Abstract

Rapid urbanization has led to changes in the landscape structure of Green Open Spaces (GOS), impacting bird diversity and dominance. This study aims to analyze the influence of GOS landscape structure on the diversity index (H') and dominance index (D) of birds in the southern region of Makassar City. The research employs multiple linear regression analysis with independent variables including GOS area, vegetation structure, habitat fragmentation, distance from disturbance sources, and human activity levels. The results indicate that bird diversity is classified as moderate, with the highest H' value recorded in Benteng Somba Opu (2.89) and the lowest in GOS Gunung Sari (2.27). The dominance index shows that no species significantly dominates (the highest D value of 0.119 in Gunung Sari, and the lowest of 0.060 at the Je’neberang Riverbank). Significant variables influencing species diversity include GOS area, vegetation structure, and distance from disturbance sources. The findings suggest that larger and more complex vegetation structures in GOS contribute to higher bird diversity. This study offers insights for more sustainable GOS management and serves as a foundation for urban biodiversity conservation planning, particularly in response to the pressures of urbanization.Abstrak Urbanisasi yang pesat menyebabkan perubahan struktur lanskap Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH), berdampak pada keanekaragaman dan dominansi burung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh struktur lanskap RTH terhadap indeks keanekaragaman (H') dan dominansi (D) aves di wilayah selatan Kota Makassar. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi linier berganda dengan variabel independen luas RTH, struktur vegetasi, fragmentasi habitat, jarak dari sumber gangguan, dan tingkat aktivitas manusia.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keanekaragaman aves tergolong sedang, dengan nilai H' tertinggi di Benteng Somba Opu (2.89) dan terendah di RTH Gunung Sari (2.27). Indeks dominansi menunjukkan tidak ada spesies yang mendominasi secara signifikan (D tertinggi 0.119 di Gunung Sari, terendah 0.060 di Sempadan Sungai Je’neberang). Variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keanekaragaman spesies adalah luas RTH, struktur vegetasi, dan jarak dari sumber gangguan. Semakin luas dan kompleks vegetasi RTH, semakin tinggi keanekaragaman aves. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan bagi pengelolaan RTH yang lebih berkelanjutan serta menjadi dasar perencanaan konservasi biodiversitas perkotaan, khususnya dalam menghadapi tekanan urbanisasi.

Abstract

Microhydro Power Plant (MHP) is a promising renewable energy solution for remote rural areas that have not been reached by electricity, especially in areas with abundant water resources. This study aims to identify potential locations for MHP development in the Sembakung Watershed, North Kalimantan, by integrating the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) methods. Seven spatial parameters were used in the analysis, namely elevation, slope, distance from the river, land cover, number of electricity customers, and level of ground motion vulnerability. Each parameter was weighted using AHP based on its level of influence on the feasibility of MHP development, and processed in GIS to produce a location suitability map. The results of the analysis show that the Lumbis Ogong sub-district area has a high level of suitability for MHP development, supported by ideal geographical characteristics and urgent electrical energy needs. This study shows that the AHP-SIG approach is effective in supporting spatial decision-making and can be a local potential-based renewable energy planning strategy. The findings also provide an opportunity to sustainably accelerate rural electrification in Indonesia's border regions, which are still lagging in terms of energy infrastructure.

Abstract

Clean water is a fundamental need that plays a crucial role in maintaining human quality of life and supporting sustainable regional development. However, increasing development activities, land-use changes, and environmental degradation have significantly reduced the capacity of ecosystems to provide essential environmental services, including water provisioning. This study aims to analyze the environmental carrying capacity based on water provisioning ecosystem services (P2) in Magelang Regency using a spatial-analytical approach. The research method integrates data on ecoregions, land cover derived from SPOT 7 satellite imagery interpretation, and ecosystem service coefficients (KJE) obtained through expert assessment. The analysis was conducted using an overlay method between ecoregion maps and land cover data to produce a spatial distribution map of water provisioning ecosystem services. The results show that approximately 47.80% of Magelang Regency has high to very high potential for water provisioning, with the very high category accounting for 35.47%. Secang (63.34%) and Grabag (35.67%) sub-districts represent the areas with the highest capacity, while Salaman (58.23%) and Borobudur (53.54%) demonstrate low capacity due to the geomorphological characteristics of the Menoreh Hills. These findings highlight the importance of recharge area management and watershed protection in spatial planning policies to ensure the sustainability of clean water provision in Magelang Regency. AbstrakAir bersih merupakan kebutuhan dasar yang berperan penting dalam menjaga kualitas hidup manusia serta mendukung keberlanjutan pembangunan wilayah. Namun demikian, peningkatan aktivitas pembangunan, perubahan penggunaan lahan, dan degradasi lingkungan telah menurunkan kapasitas ekosistem dalam menyediakan jasa lingkungan, termasuk penyediaan air bersih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya dukung lingkungan berbasis jasa ekosistem penyedia air bersih (P2) di Kabupaten Magelang melalui pendekatan spasial-analitik. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan mengintegrasikan data ekoregion, penutupan lahan hasil interpretasi citra satelit SPOT 7, serta koefisien jasa ekosistem (KJE) yang diperoleh melalui penilaian pakar. Analisis dilakukan dengan metode tumpang susun (overlay) antara peta ekoregion dan penutupan lahan untuk menghasilkan peta distribusi daya dukung jasa ekosistem penyedia air bersih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 47,80% wilayah Kabupaten Magelang memiliki potensi tinggi hingga sangat tinggi dalam penyediaan air bersih, dengan kategori sangat tinggi mencapai 35,47%. Kecamatan Secang (63,34%) dan Grabag (35,67%) merupakan wilayah dengan kapasitas tertinggi, sedangkan Kecamatan Salaman (58,23%) dan Borobudur (53,54%) menunjukkan kapasitas rendah akibat kondisi geomorfologi perbukitan Menoreh. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pengelolaan kawasan resapan serta perlindungan wilayah tangkapan air dalam kebijakan tata ruang guna menjamin keberlanjutan penyediaan air bersih di Kabupaten Magelang.

Abstract

Microplastics have become a significant pollutant that threatens marine ecosystems and human health. Exposure can occur through various pathways, including the consumption of contaminated seafood, drinking water, and airborne particles, all of which may trigger immune disturbances, inflammation, and other toxic effects. This literature review aims to analyze the impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems and human health. Data were collected from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect using keywords related to microplastics, focusing on international publications published between 2019 and 2025. A total of seven relevant articles were reviewed. The findings show that microplastics have contaminated seawater, sediments, and coral reefs, with dominant polymers such as polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PES). The primary sources of microplastics originate from anthropogenic activities, including industrial waste, tourism, and maritime transportation. Impacts on marine ecosystems include physiological disturbances in organisms, reduced reproductive capacity, and increased mortality rates among marine life. Coral reefs also experience declining health due to disrupted photosynthesis of zooxanthellae. In humans, microplastic exposure may affect the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems and may lead to chronic inflammation and increased cancer risk. Nano-sized particles from plastic containers can also stimulate immune responses.

Abstract

The present study aims to examine the relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care attitudes among students of the Science Education Study Program at Makassar State University. Understanding this relationship is essential not only for strengthening students’ ecological competencies but also for supporting the development of environmental education in higher education. This research employed a quantitative correlational design to determine the degree of association between the variables. Data were collected from students enrolled in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year using two instruments: a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure environmental care attitudes and a multiple-choice test to assess environmental knowledge. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula to ensure representativeness, and the data were analyzed in SPSS through descriptive analysis using frequency distributions and inferential analysis using Pearson’s product–moment correlation test. The results show that 80% of the students possess good environmental knowledge, and 82% exhibit good environmental care attitudes. The correlation test indicates a significant relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care attitudes (p-value < 0.05), suggesting that higher levels of environmental knowledge are associated with stronger pro-environmental attitudes.
