Abstract

Rasbora philippina is an endemic species in Mindanao Island, Philippines. Its reproductive biology remains unstudied despite its economic importance to the local inhabitants of the lake, the Subanen tribe. Due to its marketability, Rasbora faces local threats. Thus, the formulation of fishery management and conservation recommendations is highly recommended. A research-made survey was used to interview fishermen in the lake, and fish samples were collected using a seine net with a catch per unit effort of three or four from March to May 2019. Water samples were collected using a Niskin water sampler at 1 m and 15 m depths during the same period. The reproductive biology of the fish was determined using the following data: sex ratio, maturity stages, age and population structure, fecundity, gonadosomatic index, and length-weight relationship. During the study period, the water quality was highly variable, still in good condition, and could still support the population of R. philippina. There were 31 male and 403 female individuals with a mean fecundity of 2,645.67, suggesting that there were more females than males, compensating for the low fecundity of R. philippina. The species does not spawn continuously, as mature individuals were absent throughout the study. However, this species is continuously recruited due to the presence of juveniles in the entire sampling period. Peak spawning was in early and mid-March and mid-April. Based on the results, we suggest that the open fishing season should be in early April, late April, and the third week of March, while the closed season for fishing would be in early March and late March. Thus, the management and conservation of R. philippina should always include careful consideration of the facts presented in this present work.

Abstract

Previous research on meandering rivers in Indonesia, precisely in Java, has predominantly focused on alluvial plains, while their presence is also observed in hilly regions with rocky substrates. The study aims to investigate different meandering types in Java and establish regional connections between these types and geological and geomorphological processes. The methodology involves identifying high-resolution remote sensing images and topographic data, followed by analysis based on geological and geomorphological developments. To categorize the rivers, sinuosity ratios are meticulously calculated. The tectonic setting, which influences physiography and geomorphology, is an analytical unit for determining the meandering process. The result reveals that meandering rivers are primarily located in the alluvial plains of northern Java. Meanwhile, meandering rivers in hilly areas are concentrated in structural formations, predominantly in southern and central Java. In alluvial plains, meandering rivers display a regular pattern with higher concentrations of curvature downstream, and their substrates consist of deposits or soil. Conversely, meandering rivers in hilly regions exhibit irregular and winding patterns, randomly distributed from upstream to downstream. These rivers are situated in the physiographic regions of Southern Mountains, Hills in Central Depression, and Kendeng Hills, and their substrates mainly comprise rocks, leading to a more protracted process of curvature transformation. In conclusion, meandering rivers in Java can form not only in alluvial plains but also in hilly areas. Meanders on hilly topography possess higher sinuosity ratios than those on alluvial plains, displaying irregular patterns. Energy minimization alone is not the sole controlling factor; the physical surface conditions also play a significant role, particularly in meanders in hilly areas, resulting in a diverse typology of meanders. Therefore, understanding the formation of meandering rivers in various topographic regions can serve as a basis for policymaking, particularly in flood mitigation and riverbank erosion management.

Abstract

Eutrophication has become a serious environmental problem because of the excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. Aquaculture waste is one of the drivers of eutrophication. Seaweed is known for its ability to remove nutrients from the water. In Indonesia, research about the efficiency of seaweed in decreasing nutrient concentration in wastewater is still rare. This article reviewed the use of seaweed as an adsorbent for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. This review aims to summarize the efficiency of nutrient removal in various genera of macroalgae. The comparing bioremediation potentials of macroalgae, including growth, nutrient bioaccumulation capacity, and potential nutrient uptake, are discussed. The factors influencing nutrient uptake will also be addressed in this study. The literature was collected from ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases. This paper found that red algae from the genus Gracilaria were the most widely used as bioremediation agents compared to other genera. This article is expected to be useful as a basis for selecting seaweed to be used as a bioremediation agent. We hope that there will be more research on seaweed as a bioadsorbent in Indonesia.

Abstract

A reduction of child and maternal mortality is among the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely the third goal. An important determinant of child and maternal mortality risk is the utilization of maternal and child health (MCH). This study aims to analyze the relationship between women's autonomy and the continuum of MCH services utilization in Indonesia using IDHS 2017. The unit of analysis was women of childbearing age who were married or living together, gave birth to at least one child in the five years before the survey, and had the last child aged 1 to 3 years, totalling as many as 6,575 samples. The analytical method used is multinomial logistic regression. The dependent variable in this study is the continuity of MCH services utilization and is divided into three categories, namely not a continuum, partial continuum, and whole continuum. The primary independent variable used in this study is women's autonomy with the demographic and socioeconomic factors as control variables. The results show that the proportion of mothers who used all MCH services continuously in Indonesia was 22.14 percent. Utilization of PNC and K4 became the most dominant services from disconnection of every mother from utilizing all MCH services continuously. Mothers with higher autonomy had a higher probability of taking advantage of some and all stages of the continuum of MCH services utilization. Therefore, the government must continue to increase women's autonomy to increase the continuum of MCH services utilization and achieve the SDGs targets.

Abstract

A reduction in fertility is among the sustainable development goal indicators in Indonesia. This study analyzed the relationship between living arrangements and home ownership with fertility intention in Indonesia. The inferential analysis used in this study is ordinal logistic regression. The data used in this study came from the National Socioeconomic Survey 2017 results. The unit analysis in this study was women aged 15-49 years who were married and not contracepting. The dependent variable in this study was the fertility intention. The independent variables, namely living arrangement and home ownership, and the control variables, namely women's age, women's education, women's working status, parity, husband's education, husband's working status, living area, household income, grandparent's age, grandparent's health status, grandparent's working status, and grandparent's gender. This study was divided into three models. In the first model, women who live with their parents have 1.17 times higher tendency to have high fertility intentions than those with low fertility intentions or do not have fertility intentions than women who do not live with their parents. In the third model, women who live with their parents have 1.11 times higher tendency to have high fertility intentions than those who have low fertility intentions or do not have fertility intentions compared to women who do not live with their parents. The study results show that women who lived with their parents had higher odds of having high fertility intention. Women who lived in homes that were not their own tended to have high fertility intentions. From these results, it is hoped that there will be programs from the government for the elderly family so that the presence of parents or inlaws in the household can improve the quality of children more than the number of children.

Abstract

Earth is on the verge of rising temperatures above 1.5˚ Celsius. Passing the limit of 1.5˚ Celsius is a significant risk in living on earth as it will increase the risks of natural disasters such as drought, flood, and storm. With forests capable of absorbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the need for forest conservation areas is increasing to keep the earth's temperature below 1.5˚ Celsius. The increase in demand is facing hurdles from its financial sustainability, as well as the stakeholder's paradigm, which is still seen as a forest from a direct economic perspective. Market-based initiatives (MBI) are a concept that incentivizes stakeholders in their efforts to preserve nature. While many debates exist, it has become a significant strategy to reduce GHG emissions in many countries. With MBI's implementation, there is expected to be a paradigm shift in forestry business stakeholders from extraction to conserving nature. This research focuses on MBI's implementation in the Indonesian forestry business market through literature and in-depth discussions with MBI's market actors and stakeholders. This research also emphasizes the utilization of preference theory to analyze the significant criteria influencing business decision-maker preference. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to find the most preferable MBI's on Indonesia's market, and criteria derived the preference. The findings revealed that among the criteria, there were three main criteria impacting business preference over MBIs: market potential (0.476), business goal (0.146), and business experience (0.171). Carbon trading (0.572) is deemed the most preferable MBI alternative, with an overall AHP analysis consistency ratio of 0.02. This research contributes as a basis for future research in other countries on the business preference on market-based conservation.

Abstract

Global warming causes extreme weather and seawater levels to rise. Long-term climate change prediction has been done in various fields, including disaster management. It forced people to adapt to the consequences of climate change in coastal areas. Mitigation and adaptation are complementing each other in addressing climate change risks. Climate change mitigation supports essential aspects of sustainable development, specifically related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals on climate action (SDG13) and disaster risk reduction (SDG11). Making the community sustainable in a disaster is one of the ways to do this. Community sustainable development can be used to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This study aims to determine the potential of the community to become a sustainable community as an act of mitigation. The assessment in this research applies spatial statistics, which define spatial trends regionally by using the Z-score method to determine four equally essential indicators. Four indicators of a sustainable community are every sub-district's economic, social, environmental, and institutional conditions. The result shows that the Tanjungjaya sub-district has the most potential to be a sustainable community as it has high potential in economic, environmental, and institutional indicators. The lowest potential area is the Gombong sub- district. It has low potential in social, environmental, and institutional indicators. By knowing which indicators have higher values, sustainable community development in regions can be carried out by utilizing these indicators to improve other indicators. It can be concluded that the Tanjungjaya sub-district can lead the way to developing a sustainable community, followed by Mekarsari, Citeureup, Panimbangjaya, Mekarjaya, and Gombong sub-district. This research highlights future research should be done by reckoning this research method as a foundation for assessing sustainable development.

Abstract

The plastic packaging industry has become a significant commodity that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives, requiring greater responsibility from the industry for the life cycle management of their products. Several study methodologies are available to measure the industry's environmental impact, with life cycle analysis (LCA) gaining traction in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to measure the environmental impact of the plastic packaging industry analyzed using LCA with a focus on the main potential impact categories of global warming, acidification of the earth, toxicity to humans, formation of photochemical oxidants, and fossil depletion, within the scope of cradle to gate which was analyzed using SimaPro software. This research compares with previous research conducted in several countries (such as Poland, Qatar, and France) that conducted LCA on the plastic packaging industry. The results from Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, showed that the increase in the amount of plastic packaging produced contributes to environmental impact. Comparative studies reveal that the environmental impact is influenced by factors such as the quantity of recycled materials, the number of circularity cycles, and waste management strategies. Future LCA studies should also aim to refine inventory data, delving into greater detail for each unit of the process. This will yield more precise insights into the overall environmental impact of the process.

Abstract

The current trend in nature tourism has led to increased tourist visits to coastal areas, including destinations prone to disasters and previously exposed to tsunamis. This research, which aims to analyze the variables influencing tourists' desire to revisit disaster-prone areas, addresses a crucial and timely topic in tourism and disaster management. The research utilized a quantitative approach through a questionnaire-based survey of domestic tourists visiting the Pangandaran Beach Area in West Java, known for its susceptibility to tsunami disasters. The study involved 307 respondents who completed questionnaires between June and July 2023. Data analysis employed Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) analysis. The findings indicate a moderate level of association among the variables studied, with an R2 coefficient of 0.521. This suggests that destination image, risk perception, regional attractiveness, and knowledge of disaster risks collectively influence tourists' intentions to revisit. Notably, the variable "knowledge" did not significantly impact destination image and revisit intention but did influence risk perception. Additionally, risk perception was identified as a determinant influencing tourists' decisions to revisit Pangandaran. The research underscores the critical role of risk perception in influencing tourists' behavior in disaster-prone areas. This research highlights educating tourists about disaster risks and integrating individual factors in planning, as both influence revisits to disaster-prone destinations.
