Abstract

This study aims to determine students' perceptions of environmental sustainability at the High School level. This research takes a case study at Adiwiyata School in a disaster-prone area of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia, that applied the concept of sustainability in the learning curriculum. The data was collected by using Middle School Environmental Literacy Survey (MSELS) instruments. These instruments are related to knowledge, concern, and attitude domains for analyzing high school students' perceptions. Data was collected by giving questionnaires to gather information about how students define sustainability. Data analysis was performed with a statistical percentage of questionnaire answers and open-ended questions about the knowledge of students' environmental issues and sustainability from a global perspective. The results showed that the most known environmental issues by students were environmental issues related to the effects of greenhouse gases and the effects of climate change. Based on the results of the study found that as many as 73% of students said they had heard the issue and could not explain it. The level of environmental concern of students within environmental issues is quite good. Students choose the form of environmental sustainability in terms of saving energy, recycling, and developing renewable energy sources.

Abstract

This research examines how the ecotourism expansion in Fiji affects biodiversity conservation and Indigenous cultural heritage. The growth of ecotourism has led to major changes in the tourism sector. It significantly impacts the country's biodiversity conservation and indigenous cultural heritage. This research used a literature review approach, collecting and analyzing secondary data from various relevant sources at each stage of the research. The findings reveal a complex interconnection between economic interests and cultural dynamics, shaping Fiji's ecotourism practices and management. While ecotourism initiatives have emphasized preserving the natural environment and the promotion of indigenous cultural heritage, concern has emerged regarding the negative impacts on the fragile ecosystem and the exploitation of cultural resources for commercial gain. This research provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with ecotourism expansion in Fiji, ensuring sustainable development and the protection of biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Abstract

Pashchim Champaran, a district situated in the state of Bihar, India, is the largest district in the state, spanning an area of 5,228 km2 and belonging to the Tirhut Division. The administrative center of the district is located in Bettiah. As a flood-prone region within the state of Bihar, Pashchim Champaran frequently experiences flooding due to its proximity to major rivers and the unique geographical characteristics of the area. This research employs a Geographic Information System-based overlay and scoring methodology to assess the flood vulnerability of Pashchim Champaran. Parameters such as slope, elevation, soil type, rainfall, land cover, and river density are assigned scores and weights based on their respective classifications. These weighted scores are then overlaid using ArcGIS to generate a flood vulnerability map. The findings reveal that approximately 63% of the region is classified as having high or very high vulnerability to flooding, indicating the urgent necessity for comprehensive flood mitigation strategies in the area. The resulting map categorizes the region into varying vulnerability levels, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in disaster preparedness and resource allocation for flood risk reduction in Pashchim Champaran.
