The concept of identity in the the era of fundamental rearrangement of the cultural and national map of Europe in the XIX – XX centuries. The threat of losing the identity of entire states, separate regions, and local communities, actualizes the value of cultural specificity and view of identity as a special concept. Regional identity associated with the cultural and natural heritage of a particular region remains most common. Identity alongside cultural heritage overall, is singled out as a special category only in case of its loss. The formation of the concept was related to the process of fundamental rearrangement of the cultural and national map of Europe in during the large-scale socioeconomic processes of the XIX – XX centuries. A sense of losing cultural bonds of the people, region, or local community aroused scientific realization of the value of identity. Determination and translation of regional identity is one of the pivotal stages in socioeconomic development of the regions and formation of attractive image of the territory. Moreover, the professional, age, gender and other types of identity can be distinguished in accordance with unifying characteristics. In light of the aforementioned facts, the author proposes to view the principle of identity as a peculiarity of interpretation of the cultural heritage.

Background: Gamification is an innovative approach to engaging in activities that people believe as less interesting. Recycling has been an issue not taken aware by the people in environmental sustainability. There are substantial studies on recycling intention due to the continual growth of unethical and unsustainable waste disposal. Creative approaches to recycling awareness activities should be made to fulfil youths’ increasing interest in and demand for recycling. The main objective of this study is to explore the factors related to youths’ recycling intentions after experiencing a gamified online recycling learning activity, Edcraft Gamified Learning (EGL). Gamified recycling education is believed to be a practical and engaging approach for youths. Methods: 100 students participated in EGL, consisting of two levels of plastic crafting and recycling activities. They experienced online EGL at home between May and September in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic total lockdown in Malaysia, namely, Movement Control Order (MCO). 29 participants were selected to participate in five focus group discussions (FGDs) with five to eight participants per session to explore their opinions towards gamified learning, motivation and recycling intention. Results: This paper reports the findings of the FGDs. A codebook was developed based on the codes from the FGD feedback. The codes were rated by two raters, followed by an assessment of inter-rater reliability and thematic analysis. The findings emerged and were confirmed with four themes as factors that influence recycling intention. They are gameful experience, social influence, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation. Conclusion: The dependent variable, recycling intention, was connected to the four themes to verify the conceptual framework. One limitation of the study was the design of the EGL activity, which was only carried out over two days with two levels of gamified recycling education, as students had concurrent academic online classes during that period.

Control Order

T The Movement Control Order (MCO) was declared by the Malaysian Government on 18 March 2020 to avoid the transmission of the Covid -19 infection.  The MCO was continued until phase four and then commenced to the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) which was less restrictive starting 4 May 2020.  For the first two months of the implementation of the MCO, all business premises, places of worship and educational institutions were closed totally to the public. schools were reopened in stages during the CMCO following the advice of the Ministry of Health (MOH).  The objective of this research is to do an analysis of the maslahah element which was applied in the management of the reopening of schools according to the Sunnah Nabawiyyah perspective.  This research was conducted using the qualitative method which involved literature and field research.  By analyzing the primary documents released by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the feedback posted by the mass media, the research found that the maslahah element such as maslahah daruriyyah, dunyawiyah and khassah are already implemented by the MOE in the preparation of School Reopening Management Guidelines.  This element was aimed specifically in order to safeguard the health and the well-being of the students and the teachers.  Even though education is important and mandatory for all, yet the constraints faced by the people concerned are equally important. Thus, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is for the sake of making sure the well-being of school community is assured from the disease. Therefore, the guidelines of school reopening are in line with the Islamic approach based on the discussion of maqasid al-syari'ah which is to realize maslahah for human beings and avoiding any bad circumstances.

This chapter begins with an overview of the emergence of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, in particular, the clusters that spike up the infection rate. It then considers the regulations, laws, and socio-economic measures implemented by the Malaysian government. The chapter evaluates the effectiveness of these measures and the challenges faced by the government and the people in coping with this crisis, not just in seeking to reduce the number of positive cases but also in the larger context of democratic norms, human rights, and socio-economic justice. Chief among Malaysia’s measures to stem the spread of the pandemic is the Movement Control Order (MCO), which forces people to stay inside except to perform essential services, go out to buy food, or seek medical treatment. The MCO has been successful in some respects, particularly in flattening the curve, but in some areas, such as the rights of marginalized communities, clarity of instructions, and uniformity of enforcement, it has left much to be desired.

PEMBERDAYAAN SOSIAL DALAM PENGEMBANGAN EKOWISATA DI PEKON KILUAN NEGRI, KABUPATEN TANGGAMUS, PROVINSI LAMPUNG Abstrak Konsep ekowisata menekankan pada pengelolaan wisata berbasis masyarakat lokal dengan salah satu tujuan utamanya adalah pemberdayaan sosial masyarakat lokal. Pemberdayaan sosial mengacu pada pendekatan yang dilakukan oleh Scheyvens (1999) meliputi partisipasi masyarakat lokal dalam pengelolaan ekowisata, alokasi hasil pengembangan ekowisata untuk masyarakat lokal dan tidak adanya indikasi kegagalan pengembangan ekowisata. Berdasarkan kerangka ini, penelitian di Pekon Kiluan Negri dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif dan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara, pengamatan dan focuss group discussion. Penelitian dilakukan selama satu bulan pada masa sepi dan ramai kunjungan. Mayarakat pekon Kiluan Negri diambil sebagai batasan masyarakat lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan secara umum telah ada partisipasi masyarakat, ada alokasi hasil pengembangan ekowisata untuk masyarakat dan penilaian negatif dari masyarakat untuk unsur kegagalan. Partisipasi belum melibatkan perempuan, anak dan unsur masyarakat yang tidak terlibat dalam LSM, bukan aparat desa dan tokoh desa serta bukan penyedia layanan wisata. Keterbukaan alokasi hasil pengembangan ekowisata juga masih ditanyakan peruntukannya oleh masyarakat pada kelompok ini. Ini menunjukkan masih diperlukannya pelibatan masyarakat secara menyeluruh dan keterbukaan pengelolaan dana hasil pengembangan ekowisata.
