Abstract

It is important to recognize that horticultural products not only meet our nutritional needs but also support economic and ecological well-being. Beyond their nutritional aspects, horticultural products also have a positive impact on the environment. The planting of ornamental trees, flowers, and urban gardens helps absorb carbon dioxide, filter air pollution, and create habitats for wildlife. The spoilage of horticultural products is a complex and significant issue in the agricultural industry and food supply chain. In the context of global food security, food waste caused by the spoilage of horticultural products is a serious problem. The preservation of horticultural products using ozone technology is an innovative approach that has gained attention for extending shelf life, reducing damage from pathogenic microorganisms, and maintaining the quality and freshness of the products. This paper seeks the latest information on the use of ozone in the preservation of horticultural products and the challenges associated with it. The study employs a literature review method as the primary approach to data collection. Ozone (O3), a form of oxygen with strong oxidative properties, has proven to be highly effective in combating pathogenic microorganisms, eliminating unwanted odors, and extending the shelf life of horticultural products. However, despite its significant benefits, the use of ozone must be carried out with caution to avoid potential negative impacts on humans and the environment.

Abstract

The management of small islands in border areas, especially those bordering neighboring countries, is carried out to maintain the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia, safeguard national defense and security, improve the welfare of local communities, and develop business opportunities through bilateral cooperation. Another urgent consideration is the complex biogeophysical characteristics of small islands. As mentioned by Agus Dermawan in his presentation, these biogeophysical characteristics include: a) Being separated from the mainland, making them insular; b) Lacking a hinterland and being close to the coast; c) Unable to influence marine hydroclimate; d) Having small catchment areas; e) Limited freshwater sources, catchment areas, and food crops; f) The existence of small islands is influenced by coral reef ecosystems, mangrove forests, and seagrass beds; g) They are highly vulnerable to climate change, both natural and human-induced. Addressing the challenges of coastal areas and small islands from a geographical approach involves the availability of fast, accurate, and objective data. Data is crucial in determining the direction and strategy of policies in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of comprehensive development, particularly for small islands. To meet these needs, the Geography Education Program at Pattimura University and its graduates, including stakeholders, can prioritize several career and policy fields in the era of Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and Society 5.0. These fields include: 1. Satellite imagery and remote sensing analysis; 2. Map production: remote sensing results and satellite image processing; 3. Urban spatial planning analysts, planners, and surveyors; 4. Transportation sector analysts and workers; 5. Edupreneurship; 6. Environmental management; 7. Private sector roles; 8. Disaster management; 9. Tour guides; 10. Environmental destination journalism

Abstract

This study compares the red cherry coffee harvesting method and the mixed-maturity coffee harvesting method in Suban Ayam Village, Rejang Lebong Regency, with an emphasis on farm income. The maturity of coffee cherries at harvest, particularly in the form of red cherry picking or various other stages of ripeness, results in coffee with different characteristics. The research aims to analyze the economic and cultural differences between these coffee harvesting methods. Primary data were collected through observations and direct interviews with farmers using questionnaires. Data analysis involved evaluating production costs, revenue and income, and R/C ratios, as well as comparing profits and expenses. The results show significant differences in production costs between red cherry coffee and mixed-maturity coffee, with red cherry coffee having lower production costs. The revenue from red cherry coffee was also higher per unit area per year, resulting in higher net income. Both methods have an R/C ratio greater than 1, indicating that both are feasible and profitable, but the R/C ratio for red cherry coffee (8.70) is higher, demonstrating its economic superiority. With the same land area and planting area, red cherry coffee has an R/C ratio of 7.6, indicating higher efficiency in generating greater income. These findings reflect the advantage for coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village in using the red cherry coffee harvesting method. In conclusion, the red cherry harvesting method is more profitable in terms of income and economic efficiency compared to the mixed-maturity method. These results reflect the preference of coffee farmers in Suban Ayam Village for the red cherry method, which is more financially advantageous.

Abstract

Indonesia, home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, plays a vital ecological, socio-economic, and socio-cultural role. Mangrove forests, as tropical coastal vegetation communities, grow in tidal areas, providing coastal protection, fish resources, and various ecological benefits. However, mangrove forests are vulnerable to damage from human activities, such as overexploitation and waste disposal. Development demands, particularly the conversion of mangrove forests, lead to ecosystem degradation. Physical, chemical, biological, and socio-economic factors contribute to this damage, with oil pollution and waste disposal posing severe threats. The importance of conservation and sustainable management is emphasized to maintain the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems. This research employs qualitative methods with descriptive and experimental approaches. The descriptive approach is used to understand the research object in its natural conditions, while the experiment is conducted systematically and planned to prove theories. The research approach involves a combination of quantitative methods and qualitative interviews to understand the interaction of research variables deeply. Based on the research findings, factors that need to be considered in mangrove areas include physical, chemical, biological, and social aspects. Physical and chemical parameters, such as temperature, salinity, and water quality, meet the maximum allowable standards. However, there is an increase in heavy metals, mainly dissolved oil, which could threaten the health of the mangrove ecosystem. Changes in mangrove species were also detected, indicating a threat to the sustainability of mangrove plants. Social issues, such as indiscriminate disposal of plastic waste, wood, and glass shards, cause blockages and hinder mangrove growth. Therefore, efforts for protection and sustainable management are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the area.

Abstract

Indonesia is facing a severe issue of child malnutrition with high rates of stunting among toddlers, particularly in coastal areas like Pulau Osi Maluku. Stunting is caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a long period. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains high, although it is decreasing. Preventive efforts include promoting the habit of eating vegetables, providing health education to parents, and developing hydroponics as a solution for vegetable supply in areas with limited land. Education and collaboration between the government and the community are crucial in addressing stunting and improving the quality of life for children in coastal areas. The research was conducted in Pulau Osi Hamlet, Maluku, using purposive sampling with mothers as subjects. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was done using qualitative methods to describe the research findings systematically. In Pulau Osi Hamlet, efforts to combat stunting and meet vegetable needs were undertaken through education using the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) method, involving 35 participants. Vegetable consumption patterns varied and were influenced by knowledge, education, and the availability of vegetables. Land and supply limitations posed challenges. The hydroponic solution increased vegetable availability, diversified food options, and promoted community self-sufficiency. Collaboration between the government and the community was vital. The results were evident from the healthy growth of vegetable plants and successful harvests. This initiative successfully improved knowledge, self-sufficiency, and food security in Pulau Osi Hamlet, helping to address stunting and improve vegetable consumption patterns.

Abstract

Kisar Island, rich in natural diversity, is covered by Lontar trees, which account for nearly a quarter of its area. In the village of East Oirata, staple crops such as corn and Lontar trees are crucial assets for most residents who rely on agriculture and fishing. Although the Lontar tree, known as the tree of 800 uses, has yet to be fully optimized, the processing of Lontar contributes to the local economy. Lontar palm sugar, which is highly nutritious, supports the growing market trend for more natural products. The people of Kisar Island, particularly in East Oirata Village, are striving to enhance the marketing of Kisar palm sugar through innovation and government support, seeing it as an economic opportunity that can improve their well-being. The qualitative research method is an approach that focuses on investigating the conditions of natural objects. Utilizing positivism or interpretive philosophy, the researcher acts as the primary instrument. A holistic understanding is provided through data triangulation, such as observations, interviews, and documentation. Unlike quantitative research, qualitative research produces descriptive and interpretative data processed inductively. This approach allows for in-depth analysis of phenomena, with flexibility and complexity in understanding social, cultural, or behavioural realities. The production process of Lontar palm sugar in East Oirata Village relies heavily on the availability of quality Lontar trees, local knowledge, and experience. Production costs include fixed and variable expenses, with sales significantly contributing to family income. SWOT analysis reveals strengths in resources and capital, weaknesses in production support limitations, opportunities from government attention and high consumer demand, and threats to the availability of supporting materials

Abstract

This study explores the issue of waste disposal along the banks of the Durian River in Masohi City, Maluku, and analyzes the factors influencing community behaviour related to the river. With a descriptive qualitative approach, the research highlights the need for more awareness and concern among the community and the insufficient government response to the issue—the study through observations, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that addressing the waste disposal problem along the Durian River in Masohi City requires collaboration and concrete actions. The government needs to enforce strict policies and impose firm penalties for violations. Relevant institutions should actively monitor the river, implement regular cleanup programs, and support community initiatives. Public education, the development of controlled facilities, and recycling are critical factors in waste management. The environment along the Durian River can become clean and sustainable by monitoring waste management programs and fostering cooperation between the government, institutions, and the community. Concrete measures, such as penalties, cleanup programs, and education, must be carried out collectively to change community behaviour and culture.

Abstract

Groundwater has two types: shallow groundwater and deep groundwater. Shallow groundwater originates from rainwater and is located not far from the soil surface, above an impermeable layer. On the other hand, deep groundwater is rainwater that infiltrates more profoundly into the ground through the processes of absorption and filtration by rocks and minerals within the soil. ArcGIS 10.4.1 spatial data processing includes digitization processes to convert data from raster to spatial data. Aquifer configuration analysis using geoelectrical methods (Schlumberger), further clarified using Stiff diagrams, distinguishes aquifer configurations into several rock sections. The aquifer configuration involves the overlying soil layer, clay, sand-gravel as the aquifer, and rock layers with some occurrences of saline aquifers.
