“…The style of government which does not provide any communication space (dialogue and negotiation) to the community can be classified as structural violence and injustice. According to Galtung, structural violence is defined as an injury that is not immediately attributable to an acting subject but is "built into the structure" and manifests itself as inequality of power, resources, and life opportunities (Dilts et al, 2012). Structural violence creates a sense of insecurity, thus encouraging people to oppose the government, such as demonstrations, and so on.…”

Many studies related to the policy of street vendors relocation in various cities in Indonesia, even in the world. However, there is still limited research examining the cultural variability of government and street vendors. Culture is not the only variable which can influence the behaviour of street vendors in responding the policies, but omnipresent cultural existence becomes a major factor in communication of government policies. The research was carried out in a qualitative explanatorywith the main focus on the implementation of street vendor policy relocation in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with the actors or communicators in the communication of relocation policies to street vendors. The success or failure of the public policy implementation has many determinants. In a system perspective, a policy is in the frame of the environment which requires the integration of all elements which can influence it. This research has found that culture is the main determinant whichcan be one of the determinants of successful communication, creating compliance, forming positive opinions, conformity, and building consensus on the policy of street vendors relocation in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia.

“…This multi-layered framework acts as a blueprint for understanding health inequities as a form of structural violence. A term coined by Johan Galtung (1969) and developed further by Paul Farmer (2004) , structural violence refers to systematic forms of oppression “built into structures, institutions, ideologies and histories” ( Dilts et al, 2012 , p. 91). Violence, here, refers to the more “invisible, indirect and insidious” forms of harm caused by systemic poverty, power asymmetries and neglect, which ultimately lead to reduced life chances for many of the world's poor ( Hamed et al, 2020 , p. 1663).…”

“…Although the approach of this study is on personal violence, explicit elements are provided to the reader on gender and the historic participation of the Mexican state in the public university to extend the discussion to structural and cultural violence in a country with a large economy but with sharp unequal income distribution (Confortini, 2006 ;Vorobej, 2008 ;Dilts, 2012). The types of violence are defined according to Galtung (1969) and INEGI (2013, pp.…”

Violence against university students and among them is analyzed on campus and the household as well as the relationships of violence between these two social spaces. The study was undertaken through an anonymous random survey in the two larger public universities in a Mexican medium-sized city. Overall violence and types of violence-verbal, psychological, sexual, and physical-were evaluated by sex and by universities; and the aggressors were identified. A students' concept of violence was built, considering causes of intimate-partner violence, violence in general and ethical judgment on gender violence. Finally, it was measured the relationships between violence on campus and in the household using bivariate statistical analysis. Findings indicate the main aggressors on campus are classmates and professors, whereas in the household are the mother, relatives together with the parents and relatives without the parents. On-campus, there were found statistically significant associations between professors-aggressors and students as victims of violence by sex. In the household, the bivariate analysis confirmed mothers as single aggressors and fathers exerting violence together with relatives against student-children; and direct relationships between on-campus (psychological and sexual violence) and domestic (physical and sexual violence).
