Urban Sustainability and Smartness Understanding (USSU) can be defined by a group of sociopsychological determinants (such as awareness, perception, attitude and behavior) which shapes the relationship between human beings and the environment in which they live. A variety of influencing factors must exist in relation to USSU, however, a comprehensive examination of these, looking at personal, social, environmental, economic, technical, and governance perspectives in an urban context, appear to be less well researched. As such this paper provides an exploratory and critical evaluation of the literature by focusing on the USSU determinants; with an aim toward identifying the key factors (and sub-factors) that are in relation with these determinants. Two big databases of Scopus and Web of Science—have been searched systematically for the relevant studies. Therein it is observed how these factors affect USSU according to the characteristics of the study. Sustainability focused studies were found to be more commonplace than smartness studies. Moreover, there is currently ambiguity in evaluating the impacts of the identified factors. This paper concludes that a holistic approach is needed for clarifying the relationship and causality between sociopsychological determinants on Urban Sustainability and Smartness context. A framework with six dimensions is presented to initiate future studies to develop a consistent; coherent and comprehensive methodology to assess an individuals’ USSU.

Penelitian ini mengkaji efektivitas kebijakan kursus calon pengantin dalam menekan angka per­ ceraian di wilayah kerja KUA Kecamatan Batukliang. Oleh karena itu, fokus kajian penelitian diarahkan untuk megetahui: 1) tingkat perceraian di wilayah kerja KUA Kecamatan Batukliang. 2) pelaksanaan kebijakan kursus calon pengantin di KUA Kecamatan Batukliang. 3) tingkat efek­ tivitas kebijakan kursus calon pengantin dalam menekan angka perceraian di wilayah kerja KUA kecamatan Batukliang. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosio antropologis. Penelitian ini mem­ posisikan manusia sebagai pelaku yang memahami, meyakini, dan menjalankan ketentuan­keten­ tuan hukum perkawinan dalam Islam maupun dalam perspektif budaya lokal tentang perkawinan yang berkembang di Lombok. Pilihan pendekatan hukum perkawinan dan pendekatan agama dalam penelitian ini akan menjawab beberapa persoalan antropologi melalui empat macam metode ilmiah. Pertama, metode historis, yakni menelusuri pikiran dan perilaku manusia tentang pemahaman dan perilaku perkawinan dan persepsi agamanya yang berlatarbelakang sejarah. Kedua, metode normatif, yaitu mempelajari ketentuan hukum dan norma­norma (kaidah, patokan, atau sastra suci agama) maupun yang merupakan perilaku adat kebiasaan tradisional yang masih berlaku, baik dalam hubungan manusia dengan alam gaib ataupun dalam hubungan antara sesama manusia yang bersumber dan berdasarkan ajaran agama. Ketiga, metode deskriptif, yakni metode yang berusaha mencatat, melukiskan, menguraikan dan melaporkan segala sesuatu yang ditemukan di masyarakat berkaitan dengan obyek yang diteliti, seperti yang dilakukan oleh para etnografer. Keempat, metode empirik yang mempelajari pikiran sikap dan perilaku perkawinan dan agama manusia yang ditemukan dari pengalaman dan kenyataan di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat efektivitas kebijakan kursus calon pengantin dalam menekan angka perceraian di wilayah kerja KUA kecamatan Batukliang dikategorikan efektif. Hal ini dapat dilihat darijumlah total pernikahan dan pengaduan kehendak bercerai yang tercatat di KUA Kecamatan Batukliang pada beberapa tahun yang dideskripsikan dalam beberapa bab dalam artikel ini.[This research examines the effectiveness of the policy bride course in suppressing the divorce rate in the KUA Sub Batukliang region. Therefore, the focus of the research study directed to 1) The divorce rate in the region KUA Sub Batukliang region. 2) Implementation of the policy bride’s course in KUA Sub Batukliang. 3) The effectiveness of the policy bride’s course in suppressing the divorce rate in the KUA sub­Batukliang region. This research uses a socio­anthropological approach. This research puts man as an actor who understands, believes, and executes the provisions of the marriage law in Islam as well as in local cultural perspectives about marriage that evolved in Lombok. In this study, the choice of law approach to marriage and religious approach will answer some of the questions of anthropology through four different scientific methods. First, the historical method, i.e. the trace of the mind and human behavior of understanding and combining behavior and perception of the diversity of religious history. Second, normative methods, namely studying the laws and norms (rules, benchmarks, or sacred religious literature) as well as the behavior of a traditional custom which is still believed, whether in the relationship of humans with supernatural or in the relationship between fellow human beings based on religious teachings. A method which attempts to record, illustrate, describe and report on everything that is found in the community related to the observation object, as done by ethnographers. Fourth, the empirical methods study the mind, attitude, and behavior of the marriage and human religion according to experience and the reality in the field. The result shows that the policy bride’s course is effective in suppressing the divorce rate in the KUA Batukliang sub-region. It reflects from the total marriage and denunciation of wills divorced are recorded in Batukliang Sub­district on the KUA number of years described in several chapters in this article.]

This is an endeavor to seek the possibilities of the application of ethical principles of yoga in present day of ecological issues. The relevance of this research paper is evident from the fact that ecological issues are not only scientific but also an ethical and this research paper is reliable and informative in the extent that it seeks to challenge the existing relationship between human beings and nature with the description of the present crisis of ecology as a crisis of human-nature relationship. To talk of ecological issues signifies that most of the issues may occur because of the attitude and behavior patterns of man towards environment. The confluence of ethical principles of yoga and ecology offer profoundly relevant response to the ecological issues and brings forth an ecological virtue ethics, which care for all natural entities with main focus of the relationship between man and environment. It offer systematic framework for understanding the traits of character and types of action that cause problems for environment. Yoga approach on ecology is intrinsic in nature, which includes moral expansionism that tries to expand outward from human centered ethics towards animals and sentient life in general. All life forms of plants and animals are interrelated and have an intrinsic value. Ethical principles of yoga give greater importance to the attitude of the mind rather than on postulation of the elaborate theories of what is right and wrong.  So the virtues of yoga ethics would be used as a remedy towards changing an attitude of the common man towards his environment.

The spray cleaning method is important and universal in many industrial processes and other occasion. Because the size of the waterdrop is one of key factors for cleaning, this paper not only studied the relationship between the size of waterdrop and other influencing factors, but also researched the forecasted method for the size of waterdrop. In lab, by measuring the size of the waterdrop, jetted by one kind of nozzle, data were acquired and were used to train the Back Propagation Neural Network ( BPNN ). Through comparing those diameters, between measured in lab and calculated by BPNN after trained. It was acquired that the maximum errors was smaller than 1.62%, between the computed results and the factual measured ones. The experimental results showed that BPNN is an effective tool to predict the variation of the non-linear waterdrop diameter.

<p><em>Intercultural communication becomes a norm in the midst of society that has been globalized. There are no more regional boundaries and cultural barriers that travel between one person and another.

This paper is a study about the relationship among the factors that influence the new urban planning under the theory of “Smart Growth”. The author applied the “Smart Growth” in China domestic society and summarized key factors into five categories. Interpretation of Structure Model (“ISM”) is used to design a tailor made data model. The model established Adjacency Matrix and Reachable Matrix to define the key influence factors into seven classes, depicted the correlation structure and then revealed the inherent logic relation between the key factors. The ISM model diagram provided visualized view of the cause-effect relationship among the influence factors. It is used as a tool to identify the reasons and forecast impacts based on the diagram. This tool is helpful to the real business of new urban planning and contributes meaningful scientific research for “Smart Growth” theoretical development.

The most dangerous tendency of the present human generation is to enjoy every aspect of life selfishly which leads to serious threat to an environment. From the very beginning man was never a solitary creature in the planet where the relationship between humans and nature is one of the most fundamental issues we face and must deal with today. A universal holistic approach is needed, which may develop ecological consciousness among us. Many religions, scriptures can help to build a model of ecological consciousness. The importance of ancient Indian religious practices shows that human beings are an integral part of nature, and should, therefore, naturally understand the framework of life. At present human society is misled by the false attraction of the materialistic life, so to realize his true ‘self ,‘ one has to get out of this false notion that human society is the only proprietor of the world. The ‘Bhagavad-Gita’ nicely describes detachment from materials activities to the transcendental activities with realizing our true ‘self.’ Warwick Fox and Arne Naess’s ‘Self Realization’ shows how a person who Is self-realized and well-identified with the non-human world, will behave in harmony with nature, acting from inclination rather than duty.

La sostenibilidad, como abanderada de la equidad y el reequilibrio de las disfunciones observadas en las dimensiones social, medioambiental, cultural y económica, se constituyó como la respuesta internacional a los síntomas de colapso. Constituyéndose como la tendencia internacional aceptada, se apostó por su incorporación a todas las políticas públicas tratando de forma progresiva de consolidar la transición de un modelo basado en el crecimiento económico, a un modelo basado en los principios de sostenibilidad urbana. Principio que finalmente se instituyó bajo la nota común denominado Regeneración urbana Integrada.La transición a este modelo urbano sostenible desencadenó la creación de herramientas para el análisis, evaluación y proposición de soluciones para el reequilibrio de las relaciones, ahora desproporcionadas, entre el hombre y el medio. Estas nuevas herramientas, que derivaron en la creación de sistemas de indicadores cuantitativos, serán el núcleo central de la presente investigación que, a través de su análisis, tratara de mostrar la relación que subyace entre la metodología empleada para su definición, el modelo sostenible heredado de los documentos internacionales, y la permanencia de las tendencias insostenibles en los sistemas urbanos.Abstract:Sustainability, as the standard-bearer of equity and rebalancing of dysfunctions observed in the social, environmental, cultural and economic dimensions, was established as the international response to these sings of imminent collapse. Becoming itself as the accepted international trend, the firm commitment to its incorporation in all public policies was established, trying progressively to consolidate the transition from a model based on economic growth to a model based on the principles of urban sustainability. This principle was finally established under the common approach called Integrated Urban Regeneration.The transition to this sustainable urban model triggered the creation of tools for the analysis, evaluation and proposition of solutions for the rebalancing of the unbalanced relationships between human beings and the environment. These new instruments that led to the creation of quantitative indicators systems will be the core of the present research that, through its analysis, will try to show the relationship that underlies the methodology used for its definition, the sustainable model inherited from the international documents, and the permanence of the unsustainable tendencies in the urban systems.
