Abstract

Poor air quality is a major issue in the core city of the Jabodetabek urban agglomeration, Jakarta. Unfortunately, this problem is not limited to Jakarta. Other cities in Jabodetabek also face similar challenges, where they have experienced similar fluctuations in their annual average PM2.5 concentrations based on historical data. This indicates that the air quality problem is dependend on the region. The integration of systems and activities among these cities may explain this problem. This spatial dependency is dangerous and can lead to transboundary health effects. Therefore, this research aims to find evidence of this spatial dependency in Jabodetabek. The results show that PM2.5 concentration in Jabodetabek is spatially dependent and exhibits a clustered pattern. The highly concentrated core of the cluster is Depok, the connecting city between the buffer cities and the core city of Jabodetabek. Cities with high-point and mobile hotspot sources, such as South Jakarta, East Jakarta, Bogor, and Bogor City, surround Depok, leading to this concentration.

Abstract

To address environmental issues, Indonesia aims to achieve a 23% renewable energy share by 2025 and 31% by 2050, according to the National Energy Plan. This article examines the regulations governing the management of rooftop solar power plant (rooftop-PV) in Indonesia and their connection to pro-environment consumer behavior. Despite Indonesia’s ambitious targets for Renewable Energy (RE) growth, progress in the field still needs improvement. Pro-environmental behavior (PEB) within the community is crucial for adopting rooftop PV as a more environmentally friendly energy alternative. This research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology with content analysis to evaluate the current situation. The research findings indicate that rooftop PV offers economic benefits through cost savings for consumers and is supported by existing regulations. However, some businesses feel that the government needs to expedite revising relevant regulations to address investment stagnation and installed solar panel capacity. Concerns arise that proposed policy changes may hinder the growth of rooftop PV businesses and the achievement of national capacity targets. The role of pro-environment consumer behavior, which has the potential to drive rooftop PV adoption, will be influenced by psychological and social factors, as well as changes in applicable regulations.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore how building design requires consideration of both energy consumption and environmental impacts of the construction and maintenance processes. The increasing energy consumption and construction waste are concerning trends within the building industry. In response to this issues, the concept of circular economy has gained prominence, emphasizing the need to restore, rebuild, and regenerate resources in a sustainable manner. This research focused on Bio-Cooling Façades (BCF) in tropical climates through the assessment of four parameters including the biomaterial, cooling façade, energy consumption, and building circularity. This was conducted through a comparative analysis of existing and eight proposed BCF configurations designed to reduce energy consumption and increase building circularity. The results show that applying BCF at a glazing size of 40% reduces solar heat radiation, lowers building energy consumption, and minimizes potential construction material waste in countries with tropical climates. These findings assist architects and the industry in defining the optimal building façades for cooling, ultimately reducing energy consumption.

Abstract

Green mussel shells (GMSs) are a potential source of calcium oxide for the cement industry. As the largest producer of shells in Asia, Indonesia generates an annual production of 309,886 tons, with approximately 70% of this comprising shell waste. Addressing this issue is crucial to reducing environmental pollution and fistering innovation in eco-friendly cement production. This study aims to explores the extraction of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from GMSs through a 4-hour calcination process at temperatures of 700°C, 800°C, and 900°C. Analytical methods, including titrimetric analysis and X-ray fluorescence revealed that GMS flour contains 98.16% calcium oxide (CaO). X-ray diffraction analysis at 900°C identified CaCO3 phases consistent with ICDD data No. 01-070-9854, with diffraction peaks observed at 2θ values of 29.4°, 32.21°, and 37.37° (100%). Compressive strength tests further demonstrated that incorporating 10% GMS-derived material into cement increases its compressive strength by 2.3%. These findings highlight the potential of GMSs as an alternative raw material for the cement industry. Maximizing shell waste utilization not only mitigates environmental impact but also supports more sustainable and environmentally friendly cement production. This approach represents a significant advancement in waste management innovation and the development of green solutions in the construction sector.

Abstract

Human beings identify security based on their life experiences and their ability to calculate risk, determining the degree to  which risk is acceptable or unacceptable. Living years in a risk-prone area bears the sensitivity that enables adaptation to temporary risks, such as volcanic eruptions. Mount Merapi, located on Java Island, is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. In the prone area, the perception of risk has been invented by a legal body, such as the government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), through hazard mitigation strategies that dominate the discourse. At the same time, the voices of local people are less prominent. Local communities tend to perceive the dichotomy concept of hope and despair in a contextual manner, which influences their sens of uncertainty. The article explores how security and danger are contextualized under specific times and conditions. The empirical study aims to understand the varying perceptions by focusing on translating the term “human security” into the local language. The concept of human security, introduced as an international framework, was introduced using a top-down approach, adopted by the government, and applied at the local level. Thus, managing their own risk, will enhance local security and become active agents in defining risk and formulating their coping strategies.
