Every nation has its own ways of telling its national story. Such narratives attempt to incorporate and explain the terms of a nation's history, culture, language, territory, economic welfare, and its citizens' sense of belonging. Some national stories are more complicated than others and require specific terminology to describe their nation and its “other.” Belarus is one of these complicated cases. Belarusian national character is often defined by the concept of tuteishaść, or “localness,” by which the people of Belarus identify themselves in relation to other nations and countries.

The challenge of transforming an empty space into a gallery setting takes on the concept of place making. A place can be seen as space that has meaning when the setting considers space, surroundings, contents, the people and its activities. This research concentrates on investigating how visitors perceive the space by gauging their sense of place (sense of belonging towards a place). Galleries are currently facing changes in this technological era whereby multiple content and context, space and form, display modes, tools and devices are introduced in one single space. An observational study was done during the Foundation Studies Annual Exhibition held at Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University. The exhibition was curated and managed by staff and students of Foundation Year showcasing an array of design works. Analogue and digital presentations of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and video works were displayed.. The outcome of this research will contribute towards a better design criteria of place making which affects individual behaviour, social values and attitudes. Characterizing types of visitor experience will improve the understanding of a better design criteria of place making, acceptance, understanding and satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the ideological dimensions of the Soviet Moldavian historiographical discourse concerning the question whether the territory of Moldavia belonged to the medieval Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia or not. We have shown that, between the late 1930s and the early 1950s, this discourse was deeply marked by the Stalinist resuscitation of pan-Russian and pan-Slavic ideology, by the Soviet-Romanian dispute over Bessarabia, as well as by the campaign of inoculating the people of this province and of RASSM with the sense of belonging to the Eastern Slavic world and, therefore, to the USSR. At the time, in addition to the argument asserting that the territory of Moldavia had formerly belonged to the Galicia-Volhynia, the medieval Moldavian state was estimated to have partially owned its existence to this very kingdom

The article deals with the verbal world picture analysis through the prism of English phraseology and the peculiarities of phraseologization of phrases in view of the culturally motivated vision of the world by particular linguistic communities. The objective of this paper is a study of phraseological (set) expressions in order to identify ontological and cultural components in language. The certain tendency of illustrating verbal world picture in phraseological (set) expressions was revealed. The study has demonstrated that phraseological (set) expressions, which most vividly illustrate the British cultural identity, are genetically linked to the most common and widespread areas of human activity, namely food, the natural world that surrounds us, and certain "endemic" phenomena of British life. The phraseological picture of the world acts as a set of knowledge about the world and can give a complete description of a particular nation or people. The examples of phraseological set expressions given allow us to see the phraseological composition of language reflects cultural identity not only as a fragment of reality, given to the ethnic community in immediate perception, but also the lifestyle, beliefs, worldviews, national character, temperament, value system - the mentality of the people, their social consciousness in general. Thus, the phraseology becomes a certain extra-linguistic reality that not only realizes the linguistic consciousness and perception of the speaker, but alsoforms a vision through the prism of phraseology, which is based on the cultural territorial perception of a nation.

Neighbourhood Perceptions

Most of the contemporary literature on the neighbourhood comes from US or European sources where there are sharp contrasts with East Asian cities in terms of the physical form, residential densities and in relation to ideas of community and kinship. This paper reports on a study carried out in Hong Kong which was designed to explore the extent to which western preoccupations with neighbourhood resonate in a high rise, high density Chinese city. As a precursor to a larger scale study interviews were carried out with fifteen individuals in three contrasting locations: a New Town estate, an older, inner city area and a middle class housing estate. The interviews explored inter alia neighbourhood perceptions, ideas of community, sense of belonging and sense of place among contemporary Hong Kong residents. When Yuan Ssu became Confucius' steward he was given nine hundred measures of grain, which he declined. The Master said, ‘Can you not find a use for it in helping the people in your neighbourhood?’ (The Analects, Book VI).

Sidotopo Village, Kedungsari Village, North Magelang, Magelang City is a densely populated area and a wide variety of people live in the area. The characteristics of the people who live in the area are diverse in their occupations and education, some residents do not receive formal education and some residents also work odd jobs, ranging from garbage collectors, food sellers and others. Awareness of a clean, healthy and characterized life seems to be lacking in local residents, as evidenced by the fact that there are still people who throw garbage in the river, do not recognize the importance of exercise and food intake with good nutrition, and lack of understanding of national character in terms of defending the country. Mentoring/socialization about clean, healthy and character living is a solution in forming a healthy and characterized society. The assistance provided to the community is an understanding of clean living, an understanding of the importance of maintaining health by exercising, and the importance of having a strong national character. So there is great hope to add insight to the community to be able to live healthy and have character in Sidotopo Village. Keywords: Clean Living, Healthy Exercise, Love for the Motherland.Kampung Sidotopo Kelurahan Kedungsari Magelang Utara Kota Magelang merupakan daerah yang padat penduduk dan beraneka ragam masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah tersebut. Karakteristik masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah tersebut beraneka ragam pekerjaan dan pendidikanya, beberapa penduduk ada yang tidak mengenyam pendidikan secara formal dan beberapa penduduk juga ada yang bekerja serabutan, mulai dari pengepul rongsok, penjual makanan dan lain-lain. Kesadaran akan hidup bersih, sehat dan berkarakter nampaknya kurang dirasakan oleh penduduk sekitar, terbukti dengan masih adanya masyarakat yang membuang sampah di kali, tidak mengenalnya pentingnya olahraga dan asupan makanan dengan gizi yang baik, serta kurangnya pemahaman tentang karakter kebangsaan dalam hal bela negara. Pendampingan/sosialisasi tentang hidup bersih, sehat dan berkarakter merupakan solusi dalam membentuk masyarakat sehat dan berkarakter. Pendampingan yangh diberikan kepada masyarakat yaitu pemahaman akan hidup bersih, pemahaman pentingnya menjaga kesehatan dengan berolahraga, serta pentingnya memiliki karakter kebangsaan yang kuat. Sehingga besar harapan menambah wawasan masyarakat untuk dapat hidup sehat dan berkarakter di kampung sidotopo. Kata kunci: Hidup Bersih, Sehat Berolahraga, Cinta Tanah Air.

This paper focuses on finding answers to the reasons why people keep living in the slums and why they cannot get out of their precarious conditions. This paper looks into different reasons for people being stuck in slums from a religious perspective. Reasons for different religious groups being stuck in slums are not explored fully in the literature. The analysis draws on qualitative research with a sample of 53 semi-structured interviews conducted in 8 katchi abadis in Islamabad, Pakistan. The study shows that slums are nonhomogenous entities and are regarded as a living organism that provide safety, security, and a sense of belonging to some of the residents. The results revealed that both Christian and Muslim slum residents had different reasons for living in slums. There were not only inter-religious differences in the choice of living but intra religious differences had also been found. In the process, the paper highlights that most Christians lived in slums by choice due to strong social capital, with an exception of a few. On the other hand, Muslim slum residents lived in poverty which was a major reason most of the slum dwellers are stuck in slums. Policymakers should meet the needs of the people before implementing any policies. This is because relocation policies can bring misery to some of the slum dwellers. Finally, the paper demonstrated that slums play a pivotal role in the lives of the slum dwellers in keeping them.
