The Town

China Village or Town is an urban region with Chinese as majority of the community. The China Town is located at the old part of the city of Manado and is well known as one of the oldest trade centres in Manado. As one of the urban heritage in the city of Manado, the Chinatown has unique landmarks with temples that are religious buildings for the Chinese community. With time, the quality of the environment has degraded and the image of the Chinatown has become vague.This paper investigates the existing condition of the town through site observation. It then proposes several suggestions with regard to the revitalisation of the Chinatown without discarding its existing function as a one of the trade centres in Manado. It is hoped that the revitalisation of the town would improve the quality of its urban environment that at the end would positively impact the quality of life of its dwellers, and construct the image of the city as a whole.

The quality of the urban environment determines a lasting relationship between a man and his place of residence. Sustainable management of the urban spaces is crucial as it directly affects their quality. The article analyses the results of the sustainability regarding spatial, socio-economic, technical and environmental aspects, which are one of the many conditions that contribute to the proper functioning of urban life. They also influence the quality of life and residence in the urban environment. There are different ways of expressing the development of the cities defined by specific indicators. They focus mainly on development of the quality of life - social, economic and environmental development. The sustainable urban design is related to issues connected with the form and spatial management. This topic is presented on the example of the city of Oświęcim - the Old Town district with the surrounding area.

Quality Of Life Index

This study was to identify the spatial distribution of Social Support Index (SSI) among drug-abuse inmates throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Factor Analysis (FA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) were applied to analyses the level of social support (SS) among drug-abuse inmates and develop the spatial model using Geographic Information System (GIS). Five significant index categories were generated from FA: excellent, good, moderate, low and poor Quality of Life Index (QoLi) and the nine of SS variables are expected to be derived from family, friends and other social factor. DA showed each category differed from others in terms of different compositions, stepwise backward and forward modes gave 99.75% correct classification. GIS analysis show the distribution of SSI categorized on family and friends factor were moderately for where the prisoners came. Besides that, Perlis classified as low-level index and Melaka as high-level index of other social factor. The distribution model of SSI in moderately-level showed Jelebu, Sungai Petani, Pengkalan Chepa and Simpang Renggang as the better SS factor to quality of life compared to the Penor, Pahang. The procedures of FA, DA and GIS were used in this study proved the source apportionment of SS and QoLi among drug-abuse inmates in Peninsular Malaysian prisons.
