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.

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

Food security is a crucial issue in the world today. The increasing demand for food is driven by the continuously growing global population. Food requirements in developing countries are projected to increase by 60% in 2030 and double by 2050. Indonesia is one of the countries with significant potential to meet global food needs. However, Indonesia has not been able to maximize the productivity of its agricultural land, leading to insufficient domestic food supply. On the other hand, the condition of small farmers in Indonesia remains concerning. Small farmers in Indonesia are still part of a vulnerable community due to the low income derived from agriculture.In this research, the analysts conducted an examination related to strengthening small farmers to support national food security. The research employed a qualitative methodology based on a literature review of previous studies. The discussion in this study presents several policy recommendations, including optimizing plantation land integrated with agriculture through the agroforestry concept. Another policy suggestion is to focus on supporting small farmers in gaining access to agricultural knowledge and technology through mentoring programs. The government also needs to stimulate millennials to contribute directly to the agricultural sector, as evidenced by the role of millennial farmers in enhancing agricultural productivity and competitiveness. Finally, the Indonesian government should facilitate access to funding for small farmers and promote the development of local food alternatives such as corn, cassava, and sorghum, aiming to enhance national food security and contribute to global food resilience.

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.
