The need for third place increased based on an increase in the number of necessities of life and economic growth which resulted in the community only focusing on finding a higher income than before, which caused an increase in stress levels. This is also made worse by the lack of social facilities that can be used by the community to socialize. Therefore the writer wants to try to make a third place for the community around the chosen location. The chosen location is on Jalan Kayu Putih Raya which is a residential area for most industrial workers in the Pulo Gadung industrial area. The choice of location chosen was also based on the results of the field survey which showed that there was still a lack of means for the community to get free entertainment and a place to gather and socialize among the people. In designing this project, the writer also included macro, mezo, and micro site analysis in the consideration of making this project. So that the resulting project can be in accordance with the surrounding environment. In determining the program, the authors also include the results of the questionnaire as a consideration in determining the right program for the community around the project. In the end this project can be designed by the writer with data collected from around the project location and is expected to be used optimally by the surrounding community.AbstrakKebutuhan akan tempat ketiga (third place) semakin meningkat yang didasari oleh peningkatan angka kebutuhan hidup dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang mengakibatkan masyarakat hanya terfokus untuk mencari pendapatan yang lebih tinggi dari sebelumnya, sehingga menimbulkan tingket stress yang meningkat. Hal ini juga diperburuk dengan sedikitnya sarana sosial yang dapat digunakan oleh masayarakat sebagai wada bersosialisasi.  Oleh sebab itu penulis ingin mencoba untuk menciptakan tempat ketiga (third place) bagi masyarakat disekitar lokasi terpilih. Lokasi yang terpilih adalah di jalan Kayu Putih Raya yang merupakan kawasan perumahan bagi sebagian besar pekerja industri yang ada pada kawasan industri Pulo Gadung. Pemilihan lokasi terpilih juga didasari oleh hasil survei lapangan yang menunjukan masih minimnya sarana bagi masyarakat untuk dapat mendapatkan hiburan yang bersifat tidak berbayar dan tempat untuk berkumpul dan bersosialisasi antar masyarakat. Dalam mendesain proyek ini penulis juga turut serta memasukan analisa tapak secara makro, mezo, dan mikro kedalam pertimbangan pembuatan projek ini. Sehingga projek yang dihasilkan dapat sesuai dengan lingkungan sekitar. Dalam menentukan program penulis juga memasukan hasil kuesioner dalam pertimbangan dalam menentukan program yang tepat bagi masyarakat pada sekitar proyek. Pada akhirnya projek ini dapat didesain oleh penulis dengan data-data yang dikumpulan dari sekitar lokasi proyek dan diharapkan dapat digunakan secara maksimal oleh masyarakat sekitar.

The limitations of waste management in the Cipayung Landfill (TPA) causing a buildup of garbage up to more than 30 meters. This condition has a health impact on people in Cipayung Village. This study aims to analyze the impact of waste management at Cipayung Landfill on public health in Cipayung Village, Depok City. The research is descriptive qualitative. Data obtained by purposive sampling. Data was collected by interviews, observation and documentation. Based on interviews with 30 respondents, it was found that the most common diseases were diarrhea, then other types of stomach ailments, subsequent itching on the skin and coughing. This is presumably because the environmental conditions in the form of unhealthy air and water and clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) have not become the habit of the people. The results indicated that there were no respondents who had implemented all of these criteria. In general respondents have implemented  3 criteria, namely maintaining hair hygiene, maintaining skin cleanliness, and maintaining hand hygiene. While maintaining clean water storage is the most often overlooked behavior. To minimize this health impact, improvements in waste management in Cipayung landfill are needed along with continuous socialization and education to develop PHBS habits and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.

They caused a large number of casualties and a wider psychological crisis, which might cause severe consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide. Aims: To reveal the law of formation of public psychological crisis in public health emergencies, and draw lessons from it. To provide ideas for effectively deal with these psychological crisis problems and fundamentally curbing the occurrence of public health emergencies. Method: Through the method of literature research, ‘public health incidents’, ‘psychological crisis’, ‘mental health’, ‘psychological intervention’, ‘SARS’, ‘H1N1’, ‘MERS’, ‘EVD’, and ‘COVID-19’ were used to search literatures in the databases such as PubMed, Springer, and Sciencedirect, and the literatures were summarized, sorted, and studied.

AbstractThe site of Sirkeli Höyük in the province of Adana in modern Turkey is one of the largest settlement mounds in Plain Cilicia. In 2012, a geophysical survey revealed that the ancient settlement was not confined to the höyük, but also encompassed an extensive lower town to the southeast of the main mound. To gain information on the dating and development of this part of the settlement, an excavation area (“Sector F”) was opened at a spot where the magnetometry survey suggested the presence of a city gate. Since then, archaeological work in this area has continuously produced new discoveries that help us understand how this residential area and its inhabitants developed throughout the periods of its occupation. Especially the Iron Age (Neo Cilician period) levels, which cover approximately the 11th–7th centuries B.C., provide important information on how this urban center of the Neo Hittite kingdom Hiyawa/Que changed over time and to which extent historical events impacted the people living in one of its residential areas. This contribution discusses the stratigraphic sequence, the pottery, and the archaeobotanical remains discovered in Sector F during the 2013–2019 campaigns, and concludes with a synthesis of the development in this area from a historical perspective.

This piece of comics-based research (CBR) details the use of arts-based methods in ongoing research with young transgender or otherwise gender diverse children. Drawing from both the anthropology of childhood and draw–write–tell research in public health, the central innovation of this methodology hinges on gathering children’s narratives in a less coercive manner that holds their stories intact and produces better, more trustworthy research. Discussion includes problematizing and problem-solving contemporary “child friendly” methodology, exploring the role of the child informant in qualitative research, and illustrating how arts methods can inform deeper understanding of participant data when applied in a systematic format.

Eat Smart! Ontario's Healthy Restaurant Program is a standard provincial health promotion program. Public health units grant an award of excellence to restaurants that meet designated standards in nutrition, food safety, and non-smoking seating. The purpose of this study was to assess whether program objectives for participating restaurant operators were achieved during the first year of program implementation, and to obtain operators’ recommendations for improving the program. Dillman's tailored design method was used to design a mail survey and implement it among participating operators (n = 434). The design method, which consisted of four mail-outs, yielded a 74% response rate. Fifty percent of respondents operated family-style or quick-service restaurants, and 82% of respondents learned about the program from public health inspectors. Almost all respondents (98%) participated in the program mainly to have their establishments known as clean and healthy restaurants, 65% received and used either point-of-purchase table stands or postcards to promote the program, and 98% planned to continue participating. The respondents’ suggestions for improving the program were related to the award ceremony and program materials, media promotion, communication, education, and program standards. Program staff can use the findings to enhance the program.
