“…The economic livelihood of refugees has been notable in the novelty of entrepreneurship during the 1980s when scholars explored the initiatives of ethnic minorities in the US (Volery, 2007). In the last decade, the research scope has extended to comprise various perspectives such as policymaking (Xenos, 1993;Gibney and Gibney, 2004;Lenner and Turner, 2019), economic development (Betts et al, 2017;Omata, 2017), contribution to the host country (Jacobsen, 2002;Barsky, 2017), social capital and ethnic identity (Hack-Polay et al, 2020) and innovation (Robinson, 2016;McCarthy and Vickers, 2008). Many authors have identified the difference between forced refugees and immigrants in terms of skills, tendency and eagerness (Connor, 2010;Bevelander and Pendakur, 2014;Birman and Trickett, 2001).…”

PurposeGovernments can influence entrepreneurial growth through public policy. This paper aims to present critical aspects of entrepreneurship policy design for Syrian refugees in Turkey and evaluate if current policies are effective for Syrian refugees in Istanbul.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts an explorative phenomenological approach, contextualized within the entrepreneurial behavior literature. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with fifteen Syrian entrepreneurs residing in Istanbul.FindingsThe results show that Syrian refugees were “pushed” to start new companies. Moreover, the findings suggest that Syrian entrepreneurs could exploit better business opportunities such as targeting international markets or finding competent partners.Research limitations/implicationsThe article offers several practical and social contributions by highlighting how the entrepreneurial behavior of Syrian refugees is driven by their migration or business experiences.Practical implicationsPolicymakers in Turkey need to acknowledge how their entrepreneurial policies regarding innovation and internationalization affect the business success rate among Syrian refugees. In this regard, the Turkish government should adopt new measures that provide Syrian refugees more business flexibility. These policies may include easy access to the Turkish financial system or fewer regulations to obtain work permits. This will encourage refugees to join the formal economy and contribute to the Turkish labor market.Originality/valueThis article adds to the expanding body of knowledge on refugee entrepreneurship by emphasizing the link between refugees' personal experiences and starting new ventures. It also highlights how government policy can be strategically utilized to increase entrepreneurship among Syrian refugees in Turkey.

“…Perubahan tersebut akan mendukung pembentukan identitas personal dari generasi digital-natives yang akan diberlakukan oleh mereka dalam kehidupan berelasi dan berkomunal. Kondisi ini akan menjadi tren seiring dengan meningkatnya teknologi interaktif dan cara teknologi tersebut digunakan oleh penutur asli teknologi untuk mengeksplorasi identitas, kemampuan, dan minat mereka (McCarthy &;Vickers, 2008).…”

Komunikasi perlu dibangun antara dosen dan mahasiswa dalam proses pembelajaran di perguruan tinggi. Adanya kesenjangan generasi yang terjadi antara dosen dan mahasiswa pada proses pembelajaran. Dosen menghadapi peserta didik dengan konsep berpikir yang berbeda. Konsep pemikiran mahasiswa dipengaruhi oleh adopsi teknologi sejak mereka masih kecil dan kelompok mahasiwa ini dikenal dengan istilahdigital-native. Kondisiini menghadirkan kesenjagan antara dosen dan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi terkait identitas personaldigital-nativessebagai dasar untuk melakukan komunikasi dalam pembelajaran. Pencarian data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan tinjauan kepustakaan. Peneliti memperhatikan teks pada setiap rekam jejak mulai penggunaan istilahdigital-nativesmenjadi terminology pada tahun 2001 hingga perkembangannya di tahun 2020. Peneliti menghadirkan teori identitas karena indentitas dianggap sebagai produk komunikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa generasidigital-nativesmemiliki pemikiran yang berbeda akibat terpaan teknologi dalam perkembangan hidupnya. D isisi lain, perlunya mengkaji kelompok generasi sesuai dengan kondisi latar belakang geografi atau daerah yang pada kenyataannya memiliki terpaan teknologi yang berbeda-beda. Perlunya kesadaran pengajar bahwa ada identitas baru yang kini hadir di dunia pendidikan perguruan tinggi. Mengenal generasidigital-natives akan membantu dosen untuk mengetahui cara berkomunikasi dengan generasi ini sebagai mahasiswa mereka.

“…First, some base data was acquired from an existing research project, namely UJI SmartCampus Project (http://smart.uji.es), from University Jaume I, Castellón, Spain [70]. Some previous works suggest that there indeed exists a strong overlap of the priority areas and dimensions that define a city [71][72][73] and a campus [74][75][76][77]. The tests were carried out in a university campus, which is a place where thousands of people go about their daily activities, resembling a surrogate small city or city neighbourhood.…”

The idea of virtuality is not new, as research on visualization and simulation dates back to the early use of ink and paper sketches for alternative design comparisons. As technology has advanced so the way of visualizing simulations as well, but the progress is slow due to difficulties in creating workable simulations models and effectively providing them to the users. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, the evolving technologies that have been haunting the tech industry, receiving excessive attention from the media and colossal growing are redefining the way we interact, communicate and work together. From consumer application to manufacturers these technologies are used in different sectors providing huge benefits through several applications. In this work, we demonstrate the potentials of Augmented Reality techniques in a Smart City (Smart Campus) context. A multiplatform mobile app featuring Augmented Reality capabilities connected to GIS services are developed to evaluate different features such as performance, usability, effectiveness and satisfaction of the Augmented Reality technology in the context of a Smart Campus.
