Abstract

This study analyzes community participation and environmental quality in supporting sustainable water-based tourism management at Umbul Brintik, Klaten Regency, Indonesia. The research aims to assess the level of community participation across management stages, evaluate water quality as an indicator of environmental sustainability, and examine the integration between social participation and environmental governance in a community-managed tourism destination. An explanatory mixed-methods approach was employed, combining questionnaire surveys of local residents analyzed using a non-compensatory Community Participation Index (CPI), water quality assessment using the STORET method and the Water Quality Index (WQI), and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. The findings indicate that community participation is generally high, with very high levels observed at the implementation, benefit-sharing, and evaluation stages, while participation at the planning stage remains comparatively lower. Water quality analysis shows that all physical, chemical, and biological parameters meet national standards, with STORET results indicating good water quality and WQI values classified as excellent. The integrated analysis reveals that although strong community participation coexists with favorable environmental conditions, environmental governance remains largely informal and lacks institutionalized mechanisms such as routine monitoring and formal environmental management procedures. This study demonstrates that high participation levels do not automatically ensure long-term environmental sustainability and highlights the need to strengthen participatory planning and institutionalize preventive environmental management to sustain community-managed water-based tourism destinations.

Abstract

Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) activities in Ai Mual Village, Lantung Sub-district, Sumbawa Regency, have the potential to degrade environmental quality, as indicated by analysis results showing that cyanide concentrations and pH levels in water near the mining area exceed the water quality standards for Class I and II, as stipulated in Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. The methodology employed includes spectral analysis based on vegetation indices (NDVI, ENDVI, GNDVI) and iron oxide indices, which serve as preliminary identification or anomaly visualization. These results are subsequently analyzed in more detail and validated using laboratory data on physical, chemical, and biological parameters. The results indicate that low NDVI values (≤ 0.1) and high Fe-oxide index values are distributed across active ASGM zones, suggesting substantial environmental stress on vegetation. Laboratory analysis revealed that several locations contained cyanide concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 0.06 mg/L, exceeding the quality standards set by Indonesian Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. The low pH value (2.17) recorded at site SWL-2 indicates symptoms of acid mine drainage (AMD), which further enhances the mobility of heavy metals into aquatic systems. Biologically, SWL-1 recorded fecal coliform counts of 16,000 MPN/100 mL and total coliform at 160,000 MPN/100 mL up to 32 times the allowable limits. Conversely, SWL-2 showed low coliform levels, possibly due to acidic conditions that inhibit bacterial survival. The findings were visualized through thematic maps and spatial overlays, highlighting high-risk zones covering approximately ±65.33 hectares located in Ai Mual Village, Lantung Subdistrict .

Abstract

This study visualizes worldwide study patterns on human-elephant conflicts (HEC) and sustainable cultivation management across the last three decades using a thorough bibliometric assessment. The analysis, which uses VOSviewer to combine descriptive statistics, network visualization, and content-based clustering, is based on 342 Scopus-indexed documents published between 1995 and 2025. The results show a significant increase in research output following 2015, underscoring the growing interest in conserving biodiversity in plantation-driven landscapes within scientists and policymakers. Four main thematic clusters were found through co-citation and keyword analyses: policies supporting sustainable land management, community-based conservation and collaborative governance models, conflict mitigation and crop protection strategies, and ecological investigations on elephant behavior and habitat use. The findings point to a paradigm shift toward data-driven, interdisciplinary approaches that include climate adaptation tools, machine learning-based conflict prediction, and remote sensing. This research provides a fresh viewpoint and lays a solid basis for cooperative solutions combining ecological, technological, and socioeconomic aspects by connecting HEC studies with environmentally friendly plantation practices. To promote human-elephant coexistence while maintaining plantation output, future research should fill geographic understanding gaps, enhance cross-border collaborations, and broaden predictive analytics, especially in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The annual electricity consumption at the Gunung Mergi Mining Office, which reaches ±55,000 kWh, incurs significant operational costs, necessitating a more efficient and sustainable energy supply alternative. To address this need, a technical simulation was conducted using Helioscope software to determine the appropriate rooftop solar power system configuration based on the roof conditions and solar radiation potential at the location. An economic analysis was performed using the Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV), and Profitability Index (PI) methods to assess the feasibility of the investment. The simulation results show that a roof area of 474.41 m² can accommodate 54 solar modules with a capacity of 550 Wp, with an energy production of ap-proximately ±46,000 kWh per year or capable of meeting 84-85% of the office's electricity needs, and has the potential to save IDR 40-46 million per year. The financial analysis resulted in a positive NPV of IDR 20,076,884, an IRR of 1.078, and a Discounted Payback Period of 22.1 years, which is still within the technical lifespan of solar panels. From an environmental perspective, supplying most of the office’s electricity from rooftop solar can substantially reduce Scope 2 emissions associated with PLN electricity use, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of non-productive mining facilities. These findings indicate that the implementation of rooftop solar power plants is feasible and supports cost efficiency and the transition to clean energy in the mining sector.

Abstract

Global warming, largely driven by rising CO₂ levels, poses a serious environmental threat. Meanwhile, the decline of green spaces, especially in cities, reduces natural CO₂ absorption. In response to this issue, this true experimental research introduced an innovative approach called Smart Microalgae Reactor, which utilizes Spirulina Sp. as an alternative CO₂ absorber to produce oxygen. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of microalgae Spirulina Sp. in capturing CO₂ through three experimental setups: Reactor 1 (2000 mL Spirulina Sp.+ 2 L/min CO₂), Reactor 2 (1500 mL + 2 L/min CO₂), and a Control (2000 mL, no CO₂). CO₂ was injected daily for 1 minute, and key parameters Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Optical Density (OD), and growth rate (μ) were measured over 13 days. The results showed Reactor 2 had the highest DO increase (12.6 mg/L, 63.64%) and fastest early growth (0.0904 day⁻¹), while Reactor 1 achieved the highest OD (1.550, 111.48%) but slower growth. The control performed weakest, confirming that added CO₂ boosts photosynthesis. The study proves that smart microalgae reactor is an effective, sustainable solution for urban CO₂ reduction, offering a viable alternative where traditional greenery is limited.

Abstract

Indonesia’s commitment to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060 requires substantial decarbonization of its electricity sector, including the phase-out of diesel-based isolated power systems in remote and underdeveloped regions (3T regions). While de-dieselization programs have been widely promoted as a technically and economically feasible solution, their environmental performance remains uneven. This study examines Indonesia’s de-dieselization program implemented by PT PLN (Persero) through the lens of Multi-Level Governance (MLG), focusing on how governance dynamics shape the realization of emission reduction benefits. Using a qualitative research design, this study integrates document analysis, in-depth interviews with national, corporate, regional, and community-level actors, and secondary data-based carbon emission estimation. The findings reveal persistent governance failures manifested as policy misalignment, overlapping mandates, and accountability gaps across governance levels. These failures delay project implementation, prolong diesel operations, and generate a systemic “environmental performance gap,” where planned emission reductions are not fully realized. Carbon estimation indicates that delayed or incomplete de-dieselization results in the loss of significant mitigation opportunities, amounting to hundreds of thousands of tons of CO₂ annually. The study contributes to the energy transition literature by conceptualizing emission reduction as a governance-dependent outcome rather than an automatic result of technology substitution. Policy implications emphasize the need to embed environmental performance indicators explicitly into governance frameworks and to strengthen cross-level accountability to ensure that de-dieselization delivers tangible climate benefits in isolated power systems.

Abstract

Water pollution due to discharge of industrial wastes into aquatic environment remains a major challenge associated with adverse health effects and environmental destruction worldwide. The activated carbon was produced from the plant biosorbent using potassium hydroxide activator method. The activated carbon produced was characterized by surface characteristics and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic technique. The levels of heavy metals in the treated and untreated industrial wastewater sample were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopic (AAS) technique. Batch adsorption study was conducted using the American Public Health Association (APHA) method. The mechanism of heavy metals adsorption capacity of the plant-derived activated carbon was evaluated using Freundlich isotherm and Langmuir isotherm models. The result showed that the plant-derived activated carbon derived exhibited significant (p < 0.05) value of surface area (570.33 m2/g), pore volume (2.56 g/cm3), pH (6.46), conductivity (64.03 µS/cm), moisture content (20.86 %), and ash content (7.53 %) coupled with low value of porosity (0.82 %), bulk density (0.53 g/cm3), apparent density (0.32 g/cm3), and real density (1.91 g/cm3).. The FT-IR spectrum of the activated carbon displayed various band peaks at wavenumber ranged 3350 – 801 cm−1 indicating stretching of C–H, C=O, C–C C−O, and O−H. The untreated wastewater sample demonstrated high significant (p < 0.05) amount of cadmium (0.23 mg/L), cobalt (0.83 mg/L), lead (3.02 mg/L), manganese (1.47 mg/L), nickel (0.62 mg/L), and chromium (0.60 mg/L). The plant-derived activated carbon exhibited high significant (p < 0.05) percentage efficiency for removal of cadmium (95.55 %), cobalt (96.48 %), lead (97.16 %), manganese (99.25 %), nickel (96.09 %), and chromium (96.88 %) from the industrial wastewater sample. The results of this study showed that the regression coefficient (R²) values of cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, and chromium for the Langmuir isotherm are higher than that demonstrated by the metals for the Freundlich isotherm model. The experimental equilibrium data for cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, and chromium were best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model than the Freundlich isotherm model. The activated carbon derived from the roots of Typha domingensis demonstrated high adsorption capacity for removal of cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, and chromium from the industrial wastewater.
