The rapid growth of virtual communities has created a new interest in researchers. Indeed, understanding these communities is especially relevant because it may allow for the obtaining of valuable information (e.g. needs of particular groups of people). In this respect, this work tries to explore which factors motivate individuals to take part of a virtual community since participation is one of the most important variables for the development and sustainability of virtual communities. More specifically, we analyze the effects of trust in a community, satisfaction with previous interactions and the communication level of the members’ intentions to participate in a given virtual community. The data (obtained through an online surveys made to members of several virtual communities) show that trust in a virtual community had a positive and significant effect on members’ participation in a virtual community. In addition, we found that satisfaction with previous interactions and the level of communication in a community significantly increased the level of trust in that virtual community.

The affordable settlement is a problem that faced by several countries, especially on its urban including Jakarta. The rapid growth of people in Jakarta will increase the number of settlement need. The more demand of land for settlement, the higher the price of land will be. This paper aims to extract relevant information about urban settlement issues regarding the need of the affordable urban settlement in Jakarta and make a recommendation to solve it. We collected some data on urban issues which is based on the characteristics of urban settlement in Jakarta. In this case, not all people can afford to have proper settlement. Only those who could afford will have a good house. The government built ‘rusun’ towers to provide an appropriate settlement for lower income families. However, there are many issues that must be addressed in order to make towers as a sustainable settlement. The issues that relevant to be discussed is whether the ‘rusun’ unit has a comfortable space for household, for social interaction between the inhabitants, for safety and health standards. ‘Rusun’ is one solution of settlement for the poor in Jakarta from Government. By applying an integrated affordable urban settlement in Jakarta and adapted to the existing inhabitants needs, we are optimistic that the need of affordable settlement for the poor can be resolved.

The majority of crime is due to the weak or absent legal knowledge of citizens by the statistical analysis of the criminal case. In addition, the universal legal system does not include every corner of society. With the substantial & rapid growth of mobile phone users, SMS becomes a new and relatively independent of the mass media. Also, it is one important method for peoples social interaction and accessing information. The SMS system which is the legal literacy will increase the scope of legal literacy in order to make up for the lack of the system.

Links between the rapid growth of tertiary students resident in a city and that city's gentrification have recently been proposed in a UK-based literature about ‘studentification’. These analyses frame student subjectivity, identity, and experience in particular ways—students are agents of urban change, propelling shifts in neighbourhood housing and entertainment submarkets in a manner that local host communities often resent. Consideration of the experiences of the students themselves, through the effects of the host society and the city on them, is less common. Based on research conducted in Melbourne, we focus on transnational students, who are seen as consumers for a major export industry. We use the voices of transnational students recently arrived in the city to make the claim that an unintended sociospatial segregation of these students is occurring, largely driven by institutional practices. Students' agency is fundamentally affected by their institutional context, which determines the conditions of their entry to Australia and to university there, their housing, and, to a remarkable degree, their opportunities for social interaction.

Putnam famously stated in his ‘hunkering down’ thesis that residents of diverse communities experiencing immigration retreat into their homes inhibiting the production of ‘social capital’. Immigration is therefore often posited to disrupt communities and positive social interaction, ultimately increasing tension and conflict between groups. Moving beyond Putnam’s simplistic account that immigration inevitably disrupts social capital, this article aims to instead show the complex features of civility and conflict that can co-exist among migrant and local communities. The research was based in a small working-class town in the North West of England that experienced the migration of Polish workers. Using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods, the key results show how new Polish migrants in particular demonstrate complex forms of social interaction displaying in-group hostility but out-group civility. Lenski’s notion of ‘status inconsistency’ is used to help explain why migrants with a high level of education but a low income are particularly mistrustful and intolerant of others.

With the rapid growth and popularity of Facebook among students in higher education, the aim of this study is to explore the usage purposes among students including their academic and non-academic usage purposes in relation to gender, background, study level, and the length of their experience using Facebook. For this purpose, 105 local and international students were surveyed at a large public technology university in Malaysia. The results revealed that academic usage was limited compared to other usage purposes, such as social interaction, news, and entertainment. In relation to the academic usage, the results revealed that that study level and academic usage of Facebook were significantly related, while no significant relations were found in relation to gender, background or experience.

Abstract We consider the ways humans engage in social epistemic actions, to guide each other's attention, prediction, and learning processes towards salient information, at the timescale of online social interaction and joint action. This parallels the active guidance of other's attention, prediction, and learning processes at the longer timescale of niche construction and cultural practices, as discussed in the target article.
