Abstract

Place identity is a perception that comes from social actors who have knowledge, interest, or authority in that place. Moreover, it refers to the relationship between space and its identity. It emphasizes its meaning and significance for individuals that experience it. Korean restaurant In Bandung-Indonesia is a culinary or food business that combines South Korean culture as an attraction that can become the identity of the place. Bandung Wetan Sub-District in Bandung City, Indonesia, is chosen as the case study location to determine the place identity of Korean restaurants. This study aims to determine the place identity of Korean restaurants based on visitors’ perceptions by using a qualitative approach. Data is collected from in-depth interviews, field observations, and literature studies. They are processed and analyzed descriptively and spatially using verbatim categorization, map interpretation, and data triangulation. Based on the principle of place identity and visitors’ perception, the study finds that one restaurant has a place identity with a solid South Korean cultural concept of the three Korean restaurants. While the other two restaurants have a place identity that does not carry any South Korean culture, they apply modern restaurants' concept that serves Korean food.

Abstract

Geothermal plays an important role in affecting surface water quality with both positive and negative effects. It becomes an efficient renewable energy source in generating electricity without producing harmful gases. However, the presence of geothermal affects the quality of surface water in a watershed. This research is focused on the Mount Salak geothermal area which has volcanic and tectonic activity. Parameters such as electrical conductivity (measured in millisiemens/cm) were used to measure the content of minerals and dissolved compounds in the water. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measured in ppt is used to quantify dissolved solids, while water acidity (pH) indicates the acidity or basicity of the water. There are three main locations of geothermal manifestations in the Ci Pamatutan Watershed, Parakansalak District, namely Anjing Crater (Ci Pamatutan Crater), Citaman Crater (Pulasari Taman Crater), and Hot Spring Pool (Ci Seupan). The spatial pattern of hot earth manifestation refers to the reservoir point below the earth's surface 300 meters from the fault and on observation above the earth's surface is marked by a basin pattern in each crater. Spatial patterns of surface water quality were observed with reference to river segmentation and the confluence of river orders from each spring. The research conclusion found that impact of surface water quality on the community occurs when there is a flash flood event, and clean water for the community is taken from the surface flow of the Perbakti slope sub-watershed, which is not affected by the presence of geothermal manifestations.

Abstract

Sustainable rural tourism development requires integrated planning that balances environmental conservation, community participation, and local economic growth. Agro-ecotourism has emerged as an important approach to support village-based tourism development in environmentally sensitive areas. Ciputri Village in Cianjur Regency has been designated as a tourism village and possesses considerable agro-based and ecological potential. However, tourism development remains suboptimal due to limited public awareness, low visitor numbers, and fragmented strategic planning. This study aims to assess agro-ecotourism potential and to formulate priority development strategies. An integrated approach combining Participatory Geographic Information Systems (P-GIS), SWOT-based EFAS/IFAS analysis, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied. Participatory mapping involving five stakeholders identified 11 agro-ecotourism attractions. The results indicate that Ciputri Village is positioned in the Strength–Opportunity quadrant. Environmental and socio-cultural aspects emerged as the highest priorities, and a growth-oriented strategy emphasizing concentration through vertical integration was identified as the most appropriate development approach.

Abstract

Tourism is essentially a geographical phenomenon, encompassing the movement and flow of people and spatial distribution patterns relating to land use consumption. The impacts of tourism on LUCC must track and monitor regrading effected to environment and human side. For decades, Banyumas Regency has been known for its famous tourist destinations such Baturaden District and numerous waterfalls. However, the development of tourism infrastructures within its vicinity has sparked complaints from communities, particularly damaged roads and decreasing tourist visits. From environmental perspective, excessive tourism development might cause decreasing natural carrying capacity. Therefore, to provide deeper analysis regarding the current tourism development, this article describes the Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULC) in Banyumas Regency in 2000, 2010, and 2020 based on satellite data analysis using Google Earth Engine (GEE). Sentinel satellite data in 2020 were processed to generate LULC, while Landsat TM 5 data were used to provide LULC in 2000 and 2010. LULC classification was performed using Random Forest with accuracy assessment (Kappa) reach 0.81 for 2000, 0.91 for 2010, and 0.96 for 2010. Furthermore, based on CA-Markov method, the predicted LULCC in 2030 will be 84.28% unchanged and 15.72% change. In addition, several tourism development policies need to be evaluated based on the predicted LULCC in Banyumas Regency in order to avoid disturbance to natural resources.

Abstract

Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) is a key indicator for understanding regional economic structure and dynamics. Differences in sectoral contributions reflect levels of specialization, competitiveness, and growth potential, making comparative and dynamic sectoral analyses essential for regional development planning. This study aims to identify leading, supporting, potential, and lagging economic sectors using Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), and Shift Share Analysis by comparing the economic performance of South Tangerang City with Banten Province. The analysis is based on GRDP at constant prices by industrial sector for the period 2019-2023. LQ is applied to identify sectoral comparative advantages, DLQ to assess relative growth dynamics, and Shift Share Analysis to evaluate local competitiveness. The results show that South Tangerang City’s economy is predominantly driven by the tertiary sector. Business Services emerge as the only leading sector (LQ > 1 and DLQ > 1), indicating strong structural advantages and favorable growth prospects. Information and Communication, Trade, Construction, Real Estate, Education, and Health Services are classified as base but non-prospective sectors, reflecting a mature development phase. Meanwhile, Public Administration and Electricity and Gas Supply are identified as non-base yet prospective sectors.

Abstract

The Javan banteng (Bos javanicus) persists on Java mainly in a small number of protected-area strongholds, making robust climatic niche characterization important for conservation planning and for evaluating potential management or restoration targets. Here, we modeled banteng climatic suitability in southwestern Java using a MaxEnt (maxnet) framework calibrated with bioclimatic predictors from CHELSA and benchmark occurrence records from extant populations in Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP) and Alas Purwo National Park (APNP). To contextualize transferability to non-occupied protected habitat, we also projected suitability to Cagar Alam Pananjung Pangandaran (CAPP) and quantified environmental novelty using the Multivariate Environmental Similarity Surface (MESS). Univariate comparisons indicated that all eight bioclimatic variables differed significantly among UKNP, APNP, and CAPP, supporting strong site-level climatic differentiation. Tuned MaxEnt models showed good discrimination under cross-validation, and projections revealed pronounced contrasts among sites: mean suitability was low in UKNP (≈0.13), high in APNP (≈0.80), and intermediate in CAPP (≈0.48). MESS values indicated that UKNP and APNP projections largely remained within the training climatic envelope, whereas CAPP exhibited localized environmental novelty (negative MESS), implying higher extrapolation risk and greater uncertainty in inference. Overall, our results suggest that APNP currently aligns most closely with the modeled climatic niche, while CAPP may contain partially suitable conditions but requires cautious interpretation and additional ecological validation (e.g., habitat structure, disturbance, and prey–human interactions) before being considered in conservation decision-making.

Abstract

Land cover change significantly influences vegetation greenness and land surface temperature (LST), particularly in upstream watershed regions experiencing rapid development. This study aims to analyze changes in vegetation greenness (NDVI), land surface temperature, and their relationship across different land cover types in the Ciwidey Sub-Watershed, Bandung Regency, during 1990–2020. Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI images (Path/Row 122/65) acquired in July 1990, 2005, and 2020 were processed using radiometric correction, supervised classification (Maximum Likelihood), NDVI extraction, and mono-window LST algorithm. Land cover classification accuracy was assessed using confusion matrix analysis. Linear regression was applied to evaluate the relationship between NDVI and LST. Results indicate a decline in high vegetation greenness areas and an increase in very low greenness and non-vegetated areas, particularly in built-up land and mixed gardens. Surface temperature shows a consistent upward trend, with dominant temperature classes shifting from 19–21°C (1990–2005) to 22–24°C (2020). Regression analysis reveals a strong negative relationship between NDVI and LST in all observed years (1990: y = -15.113x + 20.683; 2005: y = -14.313x + 23.012; 2020: y = -10.927x + 25.175), indicating that increasing vegetation greenness reduces surface temperature. These findings confirm that vegetation degradation contributes to thermal amplification in the sub-watershed. The study highlights the importance of vegetation conservation for sustainable watershed management.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of two journal articles that assess coastal vulnerability using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI), focusing on the State of Oaxaca in Mexico and the Province of Bali in Indonesia. The comparison covers the research context, data inputs, methodological frameworks, findings, and conclusions, while also highlighting the respective strengths and limitations of each study. Both regions applied CVI methodologies to evaluate areas at risk from sea-level rise, utilizing remote sensing data and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools at a regional scale. The outcomes of this research emphasize key parameters that significantly affect coastal vulnerability. These insights can contribute to raising awareness among policymakers and stakeholders, supporting the formulation of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Moreover, the findings may serve as a foundational reference for planning and implementing sustainable coastal management initiative

Abstract

Coastal cities in Southeast Asia face dual challenges of rapid urbanization and increasing climate pressures, demanding robust integration of risk assessment into spatial planning. This study assesses the vulnerability of Bandar Lampung City's coastal area to extreme waves and abrasion, analyzing implications for its spatial plan. Using a standard hazard index and a spatial overlay against the city's Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), the research identifies a 'Medium' hazard classification across all four studied sub-districts. Crucially, this classification is not driven by significant hydrodynamic forces but is substantially amplified by anthropogenic vulnerabilities. A development-centric spatial policy has led to the dominance of residential and industrial land use on susceptible coastal typologies, coupled with a critical lack of protective vegetation. The analysis exposes a significant misalignment between planning and risk reduction, revealing a state of 'planned vulnerability' where over 400 hectares designated for future industrial and residential development lie directly within the hazard zone. This physical exposure is compounded by high social vulnerability in densely populated communities and the placement of critical public infrastructure in at-risk areas. Situated within the city's multi-hazard context including flooding, tsunamis, and accelerating climate change impacts, these findings highlight a systemic conflict between short-term development objectives and long-term resilience. The study concludes that effective adaptation requires a fundamental shift beyond project-based solutions towards the systemic integration of multi-hazard risk assessment into urban governance and spatial planning.

Abstract

TOD (Transit Oriented Development) is a concept of developing a mixed area that is integrated with transportation modes. This article aims to analyze the application of the TOD concept in the Istora-Senayan area. Research of The Application of the TOD concept in Istora Senayan area generally combines primary and secondary data. Primary data consists of field observation: recording real conditions of pedestrian paths, cycling infrastructure, transit access, land use, and connectivity. Spatial mapping/GIS analysis: mapping walking distance radius (400-800 m from station), measuring accessibility, block permeability, and connectivity (74,4% of the area within 800m walking distance to transit). Surveys: researchers interpret TOD Indicators (Walking, Cycling, transit, connectivity) into measurable variables and applying scoring methods. Interviews: using design and planning studies to understand stakeholder perspectives and land use problems.  Secondary data: Policy and regulatory documents: TOD Standard (ITDP), DKI Jakarta TOD regulations (Pergub 67/2019), and MRT Jakarta Planning Guidelines. Planning maps and land use data: Land allocation data (residential, commercial, office, etc.) to analyze development patterns and ridership potential. Literature review: Journals, Theses, and urban design documents to define TOD Variable and theoretical frameworks. Data analysis in TOD studies is generally descriptive-quantitative + spatial evaluation, supported by TOD indicator frameworks (e.g., ITDP TOD Standard and Jakarta TOD regulation). Spatial Analysis Interpretation. Spatial analysis explains the relationship between space and TOD performance. A. Walkability Coverage Analysis. 1. Buffer (400–800 m) used to measure walkable catchment. 2. Interpretation: high coverage indicates strong TOD accessibility. Land-Use Mix Analysis. When reviewed based on the concept of TOD, the MRT Istora-Senayan station is included in the TOD development area, because it meets 2 criteria, namely mixed use and proximity to transit points. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the Istora and Senayan MRT Stations have fulfilled and implemented the TOD development concept. This is evidenced by the presence of mixed land use and the integration between the MRT and BRT systems.
