Kebayoran Baru was a well-planned new town. However, over time, Kebayoran Baru has been transforming, whether it is planned or not. One form of transformation in Kebayoran Baru has been the presence of informal settlements, such as those on Jalan Leuser. The kampong, which is claimed by its residents has been inhabited since 1955, has faced various challenges along the way, one of which is the threat of land expropriation and eviction. The threat of eviction stems from a land dispute involving the residents of Kampung Leuser as the party occupying the land and PAM Jaya as the party who claims to have rights to the land. Equiped with an HGB certificate under its name, PAM Jaya in 2016 requested residents to leave the land immediately. Residents who claimed to have lived on the land for more than 60 years firmly rejected PAM Jaya's claim and fought back. This study uses a qualitative research approach and a semi-autonomous social field perspective, aiming to understand the challenges of effective citizen control over the land and the prospects for future settlements. The challenges are formulated based on the background of the people's control over the land, the process, and its development until now. Meanwhile, prospects are presented through possible scenarios, either pessimistic, moderate, or optimistic scenarios. The results show that until now (2019), four years after the eviction plan began, Kampung Leuser still survives. In fact, the residents have also sued BPN as the party that issued the HGB certificate for PAM Jaya. This proves that the survival of Kampung Leuser is not impossible. Of the three scenarios that can be pursued in the future, the moderate scenario can provide a sense of justice for various parties. Furthermore, this dispute is expected to provide a lesson for the field of regional and urban planning, both practically and theoretically, regarding solutions in the management of informal settlements, both in the new city of Kebayoran Baru, as well as in other new cities in Indonesia.Keywords: informal settlements; semi-autonomous social field; Kampung Leuser – Kebayoran Baru AbstrakKebayoran Baru merupakan kota baru yang direncanakan dengan baik. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, Kebayoran Baru mengalami transformasi, baik direncanakan maupun tidak. Salah satu bentuk transformasi di Kebayoran Baru adalah hadirnya permukiman informal, seperti yang antara lain berada di Jalan Leuser. Kampung yang diklaim oleh warga telah dihuni sejak 1955 ini, dalam perjalanannya mengalami berbagai tantangan, salah satunya adalah ancaman pengambil-alihan lahan dan penggusuran. Ancaman penggusuran ini bermula dari sengketa tanah yang melibatkan pihak warga Kampung Leuser selaku pihak yang menempati lahan dan PAM Jaya selaku pihak yang mengklaim memiliki hak atas lahan tersebut. Berbekal sertifikat HGB atas namanya, pihak PAM Jaya pada 2016 meminta warga untuk segera meninggalkan lahan tersebut. Warga yang mengaku sudah tinggal di lahan tersebut sejak lebih dari 60 tahun dengan tegas menolak klaim pihak PAM Jaya dan melakukan perlawanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dan perspeltif semi autonomous social field, bertujuan untuk memahami tantangan penguasaan efektif warga atas tanah tersebut, dan prospek permukimannya ke depan. Tantangan dirumuskan melalui latar belakang penguasaan warga atas lahan tersebut, proses, dan perkembangannya hingga saat ini. Sementara, prospek disajikan melalui skenario jalan keluar yang dapat ditempuh, baik skenario pesimis, moderat, maupun optimis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hingga saat ini (2019), empat tahun setelah rencana penggusuran bermula, Kampung Leuser masih bertahan. Bahkan, pihak warga juga sudah menggugat BPN selaku pihak yang mengeluarkan sertifikat HGB untuk PAM Jaya. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa bertahannya eksistensi Kampung Leuser bukanlah hal yang tidak mungkin. Dari tiga skenario yang dapat ditempuh ke depan, maka skenario moderat dapat memberikan rasa keadilan bagi berbagai pihak. Lebih jauh diharapkan sengketa ini dapat menjadi pembelajaran bagi bidang ilmu perencanaan wilayah dan kota baik secara praktis maupun teoritis mengenai solusi dalam pengelolaan permukiman informal, baik di kota baru Kebayoran Baru, maupun di kota-kota baru lainnya di Indonesia.

<p>Breast ironing also known as breast flattening, has been considered as one of the most widespread and systematic violations of the universal human rights to personal integrity and sexual autonomy perpetuated against the girl child. This exhilarating practice which is typically carried out by the girl’s mother on the pretext of protecting the female child from teenage sexual harassment and rape, early pregnancy and dropping out of school is unfortunately done to protect family name. Employing the qualitative research approach and the expository analytic method, this research reveals that this practice has ensuring clinical, psychological and social consequences on the female victim. The paper considers this practice a rape based on the fact that the female victim’s consent is never sought. Natural sense of justice demands that the victim whose personality integrity and right to sexual autonomy was to be defiled and destroyed deserves to give an informed consent. Therefore, the paper concludes that this harmful practice is an abuse because it violently violates the girl child right full sexual autonomy and right to possess natural physiological endowment that adorns a woman. This paper therefore recommends that strict laws and penalties should be promulgated to totally abolish and eradicate this barbaric and horrific mutilation.</p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of vernacular architecture and traditional knowledge to building resilience in Nepal and the impact of modernisation on that resilience and architectural diversity. Design/methodology/approach Using an action research approach, including field observations and discussions with local community members, artisans, architects, engineers and other international experts, the study examines the resilience of traditional building typologies to natural hazards in Nepal, including earthquake; the changes that have occurred over time leading to the failure and/or rejection of traditional construction; and a review of post-earthquake reconstruction options, both traditional and modern. Findings Although traditional approaches have been cyclically tested over time, this study found that changes in building materials, technologies, knowledge and skills, access to resources, maintenance practices, urban environments and societal aspirations have all contributed to the popular rejection of vernacular architecture following the earthquakes. Research limitations/implications The research is limited to traditional timber and masonry construction in the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding mountain areas. Practical implications To improve resilience the study identifies the need for capacity building in both traditional and modern construction technologies; adoption of approaches that use local materials, knowledge and skills, whilst addressing local timber shortages and access issues; a transparent construction certification system; good drainage; and regular maintenance. Originality/value The study critically evaluates the impact of technological, environmental, social and economic changes over time on the resilience of vernacular housing in Nepal.

This chapter and the following Chapter 5 are interconnected as they both discuss Albanian diaspora mobilizations. This chapter lays out political dynamics in the Albanian transnational social field and presents the profiles of the four types of diaspora entrepreneurs that operate within it. Incomplete nation-building and state-building processes have left Albanians scattered throughout the Balkans since the early twentieth century, where they currently live as either majorities or minorities. Weak state capacities of Kosovo alongside those of adjacent fragile states, as well as problematic treatment of Albanians where they are minorities, most notably North Macedonia and Serbia, have created dynamics conducive for Albanians to emigrate from the region and mobilize in the diaspora. Kosovo’s independence was a goal not simply for Albanians from Kosovo but was widespread among other diaspora Albanians until the 2008 independence. Albanians socialized with each other in the diaspora, irrespective of their original homeland, thereby forging bonds and seeking Kosovo’s statehood through a transnational social field perspective. More recently, another field-wide idea has emerged, of an ‘Albanian space’ formed through the EU integration of Balkan states with Albanian populations. This chapter presents data on migration in the Albanian field, in the Balkans and globally, and specifies the individual profiles of Albanian diaspora entrepreneurs.

Practice of restorative justice is the handling of criminal acts that are not only seen from the perspective of the law, but also related to moral, social, economic, religious and customary aspects. Local customs, as well as various other restorative considerations will deal with the perpetrators, victims, and stakeholders in the community, in collective problem solving, the purpose of which is to repair damage, restore the quality of relationships and facilitate the reintegration of the parties involved and related. This study uses research methods with a normative juridical research approach. Restorative Justice, namely the punishment imposed by the court is a punishment aimed at maximizing the condition of the victim as before the criminal incident befell the victim. The issue of justice and respect for human rights does not only apply to criminals but also victims of crime who must get a sense of justice so that the objective of the criminal justice system can be achieved with a sense of justice for the victims and perpetrators. It is very important to immediately make efforts to reform the criminal law that puts forward the substantial justice of victims and perpetrators.

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper, constructivist account of multi-brand loyalty. Previous literature has acknowledged the existence of multi-brand loyalty, but described it from a narrow, rational and primarily utilitarian point of view. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on open-ended, depth interviews. Data were labeled, coded and classified into different topics, and thematic analysis was used to identify three dominant themes. Findings – Multi-brand loyalty emerged in three forms: biased, specialized and perfect substitutes. These relationships may undergo dynamic transformations over time. Further, family tradition and perceived freedom were identified as two important motivations for consumers to be loyal to more than one brand. The managerial implications address suggestions on how companies can avoid that consumers become loyal to several brands instead of maintaining single-brand loyalty. Originality/value – The study is the first to address multi-brand loyalty based on a qualitative research approach and provides preliminary insights into occurrences and motivations related to the construct.

In Yinchuan, China, a new urban area is planned for 160,000 inhabitants, in the vicinity of the Yellow River and close to a valuable natural landscape. To achieve sustainable development, an approach integrating urban planning, transport, energy, solid waste and water resources management is necessary. In order to achieve this, the SimbioCity approach was applied, where resource use and pollutant loads are reduced by creating cycles in which materials and water are recycled to the largest possible extent. In this context, the stormwater system is an important component. The objectives for the planned stormwater system in Yinchuan New City were to reduce flood risk and introduce stormwater purification, to maintain or improve water quality in the existing water bodies. A Sustainable Urban Drainage System approach was proposed and applied, during configuration and design of the new town's infrastructure. This proved both successful and cost effective.

The informal construction of dwellings (housing) and the informal growth of transport infrastructure are two main dynamics of an informal settlement growth phenomenon that may influence each other over time. Some studies have been done to understand the growth mechanisms of informal settlements, but not enough attention has been paid to study the informal growth of transport infrastructure dynamic. In this study, the morphology and spatial pattern of different types of informal settlements have been reviewed and categorized to clearly define and formulate the mechanisms of informal transport infrastructure formation in the context of informal settlement. To this end, two different dynamics have been suggested in this study for modelling of the growth of informal transport infrastructure. In the first suggested dynamic, the infrastructure is extended directly as the result of consolidation of the physical signs of dwellers’ movement (foot prints) on the environment over time. In the second proposed dynamic that is the main focus of this study, the informal infrastructure growth could be considered as the function of dwelling construction (housing) dynamic in the settlement. In this context, informal transport infrastructure is extended based on an indirect dynamic by consideration of the void spaces by dwellers as the accessibility corridors in the settlement during the construction process of the settlement. Finally, to study the validity of the second proposed dynamic for modelling of the indirect growth of informal transport infrastructure, a simple conceptual model was developed and tested and the results were evaluated and discussed.

Informal land disputes settlement mechanisms epitomize a classic example of valuable and useful indigenous knowledge, which Africans have acquired for ages but is not being recognized and sometimes not fully utilized in contemporary African societies. The study aimed to assess the role of informal land dispute settlement mechanisms on family land ownership in Tanzania: A case of Mbeya district. The specific objectives of the study were to identify nature and causes of informal land dispute settlement mechanisms on family land ownership in Mbeya district and to examine the effectiveness of informal land dispute settlement mechanisms on family land ownership in Mbeya district. The study adopted case study research design, target population of the study was 446 respondents, and sample size of the study was 128 respondents. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative research approach data collection tools used was questionnaires, interview and focus group discussion. The study findings indicated that causes of disputes on family land ownership and effectiveness of informal dispute settlement mechanism significantly lead to family land ownership conflicts in Mbeya district as well as in Tanzania. The study concluded that informal land dispute settlement mechanisms help people within the community to attain land ownership through chiefs and community elders  because this mechanism can strengthen  solidarity, ethnics discipline in the community and recommended that the government should formulate policy and law governing informal land dispute settlement mechanisms on family land ownership to be accommodated in the local system to facilitate quickly land matters rather than depending on western system.

ABSTRAKSengketa pertanahan tetap akan ada ketika para pihak telah memposisikan tanah sebagai faktor produksi yang utama ditambah kemudian tumpang tindihnya peraturan yang berhubungan dengan pertanahan dan sumber daya alam. Sengketa pertanahan dapat melahirkan anarkisme yang tidak jarang menimbulkan berbagai bentuk pelanggaran hak-hak asasi manusia. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif, dengan kesimpulan sebagai berikut: Badan peradilan yang ada telah dipandang tidak lagi sederhana, cepat dan biaya ringan. Pengadilan pertanahan merupakan solusi guna mengatasi kebuntuan dalam penyelesaian sengketa pertanahan, pengadilan pertanahan tidak hanya sekedar formalistik-legalistik dalam mewujudkan keadilan. Keberadaan pengadilan pertanahan dibutuhkan dalam rangka terwujudnya penyelesaian sengketa pertanahan secara cepat, sistematis, sederhana, berkeadilan dan biaya ringan.Kata kunci: sengketa; pertanahan; perngadilan pertanahan.ABSTRACTLand disputes will still arise when the parties have positioned land as the main factor of production plus overlapping regulations relating to land and natural resources. Land disputes can give rise to anarchism which often results in various forms of violations of human rights. The research approach used is normative legal research, with the following conclusions: Existing judicial bodies are no longer considered simple, fast and low cost. Land court is a solution to overcome impasse in the resolution of land disputes, land court is not just formalistic-legalistic in realizing justice. The existence of a land court is needed in order to realize a land dispute resolution that is fast, systematic, simple, fair and low cost.Keywords: dispute; land; land court.
