Abstract

MTNR in Pangalengan, West Java, is a conservation area with high biodiversity that is increasingly pressured by tourism and agricultural activities, which may affect air quality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between air quality and lichen diversity as bioindicators of air pollution. A descriptive exploratory method was applied at four site types representing different levels of human activity: forest, roadside, plantation, and tourist areas. The results showed that microclimatic conditions and air quality at all sites were classified as good according to Government Regulation No. 22/2021. However, lichen diversity and thallus composition varied among sites in response to environmental conditions. Crustose lichens dominated roadside and plantation areas with higher environmental stress, while foliose and fruticose lichens were more abundant in forest areas characterized by lower temperatures, higher humidity, and minimal pollution. The presence of sensitive species such as Usnea sp. and Ramalina sp. indicated superior air quality in forest sites. In conclusion, lichen distribution reflects an air quality gradient across the study area, confirming the effectiveness of lichens as reliable bioindicators for ecological monitoring in conservation areas.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Integrated Marine and Fisheries Center Development Program (Sentra Kelautan dan Perikanan Terpadu or SKPT) in Natuna Regency, focusing on its benefits for fishers and coastal communities. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, involving in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show diverse perspectives among stakeholders. Some fishers and cooperative managers perceive the SKPT as beneficial in expanding market access and maintaining product quality; however, limited capital, low post-harvest skills, and weak institutional readiness remain major challenges. Meanwhile, officials from the Department of Marine and Fisheries and SKPT managers emphasize the need to improve inter-institutional coordination and landing regulations to optimize the program's effectiveness. The study also reveals protests and resistance from coastal communities, particularly traditional fishers, who feel disadvantaged due to reduced fishing zones and unequal distribution of aid. Furthermore, academic assessments indicate that the program’s success remains partial, with significant physical achievements but limited impact on broad economic welfare improvements. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the success of the SKPT requires a participatory approach, strengthening of local capacity, and continuous evaluation based on comprehensive evaluation models such as CIPP. The implications of this study highlight the importance of aligning physical, social, and economic development to achieve the goals of independence and sustainable welfare for Natuna’s coastal communities.

Abstract

Wastewater treatment in the oil and gas industry plays an important role in meeting environmental quality standards and preventing pollution. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment at PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional RU III Palembang through a comparison of influent and effluent quality. The parameters analyzed include ammonia, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), sulfide, pH, and oil and fat. The study used a quantitative approach with paired comparative analysis based on 12 months of operational data. The normality test using Kolmogorov–Smirnov showed that some of the data showed a normal distribution so that hypothesis testing was continued using a paired t-test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed an effective reduction of 58.97% (ammonia), 28.34% (BOD), 37.51% (COD), and 56.81% (oil and fat), while sulfide was relatively low (22.02%) and pH tended to be stable (-0.81%). The results of the paired t-test showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between influent and effluent concentrations in the main parameters, indicating that the wastewater treatment system was working effectively. However, the suboptimal effectiveness of several parameters indicated the need for optimization of the treatment process.
