Abstract

The presence of a palm oil company in an area can be a mainstay in the economic sector, providing employment opportunities and indirect benefits from local infrastructure development. In other conditions, environmental damage and social conflict challenges emerge as risks from palm oil company activities. This study aims to analyze the positive and negative impacts of oil palm according to society, the social conflicts it causes because of environmental damage, and provide alternative solutions. For the objectives to be answered, a qualitative approach was used to gather a purposive sampling of informants with data collected from local communities near plantations (primary) and documentation (secondary). One hundred and one questionnaires were distributed, and interviews were conducted between 12 and 28 November 2023. It found that oil palm plantations boost local economies by facilitating easier sales of small-scale farmers' harvests to companies at stable prices, ensuring steady income, especially when prices are high. Infrastructure improvements, such as road paving and bridge construction funded by CSR initiatives, benefit the community despite some road damage from plantation vehicles. However, plantations are causing environmental damage, creating economic inequality, and disrupting traditional communities. Expansion leads to social jealousy, cultural loss among Indigenous people, and road damage from plantation traffic; worse still, it causes conflicts between the community and the company. In addressing social conflicts, communities have engaged in environmental conservation through cooperation, customary deliberations, and dialogues with companies and the government. Therefore, social approaches are highly effective as alternative solutions for resolving social conflicts.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan industri nasional Indonesia pada 2012–2022 rata-rata sebesar 3,72%, dengan penurunan tajam pada 2020 akibat pandemi COVID-19 (-4,36%), sebelum kembali meningkat hingga mencapai 7,00% pada 2022. Dalam konteks ini, limbah industri memiliki potensi ekonomi yang signifikan, terutama bagi komunitas tertentu seperti Orang Madura, yang memanfaatkannya sebagai sumber penghasilan. Namun, kegiatan ekonomi sirkular dalam pengelolaan limbah industri oleh komunitas ini belum optimal. Permasalahan utama terletak pada sistem pengelolaan yang belum sesuai ketentuan, serta kurangnya manajemen terhadap modal, biaya operasional, dan keuntungan usaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengelolaan limbah industri oleh Orang Madura di Desa Tamelang, Kecamatan Purwasari, Kabupaten Karawang, dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan analisis deskriptif terhadap data hasil wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengolahan limbah, terutama dari proses peleburan, menghasilkan bahan baku padat yang memiliki nilai jual kembali. Keuntungan finansial menjadi indikator utama keberhasilan ekonomi, sementara dampak non-finansial mencakup pencapaian pribadi dan kontribusi sosial. Implikasinya, penguatan manajemen usaha dan edukasi pengelolaan limbah dapat meningkatkan keberlanjutan ekonomi komunitas pengolah limbah.

Abstract

The rising of education with an environmentally friendly approach becomes one of the focuses on implementing sustainable growth of social life. This principle includes an attempt to develop the ecologically friendly pesantren. Along the time, pesantren is identified as a religion and social center. Meanwhile, its surrounding environment has not become the primary priority. This paper sought to analyze the activity of community service related to initiating the perspective change of pesantren. The study implies that pesantren not only an education institute practicing educational activity, but also become an agent of change for creating a better social life and society around, and further, to perform the environmentally friendly pesantren. The research used the literature review approach to propose the Eco-Pesantren strategy, the benefits and social-economic impact for pesantren and the greater community. Moreover, the Eco-Pesantren concept becomes the basis and good characteristic learning with concern for the environment. Furthermore, environmental theology brings Eco-Pesantren on the profound philosophy of eco-ethical perspectives.

Abstract

Households are the largest contributors to food waste in Indonesia. Rural communities often lack effective waste management infrastructure, making it essential to promote low-cost, sustainable alternatives like maggot cultivation to reduce organic waste and support local agriculture. A questionnaire survey of 114 householders was performed on Kertajaga residents to assess their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards food waste management, including refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and participation in the organic waste bank. The study analyzes the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice. The study also covered the relationship between sociodemographic variables and KAP towards household food waste management. The respondents were divided into two categories: waste bank customers and non-customers, whose differences in KAP levels were also assessed in this research. There is a significant difference between customer and non-customer knowledge, but it is not found in attitude and practice. The main finding of this study is that knowledge of food waste management in rural households is generally good and significantly influenced by socialization activities, while attitudes and practices remain moderate with varied associations to sociodemographic factors. A study regarding the content and forms of waste management socialization that are suitable and acceptable for low-income rural communities needs to be carried out to increase the effectiveness of household food waste management in rural areas.

Abstract

Environmental damage from palm oil production remains a pressing and significant global issue, driving ecosystem disruption and social conflicts. Local communities, as the first to experience its impacts, are central actors in addressing deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This study examines the role of local communities in the Subah sub-district, Indonesia, in managing environmental degradation and mitigating social conflicts associated with palm oil plantations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a Likert scale questionnaire with 101 respondents and field observations to capture both quantitative trends and community perspectives. The study underscores the importance of empowering local communities by integrating their traditional knowledge and practices into broader environmental governance frameworks. Over 60% of respondents agreed that active participation improves environmental quality and reduces conflict, with nearly 70% reporting direct involvement in conflict resolution. For instance, community-led reforestation in Sabung Village restored biodiversity and strengthened social cohesion, while waterway cleanups in Mukti Raharja Village reduced pollution and eased tensions with plantation companies. These examples highlight how grassroots initiatives can foster both ecological restoration and social harmony. This study’s novelty lies in its focus on community driven environmental practices as dual strategies for ecological management and peacebuilding in palm oil-producing regions. The results suggest the need for participatory approaches, where companies collaborate with communities to promote sustainable practices, prevent environmental degradation, and ensure long-term social stability.

Abstract

The threat of circulating space orbit is considered by some to be a threat to the national security of one country because the potential dangers such as space junk produce significant damage to affected areas. But until now Indonesia, despite ratifying the UN convention on space, does not yet have a comprehensive mitigation strategy. This study aims to create policy scenarios for mitigating the threat of satellite orbit circulation so that it can be used as an alternative policy formulation for relevant institutions. The research method is carried out with a mixed method approach that is adjusted to each research objective such as using literature study and AHP analysis. AHP analysis shows that respondents want international cooperation to be built, both bilateral and multilateral cooperation must prioritize national security while upholding the values of friendship and mutual respect. Comprehensive space debris mitigation policies need to be formulated and defined as the basis for action. Considering that the impact of space debris is very dangerous and massive, the use of space technology is a necessity to be used to anticipate, deal with quickly, and minimize the impact of the disaster.

Abstract

Climate change currently becomes the concern of policymakers and academics because the impact is already extensive. The Bajo People Community, located in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi is a coastal community with a significant portion of its population living as fishermen. The people and fishermen in the Bajo people also felt the impact of climate change on the coastal and marine environment. The effect on the environment is very influential on the economic and social community of the Bajo People. This study aims to define the alternative to propose adaptation strategy to deal with climate change for fishermen. The benefit of this study is to provide input for planners, policymakers, and practitioners related to fisheries in the territory of Indonesia. Climate change adaptation is necessary to maintain the quality of life of fishers and to achieve the stability of available resources. This study used a literature study and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as its method to find the alternative strategy in order to face climate change. The plan proposed in this research are three, namely increasing knowledge and information about climate change, resource management, and livelihood diversification. The result of this research is that Bajo Fishermen need an appropriate adaptation strategy to mitigate the situation towards climate change issues, which is necessary to prevent the disruption of economic and social activities, focusing on the cognitive, practical and structured aspects that base on cultural values, norms, and customs of the Bajo people. This study found four useful variables to be used as coping strategies for climate change, which are social, ecological, economic and political alternatives. The four variables are strengthening the surveillance of epidemic disease, developing fish gear technology, improving proper water treatment management, and creating awareness of climate change for the fishermen community.

Abstract

Since the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the pursuit of human well-being through development and planetary sustainability for a better future has become a global discourse (de Jong & Vijge, 2021; Naseer et al., 2025; Arora-Jonsson, 2023). The SDGs have catalyzed interdisciplinary dialogue and strengthened global commitment (Naseer et al., 2025) by emphasizing the balance and integration of economic, social, and environmental aspects (Sedovs et al., 2025). However, the assumption that all goals can be achieved simultaneously and harmoniously seems hasty and potentially ignores the inherent tensions between ecological and economic interests (Spaiser et al., 2016; Glinik et al., 2024). For example, land-use changes drivened by economic growth can lead to ecosystem degradation (Luo & He, 2023). Furthermore, biodiversity degradation and the climate crisis are often frame within the logic of global capitalism to encourage economic growth (Rosales, 2008; van Niekerk, 2020). Economic growth itself is ambivalent, on the one hand promoting development, but on the other driving environmental degradation. Today's realities also show that the consistent rapid increase in industrial and service sector activity has placed enormous pressure on the environment and natural resources (Sadiq et al., 2022). In this context, the SDGs can be seen as a promising normative framework, but their implementation ultimately depends on the ability to interpret and manage the tensions between goals. Governance plays a critical role in the success of sustainable development initiatives (Filho et al., 2023; Adebayo et al., 2025; Naseer et al., 2025). Good governance ensures that policies are effectively enforced, resources are allocated efficiently, and stakeholders are adequately engaged (Handoyo, 2024). Environmental sustainability is driven by appropriate physical planning and land use, as well as ecological or biodiversity conservation (Paudel & States, 2023). The successful implementation of the SDGs will depend on untangling the complex interactions between their goals and targets (Breuer et al., 2019). An integrated approach requires both to sustainability requires simultaneously realizing the potential of its key dimensions, as well as managing the tensions, trade-offs, and synergies between them. This is where an interdisciplinary approach in environmental science becomes essential. Such an approach focuses not only on calculating environmental degradation but also on dominant narratives and reconstructing power relations. Understanding environmental risk, for example, cannot be separated from the historical, social, and political context surrounding it. Environmental risk is not simply a neutral, objective entity, but rather a construct shaped by power, knowledge, and access to decision-making. Therefore, all decisions must strive to promote positive growth and balance within natural systems (Mensah, 2019) Environmental science offers a platform that integrates scientific discussion, policy action, and community aspirations to reposition development as a reflective and participatory process. The challenge extends beyond simply collecting more data or refining indicators; it involves innovating an ethical system robust enough to manage conflicts between values, priorities, and visions of sustainability itself. Herein lies the urgency: making environmental science a space for critical reflection. The diversity of local conditions presents both challenges and opportunities in the application of global sustainability frameworks, as discussed through the diverse case studies in this issue, from soil microbial dynamics in Bangladesh (Begum et al., 2025), to the transformation of livelihoods among illegal gold miners in Indonesia (Ardikoesoema & Karuniasa, 2025). Both studies emphasize that science-based solutions can be integrated into sustainable development strategies at various scales. This geographic and methodological diversity enables a deeper understanding of how principles of sustainability practices can be contextualized locally while still contributing to global goals. The Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development has been indexed by Scopus [JESSD Scopus Link] and presents various studies that demonstrate the concrete contribution of environmental science in achieving the SDGs through a multi-scale and interdisciplinary approach. The current 14th issue of the Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development presents a series of studies that demonstrate the concrete contribution of environmental science at various scales in achieving the SDGs through a multi-scale and interdisciplinary approach. The articles in this issue not only support these claims empirically and rigorously but also demonstrate, in practical terms, how environmental research can be translated into effective strategies for sustainable development at the local, national, and global levels.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization has accelerated the degradation of subak rice fields in Bali, manifested through pollution of irrigation channels and reduced agricultural productivity. This study assessed the extent and characteristics of land degradation in South Denpasar and formulated sustainable management strategies for restoring the ecological and cultural integrity of the subak system. The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) was applied to identify key problems, analyze causal relationships, and develop measurable strategies. Data were obtained through questionnaires, interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Results showed that approximately 87 hectares of subak land were lost within five years, driven by weak spatial enforcement, domestic and industrial waste pollution, and limited farmer regeneration. The study formulated five priority strategies: (1) enforcement of land use regulations, (2) economic incentives for conservation farming, (3) integration of Tri Hita Karana values, (4) farmer capacity building through digital technology and (5) improved irrigation maintenance. The research highlights that sustaining the subak system requires a multi dimensional management approach integrating ecological restoration, socio economic empowerment, and cultural revitalization. Adoption of this framework by local authorities can enhance urban land governance, strengthen farmer livelihoods, and preserve Bali’s cultural agricultural heritage amid ongoing urban pressures.

Abstract

An effective waste collection system is an essential step in plastic waste handling and impacts positively on recycling rates. In the era of digital technology transformation, digital-based plastic waste collection and recycling have emerged to offer innovative solutions for more effective plastic waste management from upstream to downstream which contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals target. However, this solution has not been widely implemented in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize the role of digitalization of waste collection in accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals. This study employed with a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. Bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer version 1.6.20 was conducted to map prior studies on the digitalization of waste collection in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This study confirms that the digitalization of waste collection contributes to the achievement of the three pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals, example economics, social, and environmental pillar.
