The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires for students and teachers for several schools that are close to local potential sources such as the batik and Trusmi industry, pottery businesses, salt ponds, and leather cracker businesses. The results of the study showed that students had a high interest in contextual learning based on local potential.  the impact of contextual learning of real life is 39% students strongly agree and 65% students agree. And teachers' perception of contextual learning in geography, as many as 91% of teachers have a good understanding of the basic principles of the contextual approach. In addition, 92% of teachers believe that contextual learning can improve students' understanding of geography subjects. Some schools supported by institutions have implemented contextual learning processes based on local potential. However, on the other hand, this study shows that there are obstacles in the contextual learning process. Among them are time constraints, and support from schools. This study concludes that contextual learning based on local potential has a positive impact on improving the meaning and quality of geography learning.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between urban expansion and land cover changes in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), with a focus on the impacts of transportation infrastructure and tourist attractions. Over recent decades, rapid urbanization driven by economic growth, improved transportation networks, and expanding tourism has significantly transformed land use patterns across the province. The development of the Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) and the improvement of road networks have been key drivers of urban sprawl, particularly in Sleman and Bantul. These areas have experienced the conversion of agricultural land into residential and commercial zones. The expansion of tourist destinations, such as Gunung Merapi and Prambanan, has further accelerated land use changes, intensifying urban growth and putting pressure on local ecosystems. This study utilizes satellite imagery and spatial regression models to examine land cover changes and their drivers, revealing that infrastructure development and the tourism sector play pivotal roles in shaping the region's landscape. The findings underscore the need for sustainable spatial planning policies to mitigate the environmental impacts of urban sprawl and ensure the long-term resilience of DIY's natural resources and cultural heritage.
