Abstract

The increased number of tourists in Batu City has resulted in traffic congestion, which led to the increase of emission contributing to GHGs effect and caused global warming. According to Presidential Regulation Number 71 of 2011, each region is required to conduct a national inventory of GHGs emission, in order to determine the appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies in reducing the GHG emission. This research aimed to reduce the GHGs emission and to determine the appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies in Batu City especially in the transportation sector. IPCC Guidelines 2006 was used as the method to calculate GHGs emissions. Such method allowed the researchers to determine the emission level by using secondary data obtained from the relevant institution. Determination upon adaptation and mitigation strategies was on the basis of several scenarios of emission level reduction while the prioritized strategy selection was based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. This research revealed that the GHGs emission with business as usual scenario in 2030 contributed by transportation reached 2,072.64 Gg of CO2 while the greatest reduction of GHG emissions amounted to -6.13% taken from the scenario of Intelligent Transport System application. More importantly, the researchers figured out that the prioritized adaptation strategies should be the improvement of Urban Open Space and public transportation rejuvenation for the mitigation.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) is one of the major by-products of palm oil production. This lignocellulosic biomass is commonly used as a fertilizer at oil palm plantations. Unfortunately, the composting process of EFB is very slow. This study aimed to identify potential lignocellulosic microbes isolated from EFB. This information is essential for improving EFB biodegradation process by reducing the decomposition time. Samples of approximately 6, 12, and 24-month-old EFB were obtained from two palm oil mills in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The isolation of lignocellulytic microbes utilized selective medium cellulose congo red agar (CCRA) while its characterization used lignin agar (LgA) and oil palm empty fruit bunches agar (EFBCRA). As much as 430 isolates were successfully collected and 12 of them exhibited promising capability to synthesize lignocellulolytic enzyme, the key for FEB degradation.

Abstract

Biodiversity loss is a global issue and is especially of pressing concern in mega diverse countries, such as Indonesia. To prevent any further catastrophe, the Ministry of Forestry and Environment of Republic of Indonesia has been promoting the resort based management to be implemented in Indonesia to maximize the performance of conservation activity. The lack of data standardization made it hard to organize and manage archipelagic country that consist 17,504 islands with no technology provision in most of them. In this paper we develop a framework of integration mobile-web technology for biodiversity and conservation in Indonesia. We introduced a new framework to maintain the biodiversity and conservation data in Indonesia.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of ACERALIVEN™, a commercial tourmaline, and to evaluate its effects on plant growth. Our analysis indicates that ACERALIVEN™ belongs to the Si-Al-Mg tourmaline structure and contains trace metals such as zirconium, potassium, and iron. It is capable of emitting far-infrared energy with an emissivity of 0.829. When introduced into water, tourmaline increases the water's alkalinity. Additionally, it releases negative hydroxyl ions and dissolved oxygen, creating what is known as hydrogen water. Mung beans submerged in ACERALIVEN™-treated water exhibit a longer lifespan compared to those in untreated water. Furthermore, tourmaline can enhance plant growth by removing chlorine and emitting far-infrared radiation, which is beneficial for plant metabolism.

Abstract

The Kamoning River watershed is one of the watersheds in Sampang. Sampang City experiences flooding almost every year due to the overflow of the Kamoning River. One of the main causes of flooding in the city is high rainfall and a lack of rainwater catchment areas in the upper and middle sections of the Kamoning River watershed. To address these issues, a flood discharge reduction system using eco-drainage methods is necessary in the upstream and middle areas of the watershed.This study explored two eco-drainage system scenarios. The first scenario involves land-use changes combined with the creation of retention ponds, while the second scenario combines land-use changes with the construction of infiltration wells. Based on the analysis, the designed flood discharge for a 50-year return period in the Kamoning River basin is 289.361 m3/s. Using the first scenario, the designed flood discharge can be reduced by 199.59 m3/s (31.02%). Meanwhile, the second scenario reduces the discharge by 205.20 m3/s (29.08%).Efforts to reduce flood discharge in Sampang can be most effectively implemented using the first scenario.

Abstract

Karangpilang II Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is part of the Karangpilang WTP of Surabaya Water Utilities, serving the water supply needs of Surabaya City. Karangpilang II WTP has the largest clean water production capacity within the Karangpilang WTP, reaching 2,500 L/s. Using conventional treatment to remove turbidity, the treatment process in Karangpilang II WTP consists of pre-sedimentation, clearator, and filter units.This study evaluated turbidity levels in production water and the efficiency of turbidity removal to assess the performance of Karangpilang II WTP in turbidity treatment. The evaluation was conducted using 2016 data by comparing the turbidity of production water with the Water Quality Standards of the Water Utilities, as well as by analyzing the turbidity of raw water, the effluents of each treatment unit, and the final production water.The evaluation results indicated that, in some instances, the turbidity in production water did not meet the required quality standards. Additionally, it was found that one unit within Karangpilang II WTP, namely the pre-sedimentation unit, exhibited inadequate performance in turbidity removal.Several solutions are proposed to address the turbidity removal issue at Karangpilang II WTP: increasing the maintenance schedule for the pre-sedimentation unit, determining the appropriate turbidity reference for coagulant dosing, optimizing the coagulant dose, utilizing sludge from water treatment as a coagulant aid alongside Al2(SO4)3, and using capping material in the filter unit.

Abstract

One of the environmental issues that can affect human health is air pollution. As the second largest city in Indonesia, economic development and infrastructure construction in the city of Surabaya led to the increasing role of industrial and motor vehicle use which is proportional to the increase in fuel oil consumption. This condition ultimately led to declining air quality. Gas pollutants that contribute to air pollution such as CO, SO2, O3, NO2 and particulate matter PM10 are pollutants that have a direct impact on health. This study aims to analyze, monitor and predict air pollutant concentrations recorded by the Environment Agency Surabaya City based on time series with Fuzzy Time Series.MAPE calculation results on the parameters of pollutants are NO2: 23.6%, CO: 19.5%, O3: 22.75%, PM10: 9.96% and SO2: 3.6%.

Abstract

The whole planning of urban infrastructure development should refer to the Detailed Spatial Planning that has been developed by the Regional Government. One of them is the drainage system planning which also needs to pay attention to the land use change plan. This change would cause an increase of run-off coefficient as a result of the increasing number of structure-covered land. Based on the land use planning of Spatial Structure Planning 2034, there was an increase in land cover with a total area of 75 hectares. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the urban drainage system in order to avoid problems in the future. Flood discharge was calculated using the rational formula applying run-off coefficient according to spatial structure plan. The analysis of the existing drainage system was carried out to find out whether it is still capable of accommodating the discharge according to Spatial Structure Planning 2034. Based on the drainage channel capacity analysis, 30 existing channels have to be repaired. They must be adjusted by widening the channel and increase the number of channels by 3191.36 m. Another effort to reduce the flood is by making 179 absorption wells in residential areas.
