The development of innovative information technologies has improved the geological mapping process through the use of smart and portable equipment to collect field data, build a geological database and produce geological maps. This revolution has also brought great influence and challenges to practical training in field geology. In this paper, we present our workflow and application of the Digital Geological Survey System (DGSS) during field geology training for undergraduates in Zhoukoudian. The DGSS employs a Point-Routing-Boundary (PRB) model to reform the methods of geological section survey and geological mapping in terms of data collection and map-making and provides a pipelined solution from field data collection to map-making. The experiences of data collection, geological mapping, cross-section survey, and production of stratigraphic histograms and cross-section maps prove that DGSS can save time and reduce labor intensity for undergraduates during learning field geology. Based on the field practice of undergraduates in Zhoukoudian, the influence of the DGSS in promoting field geological teaching and the students’ feedbacks to DGSS are discussed. Overall, the DGM system is more popular than the conventional notebook and toolbox. The experience in Zhoukoudian proves that digital devices are efficient and useful for geological practical training of field geology for undergraduates.

Ngempon Temple is one of the historical sites around the Mount Ungaran area. Ngempon Temple is the result of Hindu civilization in Indonesia which was built in the VIII-IX century. This research was conducted in the Ngempon area because it is necessary to conserve historical sites associated with geological sites in the study area. This study aims to determine the geological aspects that have the potential to become geotourism sites in the research area. The methods used are geological mapping for field data collection and petrographic analysis to determine rock characteristics. There are several sites including historical sites and geological sites in the vicinity of Ngempon Temple, namely Ngempon Temple, Diwak Waterfall, and Derekan Hot Springs. The lithologies found in the research area are claystone, tuff sandstone, basaltic andesite breccia, and andesite breccia. The volcanic rock in the research area is formed by Mount Ungaran activity during Lower Pleistocene until Holocene.

The development of early childhood physical health largely determined by levels of phosphorus contained in the body, due to be the second largest item after the calcium in the human body,  problems become obstacles in developing family knowledge about the importance of the content of phosphorus in the development of early childhood body i.e. environmental conditions is lacking support and there is no massive support from the Ministry of Health important about phosphorus for the growth of early childhood. This research uses descriptive method which aims to describe, illustrate and analyze events in field data collection techniques, using interviews, observation and documentation, as well as using the techniques of data analysis the presentation of data, data reduction and withdrawal of the conclusion. The results obtained show that the society have less knowledge about the importance of phosphorus for early childhood growth, hence the need for the development of the knowledge society on the importance of phosphorous for growth in early childhood, it due to the excess or deficiency of phosphorus will not impact the tub for the body.
