Abstract

Nutritional problems remain a serious challenge in global public health, including in Indonesia. Malnutrition and unbalanced nutritional consumption often contribute to various health problems, such as stunting in children, obesity, and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.The Internet, social media, health apps, and other digital tools provide opportunities to inform the public about the importance of proper nutrition and offer practical strategies for adopting healthy eating patterns.This study aims to explore the role of ICT in improving community nutrition awareness and practices, and to analyze how the use of technology can support nutrition interventions more effectively.This study uses a quantitative approach. The qualitative approach was used to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences, perceptions, and barriers experienced by the community and health workers in using ICT for nutrition education.The sample of this study included 10 respondents for the quantitative part, which were divided into 5 treatment groups and 5 control groups. The study was conducted at the Batang Kuranji Health Center which was implemented in June 2024. The results in both groups before the provision of educational media tended to be lower in the control group (infographics) and the treatment group (web), with a comparison of poor attitude results of 60%-40%. Community attitudes towards the use of IT in improving nutrition practices showed varied responses.

Abstract

Air pollution is a major environmental issue affecting urban areas worldwide, with significant health implications for millions of residents. In Jakarta, rapid urbanization and industrial activities have contributed to deteriorating air quality, exposing the population to harmful pollutants such as particulate matter (PM₂.₅, PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ozone (O₃), and carbon monoxide (CO). This study aimed to analyze the impact of air pollution on public health in Jakarta, identify key hazardous pollutants, and evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation policies. A literature review approach and secondary data analysis were utilized, incorporating air quality monitoring data, epidemiological studies, and government reports. The results indicate that prolonged exposure to air pollutants correlates with increased cases of respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis, COPD), cardiovascular disorders, and overall mortality rates. The study also observes fluctuating air quality trends in Jakarta between 2020 and 2024, with periods of improvement attributed to regulatory interventions. Findings highlight the urgency of implementing stricter pollution control policies, promoting public transportation, and enhancing air quality monitoring systems. The study concludes that a multi-stakeholder approach, involving government, industry, and communities, is essential for sustainable urban air quality management. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of air pollution exposure and the effectiveness of policy measures in reducing health risks.
