Urban social sustainability represents a more specific part of urban development. Citizen involvement is a vital element of any future urban social development and helps to maintain the vision of human and diverse cities because it provides vibrant and sustainable cities in which everyone has a seat and can speak. Gellerupparken, as something new, also meets all five criteria for when an area is a ghetto during a given year. The criteria generally consist of income, ethnic origin, level of education, crime, and employment. The study’s aim is to present an objective means, to the reactivation of a passive multicultural zone in Aarhus city of Denmark to integrate it in the social life city by using the appreciative inquiry method by an introduction of new city functions. The study will assume the effect of sustainability in an urban social area, in a case study using the application of the pedagogical method, namely, the “appreciative inquiry” method.

The action research method of appreciative inquiry (AI) was employed to develop a teaching tool. This exercise involves students’ reflections on a course, noting when they learned the most. The AI process of appreciating, envisioning, dialoging, and innovating is used to help students reflect on how they learn. Instructors of all types of courses at both the undergraduate and master’s degree levels gain understanding of student learning and ideas on how to improve courses. The exercise and sample responses from students are provided to demonstrate how the exercise works. Three variations are presented: mapping the exercise onto Kolb’s learning styles, running the exercise at the midpoint of a course, and a case study of an AI implementation in an organization.

Penggunaan metode, pendekatan belajar mengajar dan orientasi belajar menyebabkan aktivitas belajar setiap siswa berbeda-beda. Ketidaksamaan aktivitas belajar siswa melahirkan kadar aktivitas belajar yang bergerak dari aktivitas belajar yang rendah sampai aktivitas belajar yang tinggi. Upaya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, guru perlu menciptakan suasana pembelajaran yang lebih bervariasi. Jika guru biasa menggunakan metode ceramah, maka selanjutnya guru dapat menggunakan metode inquiry. Metode inquiry dapat meningkatkan aktivitas belajar siswa lebih baik lagi. Guru dapat menerapkan metode pembelajaran yang dapat membuat siswa antusias dalam belajar dan juga membuat pembelajaran tidak membosankan. Metode yang digunakan penelitian ini adalah action research (penelitian tindakan). Rancangan dalam penelitian tindakan ini terbagi atas empat tahapan, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaa, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Subjek dalam penelitian tindakan kelas ini adalah siswa kelas XI IIS 2 29 siswa dan seorang guru geografi. Penelitian memerlukan teknik pengumpul data adalah observasi langsung, komunikasi langsung dan dokumenter. Alat pengumpul datanya adalah lembar observasi, wanwancara dan dokumenter. Indikator keberhasilan aktivitas belajar siswa minimal 70% siswa aktif dalam belajar. Hasil aktivitas belajar mengalami peningkatan sebesar 15% dari siklus I ke siklus II yakni pada siklus I aktivitas siswa muncul 62% dan aktivitas tidak muncul  sebesar 38% pada siklus II terdapat peningkatan aktivitas belajar siswa muncul sebesar 78% dan aktivitas tidak muncul sebesar 22%The use of methods, teaching and learning approaches and learning orientation causes the learning activities of each student to be different. The inequality of student learning activities gives rise to levels of learning activities that move from low learning activities to high learning activities. In order to overcome this problem, teachers need to create a more varied learning atmosphere. If the regular teacher uses the lecture method, then the teacher can then use the inquiry method. The inquiry method can improve student learning activities even better. Teachers can apply learning methods that can make students enthusiastic about learning and also make learning less boring. The method used in this research is action research (action research). The design in this action research is divided into four stages, namely planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The subjects in this classroom action research were 29 students of class XI IIS 2 and a geography teacher. Research requires data collection techniques are direct observation, direct communication and documentary. The data collection tools are observation sheets, interviews and documentaries. Indicators of the success of student learning activities at least 70% of students are active in learning. The results of learning activities increased by 15% from cycle I to cycle II, namely in cycle I student activity appeared 62% and activity did not appear by 38% in cycle II there was an increase in student learning activities appeared by 78% and activity did not appear for 22%.

Low Threshold Service

PurposeThis paper reports on the findings of an action research study that sought to explore the development and provision of community-based low-threshold services within a socially disadvantaged area. In the context of debates, in regard to both the nature and efficacy of low-threshold drugs services and increasingly neo-liberal policy approaches to drug service provision that prioritise outcomes and drug treatment interventions, the purpose of this paper is to report on practitioners’ understandings of challenges, relationship building and outcomes within community-based low-threshold service provision in Dublin, Ireland.Design/methodology/approachAn action research method of co-operative inquiry groups was utilised, with nine practitioners from one community-based drug agency participating in a series of four sessions over a three-month period.FindingsThree key themes emerged in relation to building and sustaining client–practitioner relationships: the mechanisms by which the practitioners engaged with their clients and sought to develop relationships; how safe spaces were created and maintained in order to address client needs; and practitioners’ understanding of challenges and outcomes in low-threshold intervention work.Originality/valueDrawing on a co-operative inquiry method, this paper concludes that practitioner attention to relational distance evidenced in community-based low-threshold service provision, may provide an alternative to episodic, outcome driven drug treatment and intervention.
