This study explores the impact of tourism on environmental health in the coastal tourist area of Ancol Beach, Jakarta. As a major tourist destination in North Jakarta, Ancol Beach has experienced significant growth in visitor numbers annually. While tourism in this area provides positive contributions such as boosting the local economy and creating employment opportunities, it also poses negative environmental impacts, particularly in terms of marine pollution and increased waste accumulation during peak tourist seasons. Using a qualitative approach, this research combines in- depth interviews and field observations to analyze these issues. The results indicate that, despite adequate waste management efforts, the surge in visitors creates challenges in maintaining environmental cleanliness and marine ecosystem health. Additionally, tourists' awareness of environmental responsibility tends to decline during high-traffic periods. This study recommends enhancing waste management facilities and intensifying environmental education to support sustainable tourism management at Ancol Beach.  

Plastic waste is one of the sources of problems for all living things, especially humans and their environment. So there is a need for awareness of this adverse impact. Measures such as the use of environmentally friendly alternatives, plastic reduction education, and government policies to limit the production and distribution of single-use plastics are increasingly being promoted. By implementing these alternative measures, it can have an impact on keeping our earth clean. The method used in this research is normative juridical, this research leads to the scientific field of law, regulations, and provisions that apply to a problem. In this case, a review of laws and regulations relating to plastic waste reduction policies is carried out. Meanwhile, the meaning of normative legal research is research conducted by looking at any library material as secondary data and is also considered as library legal research. According to the Jambeck Research Group report in 2015, Indonesia ranks second after China in the contribution of plastic waste to the ocean, with an estimated 3.2 million tons of plastic waste per year, and around 640,000-1.29 million tons end up at sea. By 2024, plastic waste in Indonesia is projected to reach around 13.98% of the total national waste generation, with an estimated volume of around 9.9 million tons. As a wise individual, we should not only rely on government policies in dealing with plastic waste, but each individual must be educated in order to create awareness of the dangers of the impact caused by the waste of plastic use.

The aim of this research is to explore the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an innovative medium in learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) to increase elementary school students' awareness and understanding of preserving natural resources. This research uses a quasi-experimental research method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects were fifth grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia, who were divided into an experimental group that used AR media and a control group that used conventional learning media. The research results show that the use of AR media significantly increases students' understanding of the concept of preserving natural resources compared to traditional learning methods. In addition, students in the experimental group showed higher levels of learning motivation as well as active participation in class discussions. The implication of this research is that AR technology can be an effective and interesting learning tool in teaching complex environmental topics. The use of AR not only helps students understand concepts visually and interactively, but also motivates them to be more actively involved in efforts to conserve natural resources. The results of this research provide a basis for the development of technology-based learning media that can be applied in various educational contexts, especially to support sustainable education at the elementary school level.
