In such a modern and complex era like today, urban millennials are used to growing up with digital era that works as a new (arus ruang gerak) in their lives as an individual and social being. The digital era grows slowly as a part of work, culture, and process that can not be separated from human lives. Nevertheless, in fulfilling their social needs, digital technology is usually used only as a media component which in the process is done secondarily where it tends to create a moral change towards individualistic. Therefore, a place that can accommodate social activities without letting the digital flow to stream free and unrestrained, and offers education on how to control the digital flow instead, is needed to fulfill social needs in this digital era. Architecture discusses how to fulfill the digital community needs as an existential tool, because despite everything, human still needs face-to-face communication as a primary means of communication. Digital Hub is presented as a place where interaction can happen primarily in a digital era. Specifically, this project also aims to build digital communities where individuals are not isolated from social life, and receives an existential from the balance between primary interaction needs and digital needs. This becomes relevant in a developing society, where changes in life necessity is happening continously, replacing old ways with new techniques. AbstrakPada era yang serba modern dan kompleks seperti saat ini, generasi milenial perkotaan sudah terbiasa untuk tumbuh sebagai era digital yang berperan untuk menjadi arus ruang gerak baru di dalam kehidupannya sebagai makhluk individu dan sosial. Era digital pun secara perlahan tumbuh sebagai bagian dari karya, budaya, dan proses yang tidak dapat terlepas dari perjalanan kehidupan manusia. Namun, dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan sosialnya, teknologi digital sering kali hanya dimanfaatkan sebagai komponen media yang dalam prosesnya dilakukan secara sekunder di mana memiliki kecenderungan untuk memancing perubahan moral ke arah individualistis. Dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan sosial di era digital tersebut, maka dibutuhkan wadah sosial sebagai wadah yang tidak membiarkan arus era digital mengalir begitu saja, tetapi berbicara mengenai bagaimana cara mengontrol arus digital itu sendiri. Dari hal tersebut, arsitektur berbicara tentang cara untuk memenuhi kebutuhan komunitas digital sebagai sarana eksistensi mereka. Karena bagaimanapun juga manusia tetap membutuhkan sifat komunikasi face-to-face yang melalui proses secara primer. Digital Hub hadir sebagai ruang interaksi secara primer pada era digital. Secara lebih spesifik, kehadiran proyek juga dimaksudkan untuk menghadirkan komunitas-komunitas digital di mana individu tidak terisolasi dari kehidupan sosial, melainkan memperoleh nilai eksistensi dari adanya keseimbangan antara kebutuhan interaksi primernya dengan kebutuhan digital yang bertumbuh di dalamnya. Hal tersebut menjadi relevan seiring dengan masyarakat yang sedang terus berkembang, di mana terdapat perubahan kebutuhan secara terus-menerus untuk mengganti cara-cara lama dengan teknik yang baru.

Jakarta in an era that is as modern and complex as it is today, the millennial generation is accustomed to growing and developing in the digital era which now serves as a new movement of space in the lives of its people. The digital age is slowly growing as part of the work, culture, and processes that can not be separated from the journey of human life. However, in meeting their social needs, digital technology is often only used as a component of the media which is done in a secondary process which has a tendency to provoke moral change toward individualism. In fulfilling social needs in the digital age, a social container is needed as a container that does not let the flow of the digital era just flow, but talks about how to control the digital flow itself. From this, architecture talks about ways to meet the needs of the digital community as a means of their existence. Because after all humans still need the nature of face-to-face communication through the primary process. Through these issues, Setiabudi is one area that is suitable for digital social issues and individualism which is now developing rapidly in the region. The approach to solving these problems is through a third place theory approach in architecture. By paying attention to the socio-economic conditions and habits of the surrounding residents and the phenomena that can be found, problem solving is in line with the development of industry 4.0, namely through the construction of electronic sports arena facilities that are third place in the region. AbstrakJakarta pada era yang serba modern dan kompleks seperti saat ini, generasi millennialnya sudah terbiasa untuk tumbuh dan berkembang di era digital yang kini berperan sebagai arus ruang gerak baru dalam kehidupannya masyarakatnya.

Pendekatan penyelesaian masalah tersebut melalui pendekatan teori third place dalam arsitektur. Dengan memperhatikan kondisi sosial-ekonomi dan kebiasaan warga sekitar serta fenomena-fenomena yang ada, dapat ditemukan penyelesaian masalah yang selaras dengan perkembangan industri 4.0, yaitu melalui pembangunan fasilitas arena olahraga elektronik yang bersifat third place di kawasan tersebut.

The implementation of court in Indonesia has not fulfilled as expected because any parties involving in court has a lack of capacity, consistency, and integrity to provide legal service seriously. Some people assume that court services are not still optimal. To settle the problems, the Supreme Court just has officially issued Regulation No. 1 of 2019 regarding the Administration of Cases and Legal Proceedings in Courts via Electronic Means on 8 August 2019. This regulation is believed as an appropriate solution to face those problems. To elaborate more, this study illustrates a judicial reform in Indonesia, e-court, and access to justice, the conception of e-court including the performance of e-court and its drawbacks and challenges in the digital era. The research method uses normative research by approaching legal review and literature study. The technique of primary data collection applies Supreme Court regulation while means of secondary data are collected from concept or theory as set out under bibliography. Judicial reform in Indonesia is indicated by issuing new regulation regarding e-Court and e-Litigation, the implementation e-Court itself has been attributed to 32 courts consisting of general religious, and state administrative courts. Through e-Court, access to justice more transparent and accessible. Besides, justice seekers have no worries regarding distance issues as of e-Court may allow them to fight in court without face to face. Parties have no doubt relating to the acceleration of court to settle any dispute in Indonesia.

PurposeSocial capital, understood as intangible community values available through a network of connections, is a factor in the development of societies and improving quality of life. It helps to remove economic inequalities and prevent poverty and social exclusion, stimulate social and regional development, civic attitudes and social engagement and build a civic society as well as local and regional identity. Many of these tasks may be implemented by libraries, which, apart from providing access to information, may also offer a number of services associated with social needs. The purpose of this paper is to present the roles and functions that libraries may serve in local communities in terms of assistance, integration and development based on classical social capital theories.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews the classical concepts of social capital in the context of libraries. It analyses the findings of Pierre-Félix Bourdieu, James Coleman, Francis Fukuyama, Robert Putnam, Nan Lin, Ronald Stuart Burt, Wayne Baker and Alejandro Portes. Based on their respective concepts, the paper analyses the role of the contemporary library in the social life of local communities. In particular, it focuses on the possible new functions that public libraries may serve.FindingsA critical review of the concept of social capital revealed certain dependencies between libraries and their neighbourhoods. With new services that respond to the actual social needs, libraries may serve as a keystone, namely they may integrate, animate and engage local communities. This, however, requires a certain approach to be adopted by the personnel and governing authorities as well as infrastructure and tangible resources.Originality/valueThe social engagement of libraries is usually described from the practical perspective (reports on the services provided) or in the context of research on the impact of respective projects on specific groups of users (research reports). A broader approach, based on original social theories, is rarely encountered. The paper draws on classical concepts of social capital and is a contribution to the discussion on possible uses of those concepts based on an analysis of the role of libraries in social life and in strengthening the social capital of local communities.

Cardiac rehabilitation improves the outcomes of individuals following a cardiac event; however, only 50% of those eligible for cardiac rehabilitation in the UK sign up to a traditional face-to-face programme. The principal causes cited for non-attendance include living in a rural area, work or career commitments, lack of choice in location, gender, ethnicity and social economic constraints, and dislike of group participation. Alternative methods of delivery could ensure greater participation in cardiac rehabilitation activities, particularly among women, who are underrepresented. Studies into digital cardiac rehabilitation reveal improved quality of life, dietary intake and increased physical activity all equal to or an improvement compared to traditional approaches. Embracing digital approaches to cardiac rehabilitation is now timely with COVID-19 requirements for social distancing.

This paper reviews the contemporary discussion on the epistemological and ontological effects of Big Data within social science, observing an increased focus on relationality and complexity, and a tendency to naturalize social phenomena. The epistemic limits of this emerging computational paradigm are outlined through a comparison with the discussions in the early days of digitalization, when digital technology was primarily seen through the lens of dematerialization, and as part of the larger processes of “postmodernity”. Since then, the online landscape has become increasingly centralized, and the “liquidity” of dematerialized technology has come to empower online platforms in shaping the conditions for human behavior. This contrast between the contemporary epistemological currents and the previous philosophical discussions brings to the fore contradictions within the study of digital social life: While qualitative change has become increasingly dominant, the focus has gone towards quantitative methods; while the platforms have become empowered to shape social behavior, the focus has gone from social context to naturalizing social patterns; while meaning is increasingly contested and fragmented, the role of hermeneutics has diminished; while platforms have become power hubs pursuing their interests through sophisticated data manipulation, the data they provide is increasingly trusted to hold the keys to understanding social life. These contradictions, we argue, are partially the result of a lack of philosophical discussion on the nature of social reality in the digital era; only from a firm metatheoretical perspective can we avoid forgetting the reality of the system under study as we are affected by the powerful social life of Big Data.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Interpersonal relationships are an important part of social and personal health. Studies of social capital show that individuals and communities with stronger ties are have an economic and health advantage. Yet, loneliness and isolation are becoming major public health issues. There is a pressing need to measure where relationships are strong and how accessible one’s social ties are, in order to learn how to better support face-to-face meetings and promote social health in society. However, the datasets we use to study people and human behaviour are most often mobility data and census data &amp;ndash; which tell us little about personal relationships. These data can be augmented with information about where people have ties, and how their relationships unfold over geographic space. The data we use to study the built environment include building footprints and infrastructure, and we can annotate these data by how (well) infrastructure supports different kinds of relationships, in order to ask new questions about how the landscape encourages relationships.</p><p> We suggest a list of methods for representing interpersonal relationships and social life at various socio-spatial levels of aggregation. We give an example of each, with an effort to span various use cases and spatial scales of data modelling.</p><p> <strong>Dyads (line) and Ego-based (star):</strong> This geometric model represents a relationship between two individuals (Figure 1A). The individuals can be geolocated to households, administrative units, real-time locations, etc. The tie can be given a nominal category such as family or co-worker, and edge weights that signify reported relationship strength, frequency of contact, frequency of face-to-face meeting, et cetera. Star models represent a central individual and his/her geolocated ties (that radiate from the centre). The star illustrates the theoretical concept of personal extensibility.</p><p> <strong>Points of Interest (points):</strong> Points of interest provide a place-based perspective (note that these entities can also be represented as polygons such as building footprints, or lines such as gradients of interaction on a subway). Certain places are better suited for fostering relationships than others (Figure 1B), and each can be annotated with their ability to foster: new ties (a nightclub), gender-bonding ties (bowling leagues), romantic ties (romantic restaurants), inter-generational ties (a religious facility), professional ties (conferences), et cetera.</p><p> <strong>Polygons/Administrative Units (polygons):</strong> These data are attached to administrative areal units (Census boundaries, provinces, zones, etc.). The data represent surveyed data on relationship-related variables in censuses, social surveys and social capital surveys. These surveys ask about trust, friendliness with neighbours, social life, belongingness to institutions, and more (Figure 1C), illustrating the social health of an area.</p><p> <strong>Aggregate Flows and Social Networks (lies and networks):</strong> This model illustrates the geolocated, social ties within a spatial extent, i.e. the social networks of a group of many people over a large extent (Figure 1D). Data can be sourced from social media, telecommunications patterns, and other declarations of relationships.</p><p> <strong>Regions (polygons):</strong> Regions, that may describe neighbourhoods within one city, or an agglomeration of cities, can be defined by social ties. Instead of commuting or economic ties, regions are defined by a preponderance of social ties within a given polygon, and a lack of ties between polygons (or between the polygon and any external area). Social regions represent a likeness and strong ties between the people that live within the region (Figure 1E).</p><p> Given these methods for representing social life and interpersonal relationships as GIS data, new questions may arise. At the <strong>dyadic level</strong>: how can we map the presence of a relationship between two people? At the <strong>ego-based level</strong>: how far and with what kind of diversity do people have ties? At the <strong>point of interest level</strong>: what kinds of mapable data can describe places’ ability to create new relationships and foster existing relationships? At the <strong>polygonal level</strong>: what kinds of mapable data can show where relationships are strong or weak? At the <strong>levels of flows and networks</strong>: what kinds of mapable data can describe systems of diffusion? At the <strong>regional level</strong>: what physical and administrative boundaries guide social ties?</p><p> For cartographers and geographic modellers looking to study social life, data acquisition, analysis, and mapping are challenges. The point of this extended abstract is to inventory the possibilities of mapping these data, open a dialog for experimenting with what kinds of symbologies, associated variables, classification schemes, visualization techniques and data collection opportunities are available for this purpose. We also hope to create spaces for comparative studies that describe the implications of these choices. In our search, we find that the major research challenges are the following: 1) privacy 2) geolocatable data 3) qualitative vs. quantitative data and 4) assurance statistically-significant samples sizes 5) analysis and modelling 6) visualization. Nevertheless, our goal is to make these indicators and data more GIS-friendly and available to geospatial analysts, modellers and cartographers.</p>

One alternative to learning Arabic in the digital era is through online learning using digital technology. The process of learning Arabic in Indonesia has developed rapidly in recent times. The transition from face-to-face to online classes requires adjustments in the learning approach. This research used literature review method. Sources of data were books, articles, and other relevant sources. Data were analyzed through data collection procedures, data grouping, data display, and drawing conclusion. The validity of the data was tested through source and technical triangulation. The result of the study indicated that there are three appropriate approaches for learning Arabic online in this digital era, namely the contextual approach, constructivism approach, and behaviorism approach. The choice of approach should meet the students’ needs and learning conditions. Each approach could be implemented through a variety of methods and techniques. The integration of these three approaches in learning Arabic online provides broad opportunities for students to study independently and develop language skills aspects through various available digital media platforms.

The study of religious tolerance this century has been entering the culmination point of saturation, in which it is no longer viewed relevantly with technology 4.0 or it is generally called millennium generation. Technology development is directly proportional to social life because humans enter the digital era in which the actualization and self-existence are prioritized. Therefore, in social interaction, it often makes friction and horizontal conflict and even social media felt more concerned about. Tolerance is gradually degraded in its implementation because it is assumed that tolerance givers have a higher level (majority) than the recipient of tolerance (minority). In this case, the tolerance model needs contextual modification, namely religious moderation as a fundamental of more acceptable social interaction among citizens and netizens.

Contemporary social life is often depicted, in and out of the social sciences, as an ever-worsening subterfuge of alienation, ennui, and the systematic destruction of traditional, human-scaled, publicly-accessible, “organic” sociality that people once enjoyed. In this paper I do not contend that these trends in our social and commercial landscape are not happening. I will instead contend that conventional face-to-face sociability thrives even in the face of the loss of many traditional public meeting places. My focus in this piece is on social interaction in independent cafes that are known, and that self-identify, as what coffee connoisseurs term “third-wave” coffeehouses. Deploying the analytic perspective of ethnomethodology, which prioritizes and problematizes the observed and reported lived experiences of research subjects, I argue not only that “authentic” sociality flourishes in these spaces but I also consider the role of shop employees—baristas—in them and uncover their perceptions concerning social interaction between themselves and customers. As such I not only question prevailing understandings about the “death” of traditional sociability but also add to past research on the coffeehouse as social form by problematizing, for the first time, the work world of the baristas and their interactions with customers.

This chapter contains findings related to social aspects of digital activities of youth. Computers, mobile devices, and the internet are increasingly used in everyday social practices of youth, requiring competencies that are largely still not being taught in schools. To thrive in the digital era, youth need to competently use digital tools and define, access, understand, evaluate, create, and communicate digital information. Being able to develop perceptions of, and respect for, social norms and values for functioning in the digital world, without compromising one's own privacy, safety, or integrity is also important. After addressing the social prospects of information and communication technology (ICT) use among youth, this chapter describes their online behavior through the paradoxical nature of the internet (i.e., providing opportunities for social development vs. introducing risks). Educators and youth services are advised to consider these factors in designing flexible, innovative, and inclusive programs for young people that use ICT.
