Their survival of living is through begging around with their fatherless children in the city of Banda Aceh. The objectives of this study are to identify the demographic condition of Inong Balee beggars, the reasons why inong balee beg, and the educational condition of their children. The study was conducted using a case study approach which includes observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data was collected from April 2012 to August 2012 in the city of Banda Aceh. Purposive sampling was used to select the informants. The interviews and observations were conducted with 12 informants consisting of Inong Baleebeggars and their children. The findings have shown that most of the beggars are from regions in Aceh, other than Banda Aceh and began begging in Banda Aceh after the Tsunami in 2004. Furthermore, the main reason for Inong Baleeto beg is because they become widows without a main source of income and need to increase the financial status of their family. The education condition of their children is notgood; some of them still go to school but do not get a quality education, while others have dropped out of school entirely. This study examines the current status of Inong Balee beggars in terms of social, economic, and educational conditions. The government of Aceh should put a larger focus on Inong baleein order to improve their lives.

Purpose This paper aims to find out what causes differences in understanding the concept of halal tourism between the government and stakeholders, which results in the slow development of halal tourism and the emergence of doubts for stakeholders who want to be part of halal tourism in Bandung. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative research method, and then the results presented the Fishbone Diagram (Cause and Effect) of halal tourism concept in the City of Bandung. A case study approach is in accordance with the Bandung City branding as the halal tourism destination in Indonesia. The informants are the halal tourism stakeholders, consumers, the government and the tourism community. Findings Even though the level of Muslim tourist's arrival in Bandung has always been increasing, what was proclaimed by the government is unclear related to the halal tourism concept. The ambiguity of the halal tourism concept spread in Bandung impacts the absence of clear standardization of supporting facilities and accommodation and the emergence of anxiety and mistrust of stakeholders in applying the halal concept into their tourism business in Bandung. Research limitations/implications This study was only conducted in Bandung City, Indonesia; hence, it lacks generality. Accordingly, future studies can expand to several potential halal tourism cities in Indonesia and halal tourists outside Bandung as informants. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first practical paper that provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the different concepts of halal tourism in the city of Bandung.

This qualitative case study article explicated the perspectives of the stakeholders regarding the urbanization of heritage properties, specifically the old, walled area of Intramuros in the city of Manila with respect to the construction of the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Bridge (or the bridge). This study begins with a documentation analysis involving the collection of researches related to the subject and in-depth interviews with the different stakeholders, specifically the national and local government, the private sectors and the host community in Intramuros and Binondo. The case study approach is incorporated in the study to discern the issues arising from the subject site, while a thematic analysis is used as the most suitable technique to analyse the findings. The outcomes reveal the different viewpoints of the stakeholders concerning the matters in constructing the Filipino–Chinese Friendship Bridge between Intramuros and Binondo. In this context, authorities such as the government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should establish regulations that seek to protect and conserve the different heritage properties, as well as balance the demands for rapid urbanization. Due to the urban development, the integrity and significance of heritage properties are being compromised, which may result in the degradation of the local properties’ identity and culture.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana upaya-upaya yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh era Illiza Sa’aduddin Djamal dalam mewujudkan kota madani. Untuk menjawab hal tersebut, penulis menggunakan konsep sumber daya kekuasaan dari Charles F. Andrain untuk melihat seberapa besar sumber daya kekuasaan yang dimiliki dan bagaimana sumber daya kekuasaan tersebut dimanfaatkan. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara. Aktor-aktor yang terlibat langsung dalam pelaksanaan syariat Islam di kota Banda Aceh terutama dari unsur pemerintah menjadi sumber data utama dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa sumber daya kekuasaan yang dimiliki oleh Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh cukup besar. Walaupun demikian, refleksi atas upaya yang telah dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh dalam mewujudkan kota madani menunjukkan bahwa sumber daya yang dimiliki masih belum dapat dimaksimalkan, sehingga hal ini berimbas pada hasil akhir yang dapat dicapai. Sekalipun upaya untuk mewujudkan kota madani belum bisa terwujud sepenuhnya, pada dasarnya dapat dimaknai bahwa Pemerintah Kota sedang membangun tatanan sumber daya yang lebih kuat, dukungan yang lebih memadai lewat partisipasi masyarakat untuk ikut andil bersama meningkatkan pelaksanaan syariat Islam guna mewujudkan Banda Aceh menjadi kota madani. This study aims to explain how the efforts made by the Banda Aceh City Government in the era of Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal in realizing a civilized city. To answer this, the author uses the concept of power resources from Charles F. Andrain to see how much power resources are owned and how these power resources are utilized. The research method is qualitative with a case study approach. The data collection technique was carried out by the interview. Actors who are directly involved in the implementation of Islamic law in the city of Banda Aceh, especially from government elements, are the main data sources in this study. The results showed that the power resources owned by the Banda Aceh City Government were quite large. However, reflections on the efforts that have been made by the Banda Aceh City Government in realizing a civilian city show that the resources they have are still not maximized, so this has an impact on the final results that can be achieved. Even though the effort to realize a civil city has not yet been fully realized, it can basically be interpreted that the City Government is building a stronger resource structure, more adequate support through community participation to take part in increasing the implementation of Islamic law in order to make Banda Aceh a civil city.
