Abstract

Land conversion is frequent in rural and urban areas where an increase in population is directly connected to the growing demand for additional land. A region with the highest rate of land conversion is Sleman Regency which is among the 3 regencies in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore, this study aimed to examine conversion of agricultural land to determine the qualification as sustainable and how the resources could be relocated for other uses. The analysis was conducted quantitatively and descriptively using secondary data from a time series database spanning 2015 to 2020. The results were presented through a combination of tables, graphs, images, and map visualizations. The study further showed that 4.412 hectares of agricultural land experienced a functional change over 5 years with the most significant change occurring in Pakem Subdistrict (1.540 hectares) and the least in Kalasan Subdistrict (4 hectares). Carrying capacity value of agricultural land in Moyudan, Godean, Cangkringan, Minggir, Seyegan, Ngaglik, Mlati, Prambanan, and Ngemplak was also influenced by the quantity of agricultural land available in each subdistrict. A maximum carrying capacity showed that adequate food was produced to sustain the population. Conversely, Depok and Turi Subdistricts possessed the lowest land-carrying capacity, showing that the subdistricts depended on food production to meet the population’s needs.

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

This study investigates urban landscape changes in Surabaya from 2014 to 2024 using NDVI and NDBI indices derived from Landsat 8 OLI imagery. The Earth Engine platform was employed to generate cloud-free composite images, enabling detailed analysis of vegetation and built-up area changes. The methodology included a bivariate geovisualization technique to display areas of change, comparing NDVI and NDBI values over a decade to assess changes at a granular level. Results indicate that the 'Vegetation Stable - Built-up Area Stable' category dominates, covering 2422 km², suggesting consistent land use in established areas. This dominance indicates well-established land use patterns across much of the city. Significant urbanization is observed in the 'Vegetation Decreased - Built-up Area Increased' (70 km²) and 'Vegetation Stable - Built-up Area Increased' (177 km²) categories, reflecting ongoing development pressures. These areas highlight zones of active development and environmental intervention. Additionally, a 75 km² increase in vegetation, particularly in coastal mangrove regions, highlights successful environmental management efforts. The study achieved an overall accuracy of 71%, demonstrating the effectiveness of NDVI and NDBI in capturing urban dynamics. While some classes require improved detection accuracy, particularly those involving decreased built-up areas, the model reliably identifies increases in vegetation and built-up areas.

Abstract

Jambi Province is a province in Indonesia whose land use is dominated by forests and plantations. Threats to land conversion and forest fires in the region have reduced vegetation and will threaten carbon absorption in the future. This study aims to map and assess the potential for carbon absorption and triggering factors by evaluating the spatiotemporal Net Primary Productivity (NPP) pattern to estimate Jambi Province's carbon absorption. This study uses remote sensing data to obtain NPP values ​​and several variables that will be assessed for their influence on NPP. MODIS satellite imagery is used to obtain NPP data, forest cover, Normalized Data Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST). Shuttle Radar Topography Map (SRTM) imagery obtains topography and slope data. Population data in the form of the Human Development Index, total population and population in urban areas were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Jambi Province. The average NPP value 2003 in Jambi Province was 0.911 kgC/m/year, then the average NPP decreased to 0.754 kgC/m/year in 2023. Based on statistical analysis, there is a correlation between NPP and NDVI, slope, and topography.

Abstract

Human activity around mangrove areas can harm their health, despite their economic benefits to local communities.  A study of the Comal estuary found that increased human activity was not matched by efforts to protect the mangroves. This lack of awareness is likely due to a lack of information about the importance of mangroves and their vulnerability.  The study used Sentinel-2A and field measurements to assess vulnerability based on factors like mangrove density, salinity, and distance from the shore. That factor were used to generate vulnerability value based on weighted overlay analysis (vulnerability index). The results showed that the eastern part of the estuary was highly vulnerable to wave damage (abrasion) due to its location. In contrast, the central part of the estuary had low vulnerability due to its denser and healthier mangroves. These findings were confirmed by field observations: areas with low vulnerability had dense, healthy mangroves, while areas with high vulnerability had damaged and broken trees. The existence of the vurnerability class can be used as a recommendation for further mangrove management. Restoration can be applied in areas of high mangrove vulnerability. The area has a very low mangrove density due to the large number of mangroves damaged by abrasion, so replanting mangroves in the area is highly recommended. Mangrove planting also needs to require great attention, especially in the area has a problem in the form of large ocean waves, so the construction of a breakwater with a “Shark Tooth” formation is recommended

Abstract

River water quality in urban areas, particularly in Yogyakarta, has declined due to pollution from domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. Communal wastewater treatment plants (CWWTPs) were established to address this issue; however, they have not been operating optimally, limiting their impact on improving water quality. Therefore, this study aims to 1) analyze the condition of water quality temporally and spatially in river sections in Yogyakarta City, 2) determine river water quality index temporally and spatially using Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environmental (CCME) method and Biodegradability Index (BI), 3) evaluate the level of water pollution between CCME method and BI, and 4) analyze water quality parameters influencing the pollution level. The study procedures were carried out using the institutional survey method, and data were obtained from temporal water quality monitoring by Yogyakarta City Environmental Service. Water quality assessment was based on standards according to Governor Regulation No. 20 of 2008. Evaluation of pollution levels was carried out using water quality index with CCME method and BI. The influence of dominant parameters was statistically tested using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that water quality in Yogyakarta City based on CCME method and BI was dominated by the poor and non-biodegradable categories. Between 2020 and 2023, the CCME and BI index values of rivers showed an increasing trend, indicating a reduction in pollution. The primary factors affecting water quality include NO₂, TDS, temperature, DO, NO₃, and total phosphate, originating from domestic and agricultural activities. In contrast, Cu, Zn, and Cd are primarily sourced from industrial activities.

Abstract

In the modern educational landscape, innovative teaching methods, such as raised-relief maps using graphic art scratch techniques, are crucial for helping students engage with complex geography concepts. These tactile maps provide a multisensory learning experience, enhancing spatial awareness and retention by allowing students to physically interact with three-dimensional topographies. By combining art and geography, this approach fosters creativity while improving students' understanding and retention of geographical features. This research uses the R&D method with the ADDIE model to design and develop a raised relief map to improve students' understanding of the Earth's topography. The development process involves creating a map prototype using scratch graphic art techniques and various materials such as plywood, foam, plaster, and acrylic paint to create three-dimensional topographic features. The results of this research indicate that raised relief maps successfully enhance students’ understanding of spatial relationships and topographic features of the Earth through an interactive, multisensory approach. The use of tactile materials and interactive elements in the maps helped students understand complex geographic concepts, while feedback from prototype testing provided insights for design improvements to enhance learning effectiveness. The contribution of this research is to provide an effective tactile-based learning aid development model to enhance students' geographical understanding, while opening up opportunities for further innovation in interactive education.

Abstract

Batak Toba oral literature represents women as farmers and discoverers of frankincense trees, highlighting the connection between women and nature. The ecofeminism perspective views this relationship as a form of resistance against environmental exploitation and gender injustice. The purpose of this article is to focus on the struggle of the Batak Toba Sipituhuta-Pandumaan ethnic women in preserving the indigenous frankincense forest against Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL). The research method that will be used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Phase I (first) will be observing, identifying, and classifying the types of Batak Toba literary works that contain Batak Toba cultural values related to environmental conservation efforts. In the second stage, participatory observations and in-depth interviews were conducted with selected informants, followed by analysis, discussion, and conclusions. The struggle of women in protecting the frankincense forest has long been represented in folklore, portraying women as the discoverers of the tree that saved their family's economy. Within the forest-owning community, women also play a role in protecting men from potential violence during conflicts. Supported by KSPPM, the prolonged struggle of Sipituhuta-Pandumaan women resulted in the recognition of their customary forest by the government in 2021. Their close connection to the frankincense forest stems from their feminine nature, characterized by a deep concern for environmental preservation and household sustainability, which is perceived as a cultural burden.

Abstract

This study provides an overview of how the Field Trip learning method can be used in school geography by utilizing natural and artificial laboratories. Geography education includes various components, including the lithosphere, anthroposphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. One effective method to enhance learning is to utilize the environment as a resource through fieldwork, where students engage in direct observation and investigation outside the classroom. The research method uses a qualitative approach with literature studies and bibliographic analysis. The findings show that natural and artificial environments can support fieldwork-based learning, including (1) studying the distribution of flora and fauna in urban forests, (2) understanding natural disasters through visits to the Tsunami Museum, (3) applying remote sensing techniques by exploring hilly landscapes, and (4) utilizing university laboratories for Geographic Information Systems. The fieldwork method encourages interactive learning between teachers and students and peer involvement, creating a fun yet focused learning experience. In addition, incorporating the environment as a learning resource enhances students' critical thinking, encourages active participation, and fosters a scientific mindset. Students gain deeper geographical insights through this approach while developing important analytical and observation skill

Abstract

Aceh is a region that has a rich historical and cultural heritage, which reflects its civilization and identity from time to time. However, the threat to the preservation of these historical relics is increasing over time, especially due to natural factors, urbanization, and social changes. Digitalization has emerged as a potential solution to address these challenges. The digitization of historical and cultural heritage offers a new way to preserve, access, and promote Aceh's cultural heritage more broadly. This research aims to explore the role of digital technology in the preservation of Aceh's cultural heritage, as well as its impact on local and global communities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study on the Aceh Historical Trail Map (acehhistorytrailmap.id). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders, document analysis, and observation of platform usage. The analysis was conducted thematically to identify the benefits of digitalization, the technology used, and challenges in preserving cultural heritage. The study focuses on historical sites in East Aceh, such as Perlak and Idi, as the research locus. Through the analysis of case studies from the historical heritage digitization project in Aceh, this study examines the effectiveness of digital devices such as digital imaging, virtual tours, and online platforms in documenting and disseminating important elements of Acehnese culture, such as: artifacts and historical sites. The results of this research are expected to provide insight into effective strategies for cultural heritage preservation through technology, as well as the potential for collaboration between stakeholders in realizing sustainable digital transformation for the preservation of Aceh's historical heritage.
