Tourist Safety Behavior at the Oya River: An Antecedent–Behavior–Consequence Analysis

2026-01-28T09:25:44+00:00

Background: The Oya River is a nature-based tourism destination in Imogiri, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Visitors can take part in activities such as swimming, canoeing, and camping, all of which carry a high potential risk. Unsafe actions are still frequently observed, including swimming without a life jacket, jumping from cliffs, canoeing without a life jacket, and disregarding the rules set by the management. Tourist safety behavior therefore needs to be improved, in part by strengthening the factors that drive its formation. This study aimed to analyze tourist safety behavior based on the antecedent–behavior–consequence (ABC) theory at the Oya River tourism destination. Method: A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was used. Data were collected through interviews and observation, with the researcher acting as the main instrument. Informants were selected purposively and comprised tourists and officers at the Oya River tourism destination. Observation was carried out using a checklist based on the ABC theory. Results: Most tourists at the Oya River tourism destination already displayed safe actions. This was supported by the efforts of the tourism officers, which satisfied the antecedent, behavior, and consequence factors that reinforce safe behavior among tourists. The remaining shortcoming is the absence of clear consequences from the destination management. Conclusion: Tourist safety behavior is influenced by the main components of the ABC theory. All three components need strengthening, particularly the consequence component, through the consistent enforcement of sanctions and the provision of rewards

Determinants of Work Fatigue: The Role of Workload and Noise Among Convection Tailors

2026-02-07T05:08:59+00:00

Background: Occupational fatigue is a variety of conditions accompanied by a decrease in efficiency and endurance at work. Work fatigue is a critical problem that needs to be adequately addressed, as it has adverse effects, including loss of efficiency at work, decreased productivity, and reduced work capacity. Work fatigue can be caused by environmental factors such as noise and lighting. Individual factors, such as nutritional status, lifestyle, and health, as well as work factors like workload, work duration, and monotonous work. Methods: This study employs a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional research design, with Chi-Square Analysis and Fisher's Exact Test as the primary statistical tests. The sample of this study consisted of 32 tailors at Wijaya Convection, selected using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires and observation sheets. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between workload (p-value 0.024) and fatigue in tailors in Kauman, Yogyakarta. In contrast, there was no significant relationship between noise (p-value 1.000) and fatigue in tailors in Kauman, Yogyakarta. Conclusion: There is a relationship between workload and occupational fatigue among tailors in Kauman, Yogyakarta.

Evaluation of Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability in Baturraden

2026-08-11T04:17:54+00:00

Background: Effective implementation of cleanliness, health, safety, and environmental sustainability is essential at tourism destinations, yet certification does not necessarily ensure consistent day-to-day practice. This study evaluated implementation at Lokawisata Baturraden against SNI 9042:2021. Method: A qualitative descriptive evaluation was conducted from January to April 2026. Six purposively selected informants represented destination coordination, cleanliness, health, safety, environmental management, and visitors. Data from semi-structured interviews, structured observation, and documentation were coded against standard indicators and triangulated across sources and methods. Results: Routine cleaning, covered bins, a health post, emergency procedures, evacuation information, hazard-warning signs, and periodic waste collection were in place. However, monitoring logs were not standardized; cleanliness and health-promotion media were sparse; handwashing and sex-separated toilet provision was limited; first-aid resources were concentrated in one location; fire-protection equipment and emergency training were incomplete; and waste bins did not support source segregation. Implementation was therefore only partially aligned with the standard, with recurrent gaps in monitoring, resource distribution, staff competency, and visitor communication. Conclusion: Certification should be followed by risk-based facility placement, documented inspection and corrective-action cycles, recurrent emergency training, source-separated waste systems, and behaviorally designed visitor messages.

Promotive and Preventive Occupational Health Efforts for Farmers in Wonogiri

2026-08-11T04:19:58+00:00

Background: Farmers are informal-sector workers at high risk of health disorders and occupational accidents arising from physical, chemical, ergonomic, and environmental hazards. Promotive and preventive occupational health efforts are therefore needed to improve their health status. Community health centers, as primary healthcare facilities, play an important role in delivering occupational health services to working communities, including farmers. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach was used. Informants were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and their validity was tested using source and method triangulation. Analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: Promotive efforts at the Eromoko 2 Community Health Center were delivered through health counseling, education on personal protective equipment (PPE), promotion of clean and healthy living behavior, and health guidance during Posbindu activities in each village. Preventive efforts comprised periodic health examinations, early detection of work-related disease, monitoring of farmers' health, and referral for those requiring further treatment. Health personnel understood occupational health services, but staff numbers were limited. No dedicated occupational health program for farmers was available, and farmers' awareness of PPE use remained low. Conclusion: Promotive and preventive occupational health efforts for farmers in the Eromoko 2 Community Health Center working area have been implemented, but not yet optimally. Program development and greater farmer awareness of occupational health are required.

The Relationship Between Knowledge and Attitude with Volcano Merapi Eruption Disaster Preparedness Among Household Heads in Turgo Hamlet, Purwobinangun

2026-08-19T05:26:49+00:00

Background: Indonesia is located at the convergence of the Eurasian, Pacific, and Indo-Australian tectonic plates, making it highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Turgo Hamlet, Purwobinangun Village, is one of the areas at high risk of the potential eruption of Mount Merapi. Disaster preparedness among heads of households plays a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of disasters. Preparedness is influenced by several factors, including knowledge and attitudes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes and the level of disaster preparedness among heads of households in facing the potential eruption of Mount Merapi in Turgo Hamlet, Purwobinangun Village. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 311 heads of households in Turgo Hamlet, Purwobinangun Village. A total of 93 respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. Results: The findings showed that knowledge was positively and significantly associated with disaster preparedness, as indicated by a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.622 and a p-value of < 0.001. Attitudes were also positively and significantly associated with disaster preparedness, as indicated by a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.760 and a p-value of < 0.001. Conclusion: This study indicates a significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and disaster preparedness among heads of households in Turgo Hamlet, Purwobinangun Village. Higher levels of knowledge and more positive attitudes were associated with better preparedness for the potential eruption of Mount Merapi.

Instagram Contents of Occupational Health and Safety Education in Indonesia on 2023–2024

2026-08-23T04:34:04+00:00

Background: Occupational accidents in Indonesia remain high, and limited occupational safety and health (OSH) knowledge among workers is one of their basic causes. Instagram, the most widely used social media platform in Indonesia, has become an alternative channel for OSH education, yet little is known about what such education actually looks like on the platform. This study analyzed OSH educational content published on Instagram between June 2023 and June 2024 in terms of topic, creator, upload timing, and delivery method. Method: A descriptive quantitative study with an observational approach was conducted. Thirty educational posts from eighteen accounts were selected purposively through the hashtag #keselamatandankesehatankerja using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were recorded on an observation sheet, examined with the 5W+1H approach, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with method triangulation applied to the findings. Results: Occupational safety topics accounted for 53.3% and occupational health topics for 46.7%. Company accounts made up most of the creators (55.6%) and produced 70.0% of the posts, followed by personal (27.8%) and government accounts (16.7%). Uploads peaked in September 2023 (20.0%) and were lowest in December 2023 and June 2024 (3.3% each). The carousel was the dominant delivery method (76.7%), followed by video (13.3%) and single photo (10.0%). Conclusion: OSH education on Instagram is driven mainly by companies, emphasizes safety over health, and relies heavily on carousels, indicating that structured visual formats are preferred while government participation and video-based education remain limited.
