This research was conducted in Manado with the aim of identifying factors that could potentially cause landslide susceptibility, mapping the distribution of potential landslides, and evaluating the distribution of landslide-based settlements. The materials used in this study are daily rainfall maps, slope maps, geological / rock maps, fault maps, soil solum depth maps, land use maps, infrastructure maps and population density maps on a scale of 1: 75 000. The map used as research material sourced from documentation studies and interpretation of maps of the earth and satellite imagery. Likewise, other data needed to support this research was obtained through documentation studies and field measurements. Each variable is used to determine landslide scaling and weighting vulnerability. The sum of the multiplication scores and weights of each variable is categorized into five classes of landslide susceptibility levels, which are very light, mild, moderate heavy and very heavy. Settlement distribution analysis is carried out by overlapping between landslide maps and settlement maps using geographic information system (GIS) technology with ArcView GIS 3.3 software. The results of the study indicated that there were three factors that triggered landslide susceptibility in Manado that had a significant effect, namely geological / rock constituent factors, fault factors, and depth of soil solum. Other factors both physical and management factors have a weak influence on landslides because they are on slopes <25%. Most (91.57%) of the study area had very low to low landslide susceptibility. Therefore, the distribution of settlements in the study area is generally in areas that are safe from landslides. Only about 46.12 ha or around 1.17% of settlements in Manado are located in high landslide susceptibility areas. Settlements located in areas with high landslide susceptibility are spread across seven sub-districts, which are located in Bunaken, Tuminting, Mapanget, Sinkil, Pal Dua, Wanea and Malalayang Districts.

The problem in this study is related to the number of developments, especially those aimed at their designation, which is not by the existing regional spatial plan. This is because many developments are located in disaster-prone areas, coastal border areas, and protected areas. This also triggers changes in land use that are quite large from time to time. This study aims to determine the use of utilization with a regional spatial plan. This study uses quantitative methods to determine developments based on data in the Sangihe Islands Regency, analyzing image data and knowing the level of suitability of land use with the RTRW. The method of analysis in this study uses a method of spatial analysis based on geographic information systems (GIS) using supervised classification, scoring, weighting, overlay. The variables in this study include land use, spatial planning, and adjustments. The results show that the land area in the Regional Spatial Plan is suitable for land use in particular for an area of ​​3,202.65 hectares and not suitable for an area of ​​17,946.03 hectares from the total area of ​​the existing land use.

The study describes the impact of sand mining on the environment in Ohoidertutu Village, West Kei Kecil District, Southeast Maluku Regency. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results that the realization of sand mining in Ohoidertutu Village affected people's lives and even caused environmental damage and pollution. The research results explain 1) ownership of mining land is not clear, 2) sand mining does not have a permit, 3) the amount of the market price of sand so that mining is carried out without considering the impact on people's lives and the environment, 4) the condition of the mining area is very apprehensive, 5) sand mining is disturbing the existence of the community, 6) the village government is part of the sand mining, 7) the socio-economic existence of the community is disturbed by the loss of land and agricultural products, 8) sand mining hurts a negative impact on environmental damage and even pollution, loss of forest ecosystems, land and agricultural products, flooding, landslides and even disease outbreaks, 9) handling is still in the planning stage by the village government, and 10) solutions to closing mining land, hoarding, planting trees, cooperating with both the private sector and local governments.

Letusan gunung api merupakan satu dari sekian banyak peristiwa alam yang dapat menyebabkan timbulnya bencana alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan jumlah bangunan, menghitung kerugian bangunan serta menghitung logistik yang dibutuhkan ketika terjadi bencana letusan gunung api Lokon. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis keruangan (spatial analysis) dalam Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG).  Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data sekunder. Teknik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis data bahaya (hazard) letusan gunung api Lokon, data bangunan OpenStreetMap, kerugian dan logistik. Analisis data diolah pada Sofware Quantum GIS dengan menggunakan plugin InaSAFE menghasilkan peta zonasi bahaya letusan gunungapi, bangunan terdampak, kerugian per bangunan serta estimasi logistik. Hasil penelitian adalah pengklasifikasian zonasi letusan gunung api Lokon menjadi 2 zona yaitu zona rendah dan tinggi. Hasil penghitungan Keterpaparan letusan gunung api yang diolah dengan plugin InaSAFE berdasarkan zonasi bahaya (hazard) menghasilkan jumlah total bangunan terdampak yaitu pada kawasan rawan bencana radius 3,5 KM berjumlah 202 bangunan untuk area ancaman tinggi dan 555 bangunan untuk area ancaman rendah dan untuk kawasan rawan bencana radius 5 KM berjumlah 55 bangunan untuk area ancaman tinggi dan 7.300 bangunan untuk area ancaman rendah. Hasil analisis jumlah kerugian pada kawasan rawan bencana radius 3,5 KM yaitu 757 bangunan Rp. 36.636.840.000 dan untuk kawasan rawan bencana radius 5 KM yaitu 7.355 bangunan Rp. 158.730.660.000. Hasil analisis logistik didasarkan pada estimasi keterpaparan terhadap penduduk yang memerlukan evakuasi dimana terdapat 36.300 jiwa penduduk yang berada pada kawasan rawan bencana rendah hingga tinggi. Dari jumlah penduduk yang terdampak maka didapat estimasi kebutuhan dasar minimum beras sebanyak 98.010 liter, air minum sebanyak 629.805 liter, air bersih sebanyak 2.413.224 liter dan toilet sebanyak 1.815 unit.

Permasalahn yang ditemukan sehingga dilaksanakan pengabdian ini adalah rendahnya pemahaman Mahasiswa Pendidikan Geografi yang telah mengikuti Mata Kuliah Evaluasi Pengajaran Geografi, khususnya dalam topik bahasan yang berkaitan dengan statistik, dan dalam hal ini khusus pendekatan Penilaian baik yang menyangkut penilaian Acuan Norma (PAN ) manupun Penilaian Acuan Patokan (PAP) serta latar belakang Pendidikan Mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Geografi sewaktu di SMA umumnya berasal dari Jurusan IPS dan juga SMK. Tujuan dilaksanakannya kegiatan Pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kompetensi Mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Geografi dalam hal penerapan pendekatan penilaian dalam pembelajaran Geografi disaat melaksanakan kegiatan PPL 2 maupun setelah nanti berprofesi sebagai Guru Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah, tanya jawab, pemberian tugas/soal Latihan tentang penerapan pendekatan penilaian. Hasil kegiatan berwujud produk materi pelatihan tentang penekatan penilaian dan hasil penyelesaian tugas soal Latihan penerapan pendekatan penilaian dalam pembelajaran
