Various competitiveness reports on tourism have ranked Japan as one of the most visited countries in Asia. Along with South Korea and Singapore, Japan offers many unique traits to the tourists. Since the establishment of “Kihinkai” (lit. Welcome Society), Japan’s first organization to engage with foreign tourists, the country has succeeded in developing various sector of tourism such as heritage sites, nature-based tourism, religious sites, and urban tourism. Tokyo Metropolis, as the capital of Japan, is one of the best examples in urban tourism sector. Hotel occupancy in Tokyo has risen around 80% in the last decade, showing high growth of tourism in the city. The aforementioned growth is supported by many factors, with one of them being the enhancement of tourist attractions. The paper examines Tokyo’s nine most famous tourist attractions specifically at their spatial aspects. The complexity of place, accessibility and the presence of surrounding amenities, as well as the ambience or atmosphere offered by the attractions are the components analyzed to form a set of characteristics that define the character of Tokyo’s tourist attractions. The compiled data can be a precedent study or preliminary guideline for other big cities in Japan or Asia to develop their potential of urban tourism.

Abstract

After the publication of Urban Sprawl and Public Health, the argument of providing nice pedestrian facilities is not only concerned about the aesthetic and social aspects, but also about the health improvement of the people. The shift has made the world's major cities realize the importance of good pedestrian design. Walkable city has become the current goal in city development for most countries in South-east Asia, including Indonesia and Singapore. Indonesian cities such as Surabaya and Jakarta have made attempts on promoting walking habits through several programs such as children friendly public space development and riverfront revitalization. Yogyakarta, one of Indonesia’s major cities, still struggles in encouraging its citizens to walk more. This study observed the current condition of the city’s pedestrian system and facilities. The result showed that the main cause of the discouragement is the street condition that doesn’t put the pedestrian as the prime user. Improvements have been made at several sections of the street, showing the government's real effort on fixing the problem. Comparative study with Singapore’s pedestrian facilities was conducted and it showed that to encourage people to walk, it is not just about providing good street infrastructure, but more to enhancing people’s walking experience.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of urban environments in popular music, analyzing how songs within similar eras depict particular perceptions of cities. The methodology consists of two main stages: systematic song selection from the mid-20th century to the present based on explicit urban references, followed by detailed song analysis using Python-based Natural Language Processing to measure urban theme strength, Pearson correlation analyses, and thematic assessments with TF-IDF and NMF techniques. Findings reveal a shift from mid-20th century idealistic views of urban life to more complex and nuanced representations reflecting contemporary social and economic realities. This evolution underscores pop music’s role as a mirror of urban experiences, capturing the vibrancy, challenges, and contradictions of city life. Limitation of the study includes the reliance on popularity metrics, as these may not fully capture a song’s cultural significance due to demographic biases and the influence of streaming algorithms. Nonetheless, this research contributes to urban studies and musicology by highlighting the intricate relationship between cultural expressions and urban perceptions. It suggests that utilizing pop songs as a methodological tool offers a novel way of understanding urban perception, providing an alternative to traditional studies that primarily focus on individual experiences. Penelitian ini mengkaji representasi lingkungan perkotaan dalam musik populer, menganalisis bagaimana lagu-lagu dalam era yang serupa menggambarkan persepsi tertentu tentang kota. Metodologi yang digunakan terdiri dari dua tahap: pemilihan lagu sistematis dari pertengahan abad ke-20 hingga saat ini berdasarkan referensi perkotaan yang eksplisit, diikuti dengan analisis lagu terperinci menggunakan Pemrosesan Bahasa Alami berbasis Python untuk mengukur kekuatan tema perkotaan, analisis korelasi Pearson, dan penilaian tematik dengan teknik TF-IDF dan NMF. Temuan mengungkapkan pergeseran dari pandangan idealistik kehidupan perkotaan di pertengahan abad ke-20 menjadi representasi yang lebih kompleks, mencerminkan realitas sosial dan ekonomi kontemporer. Evolusi ini menegaskan peran musik pop sebagai cermin pengalaman perkotaan, menangkap kehidupan kota yang penuh semangat, tantangan, dan kontradiksi. Keterbatasan studi ini termasuk ketergantungan pada metrik popularitas, karena ini mungkin tidak sepenuhnya menangkap signifikansi budaya sebuah lagu karena bias demografis dan pengaruh algoritma streaming. Namun demikian, penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi kepada studi perkotaan dan musikologi dengan menyoroti hubungan rumit antara ekspresi budaya dan persepsi perkotaan, membentuk bagaimana kehidupan kota dialami dan dipahami. Makalah ini menyarankan bahwa menggunakan lagu pop sebagai alat metodologis menawarkan cara baru untuk memahami persepsi perkotaan, menyediakan alternatif untuk studi tradisional yang kebanyakan berfokus pada pengalaman individu.
