<![CDATA[This study aims to analyse the effects of air pollutants on the number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. Three pollutants, i.e. Particulate matter 10 (PM10), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), were analysed. The study covers a period of 1 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 involving data from the cities of Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang and Surabaya in Indonesia. This study used the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method with the endurance test Robust Standard Errors. The regression results showed that PM10, SO2 and NO2 are statistically significant positive regressors of the number of COVID19 cases. Every 1 μg/m3 increase in PM10, SO2 and NO2 concentrations is shown to cause an additional 2.65, 7.96 and 21.01 cases of COVID-19, respectively. The implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) has a statistically significant impact in curbing COVID-19 transmission; reducing 447.4 cases of COVID-19.]]>

<![CDATA[This article consists of research that examines the importance of public relations’ role in a company in achieving sustainability. This research was conducted with qualitative method towards cases of several forest plantation companies in Indonesia, including PT Arara Abadi in Riau (Sinarmas Group), PT Wirakarya Sakti in Jambi (Sinarmas Group), PT Adindo Hutani Lestari in North Kalimantan (RAPP Group, Soekanto Tanoto) and PT Toba Pulp Lestari (RAPP Group, Tanoto). The non-optimal role of public relations creates communication gaps when informing a company's policies. This research found the importance of implementing peace journalism approach with an environmental communication model in overcoming the gaps in public understanding and the gaps in forming a public opinion that is built in the media (online). The cause is that the role of public relations lacks optimization in practicing the environmental communication model related to reporting with a peace journalism approach.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the impacts of partnerships for sustainability certifications in coffee value chains on farm income in Lampung Province, Sumatra-Indonesia. We conducted farm-household surveys, interviewing 171 samples in West Lampung and Tanggamus Districts, consisting of 98 farmers joining partnership and 73 farmers not joining. A probit model is used to determine decisions to join the partnership; ordinary least square (OLS) is used to analyze the determinants of farm income; and Heckman selection-correction model is used to reduce the selection bias in partnership participation. We find some selection in partnerships for sustainability certifications, driven by the age and education of household head, land holding size of coffee farm and the proximity to rural cooperatives-KUBE. The partnership farmers earn higher farm income than those not joining, due to a higher proportion of productive family members. After employing the treatment-effect model, we find that the partnership for sustainability certifications raises farm income, mostly due to higher coffee yield and farm-gate prices. These results reveal the need for policies to support the establishment and encouragement of partnerships for sustainability certifications. The internal control system (ICS) initiated by coffee corporations in implementing the sustainability certifications have improved the trust level between smallholders and global corporations.]]>

<![CDATA[In accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) No. 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth, people with and without disabilities have equal rights to access decent and productive jobs. Furthermore, the fulfillment of the righths of disabled people to decent jobs will help to achieve SDG No. 10 on Reduced Inequality. However, in reality, there are pervasive and persistent barriers for people with disabilities to access the labor market. Using Indonesian data, this study examines labor market exclusion among people with disabilities and identifies the challenges that they face. Our findings on labor force participation, unemployment status, employment status as self-employed or employee in the formal sector, and feeling discouraged to enter the labor market indicate that being disabled is associated with a greater probability of being excluded from the labor market and of feeling discouraged, particularly among unemployed individuals. Various factors, including individual level factors, environmental supports, and government policies, affect the inclusion of disabled people in the labor market. These imply that the governments need to strengthen the affirmative actions and promote disabled people’s capabilities to increase employment opportunities for them. Important measures to improve labor market inclusion among people with disabilities are ensuring that their employment quota is enforced and protecting their rights to access employment, increasing their access to high-quality formal and non-formal education, and increasing their access to credit.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the impacts of coffee agroforestry system and sustainability certification on farmers’ livelihood in Sumatra-Indonesia. The study applies farm-income analysis and quasi-experimental impact evaluations by interviewing 408 coffee farm-households in Lampung Province. Propensity score matching (PSM) adopted here compares some matching characteristics of adopters of coffee agroforestry system and sustainability certification and the control groups. The results show that both coffee agroforestry systems and sustainability certification have positive significant impacts in improving economic benefits and environmental benefits, although the magnitudes slightly differ. Future policy shall provide better alternatives for farmers’ land-use systems that could ensure a better livelihood.]]>
