Abstract

The growing demand for open and distance education calls for a stronger focus on student well-being, particularly mental health. This study explores the mental health landscape at Universitas Terbuka (UT), Indonesia’s national open university, which serves a geographically dispersed and diverse student population. Employing qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), this research aims to assess mental health needs, identify contributing stressors, and develop policy recommendations to strengthen mental health support in a distance learning context. The findings indicate that students experience anxiety, stress, and burnout, exacerbated by academic pressure, social isolation, and the absence of structured counselling services. To address these challenges, the study proposes a phased strategy: short-term awareness programs, medium-term pilot e-counselling initiatives, and long-term institutional development through a centralized mental health center. This study contributes to the field of education by offering a practical framework for integrating mental health support into distance learning environments at UT, with potential implications for similar institutions across the ASEAN region and beyond. Keywords: mental health, counselling, student, UT

Abstract

This study aims to identify the key actors and assess their roles in groundwater utilization and wastewater management in Pekalongan City. It is a qualitative study focused on the perspectives of community groups. Data were collected through snowball interviews involving several stakeholder groups, including local communities, managers of PAMSIMAS wells, business actors, and related associations or community organizations. The data were then analyzed using content analysis and stakeholder analysis. The results show that there are four categories of stakeholders involved in groundwater utilization and industrial wastewater management in Pekalongan City. These categories are government, community (local residents, business actors, and associations/community organizations), the private sector, and academia. Based on the analysis, the main actors in groundwater utilization and wastewater management in Pekalongan City are the government, business actors/PAMSIMAS well managers, and associations/community organizations. This study highlights the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration involving the collective efforts of these actors to support sustainable groundwater utilization and wastewater management in Pekalongan City. The findings can serve as input for the Pekalongan City Government in developing strategies for stakeholder participation to achieve such sustainability.
