Sea and coastal areas are locations that have enormous potential that can contribute greatly to the national economic growth. The potential of marine and coastal areas includes the potential of fisheries. Fish life in shallow water or estuary is relevant to the existence of seagrass beds as their habitat. Seagrass in coastal waters is one of the attractions of fish for reproduction (spawning ground), fish growth place (nursery ground) and feeding ground. Good management requires a well-structured plan that takes into account geographical conditions and the sustainability of the plan in the future for the role of marine spatial planning. Marine spatial planning is a spatial guidance to manage well coastal and ocean areas with more integration and sustainability through identifying and mapping all marine issues. One method of mapping issues in marine spatial planning is open spatial data. The coherence and synergy of spatial planning can be achieved through dialogue between the elites and the public. A solution to bridge political communication between the elite and the public is open spatial data. In this context, the technicalities of open spatial data are important factors for achieving consensus. Relevant non-technical issues, such as data management, human resources and leadership factors are critical points for this potential open spatial data.

The impact of COVID-19 implied various restrictions on people’s mobility, especially for the higher education communities, by implementing the Learning from Home approach. This approach has altered the behavior of a human on a daily basis for a year long. Subsequently, the global vaccination program has been the advent of a “New Normal” approach as it reenables the direct human interactions by following health protocols to abide such as social distancing. This study investigated the pedestrian flow in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning (DURP) lecture building, Brawijaya University, and predicted the potential crowd spots using the Integrated Agent-Based Model (ABM), Computer Vision, and the Geographical Information System on an Indoor scale. Additionally, alternative designs of pedestrian flow were proposed to prevent crowds from occurring. The results showed the East and West entrance paths of the DURP building have high traffic, so the proper response is to organize the Southside door as an alternative entrance for pedestrian access. Moreover, the opening of the south gate could reduce the crowd spots on the 2nd Floor of the DURP lecture building.
