Abstract

Trade and service area is an area that facilitates trade transactions and services between people in need (demand side) and people who sell services (supply-side). In determining trade areas and services, SMCE or Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation or spatial evaluation techniques consider many different criteria when making decisions. The method used in this paper is SMCE with Weight Overlay technique using four variables, namely roads, slopes, settlements and rivers. Weighting carried out in the analysis was made with various simulations, namely Simulation A with the same weight weighting on each variable 25%, simulation B with dominant weighting on one of the variables with a composition of 55%:15%:15%:15% and simulation C gave the highest weight to the most influential variables and gave the lowest weight to the variables that were less influential for the Trade and Service Area. In this Simulation, the road network's weight is 30%, settlements are 25%, slopes are 25%, and the rivers are 20%. The total area of 23.5 Km2 or about 8.8% of Serang City area located in the city centre with excellent accessibility, not far from residential areas, a safe distance from the river, and an area with flat marbles.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effects of human activities on the Afaka afforestation project, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Structured interview was used to evaluate the level of community involvement in the modification of the forest project, their perceived environmental effects of landcover loss. Landsat images of 1986, 1999 and Sentinel-2 image of 2017 were applied for detection of changes in land use/land cover over the years (1986-2017). The study found that the land cover structure of the forest reserve has changed significantly. In 1986, area under crop cultivation was 19.24%, built-up areas, 0.08%, disturbed forest, 7.57%, gully, 2.60%, riparian vegetation, 2.78% and undisturbed forest, 61.49%. However, by 2017, there were significant changes as the area under crop cultivation 41.18%, built-up areas 0.17%, disturbed forest, 43.17%, gully 5.6%, riparian vegetation 4.66% and undisturbed forest, 1.66%, implying intensive human impacts on the Kaduna Afforestation project in recent time. This could be traced to the increased level of poverty in the community as 75% of the respondents who cannot afford alternative energy supplies such as kerosene and National grid-based electricity, rely on felling of trees for cooking. On the perceived effects of the afforestation project modification, reduced plantation size was 60.5%, decreased soil fertility 19.5%, reduced non-timber products, 11.1%, sheet erosion 6.1%, while flooding 2.8%. The result of the chi-square test reveals significant changes in the area coverage of the forest cover classification at P<0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that the afforestation project did not meet its objectives. There is need for sustainable programmes and policies towards alleviating poverty among the inhabitants of the study area most of which depend on the forest resources for livelihood. This should be followed up with policies to encourage tree planting initiatives to promote forest restoration and ecological integrity of the study area.

Abstract

Many land changes have occurred in Indonesia, especially in developing areas, so those rural areas can turn into urban areas. These changes can be felt directly by the community and have an impact on the social economy of the surrounding population. The importance of knowing the social and economic conditions of the community to know the conditions of regional development. Therefore, this study aims to determine changes in land cover in 2014-2020 and their effect on the social economy of the population in Parakansalak District. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method with spatial and statistical analysis in it. The techniques used in data collection were questionnaires, interviews, and observations, while the data processing techniques used the Google Earth Engine platform, ArcGIS software, Excel, and SPSS. The results of the study showed that changes in land cover partially affected the socio-economic status of 51%, with the most affected being jobs and incomes of residents in the Parakansalak District. Employment is affected by 68% and income is affected by 71% of land cover changes. The land cover that changed the most was agricultural land in Bojonglongok Village and Parakansalak Village. Therefore, the occupations of the surrounding residents also changed, such as some residents becoming traders, landlords, ranchers, teachers, and so on, and eventually, it also affected their income.

Abstract

This study examines the analysis of immigration policy in South Koreans on economic growth in the Western Area of United States and explains which states have the potential to increase the economy in the Western Area of United States due to the economic contribution of South Korean immigrants. The data used are quantitative data and qualitative data. Quantitative data in the form of data on the population of the Western Area of United States per County, the number of South Korean immigrants per County, and the growth of income per capita per County. Meanwhile, qualitative data are in the form of various literature such as international news, scientific journals, government publications, as well as reports on immigration in the United States such as policies, immigration processes, economic growth, and South Korean immigrants living in the Western Area of United States. The method used is the congruent mixture method. collect and compile quantitative and qualitative data as well as obtain information from the interpretation process. The quantitative side uses a statistical test of South Korean immigrants on economic growth and uses cluster-outlier analysis in the GIS (Geographical Information System). Meanwhile, in terms of qualitative, quantitative test results will be elaborated with qualitative data by way of interpretation & triangulation of data as a whole. The results obtained are based on the highest number of South Korean immigrants where the high number of immigrants has an impact on grouping (clusters) and outliers (outliers) with high per capita income values in each county in the Western Area of United States as well from reading sources. In terms of validity, there are three locations, namely Los Angeles and Santa Clara in California, where the majority of immigrants work as business people, Honolulu in Hawaii, where the majority of immigrants work as sugarcane farmers, and King in Washington, where the majority of immigrants work as art workers and students

Abstract

This study aims to see the impact of toll road construction of the Trans Java toll road on changes in a built-up land. The data processing and analysis in this study uses a difference-in-difference approach to see the impact before and after the construction of the toll road. This study uses district/city administrative boundaries as the unit of analysis and 92 regencies or cities. The selection of locations that are the focus of the research is based on the regency/cities through which the toll road passes as well as those bordering the regency/cities through which the toll roads pass.. The results of data processing and analysis show that there is an increase in the area of built-up land by 7% when compared to regency/cities that are not passed by toll roads. From a policy perspective, the construction of the Trans Java toll road can be said to have a positive impact on the built up land. That is, the closer to access, the more economic activity and growth of built up land
