Abstract

City dynamics must be seen as a complex system with varying degrees of non-linear interaction of space and time. Cities are not constantly growing. At some point it will shrink and may die. Many factors cause such as globalization, suburbanization, post-socialism, and changes in demographic structure and so on. In many studies, the shrinking city phenomenon is mostly carried out in developed countries. However, developing countries are not impossible to experience this phenomenon. Each city experiencing the shrinking city phenomenon has different characteristics. In developing countries, local government policies that depend on various aspects of central government policies have a level of vulnerability to shrinking city phenomenon. Changes in central government policy on the smal city have an impact on changes in the economic structure of the city. Moreover, limited resources and the absence of small city innovation make it increasingly difficult for cities to grow.

Abstract

Indonesia as a constitutional state ( rechtsstaat ) regulates demonstrations through a hierarchical system of positive law norms. This study examines how legal positivism paradigm structures the legislative response to public demonstrations through formal-procedural frameworks. Using qualitative methods and a literature-based approach, this research analyzes how positivist legislators assess demonstrations based exclusively on compliance with formal procedures established in statutory law, particularly Law No. 9/1998 on Freedom of Expression in Public. The findings demonstrate that the positivist paradigm strictly separates legal validity from moral considerations—a demonstration's legality is determined solely by adherence to prescribed procedures, regardless of the substantive justice or urgency of its demands. Legal certainty is achieved through consistent application of formal rules derived from authoritative sources, not through moral evaluation. This study clarifies that in the positivist framework, demonstrations function as constitutionally protected aspirational mechanisms only when executed within procedural boundaries, with any deviation subject to sanctions irrespective of moral claims.
