The Old City which is called Kota Tua is a historical tourism place in Jakarta which was built\nby Dutch colonialism in the 17th century. At that time, this location was the center of a Dutch\ncompany for spice trade also provided the original town hall as a public sphere for the\ncolonialist. After the independence era, the most famous buildings in this area were Jakarta\nHistory Museum and a town hall which is considered a landmark and an icon for this\nlocation. The purpose of this paper is to explain the construction of the city branding in the\nurban landscapes. At this point, this paper draws the attention to the connection of both the\nidentity and the image of the city beyond city branding. On the other side, this paper also\nfocuses on the impact of city branding on the tourism aspect in Jakarta. This study used a\nqualitative method with a case study research design conducted in Kota Tua. Kota Tua is\none of the tourism objects that is still maintaining the historical-cultural-social identity of\nJakarta. Kota Tua is one of the icons of the city of Jakarta. As the icon, Kota Tua becomes the\nmodel of the city branding project. The subjects in this study were the parties involved in\nbranding Kota Tua Jakarta. The subjects were purposively selected and divided into three\ncategories as follows: key informants, additional informants and triangulation informants.\nBased on the findings of this study, it is argued that city branding is a potential tool to bring\nnew perspectives as well as new creations which particularly help a site promote the\nidentity and image of the city. In practice, city branding is a part related with the cultural\nidentity of the Kota Tua, which represents colonialism history during the Ducth colonialism.\nIn addition, it was potentially strategic for imagining the urban landscapes. In this case, city\nbranding can be a strategy to connect the historical and cultural heritages with tourism\nattraction in an advance urban changing. Moreover, this paper covers how city branding\ncontributes to urban landscape which is an urban project for the alternative development in\nthe city....
This study was set out to identify the linkages between FDI, institutional\nchange, employment and services growth in megalopolises in China. We\nchoose the four super cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and\nShenzhen, take government interference and openness as the proxy variable\nof institutional change, based on Douglas production function and using data\nfrom Year 2006 to 2017, we investigated the relations between FDI, institutional\nchange, employment, and services growth with fixed effect panel data\nmodel. Findings show that FDI presented a significant positive impact on the\nservice economic growth of the four megalopolises, while the number of employees\nin the service industry has a negative effect on the growth of the service\nindustry, which is contrary to the common sense; With respect to institutional\nchange, openness presented a strong positive effect and effect of government\nintervention is not significant; the cityâ??s fixed investment and R & D\ninvestment of service sectors also presented an unclear effect....
Designing the appointment scheduling is a challenging task for the development\nof healthcare system. The efficient solution approach can provide\nhigh-quality healthcare service between care providers (CP)s and care receivers\n(CR)s. In this paper, we consider the healthcare system with the heterogeneous\nCRs in terms of urgent and routine CRs. Our suggested model assumes\nthat the system gives the service priority to the urgent CRs by allowing\nthem to interrupt the ongoing routine appointments. An appointment handoff\nscheme is suggested for the interrupted routine appointments, and thus\nthe routine CRs can attempt to re-establish the appointment scheduling with\nother available CPs. With these considerations, we study the scheduling performance\nof the system by using the Markov chains based modeling approach.\nThe numerical analysis is reported and the simulation experiment is\nconducted to validate the numerical results....
Since their liberalization, the electricity markets are characterized by a rather\nhigh volatility, which includes price spikes as one of the stylized and specific\ncharacteristics of this market. In this paper, we investigate the factors and\nmechanisms determining these spikes. Based on the Italian electricity market\ndata, we perform a specific analysis of the auctions mechanisms and of the\nhourly bid and offer of electricity characteristics, for determining how and\nwhy do price spikes occur....
As the most free-spirited and open economic zone in China, the Guangdong-\nHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is constructed towards the destination\nas a quality living circle for living, working and travelling.
