Abstract

Flooding is a natural phenomenon that can cause disasters for humans, especially in Indonesia and the Philippines, which often experience significant impacts on the economy, transportation, and social life. This research aims to analyze the factors that cause flooding in both countries, compare the management policies implemented, and provide recommendations for improved mitigation. The method used is a literature review to collect and analyze various scientific sources. The results show that in Indonesia, factors causing flooding include land subsidence, land use change, and climate change, while in the Philippines, flooding is often triggered by tropical storms and extreme rainfall. Indonesia's response strategy focuses on river normalization and drainage infrastructure, while the Philippines implements a National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan that covers prevention, preparedness, and rehabilitation. Despite these efforts, challenges such as urbanization and land acquisition still hamper the effectiveness of flood management. Recommendations include improving infrastructure, sustainable spatial planning, and community education.

The plastic waste crisis in Indonesia and Thailand is one of the biggest environmentalchallenges in Southeast Asia, triggered by increased plastic consumption due to urbanization,economic growth and modern lifestyles. This study aims to analyze the challenges,environmental impacts, and sustainable solutions related to plastic waste management in bothcountries. The method used is qualitative analysis based on secondary data from scientificliterature, reports of international institutions. The results show that Indonesia faces seriousproblems in plastic waste management that cause marine pollution to other countries, whileThailand struggles with the high volume of domestic and imported plastic waste. Theresulting environmental impacts include damage to marine ecosystems, threats tobiodiversity, and human health risks from microplastics. Recommended solutions include theimplementation of national regulations that support sustainability principles, 3R (Reduce,Reuse, Recycle) strategies, promotion of eco-friendly packaging, and public education toreduce the use of single-use plastics. The study concludes that regional collaboration amongASEAN countries is needed to effectively address the plastic waste crisis to protectecosystems and human health in the long term.
