Abstract

Energy is a sustainability issue receiving primary global concern. Improving energy efficiency and utilizing renewable resources are important in building energy sustainability. An energy-efficient design is a basis for controlling energy efficiency in buildings, and it is highly motivated by the sustainable energy management perception of relevant stakeholders. Hotels have high energy intensities and high working costs. This study investigates the relationship between hotel design adequacy and hoteliers' perception of sustainable energy management in Abuja, Nigeria. The investigation embraces quantitative structure utilizing exploratory and elucidating techniques. The mean ranking and Pearson product-moment correlation results revealed substantial and weak positive correlations (r = 0.601 and r. = 0.257) between design adequacy and hoteliers' perception of importance as well as barriers of sustainable energy management, respectively. However, a negligible negative correlation was found between hotel design adequacy and hoteliers' opinion advantages of sustainable energy management (r. = -0.088). The findings negate the theoretical argument in cognitive dissonance that although hoteliers are conscious of energy issues and the high cost of power generation from back-up generators, they are not interested in investing in sustainable energy management. This study recommends minimizing hotel energy demand through climate-adaptive design and harnessing renewable energy to ensure comfortable and healthy hotel buildings with reduced operating and maintenance costs. Hotel design in the study area reasonably supports energy efficiency. Positive hoteliers' perception of the importance of sustainable energy management is related to improved design adequacy and thus responsible for a positive outcome.

Abstract

At the end of 2015, the government of Jakarta declared a river normalization program to widen both banks of the Ciliwung River and increase its channel capacity. Approximately 15 meters of inspection road was to be constructed immediately. To avoid eviction, 223 households in Kampung Anak Kali (KAKC) reduced their domestic spaces by shearing five meters off their houses, forcing them to allocate less space for daily activities, including cooking, bathing, and washing. Living in a tight space, constructing a tiny house is a necessity, not a lifestyle choice. The residents of KAKC, therefore, live in limited areas for survival, and each develops a house with unique characteristics to suit their needs. In response, a community engagement program was conducted in 2019 to redevelop houses and solve the domestic space issue in KAKC. Through four case studies, the project implemented Participatory Action Research (PAR) to share knowledge in spatial occupation between homeowners and professional architects. The result of the community engagement project is various spatial adaptations in small spaces with architectural consideration in safe, health, and financial affordability. This paper investigates deeper into how the project performed PAR as a tool of inquiry and criticizes the result. In the end, this paper concluded that PAR, which is established as a method in community-based projects, can be applied in a smaller subsystem such as a household.

Abstract

This review of the impact of large-scale pumping on arsenic distribution reveals that groundwater-fed irrigation and domestic withdrawal impart tremendous stress on the limited groundwater resource base and disrupts the dynamic equilibrium of the groundwater system of the Ganges–Meghna–Brahmaputra (GMB) delta in Southeast Asia. Excessive groundwater extraction through pumping affects the groundwater quality in three major ways. First, excessive pumping transports atmospheric oxygen and organic-rich surface water to the subsurface. Second, it promotes arsenic build up in surface soil irrigated with arsenic-laced groundwater. Finally, it shifts groundwater replenishment zones lying at various depths near extraction points, thus, carrying dissolved arsenic from shallow Holocene paleo-channel aquifers to deeper paleo-channel aquifers of the Pleistocene age. Optimal management for safe and sustainable groundwater exploitation operations in the area must aim to ameliorate the deleterious impacts of pumping on groundwater quality through either technological or policy intervention.

Abstract

Plastic products have been an integral part of human lives. However, concerns over plastic pollution have been growing. Thus, alternative practices that allow more sustainable production and consumption pattern are urgently needed. Improving plastic recycling management is one of the solutions to prevent an increase in plastic pollution. This paper aims to uncover the potential of plastic recycling, to define factors that can leverage the expansion of the recycling process, and to evaluate possible measures that can realize such expansion, especially given the limited literature on these topics. Therefore, a four-month study, which involved two months of rigorous primary survey and interview and secondary data collection process to obtain valuable and accountable raw data, was conducted between October 2019–January 2020. The conducted study showed that the urban population in Java Island generated around 189,349 t of plastic waste per month, but only 11.83% of it was collected. The remaining 88.17% was either directly transported to landfills or littered in the environment. Five major plastic types were collected in the recycling stream, namely, rigid PP (25%), film HDPE (20%), rigid PET (20%), rigid HDPE (14%), and film PP (9%) with more than 80% of collected plastic waste originating from waste pickers. The paper highlights the major challenges in improving post-consumer recycling: (i) failure of post-consumer plastic recyclable to meet the quality industrial standard; (ii) limited recycling processes and infrastructure; (iii) low market demand for recycled products.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has a target to provide 100% clean water through its “100-0-100 Urban” scheme. The objective is based on its Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015–2019 and the ambition to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The realization of a clean water supply, as of 2018, reached just 73%, and that in the cities, with only 2% growth per year. The cost needed to achieve the target of 100% clean water in Indonesia is Rp253 trillion. Given the fiscal limitations of the State Budget, financing alternatives need to be developed. Currently, there are two mechanisms to meet the needs of clean water in Indonesia, namely Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) and Conventional Government Procurement (CGP). The best scheme is the implementation of risk management and risk efficiency. This paper will analyze and compare CGP and PPP for their abilities to provide clean water with a risk efficiency approach, while still considering environmental sustainability and balance. The method that is currently being used to conduct this research is risk-based allocation method. The results of this study show that the PPP scheme is one of the most effective and sustainable, compared to others available in Indonesia. Via PPP, 43.8% of the allocated risk would be transferred from government risk to the project company, and some 25% would become shared risk. By this mode, it is predicted that using a PPP scheme could mitigate the risk of increased construction costs by approximately 71.6%, and 56.9% of the O&M cost. A PPP scheme for the water supply project in Indonesia is workable, bankable, and has the potential to finally fill in the water supply gap in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research investigates the tenacity of the villagers of Geriana Kauh in the Regency of Karangasem, Bali in preserving their culture and nature. Balinese are facing immediate threats due to massive modernization and industrialization. The excessive and intrusive development generated by mega tourism is causing environmental and societal degradations. People from the small village of Geriana Kauh have been striving to protect their ancestral land with the power of cultural consciousness. For the past 10 years, they have been working to rehabilitate their social and ecological crises caused by modernizations. This research utilizes eco-philosophy theories. The first is post-structuralist three ecologies theory by Felix Guattari. Using this critical theory, authors can extract the importance of equilibrium within the psyche, the social, and the ecological. The second is social ecology theory proposed by Murray Bookchin to understand the formation of a conscious ecological society. The novelty of this research is the amalgamation of local wisdom and religious value as progressive tools to create social-ecological transformation. The Balinese foundation of living lies within the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana or three sources of happiness: harmony among one another (pawongan), within the environment (palemahan), and to God (parahyangan). The villagers of Geriana Kauh live by this philosophy. They are predominantly farmers who have inherited land which has been passed down from generation to generation. This farming tradition is also intertwined alongside the ancient tradition of irrigation or Subak. Cultivating lands has become their cultural and spiritual identities.

Abstract

An integrated agriculture-based agrotourism model needs to be implemented in the Carik Injeman area of Cibodas village. To date, Carik Land, with an area of 30 hectares to date, has not been optimally used. Cibodas villagers mostly work as farmers and ranchers. More than 50% of the workforce does not have permanent employment. Some previous researchers have said that with integrated agriculture, independent communities could increase their land resources and farmers would prosper in a sustainable manner. The aim of this study was (1) to identify the factors that determine agrotourism planning in Carik land, (2) study integrated farming systems as support for agrotourism, (3) inventory the various opinions of village groups and community leaders related to agrotourism development (4) formulate an agrotourism model in integrated agriculture. This research uses descriptive, qualitative, observational, and quantitative methods, in particular Likert scales. Data collection uses questionnaires through purposive sampling. The results show that the community response supported by the FGD results on agrotourism planning was very good. SWOT analysis was made to study the agrotourism planning factor. The sustainable agrotourism plan to be located on Carik Injeman’s land must have four zones, namely an: 1) integrated farming system area, 2) integrated waste disposal area, 3) environmental area, 4) and recreation and sports area. The study results can be used as a recommendation for agrotourism planning in Carik Injeman land, Cibodas village, Bandung.

Abstract

Wastewater and household trash have become serious problems in major Indonesian cities due to the lack of environmental education for children and society as a whole. This paper will examine the urban lifestyle and the processing of waste, followed by an analysis of problem-based learning (PBL) experiments in elementary schools in various cities. The analysis will be supplemented with a questionnaire distributed to the students before and after the PBL trial. The article aims to offer an alternative educational environment that will evoke maximum learning results. It has been prepared using cross-tabulation research methods for three groups: The first group is comprised of students and teachers who have studied environmental education using the PBL method and through workshop activities. The second group comprises teachers who have studied environmental education using workshop activities. The third group includes teachers and students who have studied environmental education without the PBL model or workshop activities. Using cross-tabulation, show that the proportion of respondents increased after implementation compared to before is hand both Groups A and B. Group C does not show much change after implementation. From this study, authors conclude that groups using the PBL learning model with workshops showed significant changes in knowledge aspects.
