This study examined new religious patterns and behaviours in Indonesian Muslims during the New Normal era. This new religiosity is an impact of government regulations and recommendations from community organisations regarding social and physical distancing restrictions due to the spread of Covid-19. This study used a sociological approach to analyse changes in religious and social behaviour of Indonesian Muslims in public spaces qualitatively. This study found five main aspects that indicate a new form of religiosity for Indonesian Muslims in the New Normal era, namely; a shift in worship practices from a public space to a private space, a decrease in the capacity of the physical space that has an impact on decreasing the routine of worship, the emergence of new challenges for the authorities and public policy to prepare an area for more personal religious activities, the disappearance of symbolic worship practices, and finally, the blurring of abangan Muslim groups based on waqi'iyah (contemporary/contextual) ijtihad. These findings are analysed using the theory of public space from Jurgen Habermas's. This study proposes a new pattern of religiosity for Indonesian Muslims in the New Normal era, i.e., the adjustment of Shari'a by way of independent legal reasoning to maintain a wider maslahat, public welfare.

Iniciar uma reflexão acerca da cidade atual nos remete à necessidade de construirmos uma análise sobre os shopping centers como espaços que tem atraído um fluxo considerável da população, ocasionando mudanças na relação dos citadinos com os espaços públicos.  Nesta perspectiva, temos como objetivo analisar o  North Shopping, localizado na cidade de Fortaleza, como um espaço de uso popular onde as camadas de menor poder aquisitivo podem adentrar e usufruir de seus atributos. Imbuídos de tal finalidade nosso aporte teórico fundamentou-se em Pintaudi (1992), Dantas (1995), Silva (1996) Lefebvre (1999), Carlos (2001), Gomes (2002) e Serpa (2007). Conclui-se que na cidade de Fortaleza, o North Shopping é um verdadeiro simulacro da realidade, substituindo as experiências cotidianas dos espaços públicos, configurando-se, assim, a supervalorização do espaço privado que se traveste de público tendo repercussões na nova urbanidade fortalezense.  Public Space and Shopping Mall in the Contemporary City: New Meanings of North Shopping in Fortaleza/CE  Abstract Start a discussion about the current city us the need to build an analysis on malls as spaces that have attracted a considerable  flow of people, causing changes in the relationships of the townspeople with the public spaces.

Public space is increasingly recognised to be central to spatial discourse of cities. A city’s urbanism is displayed in public spaces, representing a myriad of complex socio-cultural, economic and democratic practices of everyday life. In cities of the Global South, especially those with nascent democracies, different values attached to a space by various actors – both material and symbolic – frame the contestation, making the physical space a normative instrument for contestation. Tundikhel, once believed to be the largest open space in Asia, is an important part of Kathmandu’s urbanism, which has witnessed two civil wars popularly known as Jana Andolans, and the subsequent political upheavals, to emerge as the symbolic meeting point of the city, democracy, and its people. The paper argues that the confluence of the three modalities of power – institutionalisation, militarisation and informalisation – has underpinned its historical transformation, resulting in what I call ‘urban rupturing’: a process of (un)making of public space, through physical and symbolic fragmentation and spatial estrangement. The paper contends that unlike the common notion that public spaces such as Tundikhel are quintessentially public, hypocrisy is inherent to the ‘publicness’ agenda of the state and the institutional machinery in Kathmandu. It is an urban condition that not only maligns the public space agenda but also creeps into other spheres of urban development.

AbstractThis study aims to find out two things, namely, (1) factors that influence the family to determinelanguage selection policies and (2) factors that influence society in the use of language in thepublic space. This study took samples in several regions including, Magelang, Wonogiri,Yogyakarta, Makassar, and Tanjung Pinang. The type of research used is qualitative. Datacollection techniques are carried out by observation and interviews. The collected data is thenanalyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques. The results of data analysis show that (1) thechoice of language used in the family scope is influenced by factors, namely the first languageof the family member, the language used in the neighborhood, the language of education andthe media; (2) The policy of language selection in public space is influenced by several factors,namely the purpose of using language, institutional policy or local government, and the rulesfor using the language stated in Law No. 28 of 2009. (3) The use of language in the publicsphere which generally uses mixed code between Indonesian and regional / foreign languageshas the purpose and objectives adjusted to its designation. (4) The use of foreign / Englishlanguages in public spaces still violates many government regulations that have been invited.

This paper explores the contribution of media in changing the image of an indigenous community by  controlling some information of the tribal values possessed by the Baduy tribe in the media. The media that represent Baduy Tribe to public is called  "Desa Kanekes" which invite readers to see the transformation from isolate tribe to tolerate tribe y. Framing in commodification spaces are identified in this media so that by using discourse framing by Foucault, Barthes's semiology, and commodification by Christ Ryan, this paper will describe and interpret the hidden sign  in the website. Baduy’sidentity has unknowingly changed direction from farmers to craftsmen.  The website contains  articles that certainly support the government program to increase the production of weaving that can support the economic life of the Baduy community. The view point of Baduy life principle which is living a simple and spiritual life is changing through this website. Baduy tribe is directed to become modern indigenous people. This process can be seen on this website that is classified into two spatial codes, i.e. public space and private space. Public spaces are represented in Baduy festival columns and Meretas Mimpi. The private spaces are represented in writing about ritual cultivation and weaving. Ambiguity occurs in most articles because the unexplained division of custom territory that is the basis of the Baduy interaction boundaries . The identity of the actual Baduy (Inner Baduy) does not receive any portion in this website. This could impact to their existence in the future. There is an indication that the Baduy Luar is Baduy thoroughly. This is certainly contrary to reality.

Introduction: One of the approaches to improve life quality in a residential complex is by modifying them properly to an educationalpublic space. An educational public space is consisted of three factors: individual, community and physical space, the importantfactor in these environments are, the proper individual and general education and respecting the natural or artificial surroundings. Basedon the probabilistic approach, an environment can have a direct impact on an individual. An environment can teach us cultural,moral and social values. The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria for designing educating public spaces in a residentialcomplex to improve the environmental quality. Therefore, the qualitative data was collected with the help of library documentsin two categories: Residential Satisfaction Factors and Educational Public Spaces Criteria. Then, both groups were adapted based oncontent validity and a questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. The questionnaires were distributed among the architectureprofessors, according to the Delphi method. SPSS 18 software was used to analyze the quantitative data to prioritize and correlate thecriteria and micro criteria for designing educational public spaces in the residential complex. The results indicate that among all of thecriteria for an educational public space, safety is more important than other criteria, in a residential complex, the top five criteria areas follows: health and safety, aesthetics, social -cultural interactions, and national-local identity. Therefore, it can be concluded that byapplying the micro criteria of the aforementioned criteria in the communal spaces of residential complexes, the quality of residentialenvironment can be improved.

Talking on the phone is usually a private activity, but it becomes a public activity when using a cellphone in certain spaces. Unlike a traditional payphone in public, cellphones do not have privacy booths. Therefore, the ways in which people respond to cellphone calls in public spaces provide markers for social topographical space. In this study I explore how cellphone users negotiate privacy when using cellphones in public space and how those within the proximity of the caller negotiate space in response to these callers. Based on a year-long study involving observation fieldwork and in-depth interviews, I discuss the flexibility with which people constantly negotiate their private and public sense of self when using and responding to cellphones in public spaces.

The coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak and its immediate impact on all aspects of human life have changed the way we use public space in our cities. People have been forced to adopt social isolation measures and wear masks. Street life has ground to a halt and public transport use has plummeted, while social facilities such as restaurants, clubs and cinemas have been closed. The relationship between private and public space has been reversed: public space has become deserted while private space, one of luxury, has been available only to the richest. The behaviour and interactions between people in public space have also changed. The paper analyses the above phenomena and raises questions about the future of metropolitan public spaces after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article examines how immigrant culture in modern-day France is communicated through Turkish associations as a medium of the public space. Through interviews with members of various types of cultural associations, I explore how public and private space dictate how culture and identity are understood within the French context. To better explain their goals and how they fit into larger French "cultural" discussion, I develop a simple typology of these cultural associations as "localizing" or "orientalizing" immigrant culture. Pointing to the space between these categories, I show the need for the immigrant experience to be recognized as part of French history in these public spaces in order to directly confront the issue of "neo-racism."
