Abstract

Women’s mobility in urban spaces is often constrained by gender norms, yet solo travel creates opportunities to renegotiate care, identity, and everyday geographies across multiple scales of mobility. This study examines 25 cases of Indonesian women’s international solo travel as an extension of the care economy, drawing on feminist epistemology and a narrative approach. Solo travel is a form of self-care that restores emotional balance, fosters resilience, and affirms women’s right to time and space. It functions as a spatial negotiation of access to public space, mobility, and autonomy across multiple scales, from household constraints to transnational journeys. The Indonesian context adds distinctive dimensions were cultural and religious norms, expectations of modesty, and family negotiations intersect with urbanization, middle-class expansion, and global exposure to shape how women claim legitimacy in mobility. This study represents both a personal and spatial practice of resistance, enriching Global South debates on the care economy and Geography.

Abstract

The SDGs 4 agenda emphasizes equitable education through digital technology, which, although helpful in visualizing the geosphere concept in Geography learning, is still hampered by infrastructure and digital literacy in non-urban schools. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of digital technology-based Geography learning at Senior High School 18 Bone. The research instrument was a dichotomous questionnaire, while the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 74% of students were interested in digital technology-based learning, 81.2% considered the learning useful, 77.2% felt the technology was easy to use, and 72.4% responded positively to the availability of supporting facilities. These results confirm that the application of digital technology contributes to the achievement of SDGs 4, particularly in targets 4.1 (improving the quality of learning), 4.4 (strengthening digital literacy), 4.7 (environmental awareness and spatial thinking), and 4.a (availability of inclusive learning facilities). Thus, digital technology-based Geography learning in non-urban schools is considered effective and relevant in supporting sustainable education.

Abstract

Water is an essential resource that supports various life needs, but increasing demand due to population growth and land use changes is often not commensurate with its availability. This study aims to analyze the potential water deficit at the sub-district level by considering the dynamics of land use changes and projections of future water needs in the Way Seputih Watershed area. The analysis was carried out with reference to the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 17 of 2009 through calculations of water carrying capacity based on a comparison between water availability and demand. Land use conversion from agriculture to built-up areas in the central and southern parts of the watershed triggers a decrease in water availability and increases pressure on water resources, indicated by a decreasing trend in carrying capacity, the dominance of deficit conditions, an increasingly critical water use index, and a per capita water availability index that has reached absolute scarcity. These findings underscore the importance of sustainable land use planning and water resource management in maintaining the ecological balance of the Way Seputih Watershed.

Abstract

Watersheds play a crucial role in the ecohydrological system. However, land use change has reduced the hydrological function and water quality in many rural areas. This study aims to analyze the hydrological characteristics and water quality of the Ci Jarian River. The river discharge measurement method at six locations using the velocity-area method was applied and accompanied by water quality analysis based on Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, and Electrical Conductivity (EC) parameters. The Ci Jarian River has an influent-intermittent flow type with a dendritic pattern and variations in valley morphology from a V-shape in the upstream to a U-shape in the downstream. The flow rate ranges from 43-286 m3/s at all observation points. TDS and EC values ​​increase from upstream to downstream, indicating the accumulation of dissolved substances due to agricultural runoff and domestic waste. Meanwhile, the pH tends to be neutral to slightly alkaline (6.8-8.5), which is still within the category of suitable water according to the Minister of Health and WHO Regulations. This study emphasizes the importance of watershed management based on sustainable land use in rural areas.

Abstract

Tegalsari Village is known for its numerous hot spring sources utilized as bathing tourism attractions. The use of geothermal hot springs has caused environmental pollution affecting both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, while information on their impacts and management remains very limited. This study aims to 1) analyze the impact of hot spring bathing activities on terrestrial and aquatic environmental conditions, 2) identify the factors causing environmental degradation, and 3) formulate appropriate management strategies. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation and interviews. The results indicate that hot spring bathing activities have a significant impact on environmental quality degradation. The main contributing factors are high temperature, low pH, heavy metal content, and anthropogenic activities. The recommended environmental management strategies include planning, control, restoration, and maintenance efforts.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the tourism sector has increased the need for equitable, accessible, and supportive healthcare facilities. This study aims to analyze the spatial accessibility of healthcare facilities and assess the suitability of new development locations in relation to the physical, social, and infrastructural conditions of the region. The method used combines Network analysis to assess service coverage and access efficiency, and Spatial Multicriteria Analysis (SMCA) with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach to assign weights to eight location-determining criteria. The distribution of healthcare facilities in South Kuta District is uneven, with an average distance of 2,217.89 meters between tourist attractions and healthcare facilities. Pecatu and Kutuh Villages have low accessibility to healthcare services. Pecatu Village and Kutuh Village have low accessibility to health services, while Jimbaran Subdistrict and Pecatu Village are the areas with the highest level of suitability for health facility development. The integration of Network analysis and SMCA–AHP has proven effective in supporting the sustainability of healthcare-based tourism areas in South Kuta.

Abstract

Anthropogenic activities significantly modify the River Tungu and Nithi sub-catchment, influencing biodiversity and ecological balance. This prompts a need for a thorough understanding of their effects for effective conservation efforts.  This study aims to map the influence of anthropogenic activities on land use change by integrating remote sensing with non-parametric statistical tests within the Tungu-Nithi sub-watershed. This research employs the meta-ecosystem perspective theory as its conceptual basis and utilizes mixed-methods research design. The results showed that vegetation cover and settlements increased by 19.1% and 6.7%, respectively. Conversely, there was a decrease in bare land, road networks, river area, and other land uses by 6.0%, 12.5%, 2.2%, and 5.8%, respectively. The chi-square test revealed a significant influence of anthropogenic factors on land use change, with a p-value of 0.001. The government needs to develop an integrated land use plan and strengthen collaboration to raise public awareness and encourage sustainable land use practices through environmental education.

Abstract

Accelerating global climate change and increasing pressure to fulfill commitments under the Paris Agreement have positioned the effectiveness of national carbon mitigation policies as a critical policy issue for developing countries. This review article compares carbon mitigation policies in Egypt and Indonesia, both of which face similar challenges but operate within different governance contexts. The study employs a descriptive comparative analysis based on a systematic review of national climate strategies, legal frameworks, renewable energy policies, sustainable transport initiatives, private sector engagement, and climate finance mechanisms. Both countries have achieved significant policy progress; however, the effectiveness of carbon mitigation remains constrained by governance challenges, particularly policy coordination, bureaucratic efficiency, and implementation capacity. This study argues that a hybrid policy approach combining Egypt’s regulatory strengths with Indonesia’s long-term planning framework has the potential to enhance carbon mitigation effectiveness. These findings provide policy-relevant implications for other developing countries seeking to strengthen climate governance and accelerate progress toward global emission reduction targets.

Abstract

Urban sprawl refers to the unplanned expansion of urban areas, typically leading to inefficient land use and environmental degradation. This study analyzes the impact of urban sprawl on the Rupingazi River ecosystem between 1989 and 2019 using Landsat satellite imagery. Analysis of NDBI values revealed a consistent distinction between built-up and non-built-up areas, with built-up surfaces recording higher positive values across all periods. The findings show a significant transformation within Embu County. In 1989, non-built-up land and vegetation dominated the landscape at 4.7 km2 (70.47%). By 1999, this declined to 4.46 km2 (56.89%) as built-up areas expanded to 3.38 km2 (43.11%). A critical shift occurred in 2009, when built-up areas (4.58 km2; 51.93%) overtook natural cover (48.07%) for the first time. By 2019, urban surfaces reached 6.04 km2 (68.17%), leaving only 31.83% natural cover. These trends necessitate stricter zoning enforcement, riparian buffer protection, and compact development strategies. Urban planners must integrate geospatial monitoring to mitigate environmental pressure on the Rupingazi riverine ecosystem.

Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that affects many aspects of life, including rainfall and temperature patterns, which are often influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Papua, with its varied geographical and topographic characteristics, makes it an appropriate region for studying climate variability between coastal and mountainous areas. This study aims to understand climate variability in Papua by analysing differences in rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind patterns between the two regions in the period 2007 to 2020. The method used in this study is comparative descriptive analysis, using data from the Wamena Meteorological Station and the Dok II Jayapura Meteorological Station. The data includes daily weather observations processed into monthly data, including rainfall parameters, temperature, humidity, direction, and wind speed. Mountainous areas have relatively more stable wind patterns than coastal areas, while ENSO and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) variability affect changes in wind circulation and water vapor distribution. These conditions are associated with decreased rainfall during El Niño and IOD+ phases and increased rainfall during La Niña and IOD- phases.
