Abstract

Groundwater is a natural resource used by humans to fulfil their living needs which should meet the Republik Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation No. 2/2023. Aim: This research aims to contribute to solve these challenges and meet the clean water quality standard. Methodology and Results: The groundwater sample was taken from the deep well of Al-Hikmah Mosque, Universitas Negeri Malang (UM). It was indicated to contain Fe and Mn, as evidenced by its yellowish colour when left undisturbed for some time. A laboratory-scale experiment was conducted for the deep well treatment and analysis. The treatment system consists of aeration, sedimentation, and filtration. The filtration unit comprises several natural media such as gravel, silica sand, zeolite, and activated charcoal. This experiment used detention times of 120 and 240 minutes as dependent variables. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The results showed that detention times of 120 and 240 min have efficiency on turbidity reduction of 92.86% and 98.69%, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of 10.42% and 14.47%, Fe of 23.01%, Mn of 62.39% and 94.70%, and for CaCO3 of 2.98% and 11.17%, respectively. The research findings demonstrated that a detention time of 240 min generated water quality that met the Minister of Health No. 2/2023 standards. Detention times of 120 minutes and 240 minutes led to significant differences in water quality concerning temperature and CaCO3. The filtration system with a detention time of 240 minutes can be considered as an alternative groundwater treatment solution for the deep well of Al-Hikmah Mosque, Universitas Negeri Malang.

Abstract

Bioplastic is a plastic that is easily decomposed naturally by the activity of microorganisms without leaving toxic residues because of its that can return to nature. Aim: This study aim to examine the quality of bioplastics from variations of tapioca starch and rice waste raw materials for optimal composition. Methodology and Results: The method used is by mixing the raw material of tapioca starch waste and rice waste with variations in the composition of the material; 100% rice waste, 100% tapioca starch waste, 30% tapioca starch waste: 70% rice waste, 50% tapioca starch waste: 50% rice waste, 70% tapioca starch waste: 30% rice waste. Add 10 mL of glycerol, 30 mL of distilled water, 40 mL of acetate solvent, and 40 ml of 96% ethanol. The product will be tested on a laboratory scale for tensile strength, elongation at break, FTIR tests, and biodegradation according to SNI 7188.7:2016 for the bioplastic category that is easily biodegradable. The result shows that the optimal composition was found in the composition of 100% rice waste raw material with the quality of the tensile strength test results of 3,45 MPa, the value of elongation at break 3,8%, and the value of biodegradation 100%. The resulting bioplastics contain functional groups O-H (hydroxyl) bonded to hydrogen, C-H (alkanes), C≡C (alkynes), esters, simple aromatic compounds, C-O (carboxyl), C=C (alkenes), and hydrocarbons -(CH2)n. Conclusion, significance, and impact of study:  The use of starch to produce biodegradable materials is because it is environmentally friendly, easily degraded, available in large quantities, and affordable, moreover, the bioplastics derived from these waste sources are typically biodegradable, meaning they can break down into natural compounds under certain conditions, reducing environmental pollution.

Abstract

Construction projects have caused significant disruption in urban areas. Despite the need to limit the environmental impacts of construction operations, stakeholders often fall short, resulting in negative consequences for nearby residents. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of various construction activities on residents of the UCC and CCTU campuses in the Cape Coast North Metropolis, Ghana. Methodology and Results: Using a stratified and random sample of 100 residential houses from the University of Cape Coast and Cape Coast Technical University, questionnaires were administered to residents in university-owned dormitories, private hostels, and faculty/staff housing. Data were analysed using Excel and IBM SPSS, focusing on modelling the relationship between variables and assessing their influence. The results indicated that construction operations impacted the environment and residents of the Cape Coast North Metropolis. The R and R Square values indicated that construction activities affected residents' responses. Meanwhile, the adjusted R Square accounted for the complexity of the model, with a standard error measuring the average prediction error. The constant term was considered significant, representing the expected value when all predictors were zero. Conclusion, significance, and impact: From initial ground disturbance to eventual decommissioning, construction projects can lead to soil degradation, habitat destruction, and increased carbon emissions. There is a need to prioritise sustainable and resident-friendly construction practices by incorporating responsible construction methods that mitigate the negative impacts on both residents and the environment. Continuous evaluation will enable better management and improvement of construction processes, leading to stakeholder benefits. Policymakers should explore eco-friendly building techniques, considering construction impacts.

Abstract

The United Nations Statistical Commission agreed in March 2020 to start using the Degree of Urbanisation as a method to delineate cities, urban, and rural areas to enable international statistical comparisons. The decision consequently promotes countries to change or align their classification and/or methods of urbanisation delineation. This is expected to increase the number of studies with “degree of urbanisation” or “urban classification” keywords around the world in line with the implementation of the method. Aim: This study aims to determine the research trends on the degree of urbanisation in the Scopus database from the year 2013 to 2022. Methodology and results: The bibliometric method was applied through the VOSviewer software (version 1.6.18. Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands) for the analysis. The findings showed that the topics related to the degree of urbanization are underrepresented in terms of the number of publications and contributing nations though the trend in the number of articles published in the Scopus database has annually increased from 2017-2021. Conclusion, significance and impact study: This implies there is a lot of potential regarding the publication of studies on the concept of “degree of urbanization”

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to find the perceptions of these stakeholders towards sustainable forest city branding in the relocation of the Ibu Kota Negara-IKN (National Capital City) of the Nusantara (archipelago) to Kalimantan through a study in Manado City as one of the buffer cities of the IKN Nusantara. Methodology and Results: The research method is descriptive and justified by correlational research method. The population in this study were stakeholders involved in urban life activities from various backgrounds. A sample of 30 respondents representing urban pentahelix stakeholders residing in the city of Manado was identified randomly and determined purposively. This research is conducted on the existing city pentahelix stakeholders and encourages the sustainability of development and the city environment itself. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The results showed that pentahelix stakeholders' understanding of sustainable forest city branding is understood by all pentahelix-based stakeholders. At the next level, whether these stakeholders understand and agree to implement what the sustainable forest city program is, the level of agreement of the respondents is above 70 percent.  But then whether the content of sustainable forest city branding already exists, there is a decrease in understanding by these stakeholders. For this reason, intervention is needed in the form of socialization of more massive sustainable forest city branding so that it is understood by each pentahelix stakeholder so that collaboration can be improved with the hope of being able to improve the quality of the IKN itself and the surrounding cities of this IKN.

Abstract

Innovations in material technology are expected to reduce the use of commercial cement and replace it with other environmentally friendly materials with the same performance as normal concrete. Aim: This study aim to analyze the mechanical property of High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete (HVFAC) using F class fly ash with different mix percentages. Methodology and Results: The experiment was conducted in laboratory scale. Four variations of test specimens consisted of: 1 variation (F0), which is conventional concrete with 100% Portland cement as control specimen, and three variations of HVFC (F70, F80, and F90), which were made with fly ash content (%) 70, 80, and 90 of total cementitious. Fresh concrete testing to determine workability, while hard concrete testing is done by density and compressive strength tests at the age of 3, 7, and 28 days on specimens that have been treated with the water submerged curing method. Conclusion, significance, and impact of study: All HVFAC specimens fulfill the Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) category. The compressive strength test results at 28 days showed that the addition of fly ash percentage caused a decrease in compressive strength values in all HVFAC variants, but still exceeded the minimum requirements of high and medium quality concrete. All HVFAC variations meet the requirements of ASTM C618-23 based on the evaluation of Strength Activity Index (SAI) values at 7 and 28 days of age. The utilization of 90% fly ash as a cement substitute resulted in an environmentally friendly concrete product based on the concept of cleaner production.
