In recent times the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection remains increased, especially with direct contact or reduced distance to the infected person. This paper outlines the case study of pedestrian mobility in one of the residential estates in Wrocław, Poland. The pedestrian mobility was examined in gated community, which counts several hundred apartments. The entrance to the estate is provided by two wickets. Observations of pedestrian traffic were conducted for four weeks (October–November 2020) when the government introduced restrictions to limit virus transmission. Our research revealed that the limited number of entrances and fencing give the inhabitants sense of security, however it poses a threat in a pandemic period.

Set Up

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discover the operational character of gated communities in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a small case study conducted in Iskandar Malaysia, an economic development region located in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. In the case study, 12 housing developers were interviewed, involving 32 gated communities altogether. The investigation covered the identification of the governing document used in operating a gated community, the operational purposes and scopes, the arrangement for collection of maintenance fee, and the internal governance within the gated communities. Findings – From the analysis, it was found that two types of gated communities exist in the case study areas, namely the strata gated community scheme, and the gated community scheme (GACOS). The operational mechanism for the former is through a set of rules enforced by the government. Meanwhile, the latter is based on the arrangement set up either by the developer, where legal agreement is applicable, or through the consensus among homeowners. However, despite these differences, both mechanisms share the same intention, that is to operate the gated community based on cooperative-collective sharing arrangement. Research limitations/implications – Despite the vulnerability of GACOS enclosure components, the case study revealed that the number of GACOS is still bigger than the strata gated community scheme. Since this perspective is lacking in this paper, it is suggested that more studies are conducted to explain the reasons behind the indicated phenomenon. Originality/value – The most important contribution of the paper is to highlight the importance of gating experience that is heavily influenced by the local policy setting to determine the survival of a gated community; thus, demonstrating how different they are from each other.

Residential Pattern

Gated communities are the most popular residential pattern in the urban areas of China. However, along with the increasing population density in urban areas, this pattern may have negative influences on people’s daily lives, such as traffic jams. To avoid the negative influences, the government has encouraged residents to open their gated communities; however, few positive actions have been taken. With this background, this study aims to explore the key factors in residents’ willingness to open their gated communities. To start with, a total of 26 potential factors were identified based on a comprehensive literature review. Then, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to collect empirical data. Furthermore, logistic regression was employed to analyze the collected data. Based on the derived results, it was revealed that concerns are different between male and female residents. Male residents regarded “community safety” and “property management” as having a significant impact on their decision to open a gated community, while female residents paid more attention to the factor of “proprietary equity”. The results of this study could provide valuable references that enable the government to better understand residents’ underlying concerns and to make relevant policy decisions.

AbstractThere have been limited reports on crime prevention policies by local governments in Japan, which is one of the safest countries in the world. This article reviews crime prevention policies in Adachi Ward, which used to have the highest crime rates in Tokyo. The government of Adachi Ward introduced the “Beautiful Windows Movement” (BWM) in 2008. Based on BWM, Adachi Ward implemented various programs and interventions based on two different aspects: the aspect of preventing minor crimes and disorder in partnership with the police referring to the Broken Windows Theory and the aspect of literally making the Ward beautiful in cooperation with citizen volunteers. After 11 years of implementing BWM, the number of recorded crimes in Adachi Ward declined the most in Tokyo and residents’ sense of security improved significantly. This case study highlights the advantage of the duality of BWM to both reduce crimes and improve residents’ sense of security.

Residential gating is a notable element in cities worldwide, but notable gaps exist in studies of residential gating in smaller cities and the Global South. This article examines the historical and urban geographies of residential gating in the Arab Gulf, using a case study from Bahrain. This research adds new nuance to studies of gated communities by presenting a case study from a smaller city in the Global South and integrating observations and interviews. The results explain the reasons for gated community development in Bahrain and provide insight into gated communities’ built and social environments in Bahrain. The article concludes that in ordinary cities, understanding urban development in general, and gated developments in particular, demands attention to their spatiotemporal contexts. Attention to these contexts can provide new insights that contribute to efforts to interpret and theorise contemporary urbanisation processes.

No capitalismo contemporâneo, o espaço urbano é entendido enquanto mercadoria, sendo produzido em conformidade com interesses econômicos. Nesse sentido, é parcelado e comercializado como produto imobiliário, e se insere no processo de acumulação do capital e do lucro. Em consequência disso, a cidade produzida coletivamente é apropriada individualmente, favorecendo o estabelecimento de uma cidade fragmentada, contraditória e conflituosa. A segregação socioespacial aprofunda e ratifica as diferenças e a hierarquia dos lugares na cidade, tendo nos Espaços Residenciais Fechados – ERFs – sua materialização. O presente artigo objetiva refletir sobre a segregação socioespacial na sua relação com os condomínios residenciais fechados tendo como estudo de caso a cidade de Montes Claros/MG. Para isso foi utilizada uma metodologia de pesquisa constituída por revisão bibliográfica e trabalho de campo. Como resultado, verificou-se que também em Montes Claros essa forma de morar deixa evidente a diferença no acesso à cidade, sendo esse mediado pelo poder aquisitivos dos moradores. A partir dos anos de 1990 ocorreu a implantação de vários condomínios na porção sudoeste da cidade, área onde vive uma população com maior renda.Palavras chaves: cidade, segregação socioespacial, espaços residenciais fechados, Montes Claros.AbstractIn contemporary capitalism, urban space is understood as a commodity, being produced by economic interests. In this sense, it is parcelled out and marketed as a real estate product, and it is part of the process of accumulation of capital and profit. As a consequence, the city produced collectively is individually appropriated, favouring the establishment of a fragmented, contradictory and conflicting city. Socio-spatial segregation deepens and ratifies the differences and hierarchy of places in the city; such a process has in a gated community - its materialisation. The present article aims to reflect on the socio-spatial segregation in its relationship with the gated community having as a case study the city of Montes Claros / MG. A research methodology was used to achieve that, consisting of bibliographical review and fieldwork. As a result, it was also verified that in Montes Claros this way of living makes evident the difference in access to the city, which is mediated by the purchasing power of the residents. Starting in the 1990s, several condominiums were set up in the southwest portion of the city, where a population with higher income lives.Keywords: city, socio-spatial segregation, closed residential spaces, Montes Claros.

This study aims to analyze the process of conflict and violence experienced by Ahmadiyah in Makassar City and to analyze the resistance and conflict resolution models of Ahmadiyah in Makassar City in dealing with conflict and violence. This research uses qualitative methods by collecting through observation and in-depth interviews. Secondary data comes from books and research journals published online and in print. Data analysis by transcribing data, reading the entire data, analyzing in detail and describing it holistically-integratively. The results showed first, identity violence is influenced by the existence of a dominant identity factor that commits violence because of differences in beliefs. Second, direct violence against minority groups causes psychological trauma. Conflict resolution is in the form of no resistance because Ahmadiyah has the principle of "love for all hatred for none" which morally spreads teachings of peace and love for others even though they have different beliefs. From the conflict that occurred, Ahamadiyah offered a resolution in the form of asking the government to "come back to provide a sense of security for all its citizens and strengthen diversity through the restoration of social dialogue between residents" and, to remind the government that JAI is an official Islamic religious organization with the legal entity of a Ministerial Decree Justice. Second, to remind all JAI members as peace-loving Muslims with the motto of love for all, hatred for no one.
