Place Attachment Masyarakat di RW 04, Kelurahan Polehan, Kota Malang

The settlement area in RW 04 is determined as one of the priority areas that the Government of Malang City should overcome from slum problems. Slum factors in RW 04 are caused by density settlement, unlivable residential area, and environmental pollution by the community activities. Therefore, the local government creates a program to diminish the slum and to support the 100-0-100 Program as well. The effort to overcome the slum problems is done through a progam called PLPBK (Penataan Lingkungan Permukiman Berbasis Komunitas) which can affect community place attachment. Hence, the community image of RW 04 would change from a slum into a clean and beautiful residential area. The environmental transformation in RW 04 could strengthen place attachment and as a result, the people feel more comfortable, proud, and safe. This study aims to identify community place attachment in RW 04, Polehan, Malang and the analysis used is descriptive statistics. This research shows that the community would have a strong place attachment as long as the respondents have the willingness to develop place attachment through experience, intensity of social interaction, the possession of valuable object, action or effort to control the environment, the length of resident, do not migrate, and RW 04 that is able to replace the childhood memories of immigrant. The strong place attachment is affected by the respondents characteristics as well, and as a result, they tend to have willingness to live in RW 04.

Antecedents and Consequences of Entrepreneur Imaginativeness

This article aims to develop the entrepreneurial imaginativeness model (creative imaginativeness, social imaginativeness, practical imaginativeness) towards new product development performance with the antecedent of experience intensity. The respondents of this study are the 220 leaders of the Batik Micro Small and Medium Enterprises. The analysis technique in this study uses Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS software. The finding of this study is the main priority of entrepreneurial imaginativeness model development towards new product development performance by increasing creative imaginativeness, with indicators as follows: (1) I consider myself to be inventive; (2) I consider myself to be innovative; (3) I demonstrate originality in my work; and (4) I like to create original work. Creative imaginativeness is developed by experience intensity with the indicators as follows: (1) Business management; (2) Handling consumer complaints; (3) Good relations with outside parties; and (4) Handling dynamics.

The impact of visitors’ experience intensity on in-situ destination image formation

Purpose This study aims to shed some light on destination image formation by exploring whether image is altered as a result of tourists’ experience intensity with a destination. Design/methodology/approach A visitor experience intensity index was developed based on the amount of events and attractions visitors have already attended/visited or were planning to attend/visit during their stay. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and the total sample consisted of 400 tourists in Linz, Austria. Principal component analysis, multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis were applied to analyse the data. Findings The findings indicate that the higher the experience intensity score, the more favourable the cognitive and affective evaluations of destination image, indicating that tourists’ experiences are central in the formation of the in situ image. Research limitations/implications The “level of psychological involvement” with the destination should be considered by future studies, as this paper focussed on level of experience intensity. Practical implications This paper supports the effective and innovative solutions for place marketing and branding of tourist destinations such as promoting experiences that further enhance destination image. The study also assists places with bad reputation or negative image, like the selected case study (Linz, Austria), in repositioning themselves as attractive experience providers. Originality/value The paper’s originality lies in applying “mere exposure theory” in tourism and using an innovative way of measuring tourists’ experience through an intensity index. The study addresses a significant, but still neglected image determinant, that of experience intensity, contributing to a better understanding of the in situ destination image formation process.

“Success by Association”: The Impact of Venture Capital Firm Reputation Trend on Initial Public Offering Valuations

Organizational theory recognizes reputation as a central element to understanding the firm. Examining investor valuations of 1,676 initial public offerings (IPOs) in the United States from 1990 to 2011, we find that reputation transfer through an association of an IPO firm with a venture capital (VC) firm represents a resource whose value can increase/decrease over time depending on investors’ valuations of prior IPOs funded by a VC firm. We conclude that the impact of reputation transfer through association is not unidirectional but, instead, is to be viewed in the context of prior reputational development of organizations the focal firm is associated with. Furthermore, we find that three “transfer enhancers” can improve the impact of VC firm reputation transfer on IPO valuations, including the VC firm’s past experience intensity, the diversity of IPO experiences, and the number of prior syndicated IPOs involving the VC firm as a lead investor.

Understanding Therapists’ Work With Suicidal Patients: An Examination of Qualitative Data

The collaborative assessment and management of suicidality (CAMS) serves as a framework for maintaining a collaborative relationship between the therapist and patient. This study used an original coding manual to examine responses to open-ended questions to better understand the ways in which therapists use CAMS collaboratively as well as their reasons for adhering (or not adhering) to certain aspects of the framework. Results suggest differences in treatment application based on therapist characteristics including amount of experience, intensity of training received, and experience of a patient suicide attempt. Implications of this research include informing therapists interested in using the CAMS framework about the specific ways in which implementation can be made collaborative. Further, this research helps to shed light on how experiencing a client’s death by suicide can impact therapists’ future work with suicidal clients.

Experience Value or Satiety? The Effects of the Amount and Variety of Tourists’ Activities on Perceived Experience

Recently, tourist companies and destinations have moved from designing products to focusing on creating experiences that engage and involve the tourist. Although the intensity (intensiveness) and variety of the experience (extensiveness) leads tourists to feel their experience has been livelier and richer and to appraise it positively, it might also bring unwanted consequences such as a feeling of saturation. The present study seeks to explore the role played by the value of perceived experience and of satiety as mediators between experience intensity and variety as well as future visitor behavior. The empirical study reveals that the variety of activities improves the perceived experience value, whereas investing too much time reduces the value and causes satiety in the tourist. Moreover, while the experience value reinforces the intention to return, the intention to recommend and the intensification of the experience, the feeling of satiety reduces the intention to return and recommend.

Identifying tools for capturing the overall experience of dyspnea in a lung cancer population: The patient’s perspective.

73 Background: Efficient methods of tracking dyspnea can improve quality of care. We asked lung cancer patients to assess five validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools and determine whether these tools captured different domains of their dyspnea experience. Methods: This cross-sectional study of adult lung cancer outpatients of all stages utilized touch screen tablets to administer five dyspnea tools (Borg severity (B), Reduced Cancer Dyspnea (R), Breathlessness intensity (I), breathlessness distress (D), and MRC breathlessness (M) scales) that focused on the severity, experience, intensity, extent, and functional impairment of dyspnea, respectively. Patients were then asked whether each tool captured their dyspnea experience. Results: Of 226 lung cancer patients, 120 reported some level of dyspnea, and their responses were analyzed. Median age (range) was 67 (30-97) years; 53% were males; 37% were stage I-II; 56%, were stage III-IV. All the tools except B were completed by over 90% of patients (R 95%, I 93%, D 91%, M 91%). 71% of patients thought that M captured functional impairment well, while 58-62% of patients thought that R, S, A captured experience, intensity and distress well. B had the lowest completion rate (83%) and the lowest patient perception that is captured severity of dyspnea well (49%). Qualitative analysis suggests that most dyspnea is activity-related in this population, which would be consistent with patients favoring M (functional assessment) over B (dyspnea at present in clinic). I+D+M takes under 5 minutes to complete, whilst R takes 5+ minutes alone to complete. Conclusions: In a sample of cancer patients with high prevalence of dyspnea, patients felt four of five tools were useful in capturing various domains of their dyspnea experience. The majority of patients felt that the questions were relevant to their circumstances. I, D, M are appropriate screening tools, whilst R may be useful under specific circumstances. Our next step is the application and evaluation of self management tools in the dyspnea setting using these four tools.

Factors explaining the use-value of sport event experiences

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model explaining the value of event experiences. Design/methodology/approach – Three versions of the explanatory model are tested by regression analysis of data from a survey of 650 visitors to a sports event. Findings – The three model versions are significant and explain the value of event experiences with satisfactory R2 values (0.29, 0.46 and 0.68) using the concepts “Extent of visit”, “Experience intensity” and “Expenditure”. The measures of event experiences (Use-Value, Direct Use-Value as well as Indirect Use-Value) meet requirements for reliability and validity. Originality/value – The paper reveals that explanatory models are basic but novel in a sports event context and provide a basis for further research. Furthermore, the definition of Indirect Use-Value has been clarified and adapted for higher relevance to destination managers focusing on event tourism.
