Multidimensional Concept

This article explores the multidimensional concept of home through the relationship of the self and the city. The case study is Tokyo, and sense of home and homelike activities of its young dwellers are explored, analyzed, and discussed within the integrated unity of their spatial, sociocultural, and psychological/temporal properties. Semistructured interviews were conducted in order to grasp the rhythm and the dynamics of the daily lives of the respondents and to recognize significant places in the city where homelike activities happen. As a result, a dispersed model of home is revealed, which is juxtaposed to the existing, more traditional, concept. In this model, home becomes a territory, a collection, or network of (semi)public and (semi)private places connected by routes made by an individual who gives them specific values and meanings. Spatially, home is transposed from the singular space of a house/dwelling to a field of activities and actions, giving the city and its systems significant roles.

Following the analysis of documents, the results of participant observation, expert and group interviews, an assessment was made of the historical foundations of the cultural landscape of the city, potentially expanding the prospects of urban projects with youth participation, included or excluded from their practice of organizing them in the “cultural capital of Armenia”. The features of the relationship of the cultural landscape of Gyumri as a city that survived not only the Genocide of 1915–1923, but also the earthquakes of 1989 and 1999, with the level and focus of youth initiatives of the 2020s were revealed.

ResumoO presente trabalho apresenta uma investigação sobre o processo de escuta musical em smartphones. Tem como foco alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Música e visa compreender como estudantes de música realizam suas escutas musicais por meio de smartphones. A pesquisa é um desdobramento e ao mesmo tempo aprofundamento de questões abordadas em outra pesquisa, desenvolvida por meio do Programa de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC), que fez um levantamento mais amplo sobre tal processo. Desta vez, no entanto, realiza-se um estudo de casos, buscando responder a questões referentes às funções da escuta musical em smartphones e a relação da escuta musical com a formação recebida no curso de licenciatura. A investigação foi realizada com três alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Música da Universidade do Estado do Pará e para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se as entrevistas semiestruturadas, que após sua conclusão, foram todas devidamente transcritas e analisadas. A pesquisa encontra-se concluída.AbstractThis paper presents an investigation about the process of listening to music on smartphones. It focuses on students of the Licenciatura Course in Music and aims to understand how music students perform their listening through smartphones. The research is an unfolding and at the same time deepening of issues addressed in another research, developed through the Program of Scientific Initiation (PIBIC), which made a broader survey on this process. This time, however, a case study is conducted, seeking to answer questions related to the functions of listening to music on smartphones and the relationship of listening to music with the training received in the undergraduate course. The research was carried out with three students of the Licentiate Course in Music of the State University of Pará and for the collection of the data the semistructured interviews were used, which, after their conclusion, were all properly transcribed and analyzed. The search is complete.

Local and suburban newspapers have not generally received a ‘good press’, at least in the relevant academic literature. This article argues that it is time to reconsider the roles and responsibilities of these newspapers in the light of discussions surrounding the nature of community and of community cohesion and conservatism, as well as the relationship of the local to the global. A case study of two Gold Coast newspapers — a suburban and a daily — concludes that, while the suburban paper relies on traditional hard news journalism with little overt recognition of community, the daily pursues a ‘sometimes obsessive’ search for local meaning, image and identity.

This article discusses the struggles of urban social movements for a de-neoliberalisation of housing policies in Poulantzian terms as a “condensation of the relationship of forces”. Drawing on an empirical analysis of the “Berliner Mietenvolksentscheid” (Berlin rent referendum), which was partially successful in forcing the city government of Berlin to adopt a more progressive housing policy, the article argues that urban social movements have the capacity to challenge neoliberal housing regimes. However, the specific materiality of the state apparatus and its strategic selectivity both limit the scope of intervention for social movements aiming at empowerment and non-hierarchical decision-making.

The retail market in Vietnam continues to grow with the entry of foreign retail brands and the strong rise of domestic businesses in expanding distribution networks and conquering consumer confidence. The appearance of more retail brands has created a fiercely competitive market. Based on the outcomes of previous research results on brand choice intention combined with a customer survey, the paper proposes an analytical framework and scales to examine the relationship of five elements including store image, price perception, risk perception, brand attitudes, brand awareness and retail brand choice intention with a case study of the Hanoi-based Circle K convenience store chain. These five elements are the precondition for retail businesses to develop their brands so as to attract customers.

Cooperation Policy

Several studies have shown that the success of interregional cooperation may be influenced by coordination, commitment, participation, variance of cooperation, structure, format of cooperation, and political will. Nevertheless, these factors do not stand alone since actor relations as a determining aspect is capable of driving those factors effectively. This article aims to examine the aspect of actor relations as a contributing factor that determines successful cooperation among regions. This is a qualitative research with the policy of inter-regional cooperation of the Banjarbakula Program, South Kalimantan Province from February 2017 to February 2018, set as its object of study. The result of this study states that the success of inter-regional cooperation is influenced by the relationship of actors in development factors as suggested by previous experts. The actors involved in the inter-regional cooperation examined in this case had become triggers of coordination, commitment, and participation toward success and failure, as well as the effectiveness of regional cooperation policy. Structural obstacles, ego-centric character, minimum budget availability, and non-visionary planning could be overcome as long as actor relations were properly managed.
