Abstract

This study aims to conduct spatial analysis and mapping of flood hazard zoning in Gorontalo City using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Indonesia, as a “disaster supermarket,” faces floods as the most dominant meteorological and hydrological threat. Gorontalo City has been recorded as highly affected; as of July 2024, 4,686 houses and 41,164 residents were impacted by flooding, with Biawu Subdistrict identified as the most severely affected area. The research method employs spatial analysis of secondary data using overlay techniques on variables including administrative boundaries, soil types, slope gradient, and rainfall, all in shapefile (SHP) format. Data sources are integrated from BNPB’s InaRISK and Google Satellite imagery. The results indicate that the majority of Gorontalo City falls within a high-risk zone (red), concentrated in the lowland central to northern areas encompassing Kota Tengah, Kota Selatan, Kota Timur, Dungingi, and Sipatana Districts. This high level of vulnerability is driven by a combination of flat topography, low soil infiltration capacity, and high rainfall. The resulting map serves as a strategic scientific instrument for the government in formulating adaptive mitigation and spatial planning policies to minimize future disaster risks.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing physical development and population growth in Tanah Grogot District, which has put pressure on the availability of Green Open Space (GOS). The literature review covers the concept of GOS, its ecological and social functions, spatial distribution patterns, and the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial analysis. The research uses a descriptive quantitative method supported by primary data through field observations, geotagging, and documentation, as well as secondary data from relevant government agencies. The analysis was conducted using on screen digitization and spatial processing using ArcGIS 10.4 to produce a GOS distribution map and calculate the ideal GOS requirement based on the standard of 20 m² per inhabitant. The research results show that there are 83 green open spaces (GOS) spread across Tanah Grogot District, dominated by private green spaces and cemeteries, with a major concentration in government centers and educational areas. The distribution of green open spaces is uneven, particularly in outlying residential areas. The total area of existing green open spaces is recorded at 380,895 m², while the ideal need is 1,658,980 m², resulting in a deficit of 1,278,085 m². These findings confirm that the availability of green open spaces remains far below the minimum standard and require strategies to increase the area, ensure equitable distribution, and strengthen the ecological and social functions of green open spaces.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of philosophy of science in geography education, particularly through the use of ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions as the foundation for developing content, methods, and assessment. Within the context of the Merdeka Curriculum and the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile, geography learning requires students not only to master spatial concepts but also to develop critical, reflective, and ethical awareness of human–environment relationships. This research employs a qualitative approach with a literature review design, drawing on books, journal articles, and policy documents related to philosophy of science, philosophy of geography, and geography education. The findings indicate that the ontological dimension helps teachers and students understand the nature of geographical objects of study such as space, place, and landscape as complex and dynamic realities. The epistemological dimension directs learning toward scientific processes of knowledge construction through observation, mapping, geospatial technologies, and critical inquiry. Meanwhile, the axiological dimension positions geography learning as a means of fostering social and environmental responsibility by promoting values of sustainability, spatial justice, and global citizenship. The implementation of philosophy of science in geography classrooms can be realized through problem-based learning, contextual project work, reflective dialogue, and the integration of ethical issues into the analysis of geospheric phenomena. The study recommends strengthening geography teachers’ philosophical literacy, developing teaching modules grounded in philosophy of science, and conducting further empirical research on the impact of philosophical approaches on students’ critical thinking skills and character development

Abstract

Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) area has transformed into an integrated urban tourism destination, yet its development lacks comprehensive spatial analysis regarding the distribution pattern of its tourist attractions. This study aims to map and analyze the distribution of tourism objects in the PIK area using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approach. The method used is spatial descriptive with coordinate data from satellite imagery, which is then analyzed to identify distribution patterns and clustering. The results show that tourism objects are concentrated unevenly, forming function-based clusters along the reclaimed coastal corridor, dominated by culinary, recreation, and shopping tourism. Key findings reveal spatial utilization disparities, a clear waterfront-oriented development pattern, and governance complexity due to the area being divided into three different administrative regions. The study concludes that this GIS mapping provides a critical spatial database for spatial planning and more integrated, sustainable tourism development that can address policy fragmentation across regional boundaries.

Abstract

Flood disasters are one of the hydrometeorological hazards that frequently occur in Bandung Regency and have significant impacts on the environment, as well as the social and economic conditions of the community. This study aims to analyze the level of flood vulnerability in Bandung Regency by utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The research employs a descriptive–quantitative approach by integrating several vulnerability parameters, including population density, land use, distance of settlements to rivers, slope, rainfall, and drainage infrastructure conditions. Each parameter is weighted through a scoring technique and overlaid using GIS software to produce a flood vulnerability zoning map.The analysis shows that Bandung Regency exhibits considerable variations in vulnerability levels, ranging from low, medium, to high categories. Areas with high vulnerability are generally located in lowland zones, near major river channels, have high population density, and are dominated by residential land use and urban activities. Meanwhile, areas with low vulnerability are situated in hilly regions with steeper slopes and relatively good vegetation cover. The resulting vulnerability map can be used as a basis for spatial planning, disaster mitigation, and decision-making by local authorities.This study emphasizes the importance of utilizing GIS in spatial analysis of flood vulnerability, as it provides accurate geographic visualization and information to support effective and sustainable disaster risk reduction efforts.

Abstract

The agropolitan policy implemented by the regional government in 2002 has driven changes in land use functions in Gorontalo Province. However, changes in land use intensity in Gorontalo Province have not been widely studied. This study aims to detect the spatial distribution of land use intensity from 2000 to 2020 in Gorontalo Province. A combination of Google Earth Engine and QGIS was chosen as the primary tools to detect the spatial distribution of land use intensity between 2000 and 2023 using the Global Land Cover and Land Use Change dataset. In general, the experimental results show that the area of land with medium-high and high land use intensity has increased significantly over the past two decades. This increase reflects the expansion of agricultural areas through the agropolitan program development activities by the provincial government since 2002. Thus, the use of the land use intensity index algorithm can provide information on landscape changes due to human activities. These findings are expected to serve as a reference in allocating land for future agricultural development purposes in Gorontalo Province.

Abstract

Urban slum settlements remain one of the most complex and persistent challenges in Indonesia’s urban development landscape. This study aims to examine the characteristics, causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies of slum settlements through a comprehensive literature review. Findings show that slums arise due to rapid urbanization, limited access to affordable housing, weak spatial planning, unclear land legality, and socioeconomic vulnerability among low-income communities. Slum areas are characterized by poor physical conditions, inadequate infrastructure, overcrowding, and limited access to clean water, sanitation, and proper waste management. These conditions contribute to various health, environmental, and social problems that hinder sustainable urban development. The study also highlights the importance of preventive and responsive mitigation strategies, including inclusive spatial planning, provision of affordable housing, community empowerment, in-situ upgrading, and planned relocation for high-risk areas. Furthermore, the successful implementation of national programs such as the KOTAKU Program and the One Million Houses Program requires strong collaboration between local governments, communities, and the private sector. The study concludes that sustainable slum management is essential to achieving SDG 11, which emphasizes inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities. Strengthened governance, coordinated policies, and continuous community engagement are critical to preventing the emergence of new slums and improving the quality of existing one.

Abstract

The rapid growth of commercial and residential activities in city centers often exerts pressure on the existence of green spaces. This study analyzes the condition, adequacy, and spatial distribution of Green Open Space (GOS) in the central area of Tasikmalaya City, specifically in Cihideung and Tawang Districts, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach supported by field surveys and spatial data analysis to map locations and calculate GOS areas. The results indicate a significant deficit in GOS availability in both districts, with an estimated area of only 15-20%, falling well below the minimum standard of 30% mandated by Law Number 26 of 2007. In terms of distribution, GOS is uneven and fragmented; green spaces are concentrated primarily in public facilities and city parks such as Dadaha Park and the City Square, while high-density residential areas and commercial zones lack sufficient vegetation. The study concludes that spatial planning interventions are required through the optimization of residual spaces, revitalization of existing GOS, and implementation of green architecture (such as vertical gardens) to address ecological imbalances caused by urbanization pressures in the city center.

Abstract

Cihideung Subdistrict is one of the centers of economic activity in Tasikmalaya City, which has shown rapid development in the field of trade. This area accommodates various forms of community economic activities, both traditional and modern. The rapid growth of contemporary retail has created new challenges in terms of economy and spatial planning, particularly in relation to the sustainability of conventional markets and the balance of urban space functions. This research methodology uses Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis to evaluate the compliance of the distance between modern and traditional markets, in accordance with local regulations that stipulate a minimum distance of 1,000 meters. The analysis results show that four supermarkets in the study area are located within a 1,000-meter radius, thus violating the regulations established by the Mayor of Tasikmalaya Number 1 of 2015. This condition has a significant impact on the economy, society, environment, and urban spatial planning, including a decline in the income of traditional traders, changes in community consumption behavior, and an increase in vehicle volume that causes traffic congestion. However, in addition to these negative impacts, this situation also has positive effects, such as the creation of formal sector jobs and improved job skills for young people. Furthermore, bargaining activities in traditional markets tend to decrease
