Abstract

Background: Systema 20 Model biodigesters were installed at Tsangano Market in Malawi and are being promoted all over the country. However, there is limited field-based proof to support their technical performance and social and environmental benefits. Therefore, this study assessed the technical performance of the biodigester and its community benefits. Methods: The study used a mixed-methods approach. Waste composition analysis involved randomly collecting and segregating 835.17 kg of market waste to determine its constituents; direct measurements of feedstock and water inputs and biogas and liquid biofertilizer yields were conducted using calibrated tools; household surveys (n = 385) and focus group discussions were conducted to examine cooking fuel use and firewood displacement by biogas; indoor emission reductions were estimated using WHO air quality guidelines; methane reductions were calculated using IPCC (2006) methods; and laboratory analysis and field experiments were conducted to assess biofertilizer quality and its effect on maize production. Findings: Organic waste accounted for 99.9% of market waste; biodigester produced 12 m³ of biogas and 548 litres of biofertiliser daily, with an operational efficiency of 57.7%; the plant has the potential to support 13 households with clean cooking fuel, displacing 37.1 tonnes of firewood annually and reducing indoor PM2.5 from over 300 µg/m³ to below 50 µg/m³; the system diverted 50.4 tonnes of organic waste yearly, avoiding 28.05 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions; and the biofertiliser (200.02 m³/year) had the potential to produce 16 tonnes of maize annually, although it performed better under irrigation than rain-fed farming. Conclusion: The Systema 20 biodigester is a promising solution to waste, energy, and environmental challenges at the community level. However, further research is needed to address biodigester efficiency and sustainability bottlenecks. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers the first integrated field-based assessment of a market-scale biodigester in Malawi, linking energy production, environment, and food security.

Abstract

Background: This study focuses on the resilience of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Tanjung Duren Utara, West Jakarta, in facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the acceleration of digitalization. Methods: This study employs a qualitative and descriptive approach, focusing on three local MSMEs: Bakso Malang, Ayam Tulang Lunak 3 Saudara Cemara, and Mie Ayam Barokah. Through this approach, the research aims to identify and analyze the resilience processes demonstrated by MSMEs during the pandemic. Findings: The findings reveal that MSMEs undergo four stages of resilience: surrender, survival, recovery, and rapid growth. These stages involve adjustments to economic and psychological pressures, operational efficiency strategies, utilization of online delivery services, innovations in online marketing and customer service, and adaptation to digital technology. These findings are significant in highlighting how social support, personal strength, and the ability to act contribute to the success of MSMEs in facing the pandemic. Conclusion: Given the strategic role of MSMEs in the national economy, particularly in terms of labor absorption and contribution to the Gross Domestic Product, an analysis of their adaptation in this crisis situation is essential. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study underscores the importance of adaptation, innovation, and community support in building business resilience amidst uncertainty and challenges, demonstrating effective social functioning during the pandemic and avoiding social maladaptation.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of perceived destination image on the relationship between information quality in user-generated content (UGC) and behavioral intention, with a focus on the intention to revisit Lampung as a tourist destination, while extending the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model by Mehrabian and Russel. Methods: Based on the tourism context in Lampung, a total of 283 valid responses from domestic tourists were collected and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The indirect path analysis results show that cognitive image significantly mediates the relationship between representational information quality and social information quality on behavioral intention to revisit, while affective image serves as a significant mediator in the relationship between representational information quality and contextual information quality on behavioral intention to revisit. Interestingly, this study also found that intrinsic information quality has a significant direct effect on behavioral intention to revisit. Conclusion: These findings contribute significantly to understanding how destination image influences tourists' perceptions of different types of information quality in shaping their intention to revisit, while also highlighting the complex interplay between humans and technology in the context of tourism. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study extends the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model by examining the mediating role of cognitive and affective destination images between different dimensions of UGC information quality and tourists’ behavioral intention to revisit.

Abstract

Background: Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges in the 21st century, with Indonesia an archipelagic and tropical nation being particularly susceptible to its consequences. Despite its enormous renewable energy (RE) potential of over 3,600 GW, Indonesia remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, especially coal, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental damage. This study aims to analyze Indonesia’s energy transition strategy through the lens of climate justice, emphasizing the importance of an inclusive and equitable transformation. Previous research has underscored the critical role of distributive, procedural, and recognition justice in enabling fair energy transitions. Methods: This study applies a qualitative-descriptive approach using literature-based research. It draws on national policies, legal documents, academic journals, and global reports to evaluate Indonesia's energy transition framework. The analysis is grounded in the energy justice framework, which examines equity in energy distribution (distributive), inclusiveness in decision-making (procedural), and acknowledgment of vulnerable groups (recognition). Findings: The results show that Indonesia’s energy transition efforts are evolving but face significant challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, limited investment, and institutional rigidity. Although policy measures like the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and Presidential Regulation No. 112/2022 represent a shift towards a cleaner model, actual renewable energy installed capacity remains under 1%. Structural barriers such as fossil fuel subsidies and bureaucratic delays hamper progress. Integrating justice principles can enhance effectiveness by ensuring fair access, local empowerment, and participatory policy design. Conclusion: Indonesia’s energy transition is a vital strategy to mitigate climate change but must be rooted in justice to ensure inclusivity and sustainability. Strong policy coordination, stakeholder collaboration, and innovative financing mechanisms are necessary for success. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel contribution by placing energy justice at the center of the analytical framework, unlike most existing literature on JETP or energy policy in Southeast Asia, which primarily focuses on financing mechanisms, technical pathways, or climate mitigation goals. By integrating environmental, socio-political, and governance dimensions, this research provides a comprehensive, justice-oriented evaluation of energy transitions, particularly relevant for developing countries where equity, participation, and local impact are often underexplored.

Abstract

Background: Humans continue to revolutionize how they search for and process information in line with technological advancements, social changes, and evolving needs. However, amidst the openness of information, the friendship factor is often overlooked due to broad access to various sources without considering their credibility. This study aims to understand how the friendship factor, particularly informational social influence, interpersonal trust, and perceptions of a friend's knowledge, influences consumer behavior in the context of social shopping and social media participation. It also examines the role of confirmation and perceived usefulness in shaping consumer satisfaction and their impact on the intention to continue social shopping and social media participation, using an Expected Confirmation Model (ECM) adapted to consumer behavior. Method: This study employs a quantitative design with a single cross-sectional method and purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire, yielding 274 respondents. The data were then analyzed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) technique. Findings: The findings reveal that informational influence, interpersonal trust, and perceived friend knowledge significantly affect confirmation (0.145–0.337), which in turn influences perceived usefulness (0.523–0.598), user satisfaction (0.347–0.473), and continuance intention of social shopping (0.204–0.513) and social media participation (0.113–0.532). The results of the study indicate that all hypotheses were accepted. Friendship factors, particularly interpersonal trust, play a crucial role in shaping perceived usefulness and experience confirmation, which in turn influence satisfaction and the intention to continue social shopping and social media participation. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of providing positive experiences (positive confirmation) to encourage sustainable intentions in the context of social shopping and social media participation. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study introduces an adapted Expected Confirmation Model (ECM) to examine how friendship factors influence consumer satisfaction and continued intention in social shopping and social media participation.
