Abstract

This study investigates the effect of seawater moisture content on the resistivity of unconsolidated sand in the coastal region of Yogyakarta. Laboratory experiments were conducted using a standard ASTM G-57 soil box with samples prepared at varying percentages of seawater moisture content. The results indicate that increasing seawater content in the sediment medium leads to an exponential decrease in resistivity. A mathematical relationship was established in the form of a power function: R=1145.7MC?2.23. Resistivity values tend to stabilize when the moisture content exceeds 13%. A resistivity range of 0.8–2.8 ??m is proposed as a cut-off for identifying seawater intrusion in coastal areas. These findings provide an important contribution to the development of geoelectrical methods for monitoring seawater intrusion and evaluating groundwater quality in coastal regions, which can serve as a basis for sustainable water resource management.

Abstract

Asphalt is the main material in highway construction that plays an important role in determining the quality, durability, and comfort of road users. The demand for asphalt in Indonesia continues to increase in line with national infrastructure development, including in the West Nusa Tenggara region. PT Fima Kencana Kerthasari, located in Belo Village, Jereweh District, West Sumbawa Regency, is one of the companies engaged in the production of hot mix asphalt through a mixing plant facility. In practice, the production process often faces challenges in maintaining consistent asphalt quality due to variations in mixing temperature, inaccuracies in aggregate and asphalt measurements, and a lack of real-time process control. Considering the potential for quality improvement through the optimization of production process parameters such as temperature, mixing time, and aggregate-asphalt ratio, a systematic study at the PT Fima Kencana Kerthasari site is required. This optimization not only aims to meet technical specification standards (e.g., SNI 06-2489-1991 and SNI 7394:2008) but also to enhance the company's competitiveness through cost efficiency and operational efficiency.

Abstract

Bangka Island, located in the eastern coast of Sumatra, is part of Indonesia’s unique and diverse geological heritage. Despite its potential, many of its coastal geosites remain poorly exposed and managed in terms of geoheritage value and geotourism development. This study focuses on Pasir Padi Beach, Pangkalpinang, aiming to evaluate its potential as a geotourism site using a integrated approach consisted of field surveys, geosite inventory assessment, and petrographic analysis of oxide-rich limestone from the Tanjung Genting Formation. Observations captured well-preserved modern ripple structures and dynamic shoreline processes that reflect active coastal sedimentation processes, offering valuable knowledge for both education and research. The site accessibility, combined with its past and modern geological features, showing it as a potential natural field laboratory for coastal sedimentology and geomorphology. Furthermore, the development of geotourism in this area bring a positive impact for supporting local economies through community engagement and sustainable tourism practices. The results support the inclusion of Pasir Padi Beach in Bangka Island geoheritage planning and recommend further efforts toward site conservation, interpretation, and integration into local tourism strategies towards becoming Unesco Global Geopark.
