Commuting as a Spatial Feature of International Concern's Location in a Major City. Example of Poznań The study presents the spatial aspects of the location of a branch of an international concern in a major city, viz. in Poznań, in terms of commuting streams, both from the city area, and the surrounding area, as well as their variation in the period 2000-2009. In order to characterise the spatial arrangement of commuting, the study used centrographic measures to analyse the variation of commuting directions and identify the areas of the greatest concentration. Furthermore, it was observed that there was a regular disproportion between the group of employees commuting from the city area, and the group of employees commuting from the region, the latter of which was smaller. It thus seems that an international concern production plant influences the local labour market to a significant extent, displaying the strongest regional impact within the range of 20 km from its location, with the direction of this influence being clearly related to the plant's location in relation to city borders, which might be linked to better communicational accessibility.

Sunda Kelapa Harbor is a port located in Penjaringan Subdistrict, Penjaringan Village, North Jakarta, which was formerly called Kalapa Port in the 12th century and is the most important port of the Kingdom of Pajajaran. Then at the time of the entry of Islam and the invaders from Europe, the Port of Kalapa was contested between the Archipelago and European kingdoms. In 1970 after the Dutch succeeded in taking control of the area and around it made the port name of Kalapa transform into Sunda Kelapa Substitution. Considering that the Sunda Kelapa Port and the surrounding area are regions with high historical values, the issuance of the city area master plan is stated in the DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 36 of 2014. The Governor's Regulation stipulates that the Sunda Kelapa Port will be developed into a historical tourism area and commercial facilities will be developed in it. The general objective of this study is to conduct a feasibility study on the development of commercial facilities in Sunda Kelapa Port. The feasibility study consists of location, legality, market and investment analysis. This writing places more emphasis on location analysis and market analysis that will show the potential of development to be carried out in a limited section of the mall. The results of this study are expected to provide input to those who will develop the project in the area of Sunda Kelapa Port precisely in the limited mall section with the concept center. AbstrakPelabuhan Sunda Kelapa merupakan pelabuhan yang berlokasi di Kecamatan Penjaringan, Kelurahan Penjaringan, Jakarta Utara yang dahulu bernama Pelabuhan Kalapa pada abad ke 12 dan merupakan pelabuhan terpenting Kerajaan Pajajaran. Kemudian pada masa masuknya Islam dan para Penjajah dari Eropa, Pelabuhan Kalapa diperebutkan antara kerajaan-kerajaan Nusantara dan Eropa. Pada tahun 1970 setelah Belanda berhasil menguasai daerah tersebut dan sekitarmya membuat nama pelabuhan Kalapa berubah menjadi Pelubahan Sunda Kelapa. Mengingat Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa dan daerah sekitarnya merupakan wilayah dengan nilai sejarah yang tinggi menyebabkan diterbitkannya rencana induk kawasan kota yang tertera pada Peraturan Gubernur DKI Jakarta No. 36 Tahun 2014. Peraturan Gubernur tersebut menetapkan Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa akan dikembangkan menjadi kawasan pariwisata sejarah dan akan dikembangkan fasilitas komersial di dalamnya. Tujuan umum penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan studi kelayakan pengembangan fasilitas komersial di Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa. Studi kelayakan tersebut terdiri dari analisis lokasi, legalitas, pasar dan investasi. Penulisan ini lebih menekankan pada analisis lokasi, analisis legalitas dan analisis pasar yang akan memperlihatkan potensi dari pengembangan yang akan dilakukan pada bagian mall terbatas. Hasil kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberi masukan kepada pihak yang akan melakukan pengembangan proyek di area Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa tepatnya pada bagian mall terbatas dengan konsep Theme Center.

This paper explores the relationship between the labour market and the spatial organisation of urban areas. A 'disintegration thesis' is introduced which argues that the separation of social groups by residence reflects the occupational divisions in the local labour force. The redistribution of paid work which accompanies structural change in the labour market is therefore expected to be reflected in changes to the spatial organisation of employment. Primary mechanisms are the decentralisation of employment opportunities from the city centre, reductions in the length of the journey to work and the closer geographic clustering of home and work. The argument is illustrated with data from the Wellington region.

Gunung Anyar Tambak is one of the villages that is located adjacent to the UPN "Veteran" campus in East Java. Most (2/3) of the Gunung Anyar Tambak area is the pond area, which has the main yield is milkfish. Besides being sold in fresh form, milkfish from ponds from Gunung Anyar Tambak are also processed into a variety of processed products including shredded, crackers, soft thorns and milkfish “sapit”. Milkfish “Sapit” is a processed milkfish which is unique in its serving. The milkfish are clamped using bamboo stems and then processed using a choice of spices that make a distinctive taste in this dish. Processing by burning, causing a distinctive aroma that is not forgotten. Barokah is one of the community groups of “sapit” milkfish processing in RW I of Gunung Anyar Tambak Village which consists of 6 people. Chairman of UD. Barokan is Hj's. Khasibah, explained that most of the milkfish produced are only fulfilling orders from the surrounding area and orders from outside the city to be used as souvenirs typical of Surabaya. From observations and interviews it is known that the problem in processing milkfish is a very simple packaging that is a very thin plastic bag that is not closed. The second problem is that the packaging has no labeling at all, even though the label can identify the identity of the product in the package. The importance of labels on food products in addition to being the identity of the packaged product is also a communication between producers and consumers. Therefore a very absolute label must be given to the marketed food products. Training has been conducted on packaging and labeling milkfish “sapit” in UD. BAROKAH, Gunung Anyar Tambak, Surabaya. Before being packed with a vacuum packer, milkfish saplings are first dried in a cabinet dryer for 3 hours at 60°C. Labeling on milkfish packaging is in accordance with the law on food labeling on primary (plastic) and secondary (carton) packaging. In addition to providing training, our team also donates dryers and Vacuum Sealers.

In recent years, rainfall-induced waterlogging has become a common hazard in the highly urbanized coastal city of Chattogram, Bangladesh, resulting in a high magnitude of property damage and economic loss. Therefore, the primary objective of this research was to prepare a waterlogging inventory map and understand the spatial variations of the risk by means of hazard intensity, exposure, and vulnerability of waterlogging. In this research, the inventory map and factors influencing waterlogging hazards were determined from a participatory survey, and other spatial data, including land elevation, population, and structural data, were collected from secondary sources. The analytical hierarchy process was applied to measure the hazard intensity, and the exposure and vulnerability were estimated by overlaying the spatial data onto the hazard intensity map. A total of 58 locations were identified as waterlogging affected, which covered ~8.42% of the city area. We showed that ~3.03% of the city area was greatly vulnerable to waterlogging in terms of their social, infrastructure, critical facilities, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities. The obtained waterlogging risk index map suggested that ~2.71% of the study area was at very high risk, followed by moderate (~0.15%), low (~3.89%), and very low (~1.67%). The risk analysis presented in this study was a simple method that can be applied to assess the relative risk of waterlogging in different regions, and the results were applicable to the prevention and mitigation of waterlogging for Chattogram City.
