Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze the feasibility of honeybee cultivation attractions as an object for developing educational ecotourism and to formulate strategies for developing the “Honey Picking” educational tourism package at Ir. H. Djuanda Grand Forest Park (Tahura), Bandung. Methods: This research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires distributed to visitors using purposive sampling, while secondary data were gathered from literature reviews and relevant supporting documents. Data analysis was carried out using the SWOT method to identify internal and external factors influencing the development of the tourism package. Findings: The results show that the honey-picking educational ecotourism program has strong internal strengths and favorable external conditions, with IFAS and EFAS scores of 3.03 and 2.89, placing it in Quadrant I. Interactive educational activities, natural attractions, accessibility, and community support drive growth, while improvements in digital promotion, management capacity, and safety standards are required to ensure sustainable development. Conclusion: The study concludes that the “Honey Picking” educational ecotourism package holds strong potential to be developed as a sustainable conservation-based educational tourism model. This activity not only increases visitors’ knowledge and environmental awareness but also provides economic and social benefits for local communities and supports biodiversity conservation efforts in the Ir. H. Djuanda Grand Forest Park area, Bandung. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in its development of an interactive “Honey Picking” edu-ecotourism concept based on honeybee cultivation, which has not previously been explored in the context of Tahura Ir. H. Djuanda. Additionally, the study offers a strategic, data-driven framework using SWOT analysis to guide the creation of sustainable conservation-based educational tourism packages.

Abstract

Background: Proper household waste management is essential to maintain environmental quality, especially in densely populated areas such as student boarding houses. University students, as part of the educated population, play a crucial role in promoting sustainable waste practices. However, the gap between environmental awareness and actual waste management behavior among students remains a significant challenge. Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative survey approach to analyze the awareness and attitudes of Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) students living in boarding houses toward household waste management. Data were collected through a self-administered online questionnaire distributed to 53 respondents and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Findings: The results revealed that most respondents demonstrated high awareness of environmental and household waste issues, with more than 80% agreeing or strongly agreeing that waste sorting and recycling are essential. Nevertheless, their active participation in implementing waste management practices was still limited, mainly due to lack of facilities and motivation. Conclusion: The findings indicate that while awareness and attitudes are generally positive, the translation of this awareness into consistent waste management behavior remains inadequate. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a focused analysis of environmental awareness and attitudes within the context of student boarding life, offering insight into behavioral gaps that can inform targeted environmental education and campus sustainability programs. However, this study is limited by its relatively small sample size and descriptive focus, which may affect the generalization of the findings. Despite this, the results provide practical implications for developing targeted environmental programs and waste management initiatives within university student communities.

Abstract

Background: Local wisdom remains a vital foundation for social harmony and moral formation in plural societies, yet its relevance is increasingly challenged by globalization and cultural shifts among youth. One of the most prominent local philosophies of the To Kaili community in Palu City is Nosarara Nosabatutu, which emphasizes unity, brotherhood, togetherness, and collective responsibility. Previous studies have largely positioned this philosophy as a cultural identity or conflict-resolution mechanism, while its role in youth character education has not been sufficiently examined. This study aims to analyze the meaning of Nosarara Nosabatutu in a plural social context, identify challenges in preserving its values, and examine its role in shaping youth character. Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with four key informants consisting of cultural figures, historians, educators, and academics, supported by document analysis and interpretative thematic analysis. Findings: The findings show that Nosarara Nosabatutu functions as a living social philosophy that strengthens solidarity and social cohesion, yet its transmission is hindered by weakening intergenerational communication, diverse linguistic interpretations, limited institutional reinforcement, and cultural transformation driven by modernization. The study further reveals that the values embedded in this philosophy are closely aligned with character education goals, particularly in fostering empathy, cooperation, social responsibility, and peaceful interaction among youth. These results demonstrate a strong correspondence between local wisdom theory and character formation practices within educational and social settings. Conclusion: In conclusion, Nosarara Nosabatutu has a strategic role in youth character education when integrated across family, school, and community environments. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in positioning Nosarara Nosabatutu not merely as a cultural symbol, but as a context-based character education framework that is adaptable to contemporary plural societies.

Abstract

Background: The Mangupa-Upa tradition is part of the traditional ceremonies of the Batak Mandailing people, rich in cultural values, spirituality, and ecological symbolism. Amid global challenges such as environmental degradation and the crisis of cultural identity, an educational approach that integrates local knowledge is becoming increasingly relevant. This study aims to reconstruct elements of the Mangupa-Upa tradition into contextual biology learning resources that align with the direction of the Independent Curriculum and the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Methods: The method used is a systematic literature review of various primary sources, including journal articles, scientific books, policy documents, and local cultural texts. The analysis was conducted thematically with a descriptive qualitative approach. Findings: The results of the study indicate that pangupa materials, such as betel, fish from seven rivers, old goats, and banana leaves, have symbolic meanings that can be reconstructed into scientific concepts in biology, such as biodiversity, the digestive system, the excretory system, plant and animal morphology, and the locomotion system. This integration of local knowledge supports the ethnopedagogical and ESD approaches, by instilling cultural values, environmental conservation, and strengthening local identity in the learning process. Furthermore, the reconstruction results indicate that a single local tradition can generate various biology learning topics relevant to the learning outcomes of phases E and F in the Independent Curriculum. Conclusion: The implications of this research suggest that transforming scientific knowledge into local forms such as Mangupa-Upa can be an effective pedagogical strategy to bridge the epistemological gap in formal education. This tradition serves not only as a cultural heritage but also as a transformative learning medium that strengthens students' scientific understanding in a contextual, participatory, and sustainable manner. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in reconstructing the Mangupa-Upa tradition into contextual biology learning resources aligned with the Independent Curriculum and ESD, demonstrating how a single local tradition generates multiple scientific learning themes.
