    SOCIO-CULTURAL EFFECTS AND MEANINGS OF SMALL- SCALE FESTIVALS: PESTA PINJI Master Thesis Estefanya Gordillo SOCIO-CULTURAL EFFECTS AND MEANINGS OF SMALL- SCALE FESTIVALS: PESTA PINJI MASTER THESIS Msc. Leisure Tourism and Environment Estefanya Gordillo Loyola Reg. Number 870918270040 Thesis Supervisor Dr. Meghann Ormond (Cultural Geography Group) Examiner Dr. Rene van der Duim (Cultural Geography Group) Wageningen University Research center Master of Leisure Tourism and Environment st 31 of August, 2015 SUMMARY The participation of communities in a festival is more and more common bringing economic, political, social, cultural and environmental effect on the community. While some communities are looking forward getting economic resources from an event, some others are looking for political and cultural recognition from the rest of their society. Different studies have shown the socio-cultural effects of events, as festivals, related to enhancing cultural pride, community participation and communication, awareness of the culture, new knowledge for the community, between many others. In general, the aim of community festivals is to celebrate the culture of the community; thus social and cultural benefits are achieved in the process of staging the event. One cultural element of a community is food, between many others. Food is understood as belonging to foodways which means the integration of culinary smells, ingredients, sights, and landscapes, sounds, eating practices, and farming traditions of people or a region (Timonthy & Ron, 2013; van Westering, 1999). For that reason by acknowledging food, tradition and living traditions are recognized the symbolism and social differences between cultures. This cultural element is applicable to events, and it has been used in forms of food festivals.

Beyond the tragic loss of human life, the multidimensional crisis will likely inflict a tremendous human cost in many other ways, like increasing poverty, long-term debt and inequality as well as unemployment, and affecting even more those who are already vulnerable. Recent estimates by the Asian Development Bank suggest that job losses in Asia could go up to 68 Million. Initially, both white-collar, but especially blue-collar workers, have been affected by the pandemic to an unimaginable degree. They have had to cope with a lack of protection at work, concerns inadequate childcare or worries about their immigration status. But the divide between white collars workers, who could work from home and blue-collar workers, who still are exposed to health risks outside, became obvious in recent months.

With the collapse of the world tin industry in the early 1980s, Perak saw a turn of fortune.

    E-dagang bantu peniaga kecil Selangor terjejas ketika Covid-19 SelangorKini.my 15 Mei 2020 by Norrasyidah Arshad SHAH ALAM, 15 MEI: Peniaga kecil tidak mengharapkan bantuan modal semata- mata sebaliknya mereka turut memerlukan platform berniaga untuk terus maju ketika penularan Covid-19, kata Dato’ Menteri Besar. Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari berkata susulan itu Kerajaan Selangor akan terus menyediakan peluang perniagaan e-dagang dengan lebih meluas selain bantuan modal dan ilmu perniagaan ketika musim Covid-19 dan selepas wabak. “Saya percaya peniaga bukan hanya berdepan masalah wang untuk menampung mereka namun paling penting adalah bagaimana mahu sediakan ruangan baharu untuk mereka,” kata beliau ketika menjadi panel Wacana Post Covid-19 menerusi siaran langsung Facebook malam tadi. Turut sama dalam program kendalian Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Pasir Pinji di Perak iaitu Howard Lee Chuan How ialah Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Chow Kon Yeow dan Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir. Amirudin berkata, keperluan aspek itu dapat dilihat menerusi pelaksanaan program e- Bazar Raya Selangor dengan kerjasama pengendali e-dagang terkemuka, Shopee apabila sasaran 2,000 peserta tercapai hanya dalam beberapa hari. “Jadi sekarang bukan hanya isu modal tetapi bagaimana untuk ubah peniaga daripada mengendalikan jualan langsung ke dalam talian. E-dagang platform yang besar dan akan bantu ekonomi Kerajaan Negeri,” katanya. Bulan lalu Kerajaan Negeri dengan kerjasama Shopee mengumumkan program e- Bazar Raya Selangor dengan menawarkan peluang perniagaan kepada usahawan perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS) serta perniagaan mikro memasarkan produk secara dalam talian. Usaha itu bagi membantu mereka menjana pendapatan ketika musim perayaan ekoran terjejas akibat Covid-19. © Copyright 2019 - Developed for the People of Selangor Source: https://selangorkini.my/2020/05/e-dagang-bantu-peniaga-kecil-selangor- terjejas-ketika-covid-19/ .
