The implementation of healthy and safe school standards is a strategic effort to create a learning environment that supports the health and safety of elementary school students. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of healthy and safe school standards at SDN 6 Kendari, which is characterized by its proximity to a market and a main road. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design, involving field observations, the completion of a healthy and safe school indicator questionnaire, and interviews with educators. The results indicate that SDN 6 Kendari has met most of the healthy school indicators, evidenced by well-maintained buildings, adequate ventilation and lighting, proper sanitation and waste management, and students’ consistent practice of clean and healthy living behaviors. Regarding the safe school aspect, the school’s social environment is relatively conducive and free from risky behaviors, supported by the availability of a monitoring system and collaboration with relevant parties. However, several areas still require improvement, such as the equitable distribution of handwashing facilities, more strategic placement of portable fire extinguishers, and strengthening traffic risk mitigation measures due to the school’s location. Overall, the implementation of healthy and safe school standards at SDN 6 Kendari has been proceeding well, but requires continuous improvement to achieve optimal compliance with the standards.

Environmental pollution is a common problem in cities and can increase the likelihood of flooding. The purpose of this study is to analyze environmental pollution as a cause of flooding in the Pekapuran Street area, Depok City. This study applies a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, documentation, and literature review. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the accumulation of household waste around the drainage channels causes obstruction of water flow, which triggers flooding during rain. In addition, the shallow, mud-filled, and poorly maintained drainage conditions increase the risk of flooding. Low levels of public awareness of environmental cleanliness are also factors that exacerbate the condition. This study concludes that flooding on Pekapuran Street is influenced not only by high rainfall, but also by environmental pollution and a suboptimal drainage system. Based on this, better waste management and drainage maintenance are needed to minimize the risk of flooding in the area.

Mangrove forests are high-value coastal ecosystems that have the potential to be developed as sustainable ecotourism destinations. This study aims to analyze the development of Mangrove Forest Tourism in Kampung Kayu Ara Permai, Sungai Apit District, Siak Regency based on the three pillars of sustainable tourism of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), namely environmental, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature studies and semi-structured interviews with regional managers. The results of the study show that this area has a good mangrove ecosystem with nine species and an average Tourism Suitability Index (IKW) of 76.89% (Suitable/S2 category).
