Abstract

Research into the supply of tourism accommodations in rural areas is essential, given tourism's central role in rural revitalisation. Recent studies increasingly employ Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to analyse the distribution and determinants of rural accommodations. However, a significant gap remains in the literature addressing rural Japan specifically. This study investigates the spatial distribution and pricing dynamics of Nohaku accommodations in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. A comprehensive database was compiled from multiple sources to document accommodations and their respective prices across Japanese prefectures. The analysis integrates spatial analysis and the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) to assess spatial clustering and the determinants of accommodation pricing. Results reveal significant clustering of Nohaku accommodations around key tourism resources and identify regions with untapped tourism potential. Spatial econometric analysis shows that Nohaku accommodations command a price premium, and proximity to tourism resources positively affects pricing. The results offer a nuanced understanding of spatial patterns and pricing strategies, providing actionable insights for policymakers to optimise rural tourism development.

Abstract

The development of technology in today's era is one of the factors causing the emergence of local leaders who are placelessness or not oriented towards place. Regional leaders must have a Place-based principle to improve the welfare of the local community by developing village innovation while still using local strengths. Panggungharjo Village, located in Sewon District, was named the Best and Inspiring Village because the village head implemented place-based leadership. This study uses a qualitative approach with a thematic method. Data collection was carried out through Elite Interviewing of village government and village enterprise, field observations, document archives, and online data search techniques. The focus of this study is on the communication patterns that occur in the Panggungharjo Village Government in creating relational space in the form of place-based village innovation. Based on the results of the study, Panggungharjo Village has the innovations KUPAS, Pasardesa.id. and Pasti Angkut. The geographic communication that is formed is between the village head, the community, and third parties in solving the waste problem. Place-based leadership from the three innovations is formed because of the fields of political, community, business, union, and managerial leadership. The innovation space that is formed is the integration of real space and cyberspace applied in the innovations KUPAS, Pasardesa.id, and Pasti Angkut

Abstract

Leilem Hot Spring is a popular tourist destination with unique geothermal features and attractions. However, managing this destination requires a targeted approach so that its development runs on target and sustainably. This study identifies and analyses internal and external factors in managing Leilem Hot Springs in Minahasa Regency. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. Respondents were selected by accidental sampling, involving tour managers and visitors. Data analysis was conducted using the SWOT method, supported by the IFAS and EFAS matrices. The results showed an IFAS value of -(0.45), reflecting the dominance of internal weaknesses, and an EFAS of +(2.02), indicating significant external opportunities. Based on these findings, the tourist destination of Leilem Village Hot Springs, Minahasa Regency, is in a suitable position to implement a turnaround strategy through the W-O (Weaknesses-Opportunities) approach. This strategy is directed at strengthening professional management, improving facilities through synergy between stakeholders, involving the community in infrastructure improvements, and integrated promotion to expand market reach, especially in the digital era. Although the threat factor (T) is not prioritised in strategic decision-making, the issues of climate change and natural disaster risks remain critical. Managing these external factors requires integrating adaptive management based on risk mitigation and ecological principles, especially in geothermal tourism. Overall, this approach supports resource conservation, socioeconomic sustainability, and visitor safety, ensuring that natural tourism destinations remain resilient and sustainable over the long term.

Abstract

Climate change represents a critical global health threat, necessitating effective adaptation and mitigation strategies. While numerous studies have examined climate strategies in specific regions, a comprehensive analysis comparing approaches across multiple continents and identifying the most effective strategies from a global public health perspective remains limited. This systematic literature review followed PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 21 studies from 2014-2024 sourced from ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and EBSCOhost. The review included studies examining climate adaptation and mitigation strategies with measurable public health outcomes across diverse geographical contexts. The analysis identified five key strategy categories. Health system strengthening and leadership emerged as the most frequently implemented approach (12 countries), demonstrating effectiveness through improved emergency response coordination and resource allocation. Environmental conservation strategies (8 countries) showed significant benefits in reducing direct climate impacts, while green economy approaches (8 countries) provided sustainable funding mechanisms. The findings reveal that contextual implementation varies significantly between developed and developing nations. Effective climate-health action requires tailored approaches that consider local capacities and resources. Leadership and health system strengthening provide the foundational framework for successful implementation, while integrated multi-sectoral approaches deliver the most comprehensive public health protection. Future policies should prioritize context-specific strategies that address both immediate health risks and underlying climate drivers.

Abstract

Although Indonesia's metropolitan districts are seeing fast economic expansion, urban residents are nonetheless at risk because of unstable income and few job prospects. Urban poverty and unemployment rates in Yogyakarta's Special Region are still comparatively high, highlighting the need for alternative livelihood methods. Although urban farming has become a supplementary source of income to increase household resilience, the factors influencing its income performance are still unclear. The purpose of this study is to examine the structural, operational, biotic, and institutional aspects of urban farming revenue in Yogyakarta City. In 2024, a systematic questionnaire was used to gather primary data from 217 urban farming households. Stata 19 was used for hypothesis testing, and SPSS 27 was used for descriptive analysis. Net urban farming income was the dependent variable in a multiple linear regression model, and 22 independent variables were used to indicate sociodemographic traits, farm structure, input management, biotic stress, and institutional support. Eleven variables have a significant impact on income, and the results demonstrate excellent explanatory power (R2 = 0.7448). The most favorable factor is farm size, which is followed by financial support, seed subsidies, and technical aid. Positive impacts also come from gender and family size, emphasizing the importance of women's involvement and domestic work. Crop type has a negative correlation with income, although fertilizer type and expenditure boost it. Income is greatly decreased by biotic stress, particularly pest type and severity. The variables of training and market access are not statistically significant. In Yogyakarta, land access, household labor, efficient input usage, pest and disease control, and institutional assistance are the main factors influencing urban farming income.

Abstract

The rapid growth of urbanisation in the city of Surakarta has led to the conversion of agricultural land into residential and industrial areas, significantly impacting the food security of peri-urban areas. This study aims to analyse the land carrying capacity (σ), optimal population, and agricultural land needs for the viability of residents in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City. Data were obtained through the analysis of Sentinel-2A imagery and population statistics, utilising a guided classification approach with the CART algorithm. The results showed that most villages in eight peri-urban sub-districts were in a state of food deficit, with a σ value of < 1, indicating a high dependence on external food supply. Only a few villages in the northern part of Gondangrejo show surplus status. This condition highlights the urgency of implementing a strategy to protect agricultural land and control population growth rates to achieve sustainable food security in suburban areas. These findings make an important contribution to spatial planning and food policy in metropolitan areas.

Abstract

Rubber plantations play a significant role in carbon absorption and storage, which can help mitigate the impact of climate change. The importance of rubber plantations can be identified through the economic valuation of carbon stocks. This study aims to calculate the economic value of carbon storage in the Polokarto Rubber Plantation. This research was done at the Polokarto Rubber Plantation, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. This study uses the plot method to measure biomass and carbon storage. The estimation of the economic value of carbon is carried out using a proxy market approach, namely, substituting carbon stocks into market prices. The results showed that the total estimated value of carbon storage was 6136.935 tons from 140 hectares of plantation area. The economic valuation of carbon savings in the Polokarto Rubber Plantation shows an economic value of Rp. 2,291,908,029.96. Several recommendations that can be made are to improve plantation management, take a sustainable approach to plantation management to maintain carbon stocks and other environmental benefits, combine satellite technology to monitor changes in carbon stocks in large plantation areas, and establish economic incentive policies for rubber farmers who participate in maintaining carbon stocks through conservation and good land management.

Abstract

Tambak Lorok and Kemijen in Semarang face chronic tidal flooding, land subsidence, and seawater intrusion that degrade groundwater, the leading domestic water source. Limited piped-water supply forces households to combine unsafe wells with bottled water to meet daily needs. Scientific gaps persist regarding integrated analyses of groundwater quality, household-level adaptation, and stakeholder roles at the village scale. This study aimed to analyse the quality of water used by communities affected by tidal flooding and to examine how coastal households adapt to fulfil domestic water needs in Tambak Lorok and Kemijen. A mixed quantitative–qualitative approach was applied through groundwater sampling and semi-structured interviews with 114 household respondents. The results show that 2 of 7 artesian well samples fall into the brackish category, with Electrical Conductivity values of 1,045 µmhos/cm in Tambak Lorok and 1,165 µmhos/cm in Kemijen. Other samples indicate fresh water transitioning to brackish, with EC values ranging from 663–937 µmhos/cm in Tambak Lorok and 912 µmhos/cm in Kemijen. Community adaptations include reliance on artesian wells (90.4%), universal use of gallon water for drinking and cooking (100%), and limited use of PDAM services (9.6%). In conclusion, degraded groundwater conditions directly shape household adaptation strategies and demonstrate uneven vulnerability across neighbourhoods. The findings imply the urgency of improving piped-water access, strengthening stakeholder coordination, and designing targeted interventions for chronically affected communities. Scientifically, this study contributes a novel village-scale integration of water-quality assessment, adaptation behaviour, and governance analysis, offering a comprehensive framework for coastal water management under tidal-flood pressures.
