Abstract

Wetlands, as part of ecological technology commonly applied in wastewater treatment, are an innovative solution in environmental protection and restoration. Floating Treatment Wetland Systems (FTWs) are a new concept in wastewater treatment using macrophytes rooted in aquatic plants modified as floating systems. Use of a local aquatic plant that is often found and thrives as a weed in rice fields throughout Aceh, namely Actinoscirpusgrossus. Variables varied according to plant height, pond I 90cm – 150cm, pond II 50cm – 90cm and pond III control without plants, influent and effluent were analyzed every two weeks for 18 weeks with 9 analytical sampling times. The results of the domestic wastewater experimental parameter test showed that the average degradation efficiency (%DE) was pH 6.92, total suspended solid (TSS): 98.28%, biological oxygen demand (BOD): 97.77% and chemical oxygen demand (COD): 98.30%, very significant results. The management process of regularly cutting plants is an important part for the Actinoscirpusgrossus aquatic plant to achieve optimum results in processing wastewater, namely for 112 days with a maximum plant growth height of 165cm and 173cm for the two variations of the experimental ponds.

Abstract

The land cover on the Earth's surface is constantly changing due to natural and human activities such as settlements, agriculture, mining, natural hazards, and more. These changes will continue as long as life exists on Earth, making land cover change monitoring a never-ending task. Land cover classification involves defining the existing land cover on the Earth's surface using satellite imagery data. Random Forest is a popular classification algorithm used in remote sensing. The aim of this research is to determine the role of spectral indices in improving land cover accuracy using the random forest method. Twelve spectral indices were used, including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), Global Environment Monitoring Index (GEMI), Urban Index, Advanced Vegetation Index (AVI), Normalized Built-up Area Index (NBAI), Modified Bare Soil Index (MBI), and others. By combining these spectral indices with the 12 Bands of Sentinel-2 Satellite Imagery, the accuracy of land cover classification increased from 87% to 91%. The results showed that NBAI played a more important role compared to other spectral indices, with 6%, followed by NDVI with 5.6% and Urban Index with 4.9%.

Abstract

One way to reduce organic waste is through composting. One composting methodhat can be used is the Mac Donald method which employs an aerobic system to place raw ingredientsn an open box-shaped container. The purpose of this experiment was to observe the object under this study (rice washing water in organic waste composting). Four compost treatments namely P0 (organic garbage and without rice washing water added); P1 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 35 ml); P2 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 45 ml) and P3 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 55 ml). Temperature measurements at the end of the composting process showed that the temperature in all four containers was 29°C. The pH values obtained met maturity requirements forompost as specified by SNI 19-7030-2004, namely with a minimum value of 6.80 and a maximum of 7.49. The observation results of moisture content at the end of composting in the four containers were 40%. The best results were shown in the variation of P2 (by added rice washing water of 45 ml) with a C/N ratio of 19.31 and began to mature in week 3 with levels of C-organic, N-total, P-total and K-total of 34.00%; 1.76%; 0.49% and 1.68% respectively.

Abstract

Biodiversity is defined as the number of species inhabiting a particular area. Forests serve as ecosystems dominated by diverse plant species, primarily trees, which constitute the majority of the vegetation in these landscapes. Trees play a pivotal role in shaping forest communities and function as critical life-support systems. However, frequent environmental challenges and deforestation have resulted in insufficient attention toward research on the Moraceae family. Therefore, this study aims to identify species within the Moraceae family and analyze their diversity in the Soraya Research Station area. This research was conducted in September 2023 at the Soraya Research Station, located within the Leuser Ecosystem Area, Sultan Daulat District, Subulussalam City. The study employed an exploratory method using transect sampling across three main transects, each extending 1 km. Vegetation data were analyzed using the Importance Value Index (IVI) and Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H'). The findings revealed the presence of 8 Moraceae species, with a total of 221 individuals belonging to 2 genera. The species with the highest IVI was Damli (Artocarpus sp), with a value of 83.54, while the species with the lowest IVI was Damli lebar daun (Artocarpus sp), with a value of 8.87. The diversity index (H') of the Moraceae family at the Soraya Research Station was classified as moderate, with an H' value of 1.575.

Abstract

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) on waste management is one of the key strategies implemented in Indonesian to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment. This study aims to explore the influence of socio-economic factors on the level of community participation of 3R in Lhoknga District, Aceh Province. The socio-economic factors analyzed include gender, age, educational attainment, income, occupation, housing status, and household size. This study used a descriptive quantitative survey approach involving 30 randomly selected respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to identify the relationship between socio-economic variables and various forms of community participation, including cognitive participation, physical participation, material contributions, skills, and waste management. The analysis results show that socio-economic characteristics do not have a significant influence on the various forms of participation in waste management. The P Values for different types of participation are above 0.05, such as cognitive participation (0.342), physical participation (0.312), material contributions (0.390), skills (0.302), and general waste management participation (0.342). This indicates that there is no statistically significant relationship between socio-economic factors and the level of participation in waste management in Lhoknga. Participation in 3R activities is more influenced by individual awareness rather than socio-economic factors.

Abstract

Waste management in the coastal area of Lhoknga District Aceh Besar Regency, still faces various challenges, both technical and non-technical. Waste is generally disposed of without segregation, openly burned, or directly discharged into the environment without adequate treatment. This study aims to analyze the existing conditions of solid waste management, map material flows within the waste management system, and formulate strategies for implementing a circular economy approach using SWOT analysis. The methods employed include field observations, waste generation measurements, and in-depth interviews with local residents. The results indicate that household activities are the dominant source of waste generation, with the largest composition consisting of organic waste, particularly coconut waste with a generation rate of 0.061 kg/person/day and food waste amounting to 0.072 kg/person/day. The application of the 9R principles by the community remains limited and is primarily confined to reuse, recycle, and recovery practices. Based on the SWOT analysis, the waste management strategy is positioned in Quadrant I, indicating a favorable condition characterized by strong internal capacities and significant external opportunities. The recommended strategies emphasize an aggressive growth approach through the establishment of Waste Collecting Points (WCPs), the development of educational tourism initiatives, and the strengthening of local partnerships. This approach integrates material flow analysis with strategic assessment at the local level and is expected to support sustainable coastal waste management based on circular economy principles.
