Abstract

Carbon footprinting and greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting are now widely applied to solid waste management (SWM), yet evidence remains fragmented across technologies, waste streams, and regional contexts. This systematic literature review synthesizes 50 Scopus-indexed journal articles (2017–2025) that quantify the carbon outcomes of SWM options using life-cycle assessment, carbon accounting, and sce-nario modeling. We compare methodological choices (functional units, boundaries, impact methods, avoided burdens), benchmark core treatment technologies (landfilling, incineration/WtE, composting, anaerobic digestion, mechanical-biological treatment), assess circular pathways (recycling, substitution, eco-design), and identify regionally differentiated transition archetypes shaped by governance and ener-gy-system decarbonization. Across studies, technology rankings are highly sensitive to methane dynamics, landfill gas capture and oxidation, grid emission factors, and substitution assumptions. Circular strategies frequently deliver the largest net savings when high-quality sorting and credible displacement of virgin production are achieved, while WtE benefits are context-dependent and generally increase in fossil-intensive grids. The review proposes an integrative comparison framework that links method choices to technology performance and regional pathway feasibility, providing more comparable, decision-relevant evidence for low-carbon SWM planning.

Abstract

Tourism destinations are increasingly understood as socio-ecological systems (SES) where ecological dynamics, livelihoods, and institutions interact through feedback loops. This systematic literature review synthesises evidence on how environmental governance shapes sustainable tourism trajectories in tourism-dependent SES and highlights gaps for future research. Peer-reviewed journal articles (2000–2025) were identified through structured searches in major databases and complementary searches, then screened using predefined eligibility criteria and appraised for methodological quality using a mixed-methods-appropriate tool [9]. Forty-six studies were retained for narrative thematic synthesis. The evidence indicates that governance in tourism SES is commonly hybrid—combining hierarchical regulation, market mechanisms, and community participation—and is implemented through instrument mixes such as zoning, permitting, environmental standards, economic incentives, and stakeholder forums. Across protected areas, coastal zones, rural landscapes, and urban destinations, collaborative arrangements (e.g., co-management and community-based models) are more frequently linked with biodiversity protection, improved habitat condition, and livelihood diversification than fragmented or investor-dominated regimes [1], [2], [3]. However, outcomes vary substantially and are mediated by enforcement capacity, institutional coherence, perceived legitimacy, and distributional fairness [4], [5]. The review also shows an expanding methodological toolkit (remote sensing, composite indices, modelling), but persistent gaps in longitudinal designs and in indicators that capture equity, resilience, and linked human–environment risks [6], [7]. Overall, sustainable tourism in SES requires adaptive, cross-scale, and equity-oriented governance that can learn from monitoring and address power asymmetries.

Abstract

Rising consumption of bottled water and sugar-sweetened beverages poses challenges for health, environmental sustainability, and equity in access to safe drinking water. This systematic review examines interventions promoting a shift from bottled drinks to tap or plain water, focusing on behavioral mechanisms and impacts on health, nutrition, and the environment. Studies reviewed included diverse settings and methodologies, assessing outcomes related to beverage intake and associated indicators. Successful interventions combined infrastructure improvements, such as hydration stations, with education and policy changes favoring tap water. Behavioral responses were influenced by perceptions of safety and taste, while socio-economic and demographic factors affected effectiveness. Interventions generally led to reduced consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and increased tap-water intake, with evidence of improved health outcomes in high-risk populations. Modelling studies anticipated significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and resource use by substituting tap water for bottled beverages. The review concludes that well-designed interventions can foster healthier beverage systems but calls for longer-term assessments that encompass health, environmental, and equity outcomes.

Abstract

This research investigates Mochtar Lubis' social commentary through the editorial position of Harian Indonesia Raya, focusing on the Rene Coenrad case from October 1970 to January 1971. The death of Rene Coenrad during a soccer match between students and police cadets at ITB highlighted the underlying tensions between students and the government at the outset of the New Order period, following their joint attempt to overthrow the Guided Democracy regime in 1966. This study employs historical and content analysis techniques, analysing primary sources including headlines and articles from the Indonesia Raya newspaper. The initial section examines the socio-cultural background of the Rene Coenrad case and subsequently delves into students' reactions to it. The following section examines the early New Order government and Mochtar Lubis' role at the Indonesia Raya newspaper. The central theme of this article centres on Mochtar Lubis' social commentary in connection with the Rene Coenrad case, a crucial example of escalating student-government conflicts at the beginning of the New Order period. Exploring the complex relationship between students and the government throughout Indonesia's history is deeply captivating; students have consistently played a crucial role in moulding the nation's historical context. To fully understand the social commentary in Mochtar Lubis' editorial on René Coenrad, it is crucial to understand the portrayal of contemporary events and their underlying importance.

Abstract

Agro‑urban watersheds combine intensive agriculture, expanding settlements, and modified drainage networks that jointly accelerate nutrient, sediment, and thermal pressures on streams. Riparian buffers are widely promoted as nature‑based infrastructure to intercept these pressures, yet reported effectiveness varies because pollutant delivery is mediated by hydrologic and ecological connectivity. This systematic review synthesizes international evidence on how riparian buffer attributes (width, vegetation structure, and integrity) interact with land‑use gradients and connectivity metrics to influence water‑quality indicators (chemical, physical, thermal, and biological). The synthesis shows consistent degradation of water quality with increasing land‑use intensity, but with strong context dependence driven by scale, storm routing, and pathway bypass. Buffers most reliably reduce pollutants when dominant surface and shallow subsurface flowpaths intersect buffer soils; uniform width prescriptions are therefore insufficient without connectivity diagnostics and input‑load context. We further find growing use of graph‑based and hydrologic connectivity measures to prioritize riparian corridors and identify hotspots where restoration can yield the highest water‑quality returns. The review concludes with connectivity‑informed design and planning implications to support water‑quality protection in agro‑urban watersheds.

Abstract

Climate change and land-use/land-cover (LULC) dynamics jointly reshape watershed hydrology and water quality, yet their relative contributions remain difficult to isolate across regions, indicators, and methods. This systematic review synthesizes 28 peer-reviewed studies (2000–2025) that explicitly attribute or partition climate and LULC effects on streamflow, water yield, evapotranspiration, baseflow, and multiple water-quality indicators (e.g., nutrients, sediments, dissolved organic matter, salinity/alkalinity, and contaminant mixtures). Studies were grouped into four synthesis themes: (i) conceptualizations and study designs, (ii) process-based and hybrid modeling frameworks, (iii) statistical and decomposition approaches, and (iv) cross-context patterns and water-quality attribution. Across the evidence base, attribution outcomes are strongly conditioned by methodological choices—especially baseline definition, construction of climate-only and LULC-only counterfactuals, spatial and temporal scale, and the metric used to express contributions (e.g., scenario contrasts, sensitivities, or variance explained). Long-term water-balance responses are often attributed primarily to climate forcing, while water-quality outcomes are more frequently attributed to LULC and direct anthropogenic pressures, with climate acting as a key modulator of transport pathways and exposure. We conclude that robust climate–LULC attribution requires explicit counterfactual design, integrated use of process-based and data-driven frameworks, explicit representation of interactions, and routine uncertainty analysis to support context-sensitive watershed management and climate adaptation.

Abstract

This systematic literature review synthesizes extant research to elucidate the relationship between Information Technology Governance, Risk, and Compliance (IT GRC) maturity and its impacts on organizational performance and financial reporting quality. Guided by the PRISMA framework, the review analyzes 22 publications from 2021–2025. The findings reveal that IT GRC maturity significantly enhances organizational performance, primarily mediated through improved internal control effectiveness and strategic alignment, leading to superior financial and operational outcomes. Furthermore, it directly elevates financial reporting quality by mitigating material weaknesses and constraining earnings management, thereby strengthening financial integrity. The synthesis constructs an integrated framework demonstrating that mature IT GRC acts as a critical socio-technical determinant, translating governance structures into tangible value. However, the review identifies that these benefits are contingent upon overcoming integration challenges related to strategic alignment and human capital. The study concludes by recommending a holistic approach that synchronizes technology, processes, and skilled personnel, and highlights key avenues for future empirical research to further delineate these complex relationships.
