Abstract

The quality of Digital Terrain Models (DTM) from LiDAR data is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the ground filtering process, especially in areas with complex mountainous topography and dense vegetation cover. This study aims to systematically analyze and compare the quality of DTMs generated from three different processing schemes, namely Raw DTM, Simple Outlier Elimination DTM (ELM), and Cloth Simulation Filter DTM (CSF), using LiDAR point cloud data on Mount Aso, Japan. The methods used involved ground filtering using CSF and ELM, followed by IDW interpolation, as well as descriptive statistical evaluation and Hillshade visualization with enhanced Z Factor. The ELM filter proved ineffective in producing statistics identical to the raw DTM, while CSF successfully reduced the average elevation from 130.73 m to 124.06 m and confirmed that vegetation noise was eliminated. In complex terrains, future LiDAR research should prioritize adaptive algorithms like CSF over simple statistical filters to ensure higher accuracy in digital terrain representation.

Abstract

Population growth projection in Bombana Regency up to 2045 is important because population increase is not accompanied by an even spatial distribution across sub-districts, which may lead to different levels of regional pressure in the long term. Population projection based on arithmetic and exponential growth models integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is applied to describe variations in the spatial patterns of population growth at the sub-district level and to identify differences in projection results under different growth assumptions. Knowledge of population growth trends and spatial distribution is required to assess the direction of population development in the central to western parts of Bombana Regency, which grow faster than coastal and island areas, as a basis for long-term regional and spatial planning.

Abstract

Penajam Paser Utara (PPU) Regency has a strategic position due to its proximity to the Nusantara Capital City and is supported by diverse natural and cultural tourism potential. However, the development of the tourism sector in this region is still constrained by the limited availability of systematically and spatially integrated data and information on tourism site locations. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of tourism objects in PPU Regency using a Geographic Information System (GIS). This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with descriptive and spatial analysis. The results indicate that there are 18 tourism sites consisting of 9 natural attractions, 8 artificial attractions, and 1 cultural attraction, distributed across four districts: Penajam, Babulu, Waru, and Sepaku. GIS-based mapping is able to present the spatial distribution of tourism objects in a visual, informative, and easily accessible manner, thereby supporting tourists, local communities, and regional governments in tourism planning and development.

Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has emerged as a central strategy for addressing interconnected environmental, social, and economic challenges under Sustainable Development Goal 4. While geography education is widely acknowledged as inherently aligned with sustainability principles, limited analytical attention has been given to the structural conditions that shape its transformative capacity. This study critically examines the role of geography education in advancing ESD within contexts marked by persistent educational inequalities. Using a qualitative and conceptual research design based on systematic document analysis of academic literature and international policy reports (2010–2024), the study synthesizes evidence on sustainability competencies, spatial pedagogy, and global education disparities. The findings indicate that geography education contributes to the development of systems thinking, anticipatory competence, normative reflection, and strategic action through spatial inquiry, place-based learning, and geospatial tools. However, its effectiveness is structurally mediated by inequalities in access, teacher preparation, curriculum flexibility, and institutional support. The study advances a conceptual framework positioning geography education as a mediating structure between educational inequality and sustainability competence formation. It concludes that strengthening geography pedagogy, teacher capacity, and equitable institutional conditions is essential for translating ESD from policy aspiration into transformative educational practice.

Abstract

The urgency of optimizing maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in semi-arid regions like the River Watari basin depends heavily on aligning soil physical characteristics with appropriate cultivar selection to ensure regional food security. This study evaluates soil texture and maize cultivar suitability within irrigated agro-ecologies by analyzing 54 soil samples for physicochemical properties, including soil pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, exchangeable bases, and organic carbon. The research identified that the area is predominantly characterized by loamy and sandy loam soils, which are moderately suitable for maize production. Seven major cultivars, including hybrid and open-pollinated varieties, were identified. Results reveal clear relationships between soil texture and distribution: hybrid varieties are concentrated in well-drained sandy loam, while early maturing cultivars are common in clay-rich soils with higher moisture retention. These findings emphasize that soil texture critically determines cultivar performance and farmer selection strategies. Integrating soil suitability evaluation into extension services is essential for yield stability and sustainable irrigation planning in northern Nigeria.

Abstract

Learning remote sensing at the high school level remains relatively challenging for students due to the scarcity of interactive and contextual learning media. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop media capable of enhancing both students' understanding and interest in remote sensing technology. This study discusses the design and development of a web-based geography learning medium focused on remote sensing, alongside the identification of instructional models suitable for its integration. The development process follows the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The media incorporates five parameters representing satellite imagery utilization: true-color composites, false-color composites, land use, vegetation indices, and surface temperature. This platform is highly compatible with the Project Based Learning model, enabling students to utilize satellite data for problem-solving activities. In terms of Bloom’s Taxonomy, the application of this learning media reaches the higher-order thinking levels of C4, C5, and C6. This developed medium is expected to serve as a pivotal tool for teachers in delivering remote sensing material and to empower students to explore natural phenomena.

Abstract

Climate change has significantly increased the intensity and frequency of disasters, thereby exacerbating community vulnerability, particularly in coastal areas. In this context, the Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) approach through mangrove ecosystem restoration is considered to have substantial potential in supporting disaster mitigation and climate change adaptation. However, the implementation of NbS in many countries, including Malaysia, continues to face challenges related to governance, financing, technical capacity, and policy integration between infrastructure development and environmental conservation. This study aims to enhance understanding of the implementation of NbS for disaster mitigation and climate change adaptation, with a particular emphasis on mangrove ecosystem restoration as a priority strategy. The study was conducted in Malaysia, a developing country actively implementing NbS initiatives for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. This research employed a literature review and policy review approach to analyze previous studies, evaluate NbS implementation, and identify its effectiveness and associated challenges. The findings reveal that mangrove ecosystem restoration represents an effective NbS strategy for reducing coastal disaster risks while simultaneously strengthening ecosystem and community resilience in a sustainable manner. The study also identifies a policy gap between hard infrastructure development approaches and environmental conservation, resulting in climate adaptation measures that remain insufficiently integrated. In addition, the effectiveness of NbS implementation is influenced by adaptive strategy planning based on scientific evidence, mangrove ecosystem protection that considers ecological aspects, and multi-stakeholder collaboration involving governments, academics, the private sector, civil society, and the media. This study is expected to provide valuable lessons learned and best practices that can be replicated in the development of disaster-resilient cities and in supporting sustainable climate change adaptation efforts.

Abstract

Land cover in the Katingan Hilir KPHP Unit XXX Forest Area has experienced a decline in forest function due to land conversion for agriculture, plantations, and illegal mining. This study aims to analyze land cover changes in the UPT KPHP Katingan Hilir Unit XXX forest area based on Geographic Information Systems in 2000, 2010, and 2020. The analysis was conducted using overlay techniques and field validation through ground truthing. The results showed that in 2000, natural forest covered 149,676.80 ha (59.77%), declining to 127,254.95 ha (50.82%) in 2010, then slightly increasing to 130,145.92 ha (51.97%) in 2020. The deforestation rate during 2000–2010 reached 2,038.35 ha/year (1.36%), slowing to 321.22 ha/year (0.25%) during 2011–2020. Cumulatively, the deforestation rate from 2000 to 2020 was 976.54 ha/year (0.65%). Oil palm plantation expansion and mining were identified as the primary drivers of land cover change. The findings indicate significant anthropogenic pressure on the forest area, necessitating more targeted and sustainable area management.

Abstract

Limited quantitative data and a 7% annual rate of seagrass degradation hamper efforts to optimize Indonesia’s blue carbon absorption potential within global climate change mitigation strategies. This study aims to quantify seagrass blue carbon stock and project its future dynamics in Teluk Saleh, West Nusa Tenggara. Seagrass distribution from 2019 to 2025 was mapped using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification approach. Carbon stock projections until 2035 were conducted using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model. The results show significant temporal variability, with carbon stocks decreasing by approximately 16,000 tons (2022) and then increasing by 36,000 tons (2023). Projected peak recovery potential is approaching 50,000 tons (2028), but this projection remains sensitive to ongoing anthropogenic pressures. These findings underscore the importance of blue carbon quantification in supporting data-driven coastal management and climate mitigation policies, and highlight its potential to inform sustainable, non-extractive economic pathways.

Abstract

Climate change education is crucial for sustainable development and informed environmental decision-making, particularly in highly climate-sensitive contexts such as Kerala, India. Formalizing education to strengthen student awareness is important. Nonetheless, experiential and data-driven approaches are not yet adequately integrated into school systems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of climate change education programs in enhancing awareness, understanding, and engagement among higher secondary school students in Kerala. The study used a random sampling method mixed with methodologies from all 14 districts. Between December 2023 and May 2024, data were collected from 240 government schools with weather stations, using a structured questionnaire that elicited responses from 1,514 students, and were supported by multivariate analysis. The findings identified three key dimensions: perceived climate change impacts and disaster experience, climate change awareness and education, and the influence of weather station data on student engagement. The perception levels among students with direct experience of the disaster were significantly higher than those of students with no exposure. The three components accounted for 31.48%, 21.89%, and 18.59% variance, respectively. Noticing changes in the weather (0.99), knowledge of the climate (0.96), and climate education (0.95) exhibited high factor loadings. Classroom use of weather station data was more effective in engaging students and helping them understand than informal use. The study concludes that incorporating localized climate data into the curriculum enhances students’ climate literacy. The need for improved monitoring infrastructure and technology-based education to support more effective climate education and sustainable youth participation is emphasized.
