Abstract

Background: Waste is a byproduct of various human activities that can lead to environmental pollution, particularly in coastal areas. Improper waste management in coastal zones contributes to significant environmental degradation, affecting both public health and marine ecosystems. This literature review examines the sources of waste in coastal areas, including household waste, industrial waste, and tourism-related waste, and explores their impacts on coastal communities and ecosystems. Objective: This study aims to review scientific articles related to the sources of waste in coastal areas of Indonesia, focusing on identifying the dominant factors contributing to coastal waste pollution. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The literature search targeted articles published between 2016 and 2025, using the keyword "coastal area waste sources." Relevant articles were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The review findings indicate that the low level of public awareness regarding the importance of waste management is a major contributor to coastal pollution in Indonesia. Improper disposal practices, driven by limited knowledge of waste impacts, lead to the accumulation of waste in coastal environments. The improper disposal of waste is closely linked to public health problems, with an increase in pollution-related diseases such as diarrhea and skin infections reported in several coastal communities. Conclusion: Addressing coastal waste pollution requires a comprehensive approach involving community education, the provision of adequate waste management facilities, and the enforcement of environmental regulations. Implementing these strategies is expected to improve public health outcomes and support the sustainability of coastal ecosystems in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Mangrove forests are unique plant formations commonly found in protected coastal areas in tropical and subtropical regions. The existence of mangrove forests is essential due to their ecological, economic, and social benefits. Mangroves play a significant role in carbon sequestration, preventing seawater intrusion, reducing erosion and coastal abrasion, acting as natural wave barriers, filtering water, and serving as nursery grounds for various marine species, particularly fish. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors driving mangrove land conversion in Indonesia's coastal areas and to examine its environmental and socio-economic impacts. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach. Relevant articles were sourced from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the keyword "mangrove land conversion in Indonesia." The selected studies were analyzed to identify the patterns and consequences of mangrove land conversion. Results: The findings indicate that mangrove land conversion in Indonesia’s coastal areas is driven by various factors, including the development of aquaculture (such as fish and shrimp ponds), the establishment of rice fields, settlements, office buildings, plantations, industrial areas, and other agricultural activities. The increasing demand for palm oil has also led to large-scale land clearing. Additionally, population growth in coastal areas contributes to the expansion of infrastructure such as roads and ports, which often involves the clearing of mangrove forests. Environmental degradation resulting from this conversion includes coastal abrasion and the overexploitation of mangroves for charcoal production, firewood, and construction materials. These activities lead to deforestation and the degradation of mangrove ecosystems. Conclusion: Mangrove land conversion in Indonesia is influenced by a combination of economic, social, and environmental factors. The low-income levels of coastal communities often push them towards activities that lead to land-use changes, while government policies may both limit and, in some cases, indirectly encourage deforestation. Furthermore, natural factors such as nutrient depletion, substrate alteration, salinity changes, and high wave exposure contribute to the inability of certain mangrove species to regenerate, exacerbating ecosystem degradation.

Abstract

Background: Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by the infestation of Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Although it is a global health concern, scabies remains particularly prevalent in areas with poor water sanitation, inadequate personal hygiene, and limited access to healthcare services. Coastal communities and high-density settlements are especially vulnerable due to environmental, economic, and social factors that exacerbate the spread of skin-related infectious diseases. Objective: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors associated with the incidence of scabies, particularly in coastal areas and densely populated communities, with a focus on preventive and control strategies applicable in the Kolaka region. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted by examining scientific articles related to scabies prevalence in coastal and high-density populations. The databases used for the literature search included PubMed and Google Scholar. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria focusing on scabies, sanitation, and public health interventions, with publication years ranging from 2015 to 2025. Results: The findings indicate that poor personal hygiene, inadequate sanitation, and overcrowded living conditions are key risk factors for scabies transmission. Community health education, improvements in water and sanitation facilities, and medical interventions such as mass drug administration using ivermectin or permethrin have proven to be effective control strategies. Conclusion: Integrated, community-based interventions that combine education, sanitation improvement, and medical treatment are essential for reducing the incidence of scabies in coastal and densely populated areas. Keywords: Scabies, Coastal Areas, Sanitation, Health Education, Control Strategies, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The first 1.000 days of life represent a critical window for a child's physical growth and cognitive development. Nutritional deficiencies or malnutrition during this period can result in stunted growth, impaired brain development, and reduced cognitive function, ultimately affecting a child's future potential. Adequate nutrition during early life is therefore essential to ensure optimal growth trajectories. One of the pivotal factors influencing toddler nutrition is the provision of appropriate complementary feeding, particularly for children aged 6–24 months. Among the various nutritional indicators, dietary diversity plays a fundamental role in achieving adequate nutrient intake and supporting healthy development. Objective: This study aims to assess dietary diversity during the complementary feeding period using the Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) indicator among children aged 6–24 months in Punggaloba Village, West Kendari District. Methods: This research employed a descriptive survey design involving 65 respondents, selected based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data on complementary feeding practices and food intake patterns were collected and analyzed using univariate analysis to determine the prevalence of MDD compliance. Results: The study revealed that out of the 65 children assessed, the majority (78.46%) were in the 9–24 months age group. The proportion of children meeting the Minimum Dietary Diversity indicator was low, with only 19 children (29.2%) achieving the recommended dietary variety. The most commonly consumed foods during the complementary feeding period were rice, fish, eggs, and formula milk. Conversely, the consumption of vegetables and fruits remained inadequate, indicating limited dietary diversity among the study population. Conclusion: The findings underscore the urgent need to promote balanced and diverse complementary feeding practices in coastal communities, particularly in Punggaloba Village. Interventions focusing on nutrition education for caregivers are recommended to ensure sufficient nutrient intake and prevent malnutrition during this critical developmental period.

Abstract

Background: Climate change, primarily driven by global warming, has substantial negative impacts on coastal areas, particularly affecting the livelihoods of fishing communities. Rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and sea-level rise have made fishing activities increasingly challenging. These environmental changes lead to reduced fish stocks, declining income from fishing, and broader socio-economic disruptions for coastal populations. Furthermore, the health of fishing communities is at risk due to the scarcity of clean water and decreased nutritional intake resulting from reduced fish catches. Objective: This study aims to systematically review the scientific literature on the impacts of climate change on fishing communities and coastal areas, with particular emphasis on the socio-economic and health consequences, as well as adaptation strategies. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Relevant scientific articles published between 2010 and 2024 were collected and analyzed. The inclusion criteria focused on studies addressing climate change, its impacts on coastal communities, and adaptation efforts by fishers. Results: The review findings indicate that climate change has far-reaching negative impacts on the livelihoods of coastal fishing communities. From a health perspective, climate change exacerbates the risk of disease transmission due to limited access to clean water and contributes to malnutrition resulting from reduced fish availability. Economically, decreased fish catches directly reduce fishermen's incomes, increasing their vulnerability. The findings also highlight the importance of adaptive capacity in maintaining the resilience of fishing communities, ensuring their economic activities and health status are not severely compromised. Conclusion: Climate change poses serious threats to the health, economic stability, and social well-being of fishing communities. Enhancing the adaptability of fishermen is crucial to mitigate these impacts. In addition, policymakers must develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral adaptation strategies that address the entire chain of vulnerability—from environmental changes to economic and health outcomes. Such policies should be implemented holistically, from upstream planning to downstream execution, to ensure they effectively support the resilience of affected coastal populations.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a gastrointestinal disease characterized by increased stool frequency (more than three times daily) with watery consistency, primarily affecting toddlers due to their immature immune systems. It remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five, especially in areas with inadequate sanitation and hygiene practices. Transmission often occurs through contaminated food or water and poor hygiene behaviors. Several factors contribute to diarrhea incidence, including environmental sanitation, maternal knowledge, socio-economic status, nutritional intake, and exclusive breastfeeding practices. Other risk factors include improper waste disposal, limited access to clean water, and suboptimal health behavior such as lack of handwashing. Objective: This study aims to identify and describe the factors associated with diarrhea incidence in toddlers through a literature review. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using journal articles published between 2021 and 2025. The articles were obtained through Google Scholar using Indonesian-language keywords related to diarrhea in children. Results: The findings indicate that environmental sanitation, maternal knowledge, socio-economic conditions, and child feeding practices are dominant factors associated with diarrhea. Access to clean water, use of family latrines, waste management, exclusive breastfeeding, and handwashing practices are key protective factors. Conclusion: The incidence of diarrhea in toddlers is influenced by a combination of environmental, behavioral, and socio-economic factors. Strengthening maternal education and improving sanitation facilities are essential strategies for diarrhea prevention in young children.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS remains a significant global health issue, including in Indonesia, which ranks fifth among countries with the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence after South Africa, India, Mozambique, and Nigeria. By 2023, it is estimated that approximately 1.7 million people in Indonesia are living with HIV/AIDS. Coastal communities, particularly fishermen and their families, are considered a vulnerable group due to limited access to health services and lack of health education. Therefore, targeted efforts are essential to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission in these communities, including Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) services and educational interventions to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. Objective: This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge and awareness regarding HIV/AIDS among coastal communities and adolescents through a literature review. Methods: A qualitative literature review was conducted by collecting and synthesizing findings from previous studies relevant to HIV/AIDS prevention in coastal communities. Results: The literature review highlights the importance of VCT services for early detection and risk assessment of HIV/AIDS in coastal populations. Empowering housewives as health cadres facilitates effective communication and education about HIV/AIDS due to their familiarity with local community dynamics. Outreach programs, including educational lectures and the distribution of informational leaflets, have proven effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of both adults and adolescents toward HIV/AIDS prevention. Conclusion: Community-based empowerment and cross-sector collaboration are critical to enhancing HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in coastal areas.

Abstract

Background: Oral and dental health remains a significant public health concern in developing countries, including Indonesia. One of the most prevalent issues is the high incidence of dental caries, particularly in coastal communities. Various factors contribute to this condition, such as educational level, health knowledge, lifestyle, dietary patterns, cultural practices, and geographical conditions. Coastal communities are often highlighted in health studies due to their role as primary contributors to national protein intake through fishing activities. However, their oral health status is frequently neglected, despite their unique environmental and social characteristics that may increase health risks. Objective: This study aims to identify the factors influencing oral health and the prevalence of dental caries in Indonesian coastal communities. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by collecting and analyzing relevant articles from databases such as Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The journal selection process followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, focusing on studies related to oral health and dental caries in coastal populations. Results: The review identified several contributing factors to poor oral health and high caries incidence, including age, fish protein consumption, access to healthcare services, poor clean water quality (habitual use of rainwater and well water), exposure to fish smoking fumes, smoking, alcohol consumption, parental education level, and infrequent tooth brushing. The most dominant factor was poor water quality. Conclusion: Comprehensive strategies are needed to address these multifactorial risks and improve oral health in coastal communities.

Abstract

Background: Flies (Musca domestica) are synanthropic insects capable of transmitting pathogenic agents such as protozoa, helminths, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. Acting as mechanical vectors, they contribute to the indirect transmission of various diseases. Their presence often indicates poor environmental hygiene and poses significant health risks to surrounding communities. Flies can carry approximately 100 species of bacteria pathogenic to humans and animals. Fly control aims to prevent disease spread by reducing fly density through improvements in sanitation and environmental management. The application of natural and synthetic insecticides remains a widely practiced and effective strategy. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various fly control methods in reducing the potential for disease transmission. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by collecting and analyzing articles from Google Scholar and ResearchGate, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. Articles published between 2020 and 2024 were reviewed using the keywords “flies,” “effectiveness,” and “control methods.” Results: The reviewed literature reported multiple effective approaches to reducing fly density, including the use of lime camphor mixtures, clove leaf extract, basil leaves, papaya leaves, chemical insecticides, mechanical trapping, and bait variation in fly traps. Conclusion: Flies play a critical role in transmitting diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and food poisoning. Effective fly control, supported by improved environmental sanitation, is essential to minimize the prevalence of flies and reduce the risk of disease transmission. Keywords: Indonesia, flies, effectiveness, control
