We are pleased to present the latest issue of Area Based Development Research Journal, continuing our commitment to advancing area-based collaborative research, sustainable development, and social engagement. This issue features diverse contributions that reflect the journal’s interdisciplinary approach and its role as a platform for international knowledge exchange.

To strengthen engagement with global scholars and communities, starting in 2025, all published articles will include an extended English abstract of approximately 800 words. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility and foster broader discussions on area-based development research. We look forward to continued collaboration and meaningful contributions from researchers worldwide.
