Parakan that has been known as a city of “Kaum” since the pre-colonial era has been designated as a heritage city since 2015 as a part of heritage city of Temanggung, Central Java, Indonesia. The history of Parakan itself has been formed in the different version, referring to some sources either from literature as well as from direct sources (observation and interviews). This condition has encouraged the authors to investigate the history of Parakan through the architectural heritage within Kauman Area as well as through oral tradition from the local community. The existence of architectural heritage within Kauman Area has revealed the history of Parakan, particularly the history of Kauman, Parakan. This research uti-lizes a qualitative methods and interviews since there is limited written resources covering Parakan’s history. As a conclusion, the authors have found that by exploring, learning and describing the existing architectural heritage within the area, the authors could revealed the history of Parakan.

This research aims to study cultural invasion from the countries inside and outside of the Asian Economic Community - AEC, that affects values on traditional dance among the Thai and Lao societies; the cultures of these two countries are related and similar. The approach of foreign cultures; therefore, impacts the two cultures in the same direction. The research found that natural characteristics of the new generations adapt to the global economic and social changes based on five variables; media and technology, music and entertainment businesses, education, fashion, and food. These affect values of the Thai people evidently, especially media and technology that is the core where other variables are passed through. This results in unconscious information absorption of the cultures; this leads to a new culture adoption which results in changes of cultures and ways of life. This impacts values in traditional dance, leading to the lack of human resources that could help continue the work of traditional dance. Strengthening youth that will become Thailand’s future driving force needs to start from cultivating the right values. Guidance from family and teachers are encouraged to give comprehension, awareness, admiration and conservation of the national cultures, to further select, adapt, and comprehend cultural invasion effectively.

This article describes the multilingual landscape aspect of the Isan Culture Maintenance and Revitalization Programme (ICMRP), a 500,000-euro, four-year European Union co-sponsored cultural maintenance and revival project focusing on the Thai Lao, Thailand’s largest ethnic minority community, in four municipalities in Northeast Thailand. The article begins by situating the multilingual landscape of the ICMRP within a holistic project, including manufacturing ‘ethnic’ student and municipal uniforms, teaching Isan as a mother tongue, recording a multimedia cultural archive, and designing and installing multilingual signage. It then argues the ICMRP’s multilingual landscape should be understood within a framework involving geosemiotics, the linguistic landscape, and language policy and planning. The ICMRP’s multilingual landscape contributes to the standardisation of a Thai Lao alphabet and spelling. It also seeks to officialise Thai Lao, through official signage, and thereby promote Thai Lao’s revival, as part of meeting Thailand’s human rights obligations as well as ASEAN community building.

This paper will consider the structural nature of human rights regarding Rohingya as well as a discussion of the failure of transformative peace. The paper will proceed first by considering the national standing of Rohingya regarding citizenship/nationality then consider the context of Myanmar being an ASEAN member state and avenues for redress at the regional level. Next will be an analysis of Myanmar’s international human rights obligations and lastly consider peace or the lack thereof from Galtung’s theory of cultural and structural violence.

The scope of study in this paper encompasses architectural and urban design approaches from three cultural systems: vernacular, Renaissance and modern urbanism. The main objective is to understand how cultural design aesthetics contribute to perspectives in visualizing and conceptualizing the construction of buildings and planning of urban settings such as residential and street layout designs in succeeding eras from pre-modern, Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, post-industrial and Postmodern centuries. A comparison of the paramount cultural design characteristics that distinguish each type of urban architectural form is undertaken. In examining the impact of social shifts and economic development on urban design planning of complex modern societies, scholarly perspectives of distinctive architectural styles of Western cultures will be critically discussed through the qualitative methodology of case studies. This examination is then framed into a comparative table in the aim of differentiating each approach. Findings from this research suggest the strategic importance of cultural design aesthetics as an emerging concept of urban design and architectural planning in order to produce resilient, adaptive communities. This is a key framework in understanding how urban design planning helps communities synchronize living habitats to shifting conditions such as climate changes, economic demands and social needs. This paper proposes for collaborative planning and decision making, as well as policymaking mechanisms centered on developing and sustaining urban resilience, while empowering stakeholders to overcome the growing scale of problems and issues that beset modern cities.

The protection of the environment has been at the heart of local communities. The old sages, in most communities creatively fashioned cultural traditions with the goal of conserving the environment while judiciously using its precious resources. It is regrettable that local people and their time-tested cultural practices are neglected in environmental schemes, especially at the consultation and implementation stages. The thrust of the research was to highlight the benefits of incorporating local communities and their cultural traditions in all activities related to the environment using the classic example of the people of Anyinam in Ghana. Focus group discussions and direct observations were the main instrumentations used for soliciting data from the phenomenological study in a qualitative research approach. The study concludes that developmental planners and policy makers must promote the full participation of local communities in environmental schemes to aid in better infrastructure development schemes for the environment.

In the middle of the so-called migration crisis and in face of neoliberal politics leading to an astonishing rise of fascism and xenophobia worldwide, cultural producers and artistic communities are responding with an intensification of critical discourses, artistic strategies and spatial tactics¬ that foster inclusion, social cohesion and empowerment of migrant populations towards mutual respect and acknowledgment of the richness of multiculturalism and diversity. Within this context, this article will examine a particular project named The House of Open Gates that took place in the city of Graz, Austria, in the autumn of 2016. This project was part of the Steirischer Herbst festival, entitled Narratives from the Arrival City. In this article I would like to make a short expedition between my artistic position (as a member of the curatorial and artistic team) and the used tactics, while addressing both the process in which the House of Open Gates was conceived and how it became a temporary space of openness and otherness in the city of Graz.

The aims of this research were first to study cultures outside the ASEAN Economic Community – AEC that have entered Thai society and their affects on the original values of music education students during the 10-year period from 2006-15. Secondly, to study the ways of life and learning behaviors of the music education students at the higher education level caused by the consumption of cultures outside the AEC. The qualitative research method in collecting and analyzing data from documents and interviews was utilized. The research focused on a sample group of educators with direct experience in the with music education graduates and those with direct experience in hiring graduates of music education programs. The research results showed that the influence of foreign cultures outside the AEC are composed of two factors: 1) The consumption of music and entertainment content and 2) the use of modern media and technology. These variables affect the ways of life and learning behaviors of the music education students throughout the 10-year period.
