Abstract

Background: The red chili supply chain in the coastal sandy areas of Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, faces chronic inefficiencies, including volatile prices, lengthy distribution channels, and farmers’ dependency on intermediaries. Although traditional auction markets offer more transparent price formation, delayed payments often push farmers back into unfavorable marketing practices. The advancement of digital technology provides new opportunities to enhance market efficiency and empower smallholder farmers. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Semar-Dica Apps, an Android-based digital auction platform, to design an effective digital marketing system and evaluate its potential to improve market efficiency and farmers’ income . Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, supported by participatory action research (PAR) in several chili-producing villages of Panjatan Sub-district, Kulon Progo. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and analysis of relevant secondary data. The analysis involved thematic coding, comparison between conventional and digital auction mechanisms, SMART feasibility assessment, and stakeholder mapping using the Triple Helix model. Findings: The Semar-Dica platform demonstrates potential in shortening supply chains, increasing price transparency, and accelerating payment processes. However, challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, operational costs, and competition with local traders. To overcome these barriers, farmer training, video-based guidance, and inclusive stakeholder engagement are necessary. Collaboration with local collectors is also suggested to support smoother adoption. Conclusion: The Semar-Dica Apps offer a promising solution for enhancing market efficiency and improving income security for chili farmers. Its success, however, relies on strategic implementation and support from all stakeholders. Novelty/Originalty of this article: This study contributes to the discourse on agricultural digitalization by identifying context-specific barriers to adoption and offering targeted, inclusive strategies to facilitate the transition of smallholder farmers to digital marketing platforms

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s palm oil supply chain (POSC) plays a critical role in the global economy, contributing over 60% of the world’s crude palm oil (CPO) supply. Despite extensive research on palm oil production and sustainability, there remains a lack of comprehensive bibliometric analysis that maps the evolution of POSC research, identifies key knowledge gaps, and highlights emerging trends. Methods: This study addresses this gap by employing a bibliometric approach to analyze academic research on POSC from 2007 to 2024. Using Scopus data and VOSviewer for visualization, the study identifies key trends, influential authors, research hotspots, and international collaborations. Findings: Results show a significant increase in publications since 2016, driven by global concerns over sustainability, climate change, and the social impacts of palm oil production. Indonesia leads research output, with international collaborations predominantly involving Malaysia and the United States. The findings reveal a shift toward sustainability research, emphasizing environmental challenges, smallholder inclusion, and technological innovations. Conclusion: This study contributes to the literature by providing a systematic mapping of POSC research, highlighting underexplored areas such as supply chain transparency and the role of palm oil in biofuels. Future research should focus on balancing economic development with environmental stewardship and leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to address sustainability challenges. Novelty/Originality of this article: highlights the growing intersection of POSC research with sustainability, technological innovation, and policy development, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers.

Abstract

Background: Rapid urbanization has significantly increased industrial activity, transportation, and energy use in cities, increasing air pollution. In addition to having a detrimental effect on the ecosystem, air pollution raises the risk of heart disease, respiratory conditions, and early mortality. Green open space is seen as a natural way to lower air pollution because of the vegetation's capacity to absorb pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10. Method: This SLR analysis combines quantitative bibliometry and descriptive research methods. Findings: The study results show that GOS plays an important role in reducing air pollutant concentrations, improving air quality, and providing health benefits to the community. However, the effectiveness of GOS is influenced by factors such as vegetation type, green area area, and urban spatial planning. Limited land, lack of integration in urban planning, and low public awareness are major problems in GOS development. In addition, this study found the potential to optimize GOS through innovations such as vertical green spaces and green roofs. Conclusion: This study also found that GOS should be included in sustainable urban spatial planning policies to improve air quality, reduce pollution impacts on health, and create a healthier and more comfortable urban environment for people by optimizing the GOS. To ensure the GOS development can go smoothly and sustainably in the future, it is required to have scientifically based policy recommendations. Novelty/Originality: This study assesses GOS's capacity to absorb air pollution by contrasting case studies from Indonesia and Singapore.

Abstract

Background: Denpasar City, as a prominent tourism hub in Bali, faces significant urban environmental challenges due to rapid land conversion, increasing population, and growing tourism activities. In 2023, Denpasar produced the highest volume of waste in Bali, reaching 357,985.69 tons/year, reflecting the strain on waste management systems and environmental sustainability. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach through spatial analysis using QGIS and literature review. The variables analyzed include land cover, population, tourist attraction (DTW) distribution, and annual waste generation across four sub-districts in Denpasar. Findings: The analysis revealed that South Denpasar has the largest area (49.89 km²), highest population (311,590 people), highest waste generation (111,080.23 tons/year), and the most tourist attraction units (28 DTWs). Despite this, it has the lowest population density compared to other sub-districts. These conditions highlight the environmental burden experienced by this region, particularly in waste management and land use pressure due to its tourism-related activities. Conclusion: The city of Denpasar faces complex challenges in achieving its vision as a sustainable Tourism City. The integration of the Balinese local wisdom value of palemahan, emphasizing harmonious human–environment relationships, is crucial to address the physical, biological, and social environmental issues arising from unregulated waste and land use. Furthermore, the dense population and high tourism activity call for future research on their impact on water and air quality. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a spatially grounded analysis of the interrelation between tourism, population pressure, and waste generation in Denpasar. It uniquely incorporates traditional environmental values (palemahan) as a cultural approach to addressing urban ecological challenges.

Abstract

Background: This study investigates the strengthening of sustainable palm oil plantation policies in Indonesia as a strategic response to global climate change challenges and growing international market pressures. The study emphasizes the importance of simplifying certification processes, strengthening local institutional capacity, and promoting participatory governance. Multi-stakeholder collaboration, technological support, and policy adaptation to local contexts are identified as critical enablers of an inclusive and effective sustainability framework. Methods: Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with diverse stakeholder government officials, smallholder farmers, corporations, NGOs, and academics the research uncovers the varying perceptions, capacities, and experiences that shape the current sustainability landscape. Findings: The findings reveal a significant disconnect between policy formulation and field-level implementation, especially among smallholders who face barriers such as inadequate access to information, technology, and finance. Certification schemes like ISPO and RSPO, while central to sustainability efforts, are often perceived by smallholders as complex and costly. Additionally, limited supervisory capacity, inconsistent intergovernmental coordination, and unresolved land conflicts further impede policy effectiveness. Importantly, the findings underscore the need to enhance transparency across the supply chain and foster innovation through public-private-academic partnerships. Increased investment in smallholder training, digital monitoring systems, and conflict resolution mechanisms is vital to closing the gap between policy and practice. Conclusion: Ultimately, this research highlights the need for an integrated policy approach that harmonizes regulations, empowers smallholders, enhances transparency, and supports innovation paving the way for a resilient and competitive palm oil industry that contributes to both national development and global climate goals. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel contribution by bridging the gap between sustainability policy formulation and field-level implementation in Indonesia’s palm oil sector, with a particular focus on smallholder realities.
