The Impact

This study explores the impact of virtual classrooms as an emerging classroom typology in comparison to the physical classrooms in the design process. Two case studies were held in order to infer design students' classroom preferences in the project lifecycle. The findings put forth figures that compare two forms of design communication in the two classroom types in terms of their contribution to design development. Although the students acknowledged many advantages of web-based communication in the virtual classroom, they indicated that they are unwilling to let go off face-to-face encounters with the instructors and fellow students in the physical classroom. It is asserted that the future design studio will be an integrated learning environment where both physical and virtual encounters will be presented to the student. Utilizing the positive aspects of both communication techniques, a hybrid setting for the design studio is introduced, comprising the physical classroom as well as the virtual one. The proposed use for the hybrid setting is grouped under 3 phases according to the stage of the design process; as the initial, development and final phases. Within this framework, it is inferred that the design studio of the future will be an integrated form of space, where the physical meets the virtual.

Basic health research in 2007 showed the existence of the gap of IPKM (community health development index) among provinces, including Aceh province. Maternal and child health issue were important indicators in IPKM. This research aimed to determine knowledge of Posyandu’s cadres and mothers as well as the perspective of health offi cer towards Posyandu activities. This was a qualitative study with participatory observation design. There were two areas (Puskesmas) chosen as the research location, and at each location was conducted focus group discussion (FGD) to the mothers and Posyandu’s cadres and in-depth interview towards the informant (health offi cer). Generally, Posyandu’s cadres have good knowledge about maternal and child health, while mothers have less knowledge. The results showed that Posyandu has not been optimal in health service. This condition associated with low visits of mothers as well as the involvement of Posyandu’s cadres themselves. External factors (support of husband, family, social environment) could interfere the belief of mothers towards Posyandu services. Knowledge becomes an important aspect to infl uence awareness and willingness of mothers to utilize the service of Posyandu. Abstrak Hasil Riskesdas 2007 menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan IPKM (Indeks Pembangunan Kesehatan Masyarakat) antar propinsi maupun pada tingkat propinsi itu sendiri seperti di Provinsi Aceh. Kesehatan ibu hamil dan balita merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam IPKM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan kader Posyandu maupun ibu balita serta perspektif tenaga kesehatan terkait kegiatan Posyandu. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan disain observasi partisipatif. Terdapat dua wilayah terpilih sebagai lokasi penelitian, dan pada setiap lokasi dilakukan diskusi kelompok terarah terhadap kelompok ibu balita dan kader Posyandu wawancara mendalam terhadap kader Posyandu dan ibu balita, serta tenaga kesehatan. Secara umum pengetahuan kader Posyandu telah cukup baik, namun untuk ibu balita belum sepenuhnya baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan belum optimalnya pelayanan Posyandu. Ketidakoptimalan tersebut berhubungan dengan rendahnya kunjungan para ibu balita, maupun keterlibatan kader Posyandu itu sendiri. Faktor eksternal (pandangan suami, keluarga & lingkungan sosial) dapat menjadi unsur yang mempengaruhi keyakinan ibu balita terhadap pelayanan Posyandu. Pengetahuan menjadi aspek penting terhadap kesadaran dan kemauan ibu balita untuk datang ke Posyandu.

The aim of this study is to present the varieties of changes to children’s playgrounds over the past 26 years, depicting the stages of the design process in designing playgrounds based on an adult perspective to encourage children to play more in today’s changing society. Fourteen Japanese selected works from 1992 (first issue) to 2018 (the latest issue) were chosen for analysis. By analyzing the titles, descriptions, ichnographies, photos, and critical design reviews, the form of and changes to children’s playgrounds are revealed in this paper. Results show the quantitative trends and qualitative changing patterns related to children’s play. Daily physical playing was considered crucial in the first decade of the 1900s. In the 2000s, natural education activities were given more importance, while in recent years exercise play and variety of play have been given more attention. According to the results, we have to consider not only the richness of daily playing facilities, but also the broader aspect of playability, more than just including natural elements into designs, or increasing the variety of play styles. The different ways children enjoy play and the future design trends are also discussed in the last part of the article. Changes corresponding to the improvement of technology should be made to make playgrounds more attractive for children. This study could serve as a design reference for professionals.

Five-star hotels are known by their immense competitiveness, first-class portrayal and are superior in level of extravagance, eccentricity, representation, sophistication and amenities. Slow growth of five-star hotels aggravates strong competition, thus forcing hotel businesses to be competitive. This study attempts to analyze service quality and brand awareness toward strategic competitiveness and its impact on the performance of XYZ Hotel. The study applies both quantitative and qualitative research, which were obtained from questionnaire distribution to 100 respondents who have stayed at the hotel, in-depth interview with the PR and Front Office managers, and Focus Group Discussion with managers and hotel experts from Jakarta and Tangerang. The finding suggests that service quality has no correlation with strategic competitiveness and no significant impact on performance. Thus, brand awareness was found to be the most influential factor on strategic competitiveness. However, it is necessitated that five-star hotel continuously improve the quality of its service and the factors associated with service quality.

Modern Contraceptive Use

Despite the benefit of modern contraception, its use remains low in Nigeria. This study examined belief system as a barrier to the use of modern contraceptives among the Idoma of Benue State, North Central Nigeria. Questionnaire ( n = 1107), in-depth interview ( n = 6) and focus group discussion ( n = 52) were used to collect data from three local government areas (LGAs). The results showed high levels of knowledge (88.0%), however, only 37.8% used modern contraceptives. The male condom had the highest percentage use (56.7%). Chi-square results showed that LGA, education and occupation were significantly related to the use of modern contraceptives. Being of greater age increased the likelihood of use, whereas higher levels of education and income decreased the likelihood of modern contraceptive use ( p < 0.05). Qualitative data indicated that married women were expected to eschew modern contraceptives due to their belief in Alekwu, the community deity. Designing interventions that are culturally specific could promote use of modern contraceptives among the group.
