Abstract

Urban tourism policy in emerging Southeast Asian cities tends to operate along separate tracks. Heritage preservation, destination marketing, MSME development, and employment policy seldom intersect in practice, even when planning documents gesture toward coordination. This study examines whether a more deliberate form of policy integration, one anchored to the economic priorities residents actually hold, can offer a sturdier path for cities such as Surabaya than the prevailing sector-by-sector orthodoxy. The study combines a quantitative survey of 800 Surabaya residents conducted during October 2024 (multistage random sampling, margin of error ±3.5 percent, 95 percent confidence level) with documentary analysis of municipal tourism instruments and structured observation across five administrative regions. Cross-tabulation analysis reveals perception variation across demographic strata. Correlation analysis maps relationships among prioritisation dimensions. Policy mapping identifies the operational seams where intended integration falters. Economic improvement dominates community priorities at 57.8 percent overall, rising to roughly 71 percent among economically precarious populations. Community endorsement of tourism initiatives proved conditional rather than enthusiastic; it depends on visible job pathways and MSME integration. Culinary tourism enjoys broad support (76.3 percent); heritage development sits at 68.9 percent; generic destination marketing trails at 51.7 percent. The most consequential finding concerns the gap separating tourism policies as articulated from tourism policies as residents consider deliverable. This implementation gap is best understood not as a perception problem but as a design problem demanding architectural integration. Beyond local livelihoods, integrating community economic priorities into urban tourism policy supports sustainable urban development, eases pressure on natural resources by diversifying economic opportunities, and advances Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) in emerging Southeast Asian cities.

Abstract

Health literacy is an important determinant of public health, particularly among coastal communities facing geographical barriers, limited access to health services, and unequal distribution of health information. This study aimed to describe health information access and health literacy levels among coastal communities in Tekolabbua Village, Pangkep Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving 120 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected in January 2026 using a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, sources of health information, and the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire 16-item short form (HLS-EU-Q16). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented as frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that the internet was the most frequently used source of health information (51.7%), followed by health workers (32.5%), printed media (7.5%), books/textbooks (5.8%), and research journal articles (2.5%). Most respondents were categorized as having interactive health literacy (52.5%), followed by critical health literacy (43.3%) and functional health literacy (4.2%). These findings indicate that coastal communities in Tekolabbua Village primarily rely on digital sources and health workers and generally demonstrate health literacy above the basic level. Strengthening digital health literacy and optimizing the role of health workers are essential to support informed health decision-making, climate-resilient health systems, sustainable development in marine-dependent populations, and reduced health inequalities caused by geographical isolation. These efforts align with SDG 3, SDG 4, SDG 10, and SDG 14 by enhancing community capacity to respond to environmental health risks.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious diseases worldwide and continues to be a major public health concern in Indonesia. The success of anti-tuberculosis treatment depends largely on patients' adherence to medication. However, the occurrence of adverse drug reactions during treatment may reduce adherence and compromise treatment outcomes. This study aimed to determine the association between anti-tuberculosis drug side effects and medication adherence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Wijaya Kusumah Hospital, Kuningan. A quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among pulmonary tuberculosis patients receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment at Wijaya Kusumah Hospital, Kuningan. A total of 52 respondents were recruited using total sampling. ADRs were assessed using a structured questionnaire, while medication adherence was measured using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Most respondents experienced severe ADRs (57.7%), while 63.5% demonstrated low medication adherence. Statistical analysis showed a significant association between ADRs and medication adherence (p = 0.040). Patients who experienced more severe ADRs were more likely to demonstrate poor adherence during treatment. ADRs were significantly associated with medication adherence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Early identification and appropriate management of adverse drug reactions are essential to improve medication adherence and enhance treatment success. Improving medication adherence and reducing treatment failure may contribute to decreasing the transmission of drug-resistant tuberculosis within communities, protecting vulnerable populations, supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and strengthening health systems in resource-limited settings such as Indonesia.

Abstract

The study investigates migration intentions and reasons why residents prefer to remain rather than relocate in flood-prone coastal rural areas of Pekalongan Regency, Indonesia. An Exploratory mixed-method approach was employed, involving quantitative analysis of 218 respondents using descriptive statistics and cross tabulation, complemented by in-depth interviews with ten purposively selected informants. The findings reveal that only 20% respondents expressed an intention to migrate despite experiencing persistent environmental degradation and economic hardship. Longer residence, participation in community adaptation, strong social nertworks, road accessibility, and econonomic lossess were associated with migration intentions; however, these environmental and infrastructural constraints did not necessarily translate into a greater willingness to relocate, as most affected households preferred to remain. Qualitative  findings indicate that loyalty to place, strong neighborhood bonding, asset ownership, and livelihood continuity are the primary reasons for staying. The results suggest that migration is considered a last-resort adaptation strategy, while in-situ adaptation remains the preferred response. Understanding why communities choose to remain in harzard-prone areas is essential for designing climate adaptation strategies that respect local values, reduce the risk of involuntary displacement, and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), particularly in vulnerable social regions of Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The urban land cover has undergone significant changes due to rapid population growth. The aim of this research is to investigate the spatial extent and rate of LULC changes of the study area using remote sensing techniques by using tools: R-shiny, Collect Earth, QGIS, Arc GIS, GPS, Bing Maps, and the Google Earth Engine.The land use and land cover change (LULCC) analysis was conducted using four sets of satellite imagery; Key informant interviews (KII) and focus group discussions (FGD) were carried out to collect data on the drivers of land use and land cover changes, gather socioeconomic information, and cross-check the remote sensing data. The results showed significant LULC changes over the last 30 years. The built-up urban area has increased by 19,028.34 hectares, while agriculture, forest, and other land cover types have decreased by 11,460.42 hectares, 5,328.88 hectares, and 1,077.03 hectares, respectively. LULC Change in the study area has resulted from a combination of driving forces such as urbanization, industrialization, population pressure, it can be inferred that the city underwent a rapid Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC). To address the issue of LULC Changes  Effective Land Use Planning is essential in managing or alleviating LULCC. The findings demonstrate that a rapid alteration in land use and land cover has occurred in the city. This modification was shaped by the interplay of immediate and fundamental driving forces.

Abstract

The management of LASA (Look-Alike Sound-Alike) and HIGH ALERT medications is an essential component of pharmaceutical services because it is directly related to patient safety. LASA medications share similarities in name, appearance, or packaging that may lead to medication errors, whereas HIGH ALERT medications carry a high risk of causing serious harm if errors occur during their use. This study aimed to describe the management system of LASA and HIGH ALERT medications at Clinic X Lembang, including aspects of medication storage, labeling, and distribution. The research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, using direct observation and document review. The study was conducted from February to March 2026 with medical and pharmaceutical personnel responsible for medication management as subjects. The results showed that the management of LASA and HIGH ALERT medications at Clinic X Lembang has been implemented adequately. LASA medications were stored using a location-separation system, grouped by dosage form and strength, and managed according to the FIFO (First In, First Out) and FEFO (First Expired, First Out) principles. Labeling practices included special warning stickers and the Tall Man Lettering method to enhance awareness and reduce the risk of medication errors. HIGH ALERT medications, meanwhile, were stored separately in designated areas with warning labels and strict security measures, and the distribution process incorporated a double-check verification system to minimize the risk of medication errors. In conclusion, the management system for LASA and HIGH ALERT medications at Clinic X Lembang supports patient safety efforts; however, improvements in supervision, healthcare personnel training, and continuous evaluation remain necessary to further minimize the potential for medication errors.

Abstract

The improper use of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance, resulting in therapy failure. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge of outpatients regarding the use of the antibiotic amoxicillin at Puskesmas Bojongloa. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with an accidental sampling technique. The sample size was 91 respondents. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 10 questions regarding the use of the antibiotic amoxicillin. Data were analyzed descriptively in the form of percentages and categorized as good, fair, or poor. The results showed that the majority of respondents' knowledge levels fell into the poor category (35 respondents; 38.5%), followed by the fair category (31 respondents; 34.0%), and the good category (25 respondents; 27.5%). This study concludes that the level of knowledge of outpatients regarding the use of the antibiotic amoxicillin remains relatively poor, indicating a need for increased education on the appropriate use of antibiotics.

Abstract

Astaxanthin is an antioxidant supplement that is increasingly used for self-medication, particularly among Generation Z and Millennials. This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge and the self-medication patterns related to astaxanthin use between Generation Z and Millennials at K-24 A Pharmacy, Bandung City, in March 2026. This study employed a quantitative comparative design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 30 respondents selected using purposive sampling, and Fisher's Exact Test was used to analyze differences between the two groups. The results showed no significant difference in the level of knowledge between Generation Z and Millennials (p = 0.392). Self-medication patterns, including information sources, reasons for use, and consumption practices, were also similar between the two groups. In conclusion, generational differences did not significantly influence either the level of knowledge or the self-medication patterns related to astaxanthin use. These findings suggest that educational interventions promoting the appropriate use of dietary supplements should be directed equally toward both Generation Z and Millennials.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major global health challenge, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an important therapeutic target for blood pressure control. Indonesian medicinal plants have long been used traditionally to manage hypertension; however, comparative evaluations of their ACE inhibitory activity remain limited. This study investigated the extraction yield, phytochemical composition, and in vitro ACE inhibitory activity of ten medicinal plant parts traditionally used for hypertension treatment. Plant materials were extracted by maceration with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening and ACE inhibition testing using the ACE Kit-WST assay at 100 µg/mL. Extraction yields ranged from 9.82% to 45.30%, with Averrhoa bilimbi fruit producing the highest yield. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids in all extracts, whereas saponins, quinones, tannins, and steroids/triterpenoids showed variable distributions. ACE inhibitory activity ranged from 62.61 ± 1.21% to 96.92 ± 3.05%. The highest activities were observed for Morinda citrifolia fruit (96.92 ± 3.05%), Piper betle leaf (96.87 ± 2.05%), and Dracaena angustifolia leaf (95.09 ± 1.27%), with no significant difference from captopril (99.09 ± 0.07%; p > 0.05). These findings support the traditional use of selected Indonesian medicinal plants for hypertension management and identify M. citrifolia, P. betle, and D. angustifolia as promising sources of natural ACE inhibitors for further investigation. The scientific validation of these medicinal plant resources may also support the sustainable utilization of biodiversity and the preservation of traditional ethnomedicinal knowledge.

Abstract

The transition to a new Hospital Information System (SIMRS) at Hospital X changed the electronic medical record (EMR) documentation workflow and created a need to evaluate the quality of recorded data. Preliminary observations identified inconsistencies in diagnosis entries and patient age data. This study analyzed EMR data quality after implementation of the new SIMRS, focusing on completeness and accuracy. A descriptive quantitative design was used with 195 general outpatient EMRs. Primary data were obtained through direct observation using a checklist and were processed in SPSS using frequency and percentage distributions. Thirteen relevant data elements achieved 100% completeness. Three elements—civil-service rank/grade, NRP/NIP, and organizational unit—were unfilled, but these fields were considered conditionally applicable and therefore were not interpreted as deficiencies for general patients. Accuracy was high across the assessed dimensions: patient name and identity, ICD-10 coding, and follow-up data reached 100%; patient age data reached 99.5%; and diagnosis-entry conformity reached 95%. The average accuracy reported in the source study was 98.9%. Overall, EMR data quality following implementation of the new SIMRS was very good, although diagnosis-entry consistency and the design of conditionally applicable fields require improvement. Periodic monitoring, automatic input validation, clearer electronic-form logic, and regular staff training are recommended to maintain and improve EMR data quality.
