Abstract

Background: This study examines the waste management crisis at Klotok Final Waste Disposal Site (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir, TPA), Pojok Village, Mojoroto Sub-district, Kediri City, as a representation of socio-ecological problems arising from uncontrolled urbanization. Methods: Employing a qualitative case study approach within Ulrich Beck's Risk Society theoretical framework, this research analyzes the impact of the landfill's overload condition, persisting for more than three decades, on the buffer community of Kelurahan Pojok. Data were obtained through field observation and in-depth interviews with affected residents, supplemented by academic document reviews and government archives. Findings: The results indicate that the systemic transition from controlled landfill to open dumping has transformed Kelurahan Pojok into a sacrifice zone bearing a disproportionate share of the city's ecological burden. Residents face chronic exposure to respiratory disorders, groundwater contamination, odor pollution, and social space degradation—constituting a form of slow violence that erodes community well-being across generations. Government responses have remained ad hoc and technocratic, failing to address structural roots, while public participation was ignored from the landfill's inception. Conclusion: This study affirms that the Klotok Final Waste Disposal Site crisis is a manifestation of organized irresponsibility, demanding a paradigmatic shift toward ecological justice-based governance and meaningful community participation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel application of Beck's Risk Society framework to an underexplored peri-urban landfill context in Indonesia, revealing how manufactured uncertainty and organized irresponsibility operate at the intersection of local governance failure and ecological injustice.

Abstract

Background: Peri-urban residential expansion in tropical Indonesia increasingly requires environmental baselines that connect routine climatic evidence with practical stormwater planning. This article develops a decadal rainfall baseline for the planned Sunville Residence area in Paccinongang, Somba Opu District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, using a 2015-2024 monthly precipitation matrix extracted from NASA POWER data. Methods: The study applies descriptive climatology, interannual variability analysis, Schmidt-Ferguson wet-dry month classification, and Oldeman agroclimatic interpretation. Annual and monthly rainfall were summarized to identify seasonal concentration, wet and dry month structure, and planning-relevant hydrological implications. Findings: Mean annual rainfall reached 2,178.64 mm, with substantial interannual variability from 1,345.22 mm in 2019 to 2,955.56 mm in 2022. The rainfall regime was strongly seasonal, with December, January, February, November, and March forming the main wet-season core, while July to September represented the driest period. Using direct rainfall thresholds, the mean number of wet months was 7.3 and dry months was 3.2, producing a Schmidt-Ferguson Q value of 43.84%, which places the site in type C or moderately wet climate. Oldeman interpretation of the monthly climatological pattern indicates a C3-type agroclimate, characterized by approximately five wet months and four dry months. Conclusion: The baseline indicates that the site is not climatically dry; rather, its environmental risk is shaped by high wet-season water input, pronounced seasonality, and the possibility of rapid runoff if land conversion increases impervious cover. Novelty/Originality of this article: The article translates a project-level rainfall dataset into an international-style environmental planning approach by linking climate classification, peri-urban land conversion, and stormwater-sensitive design recommendations for a specific Indonesian residential development context.

Abstract

Background: Peri-urban housing expansion in tropical Indonesia requires environmental baselines that are not limited to rainfall, but also capture wind direction, wind speed, temperature, solar radiation, humidity, and atmospheric pressure as interacting microclimatic controls. This study develops an integrated microclimate and wind-driven exposure baseline for the planned Sunville Residence area in Paccinongang, Somba Opu District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. Methods: The manuscript applies a descriptive quantitative design using secondary meteorological data for 2015-2024 and a 2025 windrose overlay map. Variables included wind direction and speed, air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, and air pressure. The analysis combined descriptive statistics, seasonal interpretation, Beaufort-scale wind classification, wind-driven receptor interpretation, and climate-responsive site-planning synthesis. Findings: The site is characterized by dominant easterly flow toward the west, low average wind speed of approximately 1.5-2.0 m/s, and a dominant wind-speed band of 2-3 m/s representing about 35%-40% of observed conditions. Monthly mean air temperature ranged from 27.40 °C in July to 29.23 °C in November, while maximum temperature reached 33.12 °C in October. Mean solar radiation ranged from 1.77 kWh/m2/day in July to 2.90 kWh/m2/day in March. Relative humidity remained high, with mean values from 70.42% in September to 84.20% in February, while mean pressure was stable between 99.70 and 99.90 kPa. Conclusion: The study shows that climate-responsive residential planning in Gowa should combine westward dust and nuisance control, shade-oriented thermal mitigation, moisture-resilient design, passive ventilation, and microclimate monitoring. Novelty/Originality of this article: The article converts a local environmental baseline into an internationally structured planning approach by integrating windrose exposure, Beaufort classification, and tropical microclimate parameters into practical recommendations for peri-urban residential development

Abstract

Background: Peri-urban housing expansion can create employment, service demand, and neighborhood development opportunities, but it can also intensify runoff, traffic congestion, waste generation, and conflict over environmental quality. This study examined how socioeconomic conditions, Bugis-Makassar cultural cohesion, and environmental risk perception shaped community acceptance around the proposed Sunville Residence development in Paccinongang, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive case study combined 2024 official statistics, field observation, and a 2025 structured survey of 55 nearby residents. The analysis used frequencies, percentages, cross-checking of aggregated tables, and interpretive triangulation because the source report did not provide a probability sampling frame or individual-level dataset. Findings: Support for the project reached 96.36%, mainly because respondents expected local employment (56.36%) and contribution to area development (34.54%). Support coexisted with high concern about traffic congestion (85.45%) and flooding (70.91%). Respondents prioritized drainage and flood management (40.00%), construction and operational waste management (27.27%), and local labor recruitment (16.36%). Social cohesion was strong: all respondents reported continuing mutual cooperation and community meetings, while 96.36% reported that traditional practices remained active. Conclusion: Acceptance was therefore high but conditional. Environmental legitimacy requires demonstrable drainage capacity, waste and traffic controls, local benefit sharing, accessible grievance handling, and participatory monitoring. Novelty/Originality of this article: The article integrates social acceptance, environmental risk perception, and Bugis-Makassar social capital to explain why strong support for peri-urban housing can coexist with substantial environmental concern.

Abstract

Background: Meteorological baselines are essential for interpreting ambient air-quality dynamics in humid tropical lowlands because rainfall, humidity, temperature, and wind jointly regulate wet deposition, pollutant dilution, atmospheric stagnation, and smoke transport. This study characterizes the climatic and dispersion-relevant meteorological setting of the PT X study area in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods: Monthly meteorological data for 2011-2024 were compiled from the NASA POWER source-native dataset at -2.5486° latitude and 114.6967° longitude, approximately 5 m above sea level. Rainfall was classified using the Schmidt-Ferguson Q index, and rainfall, 2-m air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed were evaluated through descriptive climatological analysis. Findings: The study area had an average of 0.86 dry months, 0.64 humid months, and 10.50 wet months per year, producing a Q value of 8.16 and a Type A very wet climate. Mean annual rainfall was 2,878 mm, with the highest annual total in 2020 (3,865 mm) and the lowest in 2023 (2,245 mm). Mean annual air temperature was 26.5 °C, relative humidity averaged 88.4%, and monthly wind speeds were consistently very low, with a mean of 0.088 m s-1. Southeast and east winds dominated the monthly wind field. Conclusion: The site is persistently humid but still has a mid-year to early late-year rainfall minimum and weak atmospheric ventilation, conditions that can intensify pollutant accumulation when biomass burning, road dust, or operational emissions occur. Novelty/Originality of this article: The article provides a site-specific, meteorological baseline for air-quality assessment in a data-sparse tropical lowland by integrating Schmidt-Ferguson climate classification with dispersion-relevant humidity and wind metrics.

Abstract

Background: Peri-urban residential development can change local environmental conditions through dust generation, traffic-related emissions, equipment operation, and community noise. Baseline assessment is therefore needed before construction to distinguish existing environmental pressure from future project-related impacts. This study assesses ambient air quality and environmental noise around the planned Sunville Residence development in Kelurahan Paccinongang, Somba Opu District, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive quantitative baseline design was used. Primary monitoring data from two strategic points were analyzed: one point within the project site and one point at the nearest settlement near a main road. Ambient air parameters included TSP/PM10, SO2, NO2, O3, CO, and Pb. Noise was evaluated at an internal project point and a settlement receptor. Measured values were compared with applicable Indonesian standards, and air quality was interpreted using the ISPU category. Findings: All ambient air pollutants were below the reported national standards. The conservative T2-BSP values represented 21.7% of the TSP/PM10 standard, 25.1% of the SO2 standard, 13.2% of the NO2 standard, 19.4% of the O3 standard, 11.5% of the CO standard, and approximately 1.0% of the Pb standard. ISPU values for TSP/PM10, SO2, NO2, O3, and CO were 22, 13, 13, 10, and 6, respectively, all categorized as Good. Noise at the internal project point was 50 dB(A), below the residential benchmark of 55 dB(A), while the nearest settlement point reached 62 dB(A), exceeding the benchmark by 7 dB(A). Conclusion: The study area has a favorable pre-construction air-quality baseline, but settlement noise is already above the residential standard and requires receptor-sensitive management. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article integrates ambient air compliance, ISPU communication, and receptor-based noise interpretation into a management-oriented baseline for environmentally responsible peri-urban housing development.

Abstract

Background: Peri-urban residential development can replace agricultural and ruderal habitats, simplify ecological structure, and alter adjacent freshwater communities. Baseline studies are often presented descriptively without checking taxonomic or arithmetic consistency. This study evaluated terrestrial and aquatic biological conditions at the proposed Sunville Residence site and the connected Tamangapa Canal in Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Methods: The 2025 baseline dataset included count-based inventories of herb and shrub vegetation, direct observations and community information for terrestrial fauna and nekton, and phytoplankton observations at two canal stations. Shannon diversity, Pielou evenness, and Simpson concentration were independently recalculated from the tabulated abundances. A planning-level biomass estimate used the reported 29.67 ha conversion area, a crop-biomass assumption of 12 t/ha, and an urban-tree biomass equivalence of 35 t/ha. Findings: The source listed 50 herb records and 51 shrub records. Herb counts summed to 1,938, rather than the reported 1,926, and produced H′=3.103; the reported H′=3.116 was reproduced only when the lower denominator was used. Shrub counts summed consistently to 6,473, but recalculation produced H′=3.452, compared with the reported 3.1162. The faunal survey recorded two mammals, three birds, one amphibian, two reptiles, one annelid group, six arthropod groups, and three fish taxa, with several identifications requiring taxonomic verification. Phytoplankton diversity was moderate at the upstream station (H′=1.364) and downstream station (H′=1.197); both communities were uneven and dominated numerically by Navicula and Oscillatoria records. According to the source classification table, these values indicate moderate rather than light pollution. The biomass assumptions yielded 356.04 t of existing biomass and an equivalent tree-based green-space area of 10.17 ha. Conclusion: The site retains diverse but disturbance-associated vegetation, limited observed vertebrate richness, and a canal plankton community that warrants physicochemical and seasonal verification. Development approval should be linked to riparian avoidance, taxonomic confirmation, functionally diverse green infrastructure, invasive-species control, and repeated post-construction monitoring. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study combines terrestrial and aquatic baseline evidence with an explicit audit of biodiversity indices, totals, pollution interpretation, and biomass calculations, then converts the corrected evidence into measurable biodiversity-management actions for a peri-urban housing project.

Abstract

Background: Rapid conversion of peri-urban land to housing increases impervious cover, accelerates runoff, and can overload small drainage corridors. This study evaluated the hydrological baseline and proposed stormwater infrastructure for the Sunville Residence development in Paccinongang, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Methods: The assessment integrated creek geometry and velocity surveys conducted in June and December 2025, NASA Global Precipitation Measurement rainfall for 2015–2024, a 24-month comparison with nearby Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency gauge maxima, partial-duration screening above 50 mm/day, reported Gumbel design rainfall, Mononobe rainfall intensity, the Rational Method, open-channel hydraulic checks, detention-volume calculations, and suspended-sediment loads. Satellite validation used bias, mean absolute error, root mean square error, Pearson correlation, percent bias, and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency. Findings: Observed creek discharge ranged from 0.495 to 0.660 m³/s. NASA rainfall underestimated gauge maxima by 8.98 mm on average, with a mean absolute error of 18.13 mm, root mean square error of 24.75 mm, correlation of 0.68, percent bias of −19.82%, and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency of 0.36. The reported 10-year design rainfall and intensity were 122.91 mm and 7.34 mm/h. Estimated runoff increased from 1.29 m³/s during construction to 1.80 m³/s during operation as the runoff coefficient rose from 0.25 to 0.35. The proposed channel capacity was 1.90 m³/s, leaving only 0.10 m³/s or 5.6% hydraulic margin. An illustrative aggregate bias adjustment increased operational runoff to 2.24 m³/s, above the stated capacity. A 13,000 m³ sedimentation pond marginally exceeded the corrected 8-hour storage requirement of 12,960 m³. Estimated sediment load increased from 1.25 t/day upstream to 1.40 t/day downstream. Conclusion: The proposed system is nominally adequate under the reported design event, but its narrow capacity and storage margins require reconciliation of input inconsistencies, sensitivity testing, clogging allowances, and integrated source-control measures before final engineering approval. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study combines hydrological calculation with a reproducibility audit that identifies numerical and documentation inconsistencies that materially affect drainage safety decisions in a fast-growing Indonesian residential catchment.

Abstract

Background: Rapid residential expansion at metropolitan fringes can increase traffic demand on collector roads, create access conflicts, and reduce operational reliability at median openings. This study assessed the traffic implications of the planned Sunville Residence development on Tun Abdul Razak Road in Paccinongang, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Methods: The analysis synthesized a 2025 traffic impact study covering road geometry, road capacity, weekday and weekend traffic volumes, degree of saturation, level of service, U-turn maneuver times and queue ratios, trip production and attraction, directional distribution, mode share, network loading, parking demand, public transport access, pedestrian facilities, and forecasts to 2032. Capacity calculations followed the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines, while the development scenario added approximately 160 passenger-car units per hour and applied an annual traffic growth rate of 2.98%. Findings: The divided four-lane collector had a reported capacity of 6,314.9 passenger-car units per hour. Existing weekday peak degree of saturation was 0.52 on TAR and 0.55 on TAR II. With development, these values increased to 0.54 and 0.57. Medium vehicles produced the highest U-turn queue ratios, reaching 0.58 at U-turn I and 0.31 at U-turn II. Weekday peak development traffic reached 164 passenger-car units per hour, and 77.3% of generated movements were assigned toward Makassar. Motorcycles represented 84.1% of the observed daily vehicle count. By 2032, weekday peak saturation was projected to reach 0.65 on TAR and 0.69 on TAR II, with the reported level of service declining to D on the most critical weekday periods. Commercial and shophouse uses required 320 parking spaces, including 214 motorcycle, 101 car, and 5 truck spaces. Conclusion: The road network can accommodate initial development traffic, but the limited operational reserve at TAR II, concentrated Makassar-oriented trips, U-turn queuing, and motorcycle-dominated flow require staged access management, safe pedestrian-transit connections, parking control, and annual performance monitoring. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study integrates link performance, median-opening operations, travel-demand components, multimodal access, parking, safety, and pavement-risk considerations within one development-level assessment for a motorcycle-dominated peri-urban corridor.
