Parsana Health Centre Private Limited, a part of the INR 4,500 crore1 fitness industry, was a fitness centre established at Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in India in December 2002, as an integral part of the organized players of the fitness industry. It had been relentlessly working towards creating and nurturing a healthy lifestyle for the people of Ahmedabad over the previous two eventful decades. Under the able guidance of skilled trainers and dieticians, the fitness enthusiast could enjoy state of the art gym facilities, in the upcoming mega city of Ahmedabad. Parsana Health Centre Private Limited enjoyed the first mover advantage in Ahmedabad and tapped the fitness club2 market through its 13 franchises opened in select vantage locations of the city. It was started by the Parsana brothers: Vijay and Dinesh. They strived hard to inculcate the fitness regime in people and attempted to interweave the benefits of fitness with their occupations. However, the road undertaken threw challenges at them – sometimes from people who failed to underline the importance of fitness in their daily schedule, and sometimes from other fitness brands which emerged as strong competitors. The emergence of many individual and branded fitness chains started making inroads into the busy streets of Ahmedabad and they too worked hard to pull out fitness enthusiasts to these social fitness centres by providing personal health counseling, rejuvenation, yoga, etc. Sustaining competitive advantage became a tough task.

ABSTRACT  Related to the implementation of the Regional Regulation (Perda) about the increase in parking rates at the edge of the road prone to congestion in the city of Bogor ratified and entered into force on July 2, 2012, The first location that imposed this tariff is the Way Suryakencana and Jalan Siliwangi Bogor and the second location is the application of The Government through the Department trials Traffic Transportation (DLLAJ) Bogor City gets a reaction from the people around Jalan Suryakencana. Enactment of the increase in parking rates at Jalan Bogor Suryakencana expected to reduce illegal parking of vehicles in the area, which has been causing congestion. With parking rates that have been enacted many road users who park their vehicles in multiple and indiscriminate. The method used in this study is empirical juridical approach. The study, based on an inventory of positive law, the discovery of the principles of law and legal discovery inconcretto, which include observation of empirical operationalization of law in society. The conclusion from this study is the basis of the application of the levy Parking Services Bank Public Road, especially in the city of Bogor is Law No. 28 of 2009 on Regional Taxes and Levies and Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2012.

Abstract The rapid development of the city has resulted in the development of development in each city getting more massive with a relatively fast duration of development. This has very significant impacts on the livelihoods of the people. One of the impacts is flooding that occurs due to wrong land use and improper drainage makers. Drainage as a diversion system for excess water is needed to divert water that falls into the road body and tackle inundation that occurs when it rains. This is intended to reduce the risk of accidents due to slipping of tires due to water. The planning of the road surface drainage system in the case of the Budiman Kota Tembilahan road needs important attention in order to avoid flooding or accidents. In this study, an analysis of drainage planning was carried out with a simulation using hecras 4.0 software to simulate the planned drainage conditions on Jalan Budiman, Tembilahan city. After collecting data on the length of the drainage channel on Jalan Budiman, Tembilahan city and Catchment for the residential area on Jalan Budiman, Tembilahan city, as well as rainfall data for the last 10 years, the planned discharge and drainage for the drainage of Jalan Budiman, Tembilahan city are Qrencana = 0,141 m3/dt  dan Qsaluran = 0,264 m3/dt dimana Qs > Qr with a rectangular cross section. Then the calculation simulation can be done using HEC-RAS 4.0 software. The results of the analysis of the drainage planning of Tembilahan city roads state that the planned drainage using hecras simulations based on manual calculations is able to accommodate discharge and no runoff.   Keywords: Hec ras 4.0, discharge  , simulation Abstrak Pesatnya perkembangan kota mengakibatkan perkembangan pembangunan pada tiap – tiap kota semakin masif dengan durasi perkembangan yang relatif cepat. Hal tersebut memiliki dampak – dampak yang sangat signifikan bagi hajat hidup warga. Salah satu dampaknya ialah banjir yg terjadi diakibatkan tata guna lahan yang salah dan pembuat drainase yang tidak tepat. Drainase sebagai sistem pengalih kelebihan air sangat diperlukan untuk mengalihkan air yang jatuh ke badan jalan dan menanggulangi genangan yang terjadi ketika hujan. Hal tersebut dimaksudkan untuk menggurangi resiko kecelakaan karena tergelincirnya ban akibat air. Perencanaan sistem drainase permukaan jalan dalam kasus jalan budiman kota tembilahan perlu mendapat perhatian yang penting guna terhindar dari genangan banjir atau kecelakaan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis perencanaan drainase dengan simulasi menggunakan software hecras 4.0 guna mensimulasilkan kondisi drainase yang direncanakan pada Jalan Budiman kota Tembilahan. Setelah mengumpulkan data panjang saluran drainase di jalan Budiman kota Tembilahan dan Catchment Area pemukiman di Jalan Budiman kota Tembilahan, serta data curah hujan 10 tahun terakhir diperoleh debit rencana dan debit saluran untuk drainase Jalan Budiman kota Tembilahan adalah Qrencana = 0,141 m3/dt  dan Qsaluran = 0,264 m3/dt dimana Qs > Qr dengan penampang persegi empat. Kemudian dapat dilakukan simulasi perhitungan menggunakan software HEC-RAS 4.0.Hasil dari Analisis perencanaan drainase jalan budiman kota tembilahan menyatakan drainase yang direncanakan dengan menggunakan simulasi hecras yang berdasarkan hitungan manual mampu mengakomodasi debit dan tidak terjadi limpasan.   Kata kunci: Hec Ras 4.0, Debit, simulasi

Based on the concept of a livable and global age-friendly city, pavements are a public facility that the city should provide to the people. Appropriate pavements will be beneficial for the people, particularly for good quality of life for the elderly to move around in the city. This study explored the behaviour of the elderly in the use of pavements and the problems confronted. The study also evaluated the value of the pavement walking area as it reflected the benefits of pavements to the elderly by applying the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). During March-May 2017, data were collected using interviews with 601 elderly living in Bangkok. The study indicated that the main problem for senior citizens regarding their use of pavements was from being disturbed by motorbikes riding on the pavements. The average value of pavement for the elderly was about THB 160 (USD 5.30) per person per year. Thus, the benefits of pavements to the elderly in Bangkok was approximately THB 158 million (USD 5.2 million) per year. Thus, policy makers should make proper budget allocations for elderly-friendly pavement management and seriously address the problems confronting the elderly in using pavements, to maximize the usefulness of pavements not only for the elderly but also for the public and to support a sustainable urban development.
