Abstract

The increasing deforestation rate in the tropical peat landscape is impacting the sustainability of the peat ecosystem. Previous studies have monitored the deforestation on tropical forest using Landsat imagery. The analysis of forest landscape dynamics is crucial in understanding the functions of the sustainable ecosystem and to support sustainable development goals. The government controls the peat ecosystem function (PEF) based on the Indonesian Government Regulation No. 71/2014. However, a booming sago industry has resulted in smallholders establishing farms and expanding into the peatland. In this study, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of land use/cover changes based on a series of Landsat images from 1987–2016 along with a consideration of multidimensional factors, including the PEF, state forest land, and hotspots, to identify the mechanism and driving factors of the peat landscape dynamics. A qualitative approach was also used via interviews with 78 plantation smallholders to supplement the information obtained regarding the agricultural expansion. The observed land use/cover changes clearly indicate the conversion of forest into plantation land. The magnitude of the deforestation rate indicates the ongoing massive deforestation and spatial distribution of the protected PEF. Unproductive plantations within the state forest land totalled one-quarter of the Tebing Tinggi Island in 2016. The land use/cover change patterns indicate that timber extraction, peat fires, infrastructure development, and agriculture expansion are the driving factors. The actual minimum of income of plantation smallholders is leading to increases in unproductive land and poverty.

Abstract

In Indonesia, urban litter is threatening the role of urban lakes as a part of green infrastructures in cities. To overcome this issue, Kenanga Lake—an urban lake with a surface area of 2.8 ha located within the Universitas Indonesia Campus—has been equipped with a trash trap unit on its inlet. However, the large amount of litter and its unpredictable pattern have made trash trap management difficult. The previous study illustrated the conceptual diagram of this problem. As a continuation in terms of looking further for sustainable solutions to this problem, this study aimed to establish its quantitative dynamic model, which is expressed as the mathematical equations of the interrelations among elements. We developed the model using the system dynamics modeling method with the Powersim Studio 10 software and validated it using the Average Mean Error (AME) method. To help calibrate the model, several supporting methods, i.e., field observation, load–weight analysis continuous sampling, and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-based questionnaire survey, were used. Results showed that, on a sunny day, the maximum inlet lake litter load is 33 g/m3/h. Meanwhile, if rain falls, the maximum inlet lake litter load increases tenfold and reaches 346 g/m3/h. Then, the survey found that 22% of the citizens living in the location have a strong intention to dump their waste into the waterway. Moreover, the model has been validated, with the AME value of 0.1079 or confidence level of 89.21%. Finally, we conclude that the TPB-based questionnaire survey method can be combined with the system dynamics modeling method to capture the human sociocultural aspect of the system quantitatively. The applied methods can be used to solve the typical litter abundance problem in other urban lakes.

Abstract

One of the main problems with acidic soils is the availability of soil nutrients. In such soils, iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) ions are highly present. This study evaluated the Fe and Mn fractions in the soil profiles of forests used for agroforestry and dryland agriculture in the upper Ciliwung watershed. The watershed is a zone of high rainfall washing. The evaluation was based on the results of analysis of soil samples taken at four soil horizons (Ao or Ap, A1 or A2, B1, and B2) for each type of land use. Research was conducted by survey and laboratory analysis. Fractionation of Fe and Mn employed sequential extraction methods with different compounds in each fraction. Fractionation was divided into exchangeable fractions (Exch), acid extractable (Acex), can be reduced (Red), oxidized (Oxs), and residual (Res). Results showed that Res Fe was (>23000.8 ppm or 76.3%) and Oxs Mn (>1642.9 ppm or 52.9%) dominated each type of land use, while the lowest fractions were Exch Fe (<12.2 ppm or 0.022%) and Exch Mn fraction (<97.2 ppm or 1.50%) in each type of land use.

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium andis transmitted through the bite of a female Anopheles vector. Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) is a district in South Sumatra that is endemic to malaria. The study aims to determine habitat type, environmental factors that influence larvae development, and distribution of Anopheles larvae. The experiment was conducted from January to February 2019 in the Kelurahan Kemelak Bindung Langit, OKU. Species identification was carried out in the Entomology Laboratory, Baturaja Health Research and Development Center, OKU. Sampling locations were determined based on field observations, through simple purposive sampling. Identification of mosquito larvae which were maintained in the laboratory, showed that they originated from four Anopheles species namely An. vagus, An. barbirostris, An. kochi, and male Anopheles. The dominant habitat (76,89%) was rice fields. The characteristics of larval breeding habitats included water pH of 5-6, water temperature of 280C-320C, light intensity of 756 - 761 mmHg, visual clear water, muddy substrates, and habitat distance with houses of 10 -60 m. The Anopheles type diversity index (H ') was low (0.04-0.36). The larval density was the highest in RT 1 and RT 2 (as many as 2.5 larvae/cauldrons), and the lowest in RW 3 locations (as many as 0.1 larvae/cauldron), which had the same habitat type, namely, rice fields. The highest dominance index (C) was found in male Anopheles (C = 1), and the lowest was detected in An. kochi (C = 0.02) and An. barbirostris (C = 0.01). The pattern of the spread of Anopheles based on the Morishita index was grouped (Id> 1) and uniform (Id <1).

Abstract

Digital farming is a type of digital economy that cannot be separated from essential elements, such as data availability and farmers themselves. Digital farming is found easily in many developed or agricultural countries, such as southern Europe and Brazil, nor to Indonesia and South Korea. However, Indonesia and South Korea experienced internet utilization and agricultural land area discrepancies which come to similar result, still developing sustainable agriculture. Thus, subjects of the study are Indonesia and South Korea due to their location in the Asian continent and similar history as developing countries in the past. Using farmer households and land agricultural data from Central Bureau of Statistics Indonesia and Statistics Korea, this study conducts quantitative analysis through fuzzy analysis and qualitative analysis through charts and explorative study. Based on quantitative analysis, the results are suitability maps between agricultural land area and farm households in Indonesia and South Korea due to agricultural land area, especially rice field, and farm households are the variables. Meanwhile, qualitative analysis produces charts and descriptive explanations, including internet utilization from World Bank. The rice field area is linked to land conversion, whilst farm household populations are linked to the prosperity of farmers. Indonesia has more farm households and rice field areas than South Korea, but South Korea has the technology to boost productivity and efficiency. The mutual relationship can be built by seeing food security in South Korea and digital farming implications in Indonesia. Therefore, both countries could strengthen bilateral relations beside of digital farming actualization.

Abstract

Coal mining has been one of the issues that led to pros and cons in Indonesia. Research shows that mining activities are one of the factors that affect people’s incomes and local and national economic development. However, mining is a lucrative activity that leads to construction booms that attract population growth and lead to deforestation, thus affecting the environmental conditions of a region. The coal mining industry of Indonesian province of East Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo, provides most of the economic base needed to build the infrastructure and provide energy of the country. Kalimantan Province accounts for approximately 90 % of the entire country’s coal production. East Kalimantan, with its mining operations mainly in the district of Kutai and its expanded territory, is a major coal-producing region of the country. This article will examine how coal mining sector contributes to environmental conditions and Human Development Index (HDI) in the province of East Kalimantan. This research was conducted using a combination of scientific methods, including literature, spatial analysis using geographic information system (GIS) technology, and quantitative data analysis. From the analysis of the spatial issuance of coal mining permit in East Kalimantan, the coal mining sector has a direct impact on regional revenue and contributes indirectly to the HDI in the province of East Kalimantan. However, it turns out that the planning and management of natural resources field exploitation business licenses are not performed systematically. As a result, many problems arise, such as disputes over control and ownership of land (agrarian conflicts), damage to the landscape, deforestation, environmental pollution, and public health problems. Thus, anticipatory measures are needed by the government so that the economy of East Kalimantan Province remained stable and sustainable.

Abstract

From the perspective of anthropology, this article aims to explore why movements seeking environmental preservation and religious and cultural revitalization have been launched on the island of Sumba, and how the results of this research have contributed to promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially “Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation” and “Goal 15: Life on Land.” Sumba is one of the most sparsely populated and impoverished regions in Indonesia. Since the 2000, the process of marginalization of the Sumbanese has been drastic. They have suffered from the pressures of expanding agro-industry and mining. Most land on the beachside has been purchased and fenced off for future tourism development. Protesting the hardships, the people face, local NGOs collaborating with Sumbanese ritual specialists launched Festival Wai Humba (Festival of Sumbanese Water) in 2012. It aims not only to promote environmental protection but also to preserve the cultural heritage of Sumba, in terms of which the executive committee emphasizes the Sumbanese indigenous and local knowledge (ILK). The analysis of the Indonesian text, the prospectus of the fifth FWH, is important to understand the whole festival. Other data I discuss here were collected mainly by the qualitative research method. I interviewed the festival committee members and other attendants and conducted participant observation in various activities during the festival. The research shows the importance of a network connecting local communities all over Sumba and the translation of ILK into more adaptable and understandable knowledge. These two points are made possible by the collaboration between community leaders and NGOs, which is needed to negotiate with local and central governments and private companies.

Abstract

Indonesia has abundant mineral resources used as natural adsorbent materials for the absorption of heavy metal. Among these are natural zeolites, clay, and ashes. These natural materials showed high performance adsorption capacity with respects to their low cost and high availability. Several research reports had been published for studying the performance of the natural materials as adsorbent of several heavy metals i.e., Hg, Pb, Fe, Cd, Cr, Zn, Ni, and Cu by examining the effect of various factors, including pH, contact time, initial concentration, temperature, and dosage. Furthermore, to determine the adsorption rate, mechanism, and efficiency of natural materials in the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solution, investigations have been made of the parameters of the adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics. The main objective of this article is to provide an overview of the use of some natural materials found in Indonesia, including clay, natural zeolite, fly ash, and bottom ash for use as adsorbents for several types of heavy metals in aqueous solution. These types of natural adsorbents were chosen as their high availability in natural or disposal product and their high performance regarding their heavy metal uptakes. This article review is important in order to capture the current research reported the use Indonesia natural minerals as adsorbent of heavy metals and providing its future research opportunities. Thus, we also emphasize the prospect materials and the future research opportunities for the use of Indonesia's local natural minerals with the utilization of non-conventional modification techniques that can provide added value and improve the performance of these natural materials in removing heavy-metal waste from aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Tofu is a soy-based food that is frequently consumed by Indonesian as a protein source. It is usually produced by household industries using traditional technology, which currently experiencing environmental problems with respect to the inefficiency of resource usage and inadequate waste disposal. Therefore, cleaner production strategy is potential to be implemented by previously mapping the current problems faced by the industries. This study aims to present an environmental analysis on tofu production in Salatiga in the context of cleaner production. In addition to provides information about the current production process and explains waste management performed by the industries, this study describes how the people in Kalitaman-Salatiga consider environmental issue around the tofu production. This study was conducted by a qualitative approach using interview, observation, and documentation. Laboratory analysis was conducted to provide supporting data. The results showed that only a small proportion of the tofu production process in Kalitaman meets the indicators for cleaner production in term of using raw materials efficiently and reusing solid wastes. Wastes in the form of smoke and wastewater are still disposed without prior treatment. The BOD5, COD, and TSS contents of tofu wastewater exceed the quality standard set by the Indonesian government. Although the respondents understand the negative impact of pollution to ecosystem, they are not yet concerned because it does not show a direct detrimental impact on their community. Therefore, raising environmental awareness is required in order to protect the ecosystem and to prevent environmental deterioration.
