Abstract

Background: As the center of development and education in West Java, the city of Bandung has faced a waste problem that continues to increase along with increasing population growth. Indeed, there were two tragedies. In 2005 the Leuwigajah landfill exploded and in 2023 the Sarimukti landfill was burned. These tragedies became the climax of the Waste Emergency in the city of Bandung. Methods: By using the Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) framework and the literature research, this study aimed to gain a better understanding of the urban waste problem faced by each region, especially the city of Bandung. Findings: It was found that the government's Response only addresses Pressure and State, while Driving Force and Impact have not yet been addressed. Conclusion: From these results, it is recommended to raise awareness among residents of the city of Bandung through real appeals and persuasions, and to require manufacturers to be responsible for the distribution of their products. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The application of the DPSIR framework to analyze and address waste management emergencies in Bandung, Indonesia. While this method has been applied in various contexts, it has not been specifically tailored to the unique challenges of this region. This approach underscores the importance of addressing both immediate waste management issues and underlying consumer behaviors. It provides a comprehensive strategy that involves the engagement of the government, private sector, and community.

Abstract

Background: This research aims to delve into the potential of independence and increasing family economic income through hydroponic urban farming in the Women Farmers Group (KWT) of Anggrek, Bara-Baraya District, Makassar City, using a qualitative approach. The main focus of this research is to deeply understand how hydroponic urban farming affects the economy and independence of families, taking into account the experiences, perceptions, and social impacts of active participation in this activity. Methods: The research methodology used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews as the main data collection instrument. The research sample consists of 3 housewives and 1 government official who have been involved in hydroponic urban farming. The interview process was conducted in a structured manner, focusing on aspects of personal experience, changes in lifestyle, and the role of urban farming in improving family economics. This study is structured using qualitative analysis and further elaborated with descriptive writing methods. Findings: The research findings indicate that hydroponic urban farming has a significant positive impact on the independence and increasing economic income of families. Conclusion: Hydroponic urban farming significantly enhances women's economic self-reliance, offering policy insights for optimizing implementation and productivity. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study explores the economic empowerment of urban housewives through hydroponic urban farming, specifically within the Anggrek’s KWT in Makassar City. This research uniquely addresses the dual impact of hydroponic farming on enhancing family income and ensuring food security, focusing on the often-overlooked demographic of housewives in urban settings.

Abstract

Background: The use of limes is increasingly widespread worldwide, both as fresh fruit for consumption and for making juice or other drinks. Lime is also used in making jams and candies. The essential oil obtained from the skin is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for medicines, perfumes, soaps, body lotions, and detergents. However, during fruit storage, the respiration and metabolic activity in lime fruits is directly related to the increase in ambient temperature, which makes the fruit dry out. Improving the shelf life of lime against post-harvest stress while maintaining the sensory and nutritional qualities of fresh produce can be achieved through low-temperature storage and the use of packaging. This study aims to improve the quality of lime by knowing the difference between the provision of packaging and not-given packaging combined with different storage temperatures. Method: The experimental design used a single-factor completely randomized design with storage type treatment, which includes room temperature without packaging (control), room temperature with packaging, low temperature without packaging, and low temperature with packaging. Observations of non-destructive characteristics include weight loss, respiration rate, and fruit peel color. Observations of destructive characteristics include juice content, fruit peel softness, Soluble Solid Contents (SSC), Total Acidity (TA), SSC/TA ratio, and ascorbic acid content. Findings: Low temperature treatment without packaging provides the best results in delaying weight loss, respiration rate, and SSC/TA ratio. The control treatment provided the best results for peel softness, juice content, and ascorbic acid. Conclusion: Low temperature treatment without packaging is recommended for the storage of lime fruit to extend its shelf life. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study examines the combined effects of low temperature and newspaper packaging on extending the shelf life of lime fruits, addressing a significant gap in postharvest storage research for non-climacteric fruits such as lime.

Abstract

Background: The women farmers play a crucial role in Indonesian villages. It needs the empowerment model for addressing the challenges and opportunities so the women farmers can increase her capacity especially in the agriculture system and family quality. By this condition we conduct research that focuses on the process of empowerment to achieve wellbeing and sustainable development. Method: Data drawing on a literature review, best practices, and real-life narratives. Findings: The data shows that despite their significant contribution to agriculture, women farmers are facing a lack of resources like land, credit, and information. Social norms build can relegate them to less demanding tasks, while decision-making power frequently resides with men. These persistent gender biases hinder their full potential and limit their agency. The narrative analysis reveals the remarkable resilience of women farmers. They manage their farms efficiently, innovate to adapt to changing circumstances, and find purpose and well-being through their work.  The stories showcase their crucial role in rural economies and their capacity to overcome limitations. The research identifies key areas to empower women farmers and achieve sustainable development. Conclusions: Investing in their well-being through access to healthcare, childcare, and financial security empowers them to invest in themselves and their families.  Promoting sustainable practices through training programs equips them with the tools to nurture the land for future generations.  Fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration creates a network for innovation and best practices to flourish.  Finally, breaking down gender barriers and promoting women's leadership in agriculture is crucial for achieving true empowerment and a more equitable future. By prioritizing the well-being of women farmers and fostering sustainable practices, we can create a virtuous cycle. Empowered women farmers contribute to a more secure and nourishing future, not just for themselves and their families, but for the entire community and the environment they sustain. Investing in women farmers is an investment in a future where well-being and sustainability go hand in hand. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study employs a multi-faceted approach to empower rural women farmers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. By integrating qualitative data from in-depth interviews and document analysis, it uncovers the intricate interplay between gender, agriculture, and rural development. Ultimately, the research highlights the critical role of tailored empowerment strategies in enhancing the economic, social, and environmental resilience of these women.
