Abstract

Sukoharjo District has the highest rice productivity in Central Java. Sukoharjo has a strategic location. It makes this area prone to land use changes. It makes a severe impact on Paddy's productivity. This condition needs to be monitored continually. Remote sensing can provide an efficient and accurate method to solve this condition. Using the NDVI from Landsat 8 imagery and ubinan data, the model can be built to calculate and analyze paddy™s productivity. The steps were 1) interpretation of paddy fields area; 2) calculation of NDVI™s mean values a month before harvesting; 3) interpretation accuracy test; 4) correlation value between NDVI and ubinan data in 2022; 5) calculation of paddy productivity; and 6) analysis. Within a decade (2013-2023), there was a reduction in paddy's yield area for 981.90 Ha. During that period, there was an increase in paddy's productivity, around 38.2 x 103 tons. Almost all sub-districts in Sukoharjo™s yield had been reduced except for Tawangsari and Weru. Kartasura and Grogol have experienced an intensive change in paddy yields to non-paddy yields. Intensive land use changes affected paddy™s productivity. Multi-temporal imagery combined with ubinan data can be used to monitor paddy™s productivity. Forty-one points were calculated for the y (productivity) and x (NDVI value) equation. The equation resulting from this method (y=6.2212x+6.7444) can be used as a reference for calculating productivity in Sukoharjo District in different periods. From different calculations, the accuracy obtained from this method was 86%.Keywords: Landsat 8; NDVI; Paddy™s Productivity; Sukoharjo; Ubinan data

Abstract

The rapid development of urban areas characterized by urbanization has caused various impacts, such as LST. The Peri-Urban area of Surakarta City is one of the areas that experiences similar conditions. This study aims to measure urbanization through the urban form, population, and land urbanization and modeling urbanization of Land Surface Temperature. The method used in this study is modeling using Ordinary least squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Data processing tools to support this research are ArcGIS and Google Earth Engine. The combination of ArcGIS and Google Earth Engine makes LST modeling more accurate. The measurement results show that the urbanization rate in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City, based on the parameters of land urbanization and urban form, tends to move to the South and West sides with a higher population in areas close to Surakarta City. The results of this study show that GWR modeling is better at explaining the relationship of urbanization with LST than OLS models based on AICc numbers. The relationship of urbanization with population parameters, population density, percentage of built-up land, and urban form with LST using the GWR model of 66.17% and the OLS model reveals that urbanization.Keywords: GWR; LST; OLS; Urbanization; Urban form

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

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

Land cover changes are a critical concern in a developing country where rapid urbanization and population growth intersect with environmental dynamics. Understanding the driving forces behind these changes is essential for sustainable development and effective land management. This study analyzes land cover changes in Demak-Jepara regency, Indonesia, over a 20-year period using Landsat data. The objective is to identify the dominant factors driving the increase in built-up areas, considering both natural and human-induced factors. Factors such as road distance, existing build area, and natural features are evaluated. Using ArcGIS and Idrisi Selva's Land Change Modeler, land cover data is processed, and Cellular Automata-Markov analysis is conducted. The study considers a cell size of 30 x 30 meters and a time step of 5 years from 2001 to 2009. Transition persistence analysis identifies significant factors, validated using 2020 land cover data through AUC (Area Under the Curve) and ROC (Relative Operating Characteristic) analysis. The combination of natural and human-induced factors (scenario-C) shows the highest AUC value of 0.9406, indicating better conformity with 2020 land cover. Dominant factors in scenario C include roads, existing built-up areas, river order, and slope gradient. Results reveal that road development and proximity to existing settlements are the primary drivers of land cover changes. Natural factors like river order and slope gradient have a lesser impact, while the coastline has minimal influence. These findings highlight the importance of considering both natural and human-induced factors in land use planning. They provide valuable insights for policymakers and land managers in making informed decisions for sustainable development and land use strategies. Keywords: Land Cover Changes; Driving Factors; Natural Factors; CA-Markov; Sustainable Development

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.
