Abstract

The Laboratory and Workshop Information System named SIABEL at Politeknik Negeri Madura has been operational since January 2024, providing five core modules: Catalogue, Usage, Procurement, Inventory Verification, and Reporting. Despite more than one year of operation, active adoption remains at approximately 40% of institutional laboratory and workshop units. This study evaluates the factors influencing system adoption using the HOT-fit (Human, Organization, Technology–fit) framework, identifies functional and structural gaps, and proposes a phased system development plan grounded in evaluation findings. Data were collected via a structured five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 119 respondents across four role groups — Students (74.8%), Laboratory Technicians (10.9%), Laboratory and Workshop Heads (8.4%), and Supervising Lecturers (5.9%) — drawn from four academic departments. The 44-item instrument was confirmed valid (r = 0.793–0.921) and reliable across all nine HOT-fit constructs (Cronbach's ? = 0.901–0.937). Descriptive analysis shows all constructs scored in the Good category (overall means 3.74–3.83), establishing that the adoption gap is not attributable to system quality failure but to three structural conditions: a configuration mismatch between the system and the Department of Health's laboratory workflows, functional gaps that reduce the net benefit perceived by Laboratory Technicians, and weak institutional governance. A 14-initiative, three-phase development plan is proposed, prioritizing a health laboratory configuration module, an automated notification engine, and a structured onboarding program as immediate interventions.

Abstract

Birds (avifauna) play an essential role in maintaining ecosystem balance as seed dispersers, insect predators, and pollinators. However, anthropogenic pressures in production forests threaten their habitats, including in Aceh Besar Regency. This study aims to assess avifaunal diversity, conservation status, and ecological roles in production forest areas. This study was conducted in Kota Jantho, Kuta Cot Glie, and Seulimum at elevations ranging from 250 to 1,700 meters above sea level. Observations were carried out using the line transect method across 10 transects (30 plots, 50 × 50 m). Avifaunal diversity was analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’), while conservation status referred to the IUCN Red List (2025) and Indonesian regulation (Permen LHK No. P.106/2018). The results recorded 26 bird species, consisting of 22 species categorized as Least Concern (LC) and 1 species as Vulnerable (VU), while 3 species are listed as nationally protected. The diversity index indicated a moderate level of diversity. The presence of frugivorous, insectivorous, and nectarivorous birds highlights their ecological roles in forest regeneration, pest control, and pollination. Lower species richness compared to conservation areas is likely associated with habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic pressures such as shifting cultivation and illegal logging. These findings indicate that production forests still function as important habitats, although they are under ecological pressure. Conservation strategies should include community-based monitoring, biodiversity-based spatial planning, law enforcement, and environmental education.

Abstract

This study examines the knowledge of constellations and cardinal directions among the Malay coastal community in Medan as part of a traditional knowledge system (Ilmu Falak) used in maritime activities and sea-based livelihoods, particularly in the context of climate change. Drawing upon the cultural framework proposed by Koentjaraningrat, Ilmu Falak is understood as an element of a knowledge system transmitted across generations and serving both practical and symbolic functions. The Malay astronomical tradition is historically connected to the development of Islamic astronomy, which flourished during the era of scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Farghani, and Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, and was documented in classical manuscripts such as Sulalatus Salatin. This research employs a qualitative method with historical and ethnographic approaches through literature studies, interviews with coastal fishermen in Medan, and comparison with contemporary meteorological data. The findings show that Malay coastal communities utilize the positions of constellations, seasonal wind directions, lunar phases, and natural signs as guides for navigation and weather prediction. However, shifts in seasonal patterns caused by global climate change have affected the accuracy of several traditional indicators. Nevertheless, Malay astronomical knowledge still possesses adaptive value, particularly when integrated with modern scientific data. This study emphasizes that Malay Ilmu Falak is not merely a cultural heritage but also a form of ecological wisdom that remains relevant in contemporary contexts. The integration of local knowledge and modern science is essential to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities facing increasingly unpredictable climate dynamics.

Abstract

Culture-oriented tourism plays a vital role in empowering rural economies and safeguarding local wisdom. However, marketing practices in this sector frequently prioritize commercial appeal rather than embodying indigenous cultural values. This study investigates the influence of cultural tourism marketing strategies on rural destination branding, with the Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy serving as a mediating variable. Grounded in value-based marketing and cultural sustainability perspectives, this research emphasizes the integration of local wisdom into destination branding as a strategic intangible asset. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale survey involving 121 tourism stakeholders and community members in Jatiluwih Tourism Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bali, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings demonstrate that cultural tourism marketing strategies have a significant positive effect on destination branding. Moreover, Tri Hita Karana values significantly mediate this relationship, indicating that marketing strategies aligned with spiritual harmony (Parhyangan), social cohesion (Pawongan), and environmental balance (Palemahan) strengthen destination brand authenticity and credibility. The results contribute theoretically by extending destination marketing and branding literature through the empirical integration of an indigenous philosophical framework into a structural model. Practically, the findings suggest that rural tourism managers and policymakers should embed cultural and spiritual values into marketing communications to enhance sustainable brand identity, visitor trust, and long-term destination resilience. Overall, this study highlights that culturally grounded marketing strategies are essential for developing authentic and sustainable rural tourism destinations in culturally rich regions.

Abstract

Agroforestry optimizes soil fertility by adding organic matter from tree litter, enhancing nutrient cycling, improving soil structure and water-holding capacity—all of which contribute to increased and stable crop yields, thereby supporting food security. Soil fertility optimization is the process of improving soil quality to make it more productive and support plant growth, including   which can be achieved through soil and water management techniques in agroforestry systems, beginning with periodic soil analysis to help determine plant nutrient needs and assist in establishing appropriate fertilization strategies. Soil fertility in agroforestry lands is crucial for supporting food security. Agroforestry, which involves the integration of trees with agricultural crops, can significantly enhance soil fertility through various mechanisms. The objective of this study is to analyze the soil in agroforestry lands regarding its physical and chemical properties, as well as to develop agroforestry-based land optimization strategies. The results indicate that the soil texture in Mon Village is loamy. Its chemical properties include slightly acidic soil (pH), low organic carbon (C-Organic), low total nitrogen (N-total), very low available phosphorus (P-available), and high soluble potassium (K-dd). The key factors determining the success of land optimization include: (a) Ecological aspects, such as the types of trees planted and soil fertility (i.e., soil physical and chemical properties), (b) economic aspects, including farmers’ knowledge of economic value, and (3) socio-cultural aspects, including community perception and participation, understanding of agroforestry systems, and the local wisdom of communities surrounding the forest.

Abstract

The Bukit Mangkol Grand Forest Park (Tahura) in Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, plays a vital ecological role as a biodiversity conservation area. However, rapid population dynamics in surrounding buffer zones have driven significant land cover changes within this conservation area. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics of population growth and its impact on land cover change, identify primary driving factors through Rapid Land Tenure Assessment (RaTA), and formulate resolution strategies using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating spatial analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 8 OLI, and Sentinel 2A imagery from 2013 to 2023. Results revealed that the total population of Central Bangka Regency increased by 23.6%, from 167,000 in 2013 to 206,478 in 2023. Concurrently, secondary dry forest cover declined by 23.9% (from 1,462.1 ha to 1,113.16 ha), while plantation areas expanded by 186.7% (from 218.72 ha to 627.03 ha). RaTA analysis identified three primary factors influencing land cover change: ecological (land tenure insecurity), social (population growth in buffer zones), and economic (livelihood dependency on forest resources). AHP analysis showed that ecological factors received the highest priority weight (0.665), followed by economic (0.237) and social (0.098) factors. Recommended strategies include critical land rehabilitation and law enforcement (ecological), community participation through conservation partnership (social), and development of alternative livelihoods (economic).

Abstract

Flooding is one of the most frequent hydrometeorological disasters in South Aceh Regency, particularly in Kluet Tengah Subdistrict, where overflow from the Menggamat River causes recurrent inundation of settlements, agricultural areas, and other land uses. This study aims to map flood risk spatially in Kluet Tengah Subdistrict using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based overlay approach. The analysis was conducted using land cover and slope parameters derived from satellite imagery, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, and supporting records of flood events from relevant disaster management agencies. Spatial data were processed through clipping, classification, and overlay analysis to produce flood risk categories. The results show that high-risk areas are concentrated in lowland zones with flat to gentle slopes (0–30%), particularly in settlements, rice fields, and open land. Moderate-risk areas are associated with moderately steep slopes (30–50%) dominated by mixed gardens and shrubland, while low-risk areas are mainly located in steep to very steep uplands (>50%) covered by protected forest and the Gunung Leuser National Park area. These findings indicate that the interaction between land cover and slope plays an important role in shaping flood risk distribution in the study area. The resulting flood risk map can support spatial planning, disaster mitigation, and sustainable land management in flood-prone regions of South Aceh.

Abstract

The new student admission process (PMB) often faces queue management issues, as prospective students must wait in line to submit documents, verify data, and consult staff. This study designed a user interface (UI) for a PMB queueing system at Universitas Widya Dharma Pontianak (UWDP) using the Design Thinking approach. The UI was created with Figma as an interactive prototype and later developed into a web-based application. Design Thinking consists of five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test to ensure the solution meets user needs. During empathize, interviews and observations were conducted with students and the PMB committee to identify queue-related problems. The findings were turned into user personas and problem statements in the define stage. Next, the ideate stage produced prioritized solution ideas, followed by a user interface prototype in Figma. The resulting prototype visualizes the queueing process from registration to student call-outs, featuring remote queue number retrieval, and the real-time queue display. The prototype was tested using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire with 30 prospective students. The average SUS score was 78.5, classified as "acceptable" with a grade B (Good). This indicates that the prototype has good acceptance and meets user needs in terms of ease of use and clarity of queue information. This research contributes to the development of digital queueing systems in higher education and enriches the literature on applying Design Thinking to new student admissions.

Abstract

The implementation of green marketing practices is a strategic necessity for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in facing the transition to a green economy as directed in the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). This transformation requires MSMEs to adapt through environmentally friendly product innovation, resource efficiency, and compliance with sustainability standards increasingly expected by modern consumers. However, conditions in Bekasi Regency show that most MSMEs based on industrial waste upcycling do not yet have a structured green marketing strategy and are unable to integrate sustainability principles into their business models. This challenge is exacerbated by low business understanding of green consumer behavior, minimal use of social media as a means of sustainability communication, and the lack of strategic guidelines tailored to local characteristics. This study aims to develop and validate a Green Marketing Strategy Model capable of optimizing the business sustainability of MSMEs in economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The research employed a qualitative approach using the Delphi Method involving academics, green MSME practitioners, local government, and environmental organizations. The Delphi process was conducted through several rounds to reach consensus regarding green marketing indicators and sustainability strategy priorities. The results produced a strategic model consisting of green marketing components, triple bottom line-based sustainability indicators, and digital marketing communication strategies relevant to local consumer characteristics. The study also provides practical recommendations for strengthening sustainable MSME development in Bekasi Regency and contributes theoretically to sustainability marketing practices in industrial waste upcycling businesses.

Abstract

A key question in tourism research, especially in new destinations, is how visitor experiences affect their long-term behavior. This research investigates the influence of visitor satisfaction on destination loyalty within the context of Lake Linow, Indonesia—an emerging, increasingly favored tourist destination. A quantitative methodology was employed, using data collected from 303 visitors via on-site surveys. To find out how satisfaction and loyalty are related, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used. The findings demonstrate a robust, statistically significant relationship between visitor satisfaction and destination loyalty (? = 0.835, p < 0.001), suggesting that visitors who report more favorable experiences are considerably more likely to return and endorse the destination. The model demonstrates considerable explanatory power, accounting for 69.7% of the variance in loyalty. These findings suggest that visitors tend to form loyalty intentions based on their overall experience evaluation rather than isolated attributes. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging tourism context, where such relationships remain underexplored. From a practical point of view, the results show how important it is to consistently provide visitors with satisfying experiences to encourage repeat visits and positive word of mouth. This will help tourism destinations stay competitive in the long run.
