In 2016, various settlements in Garut Regency, notably Garut Kota Sub-District, located along the Cimanuk River, were affected by a flash flood. As a result, many residents relocated to other places, far from the city. This research was conducted in three residential relocation areas: Gadok Housing, Kopi Lombang Housing and Cisereuh Housing. The purpose of the study is to determine the adaptation strategies of relocating communities. The research was conducted using mixed-methods techniques with descriptive quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The results are shown in the adaptation strategies of the affected communities and demonstrate that the relocated communities living in new settlements pursued adaptation strategies such as adjustment and adaptation with reaction. Adaptation by adjustment was carried out by accepting the post-relocation situation and taking up jobs in different sectors. Meanwhile, adaptation by reaction entailed making changes to the physical form of buildings, planting mixed gardens or constructing pet cages in the yard. Relocating residents often lacked the motivation to move to alternative shelters due to financial inability and a sense of comfort in their new settlement.

Detailed Explanation

In this article I discuss cluster analysis as an exploratory tool to support the identification of associations within qualitative data. While not appropriate for all qualitative projects, cluster analysis can be particularly helpful in identifying patterns where numerous cases are studied. I use as illustration a research project on Latino grievances to offer a detailed explanation of the main steps in cluster analysis, providing specific considerations for its use with qualitative data. I specifically describe the issues of data transformation, the choice of clustering methods and similarity measures, the identification of a cluster solution, and the interpretation of the data in a qualitative context.

Abstract- Kalimantan (Borneo) is famous as the island of a Pulau Seribu due to the large number of rivers that run across its cities. One of the longest is the Kahayan river that flows through the city of Palangka Raya. The river as an important aspect in Kalimantan people’s life has made it the starting point for the embryo of a city in the form of river side dwellings that keeps on developing amidst the dynamics of the Kahayan river that undergoes a high degree of change in terms of water level during the dry and rainy seasons. The issue that arises is the addition and loss of space due to the changes of the river water level. The purpose of this research is to describe the adaptation strategies used by the writer in Kampung Pahandut that is unique when compared other kampongs (villages) due to its condition of having dry and flooded streets in the dwelling area. This research is qualitative in nature, employing the narrative descriptive method. The data collection technique uses purposive sampling to collect the physical and activity data. The physical and activity data were gained through a survey of the research object as well as picture taking, field observation, as well as the medium ofinterviews conducted with the Kampung Pahandut villagers. The data was then processed by classifying the numerous changes that had happened in both physical and activity-related terms as well as analyzing and concluding the adaptation strategies. It was found that in Kampung Pahandut there were both physical and activity-related changes as efforts to accommodate its people to enable them to survive the dry and flooding condition due to the changes of the river water level. Within these efforts there was also architectural adaptation based on the study consisting of three adaptation strategies, namely: being adjustable, refittable, and movable.

Post Assessment

A number of researchers and professional fraud examiners have emphasized the need for early detection of frauds. Though there are many ways in which frauds can be detected, a particularly effective and inexpensive way is to identify fraudsters by scrutinizing personnel behaviour for peculiarities typical of fraudsters. Towards this end, the present study compiles a checklist of behavioural red flags of fraud based on data collected with the help of 41 semi-structured interviews. The interviewees constitute people who have personally investigated or closely observed a fraud in the last 3 years. A mixed methods triangulation approach is used to quantify the qualitative data collected from the interviews. Data analysis reveals 16 different behavioural red flags exhibited by fraudsters. An examination of frequencies indicates that strong ambition, extended working hours, social aloofness, dissatisfaction with current job and living standard disproportionate to current means are the most frequently displayed behavioural red flags of fraud. The study also shows that fraudsters exhibit three or four behavioural red flags in a majority of cases. Implications for anti-fraud practitioners are discussed.

The complexity of social problems addressed by the social work profession makes mixed methods research an essential tool. This literature review examined common quantitative and qualitative techniques used by social work researchers and what mixed methods research may add to social work research. Surveys and in-depth interviews were the most common quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, respectively. The t-test was the most frequently used quantitative data analysis method. Although thematic analysis was the most common qualitative data analysis method, 12% of the qualitative data analysis techniques were not specified. Mixed methods research adds three important elements to social work research: voices of participants, comprehensive analyses of phenomena, and enhanced validity of findings. For these reasons, the teaching and use of mixed methods research remain integral to social work.

Increase in urbanization leading to climate changes and human activities have resulted in flash flood scenarios with varying intensity rainfalls in the city. The uneven distribution of rain fall coupled with Mindless urbanization, encroaching upon and filling up of natural drainage channels and lakes to use the high-value urban land for buildings are the main causes of urban flooding. The built environment of urban areas transforms the natural pervious environment into impervious ground surfaces, inhibiting infiltration. Since water cannot infiltrate into the ground in these urban impervious surfaces, it runs across the surface when it rains and as the surfaces become larger and steeper the speed and quantity of runoff increases

In the process of reintegration of the urban system new settlements are emerging on the urban rim, transitional zones are reurbanised, derelict areas within the cities are being deve-loped and degraded urban areas of derelict industrial complexes are being renaturalised. In the periphery combined research and production parks are being set up, in the open land-scape integrated business, trade and recreational centres are springing up. Decentralisation and recentralisation of focal points of development accompany the contemporary processes of reurbanisation and suburbanisation – they are simultaneous and move in two-direction i. e. to and from the city. We understand them as manifestation of a dynamic balance among contradiction existing between the centre and the rim. Deindustrialisation and relocation of production and distribution from the centres of gravity to the periphery generate extensive degraded urban areas within cities and between the city and suburbs. The periphery is being urbanised with the creation of new, dispersed and nonhierachical poles of development, and the city and inner city is undergoing reurbanization. The general environmental conditions in the city and in the countryside are being equalised, the potentials of development are being sought in the comparative advantages of local conditions: be it attractive urban dis-tricts, be it suburban entities or countryside areas.

Migrasi dari desa ke kota biasanya didorong oleh tertinggalnya pertumbuhan desa dibandingkan dengan pertumbuhan kota. Di perkotaan, sektor informal menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam mencari lapangan kerja. Perubahan tempat tinggal dan tempat bekerja dari desa ke kota mengharuskan migran untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan barunya untuk memperoleh kehidupan yang lebih baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh keragaman strategi adaptasi terhadap tingkat taraf hidup migran sektor informal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif didukung pendekatan kualitatif. Data kuantitatif diolah menggunakan uji regresi dengan pemilihan responden menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh antara keragaman strategi adaptasi sosial dan ekonomi terhadap tingkat taraf hidup migran. Strategi adaptasi sosial yang dominan diterapkan migran ialah  mengikuti organisasi kedaerahan dan melakukan interaksi sesama pendatang, sedangkan strategi adaptasi ekonomi yang dominan diterapkan ialah memilih jenis barang dagangan yang sama dengan migran terdahulu, berinvestasi dan menghemat pengeluaran.Kata kunci: adaptasi ekonomi, adaptasi sosial, taraf hidup==========ABSTRACTThe migration from rural to urban areas is usually driven by lagging rural growth compared to urban growth. In urban areas, the informal sector is one alternative in finding employment. The change of residence and workplace from village to city requires migrants to adjust to their new environment to get a better life. This study aims to analyze the effect of the diversity of adaptation strategies on the standard of living of migrants in the informal sector. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach supported by a qualitative approach. Quantitative data is processed using a regression test with the selection of respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed an influence between the diversity of social and economic adaptation strategies for migrant living standards. The dominant social adaptation strategy applied by migrants is to follow regional organizations and interact with fellow migrants, while the dominant economic adaptation strategy applied is to choose the same type of goods for sale as previous migrants, invest and save expenses.Keywords: economy adaptation, living standard, social adaptation

<p class="normal">This study aimed at analyzing how mobile assisted language learning (MALL) may be used to aid second/foreign language (L2) learning. So as to reach this goal, the Duolingo platform, one of the most popular apps among L2 learners, was analyzed in terms of its possibilities and limitations for L2 learning as perceived by its users. With that aim, a study was carried out with 80 participants, 45 of whom were L2 learners who answered an online survey about their preferences for L2 learning, 25 MALL users and 10 L2 teachers who were interviewed. Data analysis used a mixed methods design with predominantly qualitative data. Results of the study showed that participants recognize the relevance of MALL for L2 learning and think that the Duolingo may aid L2 learning to a certain extent, but agree that a teacher is necessary to foster interaction and the development of production skills in L2. Based on these results the study concluded that L2 teachers should consider using blended approaches combining MALL in traditional classes.</p>
