Increasing amounts of household waste due to population growth may lead to problems if it is not accompanied by an efficient waste management system. Along with efficiency, waste management should include waste reduction which can be implemented through Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R concept). 3R can be conducted in a facility called TPS3R. Bandung, one of the big cities in Indonesia has implemented 3R in TPS3R. There are a growing number of TPS3Rs being built, but most of them lack management capacity. Out of seven TPS3Rs in Bandung City, TPS3R Saling Asih has the lowest capacity to treat the waste which is only 28.89% of the total waste production in the serviced area. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the Level of Service (LoS) TPS3R Saling Asih using indicators scored based on some criteria. The score is weighted according to the importance and the urgency. The indicators are grouped into five aspects i.e., related regulation products, technical-technological, management institutional, financial operational, and participation. The evaluation results gained a relative value of 14.25 indicating less function. The recommendations for the results were preparation for performance improvement focusing on the indicators with low values.

The discovery of illegal dumping activities in Bangkalan sub-district shows that there is inequality in services provided by the waste collection system. This needs to be reviewed through calculations from an analysis of the effectiveness of the waste collection system in order to assess the performance of waste collection at temporary waste shelter sites in Bangkalan District and improve environmental livability. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the waste collection system in Bangkalan Regency through the performance of each temporary waste shelter. The analysis used is the effectiveness of the waste collection system by dividing the output value by the input. The results of the effectiveness analysis will be compared with the Jakstranas document, which states that a temporary waste shelter can be said to be effective if it has an effectiveness value of 100%. Based on calculations, three temporary waste shelter were found in Bangkalan District whose value was below 100%, namely Pangeranan 3R Waste Management which has a percentage value of 15%, recycling house which has a percentage value of 26%, and Martajasah 3R Waste Management, which has a percentage value of 54%. This can be caused by an uneven waste collection system, limited waste infrastructure, limited waste officers, and a lack of public awareness. Apart from that, the existence of illegal dumpings around the temporary waste shelter area is also evidence that the temporary waste shelter is not running effectively.

Agriculture is an important component of the Indonesian economy and makes a significant contribution to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, the poverty rate among farmers is still high, which shows the need for a more in-depth study of farmer welfare. This study focuses on Kediri Regency and Probolinggo Regency in East Java, areas known for their agricultural contributions. The aim is to assess the welfare of farmers in Kediri Regency and Probolinggo Regency. This research uses a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis used is the Farmer Exchange Rate (FER), which is determined by comparing the Price Index Received by Farmers (It) and the Price Index Paid by Farmers (Ib). The results show significant differences between the two districts, Kediri experienced an increase in FER of 0.48%, while Probolinggo experienced a decrease in FER of 2.87%. This finding is important because it reflects differences in the welfare and economic conditions of farmers in Kediri and Probolinggo. Factors such as government support, adoption of modern technology, and seasonal changes were identified as influencing these outcomes. Strategic recommendations include increasing productivity through technology and starting programs targeting young farmers. This effort aims to improve agricultural effectiveness and the overall welfare of farmers in the region.

This study introduces the "FIPIA with information entropy" method as an evolution of previous models (IPA, IPIA, FIPA) to evaluate the quality of tourism services at Telaga Madiredo. The aim is to identify priority areas for improvement, providing actionable recommendations for optimal resource allocation to enhance customer service and satisfaction. The integration of fuzzy rules and expert assessments reduces subjectivity in evaluation. Despite its rich potential as a nature-based tourism destination, Madiredo Agrotourism faces challenges due to insufficient prioritization and evaluation of services, leading to a gap between tourist expectations and actual service quality. The primary goal is to develop a comprehensive plan for improving tourism services aligned with on-ground realities and critical priorities. This is achieved through three parameters: comparing importance and performance of service attributes, assessing their impact on business objectives, and evaluating their importance for tourist satisfaction. The study involved field testing by distributing a questionnaire with 18 items to Madiredo Lake tourists and analyzing responses using Importance-Performance-Impact Analysis (IPIA), fuzzy logic, and information entropy. The findings revealed five key dimensions of service quality: reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. The FIPIA method with information entropy proved effective for prioritizing service improvements and is adaptable for evaluating service quality across various industries where attributes significantly influence outcomes.

Sanankerto Tourism Village was recognized as one of the best tourism villages at the 2021 Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia award. However, the Covid-19 pandemic led to significant challenges, causing many tourism products and activities to falter. There is now a discourse on revitalizing Sanankerto Tourism Village, highlighting the need to assess the community's willingness to engage in decision-making processes regarding the village's development. Community involvement is crucial to ensure that grassroots ideas, which are vital for development, are incorporated. Engaging the community in the development process is expected to make Sanankerto Tourism Village more advanced, innovative, and creative, while also fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among the residents. The level of community participation was evaluated using descriptive analysis, scoring, and weighting methods to determine its value. The analysis revealed a score of 1,213.10, placing the community in the Delegated Power category on Arnstein's Ladder of Participation. At this level, the government grants authority to the community for making planning decisions, giving them control over some or all of the programs to be implemented.

Selorejo Dam Tourist Park is a natural and artificial tourist attraction in Malang Regency. The existence of this tourism has a direct influence on the economy of the surrounding community. Based on Malang Regent Regulation Number 11 of 2022 concerning the 2023 Regional Government Work Plan, Selorejo Dam Tourism Park is one of the leading tourist attractions in Malang Regency that can be developed. This tourism has great potential to be developed, but the number of tourists is decreasing yearly. This can occur due to problems with aspects of tourism service. Tourism service is a minimum requirement for the development of a tourist destination. The tourism service aspect consists of 6A: Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Ancillary Services, Activities, and Available Packages. This research aims to identify problems with the service aspects of the Selorejo Dam Tourist Park. The analytical method used is triangulation analysis, which consists of observation, questionnaires (Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA)), and interviews. Triangulation analysis aims to reduce bias as much as possible at the data collection and analysis stage. Meanwhile, IPA determines tourists' interests and satisfaction with aspects of tourism services. The research results show that the problems with tourism service aspects resulting from each data collection differ. The issues of each data collection are compared and then concluded. In conclusion, 20 Selorejo Dam Tourist Park service elements have problems. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for the managers of Selorejo Dam Tourist Park to develop the aspects of tourism services.

Driyorejo Sub-district in Gresik Regency hosts hundreds of medium and large-scale industries, making it a rapidly expanding industrial corridor that influences local economic development. However, industrial locations vary across all villages, with major investment and labor pockets primarily concentrated near primary collector roads. Such rapid growth has sparked concerns about spatial planning and environmental impacts, prompting an analysis of the industrial distribution patterns. This research aims to identify how these medium and large industries are spatially distributed, given their significant economic, environmental, and spatial influences. A cluster/K-nearest neighbor approach was used to characterize their distribution as random, clustered, or uniform, based on type, number, and specific locations. Results show 3 villages with clustered patterns, 9 villages with random (uneven) distribution, and 4 villages with uniform (even) distribution. These patterns affect physical infrastructure and community socio-economic activities, with uniform patterns indicating broader dispersal and higher local impact. Research limitations include focusing solely on medium and large industries and analyzing only the spatial distribution rather than broader supply-chain or policy dimensions. These findings highlight the need for more balanced industrial planning to manage the interplay between industrial expansion and community well-being.
