As the Tulou have not been classified as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, they lack Conservation and reuse financial support, receive minimal attention and face structural deterioration. The purpose of this study is to Cultural heritage explore a methodological approach to assess the value of non-World Heritage Tulou (NWHT) and provide Evaluation system grounds for the reuse of Tulou accordingly. First, building-type, planar layout and other characteristics of Pinghe Tulou NWHTs in Pinghe are reviewed. Next, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to the value evaluation of Pinghe Tulou. Then, policy recommendations for reuse and redevelopment are put forward. The findings suggest that focusing on the reuse of Tulou alone is not justifiable. Rather, funding, public participation and the con- tinuity of community life are important factors relating to the reuse of NWHTs. 1.

Security Threats to a Stable Democracy
At a glance October 2016 Indonesia: Security threats to a stable democracy Indonesia is a stable country which has undergone a successful transition to civilian democracy. However, there are still concerns about the military's continuing strong influence. There are also a number of internal and external threats to stability, although these remain fairly low-level, for now. Indonesian armed forces Indonesia's defence budget is just 0.9 % of GDP, much less than in Southeast Asian neighbours such as Malaysia (1.5 %) or Thailand (1.6 %). However, actual military spending is more than this, as the budget does not include all government spending on the armed forces or the military's own revenues (see below). The Indonesian military has 395 000 personnel (0.15 % of population) — mostly in the army (300 000), with the navy in second place (65 000). Again, this is relatively small — 0.53 % of Thais serve in the armed forces. Territorial disputes in the South China Sea have highlighted the need for Indonesia to have a strong military, and military expenditure is gradually increasing. President Jokowi aims to raise the defence budget to 1.5 % of GDP, provided that economic growth exceeds 6 %, which is questionable. Armed forces retain substantial political and economic influence Indonesia's military was at its most powerful under former dictator General Suharto, who ruled the country from 1967 to 1998. During that time, one fifth of parliamentary seats were held by unelected military representatives, and active military officers headed numerous ministries and provinces. Since then, democratic reforms have curbed the military's political role – military representatives no longer sit in the parliament, and active military personnel are barred from standing in elections. -

Transnational Cooperation on Anti-Terrorism: a Comparative Case Study of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia
A.S.M. Ali Ashraf TRANSNATIONAL COOPERATION ON ANTI-TERRORISM: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY OF SAUDI ARABIA AND INDONESIA A.S.M. Ali ASHRAF* Abstract Most western security experts suggest that transnational cooperation on anti-terrorism, especially with predominantly Muslim countries, will significantly help control the violent groups, prone to using jihadi ideology against western targets in general and American targets in particular. Security cooperation with the oil rich Middle Eastern countries and the Muslim majority Southeast Asian nations are particularly important. In this backdrop, this paper investigates the policy actions of two Muslim majority countries—Saudi Arabia and Indonesia—in addressing the growing concerns about jihadi ideology and lax anti-terror regimes. It finds that the two countries (Saudi Arabia and Indonesia)—faced with the threats of international terrorism at home—are increasingly engaged in transnational anti-terrorism programs within bilateral and multilateral frameworks. In conclusion, the paper briefly discusses the theoretical and policy implications of such anti- terrorism cooperation, and stresses the need for sustained policy attention and resource allocation for building a robust counterterrorism regime. Key Words Anti-terrorism, Intelligence & Law enforcement, Security Regime, Transnational Cooperation Introduction Most western security experts suggest that transnational cooperation on anti-terrorism, especially with the predominantly Muslim countries, will significantly help control the violent groups, prone to using jihadi ideology against western targets in general and American targets in particular.1 Security * The author is a Ph.D. Candidate, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh, USA; and Lecturer (on leave), Department of International Relations, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. -
The Ethnomathematics of Chinese Tulou Building Architecture As Geometry Teaching Material in Elementary School

The study uses the qualitative research method to describe the ethnomathematics value of Tulou building in China, and then connect Chinese Tulou building with mathematics. The method of data collection is document's content analysis. The study found that Chinese Tulou contains a wealth of mathematical knowledge, including mathematical knowledge of geometric figures in mathematics, such as circle, triangle, rectangle, square, octagon, cylinder, octaprism, as well as the area and volume of geometric figures. Therefore, in daily teaching life, teachers can use Tulou as teaching materials, which was not only help students understand mathematics knowledge but also improve the enthusiasm of students. Keywords: Chinese Tulou buildings; elementary school; ethnomathematics 1. INTRODUCTION Therefore, mathematics is closely related Many researchers said that to national culture.

Anomie and Violence in Indonesia and Timor-Leste, 1997–2009
Asian Criminology (2011) 6:51–68 DOI 10.1007/s11417-010-9087-2 Anomie and Violence in Indonesia and Timor-Leste, 1997–2009 John Braithwaite Received: 13 March 2010 /Accepted: 10 May 2010 / Published online: 4 June 2010 # Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract The Indonesian social system began to disintegrate in 1997. In the aftermath of social collapse, many forms of state crime, organized crime, terrorism, ethnic violence, religious violence, assassinations and other political violence escalated. An anomie theory interpretation is offered of this rise and the subsequent fall of a complex of serious crime problems. Security sector reintegration, reintegration of perpetrators and reconciliation (without truth) played important parts in enabling the rebuilding of institutions of security. Keywords Indonesia . Timor-Leste . Anomie . Violence . Reconciliation Collapse The Indonesian economy suffered more than any other from the Asian Financial Crisis beginning 1997. Financial collapse was followed by collapse of the political order in 1998, then progressive unraveling of the social order for regulating violence between 1998 and 2001. Amidst horrific violence and the razing of most of the infrastructure of society, Timor Leste seceded from Indonesia as an independent nation in 1999. This essay interprets the violence of the late 1990s and early years of this decade in Indonesia as a product of anomie. Yet it seeks to summarize how that society transcended the sense of normlessness it suffered as the old regime of President Suharto collapsed and a democratic transition began to consolidate. As anomie subsided, so did violence of many kinds. From being the society with the biggest terrorism problem in the world in 2002 (Kivimäki 2007: 50)—a place thereafter lost to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan—it became the first Muslim society with a massive terror problem to get on top of it. -
The Dong Village of Dimen, Guizhou Province, China a Darch Project Submitted to the Graduate D
THE CASE FOR ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION: THE DONG VILLAGE OF DIMEN, GUIZHOU PROVINCE, CHINA A DARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARCHITECTURE MAY 2016 By Wei Xu DArch Committee: Clark Llewellyn William R.Chapman Zhenyu Xie Keywords: Dong village; Dimen; public space; evolution; adaptive Abstract Despite the fact that over 90 % of the Chinese nationals are Han ethnicity, China is considered a multiethnic country. There are many ethnic minority groups living in various parts of China, and their culture blends with and affects the Han culture to create the amazing mixture and diverse Chinese culture. However, this diversity has gradually lost its magic under the influence of rapid economic growth which encourages uniformity and efficiency rather than diversity and traditional identity. As a result, the architectures and languages of many ethnic minorities are gradually assimilated by the mainstream Han culture. Therefore, the research and preservation of ethnic minorities’ settlements have become a crucial topic. As one of the representative ethnic minority, the Dong people and their settlements contain enormous historical, artistic and cultural values. Most importantly, its utilization of space is the foundation of its sustainability and development. As a living heritage, the maintenance of public space is crucial to the development of Dong village since the traditional function of its space makes up a major part of its cultural heritage. However, the younger Dong people’s changing social practices and life-style have resulted in the alteration of their public space.
