Coal Mining Sector Contribution To Environmental Conditions And Human Development Index In East Kalimantan Province, Kunny Izza Indah Afkarina, Sindhung Wardana, Poerborini Damayanti Dec 2019

Coal Mining Sector Contribution To Environmental Conditions And Human Development Index In East Kalimantan Province, Kunny Izza Indah Afkarina, Sindhung Wardana, Poerborini Damayanti

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Coal mining has been one of the issues that led to pros and cons in Indonesia. Research shows that mining activities are one of the factors that affect people’s incomes and local and national economic development. However, mining is a lucrative activity that leads to construction booms that attract population growth and lead to deforestation, thus affecting the environmental conditions of a region. The coal mining industry of Indonesian province of East Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo, provides most of the economic base needed to build the infrastructure and provide energy of the country. Kalimantan Province accounts for approximately …

Oil Spill Response Preparedness Model Through Community Participation In Teluk Penyu Beach, Cilacap Regency, Tri Edhi Budhi Soesilo, Chiquita Tri Rezki, Ihya Sulthonuddin Jul 2019

Oil Spill Response Preparedness Model Through Community Participation In Teluk Penyu Beach, Cilacap Regency, Tri Edhi Budhi Soesilo, Chiquita Tri Rezki, Ihya Sulthonuddin

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

In Indonesia, oil spill incidents often occur; thus, it has become a matter of national concern. Cilacap Regency is one of the regions in Indonesia that is prone to oil spills, with a history of frequent oil spill incidents during 2000–2018. Oil spill response preparedness needs the integrated effort between government and communities to minimize the environmental impacts of oil spills. A problem usually encountered is the lack of integration of community participation in the oil spill contingency plan because of the limited knowledge of the community regarding oil spill response preparedness. This study aimed to build an oil spill …

Modular Furniture Made From Corrugated Box Waste Using Design For Environment Guidelines, Natalia Hartono, Agustina Christiani, Candida Keshia Larasati Jul 2019

Modular Furniture Made From Corrugated Box Waste Using Design For Environment Guidelines, Natalia Hartono, Agustina Christiani, Candida Keshia Larasati

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Solid wastes at PT Pertamina in Jakarta were dominated by the corrugated box, so this research aims to utilize PT Pertamina’s corrugated box waste into furniture using Design for Environment (DfE) guidelines. Stages in this research use the design and development product theory of Ulrich & Eppinger, consisting of Phase 0 of Product Planning along with step 1 of the DfE guidelines. Phase 1 Concept Development is concurrent with stage 2 DfE guideline Identification of Potential Environmental Impacts and Selection of DfE guidelines. Phase 2 System-Level Design works in conjunction with the 3rd stage of the DfE Guide to Initial …

Preface, Table Of Contents, & Acknowledgments, Herdis Herdiansyah

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

The development of the world demands changes in the environment from time to time, and this condition can not be avoided, for that the academic world is required to always be ready and watchful for this condition. This challenge makes the Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development (JESSD) continue to be consistent with the focus of environmental studies until now. Starting with the inaugural edition in 2018, JESSD continues to be aware and focus on environmental studies and sustainable development in developing countries, especially for Southeast Asia countries. In this issue of Volume 2 Issue 1, we present eight …

Fractionation Of Iron (Fe) And Manganese (Mn) In The Horizons Of A Forest Soils, Agroforestry, And Dryland Agriculture, Parjono Parjono, Syaiful Anwar, Kukuh Murtilaksono, Lilik Indriyati Jul 2019

Fractionation Of Iron (Fe) And Manganese (Mn) In The Horizons Of A Forest Soils, Agroforestry, And Dryland Agriculture, Parjono Parjono, Syaiful Anwar, Kukuh Murtilaksono, Lilik Indriyati

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

One of the main problems with acidic soils is the availability of soil nutrients. In such soils, iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) ions are highly present. This study evaluated the Fe and Mn fractions in the soil profiles of forests used for agroforestry and dryland agriculture in the upper Ciliwung watershed. The watershed is a zone of high rainfall washing. The evaluation was based on the results of analysis of soil samples taken at four soil horizons (Ao or Ap, A1 or A2, B1, and B2) for each type of land use. Research was conducted by survey and laboratory analysis. …

A Quantitative Dynamic Model For Managing Litter Abundance In The Trash Trap Of An Urban Lake In Indonesia, Muhammad Muhsin, Herr Soeryantono Jul 2019

A Quantitative Dynamic Model For Managing Litter Abundance In The Trash Trap Of An Urban Lake In Indonesia, Muhammad Muhsin, Herr Soeryantono

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

In Indonesia, urban litter is threatening the role of urban lakes as a part of green infrastructures in cities. To overcome this issue, Kenanga Lake—an urban lake with a surface area of 2.8 ha located within the Universitas Indonesia Campus—has been equipped with a trash trap unit on its inlet. However, the large amount of litter and its unpredictable pattern have made trash trap management difficult. The previous study illustrated the conceptual diagram of this problem. As a continuation in terms of looking further for sustainable solutions to this problem, this study aimed to establish its quantitative dynamic model, which …

A Polycentric Waste Management System In The Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, Sanae Ito Jul 2019

A Polycentric Waste Management System In The Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, Sanae Ito

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

This study examined contemporary waste management systems in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Many waste management projects have been launched in Nepal since the 1980s. Recent projects have targeted citizens’ awareness. Governments and international donor agencies have reported that awareness of waste management has not yet been achieved. Previous studies have discussed the failures of waste management in Nepal, while others have pointed out the negative impacts of waste management projects on the local community. In this paper, an alternative framework for understanding the waste issue from an anthropological perspective is provided through a case study. Specific attention was paid to …

Spatiotemporal Analysis In Monitoring Landscape Dynamic Patterns In Tropical Peat Ecosystem (Study In Tebing Tinggi Island, Riau, Indonesia), Dheny Sampurno Jul 2019

Spatiotemporal Analysis In Monitoring Landscape Dynamic Patterns In Tropical Peat Ecosystem (Study In Tebing Tinggi Island, Riau, Indonesia), Dheny Sampurno

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

The increasing deforestation rate in the tropical peat landscape is impacting the sustainability of the peat ecosystem. Previous studies have monitored the deforestation on tropical forest using Landsat imagery. The analysis of forest landscape dynamics is crucial in understanding the functions of the sustainable ecosystem and to support sustainable development goals. The government controls the peat ecosystem function (PEF) based on the Indonesian Government Regulation No. 71/2014. However, a booming sago industry has resulted in smallholders establishing farms and expanding into the peatland. In this study, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of land use/cover changes based on a series of …
