This first edition of Volume 1 of the Journal of Geography Science contains ten articles that explore the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in various spatial contexts across Indonesia. Some studies focus on urban areas in Jakarta, such as an analysis of the distribution of Mixue ice cream shops in East Jakarta using the buffering method, an estimation of land value in Koja District, and a study on the distribution patterns of gas stations in East Jakarta. Additionally, there are articles discussing fire risks in densely populated residential areas of Penjaringan District, as well as mapping the distribution patterns of malls and the distribution of firefighting facilities (DAMKAR) in Central Jakarta using various spatial approaches.

This edition also includes studies outside Jakarta, such as the identification of forest fire hazards in Riau Province and an analysis of land use changes in the core area of the National Capital Region (IKN) in Penajam Paser Utara District, East Kalimantan, between 2019 and 2023. The use of GIS in the context of sustainability is also evident in a study on the mapping of urban parks in South Jakarta. Finally, there is also an analysis of the distribution patterns and accessibility of health facilities to settlements in Pulo Gadung Subdistrict using buffering and nearest neighbor analysis approaches.

The authors in this edition are from Indonesia, with contributions reflecting diverse technical approaches and methodological innovations in spatial studies. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all authors and peer reviewers who have played a crucial role in the preparation of this edition.
