Abstract

Since the escalation of large-scale conflict in October 2023, severe destruction of civilian infrastructure has occurred in the Gaza Strip, including the collapse of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) systems. This breakdown has rapidly triggered a public health emergency with short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Short-term impacts included marked increases in infectious diseases such as diarrhea and hepatitis A, acute malnutrition, and elevated risks to maternal and child health. Medium-term impacts involved ecological degradation through groundwater contamination and sanitation system failure, which in turn contributed to rising clean-water prices and widening socio-economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting women and children. Long-term impacts generated intergenerational risks, including the potential emergence of a “lost generation” due to stunting and increased global health security concerns associated with transboundary disease spread. Comparative evidence from Yemen, Syria, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Indonesia (Aceh and Papua) indicates similar epidemiological patterns, in which WASH destruction is associated with cyclical epidemics, malnutrition, and deepening structural vulnerability. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a review of academic literature, international organizational reports, policy documents, and credible media sources, this study systematically examines the implications of WASH system collapse for public health in Gaza during the ongoing genocide. The analysis develops a conceptual framework that positions the WASH crisis not only as a humanitarian concern but also as a public health emergency with regional and global ramifications. On this basis, the study concludes that effective WASH reconstruction should be prioritized as a humanitarian and global health security strategy and integrated with nutrition, maternal–child health, and social protection programs. The findings also underscore the need for comprehensive international policy responses and reinforce arguments for recognizing the protection of WASH infrastructure as a fundamental human right in armed conflict.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji Program Angkringan Harapan sebagai studi kasus pemberdayaan komunitas rentan di Kabupaten Klaten. Program ini merupakan kolaborasi antara Yayasan Baitul Maal (YBM) BRILiaN dan Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) Dompet Sejuta Harapan (DSH), yang menyediakan modal usaha berupa gerobak angkringan, disertai pelatihan dan pendampingan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus, yang melibatkan wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, serta studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program ini meningkatkan pendapatan penerima manfaat yang bertahan dari rata-rata Rp50.000–Rp100.000 menjadi Rp150.000–Rp200.000 per hari. Namun, terdapat tingkat putus program (dropout) sebesar 50%, yang sebagian besar disebabkan oleh keterbatasan konsistensi dan ketekunan penerima manfaat. Program ini mengintegrasikan zakat produktif dengan potensi budaya lokal, dalam hal ini angkringan, yang dinilai mempercepat adaptasi dan partisipasi masyarakat. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya penguatan pendampingan non-ekonomi, seperti pelatihan motivasi dan pengelolaan usaha, serta menunjukkan potensi program serupa dalam mendukung pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), khususnya pengentasan kemiskinan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi inklusif.

Abstract

Health literacy plays an important role in shaping healthy behaviors among adolescents; however, the level of health literacy among junior high school students in Indonesia remains low. Initial assessments at Muhammadiyah Kendari Junior High School indicated that most students (73%) had insufficient knowledge of health information and rarely used health books as learning resources. This study aimed to improve students’ health literacy through a health book exhibition intervention conducted as part of community service activities. The study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 30 students at SMP Muhammadiyah Kendari. The intervention was implemented through a health book exhibition featuring popular health books, educational visual media, and active reading assistance sessions. Health literacy was measured before and after the intervention using a structured measurement instrument. The results indicated a significant increase in students’ understanding, with the average post-test score increasing by 43.3% compared with the pre-test score. The paired t-test yielded a p-value of 0.000. The findings suggest that health book exhibitions may be effective as a contextual and easily applicable promotive education strategy in school settings. This approach has the potential to serve as a sustainable health literacy intervention model for junior high schools.

Abstract

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has profoundly disrupted the educational landscape, creating significant challenges for institutions such as the University College of Applied Sciences (UCAS). This study examines how Israel’s war on Gaza has affected UCAS staff, with particular attention to displacement, property loss, and psychological trauma. To address this objective, the study employed a quantitative survey approach to assess the extent of material and personal losses among academic and administrative personnel. Analysis of data from 192 staff members revealed that 93% experienced displacement, 53% lost all property, and 43% lost a family member. The findings indicate that these multifaceted losses substantially strained staff members’ ability to sustain their personal lives and academic responsibilities. These patterns reflect a systematic assault characterised as scholasticide—the targeted destruction of educators, academic environments, and the structures that sustain educational continuity—and educide, defined as the systemic dismantling of institutional infrastructure and educational continuity. This dual framework highlights how the destruction extends beyond incidental damage, aiming to erase educational continuity, community resilience, and academic identity in Gaza. Despite these challenges, UCAS staff demonstrated notable resilience. The study underscores the urgent need for global action to rebuild Gaza’s educational sector and to support displaced educators.

Abstract

Plastics and plastic-based products are increasingly used for various purposes alongside technological, industrial, and population growth because they are lightweight, strong, flexible, easily molded, corrosion-resistant, easy to color, effective thermal and electrical insulators, and relatively affordable. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of governmental mitigation efforts in addressing waste-related threats through plastic waste management. The results indicate that Indonesia generates approximately 3.2 million tons of plastic waste entering the oceans annually, positioning it as the second-largest contributor globally after China. Consequently, Indonesia is the largest contributor of plastic waste in Southeast Asia, with plastic materials requiring hundreds of years to degrade. Excessive plastic waste adversely affects human health and the environment and may eventually lead to hazards such as flooding as well as air and soil pollution. Therefore, mitigation through effective plastic waste management is necessary to reduce the risks associated with excessive waste. Such mitigation may be implemented through technological, social, economic, cultural, and institutional approaches. Technological approaches include the application of pyrolysis, hydrothermal methods, and the use of environmentally friendly raw materials. Social and cultural approaches encompass public awareness activities and community engagement. The circular economy framework may also be applied as an economic approach. The institutional approach involves the participation of central and local governments in implementing existing policies and regulations, as well as formulating new regulatory measures aimed at reducing plastic waste.

Abstract

Ketersediaan fasilitas layanan kesehatan primer yang merata masih menjadi tantangan utama dalam pembangunan wilayah di Indonesia Timur, termasuk Kota Ambon. Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 43 Tahun 2019 telah menetapkan kriteria lokasi pembangunan Puskesmas, namun belum mengatur prioritas antar kriteria tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis prioritas bobot kriteria kesesuaian lokasi Puskesmas di Kota Ambon menggunakan metode Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA). Metode ini mengakomodasi penilaian subjektif pakar ke dalam bobot kuantitatif yang digunakan untuk menyusun urutan prioritas kriteria. Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 42 praktisi kesehatan di Kota Ambon, yang selanjutnya dianalisis melalui empat tahapan utama metode SWARA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemudahan akses jalan (W1 = 0,2308), pengelolaan limbah B3 (W2 = 0,2098), dan jarak aman dari sumber pencemaran (W3 = 0,1748) merupakan kriteria dengan bobot tertinggi. Sementara itu, kriteria administratif, seperti kepemilikan lahan dan kedekatan dengan permukiman, memiliki bobot terendah (<0,001), yang menunjukkan bahwa faktor teknis dan lingkungan memiliki peran yang lebih dominan. Temuan ini memberikan dasar yang kuat bagi perencanaan spasial serta pengambilan keputusan lokasi pembangunan Puskesmas yang lebih objektif dan adaptif terhadap kondisi lokal. Hasil pembobotan ini juga dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam sistem informasi geografis (GIS) sebagai instrumen perencanaan spasial berbasis data.

Abstract

Provinsi Jawa Barat merupakan salah satu wilayah di Indonesia dengan tingkat kerentanan bencana yang sangat tinggi. Kondisi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh kompleksitas geografis dan geologis, laju urbanisasi yang pesat, serta keberadaan sesar aktif. Dalam menghadapi risiko tersebut, diperlukan pendekatan penanggulangan bencana yang bersifat proaktif dan berkelanjutan, tidak semata-mata reaktif. Artikel ini mengkaji penerapan model kolaborasi Pentahelix yang mencakup lima elemen utama, yaitu pemerintah, akademisi, pelaku usaha, komunitas, dan media. Pemerintah, melalui Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD), berperan penting dalam perumusan kebijakan, pengalokasian anggaran, dan pembentukan Desa Tangguh Bencana (Destana). Akademisi berkontribusi melalui kegiatan riset, pemetaan risiko, dan edukasi kebencanaan. Pelaku usaha mendukung upaya mitigasi melalui pendanaan CSR, dukungan logistik, dan inovasi. Komunitas lokal memiliki peran sentral dalam mitigasi berbasis kearifan lokal, peningkatan kesiapsiagaan, dan penguatan jejaring sosial. Media berkontribusi dalam penyebaran informasi, edukasi publik, serta mobilisasi bantuan. Kolaborasi multipihak ini diharapkan mampu memperkuat sistem mitigasi bencana secara terpadu serta menjadikan penanggulangan bencana sebagai bagian dari budaya dan sistem tata kelola pembangunan yang berkelanjutan.
