Abstract

The choice of institutional development for Jakarta as Indonesian capital city can be the barometer of equity and fairness as value to whole developing nation, especially for urban development in Indonesia. If megalopolis concept proposed by Sutiyoso received without reverse, then we have disease to the equity and fairness values as a nation state. Megalopolis is a city characterized by: (1) huge population and density; (2) national and international networking scale; (3) huge integrated spatial. The problematic situation of urban development in Jakarta is urgent, but it is un-fair and unequal if development of other cities in Indonesia is abandoned. The choice to develop megalopolis is still unclear.

Abstract

Children are unique and also potential market because they usually do not spend their own money but they have a huge purchasing power through their parents. They are potential market, because from the number of kids in the market and their spending are big and promising. There are three types of kids market: first, children as the primary markets; second, children as the influencer market which emphasizing on the influence of children assert on family purchases. Third, because the children will grow up, then we can consider children as the future market. Based on the above descriptions, the authors intent to identify the determinants of children intention to consume such as product characteristics, reference group, retail environment and promotion, and create a questionnaire for the children and develop hypothesis using these study findings. The data obtained from the field using survey method was used to test all the hypotheses empirically. Based on the research findings, we came to conclusion that the promotion has a greater and important effect in developing intention of children’s consumption. These initial findings will be used intentionally in another study which is try to find out the relationship between children intention to consume and their commitment to future market as they grown up and second objective of this study is to develop an initial and appropriate questionnaire for the children which we realize is different from questionnaire for the adult people.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain a theoretical model on cleanliness behavior of the urban society. This model was built based on the pattern of cleanliness behavior which was studied by observing the psychological factors within the individual and the socio-physical factors related to the participants. The indicator used to measure the cleanliness of the environment was the quantity of garbage scattered around the observed location. By living in the society, the researchers could observe and investigate the occurance of cleanliness behavior in the urban region. Direct observation was conducted in 4 (four) clean and 4 (four) dirty group of locations. Qualitative methods were used to process the information from those groups, in order to get significant information regarding the differences and similarities from those locations. The result showed that society’s day-to-day collective action toward garbage created a pattern of cleanliness behavior that is relatively permanent. A series of collective actions which were not in accordance with the communal motive formed cleanliness behavior pattern “X” and created a condition of dirty environment. Meanwhile, the other series of collective actions which were in accordance with the communal motives formed cleanliness behavior pattern “Y”. The collective efforts of the society in a p

Abstract

There have been some misfits between the practice of urban planning at a macro scale and the needs of the society at a micro scale. This paper intends to discuss this issue by illustrating a case of high density urban housing as a supporting system for the activities in a traditional market as urban public facilities. The case suggests a dialog between the physical space determined by macro-scale planning and the everyday social life of the community living in the housing surrounding the market. The housing plays an important role as a living space for the market workers and as a setting for various activities that support the trading activities in the market. Unfortunately, there is a tendency that despite its importance, the quality of the housing is still far from sufficient as a space for living. The findings in this study suggest that the practice of urban design, especially in the provision of public facilities, needs to integrate macro urban scale with more micro everyday life of the communities. The practice of urban design needs to be sensitive to the diversity in urban environment and the interrelationships between urban elements. In this way, it would be possible to create urban environment that caters for the needs of its inhabitants in a sustainable way, both at macro scale and micro scale.

Abstract

This is a research about effectiveness of businesswomen leadership in four different ethnic groups in Indonesia. The effectiveness is measured in a condition where the leadership is supported by several factors, such as intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills and culture. The subjects of this research are 216 female leaders of business units that consist of at least 10 employees, from Bali in Bali, Java in central Java, Minangkabau in West Sumatra and Batak tribes (Karo, Angkola, Mandailing) in North Sumatra. The result of this research shows that the examination of hypotheses using the theoretical model consisting of intrapersonal factors (leadership intelligence, sex roles, educational background), interpersonal factors (assertiveness, leadership style and leadership behaviour), and culture (family, business environment, and cultural environment) can be used to explain leadership effectiveness, although the influence of the three factors above are not significant. Almost all business women have a transformational leadership style. A more meaningful parameter to measure female leadership effectiveness, a larger number of subjects in each ethnic group, and variations of business fields are suggested.

Abstract

This research attempts to build a structural model based on an integrative approach to explain labor intention to participate in collective action. This research is relevant as most of the existing theories and approaches explain the collective action phenomena partially. The main objective of this research is to analyze the integrative approach of psychological social psychology (individual factors), sociological social psychology (inter-group relation factors) and social constructionism (societal factor) in explaining labor intention to participate in collective action, such as demonstrations and labor strikes. This integrative approach research tested a theoretically derived pattern of specific relationship between individual level of analysis, inter-group relation and societal or ideological level of analysis where each level of analysis was represented by one or more theories. The research model proposes three exogenous latent variables namely: social representation, organizational commitment and union commitment, and four endogenous latent variables that are: social identity, relative deprivation, expectancy-value motives and intention to participate in collective action. These research findings proved that an integrative approach model which was represented by expectancy-value motives (individual level), both relative deprivation and social identity (inter-group level) and social representation (societal level) explain the labor intention participating in collective action was significant in non participant sample. On the other hand, in participant sample there were only two factors namely inter-group relation and societal context which explain the emerging of the labor intention participating in collective action.
