Abstract

Small-scale fisherfolks contributed to the livelihood and economic aspects of the fishery sector in the region. However, they are vulnerable regarding potential risks and threats caused by various conditions. This study explored the vulnerability of fifty-two small-scale fisherfolks selected from six barangays near Laguna's Northern West Bay, Philippines. The case study design guided the data collection from multiple sources, including survey questionnaires, unstructured interviews, and document analysis for triangulation and analysis of fisherfolks' exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Results show that there are indicators that contribute to the vulnerability of fisherfolk in terms of exposure, which involves hydrometeorological hazards, water quality, and biological indicators; Sensitivity, which involves the type of fish, fish consumption, family size, number of times fishing, age of fisherfolks, catch rate, gear dependence; and adaptive capacity which involves the health benefits, domestic credits/loans, fishery cooperative, seminar and training, income, educational attainment, alternative livelihoods, boat types, house types, presence of fry fishery, size of fish, mode of communication, presence of infrastructures and fishing experience. There is a need for appropriate interventions and doable programs by the government authorities in addressing the areas that contribute to the high level of vulnerability of fisherfolks for them in return to be able to sustain their means of livelihood and ability to contribute to the industry of fisheries in connection with the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals. This research highlights the necessity of a systemic approach in assessing the needs of small-scale fisherfolks to help them reduce vulnerability while supporting their industry. Additionally, it recommends a practical framework and scale for assessing the vulnerability of small-scale fisherfolks, along with supporting policies for a long-term strategy to boost this sector.

Abstract

The groundwater status of Northwestern Bangladesh is a complex and challenging issue due to its arid and semi-arid climates, increasing population, overexploitation for domestic and irrigation purposes, lack of adequate rainfall, and limited water resources. The study aimed to assess the suitability and health risk of groundwater quality for drinking purposes. A total of one hundred groundwater samples were collected from shallow tubewells in two seasons, the monsoon (MON) and post-monsoon (POM), in northwestern Bangladesh (Ganges River basin) and analyzed using standard methods of analysis (Atomic adsorption spectrometry, UV-visible spectrometry, graphite, ion chromatography). The trends of predominant cations were Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+, and anions were HCO3− > Cl− > SO42− > NO3− > PO43- in both seasons. The dominant cation and anion are Ca2+ and HCO3−, and the water type of the groundwater was Ca-Mg-HCO3. Contamination of trace metals, including Fe, Mn, and Pb, in the groundwater of the study area follows the trend of Fe > Mn > Pb in two seasons. The study observed that the POM showed a higher concentration of trace metals than the MON season. The results indicated that a higher concentration of Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Pb, as well as the WQI, HMPI, HMEI, and CD posed threats to human health. The quality of the studied samples is poor to undrinkable. The non-carcinogenic risk to human health was not found for both adults and children in both seasons. The study observed that over-extraction, pollution, trace metals, low rainfall, and climate change threaten groundwater quality and availability. The study suggests that groundwater is unfit for human consumption without treatment, particularly for Fe, Mn, and Pb.

Abstract

Massive mask usage during the COVID-19 pandemic has been causing increased mask waste problem. Improper mask management can spread virus in the environment. Proper mask waste management behaviours must be investigated to better understand the underlying factors. Studies have focused on mask waste management in Indonesia, but none have used a comprehensive behavioural framework. This study integrates the Theory of Planned behaviour (TPB) and the Norm Activation Model (NAM) aiming to determine the factors that influence the intentions of Pekanbaru’s residents in managing mask waste. The survey involved 384 respondents selected through a systematic cluster random sampling. The data was analysed with PLS-SEM to verify the model. We hypothesised that awareness of consequences, the ascription of responsibility, subjective and personal norms, attitudes, and perceived behavioural control positively affect behaviour. Attitudes (p < 0.05, t = 2.681), personal norms (p < 0.05, t = 6.708), and perceived behavioral control (p < 0.05, t = 5.846) are also positively and significantly related to mask waste management intention. Awareness of consequences has a significant indirect effect on mask waste management intention through attitude (p < 0.05, t = 2.638), and the highest indirect effects are through ascription of responsibility and personal norms (p < 0.05, t = 4.885). The consequence of awareness, ascription of responsibility, and personal norms are essential elements in enhancing motivations for taking responsibility and participating in household waste management. Demographics such as age and monthly expenses significantly affect mask waste management intentions. This work offers a novel integration of TPB and NAM, which enhances research on the behavioural intents of household mask waste management. Based on the results, the policy implications of how to motivate society to sort waste were discussed, and research limitations were indicated.

Abstract

The examination of sustainability within the textile industry necessitates an exploration of various environmental pollution issues. This study aims to tackle challenges in the synthetic dye industry by reviewing past research on textile dyeing, providing scientific insights, identifying patterns, and highlighting research gaps. It is hypothesized that the cultivation of Indigofera tinctoria with optimized NPK fertilization can significantly enhance its growth and yield, contributing to sustainable natural dye production. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study integrated bibliometric analysis of 1320 Scopus articles with field experiments. The bibliometric analysis, conducted with Vos Viewer software, identifies India and the United States as leaders in textile dye research. Key terms include indigo, indigo carmine, I. tinctoria, and natural dyes. A significant research gap is identified in the cultivation of I. tinctoria, particularly concerning the application of NPK (16:16:16) fertilization. Field experiments analyzed using R-studio demonstrate that NPK significantly increases the fresh weight of I. tinctoria at 11 weeks after planting. Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between the fresh weight of I. tinctoria on the dry weight of the plants (0.91***) and specific leaf weight (0.60*). These results indicate that advancing research on natural dye indigotin and the cultivation of I. tinctoria plants in the field is highly relevant to addressing research questions concerning the development of natural dye research and the cultivation methods of indigo dye plants in field conditions. NPK fertilization enhances the growth and yield of I. tinctoria, supporting sustainable cultivation in Indonesia. This research contributes to present a viable strategy for promoting sustainable natural dye production and addressing the identified research gap in the cultivation of this important dye-producing species. Future research should focus on optimizing NPK fertilization strategies to maximize yield and sustainability.

Abstract

The current climate change is caused by anthropogenic activities involving energy and industry usage that affect the temperature and climate of the Earth. The Paris Agreement on climate change is a commitment by some countries to act to address climate change by developing sustainably and emitting low levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). Changes in the oceans include temperature increases, acidification, and changes in currents, leading to decreased productivity in fishing and aquaculture. Integrated mangrove shrimp farming, known as silvofisheries, has been recognized as environmentally friendly cultivation. The implementation of silvofishery is a form of mangrove ecosystem management that integrates ecology and economics. An economic and ecological valuation is needed in the Vannamei shrimp farming business. Therefore, this study aims to build an economic model of mangroves and shrimp farming. The data were analyzed and simulated using Systems Dynamic. Based on Business as Usual (BAU) simulation predictions for the 2023 mangrove area of 267 hectares, the best scenario for the mangrove area of 2033 is 1,770 hectares, the total economic value of shrimp of Rp 49,300,000,000 and the total economic value of mangrove is Rp 77,175,000,000. This research results in a potential trade-off between intensive shrimp farming businesses and mangrove rehabilitation to maintain a business's sustainability and the environment's carrying capacity.

Abstract

Gombi rural community of Adamawa state, Nigeria, has witnessed significant growth in human population, which has contributed to an increase in water demand. Thus, the study analyzed water demand and supply patterns in Gombi communities of Adamawa State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics such as mean and percentages and inferential statistics like Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), chi-square, and linear regression were adopted for the analysis. The results on socioeconomic characteristics showed that the majority were females, with low household income levels, large household sizes, and in their active ages. Hand-dug well water was the primary water source (44.2%) in the communities. The average water used in the area was 448.9 liters, an average of 49.9 liters per capita per day (L/c/d) less than the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of 70 L/c/d - 100 L/c/d. More so, water used for agricultural and commercial purposes averages 851 and 348 liters daily, respectively. Overall, drinking and cooking consume less than 3.2% and 2.4% of all the water used daily in the study area. The study identified four factors affecting the area's water supply: water facilities, climatic conditions, groundwater presence, and human activities. The water demand projection for the next ten years from 2022-2031 in the study area showed that the water demand will rise to 7,100,590.82 liters at the rate of 49.9 L/c/d due to its linear relationship with population growth, which stands at 2.9% per annum. The study recommended constructing mini-water projects to cater to the water needs of the populace. In addition, there should be sensitization campaigns against dumping refuse in groundwater, which is a significant water source in the Gombi community.

Abstract

The increasing number of motorized vehicles in Jakarta is causing environmental damage and can harm human health. In recent years, the Jakarta local government has the vision to focus on improving the human mobility network, including the pedestrian networks. As a heavily trafficked road, Jalan Kyai Tapa, West Jakarta, is used by many people. However, it may feel uncomfortable to walk there due to heat and sun exposure, which is compounded by extensive pavement coverage. The thermal condition of the pedestrian corridor is essential to create a comfortable walking experience. The objective of this study was to analyze the thermal comfort of the pedestrian corridors at Jalan Kyai Tapa concerning the landscape composition, including vegetation structure and pavement. This study was conducted quantitatively. This study identified the vegetation structure, including the tree species, canopy diameter, and height. Then, we measured the air temperature and relative humidity at predetermined measurement points to evaluate thermal comfort using the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). The results showed that the air temperature ranges from 31.01°C to 31.54°C, and the relative humidity ranges from 56.19% to 57.74%. The average THI value is 28.52 °C, which falls into the comfortable category. Despite having relatively wide canopies and providing shade, the trees in this pedestrian corridor do not seem to improve the thermal environment enough to achieve comfortable conditions for pedestrians. Interestingly, the result shows that, at certain observation times, points without trees had lower air temperatures compared to other spots with trees. Trees may not be the most influential factor in improving pedestrian thermal comfort. Furthermore, the spots near trees with more expansive canopies can be less comfortable than spots near trees with smaller canopies. Tree species and the planting spacing determine the efficiency of trees to improve thermal comfort.
