Abstract

Geography education in the digital native era requires students to develop critical, creative, and innovative thinking through a spatial approach. Learning geography is not just about learning theory, but about learning deeply by optimising technology and geospatial data. This study aims to analyse the concepts and characteristics of Geospatial Deep Learning in geography education and to analyse the potential of Geospatial Deep Learning in empowering spatial thinking skills. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilising 10 informants of geography teachers and vice principals of senior high schools in Surakarta City. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, as informants were selected based on the researcher's considerations. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews and observations of teaching practices. The researcher employs an interactive data analysis model. The validity of the data used was triangulated by source and method. The research findings indicate that Geospatial Deep Learning in the context of high school geography education in Surakarta has already utilised geospatial data to enhance students' spatial thinking skills, though not yet to its full potential. Teachers have endeavoured to help students use data from Google Earth to strengthen their analysis. The potential of Geospatial Deep Learning in geography learning is significant, particularly in developing spatial thinking skills. Teachers noticed an improvement in spatial representation, which is evident in students' ability to visualise and manipulate spatial data in a more interesting, interactive, and informative way.

Abstract

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry initiated the Climate Village Program (ProKlim) to increase community involvement in climate change adaptation and mitigation. This study aims to analyse the Climate Village Program implementation strategy in Madiun City as a form of climate change mitigation and the embodiment of the Smart Environment concept. The qualitative research approach uses data collection techniques through field observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires distributed to 96 respondents from 24 climate villages spread across Madiun City. The main informants consisted of representatives of the environmental service, community leaders, and ProKlim actors. The study results showed that the ProKlim implementation strategy received positive support from the community, local government, and the private sector. The main strategies include strengthening local institutions, integrating environmentally friendly technology, and increasing community capacity through environmental education. However, private sector participation and technology utilisation still need to be improved for more efficient environmental management. These findings confirm that multi-stakeholder collaboration and community-based approaches are the keys to success in realising climate-resilient cities through the Smart Environment concept.

Abstract

There is still a gap between the implementation of deep learning pedagogy in the Independent Curriculum and the pedagogical readiness of geography teachers in Surakarta City. This study examines geography teachers’ understanding of the deep learning approach within the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian senior high schools. Deep learning is emphasised in the curriculum to promote meaningful, reflective, and critical learning; however, limited evidence exists regarding teachers’ pedagogical readiness. Using a mixed-methods embedded design, data were collected from 25 geography teachers in Surakarta City through questionnaires and focus group discussions. The study focused on four indicators: knowledge of deep learning concepts, implementation in classroom practice, perceptions of effectiveness, and professional development needs. The results indicate that 64% of teachers demonstrated a moderate understanding of deep learning, 24% showed high understanding, and 12% had low levels. While most teachers acknowledged the importance of deep learning and displayed enthusiasm, they faced challenges related to conceptual clarity, consistency in instructional practice, and limited institutional support. These findings suggest a gap between theoretical knowledge and actual implementation in geography education. The study underscores the need for structured professional development, collaborative learning communities, and contextual instructional design to enhance teacher capacity. This research contributes to the international discourse on curriculum reform by mapping teacher readiness and highlighting practical challenges in applying deep learning pedagogy within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Over the past century, numerous cyclones have affected several countries, resulting in significant economic losses. This study uses GIS to determine the Danger Level of Tornadoes and the distribution of areas affected by tornadoes in Pontianak City in 2024. The method used is secondary data analysis. The data analysis technique used is a weighted, tiered quantitative analysis employing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach and the Overlay function in ArcGIS 10.8, utilising the Weighted Overlay spatial analysis tool. The data were rainfall, ground surface temperature, slope, and land cover. The four parameters were made into a map, each weighted using the AHP method. The results showed that the level of danger of tornadoes in Pontianak City in 2024, using GIS and Remote Sensing, has four classes: very low, low, medium, and high. Very low class has an area of 223.86 ha (2%), low class 3510.52 ha (35%), medium class 6262.04 ha (62%) and high class (151.71 ha (1%). Most of the classes of tornado hazard levels are medium. The distribution of this class is mostly in West Pontianak, Pontianak Kota, and South Pontianak sub-districts. The lower class is mostly located in Southeast and North Pontianak.

Abstract

Waste generated from activities at the fish auction site in Lampulo Village has the potential to degrade environmental quality, particularly groundwater quality. This study aims to assess the impact of waste from fish auction sites on groundwater quality in Lampulo Village. Groundwater quality was evaluated using electrical conductivity (EC) and salinity parameters to indicate pollution levels. The results show that groundwater quality in the study area has significantly declined due to waste generated from fish auction activities. Groundwater pollution levels are classified as very high, with EC values exceeding 4,500 µS/cm, indicating very saline groundwater conditions. Electrical conductivity is the ability of groundwater to conduct an electric current and reflects the concentration of dissolved ions, which serves as an important indicator of groundwater contamination. Elevated EC values observed in Lampulo Village suggest a substantial contribution from dissolved salts originating from waste from the fish auction site. Furthermore, groundwater salinity classification reveals that most groundwater wells in the study area fall within the brackish and salty water categories. These conditions indicate that groundwater surrounding the fish auction site has been contaminated and is no longer suitable for domestic use, including drinking, cooking, and bathing. This study emphasises the need for effective waste management strategies at the fish auction site to mitigate groundwater pollution and to support environmental sustainability and public health protection in coastal settlement areas.

Abstract

This study investigates the spatial dynamics of Karst Rock Desertification in the tropical karst region of Tepus District, Gunungkidul Regency, using Sentinel-2A imagery and remote sensing indices including NDVI, NDRI, FVC, and Fr. Although various studies have examined KRD in different karst regions using NDVI or NDRI individually, few have integrated multiple indices to capture both vegetation degradation and rock exposure simultaneously. Moreover, most previous studies rely on medium-resolution imagery like Landsat, which limits spatial detail, and rarely focus on the tropical karst of Indonesia. KRD, characterized by soil degradation and vegetation loss in karst landscapes, poses significant ecological threats due to its rapid and often irreversible impacts. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method combined with spatial-temporal analysis using Google Earth Engine and ArcGIS to assess land cover changes between 2019 and 2024. The analysis focused on identifying rock desertification by utilizing NDVI with FVC and the NDRI with FR. Field observations validated these findings, showing clear distinctions in soil depth and vegetation between degradation levels. The results showed significant changes in vegetation cover and rock exposure between 2019 and 2024. The Non-Rocky Desertification area decreased from 25.65% to 9.39%, while the Potential Rocky Desertification zone increased from 73.75% to 90.12%. In terms of vegetation, the “Nothing” category rose from 6.42% to 2.51%, while Moderate vegetation cover declined from 23.20% to 23.51%, and Extremely Severe decreased from 9.68% to 19.11%. These findings indicate that approximately 40% of the study area is now affected by moderate to severe desertification, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation and sustainable land management. The study highlights the critical role of vegetation management and sustainable land use to curb the advancement of desertification. These findings contribute to understanding karst ecosystem vulnerability and inform future ecological restoration strategies.

Abstract

The salt edu-tourism area in Bunder Village was established to promote local economic development and generate village income by leveraging salt farming as a tourism attraction. However, the initial objectives have not been fully achieved due to declining tourist visits. This study aims to assess the sustainability status of salt edu-tourism across five dimensions—ecological, social, economic, institutional, and infrastructure—and identify leverage attributes to enhance its long-term viability. A quantitative survey approach was employed, involving 30 purposively selected respondents, including tourism managers, residents, and visitors. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and field observations and analysed using the RAPFISH method, incorporating multidimensional scaling and leverage analysis. The results revealed that the overall sustainability of the salt edu-tourism site is categorised as low, with moderate sustainability achieved only in the ecological and institutional dimensions. Key leverage factors include waste management practices, village funding, community engagement, government support, and infrastructure improvements. Compared to previous studies that primarily focused on potential development and socio-economic impacts, this research provides a novel multidimensional sustainability assessment. To improve sustainability, it is recommended to strengthen waste management systems, enhance community participation, secure greater funding, foster strategic collaborations, upgrade infrastructure, and introduce indoor educational facilities. These integrated efforts are crucial to support the future growth and resilience of salt edu-tourism in Bunder Village.

Abstract

This research examined the enhancement of students' preparedness in facing disasters, particularly flood disasters, through the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and a behavioristic-religious approach. The research aimaned to understand how religious values and behavioristic teaching methods could improve students' awareness and capacity to effectively respond to flood disasters. A qualitative research methodology was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, focus discussions (FGD) and document analysis from teachers and students in elementary schools. The data were analyzed using triangulation with disaster and religious experts. The findings indicate that disaster education knowledge utilizing a behavioristic-religious approach was generally well understood by school stakeholders, including teachers, principals, and school boards, with 86% demonstrating a good understanding. However, some informants had limited understanding of this approach, highlighting the need for broader implementation not only among students but also among school stakeholders. Additionally, the majority (around 80%) of respondents identified lectures and Q&A sessions as effective teaching methods, while only a small portion emphasized the importance of simulations reinforced with religious values. Regardless of these benefits, issues such as  curriculum mapping, teacher training, and the inclusion of religious instruction to accommodate diverse student backgrounds. This research concluded that the integration of PBL with religious behavioristic reinforcement improved disaster literacy, preparedness, and spiritual resilience among students. Future studies should investigate hybrid models integrating behaviorism with other student-centered learning approaches to further maximize disaster education strategies.
