Penghayat is often marginalized with heretical and syncretic stigma. However, the negative stigma is not true for them. They believe their “religion” is pure and not a splinter from any religion. It represented by their Kebaya. The existing literature or previous studies on the Kebaya of Penghayat is limited. Therefore, this study specifically aimed to discuss their Kebaya, with case the Sapta Darma community in Jakarta. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach, through an interview, observation, and literature study techniques. Then in data analysis tend to use interpretive symbolic and discourse analysis of material. This study found that the material (Kebaya) is an important part in disclosing identity to "religion".  The white Kebaya symbols as a narrative to represent positive connotations, then share with others to build strong image in their problems of negative stigma. By taking narratives of activist and dynamic in landscape, geography, history and mobility, this paper shows the significance of using of the material, the meanings and the discourse in social interaction of religious group in survive their ritual practice.

The present work presents an integrated view of landscape analysis through the construction of a signature system for the analysis of landscape types. These signatures were based on metrics that informed different patterns for each landscape type, which allowed the behavior of the landscape to be visually analyzed. The signature system was applied through a landscape classification developed through fieldwork to gather data on socioenvironmental categories combined with remote sensing data. The study site was the border region between Brazil and French Guiana. The results of this work showed that in situ landscape classification techniques can be supported by the analysis of quantitative metrics of landscape analysis, reinforcing the need for integrative and systemic studies in landscape geography.

Eutrophication is an overall contamination issue, when the directresource contamination is proficiently unnatural; contamination load from non-point foundation has the expanding extent in the complete burden. The investigation on non-point foundation contamination is a significant perspective in the exploration on water condition contamination. The nonpoint source contamination, highlighted by broad inclusion, dynamic intricacy and troublesome evaluation of precise spatial area and release degree, is a solution and troublesome concern for the investigation of water condition contamination. In this magazine, an improved fare co-efficient strategy is projected to gauge non-point foundation contamination load in watersheds, same thinking about the impacts of precipitation and the decrease of toxin during the time spent vehicle. The measures of downpour and overflow are enormous in soaked years, so the non-point foundation contamination heaps created are huge too in different years, the non-point foundation contamination loads are fewer a direct result of less precipitation in typical water years. Non-point resource contamination factors are investigated, for example, precipitation, land use, landscape, geography and soil P speciation in farmland soil tests in forest soil tests, and in orchardland soil tests.

The article deals with Lithuanian efforts in the field of protected areas landscape cognition and contributing to the planning system optimization. The summarizing of the state of the problem is presented with special accent to the experience the Estonia, Slovenia and Catalonia as potentially most similar and perspective for Lithuania. The methodology and the algorithm of the morphological study of landscape structure morphological research of Lithuanian National and Regional Parks in 2018-2019 are presented. Distinct landscape units have been designated as landscape environs and landscape sites and have been designated the highest local levels of its cognition. Special attention is paid for territorial differentiation of the landscape morphological structure, main visual aspects of landscape perception, enhancing the awareness of national and regional parks landscape and contributing to the optimization of spatial planning processes.

Sara Taylor’s The Shore is ex-centric in many ways. As for the setting, it geographically and socially depicts a fringe of the already-peripheral Appalachian culture, shedding a new and interesting light on the Southern “sense of place” through the use of magical-realistic elements that actually connect characters and landscape. Geography, though, is but the palimpsest. The book’s liminality is further reinforced by the fact that The Shore’s long and violent familiar history is chiefly narrated through the voices of six generations of women struggling not to be silenced by the all-embracing southern patriarchy. Considering both the psycho-geographical and socio-historical dimensions described by Taylor, this essay will show how The Shore stands as a counter-dynastic novel giving a voice to those who were excluded from the South’s self-projected image-in-place. Also, through its comprehensive outlook on southern history, the novel chronicles the (frustrated) effort to overcome postmodern placelessness via an-other way of constructing southern identity.
