Abstract

Transportation plays a crucial role in global development, and as transportation systems improve, so do development activities and the economy. However, with the growth of transportation and the number of vehicles on the road, the risk of accidents also increases. Governments are constructing pedestrian facilities to reduce the likelihood of pedestrian accidents. Pedestrian bridges are designed to improve pedestrian safety and convenience. Nevertheless, some pedestrian bridges built by the government, like the one located at Simpang Kuda, Sei Panas, experience low utilization due to various factors. These factors include inadequate placement, inconvenient staircases that result in longer journeys, and unsafe bridge conditions. Consequently, pedestrians often cross the road directly rather than using the pedestrian bridge. This study focuses on evaluating the condition of the pedestrian bridge at Simpang Kuda, Sei Panas, and identifying necessary measures for rehabilitation and maintenance. The research incorporates two types of data; primary data is gathered through observation, while literature review methods are used to collect secondary data. Observations and visual inspections identify common issues such as concrete cracks, absence of handrails, steel corrosion, and overgrown vegetation. Recommendations to address these problems involve repairing cracks, installing handrails, protecting against corrosion, managing vegetation growth, and implementing regular maintenance. The research findings offer valuable guidance to local authorities, enabling them to prioritize pedestrian safety and ensure the bridge's sustained functionality. Adequate allocation of resources and the local government's commitment are essential in implementing these recommendations and enhancing the well-being of pedestrians in urban areas.

Abstract

Water pollution in Java Island is an urgent issue that has a serious impact on public health and the environment. Although several studies have been conducted, there are still gaps in the understanding of more specific health impacts and related environmental impacts. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the impact of water pollution on the island of Java with a focus on public health and the environment. The literature review method is used to analyze and synthesize the relevant literature. The impact of water pollution on public health includes water-related diseases and chronic health problems. Impacts on the environment include damage to aquatic ecosystems and decreased biodiversity. The results and discussion of this study identify several previous studies that have been conducted in Java, but there is still a need for research that is more focused and holistic. This research provides a comprehensive picture of the impact of water pollution on the island of Java and provides a basis for developing policies and actions that are effective in reducing the negative impact.
