Abstract

Background: This study investigated occupational exposures experienced among sanitation workers in the Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA), Ghana. Despite performing essential functions that sustain urban hygiene and public health, sanitation workers often neglect their occupational health risks. This study explored the types and frequency of hazards faced by sanitation workers at AMA. Methods: Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected from 277 sanitation workers through a structured questionnaire. The analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The study revealed that a majority of the sanitation workers were routinely exposed to hazards, including cuts, heat stress, dust inhalation, and contact with human waste. The study revealed that over 70% of the respondents had experienced work-related illnesses or injuries. Inferential analysis showed statistically significant relationships between consistent PPE usage and lower injury rates (p < 0.001), frequency of exposure and illness (p = 0.027), and experience level and health outcomes (p = 0.048). The study also exposed inequities in PPE access, especially among contract and casual workers. Conclusion: The study, therefore, recommends the establishment of inclusive safety policies aligned with national occupational health frameworks and the Sustainable Development Goals for sanitation workers in Ghana. Novelty/Originality of this article: The findings underscore the urgent need for systemic reforms in sanitation work policy in Ghana and other developing countries.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze public perception and conduct an environmental service valuation of the Puta Spring in Lakapodo Village, Watopute District, Muna Regency. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2024 with a population of 318 households that use the Puta Spring as their main water source. The research sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a confidence level of 10%, resulting in 76 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with the criterion of people who had used the spring for at least the last five years. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies, then analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Findings: The results showed that the community's perception of the existence of Puta Spring was in the good category with an average score of 242.47. This indicates a high level of awareness of the importance of preserving this water source in supporting daily needs. The valuation of environmental services calculated based on the prevailing price method shows an economic value of IDR 211,104,000.00 per year, while based on the market price in Muna Regency, it reaches IDR 164,661,120.00 per year. The total volume of water used for domestic needs by the entire community of Lakapodo Village is 42,220.8 m³ per year, with an average discharge of Puta Spring of 0.0082 m³/second. Conclusion: Public perception of the spring is generally good, with high scores in existence, management, utilization, and economic value. Water availability exceeds community use, resulting in a surplus of 212,283 m³/year, corresponding to an economic value of IDR 1,061,415,000, indicating sustainable resource potential. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in integrating community perception assessment with economic valuation and water balance analysis to reveal the surplus value and sustainability potential of the Puta spring.

Abstract

Background: The coastal region of Bangladesh faces severe vulnerability to climate change and climate-induced natural disasters annually. Inhabitants in these areas have developed a wealth of indigenous knowledge over generations, comprising techniques to mitigate the impact of these disasters. This study, conducted in Dashmina Upazila within the Patuakhali District of the southern coastal region of Bangladesh, aimed to identify, evaluate, and scale up existing indigenous knowledge practices for early warning in Climate Smart Disaster Risk Reduction. Methods: Information was gathered through various methods such as direct observations, key informant interviews, group discussions, case studies, and a comprehensive literature review. There are 14 Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and communal meetings; 16 Key Informant Interviews (KII) and 5 case histories were conducted. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010 for descriptive qualitative analysis, and a SWOT analysis was employed to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of these practices. Findings: The study revealed several indigenous indicators for early warning, including the observation that ants climbing into houses with stored food signify imminent heavy rainfall, excessive frog barking indicating forthcoming heavy rain, the belief that crows soar high into the sky to summon rain, a combination of heavy clouds with strong wind suggesting little or no rainfall, muddy river waters signaling potential large floods or storm surges, peculiar crowing sounds at night predicting cyclones, and the occurrence of hot winds from specific directions along with black clouds hinting at imminent norwesters. Conclusion: The study strongly recommends integrating this indigenous knowledge into decision-making processes for developing disaster risk reduction strategies and incorporating them into future development projects within the region. The study faces recall bias, the study has a single-district scope, and it lacks quantitative validation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research is novel because it systematically documents the indigenous early-warning knowledge of coastal communities in Dashmina Upazila, Bangladesh knowledge that has rarely recorded or scientifically analyzed and invisible to outsiders. It uniquely integrates these traditional cues with modern disaster-risk-reduction perspectives, offering new insights for community-based early warning systems.

Abstract

Background: The rapid evolution of digital technology has significantly shaped the social environment and altered the ways youth interact, communicate, and adapt within society. This study aims to analyze how social environments both offline and online affect youth social adaptation in the digital era, emphasizing sociocultural and psychological dimensions. Prior research indicates that digitalization encourages broader connectivity but can simultaneously reduce empathy and direct interpersonal communication. Methods: This study employs a literature review method, systematically synthesizing peer-reviewed journal articles and theoretical studies from the past decade. The analysis applies social ecology and adaptation theory to explore the interrelationship between environmental influences and adaptive behaviors among youth. Findings: Findings reveal that supportive social environments enhance digital literacy, emotional resilience, and social inclusion among young people, while toxic online cultures and social pressures contribute to isolation and maladaptive behaviors. The theoretical synthesis shows a reciprocal influence between environmental context and adaptive capacity highlighting that digital participation must be balanced with real world social skills to achieve well rounded adaptation. Conclusion: A balanced and inclusive social environment remains crucial for promoting adaptive social development among youth in a digitally interconnected society. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this article lies in its integrative theoretical approach, combining social ecology and adaptation perspectives to reinterpret youth social adaptability within the context of digital transformation.

Abstract

Background: The development of Dhoho International Airport in Kediri Regency represents a strategic government effort to stimulate regional economic growth. Initiated by the private sector through PT SDHI, a subsidiary of PT Gudang Garam, the project has faced challenges from local communities regarding housing and livelihoods. Beyond social shifts, the airport’s operation is expected to trigger broader transformations in education, culture, and economics, necessitating rapid community adaptation. This study aims to analyze the post-development impact on local residents. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in Penta Helix theory, utilizing purposive and snowball sampling for data collection. Findings: The study identifies distinct roles for Penta Helix actors—government as regulators, academics as knowledge providers, private sectors as job creators, media as educators, and civil society as mediators. Strategic planning revealed that community empowerment must integrate local traditions with modern vocational training to optimize economic opportunities. Conclusion: Effective empowerment requires synchronized collaboration where the government acts as the primary controller and policymaker to ensure sustainable welfare. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides a localized strategic framework for community empowerment in airport-affected areas, specifically using the Penta Helix model integrated with SWOT-based survey validation.
