Abstract

Meeting the national sanitation target is a significant challenge for Lamongan Regency. This research aims to formulate strategies to accelerate the improvement in sanitation access in order to exceed national targets. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing data from the Environmental Health Risk Assessment and the Master Plan for Wastewater Management Systems (RISPAL), as well as the results of Focus Group Discussions. A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis was used for strategy formulation. Meanwhile, the method of overlaying thematic maps of sanitation risk, extreme poverty, and stunting was used to determine priority intervention locations. The research identified several key multidimensional barriers including social factors, such as low public awareness regarding the importance of regular septic tank pumping; financial constraints, due to the perceived high cost of pumping service and limited operational budget; infrastructure gaps including inadequate fleet logistics and limited service coverage of fecal sludge treatment plants (FSTP); and policy constraints, such as the absence of supporting regulations concerning service fees. The findings recommend an aggressive strategy translated into short, medium, and long-term action plans, focusing on the phased construction of seven new FSTPs, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and raising public awareness in priority areas to achieve sanitation targets and sustainably.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the laundry industry in Indonesia has led to a significant increase in the use of synthetic detergents, consequently resulting in the discharge of untreated wastewater into aquatic environments. Detergents, while effective in cleaning, pose ecological risks by inhibiting oxygen transfer and disrupting respiratory systems in aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sequential wastewater treatment processes involving filtration and/or phytoremediation using Chlorophytum comosum (spider plant) in reducing key pollutants, namely surfactants, phosphate, and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Environmental parameters such as pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were also monitored. Five treatment setups were designed with triplicate reactors for each: (I) control (untreated), (II) filtration only, (III) phytoremediation only, (IV) filtration followed by phytoremediation, and (V) phytoremediation followed by filtration. Pollutant concentrations were measured before treatment and after 14 days of intervention. The results indicated that the treatment sequence significantly influenced pollutant reduction. The most effective configuration (Treatment V) involved phytoremediation followed by filtration, achieving reductions in phosphate (0.04 mg/L; 62.58% removal), surfactants (0.34 mg/L; 98.12% removal), and COD (16.66 mg/L; 95.10% removal). The treatment also enhanced water quality parameters, with final measurements of pH 7.9, temperature 26.3 °C, and DO 5.7 mg/L. The novelty of this study lies in the evaluation of the treatment sequence combining phytoremediation and filtration, revealing that initiating the process with Chlorophytum comosum–based phytoremediation followed by filtration achieved the highest pollutant removal efficiency. This configuration introduces a low-cost, nature-based, and scalable solution for sustainable laundry wastewater management. This integrated phytoremediation–filtration system can significantly reduce nutrient and surfactant loads, thereby preventing eutrophication and enhancing the ecological quality of urban aquatic environments.

Abstract

The transportation sector is a major contributor to carbon emissions, yet the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Indonesia remains limited. This study aims to examine the determinants of EV purchase intention by integrating the theory of planned behavior (TPB), Norm Activation Model (NAM), and Theory of Consumption Value (TCV), providing a more comprehensive understanding of both rational and moral drivers of consumer behavior. A quantitative approach was employed using an online survey, with 509 valid responses analyzed through Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that conditional value, monetary value, perceived behavioral control, and personal norm significantly influence EV purchase intention, with conditional value emerging as the strongest predictor. These findings highlight the importance of situational benefits and cost considerations, alongside moral responsibility, in shaping consumer intentions toward EV adoption. This study contributes to the literature by offering an integrated framework that combines economic, behavioral, and normative perspectives, while also providing practical insights for policymakers and marketers to design more effective strategies to accelerate EV adoption in emerging markets.

Abstract

This study develops and validates a strategic management model for experiential educational tourism aimed at fostering Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) among youth. Addressing a critical research gap, this research provides an empirically tested framework linking field-based interventions to measurable behavioral outcomes. Rooted in Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory (ELT), the quantitative study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using data collection from 30 high school students (n = 30) participating in a River Cleanup program, an educational tourism activity integrating storytelling and environmental restoration work. Survey instruments assessed constructs including awareness, knowledge, motivation, participation, and behavior. The results confirmed the reliability of the proposed framework, explaining 69.5% of the PEB variance  (R2 = 0.695). Crucially, motivation to preserve nature (β = 0.471; p = 0.010) and environmental knowledge (β = 0.312; p=0.024) emerged as the strongest and most significant predictors. The large effect size of motivation (f2 = 0.308) underscores the importance of affective and normative components, aligning with Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) Theory, over mere physical participation. Although limited by the small sample size, this research demonstrates that strategically managed experiential intervention can significantly influence youth environmental behavior. This paper contributes to the literature by bridging tourism, environmental education, and management science, while offering a validated model for designing scalable sustainability programs.

Abstract

Srengseng City Forest in Jakarta has strong potential as an urban ecotourism. However, it faces several challenges, such as limited green infrastructure, insufficient educational facilities, low economic contribution, and inadequate institutional coordination. This study aims to evaluate its development potential and formulate a revitalization strategy based on ecotourism principles within an integrated landscape management (ILM) framework. Conducted from November 2024 to July 2025, the research applied a mixed-method approach combining quantitative descriptive analysis and qualitative inquiry. Data were collected through field observations, document review, Likert-scale questionnaires, and stakeholder discussions, involving 30 purposively selected respondents, including managers, residents, visitors, and experts. The assessment applied 30 indicators across six dimensions: environmental, infrastructure, community, economic, educational, and policy/institutional aspects. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean score classification, while qualitative data were examined thematically. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a multi-parameter evaluation framework incorporating urban ecotourism indicators adapted to local characteristics and integrated within the ILM concept. The results indicate very high ecological potential, especially in terms of biodiversity, but also highlight weaknesses in infrastructure, education, and economic aspects. Although policy support is relatively strong, implementation and stakeholder collaboration remain limited. Recommended strategies include improving eco-friendly facilities, strengthening conservation education, supporting local micro-enterprises, and establishing an ILM-based collaborative management forum.

Abstract

The use of graphics in sustainability reports can serve as a means of impression management, raising concerns regarding the credibility of the information presented. This study aims to investigate impression management strategies in sustainability reports by comparing the use of graphics across different reporting periods. A visual content analysis was conducted to identify the characteristics of the graphics based on specific categories. The findings indicate that companies tend to use graphics to highlight positive performance by amplifying certain achievements and minimizing the exposure of less favorable results in order to build a favorable reputation. Moreover, differences were found in the use of graphics between reporting periods, reflecting a shift in the approach to presenting sustainability data. These findings underscore the importance of presenting graphics objectively and transparently to maintain reporting credibility and to raise stakeholders’ awareness of potential visual manipulation.
