Abstract

River pollution is one of the major threats to the environment worldwide, especially in developing countries such as Malaysia. Although numerous actions, policies and efforts to alleviate river pollution, the issue continues to hurt Malaysia’s environmental sustainability. Based on the case study of the Inanam-Likas river basin situated on the western coast of the state of Sabah, in East Malaysia, this paper proposes an integration of a more inclusive approach toward communities in river management. This paper suggests the inclusion approach in river management by squatter communities who are residents along the riverbanks as part of the stakeholders alongside governmental and non-governmental agencies. As such, this study introduces this approach as a community-based to the river management policy facilitated by the local authorities and other relevant agencies. Without community support, effective mitigation strategies and relevant policy toward river management, river pollution will continue to threaten environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Water is an indispensable need for all living beings, including humans, who require this vital resource for consumption, bathing, and agricultural irrigation. One of the sources of clean water is groundwater, which meets 80% of the drinking needs. However, only 82.1% of the population in Central Java has access to clean water, while the remaining 17.9% have limited accessibility. This condition was caused by the prevalence of droughts, particularly in Rembang Regency, indicating that several efforts are needed to overcome this problem. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the groundwater potential in Rembang Regency using remote sensing and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. The remote sensing technique was used to determine the lithology, hydrogeology, lineament density, slope, rainfall, vegetation cover, and land use of the area, while the AHP method was utilized to assess groundwater potential. The results showed that the hydrogeology parameter had the greatest influence with a weight of 21.8%, followed by lithology (15.8%), rainfall (15.1%), vegetation cover (13.5%), land use (10.9%), lineament density (14%), and slope (9.4%). These findings were then validated with existing points of interest, including dug wells, deep wells, and reservoirs. The analysis results showed that the study area can be divided into 4 zones based on the groundwater potential, namely very low (1.2 – 2.24), low (2.24 – 3.48), moderate (3.48 – 4.72), and high (4.72 – 5.96) with areas of 0.19 km2, 234.8 km2,173.4 km2, and 51.9 km2, respectively. Furthermore, based on the validation, 90 out of 108 (83%) interest points were in line with the groundwater potential map zones.

Abstract

Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions during photosynthesis. Covering more areas with trees will increase the CO2 absorption capacity more substantially than other vegetation like bushes, grasses, or rice fields. Trees convert the CO2 captured during photosynthesis into organic carbon to be stored in biomass. Woody trees account for approximately 60% of the total aboveground tree biomass, and trunks, where food reserves produced in photosynthesis are stored, have relatively large biomass compared to other parts of the tree. The biomass of a vegetation stand determines the optimization of air pollutant absorption in urban areas. Yogyakarta City is the center for tourism, education, and cultural activities in Indonesia, which is vulnerable to land-use conversion, a factor of the shrinking green space. This study aimed to estimate carbon stock from vegetation biomass in Yogyakarta City using the remote sensing product SPOT-7 imagery. To calculate the vegetation biomass, the diameter at breast height (DBH) of stands was measured in the field. Then, statistical analyses were performed to determine the correlation and regression between the actual or observed biomass and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value derived from the SPOT-7 image. The regression model used was y = 1.4277x – 0.0849. The total biomass produced in Yogyakarta City was estimated at 1,399,487.1 tonnes, which contained 643,764.1 tonnes of carbon stock.

Abstract

The change in land-use/land-cover (LULC) is one of the physical factors in urban development and the rapid growth in population has necessitates the need for space, driven by high socio-economic activities. Banyumas is a regency that had experienced rapid population growth in the last two decades, establishing an activity and service center in the Barlingmascakeb region. This rapid population growth has led to massive changes in LULC. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the changes in LULC in 2000 and 2020 to determine the direction of urban development in Banyumas Regency within 20 years. Multispectral classification with a Maximum Likelihood algorithm was used to extract LULC information from Landsat images. The changes obtained by crosstab analysis on the multispectral classification results were used as a reference to observe the direction of urban development. This procedure used four quadrants according to the cardinal directions and Standard Deviational Ellipse (SDE). The result showed that LULC in the forest class experienced the highest change of 142,584.3 km², accounting for 48%. Based on the increase in built-up land over 20 years, the direction of urban development according to the cardinal directions showed that the most dominant increase was in quadrant II (Southeast), which is 56.44% or 21.95 km². It was concluded that the direction of urban development was oriented toward the southeast.

Abstract

Settlement as a place to live is one of the main needs that need to be met for the survival of human life. The need for settlement will increase along with the increase in population. The development of settlements in Sewon District. Bantul, Indonesia which is very dynamic requires monitoring to ensure that the distribution of settlements is in accordance with the spatial pattern plan that has been determined by the local government. Imagery as a remote sensing product which is then processed with the help of GIS [HV1] can be used in monitoring the distribution of settlements because it can provide more detailed information regarding land use, including settlements. This research aims to evaluate the distribution of settlements against the detailed spatial plan (RDTR) for the Sewon Urban Area (BWP) of Bantul Regency in 2018-2038. This study uses visual interpretation techniques of SPOT-7 PMS imagery in mapping existing settlement land, field surveys, and GIS processing. The research results show that mapping settlement land using imagery produces an overall accuracy of 95.20%. The settlement evaluation shows that there is a suitability of settlement land with the detailed spatial plan reaching 579.88 hectares or 87.26%, while the settlement land that is not in accordance with the detailed spatial plan is 9.62 hectares or 1.45%, and the settlement land that is temporarily not in accordance with the detailed spatial plan is 75.05 hectares or 11.29% of the total settlement area in Sewon District. Local governments must pay more attention to existing settlements with regular monitoring so that the existing settlements that are not in accordance with the detailed spatial plan will not expand.

Abstract

Border  management  has,  on  the  one  hand,  grown  beyond  the  conceptual  limit  that  is  the terminological definition of borders as lines separating countries to also factor in their development as areas. On the other, it should aim to strengthen state sovereignty and improve the welfare of its citizens. Tese ofen lead to the dichotomy between security and prosperity in border management approaches. Regionalism is an approach used to create regional integration across national borders, but this concept is strongly influenced by  the  interests  of  states  on  each  side  of  the  border.  Terefore,  this  research  explores  if  spatial  interaction between border communities is controlled by the regionalism concept introduced by the state or, instead, grows organically  as  part  of  regionalization  due  to  livelihoods  that  require  border  crossings.  It  used  a  case  study of Sebatik Island in the Indonesia-Malaysia border area. Te qualitative research design applied exploratory principles on the spatial interaction pattern formed between border communities and then synthesized the identified  units  of  information  on  transboundary  activities  while  considering  government-issued  policies on border management. Results showed that regionalism was only minimally implemented in managing the border  area.  It  means  that  border  landscapes  in  Indonesia  are  organically  formed  on  the  micro-scale  even though the perspective of regionalism has long been adopted at the regional level, i.e., ASEAN.

Abstract

The coastal region is characterized by dynamic changes in its coastline, which can be attributed to various factors. However, the main causes of change along the Gresik coast have yet to be thoroughly studied. Therefore, this research aims to examine the patterns of coastline change along the Gresik coast around the Madura Strait and the influence of wind-generated waves on them. Specifically, the study focuses on four coastal zones: Ujung Pangkah, Sidayu, Bungah, and Manyar districts. The research utilizes satellite imagery and geographic information systems (GIS) as well as methods for calculating ocean waves to analyze the coastline change patterns. The study also examines the impact of ocean wave energy on coastal abrasion and accretion. The findings revealed that the accretion rate in the study area was higher than the erosion rate. The accretion in the coastal area of Gresik is attributed to the flow of the Bengawan Solo River, which carries sediment from upstream. The accretion and abrasion areas for the entire period from 2002 to 2019 were 1063.16 ha and 425.23 ha, respectively. The study also found that the mangrove areas exhibit a higher rate of accretion than abrasion, indicating their potential as a reliable indicator of the effects of sea level rise resulting from global warming.This study revealed that the northern part of Ujung Pangkah District and Bungah District experienced the highest abrasion patterns, whereas no abrasion was observed in Sidayu District. Between 2002 and 2019, the abrasion areas in Ujung Pangkah and Bungah districts totaled 243.96 ha and 178.29 ha, respectively. Wind-generated waves were likely the primary cause of the abrasion in these areas, though other factors may also have contributed to coastline changes. It is essential to consider these factors for effective coastal management in the region.

Abstract

The Merapi eruption in 2010 and 1975 caused lahar floods on the Progo River segment in Kulon Progo. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of river morphology changes that are affected by two lahar floods. Temporal images representing the two lahar flood events up to several years later were used to see river morphology changes. Temporal data from remote sensing and UAV is able to indicate the morphological change of river valleys in the study area. The analysis was carried out based on the parameters of river slope, riverbank morphology, and river curvature. The river slope is 0.74% which means the slope is flat. This condition gives a consequence of the river's meandering morphology. The morphology of the riverbank has the "U" shape, providing more surface area for river water to drain. The sinuosity ratio (SR) is dynamic during two lahar flood periods. In the 2010 lahar flood period, the SR pre-lahar flood was 1.92, increased significantly to 2.65 eight months post-lahar flood, and decreased significantly to 1.60 one year later. Lahar floods are the main factor causing these dynamics in this period. The annual SR for the next ten years is always changing but the fluctuations are more stable and tend to decrease. The SR's fluctuations in this period provide evidence that the river morphology is always changing even without major triggers. In the 1975 lahar flood period, the SR value was known from the PBB maps three years pre-events, five years post-events, and Google Earth images ten years post-events. The SR in this period fluctuated, and the meander became simpler at ten years post-events. The results of this paper provide evidence that spatial analysis with temporal images is more efficient and economical for studying river morphological dynamics.

Abstract

Geoinformatics is spatial information based on characteristics and analysis regarding spatial data. Water is the main component of human life with clean water, especially drinking water found from various sources, including spring water. Water quality is a global standard as a chemical, physical, and biological parameter. The study aims to determine the potential spring water based on spatial analysis of water quality standards for potential use. The method used to determine the potential utilization of springs using geographic information system analysis. Data is based on the difference in height, slope, and distance from springs to settlements and discharge. Water quality samples are analyzed using mobile and laboratory tests. The result found that physical parameters from five locations, Sirah Citanggulun, Cikerebek, Cijati, Cijati 2, and Galumpit, have good quality to meet the utilization requirements, especially for water designation class. Chemically parameters, water quality, is relatively good based on several parameters such as pH, Nitrite, dissolved iron, and zinc, which do not exceed the required quality standard threshold. The biological parameters, five samples are contaminated by bacteria Escherichia coli and total coliform. Regarding the literature review, this research found that biological contaminants are unsuitable for drinking water, but it is still good to become another used. The research concluded that the spring water in a small village could become potential uses for drinking water based on the parameter of water quality for daily use, especially for drinking water, regarding biological parameters that spring water must be boiled to drink.

Abstract

Based on previous observations, a series of steps using digital image processing methods is proposed for the automatic detection and counting of islands to avoid inaccuracies from satellite imagery by leveraging morphological properties of object. The need for accurate spatial data regarding the number of islands in Indonesia is crucial for various developmental purposes. Many small islands known to have beautiful landscapes remain unaccounted for due to the vast territorial waters of the country, posing challenges to manual evaluation of the numbers and distributions. Remote sensing methods offer a viable solution for efficiently counting and inventorying islands. Therefore, this study aimed to detect islands in Kepulauan Seribu, located north of DKI Jakarta, through the thresholding-based segmentation process and count the total number using morphological information. The methodology applied was Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA), including image gray-scaling, thresholding, morphological operations, connected component labeling, and region-based object counting. The results obtained showed 111 islands, compared to direct observation of image from which 104 were found, with detection accuracy of 93.27%. The discovery not only contributes valuable insights into the specific region but also serves as a basis for potentially applying digital image processing methods on a larger scale to recalculate the number of Indonesian islands. Such recalculations could play a crucial role in informing and guiding future developmental initiatives.
