Abstract

This paper analyzes the suboptimal role of the Working Group of Cibodas Biosphere Reserve Management Coordination and Communication, also known in Bahasa as Kelompok Kerja Koordinasi dan Komunikasi Pengelolaan Cagar Biosfer Cibodas (POKJA KKP CBC) in supporting sustainable development in Cianjur Regency. Problem identification was conducted using the CGI (Controversy, Gap, Inconsistency) approach, revealing issues such as a non-transparent working group formation mechanism, disharmonious stakeholder relationships, and an unclear division of roles. The USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) analysis revealed nine problems stemming from the three identified issues, with the highest priority being the lack of transparency in the working group formation (score 25). The root causes include insufficient socialization, the absence of clear documentation, and the formation process being merely an administrative formality. Consequently, this led to a dysfunctional organization, weak institutional capacity, and obstacles to achieving sustainable development goals. The most appropriate policy recommendation to address the lack of transparency in the working group formation mechanism is the formulation and establishment of formation guidelines, formalized through an official Regional Head Regulation or Regent Regulation. The existence of these guidelines is expected to optimize the roles, functions, and performance of the POKJA KKP CBC. Binding regulations will ensure that this policy serves not only as a moral commitment but also possesses legal force to guarantee transparency, compliance, and consistency of implementation across all working groups formed within Cianjur Regency.

Abstract

Slow Food is increasingly recognized as essential for human health and quality of life because it promotes the consumption of fresh, natural, organic, and locally produced foods that are free from synthetic inputs and richer in nutritional value. Beyond health benefits, the Slow Food movement also contributes to environmental conservation by reducing carbon emissions, supporting sustainable agriculture, and preserving local food systems. This study employed a qualitative integrative review methodology to examine how Slow Food knowledge and traditional culinary practices can be integrated into educational curricula. The research framework consisted of three main phases: systematic literature selection, thematic analysis, and synthesis of findings. This study is distinctive in its integrative approach, which connects Slow Food principles, traditional food practices, and curriculum development. The findings highlight the role of both formal and informal education as transformative platforms for promoting sustainable agricultural systems, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering social and environmental responsibility. Education supports the production of slow, clean, and organic food by increasing awareness and encouraging sustainable food growing practices. Through education, students gain knowledge and practical skills to cultivate vegetables and develop school or community gardens. Educational institutions act as key agents in knowledge development, advocacy, research, and the promotion of sustainable Slow Food practices. They contribute through curriculum integration, schoolyard gardening initiatives, community engagement, and policy advocacy. Higher education institutions, particularly universities, can embed Slow Food education into multidisciplinary curricula, equipping students to address contemporary food system challenges, promote global citizenship, and participate in slow, clean, and fair food.

Abstract

Small urban lakes are increasingly threatened by domestic and industrial wastewater inputs that exceed their natural assimilation capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the water quality status and develop a dynamic pollution control model for Situ Tlajung Hilir, Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Water quality was assessed using the STORET method based on Government Regulation No. 22/2021 standards, while pollution dynamics were simulated using a system dynamics model consisting of population growth, domestic load, industrial load, and assimilation capacity submodels. Historical monitoring data (2019–2023) were used for calibration and behavioral validation through trend comparison. The lake was classified as heavily polluted, with BOD, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphate exceeding permissible limits and surpassing assimilation capacity. Simulation of management scenarios (2020–2035) showed that business-as-usual conditions lead to continuous degradation, whereas integrated domestic and industrial wastewater treatment can reduce pollutant loads by 60–80% and gradually approach ecological balance. The proposed integrated STORET–system dynamics framework provides a practical decision-support tool for sustainable lake restoration and urban water resource management.
Evidence synthesis for environmental decision making: why “summary” is not the same as “synthesis” Kathryn A. Monk

Abstract

Environmental science has never been more productive. Every month we see new studies on forests, fisheries, pollution, climate hazards, restoration, protected areas, and community-based management. In Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, where environmental decisions often must be made quickly amid rapid development pressure and climate risk, the idea of “evidence-informed decision making” is widely supported. But what kind of evidence are we actually using to inform these decisions? Many evidence sources look similar. They cite research. They summarise findings. They offer recommendations. Sometimes they carry authoritative branding or are published in high-impact journals. But they do not all do the same job. If we treat them as interchangeable, we risk using evidence in ways that create overconfidence, selective learning, and weak foundations for policy and practice.
