Abstract

Makassar City, the fourth largest city in Indonesia and the main hub in Eastern Indonesia, covering an area of 175.8 km², has undergone significant changes due to the rapid rate of land conversion. This process has led to a decline in densely vegetated areas, which has impacted the rise in air temperature in built-up areas. This study aims to analyze the impact of built-up areas on the increase in air temperature in Makassar City. The data used were derived from MODIS imagery to measure air temperature changes, and analyzed using spatial analysis methods based on a spatial approach utilizing geographical data related to location. The results of the study indicate that air temperature levels in Makassar City in 2023 tended to be very high, although some areas were classified as having high and low-temperature levels. Based on these findings, strategic measures are recommended to control the rate of surface temperature increase, particularly through the development of green areas and the protection of water bodies as part of urban planning efforts.

Abstract

Coastal areas often present a welfare paradox, where abundant marine resource potential is not always directly proportional to the level of welfare of fishing communities, so that poverty remains a structural and multidimensional issue. This study aims to analyze the meaning of poverty in the lived experiences of fishing families and identify the social and economic factors that shape their vulnerability. The study used qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach to explore the awareness, perceptions, and survival strategies of fishing families in the face of economic uncertainty. The study was conducted in Gentung Village, Pangkajene and Kepulauan Regency, with data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that fishermen's poverty is influenced by low levels of education, strong patron-client relationships, and cultural constructs that interpret risk as part of destiny, which indirectly limit social mobility and economic innovation. Economically, income fluctuations due to seasonal dependence, limited access to formal financial institutions, and high-interest informal lending practices reinforce the cycle of debt and household vulnerability. This study recommends strengthening educational and financial literacy, developing more inclusive community-based economic institutions, and contextual and participatory business diversification strategies to encourage social transformation and improve fishermen's welfare sustainably.
