Urban Park is a green open space in the form of social facilities that play an essential role in improving the quality of life of urban communities. This study aims to determine the categories of urban park services that can fit the community needs in Semarang City, Indonesia, covering locations of observation: Simpang Lima Park, Indonesia Kaya Park, Pandanaran Park, Banjir Kanal Barat Park, and Sri Gunting Park. Data were obtained by using a semi-open questionnaire from 100 park users. The analysis process used a scoring technique and hypothetical score category. The results showed that urban park services were in the “medium’ category. It can be seen from the assessment of 17 ideal urban park variables, dominated by the “medium” category (335<=X<397). They are completeness of the facilities, quality of facilities, types and the number of trees, suitability of the distance between spaces, park cleanliness conditions, clean air quality, wind, and sun direction orientation, parks’ use for social interaction, and users’ interest to promote the parks. These results indicated that urban park services were not yet maximum in fitting the community needs. This study is expected to be used for evaluation and input for future urban park planning.
城市公园是一种社会设施形式的绿色开放空间,对提高城市社区的生活质量起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在确定适合印尼三宝郎市社区需求的城市公园服务类别,涵盖观察地点:Simpang Lima公园、印度尼西亚Kaya公园、Pandanaran公园、Banjir Kanal Barat公园和Sri Gunting公园。数据通过对100名公园使用者进行半开放式问卷调查获得。分析过程使用了评分技术和假设得分类别。结果表明,城市公园服务处于“中等”水平。从17个理想城市公园变量的评价可以看出,以“中等”类别为主(335<=X<397)。它们是设施的完整性、设施的质量、树木的种类和数量、空间之间距离的适宜性、公园的清洁度、清洁空气的质量、风和太阳的方向、公园的社交用途以及用户对公园的兴趣。这些结果表明,城市公园服务尚未最大限度地满足社区需求。本研究可望为日后的城市公园规划提供评价及参考。

Social networking sites (SNSs) serve as a powerful tool for international students to adapt to the host country and improve life satisfaction. However, the use of SNSs also brings negative influences on their life satisfaction. Additionally, the mechanisms by which this occurs are still unclear. This study employed an online cross-sectional survey of 267 Chinese students in Malaysia to explore the relationship between SNSs usage (usage engagement and acculturation usage) and life satisfaction by considering the mediating effect of host cultural identity and ethnic cultural identity. Data analysis relied on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and AMOS software. The findings showed that SNSs usage engagement and two cultural identities helped to improve life satisfaction. Moreover, two cultural identities can explain how SNSs usage engagement influences life satisfaction. Contrary to expectations, acculturation usage had a non-significant influence on life satisfaction. However, under the mediating effect of host cultural identity, acculturation usage positively predicted life satisfaction. The research can provide references for the Malaysian government and educational institutions when introducing relevant policies to promote the life satisfaction of international students. The shortcomings and possibilities for future research are also discussed.

Researchers from Western countries have studied how adolescents seek help, displaying that many young people are apathetic towards seeking professional counselling. However, using Western samples to highlight the common help-seeking behaviours (HSBs) of adolescents has significantly created a gap in the literature amongst members of indigenous communities in Northeast Nigeria. The literature is yet to understand the dynamics that help promote the HSBs of learners in public secondary schools in the community. Differently, previous studies have been delimited to learners as samples, thus discounting validations by school counsellors and managers. This study employed the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique for twenty-four student samples and in-depth interviews with four teacher-counsellors and four in-school administrators to explore the phenomenon of study in a real-world context. Using NVivo 10 software to analyse participants’ data corpus, the study has generated five emergent themes, namely: (i) Responsibility; (ii) Communalism; (iii) Value and belief norms; (iv) Counselling management in schools, and (v) Multicultural biases. As recommendations, the study suggests the need for counsellors to be multiculturally versatile—be aware of cultural interfaces and implications on counselling relationships as much as build linkages—advocacies, collaborations via the school Parents Teacher Association (PTA) and honour confidentiality in counselling.

Artikel ini mengkaji corak ruang tempat tinggal golongan B40 di Lembah Klang bagi memahami makna sosial daripada reka bentuk ruang domestik. Kajian ini tertumpu kepada tafsiran hubungan ruang dari segi logik sosial untuk mengobjektifkan corak ruang yang subjektif dalam pembangunan ruang domestik. Berdasarkan kaedah matematik dalam teknik space syntax, makalah ini menganalisis struktur sosial ruang di dalam rumah tertentu yang disepadukan atau dipisahkan sebagai petunjuk kesibukan ataupun ketenangan ruangan yang bersambung dalam sistem ruang. Nilai integrasi ialah kunci dalam kajian ini bagi mentafsir ruang domestik dan untuk menunjukkan fungsi ruang domestik secara sosial di peringkat kolektif.
