Revitalization is a systemic process and methodology to reactivate local potentials in the context of preserving important cultures in the face of changing times. Revitalization of local culture as a ...big job, not just an activity to explore the heritage of tradition and then preserve it. Rather, that local culture stored in cultural heritage is used as a light in accompanying and coloring the musical character of the nation. Change can only be through real activities and not discourse, "this is where creativity and cultural values that can build human character lie. The collapse of traditional culture is not impossible that the Indonesian nation will lose its identity in the future. The degradation of the younger generation's interest in learning about their local culture must be resolved immediately.
Despite its medieval origins (1423), the city of Łódź is young. It flourished as an important industrial center in the nineteenth century, becoming the second largest city in Poland in the twentieth. ...Its “American” plan with one main street and districts developing around factories is unusual in Poland and leaves little room for city squares and public space. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Łódź has been trying to create more shared areas because they underwent far-reaching degradation after the transformatio of 1989 and the economic crisis of the 1990s. Nowadays, however, these areas are being revitalized. There are many competitions and projects concerning both the rehabilitation of existing city squares and the creation of new ones. However, the term “city square” has largely lost its original, traditional meaning, with “square” now covering a variety of open spaces, ranging from pedestrian streets to courtyards. The article discusses selected examples of municipal and private investments in squares, streets and parks. Despite the positive reception of these urban changes, the “renewal” of the city is criticized by specialists and considered controversial.The article attempts to analyze these solutions in terms of urban planning as well as urban landscape and ecology, also venturing to gauge whether such solutions can be considered modern and adequate to the requirements of twenty-first-century urban planning.
Pomimo początków sięgających średniowiecza (1423 r.) Łódź jest miastem młodym. Rozkwitła jako ważny ośrodek przemysłowy w XIX wieku, stając się drugim co do wielkości miastem w Polsce w XX wieku. Jej "amerykański" plan z jedną główną ulicą i dzielnicami rozwijającymi się wokół fabryk jest nietypowy w Polsce i pozostawia niewiele miejsca na place miejskie i przestrzeń publiczną. Od początku XX wieku Łódź stara się tworzyć więcej obszarów wspólnych, ponieważ uległy one daleko idącej degradacji po transformacji 1989 roku i kryzysie gospodarczym lat 90-tych. Obecnie jednak obszary te są rewitalizowane. Istnieje wiele konkursów i projektów dotyczących zarówno odnowy istniejących placów miejskich, jak i tworzenia nowych. Jednak termin "plac miejski" w dużej mierze utracił swoje pierwotne, tradycyjne znaczenie, a "plac" obejmuje obecnie różnorodne otwarte przestrzenie, od deptaków po dziedzińce. W artykule omówiono wybrane przykłady miejskich i prywatnych inwestycji w place, ulice i parki. Pomimo pozytywnego odbioru tych zmian urbanistycznych "odnowa" miasta jest krytykowana przez specjalistów i uznawana za kontrowersyjną. W artykule podjęto próbę analizy tych rozwiązań pod kątem urbanistyki, a także krajobrazu miejskiego i ekologii, a także próbę oceny, czy takie rozwiązania można uznać za nowoczesne i adekwatne do wymagań urbanistyki XXI wieku.
The development of a city can be influenced by several things, including the geographical location and the condition of the natural resources of the region or area, one example is the city of ...Balikpapan whose development was initiated by the presence of petroleum natural resources, so that until now the city of Balikpapan is still known as "Oil City". Another advantage that makes the development of the city of Balikpapan is faster because it is supported by the geographical condition of the city of Balikpapan so that it becomes more strategic and is used as a stopover place both between cities and between provinces. As a stopover, the characteristics that can become the identity of a region are very important. To realize this, this research was carried out, using descriptive and qualitative methods in analysis and discussion. From the results of the analysis, it is known that it is necessary to maintain the physical form of an area, especially those that have historical values in the course of city development, one of which is by revitalizing and conserving areas in the city.
The advancement of communication and information technology has dramatically influenced both positive and negative influences, especially on children. Therefore, parents must educate their children ...well, not negatively, to influence the advancement of communication and information technology.

The best education is to instil religious values in children from an early age, so the first and foremost thing to give this education is parents at home by setting a good example so that they can stick in the child's heart throughout his life.
This study aims to analyze the strategy of revitalizing the leadership of madrasah principals in improving the quality of education units in Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) in the West Aceh Regency. This ...study uses a qualitative approach to revealing the factual conditions of the revitalization of madrasah leadership in improving the quality of education. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and document studies on reports of madrasa activities. Data analysis techniques for research results are carried out by interpreting and designing action plans on research results. The results show that the head of MTs West Aceh has not optimally improved the quality of functions in revitalizing the synergy and harmony among teachers and employees in improving the quality of education units, revitalizing processes, tools, and learning media in improving the quality of education units and revitalizing the participation of the community and government in improving quality. Education units in madrasas. The implication of the less than the optimal revitalization of madrasah leadership has resulted in a decline in the quality of the learning process and the quality of educational outcomes in madrasas.
Matera, a medium-sized town in Basilicata, Southern Italy, was European Capital of Culture in 2019, at the end of twenty years of strong tourist flows growth. On the one hand, tourism development was ...perceived as a significant opportunity for economic development and urban and real estate renovation and enhancement. On the other hand, especially in the last years, tourism impacts were often considered excessive. First, there is a review of the most used terms to define the impacts of tourism, and a description of the context and the evolution of tourist flows in the city in the last twenty years. Then, the paper aims to explain the actual impacts of tourism on the urban environment, analyzing the spatial distribution of tourist attractions and accommodations, and the real estate market, taking into consideration also the role of accommodation booking and sharing platforms. The analysis partially confirms the worries about the negative externalities of tourism; nonetheless, it also scales them down, thanks to a more accurate investigation on the peculiarities and the potential of the city, which make it hardly comparable with other cities.
This research aims to employ the focus group interview methodology to extract important insights and policy recommendations for the revitalization of tourism in island regions during the era of ...significant digital transformation. To achieve this objective, the current study focuses on Jebudo Island, located in Hwaseong-city, Gyeonggi province, as a representative case area and utilizes the findings obtained to identify practical and efficacious viewpoints. The ensuing report highlights the paramount importance and policy recommendations extracted via a focus group interview technique. Initially, considering the prospect of being established as a tourism hub, Jebudo Island has persistently engaged in development and business promotions. However, the island continues to be characterized by an aging tourist destination, emphasizing private facilities, which does not align with the current tourism trend. In light of the ongoing digital transformation, it is imperative that Jebudo Island utilizes its local resources efficiently while adhering to contemporary tourism trends by implementing relevant technologies appropriately. Another noteworthy policy recommendation pertains to the underdevelopment of Jebudo Island, given its remarkable geographical conditions and regional resources. Conventionally, tourism activities were confined to sightseeing, primarily highlighting hardware and natural landscapes. However, recently, such activities have shifted towards experiences and emotions, emphasizing content and engagement. Consequently, the need to develop content using cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, metaverse, and ChatGPT is essential to enhance national awareness. Finally, concerning the island's placeness strategy in conjunction with digital transformation, islands face a daunting challenge of regional extinction, with a more severe decline in population than that of mainland areas. Despite various policy measures to address this issue, no effective exit strategy has emerged thus far. Therefore, it is imperative to devise a strategy centered on the sense of place that aligns with regional characteristics. In particular, engaging the MZ generation, which values novel social values and actively utilizes social media and the internet, could lead to broader engagement across other generations. Moreover, in the process of revitalizing island tourism during the digital transformation era, various stakeholders are intricately interconnected. Hence, it is crucial to utilize different platforms and establish cooperative governance. Furthermore, to create a functional ecosystem, it is crucial to institute policies such as island business schools, forums, and full-time operating organizations to enhance expertise and commercial viability, while fostering sustainable strategic discussions. Notwithstanding, considering that the present study solely examined the case of Jebudo Island in Hwaseong through the focus group interviews in the era of significant digital transformation, it remains uncertain whether the findings can be uniformly applied and extrapolated to other islands. Consequently, further studies are essential to enhance objectivity and empirical validity by broadening the scope of case areas and incorporating stakeholder surveys.
