Abstract. Ulfa R, Fatmah, Utomo SW. 2025. Short Communication: Community knowledge and uses of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) in an Urban Herbal Village, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 26: 4017-4022. Andrographis paniculata, commonly known as sambiloto or the bitter, is a widely recognized medicinal plant used traditionally across Asia. Known for its bitter taste and pharmacological benefits, this plant is commonly used to treat fever, influenza, inflammation, diabetes, and infections. Despite its broad health applications, the level of public knowledge and actual utilization of A. paniculata in urban areas remains understudied. This study examined the correlation between community knowledge and practical uses of A. paniculata in Kampung Herbal Nginden, an urban herbal village in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was used, including structured questionnaires with 105 respondents and in-depth interviews with key community informants. The results showed that 52% of respondents demonstrated high knowledge of A. paniculata, yet only 44% actively utilized the plant in their daily life. A significant correlation was found between knowledge and utilization (p: 0.001), with high-knowledge individuals being 7.58 times more likely to use the plant. These findings highlight the need for increased community awareness and educational interventions, which are crucial for supporting the sustainable use of medicinal plants in urban settings. Community-based approaches, such as Kampung Herbal Nginden, provide a valuable foundation for preserving urban ethnobotanical practices, where cultural practices are often challenged by modernization and pharmaceutical dominance. Promoting ethnobotanical knowledge and practical use in urban environments is essential not only for public health but also for conserving cultural heritage and medicinal plant biodiversity.

Abstract

Background: Gas stations (SPBU) generate hazardous waste, including contaminated rags, used oil, waste batteries (accumulators), and electronic waste. Under Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on Environmental Protection and Management Implementation (PP 22/2021) and Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry (PermenLHK) No. 6 of 2021, these wastes must be stored in Hazardous Waste Temporary Storage Facilities (TPS LB3). Previous studies have examined contamination risks and fire safety. However, limited studies have evaluated compliance with the updated TPS LB3 regulations. This study aims to analyze hazardous waste management and TPS LB3 availability at gas stations in DKI Jakarta. Methods: This study uses quantitative descriptive methods complemented by qualitative analysis (mixed methods). The sample comprised nine purposively selected gas stations in DKI Jakarta. Data were collected through questionnaires, field observations, and interviews with gas station operators and managers, then analyzed using a checklist based on the technical specifications of PermenLHK No. 6 of 2021. Findings: Among nine gas stations, three (33.3%) had TPS LB3, while six (66.7%) did not. Compliance with the regulation reached 78.9%; however, no station met the permanent building requirement, and only 33.3% implemented hazardous waste logbook documentation. Gas stations without TPS LB3 achieved only 26.9% compliance. Conclusion: TPS LB3 implementation at gas stations in DKI Jakarta generally does not comply with PermenLHK No. 6 of 2021. The main deficiencies involve permanent buildings, drainage systems, and hazardous waste documentation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides empirical evidence of compliance gaps in TPS LB3 implementation under Indonesia's updated hazardous waste regulations, identifying priority aspects for improving hazardous waste management at gas stations.
