This chapter aims at understanding and interpreting the informal urban growth in Cairo as a physical objection act against the failing radical ways in managing the city. Accordingly, this chapter tries to analyze both informal physical actions and the formal policies and approaches adopted, and reach reasons for the successes and failures. The chapter first investigates briefly the evolution of Cairo's informal settlements and the hardship conditions behind. Then it examines these settlements through analyzing their two main types. Afterward, it discusses the reasons behind the success of these informal actions. Then it reviews policies and approaches. Consequently, it tries to discover the reasons behind the failure of formal policies and approaches. Thereafter, it discusses briefly using geospatial digital research methods in Cairo's informal settlements. Finally, the chapter ends with a concluded discussion tries to figure out how to reach the right path in dealing with Cairo's informal settlements.

AbstrakSeiring dengan perkembangan zaman, pertunjukan wayang berfungsi menjadi media pembelajaran. Demikian halnya dengan Wayang Godhong.  Wayang kontemporer yang berasal dari godhong (daun) jati, cengkeh, dan kopi ini mencoba menjadikan pertunjukan wayangnya sebagai media edukasi cinta budaya dan alam sejak usia dini di Kabupaten Magelang. Artikel yang disusun melalui metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini, berhasil menemukan visualisasi figur/karakter Wayang Godhong yang representatif untuk anak usia dini dengan pendekatan visual yang ramah dan lucu. Kemudian proses penyampaian dalang Wayang Godhong saat pentas yang harus menggunakan mimik jelas (karena dalang di depan anak-anak, tidak di balik layar), sehingga bahasa yang digunakan pun harus bahasa yang mudah dipahami anak-anak dengan penyampaian humorisme.  Setelah melihat pementasan, anak-anak pun berkeinginan melakukan seperti yang dipesankan dalam pementasan yakni menanam pohon sebagai upaya melestarikan alam ini serta menjadi suka/cinta akan wayang. Dengan demikian Wayang Godhong dianggap mampu menjadi media edukasi cinta wayang sebagai hasil dari budaya Indonesia dan cinta alam dengan menanam/merawat pohon sejak usia dini. Kata Kunci: budaya dan alam, media edukasi, anak usia dini, Wayang Godhong AbstractAlong with the times, puppet shows function as learning media. Like wise with Wayang Godhong. Wayang Godhong, a form of contemporary wayang made from leaves of teak, cloves, and coffee, attempts to become a medium for children to foster a sense of love for nature and culture, especially in the Magelang Regency. This article, compiled through descriptive qualitative research methods, has succeeded in finding the visualization of the representative Wayang Godhong figures/characters for early childhood with a friendly and funny visual approach. The performance process of storytelling by the puppeteer must be used a clear facial expression (because the puppeteer stays in front of the children, not behind the scenes), the language must be easy to understand by the children by conveying humorism. After seeing the performance, the children wanted to do as instructed in the wayang performance, such as planting trees as an effort to preserve nature and became interested in wayang. Thereby, Wayang Godhong is considered capable of being a love for wayang educational media as a result of Indonesian culture and love for nature by planting/caring for trees from an early age. Keywords: children, culture and nature, education media, Godhong puppet

The process of Islamization has caused acculturation among the Nusantara and foreign  culture. One of them is in the field of music, namely “Kasidah”. Initially the kasidah only used a tambourine instrument (rebana), later in its development it was mixed with Western musical instruments (guitar, bass, keyboard and drums), its name became the modern kasidah. Along with the development of the times, the Kasidah also went through a process of deculturation. Where the kasidah is no longer unique to the rebana, musicians in Indonesia have left the tambourine and only use modern musical instruments. a new genre emerged in kasidah, namely pop kasidah. This study uses historical research methods, namely research models that study past events based on the traces they have left. This research method is carried out in four stages, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. In 2001, a Sufi Muslim music group was born with personnel from various countries, namely Dust. They use many musical instruments from various countries as well, this is what causes the music color of Dust to be different from the others.

Summary This article uses digital research methods to explore the use of Facebook by ministries of foreign affairs (MFAs) in several Asian locations. It contextualises this analysis by considering four factors that contribute to the growing complexity confronting public diplomacy: environmental factors (digitalised, networked media); institutional factors (diplomatic norms and traditions, and MFAs’ policies and practices); algorithmic factors (the programming that organises social media content); audience factors (social media users). The analysis shows most Facebook content posted by MFAs is driven by institutional factors. Yet this content is not the most appealing to digital publics, who are more likely to engage with content they find relevant and useful, or emotionally resonant. The article concludes that Facebook, and digital media generally, can provide multiple small opportunities for outreach, if due consideration is given to audiences’ needs and motivations. These audience factors may be the most important, but least considered, by MFAs.
