A 3rd place acts as an vital place in our daily life, aside from home as the 1st place or workplace as the 2nd place. 3rd place is a neutral public space, often seen as an alternative for some people. Everyone is welcome to visit and to do lots of activities on it. A 3rd place doesn’t have a fixed form, it can be anything the community around it needs it to be.Kawasan Senen was known as the centre of trade and art since forever. It can be seen from its history that became the birthplace of some of the finest artists in Indonesia. When Taman Ismail Marzuki was built on November 10th, 1968, the value of art in Kawasan Senen began to fade. But as time goes by, the value of art in Kawasan Senen begins to rise again. This event can be seen by the rise of art activities around Kawasan Senen such as Wayang Orang Bharata Purwa show that runs every Saturday, the free traditional dance classes that were held by Museum Kebangkitan Nasional and the emergence of Komunitas Planet Senen (KOPS) that actively trying to reintroduce the value of art to the Senen community. Senen Collective Art Space project was built on the hope to become the 3rd place to the community as well as providing and strengthening the value of Kawasan Senen. Keyword: Art in Senen; Collective Art; Neutral Public Space; Third Place AbstrakThe 3rd place merupakan tempat penting yang dibutuhan masyarakat, selain dari rumah sebagai the 1st place maupun tempat kerjanya sebagai 2nd place. 3rd place adalah ruang publik yang netral, sebagai tempat alternatif. Setiap orang dapat berkunjung dan melakukan berbagai aktivitas. Sebuah 3rd place dapat memiliki bentuk yang beragam, namun nyaman untuk beraktivitas sesuai dengan kehidupan dan budaya masyarakatnya. Kawasan Senen sejak dahulu dikenal sebagai pusat perdagangan dan kesenian yang cukup ramai. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari sejarah kawasannya yang menjadi tempat lahir beberapa seniman terkenal tanah air. Dibangunnya Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) pada 10 November 1968 membuat  nilai seni di Kawasan Senen ini sempat luntur. Namun seiring waktu, nilai seni dari Kawasan Senen mulai kembali naik. Hal ini ditandai dengan beberapa aktivitas berunsur seni yang mulai dilaksanakan kembali di Kawasan ini seperti pertunjukan Wayang Orang Bharata Purwa yang rutin diadakan setiap hari Sabtu sampai kursus menari tradisional yang diadakan secara gratis oleh Museum Kebangkitan Nasional dan juga munculnya Komunitas Planet Senen (KOPS) yang kerap berusaha memperkenalkan unsur seni kepada masyarakat Senen. Proyek Wadah Seni Kolektif Senen ini bertujuan untuk menjadi wadah 3rd place bagi warga serta memfasilitasi dan memperkuat kembali unsur seni di Kawasan Senen ini.

ABSTRACTAs more people experience old age as a time of growth and productivity, more research is needed that explores how they master everyday life. This paper reports on a qualitative study that explored how ten older women age 90 years or more experience and cope with the challenges of everyday life with a salutogenic perspective. The findings suggest that health resources such as positive expectation, reflection and adaptation, function and active contribution, relations and home, contribute to the health capital of women. These health resources were of importance for the women's experience of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness in daily life. Health capital is a meaningful concept for understanding coping in everyday life by older people.

The Impact

The main purpose of this paper is to explore and analyze the unknown Chinese emotions hidden behind the movement “Yuanchangbu,” and to find out the meaning behind it from a cultural and historical viewpoint. We will rediscover some of the silences in history and restore the psychology, emotion and movement of Chinese classical dance. Therefore, this paper will, firstly, set “Yuanchangbu” as a clue through which to explore how the movement in daily life developed into the movement of Chinese classical dance. Furthermore, due to the impact of ancient Chinese foot binding culture on the formation of “Yuanchangbu”, this paper, based on research of the movement, will also explore the era of foot binding. We will understand the changing progress of Chinese men and women’s lifestyle from the era of the natural-foot to foot binding. And at this moment trigger further thought on the culture and style of Chinese traditional dance by the “foot-binding culture.”

Abstract Summary Women with osteoporosis and back pain took part in focus group interviews and described their experiences of using and handling an activating spinal orthosis. The women described the back orthosis as being like a “close friend”, a support in everyday life and a reminder to maintain a good posture. Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe and gain a deeper understanding of the views of older women with osteoporosis and back pain seeking primary care regarding their use and handling of an activating spinal orthosis. Method We chose a qualitative method whereby information was gathered via focus group interviews and analysed using inductive content analysis. Women who previously participated in a randomised controlled trial and wore an activating spinal orthosis for 6 months were asked. Out of 31 women, 18 agreed to participate. Five focus group interviews were conducted. Results The analysis resulted in an overall theme in which the experiences of wearing the spinal orthosis were described as follows: “A well-adapted spinal orthosis could develop into a long-lasting friendship that provided support and help in daily life”. The overall theme was based on three main categories: impact on daily life, individual adaptation and personal relationship. The main categories were well differentiated from each other but had an interdependency. All three categories involved cases in which the spinal orthosis was perceived as relieving symptoms and making daily life easier, as well as when it was perceived as being hard to manage and provided no symptom relief. Conclusion In older women with osteoporosis and back pain, an activating spinal orthosis could be perceived as being a “close friend” and a support in everyday life. To facilitate acceptance of the spinal orthosis, it was important for it to be well adapted and for follow-ups to be carried out regularly.

Over Time

Balinese traditional dance and music are imbued with the values, cultural identity and artistic expression of the Balinese, with close links to the Hindu religion. Balinese Hindus in particular strongly believe that dance and music are mediums to bring them closer to the gods. In Bali, religion, art and culture are fused together in daily life. For the Balinese, no religious ceremony is complete without the presence of art and culture. Equally as important as dance and music, living in harmony with the environment for the sake of human survival is another strong conviction among the people of Bali. In addition to music and dance performances, nature is believed to hold many supernatural powers which cannot be understood by mankind. People are expected to maintain a harmonious relationship between all elements. This is why dance and music are continuously maintained and developed over time. The strong adherence of the Balinese people to Hinduism contributes to the preservation of traditional dance and music so that these traditions may never be lost. This paper was first presented on the Workshop of Hindu Art in Southeast Asia hosted by SEAMEO SPAFA, on May 28, 2017, at ISI Denpasar and has been peer-reviewed.

Important Goal

Research indicates that friendship contributes to wellbeing in later life in various ways: through the provision of companionship in daily life, support during stressful transitions, sustainment of identity under changing circumstances and adaptation to old age. However not all older people have friends available who fulfil these different functions. In order to promote wellbeing and reduce loneliness, an educational programme on friendship enrichment for older women has been developed and implemented in the Netherlands. The friendship programme's main goal is empowerment; it helps women clarify their needs in friendship, analyse their current social network, set goals in friendship and develop strategies to achieve goals. Reduction of loneliness, when present, is also an important goal of the programme. A study that followed 40 participants during the year after the programme demonstrates that a majority succeeded in developing new, or improving existing, friendships and in significantly reducing their loneliness. They also reported changes related to the self and social behaviour. Limitations of the research design, reflection on the feasibility of reducing loneliness through a single type of intervention, and possible applications of the programme's design to other areas, are presented in the discussion.
