Abstract

Background: Asian nations like China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam account for 60% of the estimated 4.8–12.7 million metric tons of marine plastic trash produced year worldwide. The majority of the marine trash off the north coast of Jakarta is made of plastic, at 59%. Because it offers financial advantages and fosters partner collaboration, the circular economy is a novel strategy for managing plastic trash. Regretfully, there remains a dearth of information regarding the entities engaged in the management of plastic garbage in Central Jakarta. In light of a circular economy, this research attempts to create methods for bolstering collaborations in the management of plastic trash. Methods: In this study, a hybrid strategy using a quantitative approach was employed. The best and most practical type of partnership in Central Jakarta was identified through the use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in this study. Findings: The study's findings indicate that the greatest plan for Central Jakarta is a collaboration with the government since it promotes both well-managed plastic waste management and economic gains. Conclusion: The best partnership model based on AHP analysis is the Government-Private sector partnership. This form of partnership can drive increased economic benefits and improve the performance of plastic waste management. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study integrates a circular economy approach with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the most effective partnership model for plastic waste management in Central Jakarta.

Abstract

Background: Protected forests in the Moramo District play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem balance, but they are increasingly threatened by human activities such as illegal logging and land use change. Vegetation density shifts can disrupt ecosystem functions, particularly the hydrological cycle. This study aims to analyze spatial and temporal changes in vegetation density in the Moramo District Protected Forest using remote sensing. Methods: To detect vegetation density changes, the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) algorithm was employed using satellite imagery from Landsat OLI 8 (2013 and 2018) and Landsat OLI 9 (2023), processed with GIS software. NDVI values range from -1 to 1, allowing for vegetation condition assessment based on spectral reflectance. Findings: Results show a degradation trend in dense vegetation, with a decrease of 67.25 ha (2.86%) during 2013–2018 and 289.11 ha (12.31%) during 2018–2023. Conversely, moderately dense vegetation increased by 68.45 ha (2.91%) and 300.21 ha (12.78%) over the same periods, indicating signs of vegetation regeneration. Conclusion: Despite some vegetation recovery, forest ecosystems continue to face high pressure. More adaptive conservation strategies supported by spatial monitoring are needed to reduce degradation and support long-term sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely integrates a multi-temporal NDVI-based approach with socio-ecological analysis and GIS tools to monitor vegetation dynamics. It offers valuable insights for adaptive forest management in the Moramo District Protected Forest, an area previously lacking detailed environmental change analysis.

Abstract

Background: The urgent issue of plastic waste has driven innovation in eco-friendly packaging. ORUBEEX WRAP emerges as a solution by utilizing beeswax and corn husk waste (Zea mays L.) to replace single-use plastic packaging. Beeswax is chosen for its biodegradable, reusable, and antimicrobial properties, while corn husk waste is used as a filler to enhance mechanical strength and flexibility. This innovation not only reduces environmental impact but also supports the circular economy by transforming agricultural waste into value-added products. Methods: This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, collecting and analyzing data from literature studies, scientific journals, and trusted sources related to beeswax, corn husk waste, and eco-friendly packaging. The writing process includes data collection, analysis of raw material potential, and evaluation of the environmental and economic impacts of ORUBEEX WRAP. Findings: ORUBEEX WRAP offers key advantages as a biodegradable and reusable packaging solution that can reduce plastic waste. The antimicrobial properties of beeswax help extend food shelf life, while the utilization of corn husk waste provides economic value to farmers. However, the product faces limitations in mechanical durability and application to wet or oily foods, as well as relatively high initial production costs. Conclusion: ORUBEEX WRAP is a sustainable innovation combining the benefits of beeswax and corn husk waste to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. Despite technical and economic challenges, the product holds significant potential to promote eco-friendly practices and the circular economy. Novelty/Originality of this article: The originality of ORUBEEX WRAP lies in its innovative combination of beeswax and corn husk waste, which has not been extensively explored in the food packaging industry. This innovation not only offers an eco-friendly solution but also utilizes previously neglected agricultural waste, creating economic value and supporting sustainability principles.

Abstract

Background: Understanding land cover change is crucial for sustainable urban development, particularly in rapidly growing coastal cities such as Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: This study investigates spatial and temporal patterns of land cover change from 2000 to 2025 by integrating multi-temporal Landsat satellite imagery, key spectral indices—namely the normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, and normalized difference built-up index—and a deep learning approach based on convolutional neural networks. Annual Landsat images were preprocessed for atmospheric correction, cloud masking, and spatial subsetting using Google Earth Engine. Adaptive thresholding was then applied to each spectral index to delineate vegetation, water bodies, and built-up areas. Findings: Quantitative analysis revealed a significant decline in vegetation cover, with the normalized difference vegetation index dropping from 53.66% (397.59 km²) in 2000 to 46.83% (346.98 km²) in 2025, driven by urban expansion and landscape conversion, especially in coastal and lowland areas. Normalized difference water index analysis indicated a reduction and fragmentation of water bodies after 2015, linked to reclamation, sedimentation, and urban encroachment. Conversely, built-up areas expanded steadily, confirming accelerated urbanization. Scatter plot and regression analyses showed strong inverse relationships among vegetation, water, and built-up land, emphasizing ecological trade-offs and the loss of green-blue infrastructure. Conclusion: To enhance classification accuracy, a convolutional neural network was trained and validated on image patches, achieving a validation accuracy of 60%—outperforming conventional threshold-based methods by better capturing complex spatial patterns. The integrated remote sensing and deep learning framework offers robust potential for long-term, large-area land cover monitoring. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in its combined use of spectral indices and deep learning for multi-decadal land cover change analysis, providing a transferable methodology for other rapidly urbanizing coastal cities.
