Abstract

The alignment of geography concepts in disaster education is an important strategy to build an Ambon City that has high preparedness in facing disaster risks. The integration of geography concepts enables a deeper understanding of geographical factors that influence risk, such as location and topography. This research uses a descriptive Qualitative Method by conducting a literature study. The results show that through disaster education that incorporates aspects of geography, communities can plan appropriate mitigation actions and design disaster-resistant infrastructure. Cross-sector collaboration between the government, private sector, community organizations, and educational institutions is the foundation in dealing with disaster risks in a holistic way. This integrated disaster education builds high awareness of risks and the environment, provides mental and physical preparedness in the face of crisis, and forms a solid foundation for a safer and more resilient future. In the face of disaster threats, integrating geography in disaster education is an important milestone in making Ambon City a city that is ready and resilient in the face of various natural challenges and crises.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of marine tourism objects in the South Leitimur District, Ambon City. Knowledge of this spatial distribution is essential in developing sustainable regional marine tourism. Spatial mapping methods and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis are used to identify and map locations and distribution of marine tourism objects. The study results show five tourist objects in South Leitimur District: Namasua Beach, Nanseri Beach, Hukurila Beach, Batu Lubang Lima Beach, and Lawena Beach. The benefit of this research is to provide critical information for decision-making in developing marine tourism. The government and tourism actors can use the results of this mapping to plan tourism infrastructure development, allocate resources more efficiently, and design more effective marketing strategies. In addition, this research also provides an understanding of the need for sustainable natural resource management to maintain the sustainability of existing marine tourism objects.

Abstract

Current educational challenges lie not only in academic aspects but also in character development, particularly in student discipline and environmental-social awareness. This study aims to analyze the role of geography teachers in improving student discipline and awareness at SMPN 10 Kayu Putih. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, documentation, and field notes. The findings reveal that geography teachers play a vital role in shaping student behavior through contextual learning and direct experiences integrated with values of natural and social order. These integrated values encourage students to internalize discipline as a necessity, not a mere obligation. This research highlights the broader dimension of geography learning in character formation. The implication is that teachers need to be empowered through contextual and reflective training.

Abstract

This study originates from the rapid growth of modern retail in rural areas, affecting the sustainability of small kiosks in Piru Village, West Seram District, West Seram Regency. The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of minimarket presence on kiosk income and identify local traders’ adaptation strategies. Using a quantitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 12 kiosks and 40 consumers, the results indicate a 61.9% decline in kiosk income and a shift in consumer behavior toward weekly shopping at minimarkets. Traders adapt by diversifying products and extending operational hours, though with limited effect. The study highlights the importance of local economic protection through partnerships between small enterprises and modern retail. Local governments are encouraged to establish fair retail zoning and community-based market integration to sustain socio-economic balance.

Abstract

Market sanitation is a crucial aspect of public health and urban community welfare. The Mardika Market in Ambon City faces major challenges in hygiene management due to limited facilities, low hygienic awareness, and weak institutional coordination. This study aims to analyze the market’s sanitation conditions, identify inhibiting factors, and formulate optimization strategies based on community participation and local public policy. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation with traders, visitors, and market managers. Findings show that only 46% of sanitation facilities function properly, 62% of drainage systems are blocked, and only 36% of traders regularly maintain cleanliness. Community-based and institutional strengthening strategies were effective in improving sanitation management. Integrating Maluku’s socio-cultural values such as mutual cooperation becomes essential for building a sustainable sanitation system. This study enhances understanding of eco-social public policy.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of digital learning media in improving the quality of geography learning through a comprehensive review of related issues. Digital learning media has brought significant changes in education, particularly in the context of geography, by providing interactive, visualization and personalization tools that enrich students' learning experience. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The type of research used is a literature study which is research that has been done before by collecting journal books, magazines, and scientific papers that are interrelated with the problems and research objectives. The results of the review show that the utilization of digital learning media can strengthen the understanding of geography concepts, encourage more active student involvement, and assist in the development of problem-solving skills. However, challenges such as technology accessibility and teacher training still need to be addressed. Thus, this study concludes that the use of digital learning media has great potential in advancing geography education, but needs to be accompanied by appropriate strategies and support to optimize its benefits in improving the quality of geography learning in the future

Abstract

Buru Island is the endemic habitat of the Babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa), facing pressures from human activities and habitat fragmentation. This study used the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling method to map the spatial distribution and assess the habitat suitability of Babirusa based on environmental variables including elevation, slope, temperature, land cover, distance to water, and distance from built-up areas. The results show that the habitat is divided into four main classes: Very Low at 24.95%, Low at 31.67%, Moderate at 29.71%, and High at 13.68% of the total island area, which requires more intensive management and protection. Elevation and distance from settlements have an influence but with relatively small contributions, indicating the species’ tolerance to elevation variation. This model provides a scientific basis for integrated conservation strategies, including habitat management, reduction of anthropogenic pressures, and sustainable spatial planning based on habitat suitability to ensure the long-term survival of Babirusa on Buru Island.
