Abstract

Background: Kendari City has set regional regulation No. 16 of 2014 about smoke-free zones (SFZs), however, it has been no tool that is optimal in law enforcement on the application of SFZs regulation in this region.Objectives: This study aims to measure the factors of community intentions in the development of the whistle-blowing systems (WBS) in law enforcement of the SFZs regulation in Kendari City.Methods: The action research approach was carried out with the development of the WBS application which was followed by an observational survey of the community at eight SFZs that had been set in Kendari City.Results: The WBS application for SFZs regulation enforcement in Kendari City was developed through two interfaces: the website on the law enforcement team (Pamong Praja official police and the Health Office) and an Android-based application that can be downloaded for free on the reporting side. Most people of Kendari City have good intentions (90.2 %) in using WBS for SFZs regulation enforcement. This intention indirectly tends to get support from the community (ORadj = 5.1). The age of teenagers or students has the highest proportion in intending to use the WBS for SFZs regulation law enforcement other than employees of private (ORadj = 3.2).Conclusion: Almost the entire community of Kendari intends to use the WBS to SFZs regulation law enforcement also seen indirectly through social supports. This intention related to the age group of adolescents and the type of work of private employees. Further studies are needed to make one of the SFZs as a pilot project in the implementation of the WBS, e.g. educational institutions as a place for teenagers/students.

Abstract

Background: Seawater intrusion refers to the infiltration of seawater into groundwater, either naturally or artificially, due to the extraction of groundwater for domestic purposes. Seawater intrusion can have wide-ranging impacts on various aspects of life, including health issues, reduced soil fertility, structural damage, and groundwater contamination. In the Kendari District area, people rely on springs, dug wells, and drilled wells to fulfill their daily water needs, as well as for tourist and commercial activities. However, signs of seawater intrusion become evident when the water used by residents in the area becomes brackish or even saline. Objective: This study was to determine the distribution pattern of seawater intrusion and chloride zones in the coastal area of Kendari District, specifically within Kendari City, Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a descriptive research design and utilized purposive sampling to select the subjects. A total of 20 water samples were collected from residents in Kendari District, Kendari City. The research was conducted at various wells within the district. The collected data were then entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the distribution pattern of seawater intrusion and chloride zones in the coastal area of Kendari District, Kendari City. Results: The findings revealed an average pH of 7.11 (ranging from 5 to 8.8), an average temperature of 29.4°C (ranging from 29.4 to 32.7°C), an average Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) level of 590.25 mg/L (ranging from 54 to 1,388 mg/L), and an average salinity of 3.05‰ (ranging from 1 to 5‰). Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that seawater intrusion is classified as low and is not affecting the wells used by residents in the coastal area of Kendari District, Kendari City, Indonesia.
