Development of an Android-Based Application for Family Planning Education and Consultation (SIDUTA KB)

In suppressing the rate of population growth, the government seeks to optimize the Family Planning (KB) program. Miroto Public Health Center is a health center in the Central Semarang District which experienced a decrease of 13.4% of new family planning memberships. The decline was caused by the increase in the number of births, the delay in contraceptive services and the soaring unmet need during the pandemic. To support the role of cadres in providing socialization easily without having to meet during this pandemic, a Family Planning Education and Consultation System (SIDUTA KB) was created. Methods: This study uses Research and Development (RnD) which refers to the Sugiyono model with limited trials. The research data analysis technique is descriptive analysis and the data collected consists of qualitative and quantitative. Results: In this study, design validation was carried out through media expert tests with a percentage score of 83.55% (5 experts), material experts at 81.11% (3 experts), and users by 86.72% (73 users). Conclusion: SIDUTA KB makes it easy for users to find educational content about family planning programs, conduct consultations, and choose Miroto Health Center facilities or services related to the family planning program.

Educational priorities in a post pandemic world

This article attempts to bring together the most important educational priorities which should be taken into consideration when planning education in a world recovering from a pandemic. Some of the priorities discussed here should have already been taken into account during the 20th century, whilst others are completely new and result from changes that have come about in the 21st century, such as increased arrogance, ignorance, authoritarianism, educational insecurity, contempt for nature, confusion and the promotion of the lies under the name of post-truth . The authors propose a holistic approach to the education process, focused on priorities. In turn, the definition of those priorities should result from the most important problems that affect humanity.

Towards New Urban Agenda: A Radical Reorientation of Urban Planning Education in India

An urbanizing country such as India has its own development challenges given the conditions of dystopias and discontent in the urban areas. In addition, three global agendas, namely the New Urban Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals and the Nationally Determined Contributions towards climate change mitigation also demand actions in the cities. The traditional urban planning approach, based on master/development planning, and stemming from it, urban planning education, is highly technocratic and unable to deal with the reality of development challenges. In addition, urban planning education in India suffers from over-regulation and standardization, which leaves educational institutions devoid of innovation. Thus, for urban planning education to be relevant in India there is a need to revise and broaden the scope of the urban planning profession, non-standardize its contents, pay attention to substantive aspects including issues of equity and sustainability, have a future-facing approach towards dealing with climate change and rethink its pedagogic methods. However, for these changes to occur, urban planning educational institutes must take the lead and initiate radical reforms in country’s higher education regulatory system.

What I Should Have Learned In School : Making The Connection Between Land Use Planning & The Duty To Consult

This major research paper examines whether land use planning in Canada incorporates Aboriginal and treaty rights into its processes, by way of integrating the duty to consult, as well as to examine whether planning education teaches students about these issues. By examining literature and policy, and conducting interviews with planners, planning faculty, archaeologists and legal practitioners, this research sheds light on where the duty to consult First Nations intersects with land use planning in Ontario. The paper concludes with two recommendations: first, changes must be made to municipal land use planning in Ontario, and by extension the rest of Canada; second, foundational planning curriculum must provide planning students with knowledge of Aboriginal and treaty rights and land use planning.
