Abstract

This research examines ecoliteracy-based learning practices that integrate health education and character building in Early Childhood Education settings using a qualitative multiple case study approach. The research uses a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design conducted in three Early Childhood Education institutions in the city of Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, as well as document studies, and then analyzed using thematic analysis assisted by NVivo. Research results indicate that ecoliteracy implementation in Early Childhood Education is manifested through three principal patterns: routine-based habituation, narrative-reflective learning and participatory experiential activities. Collectively, these three approaches demonstrate how ecological awareness, clean and healthy lifestyle practices, and holistic character development are meaningfully integrated in children’s daily learning experiences. In addition to increasing environmental awareness, ecoliteracy-based learning also contributes to strengthening values of responsibility, discipline, empathy, and cooperation in young children. The findings position ecoliteracy as an integrative pedagogical approach relevant to sustainability, health, and character education, with implications for educators and policymakers in developing sustainability-oriented early childhood learning.

Abstract

This research examines the implementation of environmental accounting in medical waste management at a non-inpatient primary healthcare facility, namely the Pangkalbalam Community Health Center in Pangkalpinang City, Indonesia. Despite increasing regulatory pressure on healthcare institutions to manage environmental impacts, the integration between waste management practices and accounting systems remains underexplored, particularly at the primary care level. This research aims to analyze how environmental costs are identified, recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed within the context of medical waste management. A qualitative approach was employed, combining direct observation, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with key informants, including sanitation staff and financial officers. The findings reveal that while operational waste management practices are generally implemented in compliance with regulatory requirements, environmental accounting remains partial, fragmented, and predominantly administrative. Environmental costs are recognized and measured but not systematically classified or disclosed as distinct accounts, resulting in limited cost visibility and weak support for decision-making. Furthermore, the cost structure is predominantly reactive, characterized by internal failure costs, with minimal integration of prevention and detection mechanisms. This research demonstrates that environmental accounting practices in non-inpatient primary healthcare facilities are not merely underdeveloped but structurally distinct, shaped by limited institutional capacity and relatively low external pressures. Consequently, accounting practices remain cash-based, administrative, and weakly integrated into strategic management. These findings highlight the need for more integrated, transparent, and proactive environmental accounting frameworks to support sustainability in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Since the escalation of large-scale conflict in October 2023, severe destruction of civilian infrastructure has occurred in the Gaza Strip, including the collapse of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) systems. This breakdown has rapidly triggered a public health emergency with short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Short-term impacts included marked increases in infectious diseases such as diarrhea and hepatitis A, acute malnutrition, and elevated risks to maternal and child health. Medium-term impacts involved ecological degradation through groundwater contamination and sanitation system failure, which in turn contributed to rising clean-water prices and widening socio-economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting women and children. Long-term impacts generated intergenerational risks, including the potential emergence of a “lost generation” due to stunting and increased global health security concerns associated with transboundary disease spread. Comparative evidence from Yemen, Syria, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Indonesia (Aceh and Papua) indicates similar epidemiological patterns, in which WASH destruction is associated with cyclical epidemics, malnutrition, and deepening structural vulnerability. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a review of academic literature, international organizational reports, policy documents, and credible media sources, this study systematically examines the implications of WASH system collapse for public health in Gaza during the ongoing genocide. The analysis develops a conceptual framework that positions the WASH crisis not only as a humanitarian concern but also as a public health emergency with regional and global ramifications. On this basis, the study concludes that effective WASH reconstruction should be prioritized as a humanitarian and global health security strategy and integrated with nutrition, maternal–child health, and social protection programs. The findings also underscore the need for comprehensive international policy responses and reinforce arguments for recognizing the protection of WASH infrastructure as a fundamental human right in armed conflict.
