Work Knowledge

The paradigm shift in work dynamics in the digital age leads the evolution of how and where people work. Knowledge workers adopt more flexible working styles: they connect to their laptops and work anywhere. The main disadvantage of this way of working is social isolation. Creative industries often require interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration. Coworking spaces have emerged in order to remove this isolation and create a third place apart from home and office. These spaces have been studied by disciplines such as economics, work psychology, and geography but studies on their spatial characteristics are limited. The aim of the chapter is to propose a conceptual framework to identify design implications for the coworking spaces in terms of spatial preferences of users. Accordingly, literature related to changing work dynamics and workplaces, rise of coworking spaces, and coworking space typology are discussed. The conclusion of the chapter is to propose design implications, which will inform designers, researchers, and managers on best practice for coworking space design.

People with disabilities face unique challenges accessing and participating in work. From a digital inclusion perspective, an uptake of anywhere working arrangements may hold significant promise for people with disabilities. This qualitative study explored barriers of flexible work for people with disabilities in Australia. The study focused on manager and worker perspectives and findings indicate that both parties face unique challenges to accommodate people with disabilities in flexible work. Barriers encountered by disabled workers seeking access to flexible working arrangements include management attitudes, physical and infrastructure problems, social isolation misconceptions, insufficient flexible work opportunities, and inadequate management knowledge of IT support and reasonable adjustment for people with disabilities. Management issues involve cultural intolerance towards diversity and disability in general, as well as lack of policies and processes that create a supportive environment for people with disabilities who wish to engage in flexible working arrangements.

The City

This study applies a new methodology using the location of tweets from creatives to study where economic creativity takes place in a city. Based on a Twitter network in Brighton and Hove (United Kingdom), a creative hub, we identify freelancers and entrepreneurs in the creative industries that form the ‘core’ of the ‘creative class’ but have rarely been captured in existing spatial research. We use a comprehensive geodatabase of ‘Points-of-Interest’ and Census of Population residence and workplace locations to match tweets with types of places. Findings show that practices of economic creativity are less spatially clustered in central parts of the city and more spatially distributed across the city than studies that used business register data or cluster approaches suggested. Residential areas, which proxy for home locations, have a high incident of creative activities besides urban amenities and coworking spaces. It is concluded that local economic development should support the creation and maintenance of attractive places of social interactions across the city to foster creativity and innovation which has become even more important with the surge in homeworking due to Covid-19.

Over time, the growth of the city increasingly triggers a diversity of activities that take place. One tendency of urban community activities is the need to exchange experiences and obtain a comfortable place to socialize and exchange experiences. These activities are no longer carried out at home or in the office, but in a place called Third place. Kemang is an area that was once a settlement now a commercial center called the "modern village". Over time kemang became a commercial area dominated by creative industries. The many types of creative activities lead to the behavior of people who tend to be in groups. This is very regrettable for the community because this creative activity is very important for people who want to learn or know it by exchanging experiences between art practitioners and the public. But in Kemang there is no place or place for the community to exchange experiences. The presence of Interactive-Creative Spaces in Kemang to meet the needs of community of Kemang related to art activities. With the hypothesis testing method and carried out by conducting surveys in the field, conducting interviews with relevant parties then making observations, collecting data, comparing field results with existing standards and determining the results.

Main Attraction

Along with the changing times, technological developments and changes in human attitudes, new fields of work began to develop, especially in the field of creative industries. This field is increasingly in demand by Millennials, people born in the late 1990s until the beginning of 2000. Flexible working hours and the dynamic nature of work are the main attractions of the industry. Besides, the initial capital that is not too large is also the main attraction for Millennials to open new creative industry startups. For this reason, new spaces are needed to work by the needs or habits of Millennials, but still pay attention to the standards of office regulatory requirements. The author examines and analyzes the behavior of millennial generations in the world of work to find new typologies, programs, and appropriate architectural designs. The program presented is the need for the millennial generation to work, a forum for developing entrepreneurs to become good entrepreneurs and able to respond to the outside world. In it, this building has spaces as a place to the community for workers, which is one of the behaviors of the millennial generation to develop better. AbstrakSeiring dengan perubahan zaman, perkembangan teknologi dan perubahan sikap manusia, bidang-bidang pekerjaan baru mulai berkembang, terutama bidang industri kreatif. Bidang ini semakin diminati oleh para Millennials yaitu orang yang lahir pada akhir tahun 1990 sampai awal tahun 2000. Jam kerja yang fleksibel dan sifat pekerjaan yang dinamis menjadi daya tarik utama dari bidang industri tersebut. Selain itu, modal awal yang tidak terlalu besar juga menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi para Millennials untuk membuka startup-startup industri kreatif baru. Untuk itu dibutuhkan ruang-ruang baru untuk bekerja yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan atau kebiasaan Millennials akan tetapi tetap memperhatikan standar-standar kebutuhan peraturan kantor. Penulis mengkaji dan menganalisis tentang perilaku generasi milenial didalam dunia kerja untuk menemukan tipologi baru, program serta desain arsitektural yang tepat. Program yang disajikan merupakan kebutuhan generasi millennial didalam bekerja yaitu sebuah wadah bagi para entrepreneur yang sedang berkembang agar menjadi entrepreneur yang baik dan mampu menyikapi dunia luar. Didalamnya, bangunan ini memiliki ruang-ruang sebagai wadah untuk berkomunitas bagi para pekerja, yang mana hal ini merupakan salah satu perilaku dari generasi millennial untuk berkembang menjadi lebih baik.

Creative Industries: The Regional Dimension is one of a series of reports published in recent years by the UK government which outlines the importance of creative industries to economic growth. It is in these terms that central government has promoted the creative industries as a newly recognised and fast-growing sector of the economy, thus seeking to quantify the Cool Britania branding so famously propagated by the then newly elected Labour government. The author unpacks the enthusiasm for the creative industries at the national level, and further investigates how the creative-industries developmental agenda has been unfolding within UK regions. The trajectory of the United Kingdom's creative-industries agenda is contrasted with policy and developmental strategies undertaken elsewhere in the world. It is argued that implementation of a creative-industries agenda at the regional level in the United Kingdom is at best patchy, and there is currently a lack of strategic planning, best-practice models, and empirical research to guide policymakers. The West Midlands is then addressed in more detail, and it is argued that at the regional administrative level, a creative industries development agenda per se is all but lost. The implications of this policy trajectory are discussed.

Working Time Directive

The European Court of Justice has recently issued rulings on the interpretation of the European Working Time Directive 2003/88, which appear to restrict flexible working time arrangements (especially Matzak C-518/15, Syndicat C-254/18 and CCOO C-55/18). Only a few months prior to the latter ruling of the CJEU, the Austrian legislator amended the Working Time Act in order to make it more flexible. The article argues that the measures taken by the Austrian legislator to enable more flexibility and autonomy can still be regarded as compatible with Union law. In general, the article tackles the question of possible further legislative developments in order to strike a balance between autonomy and the need for security of both parties to the employment relationship. Among other suggestions, the article introduces the concept of molecularisation of working time and examines whether work intensity should be introduced as a qualitative dimension to the concept of working time, thus deviating from the current European Working Time Directive. Finally, the article suggests security measures – often referring to Austria as a best practice example – in order to safeguard workers in view of working time flexibility.

Background: The urban-rural land divide is visible through where people choose to work. This article aims to detect how, where and why people use rural coworking spaces instead of or in addition to working in urban areas. Methods: The research relied on both documented evidence and a structured survey among users of coworking spaces. Results: We found that the choice of working in rural coworking spaces draws on certain benefits and opportunities for its users, such as avoiding social isolation, separating private and professional life, reducing the commuting. An additional benefit for rural towns and villages is that the presence of a coworking space can make the location more vital, lively and attractive. Conclusions (and recommendations): Coworking space could partially bridge the urban-rural land divide. However, understanding this requires more insights in the behavior of rural coworking space users. Further research could look into modelling cause-effect relations and predicting coworking user behavior and the effect on their environment.

Understanding what creativity is is not enough just to understand it in theory, but rather on how to form a creative mindset. Considering the importance of creativity for students studying at Vocational Schools majoring in Arts and Creative Industries, quality learning is needed about The Basic of Creativity which is more than just a lecture method so that students are able to become creative figures in creating art both in the learning process at school, and in time will be applied in the Business World / Industrial World. Quality teaching is the most important impact that an education system can have on student achievement. On April 29-May 17, 2019, the authors participated in the Professional Teacher Development Program on Vocational Arts & Creative Industries, held in Aucland, New Zealand and the authors gained new knowledge in the pedagogical field, one of which was the Ako Learning Concept. Ako is the Māori language term for teaching and learning, Ako describes a reciprocal relationship in which students learn from the teacher and the teacher also learns from students. This best practice research aims to describe the steps of the implementation of Ako to improve the quality of learning The Basic of Creativity that is sustainable for teachers and students. The expected benefit of preparing this paper is to improve the quality of learning of The Basic of Creativity which is ongoing for teachers and students. After undergoing a series of work steps guided by the teacher, it is hoped that they can instill a mindset of students on how to be creative and innovative, and the teacher gets feedback to plan for better feedforward.

New Forms Of Work

Some of the most influential and recent studies in the context of urban economies and creative industries have shown how workers are largely freelance, precarious professionals characterized by a necessity to entertain relationships and manage social capital across their professional network as a decisive source for incoming jobs. They have to develop a self-entrepreneurial ethos and perform self-branding strategies in a highly identitarian, entrepreneurial landscape. In reaction to the new work order, new forms of work emerge in various countries in the world including Indonesia, such as the currently popular coworking space. Coworking spaces provide a productive, creative and satisfying work atmosphere, not just for freelancer but also for corporate organization. Volks.co as the first coworking space in Pekanbaru needs to adapted to some circumstances in Pekanbaru. This study try to figure out the ability of Volks.co business strategy by using Business Model Canvas (BMC), SWOT Analysis, IPA Matrix as a tool map to review the business strategy of Volks.co. Furthermore, based on the findings there’s few things need to improve by Volks.co to keep running and growing the business within the industry in the future

Collaborative places nurture creativity and efficiency of cultural and creative industries. Research in collaborative places revealed they are essential for networking and cooperation in the creative ecosystem. The results of studies focusing on competitiveness of coworking spaces and their effect on boosting entrepreneurship are rather vague. Furthermore, an awareness of how coworking spaces stimulate coworkers to engage in urban regeneration through local community initiatives is limited. Hence, this study seeks to provide an insight into coworking spaces from the organizational perspective devoted to entrepreneurship and competitiveness. Simultaneously, the paper aims to reveal synergies between creative communities and local development. The method of data gathering consists of semi-structured in-depth interviews with managers and entrepreneurs from selected countries of the EU applying the grounded theory for their analysis. The results suggest that coworking spaces indicate a boosting of the entrepreneurship of the creative class through collective projects. These activities tend to stimulate knowledge creation and open innovation in the creative ecosystem that benefit local development. Coworking spaces also represent a driving force to initiate and maintain a dialogue between the creative ecosystem and local authorities for culture-led urban development.
