Abstract

Teaching Indonesia’s geographical conditions in schools often faces challenges because flat maps are insufficient to represent topographic variations realistically. As a result, junior high school social studies teachers (SMP/MTs) struggle to explain differences between highlands, lowlands, and water bodies, making it difficult for students to fully understand. To address this issue, a training program on making embossed maps was carried out for members of the Social Studies Teachers’ Association (MGMP) in Padang City. The focus was not on students directly, but on enhancing teachers’ competencies so they can design and apply innovative learning media in the classroom. Embossed maps were created through several steps: (1) drawing a map sketch on plywood, (2) layering newspaper pulp to follow the topographic contours, (3) drying the map under sunlight, (4) coloring according to elevation, and (5) preparing a legend that reflects relevant geographic elements. The training demonstrated high enthusiasm among participants, who successfully produced embossed maps as effective visual media. Thus, embossed maps should be strongly advocated as practical, innovative, and applicable tools to support effective geography teaching and learning in social studies.

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) identify the forms of community participation in maintaining cleanliness during Car Free Day (CFD) activities in Padang City, 2) analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors of community participation in maintaining cleanliness during CFD activities in Padang City, and 3) provide recommendations and strategies for CFD cleanliness management based on the level of community participation. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The results indicate that community participation is categorized as fairly good, characterized by individual awareness to dispose of waste in the provided bins. However, collective participation, such as mutual cooperation, is still low. Supporting factors include high public awareness and knowledge of the importance of comfort when exercising and the initiative of traders in managing waste, while inhibiting factors include the behaviour of visitors who litter, lack of facilities, minimal socialisation, and limited supervision. This study recommends improving sanitation facilities, environmental campaigns, community empowerment, cross-sector coordination, the implementation of sanctions and rewards, and the use of digital innovations to strengthen community participation. These strategies are expected to create a cleaner and more sustainable CFD in Padang City.

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

Poor environmental sanitation is one of the main indicators of slums and has a significant impact on public health. This study aims to analyze (1) the condition of the availability of quality family latrines in the slum area of Campago Ipuh Village, Bukittinggi City, and (2) the impact of poor environmental sanitation conditions on public health in the area. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a population of 2,169 households, then a sample of 96 households was determined using the Slovin technique. Data collection was conducted through observation, primary survey using questionnaires, and interviews, while data analysis was conducted with the help of ArcGIS software. The results showed that the condition of the availability of quality family latrines and environmental drainage was dominated by private latrines and drainage that were classified as feasible, although drainage was still found that did not meet technical standards, as well as sanitation facilities that needed quality improvement. This condition shows that despite efforts to improve, the quality of sanitation in Campago Ipuh Village still has the potential to have a negative impact on public health. Therefore, it is necessary to improve sanitation infrastructure and strengthen clean and healthy living behaviors.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of local community wisdom in riverbank erosion conservation in Desa Pulau Terap, Kecamatan Kuok, Kabupaten Kampar, Riau Province. The research aims to identify and analyze: (1) forms of local wisdom in riverbank erosion conservation, (2) factors inhibiting its implementation, and (3) efforts to mitigate erosion threats based on local wisdom. A qualitative approach was used, with informants selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that local wisdom has been applied through two methods: vegetative techniques and traditional civil engineering using floating fish cages (keramba apung) along the river. Inhibiting factors include waste disposal into the river, land-use changes around the riverbanks, and unregulated sand and stone mining activities. Community and village government efforts to reduce erosion threats include issuing warnings, enforcing sanctions, and conducting outreach programs by village officials and niniok mamak (traditional leaders), both verbally and in writing, to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving the river environment. These findings confirm that integrating local wisdom into environmental conservation can serve as an effective strategy for sustainable natural resource management.

Abstract

Land cover change is a key factor influencing land surface temperature (LST) dynamics, particularly in coastal urban areas such as Pariaman City. This study aims to: (1) analyze land cover changes in Pariaman City in 2016 and 2023; (2) examine the spatial distribution of LST in both periods; and (3) evaluate the impact of land cover change on LST. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, using a supervised classification approach for land cover mapping, the Mono-Window Brightness Temperature model for LST estimation, and Pearson’s correlation and regression analyses to assess their relationship. The results indicate substantial land cover changes, with a forest area reduction of 26.162 km² and an increase in residential and agricultural land by 16.444 km² and 12.373 km², respectively. In 2016, LST distribution was dominated by the moderate class (20–24 °C), whereas in 2023 it exhibited greater variability, with an expansion of both low-temperature classes (<17 °C and 17–20 °C) and high-temperature classes (24–29 °C). Pearson’s correlation yielded r = −0.523, indicating that forest cover loss correlates with LST increase. Regression analysis suggests that each 1 km² increase in forest cover is associated with a 0.028 °C decrease in LST. These findings underscore the critical role of land cover management in mitigating urban warming.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the contribution of Tiku Beach tourism in Tanjung Mutiara Subdistrict to the local economy and to identify the economic challenges faced by small-scale entrepreneurs in the area. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews with business owners, vendors, service providers, tourism workers, and local residents, supported by field observations. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Tiku Beach tourism significantly contributes to local economic improvement, particularly by creating business opportunities and increasing daily income levels—from an average of Rp50,000–Rp100,000 to Rp200,000–Rp250,000. However, local entrepreneurs face three main challenges: income fluctuations due to seasonality, competition among similar businesses, and predominantly traditional business management practices. The study concludes that Tiku Beach tourism plays a vital role in driving the local economy, but sustaining its contribution requires strategic efforts in capacity building, managerial support, and strengthening the competitiveness of tourism-related enterprises.
