Abstract

This study is a program evaluation research conducted in Non-Formal Education by the Tanah Ombak Community. This community is here to change the next generation of Purus (coastal area) to be better, cut off from the poverty chain that has been entangled and free from a marginalized environment. Tanah Ombak non-formal education is a public space for activities in the arts and literacy for school-age children and adolescents in Purus. The goal is for them to leave the "bad habits" that have been a tradition in the Purus community and develop a good character. The evaluation of non-formal education utilized the CIPP (Context-Input-Process-Product) evaluation model and capacity-building analysis of the beneficiaries. The results of this evaluation study show capacity building at the individual level, which is assessed from the aspects of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior. Based on the results of the research evaluation, it was found that non-formal education was able to increase the capacity of participants, as well as change negative behavior. In addition, the results of the CIPP analysis show that Tanah Ombak Non-Formal Education still has shortcomings in its implementation from the Input, Process, and Product aspects in the form of the ability of the issues discussed, facilities, lack of facilitators, and the absence of evaluation-monitoring of the extent to which the objectives have been achieved.

Abstract

Water is the most basic need for all living things on Earth. The abundance of water on Earth makes humans indifferent to the efficient use of water, including human activities, which are said to cause increasing pollutant loads in surface waters. The western part of Java, consisting of DKI Jakarta, West Java and Banten, has the highest population pressure in all parts of Indonesia. This has led to a decrease in the environment's carrying capacity, especially in the region's water resources. Agricultural and industrial activities and household activities cause decreasing water availability in quantity and reducing water quality. This has become a trigger for water scarcity both in quantity and quality. Based on the data, the western part of Java Island has rivers with critical status. In this study, researchers will analyze water availability, water pollution problems, and challenges in overcoming water pollution, especially in the western part of Java Island. This study used a qualitative method by conducting a literature review. In overcoming water pollution, serious efforts need to be made, including increasing community participation in the manufacture of household-scale WWTPs, limiting the use of pesticides in agricultural activities, and improving water quality by improving land cover in the upstream area and increasing water absorption in urban areas.

Abstract

Municipal solid waste management ideally targets reducing the volume of waste stockpiled while recovering as many resources as possible because waste is one of the renewable and biomass energy sources that can generate electricity through the conversion process. Utilizing waste-to-energy (WTE) is one of the waste processing methods recommended by the Indonesian government. As a renewable energy, waste has unlimited availability to be an alternative to fossil fuels. This study aims first to describe the legal basis and policy of WTE in Indonesia; second, to analyze the potential of waste as renewable energy in Indonesia; third, to identify the 2030 SDGs that may be achieved following the WTE Plant installation; fourth, to analyze the challenges in developing WTE in Indonesia. This study is a literature review on secondary data obtained from the Google Scholar and Scopus academic databases. Seeing the characteristics of waste in Indonesia, WTE can be done by thermal or biochemical conversion methods. Both of these methods require pre-processing because the quality of Indonesian waste still needs to improve, which is characterized by high water content and needs to be sorted appropriately.

Abstract

Garbage is a problem that is quite concerning in Indonesia. Most of the waste generated comes from household waste and plastic waste. The increase in waste production is influenced by population growth, the speed of development and the socio-economic level of the community which grows every year. The increase in the amount of waste is not proportional to the expansion of the landfill area. Disposal/TPA conditions in several areas are already overloaded, one of which is in Batang Regency. The Randukuning TPA in Batang Regency is already overloaded with the amount of waste produced reaching 500 tons per day with a landfill area of 2.5 hectares. Waste management is a structured, comprehensive and sustainable activity that includes waste reduction and handling. One effort that can be done to reduce waste is to sort waste from its source and apply 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

Abstract

Land is a critical factor in agriculture, especially in soil-based cultivation. The prevailing problem in agricultural land use that is yet to be solved is the rapid conversion to non-agricultural use, which raised concern for agriculture’s existence in the future. Moreover, the population continues to grow despite the receding agricultural land to produce food. Therefore, research and policies are starting to lean towards optimization of marginal land for agricultural activities. Indonesia still has potential marginal land for agricultural expansion. This paper uses secondary data and former studies to summarize the potential and availability of marginal land for agricultural expansion based on the land categories: forest land, dryland, and wetland (tidal swamp and peat). This paper also discusses the government's extensification program and the results of its implementation. We found that various reports about marginal lands utilization emphasized optimizing the target land with appropriate agricultural technology. The presentation of data obtained through literature studies can strengthen the opinion that the potential availability and potential for expansion of agricultural land in Indonesia is real. This paper is expected to provide a comprehensive reference for all Indonesian regional governments, so stakeholders continue optimizing the potential of existing natural resources.

Abstract

Background: Rainwater Harvesting System (RHS) is an alternative solution that can overcome the problem of demand of urban water with high population density and as a prevention of potential flooding due to lack of catchment areas. Central Jakarta's high population density triggers a large demand for clean water, causing excessive groundwater exploitation and a long impact on groundwater scarcity and seawater intrusion. The implementation of RHS in Indonesia is still relatively rare, especially in Jakarta. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to planning RHS design as an alternative to meet the urban water demands. This research innovates on RHS designs based on water demands and aspects of the feasibility in economics.  Methods: This research was conducted quantitatively and data collection was carried out by mix method, the number of occupants data was collected through observation and literature review of previous RHS research. The analysis of RHS is carried out mathematics and descriptive. Findings: The result showed that the implementation of RHS at X Boarding House succeeded in saving clean water bills by up to 58% with benefit value of IDR 8,093,176. This shows that the RHS is an effective solution in reducing water costs for PDAM bills. The design of the RHS uses roof as catchment area and the tank system is placed above ground taking into ease of operation and maintenance. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) analysis shows that the RHS at X Boarding House is feasible to be built with a value of 1,388>1 which shows that the value of the benefits exceeds the  costs. Conclusion The importance of using rainwater as an alternative to saving clean water by economic value shows that RHS can be an alternative solution to overcome problems, especially water availability during the dry season when the supply of clean water is decreasing. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research makes a novel contribution by presenting an RHS design tailored to urban water demand and its economic feasibility, as well as considering operational aspects under Jakarta's unique climatic and environmental conditions.

Abstract

Background: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are crucial to the Philippine economy, contributing significantly to employment and GDP. However, challenges such as natural disasters (e.g., Typhoon Haiyan), economic disruptions, and limited financial resources have tested the resilience of entrepreneurs, especially in Tacloban City, Leyte. This study explores the interplay between financial literacy, entrepreneurial competency, and resilience and their combined impact on the sustainable performance of SMEs in Tacloban City. Methods: A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, employing a structured questionnaire adapted from existing validated tools. Data were collected from 224 respondents across service, retail, and insurance sectors, selected through cluster sampling. Relationships among financial literacy, entrepreneurial competency, resilience, and sustainable performance were analyzed using SmartPLS-SEM. The mediating role of resilience was also assessed. Findings: The results indicate that financial literacy significantly enhances entrepreneurial competencies and resilience, both of which positively influence the sustainable performance of SMEs. Entrepreneurial resilience partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial competency and sustainable performance, highlighting its critical role in overcoming challenges. Demographic factors, such as age and education, were found to influence perceptions of sustainable performance. Conclusions: The findings underscore the importance of financial literacy as a foundational element in fostering entrepreneurial competency and resilience. Tailored interventions, such as financial education programs and resilience-building workshops, are recommended to support SME sustainability, particularly in disaster-prone regions like Tacloban City. Novelty/Originality: This study extends existing research by applying a resilience mediation model to a unique geographic and socio-economic context, Tacloban City, known for its vulnerability to natural disasters. The inclusion of demographic variables adds depth to the understanding of resilience and sustainability among SMEs in this setting, providing actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
