Having served as the center of Islamic preaching in the early-twentieth-century Java, the Kauman village of Yogyakarta preserves its brand as an Islamic village. It was where the first Indonesia's Islamic movement, the Muhammadiyah (1912), and its female wing, the 'Aisyiyah (1922), were founded, developing into national and even international levels, and surviving until today. This paper investigates the use of the Islamic gender ideology in maintaining the Kauman's branding as an Islamic village, and how women have been involved as members of the Islamic organizations and the community and participate themselves in the attempt to maintain the village's image as an Islamic village. The research finds that the hijab practice is central to the placebranding. It shows that the prevailing Islamic definition of gender differences is constructed, distributed, and imposed through the 'Aisyiyah's recommendation of the hijab (the Islamic veiling) throughout the community in support of the place-branding.
This research is motivated by the unachieved Vocational High School policy that allows its students to continue their studies to tertiary institutions, which is 20%. The factors obtained at the time of the interview were the students who were still confused in determining their career decisions after graduating from school related to self-belief or efficacy, beside the financial problems related to family factors.

Data was withdrawn from an online survey to students of one of the best vocational high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. The quantitative data was analyzed using by program of SPSS version. 25 for windows. This research reveals that 1) self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on students' interest in continuing education to higher education, 2) family's social status has a positive and significant effect on students' interest in continuing education to higher education 3) selfefficacy and family's social status together contributed to the variable of interest to continue their studies to higher education by 38.7%. The remaining is explained by other variables.
The visual beauty of entertainment actors is the main attraction for Korean popular culture products, especially beauty trends. Korean wave through beauty products offers a new discourse that beauty is not only absolute for the female but also represented through the male body. This is interesting to research because the preference for consumption patterns of aesthetic culture among Korean fans is not only for women, male fans are also objects of the Korean beauty product market. Interviews were conducted with Korean fans in Bandung, who are members of the Hansamo community and members of the cover dance by face-to-face.

Korean Wave succeeded in utilizing the desire of Korean fans to consume Korean beauty products to fulfill their prestige in achieving the perfect face, fashion (style), and appearance like their idol.
Construction workers in Indonesia have unique characteristics. They earn their vocational skills through cultural inheritance. Construction workers in many construction projects in urban areas mostly come from villages in Java. They learn their vocational skills from their relatives and local communities in their villages. This paper aims at describing how vocational skills are passed down through generations. This qualitative ethnographic and ethnoandragogic study explores the training process, beginning with the recruitment pattern, the network development, skills acquisition and transmission pattern, responses to technology, and attitudes to challenges in modern industry. Through observation and in-depth interview, it was revealed that traditionally the training pattern applied andragogic model principles; i.e., learning by doing and learning on the job. This study provides a base for further research and the development and improvement of vocational education and training model in response to the particular characteristics of construction workers in Indonesia.
