Abstract

Increased development of tourism-related infrastructure to meet the needs of tourists visiting tourist destinations causes greater environmental problems such as greenhouse gas emissions, higher amount of waste, liquid waste as well as sanitation and aesthetics issues. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the environmental aspects of tourism activities using environmental performance indicators. The basic idea of the environmental performance evaluation framework is to identify and assess to facilitate continuous improvement and prevent further environmental degradation. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can apply to find tourism activities that have negatively impacted environmental sustainability. Determination of environmental impacts using LCA is a method that can thoroughly identify the stages in tourism activities that can generate environmental impacts. LCA can find the amount of carbon footprint generated by tourism activities, the sector that has the most impact on the environment and the best alternative to realize sustainable tourism.

Abstract

In recent years, fabric waste has become an important sustainability issue that raises concerns and attracts attention from stakeholders in the fashion industries and the media. Over the past 15 years, the production and consumption of clothing have increased substantially, driven by the rise of demand for fashionable style and the proliferation of fast fashion. This study explores the fabric waste generated by the garment operators within the Kumasi metropolis. A qualitative research design, guided by a phenomenological approach was employed. Data were collected from six zones using purposive sampling technique to select respondents. Interviews and observations served as the primary data collection methods, and data were analysed thematically using NVIVO software. The findings reveal that the use of single-ply and bulk-ply cutting techniques in garments construction led to the generation of tons of fabric waste, particularly among small-scale garment producers. It is recommended that garment operators adopt effective strategies for reusing and responsibly disposing of fabric waste. Furthermore, the use of biodegradable fabrics is encouraged, as they have a lower environmental impact.

Abstract

Forest resources in Ethiopia are facing intensive degradation and deforestation due to agricultural land expansion, overgrazing, urbanization, invasive species, and climate change. Due to this, small isolated forest patches are left in different parts of the country through legal protections and religious sanctions. The study aimed to examine the country's highest woody species diversity among church, community, and national park forests. The remnant forest patches in Ethiopia were categorized into church, community, and national park forests based on ownership and management objectives of the forest. The diversity data were collected from a detailed review of published and unpublished scientific reports. The variation in species richness, evenness, and Shannon diversity among forest categories were analyzed and tested using ANOVA. The mean Shannon diversity of church, community, and national park forests were 2.95, 2.88, and 3.13, respectively. These forest categories have a considerable role in species diversity in the country. However, the variation was statistically insignificant at a 95% confidence interval. Hence, each forest category plays a comparable role in woody species diversity in the country.

Abstract

Environment and economy are frequently seen as opposing forces. For every government initiative to boost the economy, there is an equal and opposite measure to protect the environment. The overarching goal of this research is to provide empirical evidence of how green finance and fintech sway policymakers to reduce the economic-environmental trade-off. Secondary data from 2000–2023, together with a sample of ASEAN-5 nations, are used in this analysis. To determine the impact of the study's independent variables on environmental damage, quantitative approaches, particularly CS-ARDL, are employed. The study's findings suggest that the five ASEAN nations may lessen their environmental impact by utilizing green finance and fintech. The government, with the exception of Singapore, needs to move swiftly, since the expected decline is too sluggish. Among the ASEAN-5 nations, Singapore has the potential to do more to protect the environment than its peers.

Abstract

This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of climate village programs, with particular attention to institutional support, community participation, and sustainability practices. Guided by the PRISMA protocol, 42 eligible articles were analyzed to map the geographical scope, journal quality, theoretical frameworks, governance arrangements, and the role of local resources. The review reveals significant heterogeneity across contexts: African studies emphasize renewable energy, Bangladesh highlights adaptation politics, Indonesia adopts a multi-sectoral approach, while small island states prioritize coastal conservation. Most studies employ qualitative and participatory methods, drawing on resilience theory, socio-ecological systems, participatory governance, and energy transition perspectives. Institutional support is found to operate through multi-level governance involving government, NGOs, communities, and private actors. However, power asymmetries often constrain long-term sustainability. Local resources and indigenous knowledge emerge as critical for resilience but require supportive legal and institutional frameworks to avoid elite capture and ensure genuine empowerment. Theoretically, this review advances the concept of Climate Villages as socio-ecological laboratories linking global climate agendas with local action. Practically, it identifies the need for contextualized interventions, stronger governance coordination, and knowledge co-production. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers seeking to strengthen the design, implementation, and sustainability of Climate Village initiatives.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in the understanding of Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS) within landlocked, resource-constrained contexts by focusing on Chikwawa District, Malawi. The study moved beyond descriptive accounts to provide a nuanced analysis grounding the inquiry into disaster risk reduction theory to assess both the operational and community-level effectiveness of current systems. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research combines quantitative data from 204 household surveys with qualitative insights from four key informant interviews to triangulate the assessment of flood preparedness, warning dissemination, and community response capabilities. The findings reveal that, while national agencies have established relatively robust monitoring frameworks, significant challenges persist in the final-mile communication loop, resulting in a notable disparity between warning issuance and effective community action. Specifically, issues such as a lack of trust in official messages, inconsistent communication channels, and the absence of well-defined evacuation routes critically hinder the system's overall efficacy. By integrating geographical analysis with on-the-ground perspectives, this paper provides a more complete picture of the obstacles to effective FEWS. The study's key policy implications include the need for more localised and tailored communication strategies, community-based drills to foster trust, and targeted infrastructure investments to enhance last-mile delivery and response capabilities. This work contributes to academic literature by offering a theoretically grounded case study from a landlocked perspective, enriching the global discourse on flood resilience.

Abstract

Urban air pollution from traffic emissions poses a significant risk to students residing in student communal housing (SCH) near major roadways. This study investigates the impact of peak hour traffic on ambient air quality around SCH in Malang City, focusing on carbon dioxide (CO₂), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Measurements were taken at 40 SCH locations during both daytime and nighttime peak hours. The study employed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial modelling to visualise pollutant distribution and used linear regression to develop a distance recommendation model. The results revealed a strong correlation between CO₂ and TVOC concentrations and traffic volume, whereas PM2.5 levels were more influenced by atmospheric conditions. The air quality index (AQI) classification indicated a shift toward "moderate" pollution levels during the night, particularly in dense urban areas. Indicative empirical regression modelling suggested setback distances of approximately 280 m for PM2.5 and 1,500 m for CO₂. In comparison, an anomalous result of 9,000 m for TVOC highlights significant modelling uncertainty, likely caused by confounding non-traffic sources. Despite its limitations and the need for further validation, this study contributes valuable, policy-relevant insights for urban planning, especially concerning SCH or resident zoning. The findings underscore the necessity of considering both emission intensity and microclimatic factors in residential planning near major roads.

Abstract

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in land degradation, as well as loss of vegetative cover and biodiversity. This study assessed the land cover (LC) changes in Northern Ghana from 2002 to 2022 to highlight how laterite soil mining has altered the Guinea Savannah Landscape. Landsat images for three selected years (2002, 2012, and 2022) were analysed using SEPAL, ArcGIS, and QGIS. The images were classified into eight LC classes: woodland, shrub/grassland, cropland, bare land, built-up, laterite (gravel) pit, floodplain, and water bodies. It was found that borrow pits increased by 16.61 km2 over the two decades. Croplands and Shrub/grasslands were identified as the most affected classes, with direct LC losses of 11.38 km2 and 7.16 km2, respectively. Additional indirect losses were attributed to agricultural expansion due to the reduction in cropland areas. It is concluded that laterite soil mining, driven by urbanisation, has a dire impact on vegetation cover and local livelihoods due to unsustainable mining practices. It is recommended that development control managers utilise the findings of this study to devise strategies for managing laterite soil mining and promoting sustainable mining practices to meet the targets of SGD 15.

Abstract

Mining activities in the Kenyan Marble Quarries (KMQ) are a potential source of atmospheric pollution, raising health concerns for the local population. This study aims to examine the extent to which marble mining contributes to atmospheric trace gas concentrations, using remote sensing and GIS-based machine learning techniques to map and analyse gaseous compositions. The investigation covers KMQ and Kajiado town, spanning 342 km2, and examines changes in patterns of land use and land cover (LULC), climate variables, and gaseous pollutants over five years (2019–2024). Sentinel-5P data for SO2, NO2, CO, O3, and CH4 were processed using Google Earth Engine, and LULC changes were detected through Supervised Vector Machine classification. Climate data were obtained from NASA Power. The results indicate that mining and agriculture are the dominant land uses, and that atmospheric gases are relatively uniformly distributed across the area. Strong climatic influences were observed: humidity, wind, precipitation, and solar radiation show varying correlations with trace gas concentrations, which are consistently higher during the dry season. Overall, the findings suggest that marble mining contributes minimally to the levels of the analysed gases, with vegetation clearing and agricultural activities also serving as significant drivers of gaseous variation across the region.

Abstract

Caesalpinia decapetala has been ranked as a high-impact invasive alien plant species in Ethiopia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of Caesalpinia decapetala on species diversity and the composition of invaded plant communities in the study area. Accordingly, quadrats were systematically laid along the transect line in both invaded and non-invaded study areas. A total of 78 (10 m x 10 m) quadrats were sampled, comprising 39 quadrats each from invaded and non-invaded areas, to examine the effect of Caesalpinia decapetala on species diversity and composition. The results indicated that species richness declined from 59 to 38 species (−35.59%), Shannon diversity index H′ decreased from 3.20 to 1.10 (−65.63%), Simpson’s 1−D decreased from 0.82 to 0.29 (−64.63%), and evenness declined from 0.76 to 0.37 (−51.32%) in invaded areas compared to non-invaded areas. A Generalized Linear Model (GLM) fitted with a Poisson distribution revealed a significant negative relationship between Caesalpinia decapetala cover and species richness (β = −0.03, p < 0.001), suggesting that increasing invasion levels are associated with exponential declines in plant biodiversity. Hence, Caesalpinia decapetala is one of the factors affecting the biodiversity in the study areas. Immediate integrated management interventions are therefore warranted to curb biodiversity loss.
