Abstract

This study aims to monitor the impact of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a significant contributor to atmospheric corrosion and associated with air pollution, in urban and industrial areas through empirical models of spatial distribution and temporal estimation in Medan. Datasets of Sentinel 5P NRTI are worth using to monitor the formation of sulfate aerosols or SO2 emissions from natural sources and anthropogenic origin in near real-time from 2019 until 2023 on the local scale, Medan. The source dataset covers 1,11 km of spatial image resolution on orbital in daily revisit time with a spectral bound between the ultraviolet and the shortwave infrared. The measurement of atmospheric SO2 concentrations is generated by enumerating the SO2 vertical column density technique at the soil surface with the cloud-based platform The Earth Engine (EE) Code Editor to handle large data sizes and produce interactive mapping. Based on the availability of auxiliary results, the number of spreading SO2 concentrations fell from 0,92 mmol/m2 in 2019 to 0,41 mmol/m2 in 2023, a reduction of 49.98 percent. The average of SO2 concentrations has decreased substantially over the years. Consequently, these pollutants have recorded long-term health and meteorological parameters impact that substances can rise or reduce acid rain.Keywords: Air pollution, Meteorological parameters, Sentinel 5P NRTI, SO2

Abstract

This type of research is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method research, namely planning, observing, implementing and evaluating activities together in empowerment activities. Data collection techniques were collected using questionnaires and interviews from the community. This research shows that a sustainable livelihood development program in the context of community economic development on a rural scale needs to be carried out, as is the case with Mangkatip Village, a village located in the Ex-Peatland Project Area (PLG). The people's economy in Mengkatip Village is still based on agriculture and is highly dependent on natural resources. A community economic development approach with a sustainable livelihood approach can be implemented in household economic development in a Mengkatip village. Developing a household economy based on a sustainable livelihood approach is a responsible way to maintain ecological and social balance. The Million Hectare Land Project is a project that is considered to cause various environmental problems. Not only about the physical environment but also about society and the humanities. To address this, a sustainable approach has been taken. Therefore, planning for economic empowerment through sustainable resource development is very important in areas experiencing environmental degradation.Keywords: Development; Social Economy; Sustainable.

Abstract

Assessment is essential in the education system to monitor educational development and make appropriate instructional decisions. This study aims to analyze the quality of multiple choice questions based on high-level thinking skills (HOTS) in the Geography subject using Anates Windows Version 4.0.9 software. This evaluative research involves analysis of final semester exam questions for class X Geography at SMA Islam Al Azhar 14 Semarang. Data consisting of questions, answer keys and exam results were collected from 32 students. The analysis was carried out descriptively and quantitatively to assess the level of difficulty, discriminating power, reliability, effectiveness of distractors, and validity of the questions. The analysis results show that the difficulty level of most of the questions is in the medium category (50%). The discriminating power is mostly good, although several questions are wrong or bad. Most of the distractors worked well, but some questions had ineffective distractors. Regarding validity, 17 questions were valid, while 11 questions were invalid. The reliability of the test is in the high category, with a reliability coefficient of 0.71. Anates Windows Version 4.0.9 software effectively analysed the quality of HOTS questions. These findings indicate that although most of the questions are of good quality, some require revision to increase their validity and effectiveness. This research emphasizes the importance of using technology in educational assessment to ensure the quality and fairness of exam questions. It contributes to developing assessment tools to improve students' higher-order thinking skills.Keywords: Item Analysis; Multiple Choice; HOTS; SMA Islam Al-Azhar

Abstract

The problem of seawater seepage in coastal areas can result in a decrease in groundwater quality due to the mixing of seawater and groundwater, so seawater seepage has an impact on increasing salinity, including in the research area. The research location is in the Lampulo beach area, Kuta Alam sub-district. Phreatic well water is generally not liked by residents of this coastal area because it tastes brackish. The high salinity of phreatic groundwater is caused by seawater seepage into alluvial land. The aim of this research is to analyze the level of groundwater salinity in the Lampulo coastal area, Kuta Alam sub-district. This research uses a grid sampling method and criteria for assessing groundwater salinity (o/oo) based on salt content. Groundwater salinity was measured randomly in 50 phreatic wells using a refractometer and marked with sample coordinates using the Avenza Maps application. Field measurement results show that there are variations in salinity values ranging from 0 to 32 ppt. Phreatic well water at the research location based on its salt content is grouped into three groups, namely fresh water, brackish water and salt water. For the freshwater group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 68%; for the brackish water group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 26%; and for the salt water group, a percentage value was obtained with a prevalence of 6%.Keywords: Salinity, Groundwater, Phreatic Well, Seawater Seepage, Grid Sampling

Abstract

Curriculum changes often occur in Indonesia. However, studies regarding the gap between curriculum planning and implementation are still very limited.  Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the Curriculum Implementation Index for Geography Learning in East Java. In this study, we used a curriculum implementation index for geography subjects. This study used purposive sampling with several considerations, such as the region distribution of geography teachers and school accreditation. The number of respondents is determined by selecting the person directly related to geography learning and its relation to curriculum implementation. We observed 30 geography teachers to determine curriculum implementation. The curriculum implementation index was used to evaluate consistency between curriculum planning and implementation, as indicated by teachers’ activities and several concepts in geography learning. The results show that the readiness of teachers to implement the curriculum in the laboratory, literature, and media aspects is in the low category. This is indicated by a laboratory index of 1.03, a literature index of 1.58, and a media index of 1.87. This low index means that geography learning does not meet the 2013 curriculum standards, especially in physical geography material, which needs laboratories and media to explain concrete concepts in geography learning. Implementing the 2013 curriculum in geography learning has not met the characteristics of the concrete idea of geography learning, which requires visualization for physical and environmental aspects.Keywords: Curriculum Implementation; Geography Learning; Index; East Java

Abstract

Urbanization is considered to be an ingrained social phenomenon in various large Indonesian cities, characterized by rapid urban population growth and drastic changes in social, economic and environmental structures. Urbanization in Indonesia shows a rapid increasing trend over the last few decades. Medan City, as one of the main urban centers in North Sumatra, has not escaped the impact of significant urbanization. Along with rapid economic and demographic growth, the city has experienced a major transformation in various aspects of city life. This research aims to identify the history of urbanization in Medan City from a social perspective. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method through literature study sourced from journals, scientific articles, books and other relevant sources. The results of this research show that urbanization in Medan City has been going on for a long time. Strategically located on the east coast of Sumatra and between the confluence of the Deli River and the Babura River, Medan has vital trade access to the Malacca Strait. Especially in the period 2012 to 2022, the increase in population in Medan City occurred in almost all sub-districts. Of the 21 sub-districts, 17 sub-districts experienced an increase in population of more than 10%. Only one sub-district experienced a decline in population, namely Medan Baru Sub-district by 7.89%. The high level of urbanization in the city of Medan is generally caused by several factors, such as strategic location, the presence of natural resources (SDA), and supporting natural conditions. Meanwhile, the impact on society's social life includes rapid population growth, changes in societal structure, and social and cultural dynamics.Keywords: History, Urbanization, Social, Medan City

Abstract

DKI Jakarta is experiencing land subsidence due to overexploitation of its use and the increasing population. It is feared that this decline or deformation will occur in the location of the new national capital. The research objective is "Mapping of Land Surface Deformation using PS-InSAR for Disaster Risk Management in the Future." Quantitative and qualitative research and data collection methods use secondary and primary data. Secondary data in the form of Permanent Scatterers Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-InSAR) Sentinel-1A images to determine soil deformation. Primary data uses a questionnaire to assess disaster risk management. Data analysis uses spatial and statistical analysis. Spatial analysis for land deformation mapping and statistical analysis for risk management. The results showed that the pattern of land deformation before the determination of the location of the capital city of Indonesia was random. On the other hand, after decision-making, it appears to be more systematic and homogeneous in adjacent areas with a decreasing range of about 5 cm per year. Other findings show that disaster risk management carried out by several agencies, especially the problem of land deformation in East Kalimantan, is still far from expectations and very minimal. The findings can be used for future disaster risk management to minimize negative impacts and reduce disaster risk.Keywords: PS-INSAR; Land Deformation; Capital City; Disaster Risk Management
