Abstract

This research seeks to enhance active learner participation and thinking skills geography by exploiting the geographic learning opportunities presented in the physical setting of Jasper Stone Park. The study was conducted using a field study mixed methods approach with qualitative and quantitative components using local observations, interviewing experts, and GIS spatial analysis. Jasper Stone Park was selected for this case study because the park's geological features and history are ethnically and environmentally diverse. The learning module developed included interactivity and therefore students were actively engaged in the material. The results prove that students’ comprehension of geographical concepts as well as critical thinking skills are deepened. The research highlights the effectiveness of the incorporated local materials as resources of instruction and suggests a new direction of interdisciplinary curriculum and educational policy design. Moreover, the results justify the incorporation of local materials into geography lessons and make a case for the application of this strategy in other geographical areas. Future research could investigate the long-term impact of the developed learning module on students' geographical understanding and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Tourism has developed into an important economic sector with great potential for growth. However, the sustainability of the industry remains a challenge due to issues such as resource exploitation, ecological degradation, and lack of local community involvement. In light of these challenges, sustainable tourism has become a central theme in tourism destination management across Indonesia, including Punaga Beach in South Sulawesi. This study explored the characteristics of sustainable tourism management at Punaga Beach and the factors that influence its success. The study adopted a quantitative approach using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). Data were collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders, questionnaires, and field observations. The findings indicate that tourism management at Punaga Beach needs to be strengthened through strategies involving collaboration between the government, local communities, and the private sector. Based on the AHP analysis, the priority factors in sustainable tourism management include improving human resource quality, enhancing facilities, and raising community awareness of environmental conservation. This study provides recommendations for sustainability-based management improvements to achieve more efficient and long-term tourism development at Punaga Beach

Abstract

The problems in geography learning are difficulties in submitting and providing answers related to material and teacher-centered learning activities. This research aims to examine of the effect of the self-directed learning model on critical thinking skills and learning independence in geography subjects. This research is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection methods include written test of essay questions about critical thinking skills and questionnaires regarding learning independence. The subjects of this study were class X-3 as the experimental class and class X-1 as the control class with a total of 34 students every class. Based on the results of Mann-Whitney U hypothesis testing, it is known that critical thinking ability has an Asymp. Sig 0.000 0.05. So, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is an effect of the self-directed learning model on critical thinking skills in geography subjects. Meanwhile, the learning independence shows the value of Asymp. Sig value of 0.000 0.05. then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is an effect of the self-directed learning model on learning independence in geography subjects. The research findings show that the syntax of the self-directed learning model, namely implementation and evaluation as well as the syntax of identifying learner abilities and learning resources, affects critical thinking skills. Meanwhile, the syntax that affects learning independence is the syntax of identifying learner abilities and learning resources. Therefore, this research is expected to make a significant new contribution in understanding the self-directed learning model as an effort to improve critical thinking skills and learning independence in geography subjects.

Abstract

Indonesia's geography poses a threat to society due to its volcanic activity. Disaster self-awareness and disaster preparedness are considered to influence students' actions in dealing with eruptions, both before, during, and after a disaster occurs. Disaster self-awareness enables individuals to take appropriate actions when faced with a disaster, while preparedness involves a series of activities to anticipate disasters. By choosing SMP Negeri 2 Kemalang as the research site, which is close to Mount Merapi, it is hoped that this study can provide a better understanding of how disaster self-awareness can influence students' preparedness in dealing with eruptions. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of disaster self-awareness and preparedness of students at SMP Negeri 2 Kemalang in dealing with the eruption of Mount Merapi, and to determine the relationship between the two variables. The method used in this study is quantitative descriptive with a contingency coefficient correlation design. The results showed that the level of disaster self-awareness of students was 67.50% in the preparedness category. The preparedness variable obtained a percentage score of 77.06%, which is included in the high category. The relationship between the two variables is included in the weak correlation category with a value of 0.298. In an effort to improve students' preparedness for volcanic eruption disasters, schools need to integrate disaster education into the curriculum in a comprehensive and sustainable manner. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster education programs and to identify other factors that influence optimal student preparedness.

Abstract

As climate change intensifies and environmental degradation worsens, flooding has transformed from a seasonal event into a persistent and escalating threat. Rural areas are particularly vulnerable due to their limited adaptive capacity and fragile social structures. The increasing frequency and severity of floods underscore the urgent need for both structural reforms and the strengthening of community-based social systems. However, existing studies have not adequately addressed the research gaps, especially concerning how specific components of community social resilience contribute to effective flood disaster management in rural contexts. This study aims to fill that gap by analyzing the role of sustainable community social resilience in managing and adapting to flood disasters in Kampar Regency. The research employs the Rapid Appraisal for Resilience method and analyzes data using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). It focuses on four key dimensions: social, education, health, and economics. Primary data were collected through interviews with 105 purposively selected respondents from flood-affected communities across 22 subdistricts in Kampar Regency. The results of the multidimensional sustainability index indicate an overall score of 49.06, categorizing the area as “less sustainable.” The dimension-specific scores were as follows: economic (50.29), social (46.08), health (50.10), and education (49.76). These results reveal uneven levels of community resilience, with economic and health dimensions showing slightly better outcomes than others. Tailored interventions addressing dimension-specific weaknesses are essential. Strengthening these localized aspects supports long-term strategies for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. This study underscores the importance of incorporating multidimensional assessments into local development planning to build resilience in flood-prone communities.

Abstract

Neighbourhood safety remains a critical urban challenge, with social disorganisation theory positing that structural factors like poverty and residential instability weaken community cohesion and amplify crime perceptions. While Scotland has seen declining crime rates, persistent violence in deprived areas, and emerging disorder in affluent communities necessitate safety measures across socioeconomic situations. This study examines how social disorganisation influences perceptions of safety across affluent and deprived neighbourhoods in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland. Using a cross-sectional survey of 610 residents, we employed multiple regression and ANOVA models to analyse six key indicators of social disorder (noise, vandalism, verbal abuse, burglary, unsupervised children, and physical assault) against self-reported feelings of safety. Data were transformed using the Item Response Theory and Rasch Model to enable parametric analysis, with cross-validation confirming model robustness (R² 0.92).  Results revealed that verbal abuse (β = -0.565) and physical assault (β = -0.499) were the strongest predictors of reduced safety, with deprived areas exhibiting heightened vulnerability. Counterintuitively, affluent neighbourhoods reported higher perceived disorder for vandalism and unsupervised children, suggesting socioeconomic differences in reporting behaviours or tolerance thresholds. City-specific variations emerged: vandalism significantly impacted safety in Glasgow’s deprived areas but not Edinburgh’s, highlighting the need for locally tailored interventions.  The findings reinforce social disorganisation theory while demonstrating its nuanced application across socioeconomic contexts. Urban safety research by incorporating minor incivilities often overlooked in crime statistics, offering evidence for holistic approaches to neighbourhood security.

Abstract

Although Research-Based Learning (RBL) is recognized for enhancing student competencies, empirical studies testing its specific efficacy on scientific writing skills within geography education, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, remain scarce. This gap hinders the development of pedagogical models that can effectively prepare geography students to meet their academic and professional demands. Therefore, this study evaluated the impact of an RBL model on the scientific writing skills of undergraduate geography students at an Indonesian university. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test control group design, this study involved 55 undergraduate geography students. Scientific writing ability was evaluated using an analytical rubric, and supplementary data on critical thinking and motivation were collected to enrich the analysis of the results. The analysis revealed that the experimental group that received RBL treatment demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in scientific writing skills (p 0.05) compared to the control group. This finding proves that RBL is effective in enhancing students' competence in formulating arguments, analyzing data, and presenting findings systematically. This study presents robust empirical evidence to support the integration of RBL into higher education geography curricula. The findings imply that RBL can serve as a global pedagogical model to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thereby producing more competent graduate.

Abstract

Urban waste challenges persist in intensifying and numerous communities exhibit a lack of engagement regarding sustainable waste management practices, waste banks present an alternative, proactive approach that empowers individuals through collaborative waste governance. The purpose of this study is to find out: How are Community Empowerment Efforts in managing Waste Banks in the area. This study uses a qualitative approach with the research location at the Waste Bank in Cilandak District. The management of waste banks in Cilandak sub-district is carried out by sub-districts in Cilandak sub-district, waste management is in accordance with Governor Regulation No. 77 of 2020 that each sub-district forms a waste bank up to the sub village level. Waste management in the Cilandak sub-district area has implemented the 3R concept, namely: a) Reduce (reduce waste generation), Reuse (reuse), and Recycle (recycle).  The implementation of community empowerment through waste banks in Cilandak sub-district which is lowered into the activity program in each sub-district, namely having activities including waste bank socialization, waste saving, waste selection, skills training and evaluation carried out in the work program every year, but there are still shortcomings because not all RT/RW from each sub-district have formed a waste bank. This research is confined to one district and may not adequately represent wider regional disparities. Subsequent investigations ought to incorporate a comparative analysis across various urban locales to evaluate distinct frameworks of waste bank management and their enduring socio-economic and environmental repercussions.

Abstract

The diversity of teaching materials in the current era is experiencing very rapid development, so that the selection of appropriate teaching materials will have an impact on student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of the application and determine the improvement in student learning outcomes in the implementation of teaching materials based on ArcGIS StoryMaps. The results of initial observations conducted at SMA Negeri 12 Makassar showed that teachers still use teaching materials in the form of books, power points and websites that are less interactive so that this has an impact on student learning outcomes that are lacking. The method in this study uses N-Gain analysis to measure student learning outcomes. The data collection technique in this study was divided into two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class with 20 samples each through pre-test and post-test. The results of this study are 1. based on the results of the average pre-test, the experimental class score was 52 and the control class 34 while the average post-test score in the experimental class was 73 and the control class 35. 2. Based on the results of the normality test (N-Gain) showed that the experimental class was 0.56 and the control class was 0.8. This shows that there has been an increase in students' understanding in the use of teaching materials based on ArcGIS StoryMaps, especially in the material on the Distribution of Flora and Fauna in Indonesia
