Abstract

This paper analyze inqeuality of access to clean water in Penjaringan District which is in coastal area in DKI Jakarta and its impact on health and welfare on people in coastal areas. The existing problem is community daily activities using groundwater as the primary source for daily water needs, causing land subsidence and seawater intrusion into groundwater, hence the decline on the groundwater’s quality and consequently it cannot be used to meet community’s water demand. Qualitative approach is used in this paper. The main analysis method used is analytical descriptive methods. The results obtained shows that there is a shortage of clean water in the community in Penjaringan District, and to meet their daily water needs, only 60,10% of people in Penjaringan District were able to get access of clean water from government’s water supply companies, and the other 38,79% people chose to buy water from another parties. The impacts are seen on the low welfare in the poor community side. Another impact is the minimum standard for health services in Penjaringan Districts still hasnt been fulfilled yet hence it can affect health services available in that district. It can be concluded that there are an imbalance of meeting community demand for clean water in Penjaringan District and it has impacts on the health and welafer of the community.

Abstract

The waste issue in developing countries such as Indonesia is a problem that seems to never be resolved, mainly due to improper handling by all parties involved. Over time, this will affect the environmental balance. If this issue is not taken seriously, the amount of generated waste will increase every year, in line with the higher population growth and development. Makassar is one of the cities facing waste problems, especially at the final disposal site called TPA Tamangapa. The TPA Tamangapa covers an area of 16.8 hectares with a waste capacity of 927,749.76 m3, but in reality, the waste volume from 2015-2019 has exceeded the maximum limit at 946,441.37 m3. The identified problems in this research are: TPA Tamangapa has been in an overcapacity status since 2019 and still uses an open dumping system, which has the most significant negative impact on the environment, and the waste reduction efforts at TPA Tamangapa in Makassar are not yet optimal. The method used is literature review, identifying, evaluating, and analyzing existing research and journals. Additional data are obtained from the BPS Makassar and UPTD Tamangapa. In conclusion, addressing the overcapacity issue of TPA Tamangapa in Makassar since 2019 requires special attention and appropriate actions from the government and the involvement of all parties. Reducing the amount of waste can be achieved by maximizing waste separation from its source, thereby optimizing the performance of local scavengers who play a significant role in reducing waste at TPA Tamangapa in Makassar.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), declared by 193 countries at the UN on September 25, 2015, serve as the foundation for global development. Building upon previous agendas, the SDGs emphasize three pillars of sustainable development: social, economic, and environmental. Cities, as centers of economic growth, face complex challenges in waste management. Urban waste, especially organic waste, requires special handling as it tends to decompose and create adverse environmental impacts if not managed properly. In the context of Indonesia, more than 65% of urban waste is organic, primarily food leftovers. To mitigate its impact, waste management is not sufficient merely with collection, transportation, and disposal at final disposal sites (TPA). Waste must be processed into useful goods, such as through recycling. This research proposes a Zero Waste approach to urban waste management. This concept involves waste prevention from the outset, reduction, reuse, recycling, and minimal waste residual management. Many cities worldwide, such as Canberra, Adelaide, and Stockholm, have successfully implemented Zero Waste strategies. In the Indonesian context, Surabaya is a successful example of effective urban waste management, involving various programs from waste banks to electricity generation from landfill gas. However, challenges in urban waste management persist. There is a need for new initiatives, such as involving more stakeholders from private to public sectors in the Zero Waste concept, and strengthening the government's role in implementing regulations supporting sustainable waste management. Additionally, education and public campaigns are crucial to raise awareness among the public about the importance of responsible waste management. Thus, this research highlights the importance of Zero Waste strategies in addressing urban waste management issues to achieve sustainable development goals.

Abstract

Greenwashing is a practice in which businesses or companies present false or misleading information about their sustainability initiatives for marketing purposes. This occurs when companies communicate positive environmental actions while hiding negative ones, creating a misleading impression of overall environmental performance. Greenwashing can occur through two actions: falsification (active deceit) and information selection (passive deceit). Information selection involves strategically choosing environmental communication content to eliminate negative information, while falsification involves creating false communication content. To avoid greenwashing, parameters such as data transparency, equal treatment, environmental focus, water efficiency, carbon footprint, waste packaging, and fair wages can be analyzed for an entity. Additionally, guidelines from the United States Federal Trade Commission (US-FTC) can also help differentiate between greenwashing practices and sustainable practices. However, in certain cases such as the Lindungi Hutan crowdfunding platform, there are several issues hindering environmental conservation efforts. The crowdfunding scheme used does not check the background of companies or individuals donating, allowing donations to come from businesses that have negative impacts on the environment. Additionally, the lack of annual public reports reduces transparency and accountability in fund management. Although this platform has various activities for environmental conservation, the effectiveness and impact of these activities are not well disclosed. Furthermore, claims from donors about their participation in environmental care programs are not aligned with the sustainability principles that should be followed. In conclusion, companies should focus on internal improvements and adhere to sustainability principles to avoid greenwashing. Additionally, crowdfunding platforms like Lindungi Hutan need to enhance transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of their programs to ensure a real contribution to environmental preservation.
