“…The number of participatory urban design projects has increased in underserved communities in recent years, in part to address problems associated with environmental justice [24]. Urban design, in essence, is a problem-solving venture, which makes it well suited to a service-learning or problem-based learning approach [25] In academic settings, service-learning is an alternative teaching model that goes beyond traditional lecture-based teaching to include learning through engagement with community groups to provide students with engaged projects [26][27][28]. Due to the high costs involved with typical urban design projects, marginalized communities can work with university faculty and students to develop conceptual designs that address neighborhood problems and reduce the costs associated with the development of the initial designs [29,30].…”

Communities adjacent to concentrated areas of industrial land use (CAILU) are exposed to elevated levels of pollutants during flood disasters. Many CAILU are also characterized by insufficient infrastructure, poor environmental quality, and socially vulnerable populations. Manchester, TX is a marginalized CAILU neighborhood proximate to several petrochemical industrial sites that is prone to frequent flooding. Pollutants from stormwater runoff discharge from industrial land uses into residential areas have created increased toxicant exposures. Working with local organizations, centers/institutes, stakeholders, and residents, public health researchers sampled air, water, indoor dust, and outdoor soil while researchers from landscape architecture and urban planning applied these findings to develop a community-scaled master plan. The plan utilizes land use and built environment changes to increase flood resiliency and decrease exposure to contaminants. Using a combination of models to assess the performance, costs, and benefits of green infrastructure and pollutant load impacts, the master plan is projected to capture 147,456 cubic feet of runoff, and create $331,400 of annual green benefits by reducing air pollution and energy use, providing pollution treatment, increase carbon dioxide sequestration, and improve groundwater replenishment. Simultaneously, there is a 41% decrease across all analyzed pollutants, reducing exposure to and transferal of toxic materials.

“…Pembelajaran ini dapat mengimbangi berbagai kekurangan dalam sistem pedagogi di bangku perkuliahan (Markus, Howard, & King, 1993). Dalam hal instansi perguruan tinggi dan universitas, Tai-Seale (2001) dan Cameron, Forsyth, Green, Lu, McGirr, Owens & Stoltz (2001) mengusulkan panduan untuk pengadopsian pembelajaran dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dalam berbagai disiplin dan konteks akademis. Selama beberapa dasawarsa terakhir, sistem ini terbukti berdampak besar pada perkembangan sosial dan emosional masiswa (Eyler & Giles, 1999); dan menunjukkan bahwa proses belajar-mengajar dan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat mampu meningkatkan pencapaian tujuan kurikuler (Astin & Sax, 1998).…”

Dengan menjamurnya media sosial dan maraknya beredar berita palsu (hoax) di masyarakat, penting diadakan upaya untuk membekali generasi muda dengan pembekalan literasi media dan komunikasi. Oleh karena itu, pada tanggal 23 April 2019, Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi, Swiss German University mengadakan loka karya bertema “Spread Your Wings And Prepare Yourself to Compete in the Globalised World” di Syafana Islamic High School, BSD, Tangerang Selatan. Kegiatan ini merupakan bagian dari mata kuliah Project Management and Leadership. Selain pembekalan literasi media, loka karya ini juga memberi pembekalan ilmu Public Relations, kepribadian, dan proses melamar pekerjaan kepada siswa-siswi Syafana. Di samping presentasi oleh dosen dan alumni, peserta juga melakukan praktek teknik wawancara jurnalistik dan wawancara pekerjaan. Kegiatan ini tidak hanya berdampak positif bagi peserta, tetapi juga bagi mahasiswa yang mengkoordiinasi program ini karena saat melakukan kegiatan pelayanan kepada masyarakat, mahasiswa juga mengembangkan keterampilan seperti: Kepemimpinan; Penyelesaian masalah; Kerja kelompok; Manajemen waktu; dan, Komunikasi, yang sangat berguna di dunia nyata.

“…Generally studios are seen to be an effective way to learn to deal with situations of uncertainty and complexity which planners face in real life (Coiacetto, 2008). In this context they are one way of simulating or replicating a professional environment (Cameron, et al, 2001). Higgins et al (2009) and Duggan (2004) have discussed issues relating to traditional studio based courses suggesting that each institution needs to develop its own creative response to their own situation.…”

This article shares good practice lessons relating to the running of an immersion studio designed to introduce planning students to working with an indigenous Māori community in New Zealand. The indigenous tribes of Aotearoa New Zealand are collectively known as Māori and represent the indigenous inhabitants who occupied New Zealand for hundreds of years before European contact (Fleras & Spoonley, 1999). In 1840, Māori chiefs and representatives of the British Crown signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Treaty of Waitangi which are the foundational documents of Aotearoa New Zealand. These treaties set out rights, obligations and responsibilities between Māori and the Crown that, in part, have been incorporated into New Zealand's statutory planning framework.
