Abstract

 Domestic waste has been a major problem faced by Indonesia since time immemorial. One of the significant ways to deal with this problem is to implement a system and build an integrated waste management facility. The regional landfill area of Piyungan, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a waste disposal site covering Sleman and Bantul regencies, and Yogyakarta City still experiences complicated problems with this management process. At the landfill, waste management is reduced by the local community through social capital, namely "Mardiko.” Therefore, this study aims to determine the role of social capital in managing the regional landfill area of Piyungan. This is a quantitative and qualitative research with data collected from 200 respondents comprising government officials, community leaders, groups, and community members using the purposive random sampling method. The results showed that the stronger the role of social capital in the community, the better the efforts to serve the environment and the lesser the amount of waste disposed of as residue in the Piyungan regional landfill area. In conclusion, the social capital conducted by the community plays a significant role in managing the environment and reduces waste by 20%.

Abstract

The recurring return of homeless former prisoners to Chow Kit Road each time after being released from prison leads to various key questions. One of which: What is so interesting about Chow Kit Road that it has become a focal point for these homeless former prisoners? Their return to Chow Kit Road illustrates two big pictures, either they have no choice or they see Chow Kit Road as a suitable home for them. The repeated return of the homeless former prisoners indicated that they have developed a form of comfort and pleasure with the place. Hence, we conducted a qualitative study to understand the repetitive migration among the homeless former prisoners by interviewing 30 of them around Chow Kit Road. This study stopped the data collection process when the study's overall findings achieved data saturation. Atlas.ti software was utilised to perform the thematic coding process. This software provides a more systematic coding process. Several strategies were adopted in this study to increase the data's validity and reliability, triangulation, member check, peer review, long period in the field and audit trail. This study involved a larger qualitative sample by offering several diverse themes. Based on the findings, 11 sub-themes were grouped into 4 superordinate themes, namely social, economic and urban infrastructure, services, and personal offer factors. The social offer factor superordinate theme included sub-themes of familiarity with the environment, ease of getting drugs, and concentration of friends who are also former prisoners. Followed by the economic offer factor with the sub-theme of finding a job and easy ways to earn. The sub-themes of the urban infrastructure and service offer factor superordinate theme were access to transportation, plenty of food aid, and easy access to hospitals. While the sub-themes of the personal offer factor included wanting freedom, nowhere else to go, and bringing oneself away from family. These results added to the existing knowledge by considering migrations from chronic and marginal groups, i.e., the homeless former prisoners as study subjects.

Abstract

Optimal management of water resources requires accurate determination of water balance components in each region and Evapotranspiration is one of the most important components of water balance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the spatiotemporal variability of reference evapotranspiration in Lorestan province- western Iran country using the Man-Kendall test and GIS then assess the effect of different climatic parameters on ET0 using multivariate regression. Lorestan province with a 28064 km area in western Iran has 9 synoptic stations including Khorramabad, Boroujerd, Aligouderz, Azna, Doroud, Koohdasht, Poldokhter, Aleshatar, and Noorabad. In this study, meteorological data were used for 9 synoptic stations of the Lorestan in a period from 2001 to 2017. The results showed that at most of the stations and most months, the changing trend was decreasing. The annual decrease in Azna station with Z=-2.73 at 99% level, and in the stations of Aligodarz, Kohdasht, and Doroud with Z equal to -2.27, -2.35, and -2.2, respectively at 95% was significant. The spatial distribution of ET0 showed that the maximum amount of ET0 occurred in the south of Lorestan Province, and decreased from south to north and west to east of the study area. These results indicate the influence of latitude and altitude on the spatial distribution of ET0. The impact of different parameters showed the greatest effect of maximum temperature and wind speed on ET0.

Abstract

This research aimed to identify the economic and cultural factors of migration in Europe within the context of contemporary economic and social realities. To achieve the research objective, a comprehensive multi-stage research project was developed and implemented, incorporating the advantages of statistical analysis, monitoring, rating and summary statistics. The research relied on harmonized and validated statistical data from 48 European countries, divided into four sub-regions, serving as the informational foundation for the study. Using summary statistics on migration factors in the context of economic and cultural factors made it possible to demonstrate the importance of considering cultural human rights in the country’s migration policy. An interpretation of migration practices in Europe by this means enables us to highlight the cultural context as a determining indicator, based on an analysis of objective indicators in the development of migration processes.  Furthermore, the study shows that the high quality of life and cultural attractiveness of the national policy stimulates the migration intentions of a person to seek out countries with more developed economies.The findings of this study hold relevance for policymakers and specialists in public administration, particularly those involved in the regulation and control of migration. Additionally, academic researchers can benefit from the empirical regularities established in this research and the identified prospective avenues for future investigations.

Abstract

Even though urban greenery is crucial in maintaining a healthy and pollution-free environment, metropolitan areas are facing a significant threat from pollution, particularly dust particles. Therefore, this study used the advanced remote sensing techniques to explore the relationship between dust concentration and vegetation cover in Constantine, Algeria. As urban development continues to encroach upon green spaces, pollution, especially dust particles, has emerged as a pressing concern in metropolitan areas. This study used data from USGS and GLOvis for climate analysis, while Landsat images from GEE were employed for accurate mapping. Multiple years of comprehensive datasets were collected, including land cover maps, Aridity Index (AI), precipitation data, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) maps, which underwent thorough analysis. NDVI and Dust Index (DI) were employed to evaluate the impact of vegetation on dust concentration. The result showed that the presence of vegetation directly affects dust levels, and DI exhibits variations over time in relation to the values of NDVI. This study highlights the critical significance of preserving and enhancing urban greenery to mitigate dust pollution and foster a healthier environment.

Abstract

The Orang Kayo Hitam Grand Forest Park is located in Jambi Province, Indonesia, and is currently threatened by illegal logging and natural fire forest that has burned 7,984.78 hectares. Therefore, this research aims to improve community perceptions of the conservation function of the Orang Kayo Hitam. This can be achieved by providing conservation books on the Orang Kayo Hitam to the community, creating a demonstration video, and increasing community income through a partnership pattern by planting in utilization zones. The non-parametric statistical difference T-test was used, which involved a survey and training approach on 93 households living near the Grand Forest Park. This method was used to assess changes in the perception of the community after reading books, watching videos, and collaborating on counseling. The results showed that the perception of the community changed significantly after receiving knowledge from books and watching videos about the Grand Forest Park. There was also a shift in public perception regarding the use of the conservation zone at the Grand Forest Park location via collaboration counseling.

Abstract

Climate change directly affects crop yields as a measure of food availability by, for example, causing harvest failure. El Niño and La Niña are two weather patterns affecting the climate of Indonesia, a country at low latitudes, and reportedly increasing its vulnerability to food insecurity. This research was designed to analyze climate change impact on food availability in the Province of Kalimantan Utara using secondary data(temperature, rainfall, and agricultural production) as the base data. It employed quantitative descriptive analysis to explain the study results expressed in maps, tables, and graphs and the regression technique to determine climate change impact on food availability. The regression analysis revealed that climate change significantly shaped the availability of rice (0.008) and vegetable commodity (0.000) but posed insignificanteffects on tubers, legumes, and fruits. Apart from climate change, food availability also depends on land management, land suitability, capital, technology, and cultivated plant variety

Abstract

Aquaculture practices in developing countries, particularly Indonesia, are currently operating without effective control measures, leading to high tidal and other climate-related issues. Therefore, this study aimed to modify Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) assessment to evaluate the physical vulnerability of coastal areas in Indramayu Regency, West Java (62 sections) to tidal flooding (Rob). A total of 6 primary characteristics, including geomorphology, beach slope, water level rise sea, coastline alterations, tidal range, and high tide, as well as 2 additional parameters, namely land cover and mangrove breadth, were used for analysis. Based on the evaluation, CVI was divided into four groups, including (1) low, (2) moderate, (3) high, and (4) very high. The results showed that Indramayu District struggled to recover from tidal flooding, with 24.56%, 22.13%, 41.03%, and 12.28% being placed in the very high, high, moderate, and low categories. This underscored the role of local governments in improving coastal communities' capacity to respond to tidal flooding disasters. Furthermore, the results were expected to be used by local governments to enhance disaster mitigation systems, particularly for coastal areas in developing nations with comparable ecological conditions.

Abstract

Lukulo is a river that flows through pre-tertiary rocks to the recent. The long Lukulo fluvial processes which included erosion, transportation, and deposition were depicted in extensive alluvial deposits downstream of the river. This vast alluvial plain may be a deposit result of the Lukulo flood in the past. The paleo-flood study is a study of flood events in the past with the technique used, namely knowing slack water deposits (Steding & Baker, 1987). Delineation of slackwater deposits is necessary to determine the location of paleoflood deposition. Geomorphology of Lukulo watershed is needed as a preliminary study to determine the characteristics of the Lukulo watershed. Based on the analysis of the Lukulo watershed, DEM, with the systematic method of literature review, the result of this watershed geomorphology was obtained, namely; the morphology of the Lukulo watershed included an elongated oblong shape of the watershed, with an average Rc value of all three segments (upstream, middle, and downstream) of 0,52. The average drainage density (Dd) of river flows in the Lukulo watershed is 8,05 km/km2 (middle class). The Lukulo gradient upstream is 450, entering the middle is reduced to 300, and downstream the gradient is reduced to 100. The morphology and morphometry of the Lukulo watershed are interpreted to mean that Lukulo belongs to the medium-spanned watershed in terms of flood runoff and erosion. The lithology is a mixture of impermeable and permeable rocks. Delineation of diluvial and alluvial deposits is found in the upstream, middle, and downstream, of the Lukulo river. It depicts delineated paleoflood deposits in all segments of the river.

Abstract

Coastal environmet dynamics study is one of the NPP site feseability studies that need to be conducted to understand the potential external risk in an NPP development. The Pantai Gosong area was the preferred potential site for the NPP development and was located in the coastal area. Therefore, external factors such as abrasion or sedimentation would influence the NPP site. This research studied the sedimentation pattern of the Pantai Gosong coastal area based on the landform analysis. The results showed that the landform in the Pantai Gosong area was classified as a highly eroded hill, lowly eroded footplain, natural levee-back swamp, beach ridge, alluvial plain, and coastal alluvial plain. The sedimentation process in the northern coastal area of Pantai Gosong that has lowly eroded footplain landform was more intense than in the southern part. The analysis was well correlated with the estimated sediment thickness from the microtremor method analysis that showed that the northern coastal area has higher sediment deposits with 12.7 to 21.7 m of thickness than the southern coastal area with 3.2 to 12.6 m thickness. The northern footplain in the Pantai Gosong coastal area was expected to have higher sedimentation than the southern part continuously
