A User-Friendly Shopping Street

The primary concern of this paper is to identify the relationship between attributes under physical qualities and activities that contribute to the user-friendly street. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is used in the early stages to gather information about the interrelationships among variables. The Cronbach’s Alpha (α) value was used to determine the level of reliability through the internal consistency for each factor. The result for the validity of all construct achieved Alpha (α) value exceeding 0.70. This research found that there are positive correlation between safety with comfort and convenience, safety with accessibility, and accessibility with comfort and convenience.Keywords: Urban shopping, street, physical quality, street activities, user-friendlyeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

Issues regarding persons with disability (PWD) at workplace have become an endless argument. PWD faced difficulties at their workplaces after struggling to get the job. They faced with problems that could not make them work longer. This paper examines the relationship between organizational climate and their job embeddedness. It reveals that disabled employees must be supported by an appropriate organizational climate to ensure their embeddedness with the company. The findings can be used in the creation of a better organizational climate specially prepared for the disabled employees as part of the company’s responsibilities as the PWD have their rights in receiving the same treatment as received by other normal employees.Keywords: Organizational Climate; Job Embeddedness; Disabled Employee; Person with Disability2398-4279 © 2017 The Authors.

A good public space must be accommodative for everyone included the marginal, the forgotten, the silent (Badshah, 1996), and an undesirable people. “Cities for the Citizen ‘(Douglas & Friedmann, 1998) serves a slogan. Accommodative public space for marginal people and marginal activities can be created when physical aspects of space can accommodate the space needs of the Forgotten (Badshah, 1996). Thus, the society will be educated to learn and share, to respect the rights of other users in the city, and consequently, the physical quality of the visual city will be better because there is no annexation of space and overlapping activities.
