This paper identifies the urban tourism space in a complex way as chosen by the bike-sharing tourists in Yogyakarta. The space is defined as not only the tourist attraction object which has become a common attraction but also the elements of urban architecture such as landmarks, districts, paths, edges, and nodes that becoming lanes, stop points, and the destination for the tourist when cycling around using bike-sharing. The data collecting used in this research is person-cantered mapping by following the bike-sharing tourists’ movement and giving questionnaires to find out the tourists’ motivation in using bike-sharing for tourism. The hypothesis shows that the tourists would prefer to choose the common attraction as an urban tourism space in Yogyakarta. But by cycling, the tourists will be able to seek a new experience because they can be more flexible in exploring the space with uniqueness which has the shape of urban architecture elements. The research results showed that landmarks and paths were the two urban architecture elements that gave strong characteristics toward urban tourism space, as preferred by the bike-sharing tourists in Yogyakarta. The tourist attraction with both characteristics was located around the city centre. It indicated that the distribution of visits is still centrally located close to the bike shelters. So that the tourists could go to the other unique destinations in Yogyakarta, thus the researcher recommends that the bike shelters need to be evenly spread approaching the tourism attractions and amenities.

Sydney has been shaped by tourism but in a large metropolis, where tourist experiences so often overlap with everyday activity, its impact often escapes attention. Urban tourism involves not just international visitors, but people from interstate and regional NSW and even day trippers, who all see and use the city differently. Tourist Sydney has never been the same as workaday Sydney – the harbour, beaches, city centre, the Blue Mountains and national parks to the north and south loomed disproportionately large in the tourist gaze, while vast swathes of suburbia were invisible.

Urban green space (UGS) is essential for the city to ensure sustainability. The provision of adequate USG, however, is challenging over time, particularly at the city centre area. This study aims to offer a possible framework to identify UGS and assess the potential share from the vacant land into green space using descriptive analysis of remote sensing and secondary data. A case study is applied to assess the UGS and potential area in Yogyakarta City. The result shows that the built-up area in Yogyakarta City is covered around 85% of the total while the UGS remains halved within less than a decade. In addition, the field visit shows a potential UGS on 16.00 ha from the private vacant land. The application of the framework provides a tool for the city council in maintaining and monitoring the land cover, including identifying the UGS throughout the city. Imposing the regulation on vacant land might encourage the private sector involvement and offers less effort to the city council in providing UGS.

This paper concerns the use of the buildings along a heritage street in Johor Bahru city centre in Malaysia.   The fabrics of Johor Bahru city are in the phase of changing, similar to the other cities in the world.   Parts of the city were already torn down and replaced by new buildings to meet the demands of the modern society.   Some sections of the city were accepted as heritage area by the local authority. This includes a street known as Tan Hiok Nee Street.  Both sides of the street are lined partly with rows of shop houses built in the early 20th century.   A preliminary study on the street indicated that it was not popular to the general public during the day time. It is often emphasized by scholars that the current and future uses of the old buildings are crucial to their survival.  The usefulness of the existing buildings along the street was thus questionable.  A research was then conducted to examine the current situation of the street especially in the use and the condition of the buildings.  The intention was also to probe on the reasons why the street was not lively.  The data was collected from site observation, literature review and interview of the tenants, owners as well as visitors.  The analysis was based on these data from which the conclusions were drawn.  It was found that part of the street was rather quiet with some of the shops hardly survived to meet ends.  Some of the buildings were not in use and their condition revealed poor maintenance.  The external area was already upgraded by the local authority. However, the condition of the area showed the lack of maintenance.  The other reasons include the shifting of the residents, the lack of strong interest for the visitors, the lack of strong connectivity to the major nodes and the high rent.  It is inevitable that the whole area needs a constant supervision.  It also suggests that some of the buildings do not meet the current demands of the users.   This may result in the removal of the buildings in the near future.  Some strategies need to be devised in order to retain the heritage street for the benefit of the future generations.

A number of scholarly and critical arguments have explored the poetics of nonfiction, otherwise called life writing, as a sub-genre of prose literature. Against the common expectation of a detailed concentration on facts about the subject (the self or the other) which has made nonfiction to be seen in some quarters as a concern of history, such critical arguments have shown that this genre has its peculiar, predominant pattern and structure, which make it arguably a concern of the literary enterprise. A part of such argu­ments theoretically postulates that nonfiction is a meta-history, based on its identification of some textual and contextual properties and patterns of narra­tion which transform the life account of the self or other into a meta-historical (and not historical) expression, and therefore makes such writing a concern of literature. In extension of this argument, this paper examines Toyin Falola's memoir, A Mouth Sweeter than Salt, as a genre of life writing and, especially, a form of autobiography, by showing how the setting, Ibadan, in its cultural and social formations, is depicted as having contributed to the self-awareness, self-image and identity of the subject, and how this reflection makes the nar­rative a meta-historical expression.

The strong and rapid urban growth of China in the past decades was largely realised through territorial expansion and essentially building cities from the ground up, a condition known as a ‘developmental city’. Many expanding Chinese cities are developmental in character with imported types in vast quantity that are becoming the new dominant types. As outward expansion began to decline in recent years, the focus of development is returning to the city centre,with the risk of large-scaleerasure of existing urban fabric along with its history and social life. This paper explores the possibilities for inner-city regeneration through evaluation of current architecture types in the urbanised Chinese city centre of Ningbo, and the potential to engage in the developmental future. Typology is utilised as a tool of investigation to reveal the evolution of the idea of the city over time.Theaimistopoint towards an urban vision of the common good with a new collective form, which can then respond to the inevitable developmental forces through a theoretical position for regeneration rooted in urban social life.

Abstract Urban tourism has become a significant phenomenon of tourism over the last decade. the importance of urban tourism has grown mainly due to the development of transport and information technologies. rapid advancement of low cost airlines and reduction of administrative barriers owing to the expansion of the schengen area caused not only the development of a number of urban destinations, including Prague, but also the growth of new source markets. this paper compares the development of urban tourism in Prague with the situation in Vienna and Budapest in the last decade. the aim of the paper is to describe the main trends of tourism development and the geographic distribution of tourism in Prague in comparison with culturally and historically similar cities - Vienna and Budapest. the analysis shows high load of tourism in Prague and its strong concentration in the old city. this causes congestion in the city centre and an extrusion of residential functions by the functions of tourism. As a result, a tourism ghetto has been formed in the centre of Prague and the urban society has been increasingly dualized.

The Beauty and Attractions of Philippopolis, named after Philip II, king of Macedonia, praised in this poetical manner by Lucian, were also celebrated on its coinage in Roman times. Hence the river Hebrus, navigable up to Philippopolis in antiquity, was often depicted on coins; on Hadrianic coins it was even named (pl. 8.1, 1). Its great importance for the city is further reflected in the common illustrations of the river-god and the city-goddess (pl. 8.1, 2). And one coin with the river-god also shows other sources of wealth for the city: little genii are depicted representing agriculture and mining (pl. 8.1, 3). While the AIMOΣ, depicted only on coins of Nicopolis ad Istrum, is shown as a male personification (in the form of a young hunter), the smaller mountains of Rhodope, situated near Philippopolis, are depicted as a charming female figure with an explanatory legend (ROΔOΠH) on coins of Philippopolis (pl. 8.1, 4). In addition, the three hills which formed the acropolis of the city (which, as a consequence, was called Trimontium in Roman times), and are known today as Nebet-, Džambaz-, and Taximtepe, were depicted (singly or all together) on coins of Philippopolis (pl. 8.1, 5). Sometimes even the other hills of the city (which are said to have been seven in all) can be seen on the coins. So a statue of Heracles, situated on a hill, supposedly represented the second highest elevation of the city, the Bundardžika (pl. 8.1, 6). The pictures of these hills are combined with appropriate buildings—temples, statues, aqueducts— on the coins (pl. 8.1, 7). It is clear that such illustrations conveyed a specific image of the city and the landscape, and were intended to show essential aspects of the common identity of the Philippopolites. As a consequence they give a good insight into the processes of acculturation which led to the formation or change of identities. They show how indigenous, local, or regional traditions, myths, and stories of origins were conserved or changed. They also inform us about the adaptation of foreign influences (for example, the taking over and/or integration of foreign deities in the local pantheon) or the resistance against such influences. Such central aspects of ‘Coinage and Identity’ will be studied in detail in this chapter, with special regard to Thrace and Moesia Inferior.

This article discusses the results of advocacy on conflict management based on urban community organizations, especially the organization 'Aisyiyah, Wirobrajan Branch, Yogyakarta City. This is important considering that the trend of conflict between religious organizations in Yogyakarta City shows serious concerns. This is because in a survey conducted in 2016, the conflict indexfor the City of Yogyakarta had the highest score, namely 1.4 compared to the other four districts. Thus, this dedication becomes important so that it is expected to reduce the level of conflict within the organization as an effort to self-retraint (restraint) in the Social Constructivism Theory initiated by Alexander Wendt. In this study, the authors conducted a survey which wasdivided into two periods, namely pre-test before mentoring and post-test after mentoring. As a result, an interesting trend emerged, namely an increase inunderstanding of governance before and after the material. The ability to internalize conflict management is influenced by several factors, one of which is urban locations that tend to have open discourses and attitudes in society
