Sustainability Science and Resources
The journal aims to provide a scholarly forum for the dissemination and exchange of research and developments in biological, physical, and social sciences pertinent to sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It encourages an interdisciplinary approach to sciences that advances our understanding of the complex interaction between human and natural resources affecting the earth’s life support systems. It also promotes academic, policy, and practical work addressing the dynamic equilibrium of the economic, environmental, and social pillars of sustainability. The journal publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries.

<![CDATA[One of the Sustainable Development Goals is Climate Action, meaning taking immediate actions to combat climate change and its impacts. This study evaluates the potentials of Indonesian traditional houses in helping mitigating climate change in the tropics. As a case study, the author analyses the designs of Kudus traditional house built primarily in the old city of Kudus, the province of Central Java, Indonesia. The study employs qualitative research, making use of primary data from field observations and interviews. Field observations were carried out to identify design elements of the traditional houses, while interviews were undertaken to obtain data and information on how the designs deal with climate problems. The results show that the Kudus traditional houses are designed in such a way that minimizes the need for air conditioning and energy uses given the hot tropical climate. The designs include the following: (1) building masses are built with an open yard in the middle of the masses’ configuration; (2) building masses are extended from north to south direction; (3) optimization of openings, for lighting and ventilation, on the walls and the roof of the building; (4) The use of a sloping roof with a wide eaves. Although the climate has changed, the traditional Kudus house is still comfortable to use for activities. This proves that the traditional Kudus house is still relevant in responding to the local climate.]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting has for decades become a serious development problem in Indonesia. In 2022 President Joko Widodo sets a target of reducing stunting prevalence rate from 30.8% in 2018 to 14% in 2024. A key program in the Indonesian government’s strategies to achieve this goal is a massive public education campaign on stunting. This article provides a review of the communication approach adopted by the government in its social media campaign via Twitter. The results show that various government institutions have adopted the persuasive communcation approach in doing so. A grass-root community survey is needed to assess the campaign’s effectiveness.]]>

<![CDATA[Sustainability certification are increasingly demanded in the global coffee trade, but its economic and poverty alleviation effects for smallholder farmers are still poorly understood. We study these effects using cross-sectional household data obtained from a survey of 320 farm households from four districts in the coffee-producing provinces of Lampung and Aceh in Indonesia. We combine a monetary expenditure approach with a non-monetary approach. Both approaches reveal information on the number of respondents that can be considered poor, as well as on the intensity of poverty experienced by them. In terms of non-monetary approach, we refer to multidimensional poverty index (MPI) that identifies deprivations in education, health and standards of living. In terms of monetary approach, we examine poverty gap index that measure coffee farmers’ expenditure lies below the poverty line. We compare between certified and conventional (non-certified) coffee farmers. The results show that economic benefits contributing to poverty alleviation can be gained from coffee certification. The differences in the value of poverty measurements between certified and conventional farmers are small but statistically significant. Certified farmers are found to be less frequently poor compared to conventional farmers. There is no significant difference on the intensity of poverty for both groups of smallholder farmers. Given these results, certification is not a highly recommended strategy for poverty alleviation among smallholder coffee farmers in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper addresses the critical question of how to turn climate concern into climate action as we move forward towards the 1.5 degree Celsius global warming target adopted by COP 26 in 2021 and reaffirmed by COP 27 in 2022. It argues that it has taken scientists more than a Century to accept, first: that climate change is real and second: that it is anthropogenic. Scientists still continue to debate the precise effects of greenhouse gases on weather, fires, floods and food security. Climate optimists continue to rely on the search for new miracle technologies, such as fusion energy or carbon capture. This is all very good. But this is the easy part. What is more critical is to motivate people towards collective action in pursuit of a zero-emission target. This requires harnessing the art of fostering humanist, economically just, collective action rooted in local commitment and transparency. The real challenge of sustainability today is to turn science into art. We do not have over a century and half, as the scientists did to practice this art. Repeatedly, pointing to climate change apocalypse will not be enough.]]>

<![CDATA[COVID-19 has had a significant impact on food supply chains at both domestic and global levels. At the same time, Indonesia's food security index experienced a significant decline. This study presents an exploratory approach-based research review aiming at identifying problems occurring along food supply chain post COVID-19 pandemic, and at examining possible policies, studies and research needed to improve food security. In addition to relevant previous studies, the authors analysed data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Bank of Indonesia (BI). A number of problems and issues pertinent to Indonesia’s food supply chain that may adversely affect food security are identified and a post COVID-19 “exit strategy” to strengthen food supply chain is explored.]]>
