Abstract

Aim: This study analyzes how land cover affects land surface temperature (LST). Understanding this helps optimize land management, improve agriculture, and address climate change impacts on soil temperature. Methodology and Results: To achieve this objective, the study employs a field experiment and remote sensing analysis to evaluate soil temperature variations. Land surface temperature data from Landsat satellite imagery enabled observation of the spatial distribution of soil temperature. The results indicate that sandy soils experience greater temperature fluctuations compared to clay soils, which are better at retaining heat over time. Conclusion, Significance, and Impact Study: This study confirms that soil texture and moisture content significantly influence land surface temperature dynamics. The findings can be applied to water management planning in the agricultural sector, climate change adaptation strategies, and more effective land use planning. The integration of remote sensing and field data improves the accuracy of large-scale soil temperature monitoring. Building on these results, future studies should specifically focus on quantifying the separate and combined effects of vegetation cover and organic matter content on soil thermal properties to further refine predictive models.

Abstract

Industrial wastewater treatment is increasingly recognized as a strategic sector for climate change mitigation. Integrating carbon credit mechanisms with process engineering solutions offers opportunities to convert pollution control infrastructure into measurable greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction assets by linking greenhouse gas recovery, energy utilization, and environmental compliance. Aim: This study aims to identify emission reduction potential and evaluate how financial incentives from carbon credit markets can enhance the feasibility of wastewater treatment investments for industries, municipalities, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Methodology and results: using Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and mixed-method approach, this study indicates promising results that anaerobic technologies such as Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactors and covered lagoons can remove 70–90% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) while producing recoverable greenhouse gas equivalent to significant Carbon dioxide emissions reductions annually. Compared with conventional aerobic treatment, inclusion of carbon revenue improves project attractiveness, with estimated payback periods between 3 and 7 years. Conclusion, significance and impact study: carbon credit opportunities in wastewater treatment are primary driven by techno-economic ability of process technologies to recover greenhouse gas, reduce emissions, and create economic value. the assessment shows that anaerobic systems provide both environmental improvement and financial returns, making industries more willing to adopt cleaner treatment solutions. The availability of carbon revenue increases the attractiveness of investment and accelerates modernization of existing facilities. Wastewater treatment industry is no longer viewed solely as pollution control units, but as platforms for energy recovery and climate mitigation. The implementation of carbon-oriented wastewater management supports urban environmental protection while strengthening industrial competitiveness. The approach contributes directly on achieving SDG 6.

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to develop an adaptive management and maintenance model for flexible pavement in coastal areas by integrating road condition evaluation, cost analysis, and the effects of seawater immersion. The model is intended to improve maintenance efficiency, extend pavement service life, and support sustainable infrastructure management. Methodology and results: A quantitative and experimental approach was employed. Field surveys assessed pavement conditions using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), Surface Distress Index (SDI), and International Roughness Index (IRI). Asphalt samples were tested in the laboratory under seawater immersion to evaluate strength reduction through Marshall and Indirect Tensile Strength tests. Damage data were integrated with maintenance cost analysis and traffic volume, producing a predictive model using regression and correlation analysis. Initial results indicate that seawater immersion significantly accelerates pavement deterioration and increases maintenance costs compared to normal conditions. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: he proposed model provides a comprehensive framework by considering technical, economic, and environmental factors specific to coastal infrastructure. Findings highlight the importance of condition-based maintenance strategies that are adaptive to climate change and extreme environmental risks. This study contributes to achieving sustainable infrastructure, resilient cities, and climate action for coastal environments.

Abstract

Aim: This study focuses on the main urban corridors of Makassar City and the short-term exposure levels of CO, PM2.5, and TSP resulting from traffic congestion during peak hours. Methodology and Results: Field measurements were conducted along three major corridors: Sultan Alauddin, A.P. Pettarani, and Urip Sumoharjo. The measurements included pollutant concentrations, traffic counts, and weather conditions during both peak and non-peak periods. The study employed a time-series quantitative observational design. The statistical analyses used were Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and the independent-samples t-test. The results revealed correlations of 0.98–0.99 between traffic volume and CO concentrations, and 0.94 for TSP. During peak periods, a strong correlation was observed between vehicle volume and PM2.5 levels, which exceeded WHO limits. TSP concentrations were also noticeably above the acceptable exposure range. CO concentrations were influenced by traffic volume and remained low but significant. Conclusion, Significance, and Impact of the Study: During peak traffic congestion, substantial tailpipe and non-tailpipe emissions are released, leading to the accumulation of pollutants along urban corridors. The implementation of a fully functional multi-corridor and multi-pollutant traffic and air quality monitoring system demonstrates an assessment framework that can be applied in other locations. These findings provide evidence to support sustainable urban transport systems and air quality management strategies, with expected outcomes including time-targeted traffic control and reductions in non-tailpipe emissions. Ultimately, these efforts contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11 and SDG 3) related to improved air quality.
