Abstract

Losari Beach, a prominent tourist destination in Makassar City, faces various challenges in mobility management during major events such as the Makassar International Eight Festival Forum (F8). The surge in tourist numbers often results in traffic congestion, increased carbon emissions, and pressure on public infrastructure. This study explores the application of sustainable transport concepts to address these issues, which have become a concern for both local communities and visiting tourists during large-scale events in Makassar. Through multimodal and intermodal approaches, transportation modes such as shuttle buses, cycling lanes, and pedicabs can be integrated to create environmentally friendly systems that enhance connectivity and improve the tourist experience.The revitalization of traditional transportation, such as equipping pedicabs with electric motors, is proposed as a short-distance transportation solution that not only supports carbon emission reduction but also reinforces the cultural heritage of Makassar. Additionally, transportation demand management (TDM) measures, such as high parking fees and incentives for using eco-friendly modes, can help reduce reliance on private vehicles in the Losari Beach area. This approach also encourages local community participation in sustainable transport systems through the training of pedicab drivers as tourist guides.The findings of this study indicate that sustainable transportation management in Losari Beach requires the integration of policies, infrastructure, and technology, as well as collaboration among governments, event organizers, and local communities. Implementing this concept not only reduces the negative environmental impacts of transportation but also aims to enhance the tourism appeal of Losari Beach by providing authentic cultural experiences. Consequently, this area can serve as a successful example of a sustainable tourism destination that empowers local communities

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems play a vital role in maintaining coastal ecological balance through their biological, hydrological, and economic functions. However, increasing anthropogenic activities such as aquaculture, settlement expansion, and infrastructure development have led to environmental degradation in the mangrove areas of Kuala Langsa, Aceh. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of water and soil in three mangrove zones—ecotourism, residential, and airport areas—by measuring parameters such as temperature, oxidation-reduction potential (Eh), water and soil pH, salinity, and moisture content. Field sampling was conducted in situ in February 2024 using a purposive sampling method, while data analysis was performed descriptively and quantitatively. The results show that Station 1 (Mangrove Ecotourism Area) exhibited the best environmental conditions, with an average temperature of 30 °C, Eh of 141.67 mV, water pH of 7.14, soil pH of 6.34, salinity of 33‰, and soil moisture of 67.6%. Station 2 (Residential Area) experienced higher anthropogenic pressure, indicated by higher temperature (33.33 °C), negative Eh (-159.33 mV), and lower salinity (2‰). Meanwhile, Station 3 (Airport Area) showed stable environmental conditions with a positive Eh (115.33 mV), neutral pH, salinity of 2.5‰, and moisture of 32.33%. Overall, the Kuala Langsa mangrove ecosystem still demonstrates a good degree of ecological resilience, although some areas have experienced degradation due to human activities. This study highlights the importance of ecosystem-based adaptive management through domestic waste control, tourism activity regulation, and mangrove vegetation conservation as ecological buffer zones to sustain the environmental functions of coastal ecosystems.

Abstract

A common problem in SKI learning is the dominance of teachers as the center of the learning process, causing students to be passive and less able to understand the material presented. This condition has an impact on students’ low learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the effect of an interactive learning model using audio-visual media on students’ learning outcomes in the subject of Islamic Cultural History (SKI) for fourth-grade students at MI Nurul Hidayah Bogor. This research employed an experimental method with a quasi-experimental approach and a nonequivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of class IV A with 32 students as the experimental class and class IV B with 37 students as the control class. Data collection techniques included interviews, tests, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through validity, normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. The results of the hypothesis test using the independent sample test showed a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 0.05, with an average score of 86.45% for class IV A and 74.59% for class IV B. These results indicate that the application of an interactive learning model using audio-visual media has a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes in SKI.

Abstract

Women in ecotourism play a key role as capital to achieve sustainable development. This study aims to determine how the role of Bajo Mola women in the development of sustainable ecotourism in Wakatobi district to achieve SDGs Goal 5, namely gender equality. This study uses a qualitative approach, data collection through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants in this study were selected by purposive sampling consisting of women, government, community, traditional and religious leaders. Data analysis techniques with data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that in general there are three roles carried out by women to support the development of sustainable ecotourism, namely: (1) involved in conservation efforts, namely Bajo women are involved as supervisors in management, namely by participating in supporting the utilization of marine potential that prioritizes sustainability. (2) in the role of improving the economy of Bajo women as tour guides, developing seafood-based culinary, and producing handicrafts from marine potential, and active in marketing marine products to local markets and to various regions, for example to Kendari, West Nusa Tenggara and to Java Island. (3) The role of education and teaching in ecotourism is that Bajo women are agents as guardians of local values to each generation and educational agents through tourism activities that are rich in cultural values and environmental preservation. Ecotourism principles such as conservation, community participation, respect for local culture, education, and contribution to the local economy have been implemented by the Bajo Mola community, although they still require ongoing support from various parties. This study confirms that Bajo women have a strategic position in realizing inclusive and sustainable ecotourism. This shows that the role of women in ecotourism is very important to support the achievement of SDGs goal 5, especially target 5.1, namely gender equality in employment and economic benefits.

Abstract

Community participation plays a vital role in the management of tourist attractions. The active involvement of residents in all stages of management, from planning and implementation to evaluatio,n is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of tourism, the equitable distribution of economic benefits, and the preservation of culture and the environment. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation in managing the Tolire Kecil Beach Tourist Attraction in Takome Village, Ternate City. The method used is quantitative descriptive with a case study approach. The study sample consisted of 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through field observations and the completion of questionnaires by residents. The results indicate that community participation in tourism management at the study site falls into the “poor” category, with an overall average score of 3.16 and a percentage of 63.57%. Based on the stages, participation in planning received an average of 3.01 (60.17%), participation in implementation 3.23 (65.31%), and participation in evaluation 3.26 (65.22%). All three also fall into the “poor” category. Thus, it is concluded that community participation in the management of Tolire Kecil Beach by the Takome Village Administration remains low. To address this situation, it is recommended that the Takome Village Administration establish or empower a dedicated management team to serve as a platform for coordinating and facilitating community participation. Additionally, collaboration with the Ternate City Tourism Office is necessary to ensure that tourism management is conducted in a professional, well-planned, and sustainable manner. Residents are also encouraged to increase their awareness and take the initiative to actively participate in every stage of managing the tourist attraction.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the fact that teachers have not yet used Canva as a  learning  medium  for  geography.  Based on this  issue,  the  objective  of  this study  is  to  examine  the  use  of  Canva  as  a  medium  to  improve  learning  outcomes.  This  is  because  using  Canva  can  make  it  easier  for  teachers  to  design  their  own  learning  materials  without  spending  a  significant  amount  of  time. Additionally,  Canva offers a wide variety of attractive templates, allowing teachers to use them easily and practically without requiring basic design skills. The method used in this study is a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design, which is an experiment conducted with only one treatment or only one group without a control group; the data obtained comes from a pretest and a posttest consisting of 15 questions. The research subjects were the 25 students in Class XI IPS 3 at State Senior High School 5 in Ternate City. The results of the research data analysis indicate that there is an effect of the Canva interactive learning medium on improving the learning outcomes of students in Class XI IPS 3 at State High School 5 in Ternate City, with the t-test value showing significance (two-tailed) of 0.000 0.005; therefore, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This means that the results of the test indicate an improvement in learning outcomes when using the Canva learning medium, particularly in geography instruction.

Abstract

Groundwater is a crucial water resource for meeting community needs, especially in the Watubangga District, which has limited surface water resources. Groundwater potential cannot be directly observed because it is located beneath the Earth's surface and is influenced by geological conditions, lithology, and subsurface structures.      This study aims to analyze subsurface resistivity values using geoelectrical methods in the Watubangga District area. It also aims to determine the depth and rock layers that indicate the presence of aquifer zones. It also analyzes the lateral and vertical distribution of the water-saturated layer (aquifer zone). The Wenner configuration is used in the geoelectrical resistivity method.       The Wenner configuration is a widely used electrode configuration in the resistivity method due to its sensitivity to vertical layer changes. By measuring resistivity and interpreting the data using software such as RES2DINV, the distribution of resistivity values can be accurately mapped and provide an overview of subsurface geological conditions.             The results showed that each track exhibited a variation in resistivity values, ranging from very low (10 ohm-m) to very high (100 ohm-m). These resistivity values are used to interpret the type and condition of subsurface rocks. The resistivity distribution displayed in the cross-section indicates conductive zones at the top and middle of the track, interpreted as water-saturated layers or aquifer zones. Conversely, high resistivity zones appear at the bottom, indicating bedrock or impermeable layers. Keywords: Aquifer, Geoelectricity, Groundwater, Resistivity, Watubangga District, Wenner Configuration

Abstract

This study aims to determine the social dynamics and economic dynamics of the fishing community in Dorari Isa Village, Hiri Island District. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were local fishing communities consisting of individual fishermen, labor fishermen (crew members), and patron fishermen, selected using a random sampling technique. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques employed data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the social dynamics of the fishing community are evident in the aspect of occupation, where fishing is the primary occupation; however, they have alternative jobs as farm laborers in the clove, coconut, and nutmeg plantation sectors. The majority of fishermen have elementary and junior high school education levels due to low family economic conditions. Economically, the fishing community requires capital to develop its business. Minimal capital affects the production process, the purchase of fishing gear, and hinders their work process of going to sea. Fishermen's income remains relatively low with inadequate equipment, so that income is often not proportional to expenses. The types of fish caught include tuna, skipjack tuna, goroba, sorihi, mackerel tuna, and dolosi at various prices. In conclusion, the socio-economic dynamics of the fishing community in Dorari Isa Village still face challenges in terms of education levels, capital limitations, and low income.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model based on Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on improving students' critical thinking skills and activeness in Social Sciences (IPS) learning at SMPN 03 Kolaka. This type of research is a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of two classes, namely class VIII A as the experimental class using the PBL model based on FGD and class VIII B as the control class using the conventional learning model. Data were collected through critical thinking ability tests and student activeness observation sheets. The results showed that the implementation of the PBL model based on FGD did not have a significant difference in improving students' critical thinking skills and activeness compared to conventional learning. The reasons for this result were due to the relatively short duration of the implementation of the learning model, diverse critical thinking and communication skills, and the teacher's role as a facilitator of the discussion process that had not run optimally.
