Abstrak
Environmentally based tourist attractions hold substantial potential as geography learning resources because they provide direct exposure to both physical and social phenomena. However, the waterfront city area in Pontianak has not been optimally utilized by teachers as a learning resource, despite its strong relevance to high school geography content. This study aims to identify the potential of the waterfront city tourist attraction and examine the suitability of geography teaching materials that can be developed from this site as a learning resource for senior high school students. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with six respondents representing six districts in Pontianak City, selected through cluster sampling. The results indicate that the potential for tourist attraction, based on the 3A indicators, falls into the very good category with a percentage of 85.50%. Likewise, the suitability of geography teaching materials is categorized as very appropriate, with a percentage of 85.50%. For Phase E, suitable materials include an introduction to geography, maps, remote sensing & GIS, geographic research, and the dynamics of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. For Phase F, the suitability includes strategic potential, natural resources, biodiversity, disaster mitigation and adaptation, regional development, and spatial planning. Overall, the findings show that the waterfront city tourist attraction has a very high level of suitability as a learning resource for geography education at the senior high school level.
