Abstract

Land restoration is one of Ethiopia's top priorities for aligning development efforts with a climate-resilient green economy. In Ethiopia, initiatives to rehabilitate degraded land are generally evaluated in terms of the local people's economic and environmental impacts. Farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and actions toward land restoration, on the other hand, have to be taken into consideration for long-term natural resource conservation. As a consequence, this study examines the relationships between farmers' knowledge, attitude, and contributions to behavioral change in the restoration of degraded land. Data were collected from 120 farmers who participated in the restoration of degraded land. Structural equation models and mediation analyses were utilized for path analysis. The findings indicated that farmers had a good understanding of land restoration techniques. Analysis of the causal models revealed that farmers' attitude toward land restoration is highly influenced by their knowledge level of farmers. The outcome also revealed that positive attitudes of farmers resulted in behavioral change towards land restoration. Effective local community participation in the land restoration process and strengthening of their knowledge and attitudes that influence their behavior should be the cornerstones of sustainable land restoration.

Abstract

This research examines the escalating environmental degradation observed along the Tanjung Uma coastline, juxtaposing its unique challenges with the global narrative of declining coastal health. As a thriving marine ecosystem, Tanjung Uma has recently experienced considerable ecological decline, cascading effects on local biodiversity, community livelihoods, and socio-cultural dynamics. The study provides a granular understanding of the region's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats by combining a comprehensive literature review and a SWOT analysis. Findings highlight the dire state of the marine environment, driven by factors such as pollution, waste accumulation, and broader implications of climate change. However, the research also underscores the potential for regional cooperation, community engagement, and leveraging traditional knowledge as avenues for sustainable intervention. As a microcosm of global coastal challenges, Tanjung Uma's case offers insights that can inform broader strategies for marine conservation and community resilience.

Abstract

Risk-based land use planning is regarded as a controlling tool for reducing environmental disasters in urban settlements. However, unsustainable land use practices allow building and infrastructural developments in fire disaster-risk areas. Losses to urban fires are largely dependent on building and land use characteristics across settlements. This paper examines the underlying characteristics that increase fire risks in urban buildings by analyzing the relationship between land use patterns, types of building use, and fire disaster risk in the metropolitan area of Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were collected through a field survey using a structured questionnaire supplemented by focus group discussion. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 88 neighborhoods and 1,803 building occupants were selected using systematic random sampling. Findings indicate incompatible land use developments in many areas of the city. The study revealed that one out of five buildings were not accessible to fire-fighting vehicles owing to inadequate road widths (43.7%) and pot-holes (39.8%). One out of seven buildings (14.1%) had no water supply. About 10% of the buildings had emergency doors on permanent lock. About half of the building occupants relied on power supply sources that increased risks of fire occurrence (52%) and 49.4% used unsustainable waste disposal methods that threatened fire safety. The paper concluded that land use attributes, such as accessibility, compatibility of uses, water supply sources, sources of electricity supply and solid waste disposal method, and building characteristics, such as burglar proofs, nature of entrance/exit, type of lighting fuel are factors that are relevant in fire disaster risk analysis.

Abstract

Sea cucumber inhabits shallow waters of the coastal area. Consequently, these organisms are vulnerable to heavy metals through food consumption and direct exposure to sediments, considering that they are filter-feeding and bottom-dwelling organisms. Holothuria. leucospilota, locally known as “balat” is used as a bioindicator to measure environmental pollution in this study. The analysis of Cr and Pb were administered in the sediments and the body wall of H. leucospilota from residential and commercial areas along the coastal area of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Cr and Pb concentrations were determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) method for sediments and the Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS) method for H. leucospilota. Results of the concentration of heavy metals in the sediments and body wall of H. leucospilota revealed that Cr>Pb while Pb>Cr in residential and commercial areas, respectively. The results of Cr and Pb concentration in the body wall of H. leucospilota were compared to the standard set by WHO/EPA and CODEX. Thus, H. leucospilota collected in the areas exceeded the permissible limit for Cr while Pb in H. leucospilota recorded below the permissible limit. Hence, this implies that this type of food is not safe for food intake and therefore, not recommended for human consumption.

Abstract

Road development has been a primary focus in efforts to enhance connectivity and mobility across various regions, especially in densely populated urban areas that often serve as economic hubs. While crucial for addressing mobility challenges in urban settings, it is essential to acknowledge that road development in rural areas also holds significant importance. This paper investigates the sustainability of rural road development through five dimensions of environmental, social, economic, institutional management, and law enforcement, a case study on Woro Village, Kepohbaru District, Bojonegoro Region. The quantitative research collected data through a questionnaire from 84 respondents who are members of the village community. The data analysis employed Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) using R-studio software. The result is indicated by the sustainability index of the environmental index of 83.93; the social index of 86.46; the economic index of 88.06; the institutional management index of 79.32 and the law enforcement index of 86.15. The research findings indicate rural road development has demonstrated good sustainability in various aspects, including environmental, social, economic, management institutions, and law enforcement. This confirms that efforts to build rural roads have provided sustainable and diverse positive impacts on local communities and the surrounding environment.

Abstract

The volume of waste in Indonesia especially in Palopo City increases every year, while the quality of waste management does not show good performance. The large population makes high consumption including energy needs, even though most of the national energy needs come from coal which is a source of pollutants. Waste to energy (WTE) is a modern waste management that utilizes waste into renewable energy, the conversion of waste into energy can be done with landfill gas (LFG) technology and incineration. The study aims to analyze the potential of waste management based on waste-to-energy technology in Palopo City. Quantitative descriptive research with observation and documentation instruments. To calculate the potential energy produced using LandGem-v302 and mathematical equations, to assess the feasibility of economic value using the criteria npv, irr, brc, and pp. The results of this study show that gas landfill technology has the potential to produce renewable energy. The results of the economic feasibility assessment of gas landfill technology meet all four criteria, thus the development of gas landfill technology can provide economic benefits. The results of incineration technology research have the potential to produce renewable energy. But from the results of the economic feasibility assessment unlike gas landfills, the combustion technology does not meet one of the economic value feasibility criteria. So the development of centration technology is not recommended to obtain economic benefits, the development of incineration technology is recommended to reduce waste.

Abstract

Medicinal plants take a fundamental place in people's livelihoods. They seem to be a palliative therapeutic option for health problems. The knowledge of traditional uses of plants for healing held by indigenous people is an asset to the valorization of traditional medicine, which is increasingly solicited for the treatment of many diseases. The aim of this research is to improve know-how on plant species employed in the traditional pharmacopoeia practiced by the Baka people, recognized as great healers. Data were collected between 2018 and 2019 from 75 households distributed in five villages in the Mintom subdivision, Southern Region of Cameroon. The so-called popular ethnobotanical survey method was used. One thousand six hundred and thirty-five (1 635) citations and six hundred and five (605) recipes were recorded, involving 210 plant species, distributed in 183 genera and 75 families. A total of 69 health problems were identified and distinguished in 13 groups of diseases. Results reveal that for the same diseases, each village uses its own list of plants. The study area is highly diverse in terms both flora and uses. This paper can therefore be seen as a continuation of the research and development of plants-based medicines. It is also in the line with the import-substitution policy for valorization of Cameroonian.

Abstract

To promote sustainable development and holistic well-being, this article examines the connections between Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Gross National Happiness (GNH). GNH emphasizes environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and socioeconomic advancement, but the SDGs provide a complete framework for tackling global issues. With its roots in local and indigenous populations, TEK offers essential perspectives on environmental management and cultural preservation. By giving marginalized populations more authority, TEK integration into development plans improves biodiversity protection, guarantees the preservation of indigenous knowledge, and advances social justice. By acknowledging the interdependence of the material, spiritual, and environmental aspects of well-being, we may build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable futures.

Abstract

The expansion of agricultural land through deforestation is becoming a serious problem in several regions of Ethiopia. The research was carried out in the Adami Tulu Jido Kombolcha district due to the observed expansion of agricultural land at the expense of forests. Therefore, this study aims to identify direct and indirect factors affecting land use and land cover change from forest to agriculture. Data was collected using household surveys, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs). Household surveys were conducted on 244 randomly selected households. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the DPSIR framework to develop relationships between drivers, pressures, conditions, influences, and responses. The result shows that most farmers clear forests to expand their agricultural land. Further, the results showed that the proximate causes of the conversion of forest to agriculture were charcoal production, large-scale agriculture, and small-scale farming, as well as poverty, unemployment, and lack of enforcement of forestry laws, and weak forest policy were identified as the main indirect causes of agricultural land expansion at the expense of forests. In addition, the results indicate that the consequences of changing land use from forestry to agriculture are loss of biodiversity, increased soil erosion, floods and droughts, and shortages of wood, buildings, and fuel. The study results suggest that awareness-raising activities on the use of natural resources and the impacts of deforestation, as well as forest policies and strict enforcement of forestry laws, are important to establish and maintain appropriate use of land in that particular area.

Abstract

Bamboo is a fast-growing forest resource that offers significant economic potential and can contribute to sustainable development. Farmers' knowledge and attitudes about exotic bamboo influence the successful adoption and effective utilization of the technology. Enhancing farmers' knowledge and positive attitudes towards exotic bamboo can create economic opportunities and ensure environmental sustainability. However, empirical evidence on farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards exotic bamboo practices is limited. This study aims to assess farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards the adoption of exotic bamboo species through a combined survey and field demonstration in southwest Ethiopia over the past three years. The field demonstration is supported by continuous training and follow-up. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 30 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The results indicate that participating respondents had a low level of knowledge and positive attitudes towards adopting exotic bamboo before the implementation of the program. The outcomes of a three-year field demonstration program show the effectiveness of providing smallholder farmers with information and knowledge about the adoption and management of exotic bamboo technology. Almost all respondents recognize the importance of implementing exotic bamboo to narrow the demand and supply gap of wood and forest management. Moreover, the results reveal a positive correlation between farmers' knowledge and their willingness to adopt exotic bamboo technology. Therefore, the finding suggests the provision of capacity-building training and extension services for farmers to increase their knowledge and positive attitudes toward the adoption of exotic bamboo management practices.
