Abstract

Background: Bagendit Lake is a tourist lake located in Garut (West Java) and has experienced a decline in water quality. This research was conducted in settlements around Bagendit Lake with the aim of studying human activities and the level of concern for the existence of Bagendit Lake. Method: Mix method (Quantitative and Qualitative) was used in this study to collect data about the activities, knowledge education and environmental ethics of the community. The data collection technique was carried out by purposive sampling involving 40 respondents aged between 18-60 years. Data were obtained by conducting field observations, interviews, questionnaires and document recording. Findings: The results showed that the community received environmental knowledge education from schools (54%) and parents (46%). Surprisingly, as many as 93% of respondents stated that they played an active role in preserving the Bagendit Lake. However, various   activities (such as tourism, fisheries, agriculture and settlements) have resulted in environmental damage to Bagendit Lake. It can be concluded that the level of knowledge and public awareness about the impact of activities on the environment has not been maximized. It is necessary to support the local government's role in implementing environmental improvement and conservation.

Abstract

Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses significant ecological challenges by altering the natural light environment. Plants and animals have evolved to depend on natural light cycles for their physiological and behavioral processes. This study investigates the impact of ALAN on the biodiversity of flora and fauna at Kebun Raya Bogor (KRB), a key site for understanding these effects. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach to analyze the effects of ALAN on flora and fauna. By examining existing studies and data, the review focuses on changes in plant physiology, including photosynthesis and growth patterns, as well as alterations in animal behavior, such as foraging, mating, and migration. The review synthesizes findings from various sources to assess the impact of ALAN on biodiversity at KRB. Results: Findings indicate that ALAN disrupts plant photosynthesis and growth, particularly affecting deciduous trees and altering reproductive and growth patterns. For fauna, ALAN significantly impacts the behavior of nocturnal species such as bats and birds, affecting their feeding, mating, and migratory patterns. The disruption in natural light cycles due to ALAN leads to ecological imbalances and may compromise the biodiversity of KRB.

Abstract

Background: Researchers agree on the necessity of a robust framework to adapt to and mitigate climate change, encompassing environmental education, financial support, green tourism, eco-tourism, and conservation projects. This paper investigates the vulnerability of tourism to climate change, tourism under various climate scenarios, and adaptation strategies within this sector. The tourism industry’s reliance on energy sources such as water, electricity, and fossil fuels underscores the need for a thorough evaluation of systems and frameworks to ensure sustainability and resilience. Gedangan Village, located 14 km west of Boyolali's town center, is a major vegetable-producing area in Cepogo District, Central Java, Indonesia, characterized by its productive highland agriculture. Method: This study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach, focusing on a case study in Gedangan Village to understand its potential, issues, and transformations. The location was purposively selected due to its relevance, and data was collected through purposive sampling of key informants. The paper employs a literature review to support its findings, leveraging various databases and sources. Conclusion: The conclusion highlights the need for enhancing technological use and human resources to maximize Gedangan's agricultural potential and address the challenges posed by climate change.
