Abstract

This study analyzes the potential of Indonesia's technological approach to control subsidized fuels. To achieve its objective, the study employs both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Quantitatively, the research seeks to estimate the potential value of inefficiently targeted fuel subsidies and assess the potential fiscal savings achievable through diverse fuel restriction measures. In this case, the study carried out four simulations to assess the impact of fuel consumption controls. Meanwhile, the qualitative analysis aims to delve into details of Indonesia's technological infrastructure used to control the consumption of subsidized fuels. Furthermore, the study investigates the key challenges and successes associated with Indonesia's technological approach to control subsidized fuels. This study contributes insights into achieving fairness in fuel regulatory policies while calculating fiscal savings and the potential of technology-driven solutions. While promising, ongoing challenges of MyPertamina necessitate further improvements for optimal functionality in assignment fuels (JBKP) distribution. This research informs discussions on equitable and technologically-driven energy policy solutions in the context of achieving global climate goals and local economic dynamics.

Abstract

This paper questions two fundamental political foundations for climate action: that there is but one common humanity and that global warming is the most critical and immediate threat to the survival of humankind. It further argues that the philosophical foundations of climate action lack depth and precision. While ‘climate justice’ appears center-stage to climate action, its conceptual basis remains weak because it has failed to integrate the enormous work done on justice, human rights, equality, governance, democracy and civil society since the mid 19th century. In fact, ‘climate justice’ only makes sense as a part of an overall framework of equality rather than something sui generis. On a political campaign level, this paper argues that too much attention has been paid to global conferences such as the series of COPs culminating in the most recent COP 28 in Dubai. Much less has been done on charting how the dialogue surrounding climate action today is affected by the emergence of global corporations, rapid urbanization, growth of middle-class consumption and the growth of megacities especially in Asia. The paper suggests that it would be more fruitful to focus on the local/community and regional levels to promote familiar technologies and conservation practices rather than on global conferences and their associated statements.

Abstract

Since the last few years, environmental issues related to global warming and increasing earth surface temperatures have had an influence on various fields. This environmental issue also affects the micro and macro climate. Architecturally, design can respond to changes in microclimate with passive design and active design. Passive design has long been applied to vernacular architecture, namely responding to local conditions in buildings. Meanwhile, active design is related to the latest technology and developments, such as energy-saving technology, as well as the use of natural elements as energy sources. This research uses quantitative methods. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire to determine the tendency of residents' perceptions of passive design. The analysis of this research is descriptive statistics, based on the answers of 35 respondents who live in simple houses in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The research results showed that respondents' tendency towards passive design was shown in several things, namely: additional elements of the building at the front (canopy) can reduce heat and create shadow areas, the location and size of openings can support natural lighting and ventilation. Openings can be doors, windows, grilles, rosters and other elements. The existence of open space at the front and back of the house can reduce heat and cool the microclimate.

Abstract

This study examines traditional ecological knowledge and tree planting practices in Legambo District, Ethiopia, focusing on local farmers' preferred tree species and their frost management techniques. With only two percent forest cover and significant frost affecting seedling survival, understanding these practices is vital for sustainable land management. Using a multistage sampling method, data were gathered from 42 households through interviews, questionnaires, and observations. The findings indicate that Eucalyptus globulus is the most favored tree species, accounting for 52% of planted trees, primarily in woodlots. The research underscores the serious impact of frost on young seedlings, especially on degraded hillsides, where farmers report high mortality rates. Additionally, various traditional frost management strategies were identified, such as mulching, building protective barriers, and careful watering. These practices reflect a deep understanding of local ecological conditions and highlight the need to combine traditional knowledge with modern forestry techniques. The study's implications extend beyond Legambo, contributing to broader discussions on sustainable land management in frost-affected areas of Ethiopia. It emphasizes the critical relationship between ecological factors and local agricultural methods, illustrating how farmers address environmental challenges. By investigating tree species selection and frost resilience, the research calls for adaptive management strategies suited to the region's needs. To improve tree survival and rehabilitate degraded areas, the study offers key recommendations, including regular monitoring of seedlings under one year, targeted training for farmers on frost management, and fostering community engagement to share successful practices. Ensuring access to quality planting materials is also essential. By encouraging collaboration among local communities, policymakers, and forestry practitioners, the study aims to bolster sustainable forestry efforts aligned with the region's ecological and socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

Indonesia has a very large waqf potential, namely 57,763 hectares of land spread across 440,512 locations. Likewise, the potential for cash waqf reaches IDR 180 trillion per year. Another fact is that the majority of Indonesia's population, namely 87.08 percent or around 245,973,915 people, are Muslim. However, the large number of Muslims in Indonesia is not directly proportional to the absorption of waqf potential. From 2010 to 2020, only IDR 391 billion in cash waqf funds were collected. It was only in 2021 to 2023 that there was a spike in the absorption of cash waqf to IDR 2.3 trillion in 2023. This study aims to examine the role of literacy in increasing awareness of waqf for sustainable development. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive analysis method. The data sources used in this study are statements from figures or officials, documents, data on the absorption of cash waqf, and laws and regulations on waqf in Indonesia. The results show that literacy is very important and has a great influence on the absorption of cash waqf potential in Indonesia. The community will be motivated to make waqf when they have sufficient knowledge about waqf. It is hoped that this study can be an input for policy makers to further improve literacy strategies so that the large potential of waqf in Indonesia can be maximally absorbed.

Abstract

This paper investigates key sectors that can drive sustainable development. Generally, obtaining sustainable development in identifying key sectors for development based on their output multiplier and CO2 emission elasticity. However, one aspect that forgotten is social inclusivity. The present paper has identified seven key sectors with high output multipliers, low CO2 emissions, and try to simulate the potential impact on income distribution. By simulating investment shocks in these sectors, the present authors try to assess their impact on inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and income distribution that meaning social justice within the sustainable development framework. While prioritizing green economy sectors as key drivers can be beneficial, however, there is potential negative impacts on income distribution. Hence, it is recommended that the policy drives green economy sectors by promoting sustainable growth, resource use efficiency, and social inclusivity. This aligns with the core principles of a green economy, ensuring a future that is prosperous, equitable, and environmentally sound.
