THE IMAGE BUILDING OF PUSDIKLAT MIGAS CEPU THROUGH SOCIAL PROGRAMS

As one of the centre of education and training in the oil and gas industry, Pusdiklat Migas Cepu always tries to create mutual relationship between institution and its public. To run this aim, Public Relations division in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu has important role in establishing mutual communication between institution and its public. One of the efforts is by holding social programs in the form of community development. Based on the job training, the objectives of this report are to know the activity of Public Relations in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu and the implementation of social programs done by Pusdiklat Migas Cepu in creating a good image. This final project report is completed through several methods, there are: collecting, analyzing, and concluding the data. The data in this final project report were obtained by holding observation in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu, interviewing the Public Relations staffs in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu, and conducting a library research. Based on the job training for a month in this institution, it can be seen that the activities of Public Relations in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu are very rich. It is because Public Relations Division in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu has to be responsible in communicating information internally and externally. It is aimed to create good relationship with the public either external or internal. Accordance with it, Public Relations in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu try to provide social contribution to the society. The programs can be divided into educational social programs and noneducational social programs. The educational programs are in the form of Community Development by giving training for Cepu citizen in the oil and gas field and providing studying medium for the students of senior high school and university. And, the non-educational programs are in the form of humanitarian help. Most of non-educational programs are done incidentally. In the end of this final project report, the writer concludes that the activities of Public Relations in Pusdiklat Migas Cepu are appropriate with the aim of institution to create a good image. By running social programs, the institution will be able to retain its existence and can get the public trust

Tangible user interfaces : past, present and future directions

In the last two decades, Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have emerged as a new interface type that interlinks the digital and physical worlds. Drawing upon users' knowledge and skills of interaction with the real non-digital world, TUIs show a potential to enhance the way in which people interact with and leverage digital information. However, TUI research is still in its infancy and extensive research is required in or- der to fully understand the implications of tangible user interfaces, to develop technologies that further bridge the digital and the physical, and to guide TUI design with empirical knowledge. This paper examines the existing body of work on Tangible User In- terfaces. We start by sketching the history of tangible user interfaces, examining the intellectual origins of this field. We then present TUIs in a broader context, survey application domains, and review frame- works and taxonomies. We also discuss conceptual foundations of TUIs including perspectives from cognitive sciences, phycology, and philoso- phy. Methods and technologies for designing, building, and evaluating TUIs are also addressed. Finally, we discuss the strengths and limita- tions of TUIs and chart directions for future research

How to find and share community owned solutions

The main aim of this handbook is to promote community owned solutions by proposing approaches that respond to current and future challenges to sustainability, natural resources management and biodiversity conservation. The handbook introduces key concepts and techniques which underpin a participatory and systems approach to community engagement. It helps a community build up practical skills for exploring, recording and disseminating their own community owned solutions

Visualizing practical knowledge: The Haughton-Mars Project

To improve how we envision knowledge, we must improve our ability to see knowledge in everyday life. That is, visualization is concerned not only with displaying facts and theories, but also with finding ways to express and relate tacit understanding. Such knowledge, although often referred to as "common," is not necessarily shared and may be distributed socially in choreographies for working together—in the manner that a chef and a maitre d’hôtel, who obviously possess very different skills, coordinate their work. Furthermore, non-verbal concepts cannot in principle be inventoried. Reifying practical knowledge is not a process of converting the implicit into the explicit, but pointing to what we know, showing its manifestations in our everyday life. To this end, I illustrate the study and reification of practical knowledge by examining the activities of a scientific expedition in the Canadian Arctic—a group of scientists preparing for a mission to Mar

Concluding dialogue

This is a chapter in a book with the overall description: This is a critical time in design. Concepts and practices of design are changing in response to historical developments in the modes of industrial design production and consumption. Indeed, the imperative of more sustainable development requires profound reconsideration of design today. Theoretical foundations and professional definitions are at stake, with consequences for institutions such as museums and universities as well as for future practitioners. This is ‘critical’ on many levels, from the urgent need to address societal and environmental issues to the reflexivity required to think and do design differently

Tribal Corridor Management Planning: Model, Case Study, and Guide for Caltrans District 1, Research Report 10-01

In Northern California, tribal governments and personnel of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 1, have applied innovative context-sensitive solutions to meet a variety of transportation challenges along state highways that traverse tribal lands. This report describes and discusses the efforts under way and offer suggestions for continuing and extending these initiatives through the development of Tribal Corridor Management Plans (TCMPs). The methods employed in this project are multidisciplinary and include: (1) content analysis of existing corridor management plans; (2) literature review to identify “best practices;” (3) participant observation; (4) interviews with local stakeholders; (5) focus group interviews with Caltrans personnel; and (6) landscape analysis. This study’s authors conclude that Caltrans District 1 staff and tribal governments share common goals for highway operations; however, progress —while significant—has been somewhat hampered by geographic and administrative challenges. It is recommended that Caltrans and the tribes seek early and frequent communication and collaboration to overcome these obstacles. Further, they identify several examples of non-standard design elements that could be incorporated into highway improvements to enhance local sense of place among both residents and travelers. A preliminary TCMP for the segment of State Route 96 that lies within the boundaries of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation is presented as an example. Beyond its role as a guide for initiating tribal corridor projects within Caltrans District 1, the report should prove instructive for any efforts to enhance sense of place within transportation byways, particularly in Native communities
