<![CDATA[Small island cities face structural challenges in providing service centres due to spatial fragmentation and limited accessibility. This study aims to analyse the spatial structure and optimise the distribution of urban service centres in the Usuku Tomia Urban Area, Wakatobi Regency, using a weighted Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) approach. Data were obtained from field observations of 163 public service facilities spread across 12 villages/subdistricts in Tomia and East Tomia Subdistricts, covering 11 service categories. The analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical quantitative method based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) to estimate the spatial intensity of services and establish a hierarchy of service centres. The results of the study show significant spatial inequality and form four service centre hierarchies. The subdistricts of West Tongano and Waha were identified as primary service centres (Order I) with the highest density values (>4.5 units/km²), dominated by high-weight facilities such as education, trade and services, and settlements. Conceptually, these findings expand the application of place centre theory to the context of non-contiguous small island cities. Practically, this study confirms KDE as an evidence-based policy instrument to support more efficient and equitable service centre planning in island regions.]]>

<![CDATA[Climate change and sea-level rise have increased the frequency of tidal flooding along the northern coast of Java, including Sriwulan Village, Sayung District, Demak Regency with inundation depths of 0.05–0.20 meters disrupting settlements and community activities. This study aims to analyze the environmental context and risk, assess community vulnerability and adaptive capacity, identify physical, social, and economic adaptive responses, evaluate the effectiveness of adaptation strategies, and determine the key factors influencing adaptation success. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and secondary data. The results indicate that areas with low elevation exhibit the highest vulnerability. Communities implement individual adaptations such as house elevation (96%) and fulfillment of clean water needs (95%), as well as collective adaptations through village embankment construction and mutual cooperation (82%). Seawall construction is proven to be the most effective adaptation measure, with a score of 3.9 in reducing residential exposure. The findings confirm that coastal community vulnerability results from the interaction between physical exposure and socio-economic adaptive capacity, and that collective, structural-scale adaptations are more effective than individual adaptations. The implications highlight the need for integrating structural and non-structural adaptation measures, strengthening community capacity, and enhancing local institutional support to improve the long-term resilience of coastal communities.]]>

<![CDATA[Early marriage remains a significant social issue in Indonesia, particularly among adolescents who have limited access to education and information. This study aims to analyze the role of social media as a source of information in shaping adolescents’ knowledge of the risks of early marriage. The study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving 70 junior high school students. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive analysis and the chi-square test. The results show that 70% of respondents had been exposed to information about early marriage through social media, and 62.9% had a relatively high level of knowledge. However, bivariate analysis indicates that there is no statistically significant relationship between the use of social media and adolescents’ level of knowledge (p = 0.914). These findings indicate that exposure to digital information does not automatically increase knowledge, as the process of understanding formation is influenced by social context and the educational environment. Social media functions as a supportive space for information diffusion within a broader social space system.]]>

<![CDATA[The most prominent social stratification in fishing communities is stratification based on control of the means of production. Price determination greatly influences the socio-economic conditions of fishing communities. This gap is also seen in the fishing community in Sango Village, Ternate Island District, Ternate City. The purpose of this study is to determine how the socio-economic activities of fishing communities are related to the fishing system, organization and patterns of cooperative relationships between fishermen, profit sharing and marketing patterns and distribution of fishermen's catch. This research method uses a phenomenological study approach that places the meaning of understanding or comprehension of the object itself, through interview techniques, observation, and documentation and analyzed descriptively-qualitatively. Sango Village is a portrait of the life of a traditional fishing community. Some traditional fishermen who live in Sango Village almost lost their source of income to support their families, but over time their economic activities have improved because they still rely on their livelihoods as fishermen, and until now they still exist in developing their activities. The fishing system and tools used by the fishing community in Sango Village in general are 1. Coho nyao toma jala (catching fish with nets) 2. Coho nyao se tabadiku (catching fish with bamboo) 3. Hau/Mangail (Fishing). Organization and pattern of Cooperation Relations between fishermen there are Punggawa and juragan. The conclusion is that the social and economic activities of the fishing community in Sango Village grow and develop reciprocally with socio-cultural aspects seen from the fishing system at sea.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the influence of an industrial area on geography learning motivation and environmental awareness among high school students in Purwosari, Pasuruan Regency. The research scope covers SMA Negeri 1 Purwosari, located adjacent to the PT Indolakto industrial complex. This study aims to (1) measure the level of geography learning motivation based on the ARCS model by Keller, and (2) assess the level of environmental awareness based on Sánchez and Lafuente's framework. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted involving 27 Grade XII students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires: 20 items for learning motivation (ARCS indicators) and 25 items for environmental awareness (knowledge, attitude, behavior). Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to calculate mean scores and percentages. Results show that geography learning motivation was at a moderate level (59.5%) and environmental awareness was also moderate (62.5%). Industrial stressors such as air pollution, noise, and elevated temperatures are identified as factors that inhibit optimal learning and ecological sensitivity. The study recommends implementing contextual and outdoor-based learning strategies to simultaneously improve motivation and environmental awareness in school settings near industrial zones.]]>

<![CDATA[The development of a dedicated timber terminal requires a hydrographic assessment to ensure navigational safety and operational feasibility. This study aims to analyze tidal characteristics, current patterns, and water depth conditions in the Lower Sesayap River, North Kalimantan, as a basis for evaluating the feasibility of developing a dedicated industrial timber plantation (HTI) terminal. Data were collected through field observations of tides, measurements of current velocity and direction at the surface, middle, and bottom layers, and bathymetric depth measurements. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and comparative approaches to evaluate the relationship between tidal dynamics, current patterns, and the technical requirements for terminal operations. The results indicate that the study area is characterized by a semidiurnal tidal regime, with two high tides and two low tides each day. Current patterns across all water layers are relatively uniform, with current velocities classified as weak to moderate and directions generally following tidal phases. The water depth in the study area also meets the minimum requirements for vessel navigation and maneuvering. These findings indicate that the hydrological conditions of the Lower Sesayap River support the development of a dedicated timber terminal to facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of forest products from industrial plantation forests.]]>

<![CDATA[Urban river issues, such as pollution and pressure from riverside settlements, require prospective geography educators to develop geographical thinking alongside the ability to understand socio-environmental contexts in an integrated manner. However, studies on field-based learning in urban river contexts remain largely descriptive and have not comprehensively explained their contribution to the development of students’ geocapability. This study aims to examine students’ learning experiences through an educational expedition based on place-based learning along the Musi River corridor in Palembang and its implications for geocapability. The research subjects were Geography Education students at Universitas PGRI Palembang who participated in expeditions along the Musi River and the Sekanak River. Data were collected through written reflections and semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The results show that students’ reflections were dominated by analytical–critical (40%) and synthetic–transformative (34.29%) levels, indicating the development of spatial thinking and environmental literacy through direct experience and cross-site comparison. These findings suggest that expedition-based learning strengthens students’ geocapability in understanding spatial complexity contextually. Theoretically, this study contributes to expanding the understanding of geocapability implementation through a place-based learning approach in urban river contexts.]]>

<![CDATA[Kebumen Geopark has the potential of 42 geological sites with educational value as natural laboratories for teaching Basic Geology to Geography students. However, field learning is constrained by limited time and learning resources that do not adequately represent geological objects spatially and visually, making it difficult for students to relate rock type concepts to real conditions. This study aims to develop WebGIS StoryMaps-based geological education media to improve students' understanding of rock material. The method used is the 4-D Research and Development (R&D) model. Data collection techniques used observation, questionnaires, and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques used descriptive percentage analysis. The results of the study show very high feasibility in terms of material (99.25%), media (96.33%), and user response in the very good category (90.6%). These findings indicate that WebGIS StoryMaps is effective as a bridge between theoretical concepts and field conditions, and has the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional field learning. User responses revealed limitations in language adaptability, illustration exploration, navigation, and functional flexibility, indicating that the media needs improvement to be more inclusive and oriented towards active learning. The use of WebGIS StoryMaps strengthens the spatial-visual and contextual-based approach to geography learning, especially in geology learning.]]>

<![CDATA[This study assesses the preparedness attitudes of high school students at SMA Negeri 2 Bontang in the context of dual hazards, namley the coastal environment and industrial risks. This study uses a descriptive-comparative approach, with a sample of 110 students selected through proportional statified random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a validated and reliable attitude questionnaire, while data analysis employed descriptive statistics and independent t-test. The result indicate that students disaster preparedness fall into the high category. However, the results of the t-test show that there are no significant differences in disaster preparedness attitudes based on residential location or parental occupational background. This suggests that an individual’s geographic and socioeconomic characteristics are not primary factors in determining students’ preparedness, likely because all students receive the same information regarding disaster mitigation within the school environment. Therefore, it is recommended that disaster mitigation education in scholls be conducted using hand-on simulation methods so that a preparedness mindset can be deeply and continuosly internalized.]]>

<![CDATA[Groundwater is the primary source of fresh water for communities in the coastal area of Ujong Pancu, Peukan Bada, Aceh Besar. However, limited assessments of its suitability for domestic use, combined with geological conditions dominated by high-porosity alluvial deposits (Qh), increase its vulnerability to contamination. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the hydrogeochemical characteristics and evolution of groundwater and to identify the controlling geochemical processes. A total of 10 groundwater samples were collected from dug wells and analyzed for major cations (Na, K, Ca, and Mg) and anions (Cl, SO₄, and HCO₃). The results were interpreted using Stiff and Piper diagrams to determine hydrochemical facies and groundwater evolution. The results show that groundwater is dominated by Ca–Mg–HCO₃, mixed facies, and Na–HCO₃–SO₄. The evolution of groundwater chemistry indicates carbonate mineral dissolution and cation exchange processes, in which Ca–Mg is progressively replaced by Na along the groundwater flow path. Several samples exhibit balanced Ca and HCO₃ concentrations, indicating meteoric water characteristics. In conclusion, groundwater hydrogeochemistry in the Ujong Pancu coastal area is primarily controlled by water–rock interaction and internal aquifer processes.]]>
