2025-01-16T13:13:52-08:00

Spatial thinking ability in the 21st century is crucial for students to respond to challenges and global competition. While each student possesses different spatial thinking abilities, these abilities are also vulnerable to decline due to the uncertain global conditions. This study aims to analyze spatial thinking abilities based on students' gender through the Spatial Thinking Ability Test (STAT). The research employs a comparative method with quantitative data analysis using a two-sample t-test. The subjects of this study were male and female students at Muhammadiyah Senior High School 1 Karanganyar. Data collection was carried out using a test. The results showed that the average spatial thinking ability score for male students was 181.45, while female students scored 139.10. The Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, with a significance value (sig.) < 0.05, indicates that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, while the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. In conclusion, there is a significant difference in spatial thinking abilities, suggesting that male students at Muhammadiyah Senior High School 1 Karanganyar tend to have higher spatial thinking abilities than female students.

Edelweis (Anaphalis longifolia) is one of Indonesia's mountain vegetation that grows at an altitude of 1,000–2,000 meters above sea level and plays a role as a pioneer plant in volcanic soils. Anaphalis longifolia is one of the places in Kelimutu National Park, which spans altitudes of 1,000–1,731 meters above sea level. Using Landsat satellite imagery, the research aims to identify environmental factors influencing edelweis distribution. Data collection was conducted across six tracking routes: Moni, Wologai-Protelindo, Dedumudi, Niowula, Ratebeke, and Saga-Bukit Sokoria, combining field observations with the analysis of Landsat 8 imagery, elevation SHP, rock type SHP, and NDVI values. The results of the study show that the distribution of edelweis is most commonly found at an altitude of 1471-1599 meters above sea level. Meanwhile, the distribution of edelweis is at least at an altitude of 1114-1200 meters above sea level. The types of rocks in the Kelimutu National Park area are young volcanic rocks and the distribution of edelweis tends to be more abundant in areas with moderate NDVI values (0.25-0.35). Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity, soil pH, and wind speed play a role in the spread of Edelweis in Kelimutu National Park.

Resources have a crucial role in maintaining the sustainability of human life and the surrounding ecosystem. Malang Regency, one of the regions with the largest number of beef cattle in Indonesia, has great potential to support the growth of the livestock sector with 234,481 beef cattle and is ranked fifth nationally. Optimal support, especially land carrying capacity, is the key to maximizing the potential of the livestock sector. The establishment of a livestock area in Tumpang District is a strategic step to increase production capacity and availability of animal feed. This research uses a Mixed Methods method with a spatial approach, involving data analysis such as unsupervised classification, evaluation of natural forage potential, and calculation of the Forage Carrying Capacity Index (IDD). The findings show that all villages in Tumpang District have an IDD above 2 so they are categorized as safe. With several potential villages such as Pulungdowo, Duwet Krajan, and Bejor. With these findings, strategic steps can be taken to utilize this potential sustainably to increase the contribution of the livestock sector in Malang Regency.
