Rapid urban development in Southeast Asia is often the main cause of urban kampung formation, a cluster of sporadic and informal settlements. Kampungs possess the capacity to serve to build the local economy and provide culture conservation through heritage tourism. To promote sustainable development in heritage kampung tourism, it is imperative to propose directives that optimize its heritage qualities without compromising both the economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. This study aims to develop a comprehensive sustainable development framework on a local scale by implementing a novel prioritization approach. Descriptive statistical analysis, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP (FAHP) provide the researchers with a holistic understanding regarding heritage tourism sustainability by considering various stakeholders’ perspectives. Novel prioritization is presented using radar diagrams to understand how each variable, representing environmental, social, and economic criteria, has perceived importance according to experts and tourists. The analysis highlights the kampung Kayutangan’s sustainability while acknowledging variations in element importance, necessitating the alignment of development directives.

The 2018 Lombok (Indonesia) earthquake caused widespread destruction, significantly affecting both infrastructure and the socio-cultural fabric of local communities. While rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts primarily focus on restoring physical assets, the social and cultural dimensions critical to fostering community resilience are often overlooked. This research explores the concept of Cultural Resilience in promoting post-disaster recovery, with a particular focus on the Sasak Tribe in Lombok. By examining how cultural values, practices, and social networks contribute to adaptive capacity, the study seeks to integrate cultural resilience into disaster recovery strategies. The research employs a mixed-method approach, involving the identification of key characteristics of cultural resilience, mapping the levels of resilience within the community, and analyzing the social networks of cultural actors involved in post-disaster recovery. Through this, a “Build-Back Better” scenario is developed, which aligns rehabilitation plans with local cultural values. The findings are expected to enhance culture-based resilience and offer policy implications for more holistic disaster recovery interventions that strengthen both physical and cultural aspects of community resilience.)

The emergence of a peri-urban area is driven by a high degree of accessibility in the suburbs due to the development of housing and urban facilities. Such a phenomenon requires specialized planning approaches in accordance with the peri-urban dynamics, where there is no clear distinction between a wholly urban and a wholly rural area. The objectives of this research are to (1) identify land-use change of the peri-urban area; (2) analyze the zoning typology of peri-urban area span across 20 years; and (3) identify the settlement pattern and community perception of the peri-urban area. This research observes land-use change in an Indonesian peri-urban area using geographic information system (GIS) analysis in the urban frame zone, urban–rural frame zone, rural–urban frame zone, and rural frame zone during 2012–2022 and land-use change prediction for 2022–2032. Consequent community perception analysis was conducted to comprehend complex interactions in the urban–rural continuum. Results indicate that by 2032, urban characteristics shall become significantly more prominent in 50% of the peri-urban area compared to 2012, due to better accessibility and the presence of nationwide migrant attractors, such as universities. Spatial planning must address these varying dynamics to effectively manage the development of urban, peri-urban, and rural areas.

Sanitasi merupakan salah satu kriteria permasalahan permukiman kumuh di Kota Malang yang meliputi masalah persampahan, air limbah, dan drainase. Masalah tersebut tersebar di 5 Kecamatan di Kota Malang salah satunya adalah Kecamatan Lowokwaru. Berbagai penanganan telah dilakukan baik dari pemerintah maupun masyarakat untuk mengatasi masalah sanitasi di Kecamatan Lowokwaru diantaranya adalah penanganan sanitasi di RW 3 & RW 6 Kelurahan Dinoyo, RW 5 dan RW 7 Kelurahan Tlogomas, dan RW 9 Kelurahan Jatimulyo. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsep penanganan sanitasi di lokasi tersebut. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, wawancara, dan kuesioner. Metode analisa data yang digunakan adalah metode statistik deskriptif, metode skoring, dan metode klaster. Berdasarkan hasil analisa, ketersediaan prasarana sanitasi di lokasi penelitian masih kurang untuk prasarana persampahan yakni tempat sampah, sedangkan untuk prasarana limbah dan drainase sudah mencukupi. Untuk tingkat permasalahan, hanya RW 3 Kelurahan Dinoyo dan RW 7 Kelurahan Tlogomas yang berada pada level tinggi (baik), sedangkan RW 5 Kelurahan Tlogomas dan RW 9 Kelurahan Jatimulyo berada pada level rendah (buruk). Untuk konsep penanganan, terdapat 3 macam konsep yang diterapkan di lokasi penelitian yaitu percontohan, partisipatori, dan bantuan. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah ketersediaan prasarana persampahan di lokasi penelitian masih kurang dan tidak adanya hubungan antara konsep penanganan sanitasi yang telah diterapkan dengan tingkat permasalahan sanitasi. Sanitation is one of the criteria of slum settlement problems in Malang City, covering the problem of solid waste, waste water, and drainage. The problem is spread in 5 sub-districts in Malang City, one of which is Lowokwaru Sub-district. Various handling has been done both from the government and society to solve sanitation problems in Lowokwaru Sub-district, including sanitation handling in RW 3 & RW 6 Dinoyo, RW 5 and RW 7 Tlogomas, and RW 9 Jatimulyo. Therefore, this study aims to find out the concept of sanitation handling in these locations. Data collection methods used in this study are observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis methods used are descriptive statistical methods, scoring methods, and cluster methods. Based on the results of the analysis, the availability of sanitation infrastructure at the research site is still lacking for solid waste infrastructure, namely the trash, while for waste and drainage infrastructure is sufficient. For the level of problem, only RW 3 Dinoyo and RW 7 Tlogomas are at a high level (good), while RW 5 Tlogomas and RW 9 Jatimulyo are at a low level. For the concept of handling, there are 3 types of concepts that are applied in the research location are pilot, participatory, and assistance. The conclusion in this study is the availability of solid waste infrastructure in the research location is still lacking and there is no relationship between the concept of sanitation handling that has been applied to the level of sanitation problems.  Keywords : availability, consept of handling, level of problem, sanitation

Recently, efforts to promote equity development and reduce the rural-urban gap have been made, such as the development of optimizing rural tourism to increase job opportunities, therefore improving overall rural economic conditions. Agritourism presents the best chance for rural areas to sustainably develop as it would fulfill environmental, economic, and social wellbeing when properly implemented. This research aimed to develop rural tourism that utilizes local culture and resources while prioritizing sustainable development in Pujon Kidul, Malang Regency, Indonesia. Qualitative descriptive methods were adopted for this study and included land suitability analysis with Visual Absorption Capability (VAC), community attitude analysis with Irridex, linkage system and integrated system. Proper rural tourism management that considers environmental, social, and economic aspects may prevent the exploitation of available resources and thus promote sustainable development in a rural context.
