    Volume 3, Issue 1 of this journal features eight scientific articles addressing strategic issues in spatial analysis, environmental management, and the application of geospatial technologies for sustainable development. The issue opens with a study on landslide vulnerability using the CMA method in Tana Toraja Regency, offering spatial insights for disaster risk reduction. Another article explores the spatial interaction between villages and urban areas in Medan City and Percut Sei Tuan District, highlighting patterns of urbanization and population mobility. A demographic study then examines population density distribution in North Sumatra Province using the 2020 census data to support regional planning. Environmental concerns are raised through two papers: one on land suitability analysis for final waste disposal (TPA) in South Manokwari Regency, and another on the groundwater quality around a landfill in Bekasi, revealing the impact of land use decisions on public health. Ecological research is represented by a study estimating carbon absorption in mangrove ecosystems on Tidung Kecil Island, emphasizing blue carbon conservation. The issue also includes an assessment of land carrying capacity for urban housing in Sentani and an evaluation of residential land suitability in Bandung Regency using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). All articles in this edition are contributed by Indonesian academics and researchers, showcasing a strong commitment to spatial data-based research. We extend our gratitude to the authors and the reviewers who ensured the scientific integrity of every article published.

    Volume 2, Issue 2 of the journal presents six scientific articles highlighting the role of geospatial technology in various strategic sectors in Indonesia. The opening study explores the potential for marine tourism development based on mangrove ecosystems in Pari Island, Thousand Islands, as a pathway to strengthen sustainable coastal economies. Critical environmental zones in Surabaya City are examined through NDVI and LST approaches to map degradation-prone areas. This is followed by a study of shoreline change in the coastal district of Banggae using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System, underlining the need for remote sensing-based environmental monitoring. Land use change is another major theme, explored through two separate studies. The first analyzes changes in Pekalongan City between 2013 and 2023 using Landsat 8 imagery, while the second uses the NDVI method to assess land cover dynamics in Sukoharjo Regency over the same period—offering insights for spatial planning policies. Lastly, the application of web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is highlighted through flood vulnerability mapping in Kelapa Gading Timur, North Jakarta. This research demonstrates the relevance of GIS in delivering spatial information for disaster preparedness in densely populated urban settings. This issue underscores the contribution of Indonesian scholars in producing spatial data with direct relevance to development policy and risk mitigation, especially in regions facing environmental change.

    Volume 2, Issue 1 of the journal features six scientific articles discussing various strategic issues in the context of geospatial technology utilization, environmental management, and innovation in disaster mitigation and infrastructure development. This issue opens with a study on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to determine costs and assess the integration between two main modes of transportation in Jakarta, namely KRL and Transjakarta. This research aims to support the improvement of the effectiveness of public transportation systems in metropolitan areas through a spatial approach.

    Next, there is a literature review discussing the phenomenon of mud volcanoes and the characteristics of mud that emerged in Bledug Kuwu, Central Java. This article reviews previous studies on geological processes, mud material content, and potential risks. From the marine and coastal environment sector, two articles focus on Pari Island, Thousand Islands. The first article assesses the health condition of coral reefs at a snorkeling tourist site using observation and spatial mapping methods, while the second article discusses changes in seawater quality and their impact on the sustainability of seaweed cultivation, which is a livelihood source for the local community.

    One article in this edition also highlights the application of weather modification technology, specifically the optimization of cloud seeding methods to increase rainfall. This study demonstrates the role of atmospheric intervention in mitigating the impacts of extreme droughts in various regions of Indonesia. The final article addresses the mapping of changes in building density in the city of Sukabumi between 2018 and 2023 using the Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI) approach, which shows the growth of built-up areas and its implications for urban planning.

    All articles in this edition are contributions from Indonesian academics and researchers, demonstrating a commitment to the development of research based on spatial and environmental data. We extend our gratitude to the authors for their contributions, as well as to the peer reviewers who ensured the scientific quality of each published article.

    Vol. 1 No. 2 (2023)

    The Journal of Geography Science Volume 1 Issue 2 contains nine scientific articles that examine various spatial issues using a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. The articles in this issue showcase diverse applications of GIS in the context of disaster risk mapping, land use change analysis, and the distribution of public facilities in urban and suburban areas. One article discusses landslide vulnerability mapping in Serang District, Banten, using scoring and overlay methods, aimed at identifying high-risk zones as an initial step in disaster mitigation.

    Land use change analysis is a key focus in this edition, including an analysis of land use changes affecting green open spaces in Srengseng Sawah Village, South Jakarta, and a temporal study of land changes in Gunungpati District, Semarang, for the years 2002, 2012, and 2022. In the context of educational facilities, two articles highlight the distribution patterns of public elementary schools in Johar Baru District and high schools in Koja District, North Jakarta. Both use the Nearest Neighbor Analysis (NNA) approach to evaluate the accessibility and spatial distribution of educational facilities.

    The issue of flood preparedness is also addressed in a study on elite residential areas in Mampang Prapatan District, South Jakarta, focusing on the relationship between flood-prone areas and community responses. Additionally, this edition features a spatial cluster analysis of the distribution of Integrated Child-Friendly Public Spaces (RPTRA) in Central Jakarta, as well as a study on the distribution of District General Hospitals (RSUD) in South Jakarta using the NNA method. The final article presents an analysis of the distribution of health facilities in Jakarta using the Geographically Weighted Regression approach, aiming to understand the spatial relationship between facility locations and socio-demographic variables.
