Abstract

Municipal solid waste management studies increasingly emphasize landfill upgrading and environmental safeguards, yet limited empirical evidence remains on how controlled landfill operations perform under district-level resource constraints and fluctuating waste inflow, creating a gap in operationally grounded evaluations. This study assesses the operational system and environmental management of TPA Batu Terang, the main final disposal facility in Bantaeng Regency, Indonesia, focusing on daily waste inflow dynamics, leachate and landfill gas management, nuisance impacts, social dimensions, and institutional capacity. A qualitative descriptive case study design was applied using field observations and an in-depth semi-structured interview with the Head of the Environmental Agency. Reported waste inflow averaged 27.49 tons/day, periodically increasing to 30–32 tons/day due to routine clean-up programs and increased food and packaging residuals linked to the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) initiative. The facility implements controlled landfill practices with periodic soil cover, supported by a weighbridge and computerized recording that enables semi-annual reporting and improves accountability. Environmental management is strengthened by a leachate collection system and staged multi-pond treatment (intake–facultative–maturation–biofilter), described as operating within capacity. However, methane utilization remains limited and odor persists as the most salient community concern, typically addressed through reactive covering. Key constraints include aging heavy equipment, limited budgets, human resource needs, and suboptimal source separation. Findings imply that phased improvements prioritizing routine cover discipline, equipment maintenance financing, incremental gas control and monitoring, and upstream waste diversion are essential to reduce impacts and support transition toward an integrated final processing facility (TPAS).

Abstract

Recent hospitality waste studies increasingly promote circular organic-waste treatment, yet empirical descriptions of how hotels operationalize low-cost bioconversion pathways (eco-enzyme fermentation and black soldier fly/maggot production) in day-to-day routines remain limited, particularly in Eastern Indonesia. This study aimed to describe the management of hotel organic waste into eco-enzyme and maggot feed at Mercure Makassar (Makassar City, Indonesia) using a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through non-participant observations of kitchen waste flows, in-depth interviews with key hotel personnel (food production, stewarding, housekeeping, engineering, and management), and document review (SOPs, training materials, and relevant local/national regulations). Data were analyzed thematically with iterative coding and triangulation across sources. The findings indicate that the system hinges on (i) source segregation at food-preparation and post-consumption points, (ii) stabilization steps to reduce contamination and odor before processing, (iii) standardized eco-enzyme fermentation using organic residues with sugar/molasses and water ratios commonly reported in the literature (e.g., 1:3:10 or 10:3:1 by weight/volume) and a multi-month maturation period, and (iv) BSF-based bioconversion that rapidly reduces restaurant waste while producing larval biomass and frass as by-products. Implementation is shaped by staff literacy, space constraints, pest-control requirements, and alignment with municipal and national waste-management mandates. Overall, this case demonstrates a feasible, practice-oriented circular pathway for hotels, with implications for SOP development, staff training, and measurable reduction of landfill-bound organic waste in Makassar.

Abstract

Growing interest in plastic waste valorization has highlighted the potential of pyrolysis technology; however, its community-level application remains limited, particularly in rural waste management systems. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen local capacity by implementing pyrolysis technology to convert plastic waste into alternative fuel in Mattiro Ade Village, Pinrang Regency, Indonesia. The program adopted a participatory approach integrating Community-Based Research and Participatory Action Research. Activities included preparation, pyrolysis unit fabrication, operational testing, community outreach, practical training, and transfer of the unit to the local Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste Processing Facility. Qualitative evaluation was conducted through participatory observation of community understanding, involvement, and operational readiness. The results showed improved awareness of plastic waste management, active community participation, and adequate readiness among local operators to use the pyrolysis unit. The initiative also demonstrated the feasibility of introducing small-scale pyrolysis within a community-based waste management framework. By linking plastic waste reduction with alternative fuel production, this program offers a practical pathway for strengthening local environmental governance and promoting circular resource use. Further implementation should prioritize technical assistance, routine monitoring, and fuel quality assessment to support operational sustainability and replication in comparable rural communities.

Abstract

Quality primary healthcare services depend heavily on the availability of safe, high-quality, and affordable pharmaceutical preparations. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the pharmaceutical logistics management system at the Tamalate Community Health Center in Makassar City in 2025. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies of managerial instruments such as LPLPO, stock cards, and minutes. Research informants included the Head of the Community Health Center, Pharmaceutical Technical Personnel, and Warehouse Officers. The results show that the Tamalate Community Health Center has implemented a logistics cycle in accordance with Minister of Health Regulation Number 74 of 2016. The planning stage is carried out using the consumption method using the LPLPO application. At the receiving stage, the community health center implements detailed physical verification per item although it does not use formal minutes for each transaction. Storage has implemented the FEFO and FIFO principles, supported by daily temperature monitoring, although limited warehouse space poses a physical challenge. Distribution is carried out systematically to service units, with challenges in real-time data integration. This study recommends strengthening the digitalization of stock management and optimizing storage infrastructure to ensure the efficiency of the drug supply chain in the digital health era.

Abstract

The use of pesticides in the agricultural sector plays a critical role in supporting food security; however, it simultaneously poses substantial risks to human health and the environment. This article aims to analyze occupational risks associated with pesticide use among farmers using the HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control) framework. Through a structured literature review and synthesis of four case studies, the findings indicate that pesticide exposure generates physical, chemical, biological, and environmental hazards with risk levels ranging from moderate to very high. These risks are exacerbated by inadequate use of personal protective equipment (PPE), limited occupational safety training, and substandard working conditions. The reviewed evidence demonstrates chronic health impacts, including decreased cholinesterase enzyme activity, elevated heavy metal concentrations in farmers’ biological samples, and high dermal exposure levels during pesticide mixing and loading activities. The analysis further identifies critical exposure nodes linked to specific work phases, underscoring the importance of activity-based risk characterization in informal agricultural settings. To address these challenges, this article proposes a field-activity-based HIRARC scenario as a practical analytical tool for systematic risk evaluation in small-scale and informal farming systems. Effective risk control requires a holistic intervention strategy encompassing safety education, improved access to certified PPE, regulatory reinforcement, and community-based as well as technology-supported approaches.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Low public knowledge regarding hypertension risk factors and prevention remains one of the barriers to effective disease control. The development of Indonesian-based health education media is needed to improve community health literacy through the delivery of easily understandable health information. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method to develop Indonesian-based health education media in the form of leaflets, posters, and digital infographics on hypertension prevention. The research stages included needs analysis, media design, development, expert validation, and community trials. Validation was conducted by content experts, media experts, and language experts using a Likert scale instrument. The effectiveness of the media was measured by assessing changes in knowledge using a pre-test and post-test design. The validation results showed that the developed educational media obtained an average feasibility score of 94.0%, categorized as highly feasible. The trial results demonstrated an improvement in community knowledge, with the proportion of respondents in the good knowledge category increasing from 35% to 80%, while the moderate and poor knowledge categories decreased. In conclusion, Indonesian-based health education media is effective in improving community knowledge regarding hypertension prevention and can be utilized as a community-based health promotion medium.
