The Coordination and Capacity: Evaluation of Institutional Preparedness for Tsunami Risk Reduction in the Coastal Tourism Destination of Pacitan Bay, East Java
Institutional preparedness for tsunamis in coastal tourism destinations, such as Pacitan Bay, is a critically understudied area. This qualitative research evaluates this preparedness through in-depth interviews with ten key stakeholders, including government agencies (BMKG, BPBD, BAPPEDA), local tourism offices, community groups (POKDARWIS), the private sector, and local business owners. A consensus exists on the high tsunami risk, attributed to the bay’s morphology and tectonic activity. While core strategies like hazard mapping, contingency planning, and early warning systems have been initiated, their implementation is hindered by three main constraints: (1) limited budgets leading to poor infrastructure maintenance, (2) weak and sporadic cross-sector collaboration, and (3) a lack of vertical evacuation facilities and tourist-specific education. The study concludes that institutional preparedness is at a developmental stage with multidimensional challenges. Therefore, it recommends an integrated intervention framework built on three pillars: (a) sustainable budgeting in local government and village funds, (b) structured collaboration using the Penta-helix model, and (c) local capacity strengthening via regular drills and a digital tourist information system. These recommendations are designed to bridge the gap between planning and action, thereby building operational resilience for the long-term sustainability of the Pacitan Bay coastal tourism destination.

Flood Risk Mapping and Evacuation Route Planning Using Network Analysis in Pasar Kliwon, Surakarta City, Indonesia
The Pasar Kliwon subdistrict in Surakarta is one of the areas vulnerable to flooding due to heavy rainfall, land-use changes, and inadequate drainage systems. These conditions highlight the need for flood vulnerability mapping and the planning of effective evacuation routes. This study aims to map flood vulnerability levels and determine optimal evacuation routes using a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. Overlay and scoring methods were used to analyze vulnerability based on topographic parameters, land use, rainfall, and soil conditions, while network analysis was applied to determine evacuation routes by considering accessibility and travel time. Analysis results indicate that Pasar Kliwon Subdistrict is divided into three vulnerability levels: low (176 ha), moderate (277 ha), and high (38 ha), with the majority of high-risk areas located along the banks of the Bengawan Solo River. Additionally, 11 evacuation routes were identified, connecting 10 assembly points to 9 evacuation shelters. Evacuation routes were selected based on the shortest distance and facility capacity, with several points serving as primary evacuation hubs. This study underscores the importance of utilizing GIS to support flood disaster mitigation and the development of safe and targeted evacuation strategies in densely populated urban areas.

An Analysis of Tourism Carrying Capacity in the Development of the Hortimart Agro Center Tourism Site, Bawen–Semarang
The increasing number of tourist visits to the Hortimart Agro Center from year to year presents new challenges in managing environmental carrying capacity. This study aims to analyze the tourism carrying capacity to ensure sustainability and enhance visitor experience quality. Utilizing a quantitative approach, this research involves calculations of physical carrying capacity (PCC) and effective carrying capacity (ECC), as well as a SWOT analysis to formulate appropriate development strategies. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation involving 100 respondents selected using accidental sampling. The findings indicate that the ECC value is only 10 persons per hour, while the actual number of visitors (JKr) reaches 230 persons per day, suggesting that the environmental capacity has been exceeded. Although the aspects of attraction, amenities, and accessibility received positive evaluations, weaknesses remain in attraction innovation and digital promotion. Therefore, a sustainable development strategy that includes capacity adjustment, service enhancement, and attraction diversification is essential to maintain the sustainability and competitiveness of the destination.

Mapping Public Transportation Accessibility Inequality in DKI Jakarta Using Moran’s I and LISA Analysis
Public transportation plays a central role in supporting community mobility, especially in megacities such as DKI Jakarta, which is experiencing high pressure due to population growth and urbanization. In recent years, the public transportation system in Jakarta has undergone rapid development through the introduction of modes such as TransJakarta, KRL, LRT, and MRT. However, this development has not been fully accompanied by equitable access, particularly in outlying areas that remain underserved. Therefore, this study aims to analyze spatial disparities in public transportation accessibility in Jakarta using geospatial and spatial statistical approaches. The methods used include mapping the distribution, density, and accessibility of the main public transportation modes (TransJakarta, KRL, LRT, MRT) as well as spatial autocorrelation tests using Moran’s I index and LISA with inverse distance and contiguity edges and corners approaches. The analysis results show a clustered spatial pattern, with the central city area classified as a High-High cluster (high accessibility), while peripheral areas such as East Jakarta and parts of North Jakarta are classified as Low-Low and Low-High clusters (low accessibility). These findings indicate significant disparities in the distribution of public transportation services. Therefore, this study recommends that public transportation planning in Jakarta be focused on areas with service deficits to achieve a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable mobility system.

Spatial Analysis of Stunting Cases and Accessibility to Supplementary Feeding Programs in Godong, Central of Java, Indonesia
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem with long-term impacts on human capital. Godong Subdistrict, Grobogan Regency, had a stunting prevalence of 20.78% in 2023, exceeding the WHO threshold. This study aims to analyze the distribution patterns of stunting cases, identify regional clusters, and evaluate community accessibility to Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) posts using a spatial approach based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The data used includes the number of stunting cases per village, the locations of PMT posts, as well as spatial data on administrative boundaries and road networks. Analyses were conducted using Moran’s I for global spatial autocorrelation, Getis-Ord Gi* for hotspot clustering, and buffer analysis to measure accessibility. The results indicate that the distribution pattern of stunting in Godong Subdistrict is random, although certain villages were identified as hotspots. Accessibility analysis showed that most villages are within a 1–2 km radius of a PMT post; however, there are still villages on the periphery of the area with limited access. These findings underscore the importance of spatial mapping to identify priority areas for intervention, ensuring that stunting reduction programs can be more effective and equitable.

Multi-Parameter Flood Hazard Assessment Using a Spatial Approachin Demak Regency
Flood is a frequent hydrometeorological disaster in Indonesia, and Demak Regency is highly vulnerable due to its coastal and lowland characteristics. This study analyzes flood hazard levels using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with six parameters: slope, elevation, rainfall, soil type, land use, and river buffer. Weighted overlay was applied to classify hazard zones. Results show that 74% of the area is highly vulnerable, 23% vulnerable, and only 2% not vulnerable. The highest risk occurs in coastal sub-districts such as Wedung, Sayung, Bonang, and Karanganyar, influenced by flat slopes, very low elevation, high rainfall, and land use dominated by rice fields, ponds, and settlements. Meanwhile, southern areas like Karangawen and Mranggen are relatively safer due to higher elevation and undulating topography. It is concluded that flood vulnerability in Demak is driven by multiple physical and environmental factors, requiring integrated mitigation through drainage improvement and land use management.

The Past, Present, and Future: Investigating Community Resilience in Tsunami Affected Coastal Areas after the 2018 Anak Krakatau Eruption
The southern coast of Lampung is highly vulnerable to tsunamis, particularly in the aftermath of the 2018 Sunda Strait event, which caused severe physical destruction and lasting psychological trauma. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to examine the psychological impacts on survivors, disaster literacy among vulnerable groups, and the role of local wisdom in mitigation efforts. Quantitative data were obtained through surveys of 80 children aged 10–12 years, while qualitative data were collected via interviews with community elders, women, older adults, and local residents. The findings indicate that survivors continue to experience trauma in the form of fear, anxiety, and recurring nightmares, although family support and religious activities have facilitated recovery. Children’s disaster literacy was found to be at a moderate level, whereas women and older adults demonstrated higher preparedness through their knowledge of evacuation routes and participation in simulations. Local wisdom including the interpretation of natural signs, oral folklore, and communal prayers remains influential, despite the gradual decline of certain traditions. These findings highlight the importance of integrating local wisdom with technology, education, and institutional support to strengthen mitigation strategies in coastal areas.

Flood Resilience and Community Adaptation in Bengkulu City, Indonesia
Flooding has become a recurrent hazard in Bengkulu City due to high rainfall intensity, inadequate drainage systems, and rapid urban development in flood-prone areas, which increasingly exposes communities to social, economic, and environmental losses. However, empirical assessments of community resilience and adaptive capacity remain limited, particularly from a community-based perspective. This study aims to assess the level of resilience and adaptive capacity of communities in Bengkulu City in responding to flood disasters using the Climate and Disaster Resilience Initiative (CDRI) framework combined with a scoring technique. Primary data were collected through questionnaires administered to residents living in flood-prone zones, while secondary data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency and the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Bengkulu City. The results indicate that Bengkulu City covers approximately 15,600 hectares, of which 4,950 hectares (31.7%) are classified as flood-prone areas, consisting of high-hazard (2,130 ha), moderate-hazard (1,970 ha), and low-hazard zones (850 ha). The most affected districts include Muara Bangkahulu, Sungai Serut, and Ratu Samban. The overall adaptive resilience score of 62.4 falls within the moderate category, indicating that communities possess basic adaptive capacity but remain weak in institutional coordination and disaster preparedness. These findings imply the need for strengthening early warning systems, enhancing disaster education, improving flood-resilient infrastructure, and promoting community-based empowerment to improve adaptive resilience. The study provides practical insights for local governments to formulate evidence-based and community-oriented flood risk reduction policies aimed at building long-term urban resilience.

Integration of Remote Sensing, Cellular Automata, and Carbon Modeling for Predicting Land Use Change and Carbon Stock Loss in Central Lampung Regency"
It was a quantitative research in which the data was compared using the logistic regression and the data were collected and documented through observation and documentation and MOLUSCE (Model For Land Use Change Simulation) model in QGIS Las Palmas 2.18.15. Landsat 7 imagery (2013), Landsat 8 imagery (2018, 2023), administrative, settlements, road network, soil type, and slope shapefiles are some of the data used. Based on the findings of the analysis, population growth and pressure on the land use resulted in the Central Lampung Regency experiencing significant landuse changes throughout the period of 2013- 2023. By 2023, the land area on dry agricultural land was reduced to 15162531 hectares, which was against 21662131 hectares in 2013. In fact, the developed land had expanded to a vast magnitude of 73,019.89 to 114,615.89 hectares within the same period signifying high needs of infrastructure and houses. It is projected that built-up land (29.06 percent) and bare land (28.72 percent) will be the biggest land covers in 2043 and this indicates high urbanization process and value of land renting strategy high. Such developments cause severe effects on the availability of land resources and the environment, and this is the reason why the effective and sustainable development can be ensured with the help of proper government policies.

Geospatial Perspective in the Distribution and Zoning Model of Senior High Schools in Bandar Lampung City
The school zoning system aims to improve equitable access to education; however, its effectiveness largely depends on the spatial distribution and availability of educational facilities. This study analyzes the spatial distribution and zoning evaluation of 17 public senior high schools in Bandar Lampung City based on the 2024 New Student Admission (PPDB) Technical Guidelines. A quantitative approach was employed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including geoprocessing and buffering techniques to map service zones. Data were obtained through documentation and field observations, then analyzed using: (1) Nearest Neighbour Analysis (NNA) to identify distribution patterns, and (2) GIS-based buffering to delineate service areas. The results show: (1) the distribution pattern of public senior high schools is random (NNA value = 1 km), indicating uneven spatial distribution; and (2) buffering analysis within 0–3000 meters identifies both served and underserved areas, particularly in suburban regions such as Panjang, Telukbetung Barat, and Sukabumi. The findings conclude that the 3 km zoning radius is not yet optimal in ensuring equitable access across all areas. Policy recommendations include: (1) establishing new school units in underserved regions, (2) adjusting zoning policies based on spatial analysis, and (3) optimizing school transportation. These results emphasize the need to integrate GIS into spatially based educational planning.

The Influence Between Place of Residence and Disaster Adaptation Capacity Among Generation Z
Lampung Province is categorized as a highly vulnerable area due to its proximity to the Indian Ocean, the Sunda Strait, and the volcanic activity of Anak Krakatau. This geographical setting poses significant adaptation challenges, particularly for Generation Z, a strategic age group in disaster mitigation. This study aims to examine the relationship between place of residence and tsunami disaster adaptation capacity among Generation Z, with a specific focus on geographical proximity to the Megathrust and Krakatau Volcano. A quantitative approach was employed through an online survey distributed to 261 students of the University of Lampung. Data were analyzed using descriptive non-inferential statistics and multiple linear regression. The results indicate variations in disaster literacy levels across regions, with the highest scores reported by respondents from Bekasi (100) and Prabumulih (98), while the lowest scores were observed in Musi Banyuasin (66.5) and Medan (69.67). However, regression analysis revealed that geographical distance from either the Megathrust or Krakatau had no significant effect on tsunami literacy (Sig. > 0.05). These findings highlight that distance is not the primary determinant; rather, disaster experience, access to information, education, and local policy play a more substantial role in shaping the preparedness of Generation Z. The study recommends integrating disaster literacy into higher education curricula and strengthening evacuation simulations as adaptive strategies

Societal Adaptation to Coastal Tidal Flooding in Sayung Subdistrict, Demak Regency
Tidal flooding (rob) along Pantura Road in Sayung District, Demak Regency has compelled local communities to adopt diverse adaptation strategies for survival. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, this research explored coastal community adaptation strategies through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that adaptation varies according to economic capacity. Physical adaptations include raising house foundations, constructing multi-story buildings, and adopting stilt house designs. Socioeconomic adaptations involve collective action to remove road barriers, repurposing newly inundated pond areas, and diversifying livelihoods. Public facility adaptations are evident in the elevation of cemetery grounds and the modification of school infrastructure. Government interventions support these efforts through the development of pumping systems, construction of water barriers, and dredging of sedimentation channels. While tidal flooding reaching up to 40 cm disrupts daily community activities, it also creates new economic opportunities, particularly in fish cultivation. Overall, the study demonstrates that community adaptation is both dynamic and rooted in local wisdom, enabling resilience in the face of climate change impacts. These insights provide valuable contributions to understanding coastal community resilience and serve as references for adaptive management policies in similarly vulnerable coastal regions experiencing sea-level rise and recurrent tidal flooding.

The construction of the JJLS (Southern Cross Road Network) project in Kulon Progo Regency passes through Kapanewon Galur, Panjatan, Wates, and Temon to connect the Provinces of DIY and Central Java. The development of JJLS infrastructure can lead to the development of residential land and other functional buildings in the surrounding areas (Hendry, 2021). This study attempts to determine changes in land use variability due to the construction of JJLS in Kulon Progo Regency. Based on this information, changes in land use that occur intensively in certain areas can be monitored and detected early, so that appropriate policies can be formulated to prevent uncontrolled changes in land use. The research method used in this study is the interpretation of digital sentinel 2 imagery, which is then overlayed with a land use map to determine land changes that occurred in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Statistical analysis was carried out to determine the effect of JJLS development on land use changes in Kulon Progo Regency, especially in the sub-districts through which JJLS passes. The results of the study showed that there were significant changes in land use in the range of 2016, 2020 and 2024. Based on the results of the RCI calculation in 2016 to 2020, the lowest RCI value was 0,2917 and the highest value was 3,156. While the RCI value for 2020 to 2024 had the lowest value of 0.3862 and the highest was 2,1791. Based on the RCI value, it is divided into 3 classes, low, medium, and high, in order to represent the intensity of change in each village. Based on the results of statistical calculations, it can be concluded that there is a strong influence between the JJLS variable and the growth of built-up land in the research area.

The Relationship Between Subdistrict Spatial Development, Agricultural Land Conversion Rate, and Business Investment Growth in Pacitan Regency
The regional development of Pacitan Regency is significantly influenced by land-use conversion dynamics and business investment activities based on the KKPR (Conformity of Spatial Utilization Activities), particularly following the construction of strategic infrastructure such as the South Coast Route (JLS). This study aims to analyze the relationship between regional development, the rate of agricultural land conversion, and the rate of KKPR-based investment across 12 subdistricts using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from infrastructure availability, land conversion requests, and KKPR permits, then analyzed using the scalogram method, centrality index, and multiple linear regression via SPSS. The results indicate that Pacitan Subdistrict functions as the primary service center with the highest score (455.59), also recording the highest land conversion rate. The correlation between regional development and land conversion is very strong, whereas the relationship with investment rate is statistically insignificant. Regression analysis shows land-use conversion as the dominant influencing factor (R² = 0.967). This study highlights the urgency of land conversion control and spatially equitable investment strategies to support sustainable and balanced regional development

The Meaning of Place in Historic Building (Case Study: Three Urban Heritage Tourism Destinations at Kesawan Medan)
Based on the Regional Spatial Planning of Medan City for the years 2011-2031, several Cultural Heritage Areas have been established that include various historical buildings, one of which is located in the Old City area of Kesawan. The presence of historical buildings such as the Lonsum Building, Tjong A Fie, and Pos Bloc coexists with the rapid business and culinary activities on Ahmad Yani Street and Balai Kota Street. There are indications that a shift in visitation orientation has occurred where the meaning of tourism is stronger compared to a comprehensive exploration of history. The aim of this research is to analyze the meaning of place at three historical buildings and its implications for regional development. This research is qualitative with a geographical approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with 36 informants selected through purposive sampling. The research results show that the meaning of place in the three historical buildings is more dominated functionally, socially, and emotionally than by regional romanticism. The shift in the meaning of historical buildings is a consequence of the massive development of alternative tourism in urban areas. Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize the cultural heritage area involving elements of the community, government, and private sector, with the hope that the authentic value of historical buildings is not entirely eroded by the modernity of urban development.

Spatial Distribution of Macrozoobenthos in Relation toOceanographic Parameters in the Marine Waters Surrounding TundaIsland
This study explores the spatial distribution of macrozoobenthos in relation to oceanographic parameters in the waters surrounding Pulau Tunda, Banten. A combination of remote sensing data namely sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, chlorophyll-a concentration, and bathymetry was utilized alongside direct field sampling at three designated stations. Oceanographic data were extracted from Landsat 8 imagery and GEBCO bathymetric sources, processed using ArcGIS Pro and Global Mapper. The Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indices were applied to assess biodiversity and species dominance. Results reveal that areas exhibiting SST between 28–31°C, moderate salinity levels (31–32 ppt), and high chlorophyll-a concentrations tend to support moderately diverse and stable benthic communities, predominantly composed of gastropods. The findings highlight the utility of remote sensing for habitat prediction and emphasize the ecological potential of Pulau Tunda's coastal waters.

Spatial Distribution Analysis of Land Use, Land Surface Temperature, and Temperature-Humidity Index in Bogor City in 2004, 2014, and 2024
Rapid urbanization in Bogor City in 2004, 2014, and 2024 caused significant changes in land use, marked by an increase in built-up areas and a decrease in vegetation cover. These changes triggered an increase in Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Temperature Humidity Index (THI), which had an impact on heat stress, health disorders, and a decline in quality of life. This study analyzes the relationship between land use changes and LST and THI and develops an interactive web application for visualization. Land classification was performed using the Random Forest algorithm, LST was calculated from Landsat thermal bands (TM 2004, OLI/TIRS 2014 & 2024), and THI was based on Air Temperature (T(a) )and Relative Humidity (RH). The results show that built-up land increased by 2,074 ha (from 4,371 ha to 6,445 ha), in line with an increase in average LST from 26.16°C to 27.13°C and THI from 24.30 to 24.90. In conclusion, the increase in built-up area contributed significantly to the rise in LST and THI, emphasizing the importance of sustainable spatial planning, such as optimizing green open spaces to maintain thermal comfort and quality of life.Keywords:
