Kauman merupakan permukiman perkotaan di Kota Surakarta, Jawa Tengah yang juga memiliki nilai sejarah tinggi. Dahulunya merupakan tempat tinggal para abdi dalem Keraton serta para khatib Masjid Agung Surakarta. Selain sebagai permukiman, kawasan ini juga menjadi pusat kegiatan keagamaan. Seiring perkembangan zaman dengan bertambahnya penduduk beserta kebutuhan ekonominya, kawasan sekitar Kauman tumbuh menjadi pusat komersial. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang meningkat pesat kemudian memicu beberapa bangunan termasuk Kauman beralih fungsi menjadi pertokoan. Terletak di tengah kota dan menjadi pusat aktivitas memicu peningkatan tekanan pembangunan di Kauman, sehingga menjadikan kawasan ini tidak sepenuhnya lagi berfungsi sebagai permukiman. Eksistensi budaya di Kauman perlahan menurun seiring terjadinya perubahan fungsi lahan dan dikhawatirkan dapat meningkatkan risiko kehilangan atau keaslian permukiman perkotaan. Maka dari itu, Kauman sudah selayaknya mendapat perhatian khusus untuk keberlanjutan kawasannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keberlanjutan kawasan Kauman Surakarta. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi landasan pengembangan kawasan sehingga dapat melestarikan Kampung Kauman Surakarta.

This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the need for the development of a chemistry e-module combined with the KingDraw application on isomer material at SMA Al Islam 1 Surakarta. This study uses a survey methodology with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from interviews with chemistry teachers and the results of filling out questionnaires by 84 students. The results of this study indicate that teachers have not developed technology-based teaching materials that can help students in learning chemistry. The teaching materials used are in the form of textbooks containing writings and several two-dimensional images. Thus, it can be said that learning is still conventional and has not followed the development of the digitalization era. This is indicated by the minimal use of technology in learning activities. In learning, teachers only rely on lecture and discussion methods. Therefore, it can be concluded that the development of a chemistry e-module collaborated with the KingDraw application needs to be implemented to motivate students to learn and improve their understanding of chemical concepts independently. This module can also be used anytime and anywhere.

Clustering is one of the methods in data mining used in grouping data based on certain characteristics. This study aims to compare the performance of the K-Means Clustering and Hierarchical Clustering methods in clustering Senior High Schools (SMA) in Surakarta based on the parameters of the number of students, facilities, accreditation scores, and school achievements.
