The research results show that the lack of buyers at the Tanah Abang wholesale market, Jakarta, is not caused by Tik Tok Shop alone. However, the high production costs of ready-made clothing produced by confectionery entrepreneurs in Bandung Regency have made it difficult to compete. The operational cost factor for the wholesale clothing sales business at Tanah Abang Market, Jakarta, also contributed to the loss.

Sustainable Tourism: A Challenge for Nature-based Tourism (NBT) Object

2024-02-29T01:26:48+07:00

The tourism sector contributes to gross domestic product (GDP) of 4.05% (2020) and 4.2% (2021). Likewise, the tourism sector's foreign exchange in 2020 was 3.2 billion US dollars. One of the potentials of the Indonesian tourism sector is Natural-based Tourism (NBT) tourist attractions such as national parks, geoparks, flora and fauna parks, conservation forests, rural tourism and the like. For example the Ir.H Djuanda Grand Forest Park (Tahura) conservation forest in Bandung City, and Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK) in Pandeglang Regency. However, many tourist destinations have not implemented the concept of sustainable tourism which consist of three main elements, namely social, economic and environmental. As a result, many tourist destinations have ignored environmental sustainability, created pollution, produced waste, and did not involve local communities. The research results show that several NBT managements face internal and external problems such as habitat destruction, land degradation, illegal logging and poaching. Therefore, the development of NBT needs to be redesigned in accordance with implementing the concept of sustainable tourism so that it is competitive and sustainable.

THE CONCEPT OF LECTURER LINEAR COMPETENCY AND THE INDEPENDENT CAMPUS LEARNING (MBKM) PROGRAM IN THE GLOBAL EDUCATION CONTEXT

2024-03-06T12:39:27+07:00

Globalization has created a new paradigm in almost all sectors including education. Education is the main medium for the transformation process towards a global society. Therefore, Globalization and education must be linked since education plays a significant role in forming a society and is greatly impacted by global activities. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are impacted by globalization in a variety of ways. The Indonesian government responded to globalization by implementing the Independent Campus Learning (MBKM) program, which is a policy to provide freedom to HEIs. MBKM offers a flexible and independent learning environment and encourages students to have many abilities, not just one.Indonesian higher education applies the concept of linearity, namely the suitability of the knowledge background that lecturers will obtain in Master's or Doctoral programs with the knowledge that will be taught to achieve competency or learning outcomes for graduates in the study program where the lecturer teaches. People need to be able to learn new skills that the knowledge society requires in order to integrate into the global economy. It is important to understand that higher education is now increasingly global and globalized. HEIs must be able to respond to the challenges of globalization with complex problems that require a multi-disciplinary or non-linear approach. Therefore, universities need to be aware of the trends, opportunities, and experiences associated with internationalization and globalization in order to better educate their students for future employment.

INFORMATION SYSTEM MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL CARRYING CAPABILITIES BASED ON INTERACTIVE GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE REALIZATION OF SUSTAINABLE CITY

2024-03-06T12:50:11+07:00

In the last ten years, the public has begun to pay attention to the application of digital technology in city planning management. One of them is that spatial prediction of environmental carrying capacity conditions is a complex technical process and requires the help of tools in the form of computer programs. A computer-based application, EnvicaSim, was developed in response to these planning needs. EnvicaSim is an application for analyzing the carrying capacity conditions of the living environment based on Geographic Information Systems. This research aims to create a model that simplifies calculating environmental carrying capacity. The result is that EnvicaSim is an application that has advantages compared to existing similar applications. EnvicaSim is a modeling tool with advantages for regional and city planning, whereas others focus on the field of Geography. The advantages of EnvicaSim include the basic algorithm scheme feature for multi-analysis using one model framework, outstanding simulation results, can set dynamic constraints (constraint growth), excellent target-based simulation planning, display/GUI (Graphic User Interface), there are output files for each iteration stage, as well as Multi-Tasking Simulation. In simple terms, the concept of the built model takes into account aspects of land capability and suitability and the concept of environmental carrying capacity. After carrying out the carrying capacity analysis process, the next step is to carry out a simulation of Regional Development, which will later considered in the Spatial Planning.

SUITABILITY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY TO SPATIAL POVERTY BASED ON THE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD APPROACH IN LABUAN BAJO, WEST MANGGARAI DISTRICT

2024-03-06T12:58:56+07:00

Inequality in the implementation of strategies and policies will impact many sectors. One of the factors affected is the spatial accessibility of essential community infrastructure. The fulfillment of basic community infrastructure affects the community's ability to create a decent life. The method used to achieve the objectives of this research uses deductive analysis using the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) and spatial data from GIS software. Through the SLA approach, this research aims to identify infrastructure development policies and see their relevance to poverty conditions in the West Manggarai Regency. SLA can be used to determine policies for handling poverty in the West Manggarai Regency. The result is that policies in infrastructure development do not have a significant impact on poverty conditions. Apart from that, the policies implemented in West Manggarai Regency have not met the SLA indicators. The spatial analysis results show that the distribution of infrastructure development does not look at the distribution of poverty and there is no integration between infrastructures.

“EXPLORING STUDENTS’ PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW”

2024-03-06T13:04:16+07:00

This systematic literature review explores problem-solving abilities in mathematics education and their impact on the learning process. The study analyzes 40 review articles from the ERIC and Scopus databases published between January 2020 and January 2024 to address three research questions. The results indicate that research on problem-solving is distributed across six continents: Europe, Oceania, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa. The United States has the highest number of publications, g-index, and h-index, making it the most productive country. The majority of research focuses on its relevance to teachers and prospective teachers, with 15 published articles. The remaining articles address mathematical problem-solving abilities related to students at different educational levels. There are 5 publications related to the elementary school level, 5 publications for the junior high school level (n = 5 articles), 5 publications for the senior high school level (n = 5 articles), and 9 publications for the higher education level. Additionally, the researcher identifies factors influencing students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. It is found that these abilities are influenced by factors originating from individuals (internal factors) and factors originating from outside individuals (external factors). This research is crucial for recommending effective learning methods to enhance students' mathematical problem-solving abilities by considering the influencing factors.
