Abstract

To mitigate risk, effective land use planning must consider these socioeconomic factors. Numerous natural disasters will be brought on by improper land modification—the interaction between climate change and land-use change, such as deforestation. Different types of land transformation, such as cultivation and reforestation, are understood in varying ways. This study aims to accurately map land use by utilising GIS and Sentinel-2 data to support disaster mitigation efforts in Torue District. This study adopts a spatial approach and a descriptive quantitative method. Descriptive statistics are employed in this study's data analysis to illustrate the spatial characteristics of the study region, based on satellite image interpretation and GIS data processing. The results obtained eight land use classes. High-quality satellite imagery is required for accurate classification. Similarly, between classes and high intra-class variation can complicate the classification process, requiring advanced techniques to improve accuracy. Land use mapping produced eight classes with a total area of 26,467 ha, achieving an Overall Accuracy of 94.43%.

Abstract

The increasingly intense currents of globalisation and modernisation have led to moral degradation, ecological crises, and a weakening of human values and environmental awareness in society. Literature, as a product of culture and a reflection of human thought, has a strategic role in transmitting ethical, social, and ecological values that contribute to character building. However, contemporary literary studies and educational practices still tend to ignore local wisdom, especially values derived from Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Nusantara literature represents the values of collective ethics, harmony between humans and nature, and spirituality rooted in traditional ecological knowledge, while Western literature emphasises individuality, rationality, and moral autonomy. These differences in value orientation show the potential for complementarity in responding to today's moral and ecological issues. Through a qualitative comparative analysis of Nusantara and Western literary works, this article shows that the integration of TEK-based local wisdom in literary learning can strengthen character education, foster ecological ethics, and support cultural and environmental sustainability. The TEK-based literary approach is a contextual and transformative strategy in responding to the challenge of the degradation of human values in the global era.

Abstract

Mapping the distribution of mangrove forests is very important to determine the ecological changes, because mangroves protect biodiversity. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that can analyse the distribution of mangrove forests in a complex and efficient manner. This study aims to analyse the use of Google Earth Engine in monitoring changes in the distribution of mangrove forests in Langkat Regency from 2018 to 2024. This study uses Sentinel-2A image data by applying NDVI computed on Google Earth Engine (GEE). The results of the study show that there has been a change in the distribution of mangrove forests from 27,095.4 Ha (2018) to 26,700.56 Ha (2021) and to 24,685.74 Ha (2024), which shows a reduction in distribution by 394.84 Ha (2018-2021) and 2,014.82 Ha (2021-2024). The largest change in distribution occurred in Pangkalan Susu District with a reduction in area of 307.99 Ha (2021) and 984.64 Ha (2024). Changes in the distribution of mangrove forests are caused by human activities in land clearing for ponds and oil palm plantations. The accuracy test of the Sentinel-2A image uses a Confusion Matrix with an Overall Accuracy of 85%. This study shows the potential that Google Earth Engine-based Citra Sentinel-2A data can be used to monitor the distribution of mangrove forests.

Abstract

Social Studies (IPS) learning in junior high schools in Sukoharjo Regency is challenged by students’ low ecological awareness, limited variation in learning models that encourage active engagement, and the suboptimal implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum integrated with the Pancasila Student Profile. These conditions result in a lack of critical thinking, creativity, and environmental awareness among students. This study aims to develop a Project-Based Learning–Ecopedagogy (PJBL_EP) model as an alternative instructional strategy to strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile at the junior high school level. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) method, referring to the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects involved teachers and students from JHS 3 Nguter, JHS 5 Sukoharjo, and JHS Muhammadiyah Kartasura, with an extended trial involving 40 Social Studies teachers from 12 sub-districts in Sukoharjo Regency. The PJBL_EP model is designed through the integration of project-based learning with ecopedagogy principles, emphasising ecological awareness, critical thinking, creativity, independence, collaboration, and noble character development. Validation results showed an excellent feasibility score (92; 88.75; and 91.67). Field trials identified challenges in teachers’ mastery of content, classroom management, and students’ literacy; however, improvements in syntax, group management, and teaching modules enhanced practicality. Overall, PJBL_EP effectively makes Social Studies learning more contextual, creative, and environmentally oriented, while simultaneously strengthening the values of the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

Student preparedness in facing landslide disasters is an important aspect in disaster risk reduction in educational units. However, disaster learning in secondary schools is still dominated by conventional teaching materials that lack visualization and have not been optimally integrated with the Disaster Safe Education Unit Program (SPAB). This study aims to develop SPAB-based textbooks equipped with Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve students' understanding and preparedness for landslide disasters. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The research subjects consisted of 32 students of Class XII. F7 SMA Negeri 1 Kerjo. The research instrument used validation by material experts and media experts. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the Disaster Safe Education Unit (SPAB)-based learning book enriched with Augmented Reality (AR) technology is declared feasible and effective for use in landslide disaster mitigation learning. The validation results showed a score of 79.2 from material experts and 80 from media experts, both of which are in the feasible category. Effectiveness testing on 32 students showed improved learning outcomes, with an average score increasing from 56.2 in the pretest to 83 in the posttest, and an N-Gain value of 56%, which is considered quite effective. These findings confirm that integrating SPAB-based textbooks with AR visualizations can significantly improve students' understanding and preparedness, while also serving as an alternative, innovative learning medium relevant to disaster education in schools.

Abstract

This study was conducted in the mangrove forest area of Bengkulu City, Indonesia, which is rich in ecosystem diversity and has a long coastline. By utilising remote sensing technology, this study aimed to provide accurate information on the condition of mangrove forests and their role in the local ecosystem. Sentinel image analysis using NDVI, SAVI, and NDWI vegetation indices showed that NDVI was dominated by high density with values between 0.35 and 1, covering an area of 674.19 hectares. In the SAVI analysis, an extremely high density class with values 1.22 to 1.38 covered an area of 457.82 hectares. Conversely, NDWI indicated a low-density class with values between 0.17 and 0.27, covering an area of 457.82 hectares. Accuracy tests conducted with 30 samples showed an accuracy level of 83.33%. It is hoped that this study's results can significantly contribute to the understanding and management of mangrove ecosystems in Bengkulu City.

Abstract

Single-use plastic consumption was so high that it led to a buildup of plastic waste, threatening the sustainability of ecosystems and marine life. Much of this plastic waste originated from environmentally unfriendly products, which had become an increasingly pressing social issue. This study investigated the impact of green product attributes, perceived price, and environmental awareness on consumers' purchase intentions for green products. Data were collected through a survey of 250 randomly selected respondents and analysed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to assess both measurement and structural relationships. Validity tests were conducted using product-moment correlation analysis, and reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Hypothesis testing was carried out with the help of PLS-SEM software. The results showed that Attitude Toward Green Brand and Price & Value Perception positively and significantly influenced Green Purchase Intention, with regression coefficients of 0.232 and 0.198, respectively. However, environmental awareness did not significantly influence GPI, with a p-value coefficient of -0.052. This research provided important insights for developing green product marketing strategies, emphasising the importance of strengthening product attributes and perceived value to increase consumer purchase intentions. Theoretically, the findings extended the understanding of consumer behaviour in green marketing by confirming that perceived product value mediated the relationship between environmental concern and purchase intention, thereby enriching existing models of sustainable consumption.

Abstract

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) education is critical in disaster-prone Indonesia, including vulnerable Tangerang Selatan. Disaster-safe educational units (SPAB) aim to enhance school community preparedness, yet implementation remains suboptimal, requiring comparative school evaluations. This study compares DRR education implementation in SPAB at SMAN 5 and SMAS Al Adzkar Tangerang Selatan, focusing on the school community's preparedness level. A mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed, involving 373 respondents (principals, teachers, students, and non-teacher staff). Quantitative data were collected via written tests and structured questionnaires, while qualitative data came from in-depth interviews and observations. The results indicate that students’ understanding of disaster threats at both schools was “Very High” (average score >3.21 out of 4), while teachers and educational staff scored “High” (average 2.41–3.20). Understanding of disaster risk among principals, teachers, and educational staff was “Medium” (average 1.00–1.07 out of 2), with students at SMAN 5 scoring “High” (1.38) and students at SMAS Al Adzkar “Medium” (1.19). The average score for understanding disaster capacity across all groups was in the “High” category. Qualitative findings reveal that the integration of disaster risk reduction materials into the curriculum remains limited to certain subjects, the development of specific disaster risk reduction teaching materials is suboptimal, and extracurricular activities at both schools are not explicitly designed as part of disaster risk reduction efforts. These results highlight the need to strengthen SPAB implementation comprehensively by enhancing preparedness, curriculum integration, instructional materials, and extracurricular programs to improve resilience in disaster-prone schools.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the feasibility of Google Sites learning media and the effect of using Google Sites learning media in increasing student interest in learning. The method used in research is the ADDIE model, which involves development research and experimental methods. Based on the study's results on learning media development, the Google site, expert validation results obtained from material experts by 95% criteria, are very suitable, and media experts by 76%. The results of data analysis from student questionnaires regarding student interest in learning geography in experimental and control classes obtained results in hypothesis testing show that the value of t count > t table, namely t count = 3.168, is greater than t table 1.999, then H0 is rejected. The calculated significance level is 0.002, which is smaller than 0.05 (Sig (2-tailed <0.05). This means that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted. It is concluded that there is a difference in student interest in learning geography between the control and experimental classes. Furthermore, from the results of the average interest value of the experimental class of 80.906 and the control class of 76.468, it is known that the average of the experimental class is higher than the average of the control class. It can be concluded that there is a significant effect of using Google Sites learning media to increase learning interest in learning geography of class X students at SMAN 10 Fajar Harapan.
