Abstract

The enforcement of environmental laws in Indonesia plays a pivotal role in protecting and conserving natural resources while addressing various environmental pollution issues, including river pollution. This article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of regulations, implementation strategies, and challenges in enforcing environmental laws related to river pollution in Indonesia. Using normative legal research methods, the study examines the evolution of environmental legislation, beginning with UUPLH 1982 and culminating in Law No. 6/2023, which supersedes Law No. 11/2020. The findings reveal that river pollution in Indonesia stems from diverse human activities. Law enforcement mechanisms involve administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions designed to control pollution, deter violators, and restore damaged ecosystems. The recent amendments under Law No. 6/2023 introduce provisions for broader public participation, enhanced risk-based oversight, and stricter liability for polluters. This article underscores the critical need for robust regulations, heightened public awareness, and consistent monitoring to effectively address river pollution. Strong law enforcement measures are essential for maintaining aquatic ecosystem balance, safeguarding citizens' rights to a healthy environment, and fostering sustainable development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of attractions and accessibility on visitor motivation at Lampuuk Beach, Aceh Besar, Indonesia. Lampuuk Beach, known for its pristine white sand and surf-friendly waves, has seen a significant decline in visitors, with numbers dropping from 57,205 in 2018 to 7,906 in 2022. This decline is attributed to factors including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic challenges, and insufficient tourism infrastructure. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, this research analyzes data collected through accidental sampling of visitors at Lampuuk Beach. The study employs regression and path analysis, with attractions and accessibility as independent variables and visitor motivation as the dependent variable. Results reveal that attractions and accessibility collectively explain 88% of the variance in visitor motivation, with direct effects of 27.56% and 21.65%, respectively. Additionally, an indirect effect of 21.84% highlights the synergistic relationship between these variables. The remaining 28.95% is influenced by unexamined factors such as service quality and promotional efforts. This study underscores the critical roles of attractions and accessibility in driving visitor motivation, emphasizing the need for strategic improvements in these areas. Enhanced attractions and accessibility can bolster Lampuuk Beach's competitiveness as a premier tourist destination, ensuring sustainable growth and visitor satisfaction.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesian municipalities despite substantial improvements in basic sanitation infrastructure. This comprehensive review synthesizes epidemiological data, microbiological water quality assessments, and environmental health risk factors to elucidate the complex pathways linking water safety, sanitation practices, and disease incidence. Examining municipal surveillance data from Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra (2020–2024), we document a 24.3% reduction in reported diarrheal cases concurrent with modest improvements in municipal water quality metrics. However, critical sanitation vulnerabilities persist, with 10.8% of households maintaining reliance on microbiologically contaminated wells (mean E. coli: 3,367 CFU/100mL), and 65.2% of septic tank systems never receiving professional emptying. Spatial risk mapping reveals that 85.1% of municipal subdistricts face high-to-very-high wastewater management hazards despite 78.4% coverage by piped water systems. This investigation demonstrates that the discrepancy between aggregate infrastructure coverage and micro-level sanitation quality represents the principal challenge in tropical urban settings. Targeted interventions addressing critical gaps in septage management, household-level water treatment, and behavioral hygiene transformation are necessary to accelerate disease reduction. The integration of Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) methodologies with epidemiological surveillance provides an evidence framework for prioritizing resource allocation in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Payakumbuh City Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2019 was enacted to strengthen waste management sanctions, responding to the failure of the previous regulation. However, existing research (Syafer & Putera, 2024; Fadillah & Yuliarti, 2025) and internal government data (PTMP, 2023) confirm that the implementation of this Regulation continues to fail, public participation remains low, and sanctions are not being enforced. A research gap exists regarding why these sanctions fail to be executed. This study aims to analyze the juridical and sociological factors causing the broken law enforcement chain. Using a qualitative socio-legal approach, primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Environmental services (DLH) and community members, supported by document analysis. The findings reveal that the failure of sanction enforcement is systemic. The law enforcement chain is broken upstream (apparatus) due to two critical barriers within the Environmental Services: (1) A juridical barrier, namely the absence of a derivative City Regulation as the technical Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for enforcement; and (2) A structural barrier, namely the shortage of supervisory personnel (only 1 Environmental Supervisor or PPLHD). The chain is broken downstream (public) because: (1) Sanctions lack credibility (the public has "never" witnessed fines or arrests); and (2) Apathy is entrenched by systemic failure (sorted waste is "mixed again" by officers). The strict Rp 50 Million sanction in the Regional Regulation (das sollen) has become a "paper tiger" (das sein) due to apparatus dysfunction and a lack of political will.

Abstract

Illegal gold mining (PETI) in Sijunjung Regency has triggered a severe environmental crisis, characterized by widespread heavy metal pollution from mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) that threatens ecosystems and public health. To comprehensively assess this issue and evaluate existing management policies, this study conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, synthesizing evidence from 20 empirical studies. The results reveal that heavy metal concentrations in water, sediment, soil, and biota significantly exceed quality standards, with a clear spatial gradient emanating from PETI sites and a worrying increasing trend over time. Concurrently, the evaluation of management policies uncovered critical weaknesses, including institutional fragmentation, low law enforcement effectiveness (achieving only 45% of its target), and an over-reliance on ineffective repressive measures. In conclusion, the findings underscore the urgent need for a fundamental policy shift from a repressive to an integrative and sustainable model. This study proposes an evidence-based framework that combines stringent regulation, real-time monitoring, community-based economic empowerment, and public health interventions to holistically address the root causes and multifaceted impacts of PETI in Sijunjung.

Abstract

Managing hospital liquid waste is very important to prevent environmental pollution. Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital in Padang, as a referral hospital, generates liquid waste that must be treated according to quality standards. This study aims to evaluate the management of liquid waste at RSI Ibnu Sina Padang in 2025, considering input, process, and output. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach or in-depth interviews thru interviews, observation, and document review with triangulation analysis. The number of informants to be studied is 6 people. The research results show that the inputs, including policies, human resources, budget, and infrastructure, are generally adequate. The planning process is carried out thru annual evaluations, implementation is based on SOPs, and routine monitoring is done with external laboratory tests. The output shows that most of the liquid waste parameters (BOD, COD, TSS, ammonia, oil and grease, pH) meet the quality standards, although fluctuations sometimes occur in pH and coliform. The main constraints are damage to the wastewater treatment plant equipment and delays in repairs due to funding/budget. It can be concluded that the management of liquid waste at RSI Ibnu Sina Padang has been quite effective, but continuous monitoring, the provision of backup equipment, and improved cross-sectoral coordination are still needed to optimally control environmental pollution.

Abstract

The global water pollution crisis exacerbated by anthropogenic activities demands effective integration between science and policy. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 285 publications to map the intellectual landscape and evolutionary trajectory at the interface of liquid waste contamination and environmental policy. Findings reveal an exponential acceleration of research since 2014, with 75.78% of publications concentrated in the last decade, reflecting increasing global urgency. China dominates as the research epicenter with the highest productivity (56 publications), the greatest citation impact (1,914 citations), and a role as a key collaboration link. Thematic analysis confirms the consolidation of this field around the core concepts of “environmental policy” (228 occurrences) and “wastewater treatment” (215 occurrences), marking a paradigm shift from technocratic approaches toward holistic policy integration. However, the polarization of international collaboration into 10 cohesive clusters indicates a fragmentation of global discourse. Critically, this study identifies an alarming disparity between rapid scientific progress and lagging policy adoption capacity, highlighting the urgent need for adaptive policy frameworks and transdisciplinary collaboration mechanisms to bridge the implementation gap and respond more effectively to emerging contaminants.

Abstract

This systematic literature review analyzes the complexity of illegal gold mining (ASGM) from an environmental policy perspective through a review of 53 selected scientific publications (2000-2025). The results reveal that ASGM is the largest source of global mercury pollution, contributing 37% of anthropogenic emissions, which triggers environmental and health crises through bioaccumulation and biomagnification mechanisms in the food chain. Regulatory frameworks exist in Indonesia, such as the Minerba Law, the PPLH Law, the RAN PPM, and the ratification of the Minamata Convention. However, the main findings of this study identify a significant implementation gap between policy and practice in the field, caused by weak law enforcement, structural corruption, suboptimal inter-agency coordination, and the lack of viable technological and economic alternatives for communities. The root of the problem lies in a governance deficit, where a command-and-control approach fails to address the reality of ASGM as an economic lifeline for marginalized communities. Therefore, a sustainable solution requires a paradigm shift towards inclusive governance that integrates guided formalization, alternative economic empowerment, and a supply-chain approach to disrupt the distribution of illegal mercury.

Abstract

Agrotourism is a series of tourism activities that utilize agricultural potential as tourist attractions that can be enjoyed through natural scenery, plant and animal conservation, educational activities in agricultural and plantation areas that have a diversity of production activities and technologies, and can also promote community culture. Agrotourism potential can be developed through integrated agriculture such as farming, animal husbandry, and educational tourism. This study aims to identify the development of research related to the sustainability of agrotourism conducted worldwide through data obtained from relevant journals for the period 2000 to 2025. There are 58 studies related to the sustainability of agrotourism. The method used in this study is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The SLR method is used to identify, review, evaluate, and interpret all available research in fields and topics related to relevant and specific research questions. Using the SLR method, systematic reviews and journal identification can be carried out, with each process following predetermined steps or protocols. The results of this study show that agrotourism research has shown consistent growth from 2000 to 2025, with a significant surge in 2024, indicating the importance of agrotourism in sustainable tourism. The country conducting the most research in the field of agrotourism sustainability is Indonesia, with research based on the number of citations each year 2000 to 2025 being 4 out of 20 studies.

Abstract

Waste issues represent an increasingly complex environmental challenge that requires behavior change through education from an early age. Environmental education at the elementary school level plays a crucial role in developing environmental literacy and sustainable waste management behavior. This study aims to describe the level of environmental knowledge of Phase C elementary school students (Grades V and VI) regarding waste management. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 150 students. The instrument consisted of a 15-item multiple-choice test covering fundamental waste concepts, organic and inorganic classification, environmental impacts, the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle), waste sorting, and environmental care attitudes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, median, mode, and percentage distribution. The findings indicate a mean score of 12.23 (high category), with 70% of students categorized as high and 30% as moderate, and none in the low category. Correct response rates were very high for conceptual and normative indicators but relatively lower for applicative aspects such as the implementation of 3R principles and waste sorting. These findings suggest that while foundational knowledge is well established, practice-based and systematic habituation strategies remain necessary to transform knowledge into practical waste management skills within the school environment.
