Coastal areas are highly dynamic and increasingly exposed to physical pressures such as coastal erosion, shoreline change, inundation, and sea-level rise. In Indonesia, most coastal vulnerability studies remain focused on physical mapping and have not been systematically integrated with spatial planning evaluation. This study aims to analyze physical coastal vulnerability using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) and integrate the results with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) in the coastal areas of Mangarabombang and Laikang Sub-districts, Takalar Regency. A quantitative spatial approach was applied using eight parameters, which were reclassified into vulnerability scores, transformed into CVI values, and classified using quartile methods. The results show that high and very high vulnerability classes dominate the coastal area. Spatial integration reveals that several development zones intersect with high vulnerability levels, indicating potential spatial mismatch. This study confirms that CVI can be operationalized as a spatial evaluation tool to support adaptive and risk-based coastal planning.

Agrarian conflict is a common issue in development processes, particularly when changes in land ownership or control involve various interests. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of agrarian conflict in the coastal area of ​​Atapupu Beach, Jenilu Village, Kakuluk Mesak District, Belu Regency, triggered by the land acquisition process by the Defense University (UNHAN). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method to understand the social conditions developing in the community. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The results indicate that the conflict arose due to changes in community access to coastal areas previously used for economic activity. The presence of UNHAN has restricted community activities in the Fish Auction Place (TPI) area, previously a center for fishing activities. This situation has given rise to social tensions between the community and the area management. This study emphasizes that coastal area management needs to consider local community interests through a dialogical and participatory approach to minimize agrarian conflict.

Hypertension is one of the most common health problems among the elderly and has the potential to cause serious complications such as heart disease and stroke. Dietary patterns and lifestyle factors are known to play an important role in increasing blood pressure, particularly fat intake and sleep quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fat intake and sleep quality with the incidence of hypertension among elderly individuals in the coastal area of Tuban District. This study used an analytical observational design with a case-control approach. The total number of respondents in this study was 136 elderly individuals, consisting of 68 cases (elderly with hypertension) and 68 controls (elderly without hypertension). Data on fat intake were obtained using a 24-hour food recall method, while sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-Square test with a significance level of α ≤ 0.05. The results showed that there were significant relationships between fat intake (p = 0.000) and sleep quality (p = 0.000) with the incidence of hypertension among the elderly in the coastal area of Tuban District. Elderly individuals with high fat intake and poor sleep quality were more frequently found in the hypertension group compared to the non-hypertension group. In conclusion, fat intake and sleep quality are associated with the occurrence of hypertension among the elderly. Hypertension control efforts can be carried out through limiting fat intake and maintaining good sleep quality.

Sutera Subdistrict is an area affected by floods and landslides, causing significant damage to residential areas. Most houses suffered severe damage and are no longer habitable, making housing relocation a crucial post-disaster response. This study aims to identify settlements located in disaster-prone zones and determine potential land areas for housing relocation in Sutera. The method applied involves scoring and weighting combined with spatial analysis of various physical parameters and disaster vulnerability levels.The results indicate that Sutera Subdistrict has considerable potential land for housing relocation, with the highest potential found in Nagari Amping Parak Timur. However, the physical characteristics of the area and variations in disaster vulnerability require selective and planned land utilization. Disaster vulnerability maps serve as an essential basis for spatial planning and development control, particularly in determining relocation sites. In addition, strengthening mitigation efforts and enhancing community preparedness are necessary to minimize disaster risks and support the development of a safer and more sustainable area.

Children living in coastal areas face various challenges in developing their literacy and creative potential due to limited access to non-formal educational facilities and adequate learning resources. This condition results in low stimulation of reading, writing, communication, and creative expression skills from an early age. This community service activity aims to develop the potential of coastal children through basic literacy learning and community-based creative arts in Wawatu Village, North Moramo District, South Konawe Regency. The method applied is a community-based participatory approach with an experiential learning design, actively involving children in various educational activities such as shared reading, storytelling, drawing, coloring, singing, reading children’s poetry, and group-based educational games. Data were collected through participatory observation, brief interviews with children, parents, and community leaders, as well as simple questionnaires to assess participants’ responses and satisfaction levels. The results indicate high enthusiasm among the children, with most participants stating that they were very happy and happy to take part in the entire series of activities. The children became more active in interacting, more confident in expressing their opinions, and showed increased interest in reading and artistic activities.

Organizational Culture and Leadership Style simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the Pesisir Selatan Regency DPMDPPKB. Therefore, it can be concluded that if Organizational Culture and Leadership Style improve simultaneously, employee performance will also improve.

This study aims to analyze the influence of coastal cultural tradition-based learning media in the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) on students' learning interest at MTsN 3 Tuban. The background of this research is the lack of integration of coastal local wisdom in learning while the characteristics of madrasah students require a contextual approach that connects material with the surrounding environment. The study uses a quantitative approach with a pretest -experimental design involving 36 eighth-grade students as samples. The research instrument is a learning interest questionnaire with a Likert scale covering aspects of attention, interest, involvement, and continuous desire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and normalized gain test. The results showed a significant increase in students' learning interest with an average score increasing from 68.75 in the pre-test to 82.94 in the post-test with an N-Gain value of 0.45 in the medium category. These findings identify that coastal cultural tradition-based learning media have a positive impact on increasing students' learning interest through contextual and meaningful learning.

This community service program develops a pilot model of Pancasila Village based on Asta Cita in Paciran Village, Lamongan Regency through the integration of three intervention clusters: (1) national seminar to strengthen Pancasila values ​​and the agenda of “building from the village”, (2) training on downstreaming palm sap as a strengthening of the local economy and entrepreneurship based on village potential, and (3) coastal rehabilitation action through planting sea pine as an environmental adaptation in sandy coastal areas that are vulnerable to wind and erosion. The implementation method uses a participatory and asset-based approach (ABCD) that places residents as the main actors, with a series of activities including socialization, cross-party coordination, training on processing palm sap into value-added products (brown sugar and syrup), seminars with community leaders and academics, planting sea pine, and pre-post evaluation based on knowledge, skills observation, and participant satisfaction. The implementation results show the formation of a cross-generational commitment to make Paciran Village a pilot Pancasila Village, increased community capacity in palm sap processing, and the birth of collective coastal rehabilitation actions. The program also produced sustainability recommendations in the form of routine cross-generational agendas, utilization of village social media for educational content on Pancasila–nira–cemara laut, and the appointment of Pancasila students as environmental sustainability ambassadors in the village.

The traditional homes of indigenous communities in Indonesia are highly vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, due to Indonesia's location in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which experiences high seismic activity. This situation demands the strengthening of traditional buildings to withstand potential earthquakes. Stilt houses, as a form of traditional architecture, possess characteristics that actually support earthquake resilience, such as flexible structures, the use of lightweight materials, and the application of local wisdom passed down through generations. With the development of modern construction techniques, stilt houses have the potential to become safer and more adaptable dwellings to earthquake shocks. However, indigenous communities, particularly those living in earthquake-prone areas and with lower levels of education, often face limited knowledge and skills related to the basic principles of earthquake-resistant construction. This lack of understanding results in traditional house construction without considering structural safety aspects, ultimately increasing the risk of serious damage and even collapse during an earthquake. These impacts not only threaten life but also cause significant material losses. This community service activity aims to improve the preparedness and resilience of the Sentani Indigenous community by developing earthquake-resistant stilt house models, increasing knowledge and skills in earthquake-safe house construction and maintenance, and encouraging the use of innovative technology and materials. The expected outcomes are the creation of model houses that can serve as examples and the dissemination of information on earthquake-resistant construction technology.

This study formulates a design concept for the Beach Tourism Resort Area in Botubarani Village by applying tropical architecture that responds to coastal climatic conditions while enhancing the quality of visitor experiences. The research integrates principles of thermal comfort, environmental sustainability, and the ecological potential of coastal environments as the basis for creating climate-adaptive and environmentally responsive tourism areas. The methodology includes site analysis, field observation, climatological assessment, and a literature review related to tropical architecture and coastal tourism design. The collected data were used to determine building orientation, mass layout patterns, visitor capacity, materials, vegetation, and utility systems appropriate for humid tropical climates. The findings show that the site’s position between the sea and the mountains, combined with full-day sun exposure, requires design strategies that maximize cross-ventilation, utilize sloped roofs, provide natural shading, and apply local materials such as wood, bamboo, and red brick. The large spatial needs based on visitor capacity projections are accommodated through a flexible cluster layout that supports visual and functional connectivity between buildings while incorporating green open spaces to enhance microclimate comfort. The utility system is designed using sustainability principles through greywater–blackwater separation, infiltration wells, and recycling-based waste management. This study confirms that the application of tropical architecture in coastal tourism areas can improve thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. These findings guide developing tropical tourism area designs that are more adaptive to climate change and more responsive to visitor needs.

This study aims to analyze the differences in thermal conditions between coastal and riverside settlements, focusing on variations in temperature, humidity, and wind speed during day and night. The research sites include the coastal area of Dusun Karama Tengah (seaside) and Desa Salotengnga (riverside). Measurements indicate that the coastal area experiences more extreme daytime temperature fluctuations, reaching nearly 39 °C, with nighttime temperatures remaining warm and showing noticeable variation among points. In contrast, the riverside area displays more stable temperature patterns, with nighttime temperatures ranging between 28–30 °C. Relative humidity along the coast increases consistently at night, whereas in the riverside area it is heterogeneous, varying from saturated to very dry conditions. Wind speed serves as a key differentiating factor: the coastal area is still influenced by land–sea breezes, while the riverside environment tends to be stagnant with weak natural ventilation. These findings highlight distinct thermal comfort challenges in both settings—coastal areas are prone to daytime heat stress, whereas riverside areas face nighttime discomfort due to humidity and air stagnation. The results provide a foundation for adaptive architectural and spatial design strategies responsive to local microclimatic contexts.  

This study aimed to examine the ecological and socio-economic aspects of mangrove utilization in Nasem Village, Merauke Regency, Papua Selatan. The ecological assessment included mangrove species composition, regeneration potential, health status, and Importance Value Index (INP). Socio-economic data were collected through questionnaires and focus group discussions with 30 respondents. The results showed that  Avicennia marina  had good regeneration potential and dominated the community with the highest INP (1.13), while  Avicennia alba  was categorized as new regeneration with a low INP (0.31). The health status of both species was classified as rare/damaged according to national standards, indicating the need for restoration. From a socio-economic perspective, 90% of respondents utilized mangroves for firewood and fisheries, and 95% stated that mangroves significantly contributed to household income, although 83% earned less than IDR 1,000,000 per month. Most respondents (85%) recognized the ecological functions of mangroves, but anthropogenic pressures such as sand mining remained major threats. These findings highlight the urgent need for community-based mangrove management that integrates ecological restoration with sustainable economic development. The study provides scientific evidence to support policy recommendations for sustainable coastal zone management in Merauke.

The black sea cucumber (Holothuria atra) holds significant ecological and economic value in tropical marine ecosystems, including those of Maluku, Indonesia. This study aimed to estimate population density, spatial distribution patterns, and their relationship with environmental conditions along the Haenesai coast, Hulung Village, Taniwel District, West Seram Regency. Sampling was carried out using the belt transect method (50 m × 2 m) at three stations with three replications, while physicochemical parameters of seawater (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and transparency) were measured in situ. A total of 96 individuals of H. atra were recorded, with an average density of 10.6 ind/100 m². Station I exhibited the highest density (13 ind/100 m²), whereas Station II showed the lowest (9.3 ind/100 m²). Distribution patterns were generally uniform at Stations I and II, while Station III displayed a clustered pattern. These variations are likely influenced by differences in water transparency, dissolved oxygen, and substrate heterogeneity that affect food availability. Overall, environmental conditions remained suitable for H. atra, although evidence of exploitation pressure from local harvesting was observed. Ecologically, H. atra plays a critical role as a bioturbator, maintaining sediment quality and coastal ecosystem stability. This study highlights the need for regulated harvesting, habitat protection, and aquaculture development as strategic measures for the sustainable management of sea cucumber resources in Maluku.

This study aims to analyze the authority structure between the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and Regional Governments in managing coastal areas through marine spatial utilization following the enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation into Law. The main instrument studied is the Confirmation of Conformity of Marine Spatial Utilization Activities (KKPRL), which functions as a licensing instrument and a control mechanism to ensure that marine spatial utilization activities remain directed, integrated, and aligned with the principles of ecological, social, and economic sustainability. The research approach used is a juridical-empirical approach with a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Through this approach, the research not only examines legal norms but also captures the practice of implementing authority in the field. The results show that although the Job Creation Law is oriented towards simplifying business licensing, several problems remain that have implications for the effectiveness of coastal governance. These issues include disharmony between central and regional regulations, overlapping authority between the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKPRL) and regional governments, and weak synchronization between national policies and regional instruments such as the Coastal and Small Islands Zoning Plan (RZWP3K). In addition to regulatory constraints, this study also highlights institutional and technical aspects. Limited human resource capacity in the regions, a lack of understanding of KKPRL procedures, and minimal inter-agency coordination hamper the effectiveness of coastal management. These conditions result in slow investment realization, conflicts over spatial use, and potential coastal environmental degradation. Therefore, this study recommends a strategy for harmonizing authority through improving vertical-horizontal coordination, strengthening the institutional capacity of regional governments, and developing derivative regulations consistent with the principles of good governance.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the priority policy for the use of Village Fund in 2024 in Lanjut Village, Singkep Pesisir District, Lingga Regency. The main focus of this study is how the national policy on the priority use of Village Fund is practically implemented at the village level, including the supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document studies. The analytical model used refers to the implementation theory of Van Metter and Van Horn, which includes six main variables: policy objectives and size, resources, characteristics of the implementing agents, disposition of the implementers, communication, and social, economic, and political conditions. The results of the study show that the policy implementation was carried out participatively through village deliberation forums, involving the community in every stage of planning and decision-making. Several priority programs, such as Direct Cash Assistance (BLT), food security programs, and reducing stunting, were successfully realized, providing direct benefits to the village community. However, the implementation of this policy is not without challenges. Some identified obstacles include limited use of information technology to support transparency and efficiency, the readiness of human resources (HR) for implementation that still needs improvement, and the capacity of village institutions that has not yet reached its full potential. Despite these challenges, the overall implementation of the Village Fund policy in Lanjut Village can be considered relatively effective, given the successful realization of various priority programs that support participatory, transparent, and sustainable village governance. The conclusion of this study is that, although there are obstacles, the Village Fund policy in Lanjut Village has provided positive impacts on the community's welfare.

Population administration services at the village level often face various challenges, such as technological limitations, lack of outreach, and low digital literacy among the community.
