Abstract

The communities in Biraeng and Bontokio villages, Minasate'ne subdistrict, Pangkep regency, have a rich culture that includes traditions, local knowledge, and wisdom in managing the environment, but most of it has not been systematically documented. This study aims to explore the cultural diversity of the communities in Biraeng and Bontokio villages, Minasate'ne sub-district, Pangkep regency, in support of the development of the Maros-Pangkep Geopark. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of traditional leaders, cultural actors, and local communities. The results show that both villages have rich and adaptive cultural systems, including tangible cultural elements such as traditional houses, prehistoric cave sites, and traditional arts, as well as intangible cultural elements such as religious systems, language, traditional rituals, and local wisdom in environmental management. The community is also actively documenting their culture through art studios, cultural centers, and digital media as part of their efforts to preserve and promote community-based tourism. This cultural diversity contributes greatly to the sustainability of the Maros-Pangkep Geopark, not only as a tourist attraction but also as a means of education, conservation, and economic empowerment for the local community. This study emphasizes the importance of community participation in the management of culture-based geoparks as a strategy for preserving local identity and promoting sustainable development. AbstrakMasyarakat di Kelurahan Biraeng, Kecamatan Minasate’ne, Kabupaten Pangkep, memiliki kekayaan budaya yang meliputi tradisi, pengetahuan lokal, dan kearifan dalam mengelola lingkungan, namun sebagian besar belum terdokumentasi secara sistematis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi keanekaragaman budaya (cultural diversity) masyarakat Kelurahan Biraeng, Kecamatan Minasate’ne, Kabupaten Pangkep, dalam mendukung pengembangan Geopark Maros-Pangkep. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi terhadap tokoh adat, pelaku budaya, serta masyarakat lokal.

Abstract

Early marriage is a demographic issue. It remains a significant social problem in Indonesia, negatively impacting the health of adolescents, particularly girls. This study examines the impact of early marriage on the physical and reproductive health of adolescents, along with its impact on the health of their offspring. The research method employed involved a literature review of various research findings, official agency reports, and contemporary scientific publications related to the subject matter. The findings indicate that adolescent marriage increases the risk of pregnancy problems, including anemia, hypertension, hemorrhage, and maternal and neonatal mortality. This condition is exacerbated by a lack of physical readiness, inadequate reproductive health information, and socioeconomic conditions that encourage early marriage. Furthermore, the offspring of adolescent mothers face an increased risk of low birth weight and stunting caused by inadequate nutrition. The study's conclusions emphasize the importance of collaboration between families, communities, and the government in improving health education and child marriage prevention programs to improve the well-being and health status of adolescents in Indonesia.

Abstract

Population density varies across urban areas and provides an important spatial context for understanding socioeconomic conditions. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of population density and describe socioeconomic conditions across the five districts of Banjarmasin City, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, combining secondary population and administrative data with semi-structured interviews involving nine purposively selected informants. Population density was calculated and mapped using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), while interview data were organized into five socioeconomic aspects: employment, occupation, household income, fulfillment of basic needs, and community business scale. The results show clear spatial differences in population density, with Banjarmasin Selatan and Banjarmasin Utara classified as the highest-density districts, while Banjarmasin Tengah has the lowest classification. The socioeconomic findings indicate that trade, accommodation, culinary activities, and services are important livelihood sectors, alongside challenges related to unemployment, poverty, social security, settlement conditions, and environmental pressures. The spatial synthesis shows that socioeconomic conditions vary across districts and do not correspond to population density alone, but are also shaped by urban functions, economic activities, settlement characteristics, and environmental conditions. The study concludes that population density should be considered as a spatial context rather than a direct determinant of socioeconomic conditions. These findings support a spatially differentiated approach to urban planning and socioeconomic development in Banjarmasin City.

Abstract

The availability of accurate geospatial information is essential for supporting cultural tourism planning and sustainable destination management. However, comprehensive spatial information on cultural tourism attractions in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, remains limited. This study aimed to map and characterize the spatial distribution, cultural significance, and accessibility of cultural tourism attractions using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A descriptive qualitative approach integrated with GIS was employed. Data were collected from October to December 2025 through field observations, Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements, photographic documentation, and interviews with local communities and tourism site managers. Spatial and attribute data were processed using ArcGIS 10.8 to produce thematic maps and descriptive spatial interpretations. The findings identified nine cultural tourism attractions distributed across four districts, with the highest concentrations in Enrekang (44.44%) and Anggeraja (33.33%), followed by Baraka and Baroko (11.11% each). The attractions exhibited diverse characteristics, encompassing historical heritage, ancestral burial sites, traditional religious architecture, and distinctive natural landscapes. Accessibility varied considerably, with recorded travel distances ranging from 0.6 to 49 km and travel times from 2 to 102 minutes. Several less accessible sites also exhibited limited supporting infrastructure and maintenance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating geographical accessibility, cultural heritage preservation, and community participation into tourism development strategies. The study provides a preliminary geospatial inventory that can support evidence-based planning, destination management, and sustainable cultural tourism development in Enrekang Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze changes in forest cover and identify deforestation profiles in the Pamukkulu Watershed (DAS), Takalar Regency, from 1993 to 2023 using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A quantitative-descriptive approach was applied by analyzing secondary land cover data from 1993, 2003, 2013, and 2023, which were classified into forest and non-forest categories. Spatial overlay analysis, deforestation rate and intensity calculations, as well as deforestation profile classifications were conducted to examine the dynamics of forest change. The results show a significant decline in forest area from 15,374.49 ha in 1993 to 6,161.60 ha in 2023, primarily due to land conversion for agriculture and increasing population pressure. Polombangkeng Utara District was identified as the area with the highest level of deforestation. Although the deforestation rate has declined over time, several districts remain highly vulnerable. In the 2013–2023 period, signs of reforestation were observed in some sub-watersheds. This study provides essential insights for sustainable watershed management and forest conservation planning.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan tutupan hutan dan mengidentifikasi profil deforestasi di Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Pamukkulu, Kabupaten Takalar, selama periode 1993–2023 dengan menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Pendekatan kuantitatif-deskriptif diterapkan melalui analisis data tutupan lahan sekunder dari tahun 1993, 2003, 2013, dan 2023, yang diklasifikasikan menjadi kelas hutan dan non-hutan. Teknik overlay spasial, perhitungan laju dan tingkat deforestasi, serta klasifikasi profil deforestasi dilakukan untuk mengungkap dinamika perubahan hutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa luas hutan mengalami penurunan signifikan dari 15.374,49 ha pada tahun 1993 menjadi 6.161,60 ha pada 2023, terutama akibat alih fungsi lahan menjadi pertanian dan meningkatnya populasi penduduk. Kecamatan Polombangkeng Utara tercatat sebagai wilayah dengan deforestasi tertinggi. Meskipun terjadi penurunan laju deforestasi, masih ditemukan wilayah dengan profil deforestasi yang sangat rentan. Pada periode 2013–2023 terdapat indikasi reforestasi di beberapa kecamatan. Penelitian ini memberikan informasi penting bagi perencanaan konservasi dan pengelolaan DAS yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the cooperative learning model of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) in improving the learning activities and geography learning outcomes of students in class XIIc at SMAN 4 Toraja Utara. This research employed a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects comprised 32 students. Data were collected through observations of student learning activities and learning outcome tests administered at the end of each cycle. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to describe changes in students' learning activities and academic achievement. The findings indicate that the implementation of STAD encouraged improvements in learning activities, particularly in paying attention to instructional materials, participating in group discussions, asking and answering questions, and listening to other groups' presentations. The average level of learning activity increased from 47.39% in the first cycle to 61.19% in the second cycle. Improvements were also observed in learning outcomes, as the proportion of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion increased from 28.12% at the initial stage to 93.75% in the second cycle. These findings suggest that STAD can serve as an alternative approach to fostering more active and collaborative geography learning while supporting improved academic achievement through group interaction and individual accountability. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) dalam meningkatkan aktivitas dan hasil belajar geografi peserta didik kelas XIIc SMAN 4 Toraja Utara.
