PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a methodology which amalgamates quantitative and qualitative approaches to determine the best placement of mobile logistics hubs (MLH) to be established in different parts of Nepal as a part of real-life project, “Augmentation of National and Local-Level Emergency Logistics Preparedness in Nepal” (2017–2020), implemented by the World Food Programme in cooperation with the Government of Nepal.Design/methodology/approachThe study develops a methodology using a combination of a modified version of the maximal covering location problem (MCLP) and focus group discussion. The MCLP model is used to determine the optimal number and spatial location of MLHs, and focus group discussion is used to identify the five first-priority strategic MLH locations using expert knowledge.FindingsThe authors identify the five first-priority locations for establishing MLHs using an amalgamation of quantitative approach (mathematical model) and qualitative approach (focus group discussion). By amalgamating mathematical model with expert knowledge, findings acceptable to a wide range of stakeholders are obtained. The focus group discussion helps to pinpoint the location of MLHs to city-level granularity which is otherwise impossible with data available on hand.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough multiple experts’ judgements were obtained via focus group discussion, subjectivity and possible bias is inevitable. Overall, the quantitative results of the study are purely based on the data available during the study period; therefore, having updated data could possibly improve the quality of the results.Originality/valueThis study is the first of its kind that uses an amalgamation of mathematical model and expert knowledge to determine the strategic locations of MLHs and has been successful to an extent that the selected locations have been vetted by the government of Nepal for establishing MLHs and are undergoing implementation in real life. This study also considers multiple disaster scenarios and employs the concepts of human development, disaster risk and transportation accessibility to reflect Nepal's socioeconomic, geo-climatic and topographical features.

Abstract. One of the endeavors that the government has done to prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCD) by increasing community participation in the early detection of NCDs is the NCD Integrated Guidance Post (Posbindu). However, in 2017, only 12.96% of the residents in Bogor City accessed it. This meant that the 30% target was not reached. The in this study, we researched the implementation of the NCD Posbindu at Bogor City. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), documentary research, and observations. Eleven informants was interviewed and 24 informants was involved in the FGD. Two NCD Posbindus was observed at Mekarwangi and Cipaku Public Health Centers (PHC). We discovered that the standards and policies have supported the program, but not all the informants were aware of the targets of the program; there were also problems in the number and abilities of the human resources involved, ineffective communication between the cadres, in the coordination between the cadres, and lack of support from local public figures. The program had adequate funding from the regional budget, the Operational Health Aid Funds, and donations from the community. Although more funds are necessary for the promotion and prevention part of the program. We recommend that new cadres are recruited and trained, and that a reward system is used to provide motivation for the cadres.Abstrak. Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk mencegah dan mengendalikan penyakit tidak menular melalui peningkatan peran serta masyarakat dalam deteksi dini faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular adalah melalui Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (Posbindu) Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM). Namun, pada tahun 2017 cakupan kunjungan masyarakat ke Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor hanya sebesar 12,96%. Ini berarti target yang ditetapkan (30%) belum tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi kegiatan Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor. Metode yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), telaah dokumen dan observasi. Informan penelitian terdiri dari 11 informan wawancara mendalam dan 24 informan FGD. Observasi dilakukan di 2 Posbindu PTM di Puskesmas Mekarwangi dan Puskesmas Cipaku. Peneliti menemukan bahwa standar dan kebijakan yang ada telah mendukung program, tetapi belum semua informan mengetahui siapa target program, selain itu juga terdapat permasalahan dalam jumlah dan kemampuan kader, komunikasi yang tidak efektif antar kader, koordinasi antar kader, dan kurangnya dukungan dari tokoh masyarakat local. Pendanaan program tidak mengalami masalah, karena dana program berasal dari APBD, dana Bantuan Operasional Kesehatan, dan sumbangan masyarakat. Walaupun masih membutuhkan pendanaan lebih lanjut untuk promosi dan pencegahan. Peneliti merekomendasikan dilaksanakannya pembaharuan informasi dan pelatihan yang berkala untuk para kader, perekrutan kader baru, pemberian reward atau pemilihan kader teladan dan Posbindu PTM terbaik, peningkatan kerja sama lintas sektor lembaga pendidikan, pemerintah dan swasta.

Communities of a riverside neighbourhood are essential in developing rivers into a sustainable environmental feature. However, their lack of awareness towards flooding and river pollution interferes with the river’s sustainability. The disconnection with nature impairs sustainability; consequently, the river’s value degrades. The awareness can be improved upon by focusing on riverside neighbourhoods. The residents would have some level of awareness due to living sustainably with the river environment. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the living experiences of a riverside neighbourhood’s residents from a social perspective. Data were obtained through semi-structured questionnaires given to 121 residents, a focus group discussion and personal interviews. The questionnaires’ responses were exported and analysed using Principal Component Analysis in SPSS to identify significant components that were pertinent to the aim. Six components were found and were clarified into three themes: ‘river issues’, ‘river management’ and ‘river neighbourhood as a shared environment’. It has been found that exposure to river issues resulted in the residents exercising their resources to overcome those issues, and the cooperation between the residents and the stakeholder was essential in maintaining and achieving a sustainable river environment. The residents’ connection with their neighbourhood was exemplified through their familiarity and neighbourliness. In conclusion, insight into the residents’ experiences would provide a better understanding of river neighbourhoods, which stakeholders could consider in decision-making and planning to ensure the connection with nature is sustained.
