Abstract

The building industry significantly impacts environmental degradation due to its reliance on conventional materials such as cement and concrete, which are associated with high carbon emissions and substantial energy consumption. This study explores the socio-economic impacts of substituting fly ash and agricultural waste for traditional construction materials. A comprehensive review of 50 peer-reviewed papers, industry reports, and online sources reveals that these alternative materials offer considerable benefits. Cost savings average between 15% and 20%, driven by reduced material costs and lower disposal requirements. Environmentally, using fly ash and agricultural waste significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, with fly ash cutting emissions by approximately 25% and agricultural waste by about 20%, primarily due to decreased energy consumption. Furthermore, technical assessments show that these materials enhance the strength and durability of concrete, meeting or exceeding conventional standards. The study also highlights broader socio-economic advantages, including support for rural economies through new markets for agricultural by-products and job creation in recycling and construction sectors. These findings suggest integrating fly ash and agricultural waste into construction practices can positively impact economic growth and environmental sustainability. However, the study acknowledges limitations such as reliance on secondary data and potential geographic biases. Future research should prioritize original data collection, long-term performance assessments, and investigation of regional material-use variations. This study underscores the practical and environmental benefits of incorporating these sustainable materials, contributing to a more eco-friendly construction industry.

Abstract

Pemerintah Indonesia perlu mendorong penggunaan teknologi environmental DNA (eDNA) sebagai metode utama dalam pemantauan biodiversitas di Kawasan Konservasi Laut (KKL) guna mengatasi tantangan logistik di wilayah yang luas dan beragam. Diperlukan investasi dalam pengembangan database eDNA nasional yang mencakup sekuens referensi spesies laut Indonesia dan pelatihan serta sertifikasi bagi para pemantau eDNA untuk memastikan kualitas data yang konsisten. Monitoring dengan eDNA dapat dilakukan secara rutin dan berkelanjutan di seluruh KKL untuk mengumpulkan data yang akurat dan mendukung pengamatan tren jangka panjang dalam keanekaragaman hayati laut. Selain itu, dukungan untuk penelitian lanjutan dalam identifikasi spesies baru dan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang ekologi laut Indonesia melalui teknologi eDNA juga perlu diberikan. Dengan mengimplementasikan rekomendasi ini, Indonesia dapat memperkuat upaya pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati lautnya secara efektif dan efisien, menjaga keberlanjutan ekosistem laut yang kaya dan unik di negara ini.
