Village tourism is one of the alternative forms of sustainable tourism that began to be developed in Bali. Bongkasa Pertiwi tourism village is one of the villages designated as a tourist village with a variety of natural potential. The purpose of this research is to analyze the strategy and development program of the Bongkasa Pertiwi Tourism Village, and to analyze the factors that play a role in the sustainability of the Bongkasa Pertiwi Tourism Village. The main data collection technique in this study is through FGD, the results of which are input to the SWOT and MICMAC analysis. The results of the SWOT analysis show that Bongkasa Pertiwi Tourism Village has strong category competitiveness, and high category attractiveness as a tourist village, so the strategic position of the development of the Kenderan tourism village is in the condition of growth and build. The three main factors in the sustainability of a tourist village are the uniqueness of the tourist village, the competence of human resources, and the presence of a driving force that has a link with stakeholders.

The paper studies the monetary approach to exchange rate for a group of five Pacific Basin economies, using quarterly data for the period of post – Asian financial crisis. Estimated results reveal that for Thailand and the Indonesia which were most affected by Asian financial crisis, monetary model did not work for explaining exchange rate movements. For Korea and Malaysia, the results show that there were long-run relationships between exchange rates and their monetary variables. However, the proportionality hypothesis of exchange rate to relative money supply did not hold for the two countries. Conversely, for Vietnam, it appears that the monetary model worked well in explaining exchange rate movements. Especially, the estimated coefficients of money and output variables are consistent with any traditional variants of monetary model.

Caring for cancer patients may create several negative emotions for their family members. Therefore, reducing or alleviating negative feelings are essential in improving mental and physical health of cancer patients’ family members. This research aims to identify the priority levels of the strategies used by cancer patients’ family members to cope with negative emotions, utilizing Analytic Hierarchy. Next, the proposed model is applied in the cases of Vietnamese cancer patients’ family members. Four groups of coping strategies against negative emotions of cancer patients’ family members are used in the model, including: (1) positive emotion-focused coping strategies; (2) negative emotion-focused coping strategies; (3) positive action-focused coping strategies; (4) negative action-focused coping strategies.

Distribution centers selection is a vital task of any company to reduce costs, improve efficiency of transport flows, which yields customer satisfaction. To select the suitable distribution centers, many quantitative and qualitative criteria must be considered in the selection process. Therefore, distribution centers selection can be seen as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem under vague environment. Single-valued complex neutrosophic sets (SVCNSs), which is generalized of fuzzy sets, complex fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets; can better represent the vague information than the other sets. This paper aims to propose a new the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach based on SVCNSs to select the locations of distribution center. In the proposed TOPSIS approach, the importance weights of criteria, the ratings of alternatives, and their aggregated values are assessed and evaluated using SVCNSs. Then, this paper defines the operational rules of SVCNSs and calculates the aggregated weighted ratings of alternatives. Furthermore, the score, accuracy and certainty function are developed to rank the alternatives. Last, an application to the distribution center location selection is presented to show the advantages of the proposed approach.
