Abstract

This theoretical study focuses on developing new understandings of changing patterns of community interaction, social behaviour, and conflicts of interest. This topic is important to study because changes in social interaction and conflicts of interest can have a significant impact on the structure and functioning of society. The methods used in this study include in-depth literature analysis by analyzing various relevant sources and theories. This research also provides observation and interpretation of social phenomena that develop in digital society. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of how patterns of social interaction and conflicts of interest develop and change over time, as well as their impact on society. This knowledge is important to assist policymakers and practitioners in understanding and responding effectively to these changes.Keywords: changes in community interaction patterns, social behavior, conflicts of interest, theoretical studies, literature analysis.

Abstract

Covid-19 became a global pandemic in 2020 and has multiple impacts on the economy, social, culture, food systems, and also the environment, especially on tropical forest cover in small island. This study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the forest cover of small populated islands. Using remote sensing and geographic information system technology based on high-resolution satellite imagery from google earth imagery, land cover was observed in 2018, 2020, and 2023. This study found that during the 2020 pandemic, tropical forest cover on small populated islands has decreased. Mansinam's forest cover decreased by 4.3%, bare land increased by 80.6%, agricultural land increased by 75.3%, and shrubs increased by 54.9%. Another important finding is that 78.9% of the total deforestation was due to forest conversion to bare land and agricultural land. Land and forest utilization on small islands will increase when accessibility is limited, especially during the pandemic. Future studies will be on the structure and composition of species in locations that experienced deforestation during the pandemic and detailed studies related to changes in the occupations of Mansinam people due to the pandemic that have a relationship with forests.

Abstract

Teacher professional development is widely recognized as a key driver of instructional innovation, particularly in geographically remote and under-resourced educational settings. However, limited evidence is available regarding how teachers perceive instructional innovations following professional development experiences in such contexts. This study aimed to examine teachers’ perceptions of the GASING (Gampang, Asyik, dan Menyenangkan) method and explore the relationships among key perception dimensions associated with instructional innovation in a remote educational setting. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 22 elementary and junior high school teachers in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua, Indonesia, who had participated in GASING training. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering six dimensions: cognitive understanding, affective response, pragmatic value, contextual feasibility, interest and engagement, and behavioral intention. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The results revealed consistently positive perceptions across all dimensions, with mean scores ranging from 4.00 to 4.77 on a five-point scale. Teachers demonstrated strong cognitive understanding, positive affective responses, and high perceived practical value of the GASING method. Chi-square analysis showed that most dimensions were statistically independent, although a marginal association was found between contextual feasibility and behavioral intention (χ² = 3.009; p = 0.083). These findings suggest that positive teacher perceptions alone may not ensure sustained instructional change in remote contexts.
