Abstract

This research investigates the environmental comfort conditions—thermal, visual, and acoustic—in six functional spaces at SD Negeri 8 Ragunan, South Jakarta, a public elementary school recognized for its sustainability-focused infrastructure. The study emphasizes the relevance of indoor environmental quality in shaping students’ cognitive performance, well-being, and overall learning experience. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative field measurements with qualitative spatial analysis. Data collection included temperature (28.5°C–32.1°C), relative humidity (65%–78%), light intensity (263–712 lux), and sound levels (41.3–64.5 dBA), measured in four classrooms, one hall, and one teachers’ room. Qualitative data involved architectural observations on ventilation, daylight access, and environmental policy signage. Results were benchmarked against Indonesian national standards (SNI 6390:2011, SNI 6197:2020, SNI 6386:2000) and international guidelines (ASHRAE 55-2017, GBCI). Findings indicate that temperature and illumination were within permissible thresholds, and visual connectivity reached 94.83%, exceeding GBCI’s 75% standard. However, humidity levels consistently surpassed the 60% threshold, and noise levels occasionally exceeded recommended limits, particularly in rooms near traffic exposure. Moreover, anti-smoking signage was insufficient and inconsistently placed. These results highlight the need for integrated environmental management strategies in school buildings. The study contributes to the discourse on sustainable educational facilities and supports the implementation of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), particularly in rapidly urbanizing tropical regions.

Abstract

This study investigates mud management in the West Banko area at PT Bukit Asam, focusing on predicting erosion rates, estimating mud volumes, and evaluating sediment pond (KPL) capacity. The methodology integrates field data collection (rainfall, runoff, and soil properties), the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) approach—considering rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), and cover-management (C)—and sediment delivery ratio (SDR) analysis to estimate sediment yield. Results indicate that the predicted annual erosion rate reached 10,818,825.04 m³/year in Pit SJS, 3,190,396.61 m³/year in Pit E, and 1,642,899.98 m³/year in Pit 3 East. After applying SDR values, the corresponding estimated mud (sediment yield) volumes were 3,129,918.88 m³/year (Pit SJS), 971,015.11 m³/year (Pit E), and 500,266.05 m³/year (Pit 3 East). These findings highlight the significant sediment load generated by mining activities, requiring large-capacity sediment ponds to maintain sump functionality and prevent pump inefficiency. The scientific contribution of this study lies in providing a comprehensive quantitative framework for predicting erosion and sediment yield in dynamic open-pit mining environments. By combining hydrological, soil, and slope factors into an integrated mud management system, the research enhances environmental engineering practices by supporting optimized sump design, sediment pond planning, and sustainable water management strategies. Overall, effective mud management not only ensures operational efficiency and slope stability but also minimizes environmental risks, aligning coal mining operations with good mining practices and regulatory compliance.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential use of eggshell ash and green mussel shell ash as partial cement substitutes in the production of paving blocks intended for pedestrian pavement applications. The research aims to support sustainable construction practices by reducing cement consumption while maintaining adequate mechanical performance. An experimental method was adopted by incorporating the biowaste ashes into paving block mixtures at substitution levels of 2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% by weight of cement, with conventional paving blocks used as control specimens. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with Indonesian National Standards to evaluate aggregate physical properties, compressive strength at curing ages of 7 and 28 days, and water absorption behavior. The results show that paving blocks containing eggshell and green mussel shell ash achieved compressive strength values that met and, in some cases, exceeded the minimum requirement for pedestrian pavements. The optimum mixture was observed at a substitution level of approximately 5%, where the 28-day compressive strength surpassed the target design strength of 20 MPa, despite a minor reduction in early-age strength at 7 days. Water absorption values remained within acceptable limits, indicating that the inclusion of biowaste ash did not negatively affect durability-related performance. These findings highlight that calcium-rich biowaste materials can be effectively utilized as sustainable cement substitutes in non-structural paving applications. The study contributes to the advancement of circular economy strategies in the construction sector by promoting waste valorization, minimizing environmental impact, and offering an eco-friendly alternative for pedestrian infrastructure development.

Abstract

Urban flooding remains a persistent challenge in developing cities, often attributed not only to insufficient drainage capacity but also to operational issues such as sedimentation and solid waste accumulation. This study aims to evaluate the hydraulic performance of an existing urban drainage system and to determine its capacity in accommodating design discharge generated from rainfall and domestic wastewater in a residential area of Pontianak, Indonesia. The research applies integrated hydrological and hydraulic analyses using both primary and secondary data. Field observations were conducted to obtain channel dimensions, sedimentation levels, and existing physical conditions. Meanwhile, secondary data consisted of ten years of maximum daily rainfall records. Rainfall frequency analysis was carried out using the Gumbel distribution, while rainfall intensity was estimated using the Mononobe method. The rational method was then employed to calculate design discharge, which was compared with the existing channel capacity under both ideal and sediment-affected conditions. The findings reveal that the drainage system is hydraulically capable of conveying the design discharge under optimal conditions. However, the effective capacity is significantly reduced due to sediment deposition, solid waste accumulation, structural deterioration, and uneven road surfaces. These factors collectively reduce flow efficiency and contribute to localized flooding. This study highlights that drainage system performance is strongly influenced by maintenance practices and environmental conditions, emphasizing the need for integrated management strategies to achieve sustainable urban flood mitigation.

Abstract

The global REDD+ framework designed to curb greenhouse gas emissions by reducing deforestation and forest degradation has become a central pillar of international climate mitigation efforts, particularly in tropical forest nations such as Indonesia. Despite its significant potential, the implementation of REDD+ in Indonesia continues to encounter systemic barriers that undermine its effectiveness. Key challenges include fragmented and weak governance systems, inconsistent and unpredictable financial support, unresolved land tenure arrangements, and the persistent exclusion of indigenous and local communities from meaningful participation in forest management. These structural limitations diminish the capacity of REDD+ to generate measurable and sustained climate benefits. This study provides an in depth examination of the institutional, socio-political, and economic obstacles that constrain REDD+ performance in Indonesia. It argues that the current project oriented and carbon-accounting–driven model must evolve into a more integrated governance architecture that aligns environmental conservation with livelihood security and equitable resource distribution. To strengthen REDD+ outcomes, the research advances several policy innovations, including the decentralization of forest governance, diversification of long-term financing pathways, recognition and protection of customary land rights, and systematic incorporation of local ecological knowledge. Enhanced monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems are also highlighted as essential for ensuring transparency and accountability. Insights from case studies in Central Kalimantan and West Papua further demonstrate that the durability of REDD+ initiatives hinges on community empowerment, clear land tenure arrangements, and reliable funding mechanisms. Together, these findings emphasize the urgent need to redesign REDD+ governance in Indonesia to ensure it functions not only as a climate mitigation instrument but also as a socially just and economically viable conservation strategy.
