Abstract

Mangrove forest is one of the essential components of natural ecosystems. Mangrove forests have various essential functions, such as holding land sediments, tsunamis, and ocean waves, storing large amounts of carbon, and providing various other benefits for coastal and land areas. However, the conversion of mangrove forests has reduced and degraded mangrove land. Therefore, monitoring and conserving land changes in mangrove forests must be carried out to determine the effects on land ecosystems and coastal areas. Remote sensing has the spatial ability to analyze changes in mangrove ecosystems in coastal regions temporally because it has the advantage of using satellite imagery data. This study compares the classification method using multiple image sensors to analyze land cover changes in mangrove forests in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, in 2015-2020. The technique used in this research is the classification of Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and the variety of Maximum Likelihood. The results of Sentinel-1 image analysis using Maximum Likelihood provide information on changes in mangrove land cover during 2015-2020 with an area of 449.17 (Ha), while the results of Landsat 8 analysis using (OBIA) provide information on changes in mangrove land cover 596 (Ha).Keywords: Optics, Radar, OBIA, Maximum Likelihood, Mangrove

Abstract

The national target for reducing waste in the community is 30% by 2025. This research aims to describe the design of a community-based waste management system and formulate an overview of household waste management policies and strategies in the Rengas Pulau Subdistrict. Based on identifying the affecting factors in waste management, a situation analysis is carried out using a SWOT analysis to formulate 19 (nineteen) strategies to optimize community-based waste management. The design of community-based waste management in Rengas Pulau Subdistrict starts from sorting and processing at the household, collecting and processing at TPS 3R. It is estimated that from the 46.20 m3/day, the volume of waste generation that is targeted to be reduced in the community can be processed and managed by the community in households at 19.52 m3/day (70.41%), and the residue is 8.20 m3/day. Meanwhile, household waste processed and managed by KSM at TPS 3R is 13.01 m3 per day (70.40%), and residue is 5.47 m3 per day. Furthermore, the residual waste is transported to TPS and TPA. Communities play a role, from the source of destruction to processing it on a regional scale. The government plays a role by holding a comprehensive waste management outreach and education program and improving the performance of solid waste services. The private sector plays a role by providing support through physical assistance or as an off taker of waste processing products from the community.Keywords: Waste Management, Household Waste, Policy, Community, Government, Private

Abstract

Microplastics are one of the pollutants that threaten aquatic ecosystems and have become the focus of research in recent years by environmentalists worldwide. In addition to harmful base materials, microplastics have hydrophobic characteristics, so chemicals such as Persistent Organic Pollutants can stick to microplastics and cause chemical pollution in aquatics. Siombak Lake is located in the coastal area of Medan City, and it is predicted to be a microplastic distribution channel to the aquatics. This study aimed to analyze the abundance of microplastics in water, sediment, and fish in Siombak Lake. Sampling was conducted from November 2021 – January 2022 at Siombak Lake. Water samples to be analyzed were added with 90 g NaCl, then filtered and separated visually using a microscope. Microplastic in the sediment is separated by drying, volume reduction, density separation, filtration, and visual sorting. Fish samples were dissected, and then the digestive tract content of fish was diluted with 10 ml of saturated NaCl. The abundance of microplastics obtained in waters ranged from 93-519 particles/m3, and the Number of microplastics in sediment ranged from 521-1481 particles/kg dry sediment, while the abundance of microplastics in fish samples ranged from 0-6 particles/individual.Keywords: Microplastic, Abundance, Coastal, Pollutant, Siombak Lake

Abstract

The city of Lhokseumawe often experiences flooding or stagnant rainwater. The Pusong Reservoir that was built could have been ineffective in overcoming the flooding problem due to siltation in the reservoir. Therefore, this study aims to review and recommend the management of the Pusong Reservoir based on suspended sediment discharge which is expected to overcome the silting problem of the reservoir. The sampling method was carried out by determining the stations for sampling based on the environmental baseline in determining the six reservation stations. Samples were analyzed for suspended sediment concentration, turbidity, and incoming sediment discharge. Analysis of suspended sediment concentrations ranged from 9.3 - 50.0 ppm, turbidity ranged from 2.17 - 14.42 NTU, and the incoming suspended sediment discharge was 0.00 - 6946.56 kg/day. Based on the analysis of suspended sediment discharge that enters the reservoir, it is necessary to control sediment transport to prevent siltation does not occur in the Pusong Reservoir. The management of the sediment transport control includes sediment traps, vegetative systems, and Spoil Bank Resulting from Sediment Dredging.Keywords:  Suspended Sediment, Management, Pusong Reservoir, Turbidity

Abstract

Mangrove forests are essential in maintaining the balance of coastal ecosystems and climate change mitigation. This study aimed to analyze carbon stocks in 2022 in natural mangrove forests at Pulau Kampai, Pangkalan Susu Sub District, Langkat District, North Sumatra Province, with an area of approximately 1,786.25 ha. Estimating carbon stocks in this study uses destructive and non-destructive methods using allometric equations from various aboveground and belowground studies. The sampling plots used a circle plot with a radius of 5.64 m. The sampling plot was determined by purposive sampling based on NDVI criteria (low, moderate, dense, high dense) with a sampling plot distance of 20 m from the edge of the coast or river. The destructive sample tree was taken from the dominant species which grew in the study area, namely Rhizophora apiculata, with a diameter of 7.1 cm with a total biomass yield of 91 kg consisting of aboveground biomass of 67.55 kg (74.23%) and belowground biomass was 23.45 kg (25.77 %). Meanwhile, the average C-organic content produced 56% aboveground and 56% belowground. The estimated carbon stocks using this study's conversion factor was 62.06 tons C/ha with a total carbon stock of 110,849.28 tons C. Meanwhile, the conversion factor using other studies was 48.20 tons C/ha with a complete carbon stock of 86,095.30 tons C.Keywords: Destructive, Non-destructive, Carbon Stocks, C-organic, and NDVI

Abstract

The climate in Indonesia usually runs yearly; there are times when a decrease in rainfall results in drought, and at other times, the rainfall increases resulting in flooding. One of the causes of changes in precipitation in Indonesia, including in most parts of the world, is ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation), often called El Nino. This study aimed to determine the relationship between ENSO index data (SST Nino 3.4 anomaly) and monthly rainfall data in Buleleng Regency. This study uses secondary data, namely monthly rainfall data at 16 rain posts in Buleleng Regency and ENSO Index data from BMKG Region III Denpasar. Data were collected through observation, document recording and analyzed using statistical correlation methods. Furthermore, the results are processed spatially, namely by the Isohyet method. The research results show that the impact of El Nino on rainfall in Buleleng varies spatially and depends on the intensity of El Nino. In June-July-August (JJA/dry season) and September-October-November (SON/transition season), the impact of El Nino on rainfall variability in Buleleng Regency is more significant than other months, strong El Nino causes a decrease in rainfall in the majority of the Buleleng region with the characteristic of Below Normal rain (30% decrease in precipitation from the average), El Nino of weak - moderate intensity causes a reduction in rainfall in a small part of the Buleleng area with the dominant rain characteristic of Below Normal.Keywords: El Nino, Precipitation Variability, and Correlation Index.
