Authors:Hossein Mousazadeh Pages: 61 - 72 Abstract: The present study considers the measurement of quality of life as indicators of community well-being, which can be affected by the conditions of physical health, psychological, environment, and relationships of community residents. The purpose of this study was to test the perception of the residents of the community about the effect of the river and the satisfaction of the residents in different areas of life. This research was tested using a survey of 450 respondents from different communities in Europe. Participants completed measures of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire, Sense of place questionnaire, and author survey questionnaire about the type of Physical Activity. The results highlighted that all five domains of quality of life are strongly related to the length of time living by the river. Most of the participants stated that living by the river increases their self-confidence, security, and spirit of participation, which is directly related to enhancing the well-being and quality of life of citizens. According to the findings, the factor of security by the river is the most frequent. Participants who had lived near a river for more than 15 years were more likely to report greater physical activity, sense of place, and thus quality of life. In addition, several socio-demographic and basic factors related to the quality of life of the participants were also identified in this research.

Authors:Ulung Jantama Wisha, Ruzana Dhiauddin, Koko Ondara, Wisnu Arya Gemilang, Guntur Adhi Rahmawan Pages: 73 - 88 Abstract: The capital coastline city of Padang is intensively developed to enhance tourism attractions and protect the coastline from natural hazards and disasters. Massive urban developments applied in the coastal area have not gone well, and several regions have been eroded and unstable. This study aimed to determine the significant change in Padang city's coastline due to rapid urban development in the coastal area. Spatial analyses are employed to determine the coastline changes and coastal vulnerability, such as a DSAS (Digital Shoreline Analysis System) and Smartline-associated CVI (coastal vulnerability index) approach. A hydrodynamic and coastal model is also used to illustrate the transport mechanism and predict the level of abrasion. The result shows that substantial coastal changes and vulnerability have occurred. Of particular concern, 66 % of Padang's coastline is eroded with a rate of 0.21 - 49.4 m/year, 1% stable, and the rest, 34% experiencing accretion. More than 9% of coastal areas are categorized as highly vulnerable. The numerical model confirms the abrasion in several significant areas in Padang City, proven by the relatively high value of bed-level change (ranging from 0.39 up to -4 m) and considerable variability of seasonal sediment transport and suspended materials. The erratic hydrodynamics and ineffective coastal building are the primary factors triggering Padang City's coastal instability.

Authors:Nadiya Tri Utami, Bitta Pigawati Pages: 89 - 102 Abstract: Palembang city has experienced an increase in its population. Population growth results in an increase in activities which enlarge the built-up areas. The increase of built-up areas is one of the indicators of urban growth. The increase in built-up areas is inversely proportional to the vegetation area. Reduced vegetation area might cause an increase in land surface temperature. The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between urban growth and changes in land surface temperature in Palembang City using descriptive quantitative method and spatial analysis on the data obtained from remote sensing images. The result shows that in 1998-2018, Palembang City has developed to the north (Sukarami District) and to the west (Ilir Barat I District). There has been an increase in the temperature, documented as 2.12°C. There is a correlation between urban growth and changes in land surface temperature in Palembang City PubDate: 2022-12-08 DOI: 10.14710/geoplanning.9.2.89-102 Issue No:Vol. 9, No. 2 (2022)
Authors:Baskara Suprojo, Westi Utami, Luthfi Adela Saraswati, Diffa Alifia Nabila, M Nazir Salim Pages: 103 - 120 Abstract: The development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is able to create future value in various sectors and become a solution to the problem of limitations and disparity of electricity resources in Indonesia. This condition encourages GIS to be an analytical solution to the problem of electricity resources, which is by utilizing solar radiation as a source of renewable energy. This study aimed to optimize GIS in the use of solar radiation on the slope of building roofs which affects the estimated number and average electric power. This study used the mixed method. Research data includes aerial photos, which were analyzed digitally using the area of solar radiation and the slope angle of building roofs so as to produce a spatial analysis of the utilization of solar panels on Derawan Island. The data analysis showed that buildings in Derawan Island can produce 17,355.254 mWh per year with each building producing an average of 28,686 kWh annually. The result of the study is expected to encourage the realization of the use of renewable energy as part of the SDGs by utilizing solar panels as a source of electricity, replacing fossil-derived energy. This study is also expected to be applied in other small inhabited islands to support the sustainability of electricity use and increase the use of renewable energy.

Authors:Muhammad Rafi Andhika Pratama, Masita Dwi Mandini Manessa, Supriatna Supriatna, Farida Ayu, Muhammad Haidar Pages: 121 - 132 Abstract: A healthy coral reef ecosystem can be beneficial for the survival of fish habitats and aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the influence of human activities on the spatial distribution of coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo Island, Pangkajene Islands Regency, South Sulawesi in 2000, 2014, 2018, and 2021. The spatial distribution of coral reefs was obtained through a field survey using the underwater transect photo method. Then, satellite images were processed by using the Lyzenga algorithm for water column correction, and aquatic objects were classified by using unsupervised classification. Human activities that affect coral reef destruction were obtained through interviews and it was strengthened with related literature studies. The results showed that the coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo decreased from 2000-2021. In 2000, the live coral area was 13.53 ha, whereas in 2021 it was 8,031 ha. Destructive fishing activities such as using bombs and poison in catching fish are the main factors of coral reef destruction. In addition, destructive fishing activities commonly occur in the western and northern waters of Samatellu Lompo that causing the live coral into dead coral or rubble.
