  • Shifting Shopping Patterns Through Food Marketplace Platform: a Case Study in Major Cities of Indonesia

[email protected] 2 Computer Science Faculty, Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12550, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: The obligation to keep a distance from other people due to the pandemic has changed human life patterns, especially in shopping for their primary needs, namely food. The presence of the food marketplace presents new hope in maintaining health and food availability without crowding with other people while shopping. The main problem that is often a concern of the public when shopping online is transaction security and the Ease of use of this food marketplace applica- tion. This research is the intensity of using the Food Marketplace in terms of Interest, transaction security, and Ease of use of this application.Researchers analyzed the relationship between varia- bles with the Structural equation model. Respondents who became this sample were 300 applica- tion users spread across various major cities in Indonesia.This study's results provide a view that the intensity of the food marketplace's use has increased significantly during the new normal life.

  • Mandaluyong City, Philippines
    MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Public Buildings) Project Summary: Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines, has the eighteenth largest metropolitan area in the world, which includes fifteen cities and two municipalities. Mandaluyong City is the smallest city of the cities in Metro Manila, with an area of only twelve square kilometers and a population of over 278,000 people. A public market was located in the heart of Mandaluyong City, on a 7,500 square meters area along Kalentong Road, a main transit route. In 1991, the market was destroyed in a major fire, in large part because most of the structure was made of wood. As a temporary answer for the displaced vendors, the government allowed about 500 of them to set up stalls along the area’s roads and sidewalks. This rapidly proved to be impractical, in that it led to both traffic congestion and sanitation problems. Rebuilding the public market became a high priority for the city government, but financing a project with an estimated cost of P50 million was beyond the city’s capability. Local interest rates were high, averaging approximately 18 percent annually, and the city was not prepared to take on the additional debt that construction of a new market would have required. The city government was also concerned that if the charges to stall owners became too onerous, the increased costs would have to be passed on to their customers, many of whom were lower-income residents of the area. The answer to this problem that the city government decided to utilize was based on the Philippines’ national Build-Operate-Transfer law of 1991.

  • The Workplace Food Hall & the Future of the Company
    THE WORKPLACE FOOD HALL & THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY CAFETERIA Everyone loves great food. Over the past few decades, we’ve gone from a culture that placed a premium on meals of convenience — microwave dinners, fast food, anything that comes out of a box — to one that increasingly values delicious, high-quality food experiences. We no longer settle for whatever is easiest or cheapest. We now live in an age where people will happily drive miles out of their way to grab a gourmet grilled cheese from a food truck with great Yelp reviews. We also crave variety, authenticity, and value in our meals. Present us with a predictable and lackluster menu, and we notice. If the food isn’t great, we probably won’t come back if we have better options. That’s even true for those hurried meals we take during our lunch breaks at work. For legacy cafeteria providers, the consumer shift towards thoughtful, artisanal meals is becoming a serious problem. For legacy cafeteria The Global providers it was never Food Hall Trend about the food The idea behind the modern food hall is simple: Create a central place where people from all walks of life can come Countless companies have spent — and lost — a tremendous together to sample and taste their way through the best amount of money on their cafeterias. They’re losing more dishes an entire city has to offer. It works by turning an now than ever before.

  • Marketplace of Ideas: but First, the Bill a Personal Commentary on American and European Cultural Funding by William Osborne As
    Marketplace of Ideas: But First, The Bill A Personal Commentary On American and European Cultural Funding By William Osborne As an American who has lived in Europe for the last 24 years, I see on a daily basis how different the American and European economic systems are, and how deeply this affects the ways they produce, market and perceive art. America advocates supply-side economics, small government and free trade – all reflecting a belief that societies should minimize government expenditure and maximize deregulated, privatized global capitalism. Corporate freedom is considered a direct and analogous extension of personal freedom. Europeans, by contrast, hold to mixed economies with large social and cultural programs. Governmental spending often equals about half the GNP. Europeans argue that an unmitigated capitalism creates an isomorphic, corporate-dominated society with reduced individual and social options. Americans insist that privatization and the marketplace provide greater efficiency than governments. These two economic systems have created something of a cultural divide between Europeans and Americans. Germany’s public arts funding, for example, allows the country to have 23 times more full-time symphony orchestras per capita than the United States, and approximately 28 times more full-time opera houses. [1] In Europe, publicly funded cultural institutions are used to educate young people and this helps to maintain a high level of interest in the arts. In America, arts education faces constant cutbacks, which helps reduce interest. The Rise of Neo-Liberalism As a Cultural Paradigm The divisions between American and European arts-funding models are best understood if one briefly considers the changes that have evolved in U.S.

  • Carnext, Europe's Leading Online B2C and B2B Used Car Marketplace, Raises EUR 400 Million to Accelerate Growth
    PRESS RELEASE CarNext, Europe’s leading online B2C and B2B used car marketplace, raises EUR 400 million to accelerate growth Amsterdam, July 6, 2021 – CarNext, one of Europe’s leading online B2C and B2B used car marketplaces, today announced that it has been carved out from LeasePlan into a fully independent business owned by a consortium of investors including TDR capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), GIC, PGGM, ATP and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and raised €400 million to supercharge the next phase of its growth. Also announced today, CarNext has entered into an exclusive Long-Term Service Agreement with LeasePlan, one of the largest car leasing companies in the world with over 1.8 million vehicles under management in 30 countries. This guarantees CarNext a supply of close to 300,000 high-quality used cars annually to sell through its B2C and B2B marketplaces across Europe, giving the company an excellent base for future growth. Since its launch in 2018, CarNext has demonstrated exponential growth and increasing scale. CarNext’s B2B operations are present in 22 countries, while its B2C marketplace is already present in seven of the largest markets across Europe. In 2020, CarNext sold 40,000 cars B2C and 200,000 cars via its digital B2B auction platform and trader app across Europe. This represents a GMV (gross merchandise value) of €2.5 billion. Today’s announcement means that CarNext is in an even stronger position to pursue its ambitious expansion plan across the exciting €400bn European used car market.1 As an independent business with strong financial backing, CarNext will accelerate vehicle sourcing from trusted third parties, expand its offering across Europe and further boost its growth to help even more customers get great cars, hassle free.

  • The Mayor Recognises That Street
    Planning for Markets: Understanding the role of planning policy and management approaches in sustaining markets in London Rosita Aiesha Bartlett School of Planning University College London (UCL) MPhil Town Planning 1 I, Rosita Aiesha, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ………………………………….. 2 Abstract Over the last decade, there has been a growing interest amongst policy makers in the market’s potential role in contributing to solutions in key social and economic public policy agendas. In particular, Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres suggests that markets have a role to play in revitalising town centres and offering retail choice. To date, very little is known about the contemporary relevance of markets and specifically why markets have been prioritised in retail planning policy and received public policy interest. This paper investigates these issues further. Through a literature review, it develops a conceptual and contextual framework for understanding markets. It then draws on empirical research, i.e. survey and interview data from a study of London boroughs and a case study of one London Local Authority (Camden), to highlight the effects of current day-to-day management and planning approaches in sustaining markets. The research demonstrates that the contemporary role of the market is multidimensional, e.g. they appear to play significant roles as managed public space but also act as an important social and economic space, particularly for marginal social groups. Moreover, the empirical evidence shows that, whilst proactive planning policies do not guarantee a vibrant market, they can play a key part in protecting their permanent loss; however, equally important is the supportive management approaches taken in shaping their social survival.

  • The Curation of the Street Food Scene in London
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The Curation of the Street Food Scene in London Paz Concha A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2017. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 89223 words. I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Alexandra Albert. 2 Abstract This research is an ethnography about the curation of the street food scene in London that looks at processes of cultural calculation to make markets and to assemble marketplaces. The main research question that is guiding this thesis is how is the street food scene in London being curated? This inquiry follows previous research in cultural economies in different scenes of cultural production like advertising, fashion or music (Du Gay and Pryke, 2002; Slater, 2002a; Entwistle, 2006, 2009; McFall, 2002, 2009, 2013; Ariztía, 2015; Negus, 2002; Law, 2002; McRobbie, 2016; Arriagada, 2014; Arriagada and Cruz, 2014).
