Abstract

Charcoal remains the main energy cooking source for urban dwellers in Uganda. The Shea Nut tree produces quality charcoal which is efficient and locally made. Therefore, it is facing increasing threats from the local communities so as to meet the mushrooming demand. The study analyses the state of the Shea Nut tree, drivers of charcoal production, predict Shea Nut tree vegetation coverage, and establish mechanisms for sustainable utilization and conservation of the Shea Nut trees in Kapelebyong District. Landsat images were classified using likelihood classification in ArcGIS and interviews were conducted whilst geospatial, Stata, and Nvivo tools were used for analysis. The findings reflect a sharp declining trend in the coverage of the shea Nut trees by 2.3% and 6% from 2002-2012 and 2012-2022 respectively. The major drivers include high demand from urban areas, the need for income, and unemployment. As a result, it is predicted that by 2032, the coverage will have reduced to only 713 hectares (7.3%) from 1277 hectares (10.6%) in 2022. Therefore, charcoal production with other land uses has greatly resulted in Shea Nut tree deterioration. The study recommends the use of alternative energy sources, the provision of alternative income-generating activities for the local communities, Government of Uganda through NFA needs to enforce the ways through which Shea Nut trees are managed and utilized in order to minimize illegal cutting.

Abstract

Apart from having educational and development goals, the management of Diponegoro University's Wanadipa Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) also aims to carry out sustainable forest use activities. The management carries out efforts to achieve these goals through a deliberative governance approach, including public consultation. However, the management is not yet satisfied with the results, considering that the community around the forest has not participated well in managing the KHDTK. Therefore, this research aims to analyze deliberative governance in KHDTK forest management by testing three deliberative governance criteria: representation, participation, and deliberation process. This approach is a collaborative effort between managers of Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) and farming communities around the forest. Mixed research methods were used in this research, with a concurrent embedded model. The qualitative research approach uses key informants as data sources, while quantitative research uses respondents consisting of forest farmers. The results of the research show that KHDTK forest management based on aspects of representation, participation, and deliberation has not run optimally. Therefore, it is recommended that intensive and open communication between KHDTK managers and forest farming communities be improved in KHDT forest management, which will provide benefits to both parties.

Abstract

With the increasing global population, providing enough food to meet the increasing demand has become a major challenge for the food-producing sectors. Shrimp is a leading commodity in Indonesia, and their production plays an important role in the aquaculture industry. However, shrimp farming causes various types of pollution that damage the environment and aquatic biodiversity, the related impacts must be mitigated to ensure the sustainability of shrimp production. BBPBAP Jepara as an aquaculture technology developer and reviewer institution conducts environmental studies on the technology being developed. This study conducted a life cycle assessment (LCA) on shrimp farming under the Milenila Shrimps Farming system in the Jepara BBPBAB pond area. Midpoint environmental impacts including acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP) and global warming potential (GWP) were determined. Feed production was identified as the main contributor to AP and GWP for the MSF system, regardless of feed formula. While the environmental performance of feed production is highly dependent on feed conversion ratio, feed ingredients are another determining factor in which animal protein sources, including poultry by-products and fish meal, show a high contribution to AP and GWP. The use of shrimp feed is the largest contributing component of the three impacts, especially with the highest EP. Feed is the highest potential source of impact because the material used has a fish meal component which is the result of marine exploitation which has been quite large so far. In addition, other feed components are agricultural products imported from other countries which are cultivated intensively, one of which is soybean and wheat raw materials, which in their cultivation system still use chemicals and fertilizers intensively.

Abstract

Former clay mining areas often face soil degradation that makes it difficult for vegetation to thrive, even after reclamation. This study explores the physical and chemical characteristics of soil in the reclaimed land of PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk in Cilacap, aiming to understand how effective the rehabilitation efforts have been. Soil samples were taken from six locations, chosen based on differences in vegetation cover and land elevation. The analysis focused on physical properties such as pH, moisture content, temperature, specific gravity, and porosity, along with chemical aspects like macronutrient levels and heavy metal content. Results showed that soil pH ranged from neutral to slightly acidic, with moisture content varying across the site. While macronutrients were generally adequate for plant growth, their distribution was uneven. Some heavy metals, particularly cadmium and silver, were found in concentrations above recommended environmental limits, whereas lead and arsenic levels remained within safe thresholds. Overall, the reclamation process has helped improve soil conditions, but additional steps—like adding lime, incorporating organic matter, and applying specific remediation techniques—are needed to boost soil fertility and reduce contamination risks. Continued monitoring and adaptive strategies will be key to sustaining the health of the reclaimed landscape

Abstract

Environmental quality in Indonesia remains under sustained pressure due to ongoing deforestation, resource-intensive economic growth, and persistent regional development disparities. This study analyzes the influence of the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), deforestation, and regional government revenue and expenditure budgets on the Environmental Quality Index (EQI) across 33 Indonesian provinces. The analysis employs panel data regression, with a Fixed Effects Model selected based on the Hausman specification test. The results reveal that HDI exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on environmental quality, with a one-point increase in HDI corresponding to a 1.988-point rise in the EQI. Deforestation and regional government budget variables do not demonstrate statistically significant effects on the EQI. These findings suggest that higher levels of human development are associated with improved environmental conditions, whereas economic growth trajectories that are predominantly driven by natural resource exploitation continue to degrade environmental quality. Accordingly, regional development policies should be directed toward strengthening human development performance, integrating environmental considerations into economic growth processes, and enhancing the effectiveness of regional budget allocations for environmental sustainability, in order to achieve inclusive and sustainable development.

Abstract

Mangroves are coastal vegetation that lives in tidal zones, providing ecosystem services such as biota habitats, abrasion barriers, breakbreaks, and significant carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation. However, the mangrove ecosystem in Indonesia, including in Rembang District, which includes Pasarbanggi, Tireman, and Kabongan Lor Villages, has been degraded due to land conversion into ponds, logging, and reclamation. This study aims to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of mangrove cover in 1985-2025 in Rembang District using MVI based on Landsat 5 (1985, 1995), Landsat 7 (2005), and Sentinel-2A (2016, 2025) satellite imagery. The analysis was carried out with a composite of NIR, Green, and SWIR Bands, digitization, cropping, cover classification, and analysis of mangrove cover changes. The results of the study show that the area of mangrove cover has experienced very significant fluctuations. The period 1985–2005 was dominated by heavy degradation (-67.93%), while the period 2005–2025 recorded a very strong recovery of mangrove ecosystems (+339.56%), with the high cover class increasing from 17.39 ha to 27.40 ha. The success of rehabilitation and reduced land conversion have succeeded in restoring the area of mangrove forests while improving the quality of mangroves in Rembang District.
