Abstract

Makassar City, the fourth largest city in Indonesia and the main hub in Eastern Indonesia, covering an area of 175.8 km², has undergone significant changes due to the rapid rate of land conversion. This process has led to a decline in densely vegetated areas, which has impacted the rise in air temperature in built-up areas. This study aims to analyze the impact of built-up areas on the increase in air temperature in Makassar City. The data used were derived from MODIS imagery to measure air temperature changes, and analyzed using spatial analysis methods based on a spatial approach utilizing geographical data related to location. The results of the study indicate that air temperature levels in Makassar City in 2023 tended to be very high, although some areas were classified as having high and low-temperature levels. Based on these findings, strategic measures are recommended to control the rate of surface temperature increase, particularly through the development of green areas and the protection of water bodies as part of urban planning efforts.

Abstract

Panciro Village faces significant problems related to the accumulation of plastic waste that is carelessly dumped in rivers, roadsides, and empty land. This study explores the application of the ecobrick method as an alternative solution to plastic waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of the Panciro Village community regarding waste management with the ecobrick method, evaluate the effectiveness of ecobricks in reducing plastic waste and analyze the challenges and opportunities for implementing ecobricks as an environmentally friendly solution in Panciro Village. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation. The results, the population density of Panciro Village contributed to the increase in waste volume. The positive perception of the community towards ecobricks as a better solution than burning or littering, the effectiveness of ecobricks is considered moderate to significant depending on the level of community participation. The main challenges in implementing ecobricks include the process of shredding waste and the lack of public awareness. Ecobricks have economic value if managed properly. This study recommends technological innovations and more efficient methods to facilitate the process of making ecobricks.
