Abstract

The health service industry involves activities that provide medical services (hospital), manufacture of medical equipment or drugs, and medical insurance services. Options of research methods to measure the impact of services on environmental aspects are available. One among which is life cycle analysis (LCA), the recently popular practice in Indonesia. This paper attempts to explore whether LCA could be fitted to the health service industry. A literature review would help in procuring related references from various publications accompanied by several research results and related studies. For describing the application of LCA in hospitals, several articles were collected, which were later arranged according to certain systematics from several sources. The LCA methodology used here consists of the following four stages: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. The stages follow the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14040 and UNEP SETAC, 2011. Several studies using the LCA method in hospitals have reported specific profiles such as the management of biohazardous medical waste (BMW) and waste water. Several studies have also used LCA methods to assess specifically the environmental and health impacts of a specific component of the hospital or hospital activities. For example, studies have assessed the impact of equipment used in the form of containers, catheter, laryngeal mask, gowns and also infrastructures’ facilities. The results of this study confirmed that the LCA method is suitable in health service industry, particularly in hospitals. Considering the merits and drawbacks involved in applying this method, one could further apply it to related health service issues.

Abstract

World Bank & FAO state that 75 percent of global fisheries resources face the threat of depletion or reduced stock due to excessive fishing and environmental damage. Indonesia also has a similar situation. It encouraged a number of parties to push for a mechanism for controlling the production and consumption of sustainable through ecolabeling. There are many weaknesses in the implementation of the certification system in developing countries. The lack of protection for fishermen’s rights is one of the main problems of ecolabeling. The aim of study is to see the importance and priority of each ecolabel scheme that effectively promotes sustainable fisheries management. This study uses a mixed-method with a purposive sampling-based Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The results indicate that the national ecolabel scheme is a priority choice of stakeholders including small fishermen in Indonesia. The trust of stakeholders is the basic capital in its preparation. The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries needs to immediately initiate the national ecolabel scheme. Another challenge is how to develop the national fisheries ecolabeling as a brand of sustainable fishery products and encourages the welfare of fishermen.Keywords: fisheries ecolabel, small scale fishermen, fishermen rights, stakeholder supportAbstrakWorld Bank dan FAO menyatakan bahwa sejak tahun 2006 sebesar 75 persen sumber daya perikanan global mengalami ancaman deplesi atau penurunan stok akibat praktik penangkapan yang berlebihan dan merusak lingkungan. Indonesia juga menghadapi hal serupa di mana kelestarian sumber daya perikanan terancam akibat praktik penangkapan berlebih, merusak, dan ilegal. Kondisi tersebut mendorong dilakukannya mekanisme pengendalian produksi dan konsumsi berkelanjutan melalui ecolabelling. Namun demikian penerapan sistem sertifikasi tersebut di negara berkembang menemui banyak kendala. Minimnya perlindungan terhadap hak nelayan menjadi salah satu masalah utama ekolabel perikanan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat bobot kepentingan dan prioritas masing-masing skema ekolabel yang efektif mendorong pengelolaan perikanan yang lestari. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah mixed method dengan metode Delphi berbasis purposive sampling serta metode Analytic Hierarcy Process (AHP). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skema ekolabel nasional menjadi prioritas pilihan stakeholder termasuk nelayan kecil di Indonesia. Kepercayaan stakeholder terhadap skema ekolabel perikanan nasional menjadi modal dasar dalam penyusunannya. Pemerintah Indonesia, melalui Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan, perlu segera melakukan inisiasi skema ekolabel perikanan tersebut. Tantangan lainnya adalah bagaimana mengembangkan ekolabel perikanan nasional sebagai sebuah merek produk perikanan yang berkelanjutan dan mendorong peningkatan kesejahteraan nelayan.Kata kunci: ekolabel perikanan, nelayan kecil, hak nelayan, dukungan stakeholder

Abstract

The global commitment to manage climate change issues is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore this review is carried out with the objective to obtain recent progress of efforts on emission control and handling through CCUS by various countries around the world. This review is carried out to highlight the development of carbon capture utilization and/or storage (CCUS) in China, the USA, and India, as these countries are known to be the most energy consumption countries. Its campaign to reduce emissions will contribute significantly to the effort of managing the global warming issue. The method used in this study is a literature review on the policies, studies, and projects mainly in China, and several other countries for comparison. The review found that although China is relatively late in doing such activities on climate change, but the progress is significantly faster than the others. The numbers of studies and patents are much higher than other countries, and the central and local governments issued a number of policies to help encourages the industries. The USA is known as one of the leading countries implementing CCS/CCUS and still creating incentive policies. European, Russian, and Indian countries pay serious attention to this effort and implement it while Indonesia as a non-industrial country is catching up.. From this literature research, it can be concluded that the technology for implementing CCUS is still at a high cost so policy and government funding support is needed as well as non-traditional sources of capital source such as green funding, carbon trading, etc.
