Depth Interviews

Inclusive development is meant to accommodate the marginalised people, most of whom are the poor with the problem of fulfilling their need for housing. The government has tried hard to meet the need of housing by constructing rusunawa. This paper is aimed at describing the provision and uses of rusunawa, both in cities and peri-urban area by studying the cases in the City of Yogyakarta, Sleman Regency, and Bantul Regency. The study was conducted by doing observation and both structured and in-depth interviews. The research results show that rusunawa were viewed as one solution to help a low-income family in fulfilling their need for housing. In some cases in the City of Yogyakarta, rusunawa plays an essential role in preventing the settlement along both sides of rivers from becoming slum areas. Rusunawa in both Regencies of Sleman and Bantul is located near the city, so it is easy for the settlers to get to their workplace. The construction of rusunawa has also paid attention to the disabled by providing exceptional facilities. The same case is providing a playground for children and facilities for early education for young kids. However, there have not been special facilities for the elderly and pregnant women.

Digital Payments

The Mobile payment revolution has led to 55% increase in digital payments in India in the past one year. Currently there are 10 million locations that accept digital payments in the country. Though, internet connectivity, digital literacy and perceptual gaps in generations have proved to be the major hurdles for service providers to capture the full market potential for digital payments. This study holistically approaches the topic by critically analyzing the data collected from different strata based on age groups. It was observed that all the generations are readily adopting digital payments whereas there is still a perceptual gap that exist in the regular usage of mobile payments among the elderly and the young generations. Data analysis also reveals that mobile payments are mostly used for the low value purchase by the customers in comparison to the high value purchase as there is high risk and high channel cost associated with mobile transactions and also government regulations do not support very high value transactions. Another trend observed was Impulsive purchase behavior in customers (especially millennial) using mobile payments as these purchases are unplanned, unintentional and unthoughtful. These facts can be used as an input by the Government departments and the financial service providers to design strategies to bring convenience in the adoption and usage of digital transactions, to bridge the gap in the adoption of digital payments between young and old generations.

This group of people dwelt not far from the location of their place to work; occupying marginal spaces in the city and its environment tend to be slump. Almost all areas in the city of Jakarta have marginal spaces, therefore the government attempt to improve the quality of their houses, for example by providing low-cost housing. In fact the low-cost house which was provided by the government failed to be ‘consumed’ by the brigdeheaders at the time when the used value of the house has been turned into market value.

The provision of affordable housing is still a big issue in every major city in Indonesia. The increasing number of urbanizations hasn’t made the provision of housing in the city of Jakarta also increase. Residents who take part in the urbanization program were from the Middle Class and Low-Income Communities Class. The provision of land for Affordable Flats was still a bit. Based on the presentation of the Director of Housing Financing Planning at the Directorate General of Housing Financing, classic problems have happened since 1992 by the PUPR Settlement Area Development were still related to the housing supply chain process. This research will re-examine the supply chain process that has been carried out by developers and stakeholders in DKI Jakarta as well as solutions to the efforts that will be made to overcome obstacles in the provision of Affordable Flats. The research locations are in Samesta Sentraland Cengkareng and Green Pramuka City. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach. The analytical method for researching is chronological analysis and comparison of each Affordable Flats where developed by the developer. The results of the study show that the provision of affordable flats is still very influential on the regulations that have been carried out by the government on the land, and the selection of materials for the establishment of Affordable Flats is still very influential. In the case of Samesta Sentraland Cengkareng, the existing regulations at the project site must provide 20% of their development for MBR, and the selection of materials is based on discussions with the construction manager. Even though the license in the Green Pramuka City case was rusunami, there was only anami due to the request of the prospective buyer to use good material specifications. Keywords: flats, affordability; supply chain; low-income communities; developers; stakeholders; government AbstrakPenyediaan hunian yang terjangkau masih menjadi isu besar pada setiap kota-kota besar di Indonesia. Angka urbanisasi yang semakin bertambah tidak membuat penyediaan hunian di kota Jakarta juga ikut bertambah. Penduduk yang ikut program urbanisasi dari Masyarakat Kelas Menengah dan Kelas Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah atau MBR. Penyediaan tanah untuk Rumah Susun yang Terjangkau masih sedikit. Berdasarkan presentasi Direktur Perencanaan Pembiayaan Perumahan Direktorat Jenderal Pembiayaan Perumahan, permasalahan klasik sejak tahun 1992 oleh Pengembangan Kawasan Permukiman PUPR masih berkaitan dengan proses rantai pasok hunian. Pada penelitian ini akan meneliti kembali proses rantai pasok yang sudah dijalankan oleh pengembang-pengembang dan stakeholders yang ada di DKI Jakarta maupun solusi upaya yang akan dilakukan untuk mengatasi hambatan pada penyediaan Rumah Susun yang Terjangkau. Lokasi penelitian berada di Samesta Sentraland Cengkareng dan Green Pramuka City. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif. Metode analisis yang dilakukan adalah analisis kronologi dan perbandingan pada masing-masing rumah susun yang dikembangkan oleh pengembang. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penyediaan rumah susun yang terjangkau masih sangat berpengaruh terhadap peraturan yang telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah pada lahan tersebut, serta pemilihan material pada berdirinya rumah susun yang terjangkau masih sangat berpengaruh. Pada kasus Samesta Sentraland Cengkareng, peraturan yang ada pada lokasi proyek mesti menyediakan 20% dari pengembangan mereka untuk MBR, dan pemilihan material berdasarkan hasil diskusi dengan manager konstruksi. Walaupun perizinan pada kasus Green Pramuka City merupakan rusunami, yang ada hanya anami akibat permintaan  calon pembeli untuk menggunakan spesifikasi bahan yang baik.

There is a widespread impression among the Indian intelligentsia, foreign scholars, and residents of developed/rich countries that India’s economic growth has not reduced poverty, that globalisation has worsened poverty and/or income distribution, and that there are hundreds of millions of hungry people in India. These arguments are buttressed by recourse to India’s ranking on several social indicators. Esoteric debates about the comparability of survey data and gaps between NSS and NAS add to the confusion and allow ideologues to believe and assert whatever information suits the argument. What are the basic facts about poverty, income distributions, and hunger at an aggregate level? This paper reviews the available data and debates on this subject and comes to a commonsense view. It then tries to link some of the outcomes to the policy framework and programmes of the government. The paper finds that India’s poverty ratio of around 22 percent in 1999-2000 is in line with that observed in countries at similar levels of per capita income. The ratio is relatively high because India is a relatively poor/ low-income country, i.e., with low average income. 90 percent of the countries in the world have a higher per capita (average) income than India. The number of the poor is very high because India’s population is very large, the secondhighest in the world. India’s income distribution as measured by the Gini co-efficient is better than three-fourths of the countries of the world. The consumption share of the poorest 10 percent of the population is the sixth best in the world. Where India has failed as a nation is in improving its basic social indicators like literacy and mortality rates. Much of the failure is a legacy of the three decades of Indian socialism (till 1979-80). The rate of improvement of most indicators has accelerated during the market period (starting in 1980-81). The gap between its level and that of global benchmarks is still wide and its global ranking on most of these social parameters remains very poor. This is the result of government failure. The improvement in social indicators has not kept pace with economic growth and poverty decline, and this has led to increasing interstate disparities in growth and poverty.

In urban areas where increased density has caused loss of urban open space (UOS), there is a need for high-quality parks that are inclusive and fit for multiple user groups. To make parks more inclusive, UOS management may need to consider multifunction and the perspectives of various age groups in future development and maintenance activities. Walking interviews were conducted in a park in central Landskrona, Sweden, with children, adolescents, and elderly users, and also with the head park manager of the city. The results revealed different perspectives among the three age groups of users concerning affordances and UOS management. The manager described user-oriented management to support multifunction and inclusion, including user participation. All user groups studied showed an appreciation of liveliness, contact with nature, social places for their own age group, clean and safe parks, and a variety of different atmospheres and activities in the park. Social multifunction can be developed in programmed or non-programmed ways, but some functions interfere with each other. UOS managers can develop parks to suit different age groups, promote user participation within management, and develop social multifunction to create inclusive parks for various age groups.

Abstract Introduction. Oral health largely depends on proper hygiene, which in elderly people is not different from generally accepted standards, however, must be adjusted to specific conditions in oral cavities of the elderly. Aim. The aim of the study was the assessment of oral hygiene habits in people over the age of 65 residing in Lublin Nursing Homes and in family homes basing on questionnaire survey. Material and methods. The study was conducted among 240 people over the age of 65: 117 residents of the four Lublin Nursing Homes (group I) and 123 seniors living in their own homes in Lublin (group II). Assessment of the oral hygiene habits was conducted basing on the questionnaire survey concerning the frequency of tooth brushing, type of toothpaste, the use of additional oral aids as well as the frequency of toothbrush replacement. Results. Questionnaire survey revealed that seniors residing in Nursing Homes who had their own teeth most frequently brushed them once daily e.g. 37.25%, whereas the surveyed who lived in their family homes twice daily – 47.67%. In both groups the people who brushed their teeth used fluoride toothpastes. Additional oral hygiene aids were used by 31.71% of the surveyed living with their families. Both, the residents of Nursing Homes and those who lived with their families most frequently reported replacing their toothbrushes at least every 3 months. Conclusions. Nursing Homes residents essentially more frequently revealed considerable neglect and irregularities in oral hygiene in comparison to seniors living with their families. Population of elderly people, especially residents of nursing homes, should be provided with complex dental care.
