Abstract

Some geography education students score poorly in wetlands ecological literacy. This study aimed to determine the effect of outdoor learning on wetlands ecological literacy using a pre-experimental design and a sample of 60 geography students. The wetlands ecological literacy instruments were adapted from Anderson's cognitive dimensions comprising factual, conceptual, strategic, and metacognitive indicators. Data were analyzed using percentages and non-parametric Wilcoxon ranked statistical sign tests. The result showed that 2-tailed Asymp. Sig. was 0.000, smaller than 0.05. The conceptual and metacognitive indicators had the highest and lowest improvement of 21.11% and 13.33%, respectively. Furthermore, students’ wetlands ecological literacy improved through outdoor learning. Outdoor learning increases students’ attention to their environment through closer interactions, complementing the learning experience. Therefore, outdoor learning improves students’ wetland ecological literacy.

Abstract

The increasing need for land has resulted in a higher rate of land conversion and urbanization, leading to a rise in urban density and the occurrence of an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The application of remote sensing and GIS can serve as a substitute for data collection in monitoring the UHI phenomena. This work utilizes Landsat 8 OLI satellite image data, namely band 10, to analyze Land Surface Temperature (LST). Bands 5 and 4 are employed to assess the distribution of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in Bekasi Regency during the years 2014 and 2020. The relationship between NDVI and LST is highly correlated as they can effectively forecast the influence of areas with sparse vegetation on temperature. The guided classification approach, employing the maximum likelihood algorithm and kappa validation, is utilized to evaluate alterations in land use. The kappa accuracy test yielded a score of 0.90% for 2014 and 0.99% for 2020. The research conducted between 2014 and 2020 revealed changes in land distribution. Specifically, the built-up land area increased by 99.92 Km2, empty land expanded by 280.82 Km2, bodies of water covered an additional 46.13 Km2, and vegetation expanded by 293.91 Km^2. According to the UHI research, it is evident that there has been a rise in surface temperature in Bekasi Regency from 2014 to 2020. In 2014, the minimum temperature reached 30 °C, and the maximum temperature reached 51 °C. In 2020, the minimum temperature was recorded at 34 °C, while the maximum temperature reached 52 °C.

Abstract

Anthropogenic activities are leads to changing a natural land cover, and consequences are severe to human and environments etc. The present study has examined the Muthupet mangrove forest and its surrounding land-use changes from 1975 to 2015 using the geospatial technology. An assessment of land use and land cover was done at Muthupet mangrove forest which is an occupied the three coastal district of Tamilnadu i.e. Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, and Nagappattinam. The remote sensing (MSS, TM, and OLI) data was adopted to explore the land use and land cover with help of visual image interpretation. The study had justified the results based upon the ground truth verification, and 203 sites were selected for explore the 10 land use categories. An Accuracy Assessment has done based on the KAPPA index for the year 2015 classified image and appraisal of land use change detection from 1975 to 2015 for all the categories. The study revealed that the land use and land cover condition from the 1975 to 2015, for example 1975 water bodies covered an area of about 156.1 km2, and 2015 it has comprised 89.8 km2. An appraisal of land use and land cover clearly is evidence in 2005 entire land use and land cover changed, and reasons for that an influence of the Tsunami. Consequently, Muthupet mangrove forest is one of the important to human and environments, and the present study has exposed that the changes of the mangrove forest, and its impact on to the coastal community.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of the geographical conditions of an area on the phenomenon of sirri marriage through a qualitative study. Data analysis was carried out inductively from the results of observations, in-depth interviews and FGDs. The results of the study indicate that the phenomenon of unregistered marriage occurs in Sumber Malang, Situbondo, East Java as a result of the geographical conditions of the area. The topographical conditions of the area in the form of mountainous areas with an altitude of 500-1,250 meters above sea level, very steep with a slope of 45%, rocky and dry soils make the Sumber Malang area difficult to develop economically. This is because agricultural cultivation is difficult to develop. Furthermore, the accessibility of areas that are difficult to reach because they are far inland, narrow roads, no public transportation, far from the center of economic activity have caused people in this area to choose to stay in their environment. Topography and regional accessibility have an impact on adolescent marriage behavior in the Sumber Malang community. Adolescents and parents view unregistered marriage as something that is done to avoid sin, the certainty of a relationship, economic motives (because the cost of marriage is considered expensive by the community) and as a result of the remote location of the area; because the teenager only has a circle of friends in Sumbermalang. There are two patterns of sirri marriage that occur, namely teenagers will marry sirri and live together and teenagers will marry sirri then stay with their parents and still continue their education. The implication of this research is to provide an illustration that geographical space can affect the pattern of marriage that occurs in society. Based on this, the relevant government can provide adequate access to education at the research sites.

Abstract

In many Nigerian states, urban flooding has resulted into the death of numerous people and destruction of properties worth billions of Naira. This study examined the vulnerability dynamics and urban flood hazardscape pattern within Gombe city with a view to providing bases for policy formulation (where necessary), enforcement and decision making on flood risk reduction for enable sustainable urban development. ASTER DEM and Landsat images (2000, 2010 and 2019) was used to generate Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and impervious surface areas. Rainfall data for 2000-2018 was used to examine rainfall trend using regression analysis. The result revealed that flood hazardscape and vulnerability dynamics are largely influenced by physical and social factors. The results for vulnerability dynamics shows that as at 2000, about 1.4km2 lies on the relatively low vulnerable area,4.1km2falls within the moderate, and about 14.6km2 falls on critical area. By 2010, only about 1km2 lies on the relatively low area, 5.2km2 occupied the moderate and about 15km2was found within the critically vulnerable area. In 2019, the vulnerability dynamics depicts that about 33.4km2, impervious surface (builtup area) existed, out of which 2.8km2 lies on the low vulnerable area, 9.4km2 on the moderately vulnerable and 21.2km2 in critically vulnerable areas. It is concluded that flood hazardscape and vulnerability dynamics in Gombe city is influenced by both physical and anthropogenic factors. It is recommended that planning departments should put into consideration urban flood hazardscape maps for future development so as to reduce the risk and control future exposure flood impact.

Abstract

The Bahorok River basin has a high flash-flood hazard index. This is shown by loss of lives and damage of homes due to floods in recent years, however, no research examined community preparedness on the hazard of flash-flood. This research aimed to assess the effect of disaster experience and flood-risk perception on disaster preparedness of the people of Bukit Lawang Plantation Village. A cross-sectional survey design was used to determine the relationship between disaster experience, risk perception and preparedness as the independent and dependent variables, respectively. The results showed that disaster experience and risk perception positively and significantly affect the community preparedness. Disaster risk reduction programs in the region only focus on emergency response, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Furthermore, increasing public awareness and preparedness has not been prioritized in reducing flood risk. This is an essential aspect for consideration because mountainous areas are often marginalized and lack access to disaster risk reduction programs.

Abstract

The advancement of remote sensing technology has led to the development of sophisticated image processing methods that yield highly accurate land cover classification information, minimizing misinterpretations. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a widely utilized method in remote sensing for measuring green vegetation. A significant portion of the Jember Regency area is covered by vegetation. This study aimed to identify various land cover types in the Jember Regency area, quantify the area for each classification, and establish the NDVI value ranges for each type of cover. Sentinel-2 was employed as the primary data source, and the NDVI method was utilized for land cover classification in the Jember Regency. The region exhibited diverse land cover types. Data from Sentinel-2A captured in June and October 2019 were chosen due to their accessibility, open-source nature, and adequate spectral, spatial, and temporal resolution. The classification in this study encompassed five classes: water bodies, settlements, dry fields, irrigated paddy fields, and forests. Error analysis was conducted using a confusion matrix with the Overall and Kappa algorithms. The accuracy results for June indicated a Kappa Accuracy of 37.7% and Overall Accuracy of 54.5%. In October, the Kappa Accuracy increased to 39.9%, and the Overall Accuracy reached 56.5%. In conclusion, the NDVI method did not meet the criteria for accurately interpreting land cover classification.

Abstract

Pamekasan coastal area is the center of salt production concentrated in the Pademawu subdistrict with the ponds area of 740.96 ha. The sufficiently close distance of salt ponds to settlement areas allows several issues, such as shallow groundwater salinization. This study aimed to determine the salt pond’s degradation over five years (2015-2020) and its influence on the salinization issue in Pademawu. We compare groundwater quality parameters (conductivity, TDS, the depth of shallow surface groundwater, and salinity) surveyed in 2015 and 2020, correlated to salt pond area alterations. Over five years of measurement, it was found that conductivity declined, reaching 2779.94 µS/cm. Based on TDS deterioration, groundwater transformed from brackish to freshwater in 2020. By contrast, the depth of shallow groundwater-surface increased by almost one meter. The freshwater area also increased by 22% over five years based on conductivity classification. Groundwater quality dynamics are related to the alteration of the salt pond area. On the other hand, the significant increase in rainfall intensity, which is not beneficial for salt agriculture, results in the salt pond area deterioration, thereby declining surface groundwater salinity in Pademawu due to the less interaction between Cl and groundwater within aquifers. Although the groundwater pollution induced by seawater intrusion and salinization declined in 2020, re-organizing the distance between salt ponds and the settlement area in Pademawu is crucial to minimize further groundwater pollution.
