Abstract

Cultural tourism development plays an important role in maintaining destination sustainability amid the dominance of modern entertainment tourism. Chin Swee Caves Temple in the Genting Highlands, Malaysia, represents a cultural and spiritual tourism destination characterized by distinctive architectural, historical, and religious values and has potential as a contextual learning resource. Previous studies on Genting Highlands have largely focused on entertainment tourism and economic development, while limited attention has been given to the integration of cultural tourism, spatial analysis, and educational functions. This study aims to analyze cultural tourism potential, identify GIS-based cultural tourism zoning, and formulate development strategies using SWOT analysis integrated with the educational role of the site. The research employed a mixed-method approach combining field observations, interviews, and documentation with spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Internal and external factors influencing tourism development were evaluated using IFAS and EFAS matrices. The findings show that Chin Swee Caves Temple is positioned in Quadrant I, indicating a growth-oriented strategy supported by strong internal factors and favorable external opportunities. Key strengths include accessibility, environmental comfort, strategic location, and the aesthetic and spiritual value of traditional Chinese architecture, while the main challenges relate to limited cultural interpretation, visitor safety management, local community involvement, and competition with modern tourism attractions. The novelty of this study lies in integrating GIS-based spatial zoning with SWOT strategic analysis to support cultural tourism development while positioning the site as a contextual learning resource for geography and social studies education.

Abstract

This study examines the position and strategic status of Geography as a secondary school subject in Indonesia and Malaysia, focusing on its compulsory or elective placement, curriculum depth, and contribution to students’ geopolitical understanding. The research aims to highlight the novelty of subject positioning analysis rather than pedagogy alone, addressing how curricular structures shape geopolitical literacy outcomes. Employing a qualitative descriptive comparative design, the study integrates curriculum document analysis, semi-structured stakeholder interviews, and SWOT analysis to identify similarities, differences, strengths, and challenges in both education systems. Data sources include Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum and Malaysia’s Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah (KSSM), supported by relevant literature and educator perspectives. Key findings show that Geography holds a strategic role in both countries by fostering spatial and geospatial literacy, regional awareness, and understanding of national and global issues, yet its positioning differs: Indonesia emphasizes Geography within social science specialization with stronger geopolitical orientation, while Malaysia introduces it at lower secondary but shifts it to an elective subject at upper secondary with broader environmental and development themes. The study implies that strengthening Geography’s geopolitical contribution requires clearer curriculum integration, sustained subject continuity, enhanced teacher professional development, and wider use of geospatial technologies to better equip students for contemporary geopolitical challenges.

Abstract

This study investigates how the primary education curricula of Indonesia and Malaysia—Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka and Malaysia’s Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR)—compare in terms of curriculum relevance, depth of learning, and alignment between objectives, pedagogy, and assessment. Primary education plays a crucial role in developing foundational competencies and shaping long-term educational outcomes, making curriculum reform a central policy priority in Southeast Asia. Using a qualitative comparative research design, the study relies exclusively on Observation, interviews, and document analysis to ensure methodological consistency. Data were drawn from official curriculum frameworks, national education policy documents, and relevant scholarly literature from both countries. The analysis examined curriculum structure, content organization, pedagogical orientation, and assessment systems to identify key similarities and differences. The findings indicate that Kurikulum Merdeka emphasizes instructional flexibility, learner-centered and interdisciplinary learning, and character education, whereas KSSR prioritizes structured progression, mastery of foundational skills, early STEM integration, and national standardization. These contrasting approaches reflect differing governance models and national priorities in balancing innovation with accountability. This study contributes to comparative curriculum research by offering a novel cross-national perspective on two major Southeast Asian curriculum reforms and highlighting the importance of contextual alignment, teacher capacity, and balanced implementation strategies for improving primary education quality and relevance.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate two main aspects in Padang Gelugur Subdistrict, Pasaman Regency: first, the change in paddy field area into fish ponds from 2017 to 2022; second, to analyze the factors influencing this land conversion. The research method used is a mixed methods approach, which integrates quantitative and qualitative data to answer research questions related to behavior, social, and health aspects. The research results indicate that during the period from 2017 to 2022, approximately 144 hectares of paddy fields were converted into fish ponds. The main factors driving the community to undertake this land conversion include the significant income difference between paddy harvests and fish ponds, with income from fish ponds tending to be higher. Additionally, educational factors and weather conditions also play a significant role, particularly as Padang Gelugur Subdistrict frequently experiences high rainfall intensity, which can lead to flooding and crop failure.

Abstract

Land-use conversion from forests to oil palm plantations in Tualang District, Siak Regency, has intensified environmental and settlement pressures, requiring systematic evaluation. This study aims to analyse the spatial dynamics of forest conversion, assess environmental and settlement impacts, and formulate sustainable management strategies. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating spatial analysis of Landsat and Sentinel imagery, field surveys, observations, and in-depth interviews. Spatial change analysis and SWOT analysis were applied to interpret land-use dynamics and management options. The results indicate that from 2015 to 2025, oil palm expansion increased markedly, with forest and peatland conversion accounting for more than one-quarter of the total area. These changes led to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, increased runoff, water contamination, and reduced community access to natural resources. The proposed strategies emphasize conserving ecological buffers, strengthening community monitoring capacity, enforcing land-use regulations, and promoting sustainable plantation practices. Overall, integrated spatial planning and community participation are essential to ensure environmentally sustainable oil palm development.

Abstract

In Malaysia, flash floods or major floods often occur in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, flooding is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the volume of water flowing in rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water overflows onto land. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of flood vulnerability and determine flood mitigation strategies. This research is descriptive quantitative, which describes the phenomenon of flood disasters through mapping results. To produce a map of flood-prone areas, mapping was carried out using ArcGIS with a scoring method to see flood hazard vulnerability. The results of the flood vulnerability mapping study in Kuala Lumpur show critical conditions with almost 90% of the total area of 27.195.47 hectares categorized as vulnerable to very vulnerable to flooding. Analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method identified three priority mitigation strategies, namely Regulation (57.7%) as the highest priority which includes policy enforcement and implementation of MSMA, followed by Education (25.8%) to increase public awareness and preparedness, and Conservation (16.5%) through ecological rehabilitation and green infrastructure. The integration of these three strategies is necessary to create a comprehensive and sustainable flood mitigation framework, taking into account the high urbanization and climate change that continue to increase flood risks in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.
