The Covid-19 pandemic has led many people to reduce gathering outside their homes. The imposition of social restrictions and territorial quarantine has caused social unrest in many sectors of society. This social unrest occurs because economic activities have stopped or decreased suddenly and income has decreased drastically. Social unrest is an escalation process that must be handled immediately so that it does not escalate to a higher level. The level of social unrest begins with disappointment with a policy experienced by a community. This social unrest is experienced by Betawi’s traditional arts and culture performers in Jakarta due to a sudden decrease in the number of artistic and cultural activities that have an impact on their economic activities. Their social unrest data is then collected by Jakarta Capital City Government, through the Jakarta Culture Office via an intensive interview with Betawi’s traditional arts and culture figures. The results of the interviews were identified and then used as the basis for formulating policies that could reduce social unrest in the Betawi arts and cultural performers. Preventing social unrest from moving to a greater level means preventing greater handling costs that have to be carried out at a larger level.

This article examines the ‘Documents owned by the Ethnic Chinese Association of Incheon’ (hereafter: dcai) and looks which light these shed on the economic activities of the ethnic Chinese in Incheon in the mid-1930s. The dcai materials provide important insights into the economic structure and into the activities in which the ethnic Chinese were involved in Incheon during the 1930s. I have reviewed the economic roles played by the ethnic Chinese residents of Incheon in the mid-1930s by using dcai materials. Previous studies have revealed that the economic activities of the ethnic Chinese in Korea in the 1930s diminished, and imports from China decreased as a result of the anti-Chinese riots, which occurred in July 1931. In this paper, I have shown that the ethnic Chinese in Incheon were no exception. The amount of remittances that Chinese merchants sent back to China decreased considerably, and import goods from China, particularly from Shanghai, also went through a sudden decrease. Consequently, the ethnic Chinese representative commercial firms went bankrupt in succession. (This article is in English.) 本文探討了仁川華僑協會所藏的資料,分析了20世紀30年代中期仁川華僑的經濟活動。該資料總結硏討了30年代仁川華僑的經濟構造和經濟活動,作爲極有價値的原始資料得到了很高的評價。本文首先利用該資料對30年代中期各行業的仁川華僑在經濟上的作用進行了分析。先行硏究的結果已表明,30年代朝鮮華僑的貿易與商業活動由于1931年的排華事件而大爲減少,本次硏究結果證明仁川華僑也不例外。仁川華僑的對中滙款額和進口額急据地縮減,因此仁川華僑企業總數也急据地減少。

Rapid landuse change in an urban area is inevitable. Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia is experiencing rapid landuse change. Jakarta is the centre of administration, economic activities, and entertainment pull people coming in to Jakarta. The dynamics of demography in Jakarta influences landuse change strongly. This research use three districts in Jakarta to see how landuse change over period of time. They are Penjaringan, Cengkareng, and Cakungsubdistrict. By combining landuse data, demographic features, and spatial data, such as satellite imagery, landuse change can be monitored and explained. The most significant landuse changes are industrial area and settlements. Both landuses are expanding. Meanwhile open spaces are decresing in size. This happens due to high demand of settlements caused by migrants coming in to work in industrial are. The result of this phenomenon is slum area in the city and lack of opened green spaces that can degrade environmental quality.

Abstract Background: On December 31, 2019, multiple pneumonia cases, subsequently identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was reported for the first time in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province in China. At that time, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission had report 27 cases, of which seven are severely ill, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Since, then, the spread of COVID-19 has already taken on pandemic proportions, affecting over 100 countries in a matter of weeks. As of September 07, 2020, there had been more than 27 million confirmed cases and 889,000 total deaths, with an average mortality of about 3.3%, globally. In Ethiopia, 58,672 confirmed cases and 918 deaths and this number are likely to increase exponentially. It is critical to detect clusters of COVID-19 to better allocate resources and improve decision-making as the pandemics continue to grow.Methods: We have collected the individual-level information on patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 on daily bases from the official reports of the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), regional, and city government of Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa health bureaus. Using the daily case data, we conducted a prospective space-time analysis with SaTScan version 9.6. We detect statistically significant space-time clusters of COVID-19 at the woreda and sub-city level in Ethiopia between March 13th-June 6th, 2020, and March 13th-June 24th, 2020.Results: The prospective space-time scan statistic detected “alive” and emerging clusters that are present at the end of our study periods; notably, nine more clusters were detected when adding the updated case data.Conclusions: These results can notify public health officials and decision-makers about where to improve the allocation of resources, testing areas; also, where to implement necessary isolation measures and travel bans. As more confirmed cases become available, the statistic can be rerun to support timely surveillance of COVID-19, demonstrated here. In Ethiopia, our research is the first geographic study that utilizes space-time statistics to monitor COVID-19.

 There have been some cases indicating the dissatisfaction of traditional communities with regards to tourism that does not economically contribute to their cultural activities. The legal issue raised in this writing is the lack of, or maybe the abstention of, a regulation that specifically regulates indigenous culture as a tourism economic resource. This article is aimed at describing and analyzing relevant international and national instruments that regulate the issues of indigenous culture and economic activities of tourism. The cases of Indonesia, especially Bali, compared with Australia are the focus of this article. It has been found that Indonesian laws and regulations are insufficient to protect culture as a tourism economic resource. In contrast, Australia has adopted a trichotomous approach wherein economic, social and cultural factors are separate and can be managed separately, an approach that has had mixed results.

This paper describes the community-driven enumerations undertaken in Old Fadama, the largest informal settlement in Accra, which has long been threatened with eviction. After meeting with members of shack dweller federations from other nations, residents formed the Ghana Homeless People’s Federation in 2003 (now known as the Ghana Federation of the Urban Poor (GHAFUP). Together with the NGO People’s Dialogue on Human Settlements, they supported the first community-driven enumeration in Old Fadama in 2004 to counter the threat of eviction, by showing the large scale of economic activities in the community and the gap in accurate population data. This was followed by further enumerations, in 2006–2007 and in 2009, to counter new eviction threats from new city governments. These enumerations increased the residents’ confidence, empowering them in terms of engagement with city government. They also changed government’s perspective on informal settlements and helped shape policy away from forced evictions towards participatory relocations or rehabilitation.

Following the trend of cities throughout the United States subsidizing new baseball stadiums within their economic redevelopment strategies, in 2005, the city government of Washington, D.C. agreed to subsidize the construction of Nationals Park for the use of the Washington Nationals baseball team. In its design of the stadium, HOK Sport architects sought to represent the “transparency of democracy” as they were inspired by the democratic image and iconography of the US Capital city. Using a perspective based in Lefebvre’s (1991b) production of space, I explore the power relations produced and reproduced within spatial and cultural production. I argue that instead of creating an inclusive space, architects designed a space that exemplifies the late capitalist moment in its focus on consumption, social control, and aesthetic production. Nationals Park, thus, excludes people by class, privileges visitors over residents, and provides an unrealistic view of the city that marginalizes less powerful groups.
