INTERNATIONAL AID AND LOCAL TRANSFORMATION: EXAMINING SOCIAL CHANGE IN POST-EARTHQUAKE TRIENGGADENG-INDONESIA
Indonesia, situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is highly vulnerable to various natural disasters, including floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis. While the Indonesian government—through BASARNAS—plays a central role in emergency response, international assistance often becomes crucial during post-disaster recovery. This qualitative study, based on interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations conducted across five villages in the Trienggadeng sub-district, Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh, investigates the social transformations following the 2016 earthquake and the involvement of international aid organizations. The findings reveal a dual impact of aid: it accelerated economic recovery, enhanced infrastructure, and introduced new work ethics and intercultural perspectives. Conversely, it also disrupted traditional communal values, triggered social tensions, fostered dependency, and eroded trust in local governance due to perceptions of favoritism and nepotism. Additionally, while some community members experienced a religious revival, others became more materialistic. This study highlights the complexity of aid-driven recovery and emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive and participatory approaches to ensure that international assistance supports both physical reconstruction and the preservation of social cohesion

Physico-Chemical and Magnetic Characterization of Topsoil Influenced by Vehicular Emissions at Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor
This study investigates the impact of vehicular emissions on the physico-chemical properties of topsoil at Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor. Soil samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), magnetic susceptibility ()LFll, magnetic domain properties (), and heavy metal concentrations using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results showed that while pH values remained within the neutral range (6.03–7.40), elevated EC and TDS values were observed at locations with high traffic density, indicating increased ionic content from anthropogenic sources. Magnetic susceptibility values ranged from 506.7 to 1148.7 × 10⁻⁸ m³kg⁻¹, with all sites exceeding 10 × 10⁻⁸ m³kg⁻¹, confirming the presence of ferrimagnetic minerals, and higher values were found near areas with heavy vehicle activity. The ) values, mostly below 4%, suggest a significant contribution from anthropogenic magnetic particles, dominated by stable single domain (SSD) and multi domain (MD) grains. Heavy metal analysis revealed that most elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al, As, Mg, Ca, K, Ni and Cr) were within permissible limits, except cadmium (Cd), which exceeded background crustal levels, suggesting contamination from anthropogenic sources, including vehicle emissions
