    Previous studies found that when individuals can demonstrate behaviors that contribute to nature preservation, it can be said that he has a high level of Subjective Well-being (SWB). It is because the ecological behavior is categorized as positive action which contributes to the emergence of the positive feelings, such as happiness and satisfaction. Vice versa, individual with good SWB found would be able to show pro-environmental behavior as it could improve the quality of their environment which reciprocally promotes their general life-satisfaction. However, study related to SWB and pro-environmental behavior in Indonesia has never been conducted before. Therefore this study aims to determine the relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB among Jakarta citizen. This study involved two hundred and nineteen Jakarta's people aged 20-40 years old with middle socioeconomic status indicated by incomes, which is greater than expenses and saving ability. The results reflected that there was no significant relationship between pro-environmental behavior and SWB (r = 0.075, Ļ=0268>0.05). This study provides a different insight into how to change urban society's behavior to be more concerned about their environment. Findings from this study will be useful for subsequent research, particularly in assessing other factors associated with pro-environmental behavior, as well as designing appropriate interventions to modify their environmental behavior

    Students, who are working on the thesis, have some difficulties caused by internal and external factors. Those problems can disrupt the completion of their thesis, such as the tendency to do academic procrastination. Increasing achievement motivation can reduce academic procrastination. This study aims to look at the role of achievement motivation (hope of success and fear of failure) in predicting academic procrastination. The study used a quantitative approach by distributing academic procrastination and achievement motivation questionnaires. The study involved 182 students who were working on a thesis as samples, which were obtained by using accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple regressions. It showed that the hope of success and fear of failure have a significant role in predicting academic procrastination (R2 = 13.8%, F = 14,356, p <0.05). The hope of success can decrease academic procrastination, while fear of failure can improve it. Thus, interventions to reduce academic procrastination can be delivered by increasing students hope of success

    Qualitative evaluation of child friendly public places in the Indonesian urban poverty context

    Using a developmental-affordances framework, this thesis investigates child-friendliness of designated child-friendly public places in Jakarta by exploring how children from low-income neighbourhoods use and make meaning of these places to fulfill their psychosocial needs. The children perceived these places as ā€˜the beyond playgroundā€™ where they activated affordances for play, work and rest. Children associated these activities with their competence in forming relationships with friends and adults outside their family, exercising autonomy, and mastering cultural skills. Collaboration between stakeholders supported children to benefit from these places for their psychosocial development; while intergenerational and gender tensions constrained navigation of their play spaces

    Children's Meanings of Third Places for Leisure in Jakarta's Low-Income Neighbourhoods

    In leisure studies, research investigating leisure meanings has focused mainly on the extent to which a particular experience satisfies an individualā€™s need for time away from work or other duties. Yet, little attention is given to how a place can offer leisure meanings for its users. This article investigates ways in which childrenā€™s experiences within two low-income neighbourhoods offer leisure meanings. Combining concepts of play, third places and leisure meanings, this chapter offers a new insight into places where children from the Global South spend their leisure time in their neighbourhood and how they attach meaning to these places. Within the context of a broader research project, play was found to be the predominant theme for childrenā€™s leisure activities, which informs the focus of this chapter on where and how children play within their neighbourhood environments. Thirty-four children from two low-income neighbourhoods in Jakarta were invited to participate in drawing activities and daily conversations to identify third places in which they play and their physical and social characteristics. Childrenā€™s answers and drawings were analysed according to the ā€˜leisure meaningsā€™ they attached to certain places or ways in which these places offer them experiences of passing time, exercising choice, escaping pressure, and achieving fulfilment. Children identified two types of third places valuable for their play: (1) built third places and (2) pop-up third places. The third places are unique to childrenā€™s needs and the circumstances of their leisure pursuits while living in urban poverty; thus, each place has different consequences on the quality of childrenā€™s play. Insights from this study contribute to our understanding of (re)designing child-friendly neighbourhoods in the Global South, which often face challenges in providing inclusive yet affordable leisure facilities for children

    Developmental-affordances - An approach to designing child-friendly environment

    No full text
    A child-friendly environment is a place that provides children with opportunities for their activities, or from the ecological perspective, a rich-affordances environment. However, childrenā€™s environments are often designed by adults who may have an insufficient understanding of childrenā€™s needs, potentially causing a disconnect between affordances provided and those actualised by children. To address this issue, we posit developmental-affordances as an approach to designing a place for children, which integrates the theoretical perspectives of affordances and child development. Affordance theory indicates that an environment affords people with opportunities for action, and emphasises the relative functions of the environment according to the perceiverā€™s capabilities to respond to those opportunities. However, affordances can be more effective for designing a child-friendly place if it is informed by an understanding of the developmental stages. This knowledge will illuminate designers with ideas for environmental features and activities that naturally attract children as the configuration of affordances are actualised to support their development. Moreover, as child development takes place within a specific context, designers should also note the influence of social and physical properties of an environment that might support and thwart childrenā€™s motivation to actualise the potential affordances

    Play, work, and rest: The developmental affordances of designated child-friendly public spaces in Jakarta, Indonesia

    To understand how public spaces might support childrenā€™s development, this study explored the activities and experiences of children (6-12yrs) in two designated child-friendly public spaces (RPTRAs) in low-income neighborhoods in Jakarta, Indonesia. Thirty-four children participated in interviews, drawing activities, observations, and child-led tours. Reflexive thematic analysis identified play, work, and rest as ways in which children use RPTRA sites for activities that afford their sense of competence. This study contributes to the use of a developmental-affordances framework to explore childrenā€™s experiences in public space, which can inform urban design practices that promote the psychosocial development of children from low-income families

    'Forget your gadget, let's play outside!': Traditional play in Jakarta, Indonesia

    No full text
    Using a case study of two designated child-friendly public spaces in Jakarta, this chapter draws on affordance theory to explore how low-tech traditional Indonesian games are intended and actualised as play experiences for children from low-income families. The research used drawing activities, group interviews and observations with thirty-four children aged 6ā€“12 years old, as well as interviews with the onsite managers of the child-friendly public parks with community centres (known as RPTRA sites) and a coordinator of the local youth organisation called Traditional Games Returns (TGR). The TGR organisation encourages Indonesian children to ā€˜forget their gadgetsā€™, and instead play traditional Indonesian games outside. This chapter discusses: (1) the application of social affordances in a non-virtual game; (2) the actual social interactions of the children playing the traditional games, and; (3) suggestions for how childrenā€™s play opportunities can be better facilitated in a low-tech context

    Beyond agree or disagree: A consent story and storytelling for Indonesian children

    Researchers face many ethical challenges when conducting research with children. Ethical issues can be even more significant when researchers work with children from low-income urban settings in the Global South. This chapter presents reflections on research conducted with children aged 6ā€“12 years old who live in Jakarta, Indonesia. Underpinned by the new sociology of childhood, the study was designed to gather these childrenā€™s perspectives on child-friendly public spaces in their neighbourhoods. A range of qualitative methods were used including child-led tours, drawings, observations and interviews. As part of the study, the authors developed and reflected on the use of story and storytelling to deliver the research information and obtain the childrenā€™s consent to participate. The authorsā€™ experience demonstrates that story and storytelling supported childrenā€™s competence and engaged them in a meaningful informed consent process. This approach is especially relevant for children with low literacy skills and whose parents or caregivers may not be available to help children decide on their participation in research. The chapter concludes with recommendations for effectively approaching this ethical challenge in future social research with children from similar backgrounds.<br/
