tive method to explore the implementation of ecotourism and religious tourism concepts in the Turgo-Merapi Tourism Village area. The data collected are primary and secondary. Primary data were collected through observation and interviews, secondary data were collected through document studies. The results of the study indicate that eco-religious tourism based on saujana is a model that is considered to be able to link tourism developments planned in local government policy (ecotourism) and developments occurring in the field (religious tourism) as well as accommodating the economic and conservation interests. Eco-religious tourism based on saujana model provides a broad idea that not only has a positive impact on environmental conservation, but also strengthens the social, cultural, and spiritual aspects of communities in areas that still practice religious values. This research is still limited to the southern side of GMNP which is located in Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Further research is needed with the same theme in Magelang Regency, Boyolali Regency, and Klaten Regency so that it can complete the results of this study.

, mostly females between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, was chosen for this current activity. This was carried out in one of orphanages in Palembang, South Sumatera. To monitor and evaluate the degree of vocabulary achievement of the EFL learners, a vocabulary test was administered both before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the t obtained was much higher than the set t table and p value earned was much lower than .05. Therefore, it could be concluded that using flashcards significantly accelerated the acquisition of English vocabulary by young learners. Lastly, some fruitful implication were directed to future facilitators, researchers, and young learners, as participants.

n of several areas and submerging hundreds of residents' houses in 22 villages or sub-districts and 7 sub-districts in Manado. In studying this event, this research investigates the factors that influence extreme weather in Manado, observing sea surface temperature data, streamlines, air observations, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The analysis shows that the positive SOI and negative IOD phenomena significantly impact extreme weather in the region. Cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds drove the atmospheric conditions formed on January 27 and 28 2023 and air flows from the Indian Ocean which brought wet air masses into Indonesian territory. High sea surface temperatures, reaching 28-29°C, also play a role in the intensive growth of rain clouds. Based on atmospheric conditions seen from radiosonde observation data, the stability index value shows that unstable conditions trigger heavy rain which causes flooding

Dalam mengkaji peristiwa ini, penelitian ini akan memahami faktor penyebab kejadian dengan mengamati data suhu permukaan laut, streamline, Southern Oscillation Index(SOI), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), dan data observasi permukaan diperlukan untuk mengetahui faktor lokal dan global yang mempengaruhi kejadian tersebut. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa fenomena SOI yang bernilai negatif dan IOD yang bernilai positif memiliki dampak yang cukup signifikan terhadap hujan lebat di wilayah tersebut. Madden Julian Oscilation yang berada di Samudera Hindia bagian Timur juga berpotensi meningkatkan pembentukan awan konvektif yang berdampak pada peningkatan curah hujan di wilayah Indonesia bagian Barat hingga dapat menyebabkan banjir di wilayah Batam.
