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.

Abstract

Background: Energy plays a vital role in global efforts to transition toward renewable energy sources, addressing climate change and ensuring sustainability. Despite growing investments in renewable energy, fossil fuels remain a critical commodity, particularly in Indonesia’s transportation sector, where their dominance significantly contributes to air pollution. The urgency to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy has been heightened by geopolitical events such as Russia's aggression, which has underscored the need for energy resilience. Indonesia has initiated fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as an environmentally friendly alternative. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative approach, conducting interviews with two respondents: one who owns an electric two-wheeler and another who does not. The study focuses on key factors influencing societal behavior and interest in transitioning to EVs, including price, infrastructure, brand, mobility needs, and environmental awareness. Government policies such as subsidies and tax incentives are also analyzed for their role in encouraging EV adoption. Findings: The interviews reveal that price affordability, infrastructure availability, and government subsidies significantly influence the decision to transition to electric vehicles. While environmental awareness is a contributing factor, practical considerations such as mobility needs and vehicle brand preferences remain critical. The study highlights the importance of government support in the form of improved infrastructure, subsidy programs, and standardized battery regulations to accelerate the adoption of two-wheeler EVs. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the need for targeted government policies to strengthen EV adoption, particularly through subsidies, infrastructure development, and regulatory improvements. These efforts are essential for achieving clean and sustainable energy in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a comprehensive perspective on the socio-economic and policy-related factors influencing EV adoption in Indonesia. By incorporating first-hand insights from users and non-users of electric vehicles, it offers unique recommendations to enhance the transition toward renewable energy.

Abstract

Background: The Environmental Quality Index (EQI) reflects environmental performance and sustainability, with DKI Jakarta scoring 54.57—below its target. This study analyzes the influence of the Human Development Index (HDI), population growth, and the Information, Communication, and Technology Development Index (IDI) on DKI Jakarta’s EQI. Methods: A quantitative approach using time-series data (2008–2023) and multiple linear regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between HDI, population growth, and IDI with environmental quality. Findings: HDI positively impacts environmental quality, contributing 5.776%. In contrast, a 1% increase in IDI and population growth correlates with a 2.183% and 173.456% decline in EQI, respectively, highlighting the environmental challenges of urbanization and technological expansion. Conclusion: Improving human resources, adopting green technologies, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders are critical to enhancing environmental quality. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides new insights into the interplay of HDI, IDI, and population growth in influencing environmental quality in a major urban area.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a serious public health problem in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara/Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) Province, which has a high prevalence. Based on the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), there are 15 districts in NTT with stunting rates of more than 30%, even in South Central Timor and North Central Timor Regencies, the prevalence reaches more than 46%. The main factors contributing to stunting include malnutrition, poor sanitation, and consanguineous marriage practices. Methods: This study uses a literature review approach by applying the Social Ecological Model (SEM) to analyze risk factors and intervention strategies. The data used include empirical studies and policies related to stunting in NTT. Findings: The analysis shows that poor sanitation, such as access to clean drinking water which only reaches 86.79% and access to proper sanitation of 73.7%, is correlated with high stunting rates. Data also show that low milk consumption, with an average consumption of only 30 kilocalories per capita per day in Southeast Asia, contributes to the high prevalence of stunting of 31%. In addition, maternal education levels and the practice of washing hands with soap after feeding children are significantly associated with stunting. Social assistance programs such as the Family Hope Program/Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) have reached 64% of beneficiaries but have not been effective in reducing stunting rates because there is still inaccuracy in targeting recipients. Conclusion: Accelerating stunting reduction in NTT requires a multi-sectoral approach involving improving sanitation infrastructure, increasing access to nutrition, health education, and optimizing social assistance programs. Monitoring and evaluation of policy implementation need to be improved to ensure the effectiveness of the interventions carried out. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the relationship between environmental factors, cultural practices, and policy effectiveness in accelerating stunting reduction in NTT. The SEM approach used offers a holistic perspective in understanding the complexity of the problem and designing more effective intervention strategies.
