Abstract

Conservation-based landscape planning is an increasingly important strategic approach in addressing the challenges of ecosystem degradation and species extinction due to land use change, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. This article aims to analyze how landscape planning can effectively support the conservation of target species and target ecosystems within the framework of sustainable biodiversity management. Through a systematic literature review of 30 articles of reputable international journals (2005–2025), this study identifies the main principles, planning methods, and indicators of success in integrating conservation into landscape spatial planning. The results show that ecosystem-based approaches, connectivity planning, and multi-stakeholder participation are the main foundations in conservation landscape planning. Indicator species and umbrella species are often used as proxies to identify priority areas, while target ecosystems are selected based on their level of uniqueness, threat, and ecological function. The integration of GIS-based spatial data and habitat modeling allows for effective identification of ecological corridors and conservation core areas. Studies also found that long-term success relies heavily on supportive policies, institutional capacity, and local community involvement. This article concludes that holistic and adaptive landscape planning is key to achieving conservation goals while supporting sustainable development. Policy recommendations include strengthening cross-sectoral landscape governance and building technical capacity in evidence-based planning.

Abstract

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) are a group of insects that are sensitive to habitat changes, making them potential bioindicators of ecosystem health. This study aims to evaluate the structure of butterfly communities in three habitat types—forest, shrubland, and open areas—in the Bukit Doa Mahawu area, Tomohon. Observations were conducted using a 300-meter-long, 10-meter-wide line transect method during two observation periods: March and July 2025. The results showed that 43 butterfly species from four families were recorded, with the highest diversity index (H’ = 3.10) in the forest habitat, while the open area had the highest number of individuals and was dominated by generalist species. Variations in microclimate, vegetation structure, and disturbance levels influenced differences in community composition between habitats. The novelty of this study lies in the provision of baseline data on butterfly communities and their relationship with environmental factors and disturbance levels as a foundation for monitoring ecosystem health in the Bukit Doa Mahawu ecotourism area.

Abstract

Child abuse in daycare centers constitutes a violation of children's rights to protection and proper care. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of perpetrators of child abuse in daycare centers from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The research employs a normative legal method with a library research approach. Data were collected through documentation and literature review of relevant primary and secondary legal sources and were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The findings indicate that violence against children, whether committed intentionally or through negligence, constitutes a jarimah (criminal act) that is contrary to the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid al-shari'ah), particularly the protection of life (hifz al-nafs) and lineage (hifz al-nasl). Perpetrators may be held criminally liable through the application of qisas, diyat, or ta'zir sanctions according to the degree of fault and the consequences of their actions. Therefore, criminal liability in Islamic law serves not only as a means of punishment but also as an effort to protect children's rights and prevent violence in daycare environments.

Abstract

Violence against children in daycare centers has become a serious concern because children are a vulnerable group that requires special protection. This study aims to analyze the legal protection provided to child victims of violence in daycare centers, examine the role of daycare as a child care institution, and explore cases of child abuse occurring in Palembang City. This research employs a normative legal research method using a library research approach. The data used are secondary data obtained from the examination of legislation, books, scientific journals, and other relevant literature. Data were collected through documentation studies and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The findings indicate that child protection is a shared responsibility of families, communities, daycare providers, and the government. Although daycare centers serve as institutions that support children's growth and development, cases of violence still occur due to weak supervision, inadequate caregiver competence, and the ineffective implementation of child protection systems. In Palembang City, incidents of violence against children in childcare institutions highlight the urgent need to strengthen monitoring mechanisms, improve caregiver quality, and enforce legal protections more effectively. These measures are essential to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
