Abstract

Biomass utilization is believed to bring environmental and socio-economic benefits—PT X coal in a steam boiler. The research method used is a mix of quantitative and qualitative. The concentration of particulates that coal produces is higher than that of sugar cane bagasse. The NOx parameter values produced by bagasse and coal showed insignificant results. Meanwhile, coal boilers with higher temperatures produced higher NOx than NOx from biomass. The distribution concentration of SOx in bagasse biomass is higher than coal SOx emissions. A total of 26 communities agreed to change the use of coal to bagasse biomass. Utilization of bagasse biomass provides income of up to 94,000,000,000. Using bagasse as steam boiler fuel has a more positive impact than coal.

Abstract

This study evaluates the potential of molasses (sugarcane molasses) as the main feedstock for bioethanol production with a capacity of 100 kiloliters per day at PT Enaro Mojokerto. Assuming a fermentation efficiency of 90% and a theoretical sugar-to-ethanol conversion ratio of 0.511 kg ethanol per kg sugar, the required sugar is approximately 171.559 kg/day, corresponding to 343 tons of molasses (with 50% sugar content) to produce 100 KL of ethanol per day. Literature review and secondary data collection were conducted to evaluate three main criteria: feedstock availability, supply continuity, and fermentable sugar content. The analysis results indicate that East Java has a molasses production potential of 660,000 tons/year from 15 active sugar mills, with the highest concentration in Malang, Kediri, and Mojokerto regencies. This study concludes that the development of the molasses-based bioethanol industry in Mojokerto is technically and economically feasible with integrated supply chain management support.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in the understanding of Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS) within landlocked, resource-constrained contexts by focusing on Chikwawa District, Malawi. The study moved beyond descriptive accounts to provide a nuanced analysis grounding the inquiry into disaster risk reduction theory to assess both the operational and community-level effectiveness of current systems. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research combines quantitative data from 204 household surveys with qualitative insights from four key informant interviews to triangulate the assessment of flood preparedness, warning dissemination, and community response capabilities. The findings reveal that, while national agencies have established relatively robust monitoring frameworks, significant challenges persist in the final-mile communication loop, resulting in a notable disparity between warning issuance and effective community action. Specifically, issues such as a lack of trust in official messages, inconsistent communication channels, and the absence of well-defined evacuation routes critically hinder the system's overall efficacy. By integrating geographical analysis with on-the-ground perspectives, this paper provides a more complete picture of the obstacles to effective FEWS. The study's key policy implications include the need for more localised and tailored communication strategies, community-based drills to foster trust, and targeted infrastructure investments to enhance last-mile delivery and response capabilities. This work contributes to academic literature by offering a theoretically grounded case study from a landlocked perspective, enriching the global discourse on flood resilience.

Abstract

Uncontrolled and excessive use of groundwater leads to economic, social, and environmental impacts. This study investigated factors influencing the low willingness to utilize piped water. The research was conducted in Duren Sawit Village, East Jakarta. The study focused on the sources of household clean water and the factors affecting the low utilization of piped water. A qualitative research approach was employed through in-depth interviews with key informants selected using purposive sampling, and the problem was analyzed using a fishbone diagram. The study found 81% of households use groundwater, only 9% use piped water, and 10% use both sources. The findings reveal that 25% of the households using piped water still rely entirely on groundwater. The low utilization of piped water was influenced by several factors, including socio-economic conditions, environmental behavior, groundwater quality, performance of PAM Jaya, and groundwater regulations for household usage. Based on the analysis, strategies for accelerating piped water utilization were proposed, including socialization and education on groundwater conservation, quality of groundwater, improvement of PAM Jaya performance, and changes in regulations regarding groundwater use for household. Environmental behavior is identified as the primary factor influencing the high use of groundwater. Several strategies involving stakeholders are necessary to promote the use of piped water among households. Keywords: Environmental behaviour, Ground water, Ground water regulation, Piped water, Socio economic.

Abstract

Mitigasi bencana di tingkat desa menjadi isu krusial seiring implementasi UU Desa No. 6 Tahun 2014, namun efektivitasnya di lapangan masih sangat bervariasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis determinan upaya mitigasi bencana oleh pemerintah desa, dengan fokus pada pengaruh pengalaman bencana (frekuensi dan korban jiwa), karakteristik bencana, dan ketimpangan kapasitas antarwilayah. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan data sekunder dari Survei Potensi Desa (PODES) 2020 yang mencakup 25.504 desa terdampak bencana di Indonesia, penelitian ini menerapkan analisis regresi Ordinary Least Square (OLS) dengan Robust Standard Errors. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa frekuensi kejadian, jenis bencana, dan jumlah korban jiwa berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap indeks mitigasi. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa pengalaman empiris terhadap bencana dan besarnya dampak kerugian yang ditimbulkan menjadi pendorong  utama bagi pemerintah desa untuk berinvestasi dalam aspek keselamatan. Fenomena ini mengonfirmasi berjalannya mekanisme disaster learning, di mana respons mitigasi cenderung bersifat reaktif terhadap kejadian masa lalu. Temuan kunci dari studi ini adalah adanya disparitas regional yang nyata, di mana desa di Pulau Jawa memiliki tingkat kesiapsiagaan yang jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan desa di Luar Jawa. Hal ini mengindikasikan ketimpangan infrastruktur dan kapasitas administratif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pemerintah pusat untuk tidak lagi menggunakan pendekatan seragam, melainkan menerapkan kebijakan afirmatif dalam alokasi Dana Desa serta memberikan pendampingan teknis intensif bagi desa-desa di luar Jawa untuk menutup kesenjangan risiko tersebut.

Abstract

Sustainability issues are now a global concern. However, knowing the root causes of problems and the target is not the only factor that constantly motivates change for the better (Wamsle & Osberg, 2022) as such change also requires encouragement from actors, including individuals, organizations, and communities. Therefore, the human aspect is crucial for the successful achievement of sustainability (Hariram et al., 2023). In other words, questions on sustainability are not just about "what should be done?" and also on “how to get people to do it?” and “why are currently available interventions not yet fully utilized?” Such is required reflecting the findings of a body of previous research which accentuates that our main struggle in the global era we already in, is the discrepancy between awareness and action, between policy and practice, between scientific knowledge and behavior (Hariram et al., 2023; Kirchner-Krath et al., 2024). Global sustainability efforts often promoted into green technologies and environmental policies. It has shown that even well-designed interventions, the result not always in meaningful change. In several countries, some initiatives have fallen short because they overlook the psychological and socio-cultural factors that shape individual behavior and collective decision-making (de Costa et al., 2025). It also requires a deep understanding of community perspectives as expressed through local social norms and everyday practices. As a result, the presence of infrastructure or the financial support mechanism alone is not enough to drive meaningful change (Kinzig et al., 2013). Local context is another critical factor that shape adoption behavior and the extent to which proposed solutions are accepted and supported (Carmen et al., 2024; Syamsiyah et al., 2025). In this context, a more comprehensive understanding of environmental science is required. With the philosophy of environmental science, humans constitute is one of the three core dimensions, together with environmental and economic factors, and any effective approach that must balance to these elements. However, when modern environmental science, characterized by data analyses and methodologies is applied in practice, it often meets tensions with deeply rooted local and traditional knowledge systems that have shaped people’s perceptions and behaviors for generations (Ijatuyi et al., 2025). A clear example can be found in Bali, where the Subak irrigation system and the Danu Kerthi philosophy have guided water management for centuries. These practices represent living environmental systems rather than merely cultural heritage to be preserved. When traditional approaches are used into environmental science, conservation efforts are often more effective, as they are grounded in community acceptance and sustained through active local participation (Morse, 2025). This integration can serve as a recognition that centuries-old knowledge systems have legitimacy and effectiveness that must be combined with scientific monitoring and formal governance to achieve optimal conservation outcomes. Beyond the local context, the organizational context, both in the public and private sectors, can also act as a transformative agent in driving individual practices (Borrás et al., 2024; Keil et al., 2025). Green human resource management (GHRM) integrates environmental and individual lifecycle goals within an organization. This approach demonstrates how integrating understandings of desires can influence individual behaviour and drive organizational innovation that contributes to sustainability (Ahmad et al., 2025; Borrás et al., 2024; Keil et al., 2025; Shoaib et al., 2025). This 15th issue of the Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development focuses on an often overlooked yet fundamental dimension of sustainability: the ways in which human behavior, cultural and spiritual value systems, local institutional contexts, and the integration of traditional knowledge with modern science collectively shape sustainable landscapes. Unlike previous editions that highlight biophysical and techno-ecological aspects, this issue shifts attention into questions of agency, motivation, beliefs, norms, and meaningful systems that highlight environmental decisions and actions. This perspective shows the critical need for interdisciplinary approaches to explaining contemporary sustainability challenges. Environmental issues today extend beyond ecological degradation to include human behavior and the capacity of diverse knowledge systems, scientific, local, and policy-based, to interact and function cohesively. Consequently, behavioral transformation supported by the integration of multiple knowledge systems represents a fundamental pathway toward effective, adaptive, and long-term sustainability action. The articles in this issue explore diverse geographic and sectoral contexts, ranging from the application of green transportation technologies, air management in urban-industrial versus traditional-tourism contexts, climate adaptation in agricultural communities, global natural resource management (GHRM) practices in the tourism sector, to indigenous wisdom-based lake conservation and sustainable food systems.

Abstract

The cement industry is one of the most important industries in the development of a country. However, the production activities of the cement industry also cause significant environmental impacts, one of which is air pollution. One of the by-products of fuel combustion in the cement industry is fly ash, which if not managed properly can pollute the air and the surrounding environment. This research aims to provide an overview of the environmental impacts of using fly ash in the cement industry, especially in relation to air pollution. This research uses the literature review method, which is by collecting and reviewing literature or documents related to the research topic. The data sources used in this research are scientific journals, books, and other related documents. Data analysis in this study was carried out by reviewing and examining literature or documents related to the research topic, then summarizing and compiling the results of the analysis into an overview. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of fly ash in the cement industry has significant environmental impacts, especially related to air pollution. However, there are several technologies and fly ash processing methods that can reduce the environmental impact of cement industry production activities, such as the use of fly ash as raw material for making lightweight concrete or as raw material for the production of other building materials.

Abstract

Stunting remains a serious public health problem in urban areas. A contributing factor to the high prevalence of stunting in the region is the limited availability of clean water and nutrient-rich foods. In addition, this sub-district is at risk of experiencing a clean water crisis in the future. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the integration of rainwater harvesting (RWH) and urban farming to overcome stunting, access to clean water, and food supply in Kalibaru District, North Jakarta. The method used is a social experiment through three processes: community education, RWH installation, and urban agricultural system development. For each process, data collection was carried out through field observations and surveys of 39 respondents. Community knowledge was measured before and after the process through questionnaires, and the results of the integration of RWH and urban farming systems were described. The results showed an increase in public knowledge about the benefits of RWH integration and urban farming. RWH has helped alleviate the problem of clean water availability effectively and economically. Meanwhile, urban agriculture has given communities better access to nutrient-rich foods, which in turn can help reduce the problem of stunting.

Abstract

The global movement in green building development has been going on since the early 1960s. Although initially driven by environmental agendas such as carbon and energy, there is a growing acknowledgment that green buildings can affect Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). Many researchers also state that improved indoor environmental quality is associated with better occupant satisfaction. However, some localized green buildings, especially in developing countries, often don’t recognize IEQs and occupant satisfaction as important issues, so they remain unstudied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of IEQ and occupant satisfaction. The analytical methods used were descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The outcome demonstrated that green building standards do not automatically improve indoor environment quality, particularly when the lighting parameter is below the limit values. The analysis findings showed that most respondents expressed their satisfaction with IEQ and significantly influenced occupant satisfaction. In addition, this research contributes to the development of green building evaluation practices that prioritize environmental health and occupant satisfaction
