Negative Space: Student Voice of Green Space and Joy for Urban Planning in Malang
Public spaces, including green open spaces, play a major role in improving the quality of life of the surrounding community. However, the mismatch between urban planning and actual utilization triggers negative perceptions of such spaces, because it can affect their functionality, aesthetics, and social comfort. Previous studies have documented the benefits of ecology, social, and mental health in humans from green open spaces, but previous observations have paid little attention to the less functional or neglected parts (negative spaces). In addition, students' opinions on green open spaces are less considered. This observation uses a quality method by exploring how students' perspectives and opinions on less functional or neglected green open spaces (negative spaces) and encouraging students towards urban planning. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and visual documentation in green open spaces frequently visited by students in Malang. Thematic analysis revealed diverse student experiences, with common concerns about neglected areas, lack of maintenance, and suboptimal functions, which reduce feelings of joy and comfort. The results of the study provide an answer that negative space indicates a sense of discomfort and lack of social interaction, and is contrary to the purpose of green open space which can provide restorative benefits. These findings provide valuable advice in planning a more inclusive and functional urban spatial plan in the future, ensuring that green open space is used effectively and improves social cohesion and quality in the midst of the urban environment

Assessment of Social Vulnerability and Post-Earthquake Affected Areas in Sumedang Regency
This research aims to map social vulnerabilities and affected areas after the earthquake in Sumedang Regency. Social vulnerability was mapped using scoring adapted from the Regulation of the Chairman of the National Disaster Management Agency number 2 of 2012 which researchers modified according to existing data in 2024. Social vulnerability data is population density, sex ratio, vulnerable age group ratio, population ratio poor and disabled population ratio. The affected areas were mapped using field surveys and visualized using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. However, previous studies have not yet integrated dynamic post-disaster social changes or validated the vulnerability classifications with real-time community resilience indicators. Based on research, it was found that Sumedang Regency has 11 sub-districts including high classification, 8 sub-districts with medium classification and 7 sub-districts with low classification. The high classification of social vulnerability is in the central urban area of Sumedang Regency and the southern area bordering Bandung Regency. The survey results show that an area with a radius of 2 km is a very vulnerable area, a radius of 4 km is vulnerable and 6 km is medium. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that areas with high social vulnerability and those affected by earthquakes were very vulnerable, namely North Sumedang District, Cisarua District, Cimalaka District and Ganeas District.

Identification of Land Surface Temperature (LST) using Multitemporal Sentinel 3 Images from 2019-2023 Case Study: Padang City Area, West Sumatra
Land Surface Temperature (LST) is widely utilized in current studies, particularly as an initial survey tool to assess geothermal activity in locations suspected to have geothermal sources. The research method involves geometric correction of Sentinel-3 imagery and conversion of temperature units from Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C) to ensure accuracy in temperature measurement. Image data processing from Sentinel-3, including thermal band analysis, is carried out to generate land surface temperature values. The field-measured temperatures are then compared to the land surface temperature data obtained through processing. The temperatures in the location, ranging from 23°C to 35°C, fall within the minimum geothermal temperature range, indicating potential geothermal activity. However, the LST values from the image data exhibit some differences compared to the on-site measurements. These discrepancies are categorized into classes I (23.7 – 24°C), II (24 – 24.3°C), and III (24.3 – 24.8°C), marked by red areas in the LST values. These discrepancies are attributed to various factors during image recording and processing, such as atmospheric interference and sensor calibration.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Thermal Comfort in High-Density Residential Areas in the Urban Region of Unaaha
Thermal comfort plays a vital role in the health, productivity, and well-being of urban communities and serves as a critical indicator in sustainable urban planning. This study aims to analyze thermal comfort levels in dense residential areas and planned residential zones within the Unaaha urban area, using satellite data from two specific years, 2014 and 2024, selected to capture a decade of urban change. The methodology employs Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery complemented by shapefile data of planned residential areas in Unaaha District, providing spatial context for detailed analysis. The spatial resolution and quality of the satellite imagery ensure reliable detection of land surface temperature and vegetation changes. A series of index transformations, including Urban Index (UI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Land Surface Temperature (LST), Modified Temperature Humidity Index (MTHI), and Thermal Index (TI), were applied to assess thermal comfort dynamics. Results indicate significant changes in thermal comfort between 2014 and 2024, with a shift in dominant categories from “uncomfortable” (60.5%) in 2014 to “less comfortable” (67.71%) in 2024 within dense residential areas. Evaluation of the 2024 planned residential zones reveals a predominance of “less comfortable” (45.34%) and “uncomfortable” (27.81%) classes. These findings suggest that current residential planning has not adequately balanced green open spaces and built-up areas, thereby limiting the natural cooling effects. This outcome aligns with previous studies emphasizing the critical role of green infrastructure in mitigating urban heat, underscoring the need for integrative planning approaches that prioritize thermal comfort in urban development.
Spatial Analysis of Public Green Open Space Availability Based on Area and Population in Tapin Utara Sub-District
This study aims to assess the availability of public green open spaces (GOS) in North Tapin District and to calculate the required GOS based on current population size, land area, and projected demographic growth up to the year 2044. Employing a quantitative descriptive methodology, the research utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis complemented by field observations and ground truthing to ensure data accuracy. The study area includes all public green open spaces within the district boundaries. Results reveal that the total public GOS area is approximately 35.82 hectares, representing 5.48% of the district’s total land area—substantially below the minimum regulatory standard of 20%. Population projections indicate a future GOS demand of 72.16 hectares by 2044, highlighting a significant shortfall in current provision. These findings demonstrate that North Tapin District’s existing green open spaces are insufficient to meet both present and anticipated needs, underscoring the urgent requirement for strategic urban planning interventions to expand and optimize green space allocation.
The Impact of the Bahteramas Bridge Construction on the Socioeconomic Conditions of the Community in Abeli District
The construction of the bridge connecting Abeli District and Nambo District in Kendari City has had significant impacts on the socio-economic conditions of the local community, including employment opportunities, income levels, social cohesion, and public safety. This research aims to quantitatively assess the effects of the bridge infrastructure development on these socio-economic factors in Abeli District. Data were collected through structured interviews with 156 respondents residing within a 500-meter radius of the bridge, selected via [specify sampling method, e.g., purposive or random sampling]. The collected data were analyzed using simple linear regression and descriptive statistical methods to evaluate relationships between infrastructure development and socio-economic variables. The results indicate a statistically significant positive relationship between bridge infrastructure and community social activities, with a regression coefficient of 0.421 (p < 0.05). This suggests that the bridge has facilitated stronger social ties by connecting previously separated communities across Kendari Bay, improving access, and reducing travel distances to educational facilities. Additionally, the economic analysis reveals a positive impact on community income, particularly among traders, with a regression coefficient of 0.473 (p < 0.05). This effect is attributed to increased consumption by bridge construction workers and enhanced accessibility, alongside a notable reduction in transportation expenses, including fuel costs and crossing fees.
Implementation of Zoning Theory Based on the Concept of Tri Hita Karana, Tri Mandala and Sanga Mandala of Mas Village, Ubud, Bali in Maintaining Cultural Values
This study examines the implementation of zoning theory grounded in the Balinese philosophical concepts of Tri Hita Karana, Tri Mandala, and Sanga Mandala in Mas Village, Ubud, Bali, to preserve cultural values amidst rapid tourism growth. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach within a naturalistic paradigm, the research integrates Landis’s (1958) theory of social structure and Bintarto’s (1983) spatial-economic interaction framework to analyze spatial organization. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, using snowball sampling to engage key informants, including adat leaders and community members. Findings reveal that Desa Mas effectively maintains Tri Hita Karana’s harmony (Parhyangan, Pawongan, Palemahan) through zoned spatial planning, with Utama Mandala preserving sacred spaces, Madya Mandala fostering social activities, and Nista Mandala supporting economic functions. However, tourism-driven land conversion threatens traditional zoning, shifting economic activities from artisanal crafts to commercial ventures. The study underscores the resilience of Balinese zoning principles in sustaining cultural identity, yet highlights the need for adaptive strategies to mitigate modernization’s impact. By blending traditional philosophies with modern zoning theories, this research offers insights for sustainable spatial planning in culturally sensitive tourism destinations, contributing to global discourses on cultural preservation and urban-rural dynamics.
Optimization of Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) Distribution Using a Geospatial Approach Based at Pasar Lama Fish Landing Site, Kaur Regency
Kaur Regency is a coastal area in Bengkulu Province with capture fisheries activities dominated by tuna commodities. The use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) by fishermen at the Pasar Lama Fish Landing Site is the main tool for collecting fish. However, increasing the number of FADs without proper management has the potential to cause conflicts in the use of marine space and the degradation of aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of FADs and determine the ideal number of FADs based on geospatial and spatial statistical approaches. Data were collected through interviews, participatory mapping, and GPS tracking of fishermen, then analyzed using ArcGIS through the stages of analyzing the distance between FADs (pairwise distance), buffers, overlays with conservation areas and shipping lanes, and scoring based on three criteria: distance between FADs ≥10 nautical miles, outside the conservation area, and the shipping lane. The results showed that all 38 existing FAD points did not meet the distance criteria of ≥10 nautical miles, with 75% of the distance being between 5–10 nautical miles and 2% <1 nautical miles. Scoring also showed that there were no optimal points, and several FADs were in conservation areas. Based on the total distribution area of 9,695.21 km² and the ideal zone area per fish aggregating device of 813.78 km² (calculated based on the 10-nautical-mile minimum distance radius), the ideal number of fish aggregating devices is 12 points. This study emphasizes the importance of Education and supervision of FADs management to support the sustainability of fisheries and the protection of marine ecosystems fairly and sustainably. The findings also offer a spatially driven approach to inform evidence-based policy and support the digital transformation of FADs monitoring systems in coastal fisheries management.

UTILIZATION OF ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE IN MARKETING CATALOG INNOVATION OF JAMBI SOUVE PRODUCTS
In the 5.0 era, the focus is on human mindset based on technology, one of which is utilizing marketing innovation to increase economic growth in Indonesia. Development of a computer system that is capable of being run by humans in completing life tasks at the financial level of the economy, namely being able to apply an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system which is unique because it is able to work according to certain computer system programming algorithms, programming algorithms are an artificial intelligence framework for processing various types of data . AI has many benefits in various aspects of life, especially in the economic aspect in Indonesia. Economic growth in Indonesia has experienced a decline due to Covid-19, one of which is Jambi Province which has experienced a decline in economic growth. Based on data obtained from the Bank Indonesia Representative for Jambi Province, it shows that economic growth in Jambi City in 2019 was 4.35%, in 2020 it changed to -0.51% from 11,000 MSMEs during the Covid-19 period which resulted in bankruptcy. In 2021, 8,300 MSMEs were registered in Jambi City, amounting to 3.69%. In 2022 it will increase to 5.13% with the number of MSMEs now reaching more than 60,000, with an average of dominant businesses in the culinary food and beverage sector. With the increase in MSME players every year, marketing competitiveness is getting stronger. This requires MSME players to be able to adapt to keep up with the times, while consumer behavior currently prefers to shop online considering the time and affordability of cheap prices compared to shopping in person. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and news on the WEB. This research uses the Manual Data Analysis Procedure (MDAP) analysis technique to analyze transcription data from interviews that have been obtained directly from the field by informants who follow the purposive sampling technique. These findings use the theory of utilizing AI and business marketing innovations which make it easier for producers and consumers to obtain the right profits.
Soil Organic Matter and Soil Organic Carbon in Barito Delta
Soil organic matter and soil organic carbon is essential indication of soil carbon stock in terrestrial ecosystem particularly in peatland. Spatial distribution of soil organic carbon and soil organic matter is primary assessment to predict future soil condition under climate change traits. Barito Delta is one of peatland areas in Kalimantan Island that experiences urban expansion. It is necessary to assess distribution of soil organic carbon and soil organic matter to define the potential traits of urbanization and climate change to carbon stock condition in this delta. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the distribution of soil organic matter and soil organic carbon in Barito Delta. Fieldwork measurement is performed to take sample of soil organic matter for each layer within 5 m soil depth. Inverse distance weighting interpolation is used to determine the spatial distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) applying in R software. The value of SOM and SOC decrease along the increase of soil depth so that the largest percentage of SOM and SOC is in the first layer. Large value of SOM and SOC are mostly in the southern part of Barito Delta since it is bordered with sea water and downstream of rivers. The maximum value of SOM is ~12 % in the first layer, while 8.3 % of SOC in the first layer. Nevertheless, the value of SOC decrease in the near future, it is as indication Barito Delta contribute to carbon stock loss realizing to atmosphere that can rise greenhouse gasses and climate change.
