan dan dapat menjalankan strategi yang bersifat ofensif. Banjarmasin in the world of tourism in Indonesia known as the city of a thousand rivers. Banjarmasin is one of the areas in Indonesia that has the most river flow so that makes Banjarmasin also known as a city who has Floating Market. In the city of Banjarmasin, Floating Market (Kuin Floting market) widely known by the public after appeared in one of television in Indonesia as their theme of television slogan. Currently, Kuin floating market condition is on a decline in development. Many media such as online and newspaper published preach about the less of buyers and the declining number of traders who sell in Kuin Floating Market. It is also confirmed by some traders who keep selling in Kuin. Based on that case then the local government taken the action to revive the culture of the embedded river as the image of Banjarmasin City by builded a floating market that is near to the center of the city and became a part of tourist attractions in Banjarmasin. However the number of visitors that recorded by the manager shown a gap between Kuin and Siring. Where Siring floating market can bring guests with numbers reaching 56.000 visitors but Kuin floating market area is only able to occupy the highest lift in 1 year of 3.000 visitors. So based on that case, this research approached with trianggulation research method, using descriptive qualitative analysis and SWOT analysis which aims to identify the management of Kuin and Siring floating market area and then make a formulation of the development strategy of Floating Market area in Banjarmasin. This research found that; the management system of Kuin and Siring floating market has the difference action; Many Infrastructure developed has done in Siring, the participation of communities involved in managing tourism of the floating market and makes Siring also more organized. However, Kuin area hasn’t official organization or association formed by local people to run the program of management and development of the area in an effort to revive the river culture in Banjarmasin. Strategy directives based on SWOT analysis are; Floating market tourism area in Banjarmasin ideally has a strategy in terms of addition of products, markets and functions of the region by using their strengths and opportunities. Development strategy for floating market area in Banjarmasin could be able to develop and run the offensive strategy.

Covid-19 Pandemic has become a worldwide issue that also impacts Indonesia. An adaptive and agile governance system is needed to overcome the pandemic issue in both central and regional. One area that is considered successful is Surabaya City. Even so, there is a phenomenon of the high number of Covid-19 positives rates in Surabaya. It indicated that this is a form of policy hampered by local culture. Arek Suroboyo and their cangkrukan were contradicting due to the government's policy regarding large-scale social restrictions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze agile governance form in the implementation of Surabaya City Government policies in handling Covid-19. Then, identify the impacts that occur on policies due to the culture and custom of Arek Suroboyo. The method used is qualitative descriptive with the questioner and related documents-based analysis. Its results showed that with the existence of decentralization, regional policies were influenced by the central government strategy. Regarding the Central Government's Instruction, the public policies taken handling Covid-19 in the City of Surabaya includes promotional, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative efforts. The dominant concept of agile governance in this policy is "based on quick wins policy" in which one public policy stimulates another. With this effort, the City of Surabaya has passed the first wave of Covid-19 in its region. Nevertheless, the implementation of the policy was hampered by the culture of Arek Suroboyo, namely cangkrukan. Even the worst impact is that this culture potentially conducts the second wave of Covid-19 in Surabaya City.
