Abstract

Waste management remains a critical issue in Lhoknga Sub-district, Aceh Besar, due to limited facilities, inadequate collection systems, and low community participation. This study aims to plan an Integrated Waste Processing Facility (TPST) as a sustainable long-term waste management solution. A quantitative approach was applied through waste generation and composition sampling over eight consecutive days in accordance with SNI 19-3964-1994, covering both domestic and non-domestic sources. Fishbone analysis was employed to identify key factors influencing waste management performance. The findings indicate that organic waste, particularly food waste, dominates the waste composition. The proposed TPST is designed to manage 83.78 m³/day of waste projected until 2043, based on national standards and regional planning policies. This study contributes scientifically by offering a data-driven TPST planning framework that can be replicated in coastal and tourism-oriented regions facing similar waste management challenges.

Abstract

Eco-mosque represents an environmental awareness movement in architecture, which has been recognized globally. The design of the eco-mosque contributes to sustainable development, particularly environmental sustainability. This study reviews the eco-mosque practices in both certified and non-certified mosques. Optimizing the PRISMA framework, five articles of 205 initial results, which were published between 2020 and 2025, were included in this study. The data was analyzed by thematic and comparative methods. The results indicate that certified mosque implements integrated advanced technology guided by green building standards, such as energy-efficient materials, renewable energy, and a water recycling system. Meanwhile, non-certified mosques, including traditional ones, highlight the passive approaches such as using local material and natural ventilation, which align with environmental principles. This study emphasizes the need for an inclusive eco-mosque framework that embraces both certified innovations and context-responsive vernacular approaches, offering practical insight for sustainable religious architecture.

Abstract

Domestic waste generated from households, particularly food scraps as well as vegetable and fruit residues, represents a major environmental problem when not properly managed. One alternative solution to reduce domestic waste while producing value-added products is the conversion of household organic waste into eco-enzymes. This study aimed to describe the processing of domestic waste into eco-enzymes and to evaluate their potential applications as antibacterial agents and liquid organic fertilizers. Eco-enzymes were produced through a fermentation process using domestic waste, molasses, and water at a ratio of 1:3:10 for a period of three months. The fermentation process resulted in a dark brown liquid with a characteristic acidic aroma, indicating successful microbial activity. The resulting eco-enzymes exhibited antibacterial properties and contained various macro and micro nutrients essential for plant growth, suggesting their effectiveness as disinfectants and organic liquid fertilizers. In conclusion, eco-enzymes derived from domestic waste offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach for waste management while providing multifunctional products with potential applications in sanitation and agriculture.

Abstract

Differences in climate and human activities, such as deforestation and intensive agriculture, can increase litter carbon emissions, thereby contributing to global warming. Waterfall tourism areas possess vegetation characteristics that differ from those of natural forests, making it essential to analyze litter biomass and carbon storage in Pria Laot Waterfall Tourism Area, Sabang City. This study employed a purposive sampling method using transect lines and plots to determine litter biomass, carbon storage, and the environmental parameters influencing these factors. The results showed that the total litter biomass in Pria Laot Waterfall Area, Batee Shoek, Sabang, reached 6.47 kg, with an average of 1.32 kg per transect. Transect 3 exhibited the highest litter biomass (3.52 kg), while Transect 1 recorded the lowest (0.99 kg). The total stored litter carbon in the area was 0.253 kg, with an average of 0.084 kg per transect. Transect 3 also had the highest litter carbon (0.138 kg), whereas Transect 1 had the lowest (0.039 kg). The litter carbon storage in the area amounted to 2.53 tons/ha, with Transect 3 showing the highest value (1.38 tons/ha) and Transect 1 the lowest (0.39 tons/ha). The study concludes that variations exist in litter biomass and carbon storage across transects, where transects located near settlements exhibited higher biomass and carbon storage. These findings indicate that environmental factors play a crucial role in determining litter and carbon distribution.

Abstract

Langsa City faces escalating challenges from hydrometeorological disasters that threaten socio-economic stability, as evidenced by the extreme flooding event on November 26, 2025. This study aims to formulate an integration model between local spatial planning policies (RDTR/RTRW) and capacity-based disaster mitigation paradigms within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, specifically Goal 13 (Climate Action). Employing a descriptive qualitative method with a spatial approach, this research identifies infrastructure vulnerabilities and socio-economic impacts across five districts. Spatial analysis reveals that rice field land cover in Langsa dropped from 2,410 hectares in 2012 to 1,925 hectares in 2025, representing a significant loss of natural water retention. Analysis of the November 26, 2025, event reveals spatial anomalies where floodwaters encroached into zones previously categorized as "low risk," indicating a systemic dysfunction of infiltration systems due to uncontrolled land conversion. Despite the Qanun RTRW mandate for 30% Green Open Space (RTH), field implementation is hindered by limited indigenous engagement in autonomous mitigation. This article recommends a drainage network engineering strategy integrated with Gampong Social Capital specifically institutional trust in Geuchik and Tuha Peut as a sustainable urban resilience solution. These findings contribute to the global urban resilience literature by emphasizing the empowerment of the smallest community units as a mitigation basis in developing nations.

Abstract

Waste management in Lhoknga Subdistrict, Aceh Besar Regency, continues to pose a significant environmental challenge requiring urgent attention. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation in 3R-based (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste management and to examine the relationship between individual characteristics and participation levels. The study employed a quantitative approach using questionnaires distributed to 100 randomly selected respondents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) implemented in SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicated that the highest level of community participation occurred in labor contributions (70%), followed by material contribution (53%), waste management practices (51%), and ideas (47%), whereas skills-based participation was the lowest (37%). The SmartPLS analysis revealed that individual characteristics significantly influenced participation in ideas (P=0.000), labor (P=0.002), and skills (P=0.012), but had no significant effect on material contribution (P=0.230) and waste management practices (P=0.242). These findings indicate that enhancing community participation in 3R-based waste management requires educational and community empowerment programs tailored to local community characteristics, supported by adequate waste management infrastructure and sustained government commitment.

Abstract

The On-Site Domestic Wastewater Management System (OWMS) serves as the primary sanitation service in Banda Aceh, playing a critical role in managing household wastewater. This study aims to analyze the existing conditions of OWMS infrastructure, evaluate the performance of its management, and formulate improvement strategies using a SWOT analysis. The research employed a descriptive approach with data collection conducted through field surveys, interviews, direct observations, and secondary data from relevant municipal agencies. Samples were selected purposively from septic tank users, faecal sludge transport operators, Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) personnel, and technical institutions. The findings indicate that the OWMS infrastructure faces several challenges across its subsystems, including household-level treatment, sludge transportation, and sludge processing. These challenges include low frequencies of scheduled desludging, limited vehicle availability, and insufficient public awareness regarding safe sanitation practices. Furthermore, the management evaluation highlights the need for regulatory strengthening, improved inter-agency coordination, and operational enhancements. The SWOT analysis produced several priority strategies, including capacity development, optimization of scheduled desludging services, institutional strengthening, and expanded sanitation education. This study provides foundational insights to improve on-site sanitation systems and support the achievement of safe sanitation services in Banda Aceh.

Abstract

Urban drainage systems in Meulaboh City face increasing challenges due to rapid urbanization, extensive impervious surfaces, and inadequate stormwater management. This study evaluated the performance of the existing drainage system and assessed the effectiveness of Low Impact Development (LID) practices using the EPA SWMM 5.2.4 model. Hydrological and hydraulic simulations were conducted under existing conditions and three LID scenarios: rain barrels, permeable pavement, and vegetative swales. Results showed that drainage channels S30, S53, S63, S71, and S107 experienced overflow due to insufficient channel capacity, sedimentation, and limited infiltration areas. LID implementation reduced runoff volume and peak discharge compared to existing conditions. Rain barrels achieved the highest runoff reduction (11–16%), followed by permeable pavement (up to 12%), while vegetative swales showed limited effectiveness (<1%). Although overflow was not completely eliminated, the findings demonstrate that LID practices can significantly improve urban drainage performance and provide a sustainable approach to stormwater management in Meulaboh City.

Abstract

Urban public spaces play an important role in improving environmental quality and human well-being; however, studies examining the implementation of biophilic design in tropical urban parks remain limited, particularly in the context of coastal cities in Indonesia. This study addresses this gap by exploring the integration of biophilic design principles in BNI Urban Forest Park (Hutan Tibang), Banda Aceh. The objectives are to identify existing biophilic elements, evaluate their ecological and restorative functions, and formulate recommendations to strengthen biophilic integration in tropical urban public spaces. A qualitative-descriptive methodological framework was employed through literature review, analysis of park management documents, field observation, visual documentation, and theoretical assessment based on Kellert’s biophilic design framework. The results reveal that the park incorporates several key biophilic elements, including mangrove vegetation, tree canopies, visual connections with water, and natural-material walkways, which contribute to ecological quality, thermal comfort, and visitor well-being. Nevertheless, deficiencies were identified in environmental education facilities, biodiversity interpretation, accessibility, and integrated blue–green infrastructure. These findings suggest that while the park demonstrates substantial biophilic potential, further interventions are needed to enhance its ecological and social performance. Practical implications include the implementation of interpretive signage, functional zoning, small-scale bioretention systems, sustainable vegetation management, and community-based conservation programs. The study contributes to the development of biophilic design strategies for resilient and inclusive tropical urban parks.
