Hydropower is a highly appreciated climate-friendly source of energy production. However, it has non-negligible negative impacts on the environment and landscape aesthetics where the energy is produced, affecting the recreational interests of the public using the respective local river spaces. The preferences of the local public are increasingly assessed and involved in the planning of mitigation measures for impacted rivers. Aesthetic assessment methods using a common user perspective, i.e., an “on-the-ground” perspective, could potentially be improved by using an aerial perspective facilitated by modern drone technology. Studies on the compatibility of these two perspectives of assessment in terms of public preference elicitation are lacking so far. In river Nea, Norway, we conducted a quantitative analysis of the visual preferences of the local public for different environmental mitigation measures related to weirs, minimum flow, and recreational infrastructure using both perspectives. The results indicate that there exist significant differences in the preferences for scenarios based on the two different visual perspectives, and that a compatibility between them cannot be assumed and therefore requires further investigation. Finally, based on our study setup and previous experience, we outline and propose a standardized procedure for the visualization of mitigation measures as an input to environmental design projects where public perception is incorporated.

The 2020 COVID-19 outbreak has deeply redefined our relationship to public spaces. Fear of transmission (both direct and indirect) has strucked all sectors and put down public facilities such as schools, restaurants, and offices. The implementation of restrictions on community activities in Jakarta alone has resulted in 1030 restaurants permanently closed and 400 restaurants to temporary closed from early 2020 to 2021. Public preference has shifted to outdoor area with open air space to reduce the possibility of transmision. Therefore, shop house food and beverage retails that operated in big cities may find a challenge to keep the costumers' comfort. Keywords: shop house, new normal, food and beverage, retails

Cash waqf can be a solution in optimizing the potential of land waqf asset in Indonesia, in order to reach economic empowerment. In Indonesia, cash waqf had a great potential reaching 180 trillion rupiah, however the money acquired on 2019 only reached 400 billion rupiah. Several factors caused the low rate of accumulation of cash waqf, namely religiousity, cash waqf literacy, waqf inclusion, and waqf institution management. This study aims to find out public preference toward cash waqf specifically in West Sumatera Province. The analytical method used is PLS-SEM qualitative analysis using SmartPLS 3.9.2 as a tool. Purposive sampling technique was used to assign 175 respondents. Results showed that there are positive and significant relationship between cash waqf literacy, waqf inclusion and waqf institution management variables with the public preference towards cash waqf. Whereas religiousity factor had positive but insignificant effect to the public preference of cash waqf.

With the widespread of location-based social networks (LBSNs), the amount of check-in data grows rapidly, which helps to recommend the next point-of-interest (POI). Extracting sequential patterns from check-in data has become a meaningful way for next POI recommendation, since human movement exhibits sequential patterns in LBSNs. However, due to the check-ins’ sparsity problem, exploiting sequential patterns in next POI recommendation is a challenging issue, which makes the learned sequential patterns unreliable. Inspired by the fact that auxiliary information can be incorporated to alleviate this situation, in this paper, we model sequential transition based on both item-wise check-in sequences and region-wise spatial information. Besides, we propose an attention-aware recurrent neural network (ATTRNN) to learn the contribution of different time steps. Furthermore, considering users’ decision-making is influenced by public’s common preference to some extent, we design a novel framework, namely HSP (short for “Hybrid model based on Sequential feature mining and Public preference awareness”), to recommend POIs for a given user. We conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation for HSP on two real-world datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to other state-of-the-art techniques, the proposed HSP achieves significantly improvements.

The 21st century ELT world is trying to migrate into the more relevant notion of international English. This notion, supposedly, supports every English speaker of a different nation, background, and culture. However, the public preference in native speaker is still apparent. This study is aimed to explore one non-native English speaker teacher’s experiences in teaching English along with a native English speaker teacher. This study employed narrative inquiry, the data gathered by interviews, and document analysis. The non-native English speaker teacher experiences several discriminations in the form of job division, job requirements, and even the wage difference. The public preference for native English speaker teachers is still apparent, looking at the growth of schools with native-speaker teachers.

Abstract Urban landscapes have the potential to conserve wildlife. Despite increasing recognition of this potential, there are few collaborative efforts to integrate ecology and conservation principles into context-dependent, spatial and actionable design strategies. To address this issue and to encourage multi-disciplinary research on urban human–wildlife interactions, we ask the following questions. To what extent should design and planning actions be aligned with urban ecology in the context of a compact city? How can wildlife conservation meet the seemingly conflictual demands of urban development and public preference? To answer these questions, we refer to the relevant literature and a number of design projects. Using the compact tropical city of Singapore as a case study, we propose 12 design strategies. We encourage designers and planners to strengthen the links between wildlife and urban dwellers and promote wildlife conservation within cities.
