Abstract

Logging activities in Industrial Plantation Forests (HTI) still rely on chainsaws as semi-mechanical tools, combined with mechanical equipment such as harvesters. The use of chainsaws provides efficiency in the production process but also poses high risks to occupational safety and health (OSH) for chainsaw operators. This condition requires a comprehensive risk analysis to protect chainsaw operators from work hazards that may lead to fatal incidents. This study aims to analyze the level of OSH risk among chainsaw operators during logging activities at PT. XY, Riau Province. The method employed is HIRACH (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Control of Hazards), using a field observation approach, in-depth interviews, questionnaire distribution to ten chainsaw operators, and triangulation with secondary data to strengthen result validity. The results show that 23 types of hazards and 28 risks were identified, originating from environmental, mechanical, biological, and chemical factors. Most risks fall into the moderate category (79%), such as risks from steep terrain, extreme weather, and the presence of wild animals. Meanwhile, 21% of the risks are categorized as high, particularly those related to chainsaw operation, including chain breakage, kickback, excessive vibration, and noise levels exceeding safe limits. The study concludes that risk control must follow the hierarchy of control, including elimination, substitution, engineering control, administrative control, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The implementation of a comprehensive OSH management system, supported by continuous training and intensive supervision, is essential to reduce the potential for accidents and occupational diseases, while also supporting productivity and the sustainability of forest harvesting activities.

Abstract

Land use changes in the Malili Sub-Watershed, East Luwu Regency, continue to increase due to the pressure of human activities, especially nickel mining, which has the potential to affect vegetation cover and hydrological function. Although studies of land use change have been widely conducted in various watersheds in Indonesia, long-term research integrating the analysis of land use change and vegetation dynamics at the sub-watershed scale is still limited. This study aims to analyze land use changes and vegetation density levels in the Malili Sub-Watershed in 2015 and 2024 using Sentinel-2 imagery through the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) approach and guided classification Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC). The results showed a decrease in the area of primary dryland forest from 268.81 ha to 111.74 ha. On the other hand, secondary dryland forests increased by 128.07 ha and shrubs increased by 69.17 ha. The NDVI value in 2015 ranged from −0.18 to 0.65 and increased in 2024 to −0.09 to 0.67, indicating the predominance of medium to high density vegetation. The accuracy test resulted in an Overall Accuracy of 90%, so the classification map was considered feasible. The uniqueness of this research lies in the integration of NDVI and transition matrix in uncovering the dynamics of degradation and vegetation regeneration in mining areas.

Abstract

Environmental carrying capacity and environmental load capacity (D3TLH) are important instruments in spatial planning mandated by Law No. 32 of 2009 and Law No. 26 of 2007. This study aims to analyze the environmental carrying and loading capacity based on water provisioning ecosystem services in Ternate City. Although ecosystem services-based approaches have been widely implemented across various Indonesian regions, research specifically addressing Ternate City as a volcanic island area with distinctive geographical characteristics remains considerably limited. Furthermore, water carrying capacity data for Ternate City are insufficient, and comprehensive spatial mapping illustrating the distribution of water provisioning ecosystem service potential has yet to be developed. The method used is a supply-demand comparison approach using a 1" x 1" grid system (±30 m²) with the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to calculate environmental service indices based on landform, vegetation, and land cover parameters. The results show that water provisioning environmental services in Ternate City are dominated by low potential class (very low-low) covering 71.06%, medium potential class 27.52%, and high potential class (high-very high) only 1.42% of the total area. Batang Dua and West Ternate sub-districts have the highest potential with high class percentages of 0.50% and 0.18%, respectively. Land covers contributing the most are Dry Land Forest (0.96%) and Lake (0.28%). The analysis shows that the environmental carrying capacity for water provision in Ternate City is classified as low, influenced by rainfall, groundwater storage capacity, and land use activities. Protection efforts for water provider base areas are needed for sustainable water availability in the future.

Abstract

This study analyzed the trade-offs and synergies between economic productivity and biodiversity conservation across different land-use systems in Sulawesi, Indonesia. NMDS analysis revealed significant differentiation in species composition across systems (PERMANOVA, F=12.34, p<0.001). Natural forests were characterized by a high proportion of endemic species such as Agathis robusta, Molonggoile spp., and Biamenga spp., while agroforestry systems were dominated by economically valuable species such as Aleurites moluccanus (candlenut), Arenga pinnata (sugar palm), and Durio zibethinus (durian). Economic valuation revealed substantial differences in value per hectare: candlenut agroforestry (USD 2,115), sugar palm agroforestry (USD 1,785), durian agroforestry (USD 1,627), plantation forests (USD 895), and natural forests (USD 327). The analysis revealed a negative correlation between species richness and economic value (r=-0.87, p<0.05), but a positive correlation between tree density and economic value (r=0.79, p<0.05). Redundancy analysis identified basal area and tree density as the most influential vegetation structure parameters on species composition patterns (R²=0.68, p<0.001). The agroforestry system maintained basal area through higher densities of smaller trees, suggesting a structural compensation mechanism. These findings demonstrate that management intensification for economic species reduces species richness while maintaining structural parameters that support ecological functions. Structural compensation mechanisms in agroforestry provide an effective strategy for maintaining biodiversity in tropical landscapes under deforestation pressure, while highlighting the potential of an integrated approach to balancing conservation and sustainable development in the Wallacea hotspot.

Abstract

Green open space (RTH) plays an essential role in climate change mitigation through its capacity to absorb and store carbon. Palopo City, which has experienced rapid urban growth, requires scientific data on carbon storage potential in its green open spaces. This study aimed to analyze carbon storage potential and the economic value of carbon in RTH vegetation in Palopo City. The research was conducted in selected RTH areas across nine districts using a non-destructive sampling method and allometric equations. Vegetation biomass was estimated from tree diameter measurements and converted into carbon storage and CO₂ absorption. Carbon economic value was calculated using carbon pricing estimates of USD 5–10 per ton. The results showed that total carbon storage in Palopo City’s RTH reached 9,094.93 tons/ha, with the highest value found in the Salubulo Islamic Cemetery RTH, North Wara District. This location also exhibited the highest carbon economic value. These findings highlight the strategic role of urban green open spaces in climate change mitigation and sustainable urban development).

Abstract

Coffee is one of the leading commodities in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi Province. Increasing coffee harvests have an impact on the amount of coffee husk waste produced. Coffee husk waste is usually only used as animal feed, fertilizer, and sometimes directly discarded, which has the potential to cause environmental pollution. This study aims to utilize coffee husk waste into products that have economic value by diversifying the processing, namely cascara tea with the addition of sappanwood extract. Cascara tea is a beverage product made from coffee husks (read cherry) as the basic ingredient that has a color and taste similar to tea. This study used a quantitative approach with experimental tests. Phytochemical analysis used the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method and continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that cascara tea is made by sorting and cleaning the coffee husk, drying, reducing the size, adding sappanwood powder, brewing and filtering to produce cascara tea. The results of the physicochemical tests to determine the quality of cascara tea products for each parameter were: moisture content of 10.8-11.7%, ash content of 6.9-7.3%, and pH value of 4.3-4.4. The organoleptic test results showed that sample P3 (ratio of 3 g coffee skin + 0.39 g sappan wood) was preferred by the panelists because it had a distinctive aromatic color, aroma and taste

Abstract

Utilizing coconut waste, particularly shells and husks, as raw material for charcoal briquettes holds great potential for supporting environmentally friendly and sustainable renewable energy. However, this waste is still not being utilized optimally, even though it can reduce environmental pollution while providing economic benefits. This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying the mixing ratio of coconut shells and husks on the physical characteristics and performance of the resulting charcoal briquettes, as well as to determine the optimal composition as an alternative energy source. The research was conducted at the Forestry Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Riau, over a five-month period (August–December 2025). The raw materials consisted of coconut shells and husks with three composition variations: 100% shells, 75% shells + 25% husks, and 50% shells + 50% husks. The carbonization process was performed conventionally for one hour. Afterward, the charcoal was ground, mixed with arpus binder, molded, and tested for briquette characteristics such as moisture content, density, and calorific value. The results showed that the 100% coconut shell briquette had the lowest moisture content (6.51%) and the highest density (0.79 g/cm³), resulting in more efficient, stable combustion and a high calorific value. Conversely, increasing the proportion of coconut husk raised the moisture content to 16.58% and lowered the density to 0.66 g/cm³, which negatively impacted briquette quality. Low moisture content and high density are key indicators of good briquette quality. In conclusion, a briquette formulation dominated by coconut shells is recommended for producing high-quality charcoal briquettes as an environmentally friendly and sustainable source of renewable energy, as well as supporting optimal coconut waste management in Riau Province and surrounding areas.

Abstract

Global warming driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions has heightened the need to utilize green spaces as carbon sinks, one of which is the arboretum. This study aimed to determine the potential biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ uptake of the vegetation in the Arboretum of Institut Teknologi Sumatera (Itera). A combination of destructive and non-destructive methods was applied across 12 plots representing three levels of vegetation density: high, medium, and low. The analysis covered biomass, carbon stock, and estimated CO₂ uptake. The results showed an average biomass of 50.51 tons/ha, a carbon stock of 23.74 tons/ha, and CO₂ uptake of 85.82 tons/ha. The highest values were found in the high-density vegetation area, which had a denser tree population. This study provides baseline carbon stock data for a developing campus arboretum in Sumatra, and concludes that, although the carbon stock of the Itera Arboretum remains lower than that of other arboreta, it nonetheless holds potential as a carbon sink that contributes to climate change mitigation. Practically, these results imply that arboretum management must prioritize intensive enrichment planting in low-density zones and establish permanent monitoring plots to optimize long-term carbon sequestration.

Abstract

The city of Palopo, a developing city on the eastern coast of South Sulawesi, is experiencing the intensive conversion of green spaces into residential in tandem with ongoing urbanization, a process that has direct implications for urban microclimate dynamics but has not yet been extensively studied through direct field measurements in this region. This study aims to analyze and compare microclimate characteristics based on air temperature parameters between vegetated areas and residential areas in Palopo City. Measurements were taken at ten sampling points, five in vegetated areas and five in residential areas, during three time periods (morning, noon, and afternoon) using a DHT11 digital temperature sensor. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and an independent samples t-test. The results showed that the average air temperature in vegetated areas was 29.46 °C, significantly lower than that in residential areas, which reached 30.40 °C, with an average difference of 0.94 °C (t = 6.78; p < 0.001; df = 8). The largest temperature difference was recorded during the day (1.38 °C), reflecting the contrast in heat absorption and release patterns between the vegetation canopy and the hard surface materials of residential areas. The daily temperature amplitude in vegetated areas (1.66 °C) is narrower than that in residential areas (2.68 °C), confirming the role of vegetation as a thermal buffer that stabilizes microclimate conditions. These findings provide an empirical basis for understanding the characteristics of tropical urban microclimates and for more measured planning of green open space distribution in the city of Palopo.

Abstract

Riparian Sungai Paneki merupakan habitat yang sangat mendukung kehidupan siklus kupu-kupu. Kupu-kupu merupakan kelompok serangga yang sensitif terhadap perubahan lingkungan sehingga berpotensi sebagai salah satu bioindikator kualitas habitat riparian. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, perubahan lingkungan pasti terjadi. Hal ini dapat membuat kupu-kupu rentan terhadap perubahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis serta menduga besaran kehilangan dan perolehan biodiversitas (loss and gain) kupu-kupu pada riparian Sungai Paneki. Pengambilan data dilakukan menggunaan metode transek jalur yang dikombinasikan dengan penangkapan menggunakan jaring serangga. Analisis data meliputi jumlah jenis, indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener (H’), indeks kemerataan (E), indeks kekayaan jenis Margalef (Dmg), dan perhitungan persentase kehilangan dan perolehan biodiversitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 35 jenis kupu yang tergolong ke dalam 5 famili (Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, dan Hesperiidae). Nilai indeks keanekaragaman (H’=3.05), kemerataan (E=0.85), dan kekayaan jenis (Dmg=7.57) menunjukkan bahwa habitat riparian Sungai Paneki masih mampu mendukung komunitas kupu-kupu yang beragam dan relatif stabil. Persentase nilai kehilangan jenis sebesar 36.84% dan perolehan jenis sebesar 45.61% menunjukkan adanya dinamika turnover komunitas kupu-kupu yang cukup tinggi pada habitat riparian Sungai Paneki.
