THE SHIFTING SANDS OF WASTE: A DECADAL ANALYSIS OF ILLEGAL DUMPING TRENDS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES IN INDONESIA

2025-06-19T20:04:08+08:00

Illegal dumping represents a critical environmental and public health challenge in Indonesia, exacerbated by rapid urbanization, inadequate waste management infrastructure, and socio-cultural attitudes toward waste disposal. This study employs a descriptive literature review methodology to analyze illegal dumping trends over the past decade, synthesizing data from peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and case studies. Findings reveal the proliferation of unauthorized dumpsites, particularly in urban areas, alongside the increasing prevalence of plastic waste as a dominant component. Socio-economic factors such as poverty, limited access to formal waste management systems, and insufficient public awareness are identified as key drivers of this issue. Illegal dumping causes significant environmental degradation, including water contamination and ecosystem disruption, and poses substantial health risks through exposure to hazardous materials and vector-borne diseases. This research underscores the necessity for integrated interventions, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to effectively tackle illegal dumping. Specifically, this entails strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing enforcement mechanisms, promoting community engagement, leveraging technological innovations, and making substantial investments in the strategic development of waste management infrastructure.

POTENSI DAN TANTANGAN PENGOMPOSAN KOMUNITAS DI RUMAH SUSUN SEWA MAKASSAR

2025-06-18T21:01:29+08:00

This study investigates the implementation of community-based composting technology in low-cost rental apartments (Rusunawa) in Makassar City, Indonesia, as a solution for organic waste management and to enhance environmental awareness. Rusunawa, characterized by its vertical structure and tenant-based system, often faces waste management challenges due to limited space and varying levels of environmental awareness among residents. The study aims to apply composting technology through a community development strategy to address organic waste issues using accessible and affordable methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative analysis of compost quality with qualitative assessment of community responses across several stages of outreach: general counseling, floor-by-floor engagement, communal garden cultivation, neighbor-to-neighbor outreach, and media promotion. The results show that household waste from Rusunawa residents can be converted into compost with phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels exceeding the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), although nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) levels require improvement. Following the outreach process, more than 50% of residents demonstrated increased environmental awareness and actively participated in composting activities, with media-based and neighbor-to-neighbor outreach proving the most effective. To improve compost quality, extended composting time and nutrient supplementation are recommended. The study advocates for the establishment of community-based organizations to ensure the long-term sustainability and effective management of composting initiatives in Rusunawa.

STUDI PENGELOLAAN AIR BERSIH DAN SANITASI DI WILAYAH PESISIR KECAMATAN BONTOA, KABUPATEN MAROS

2025-06-21T13:57:42+08:00

The purpose of this study was to determine the existing condition of Clean Water infrastructure facilities in the Coastal Area of Tupabbiring and Bontobahri, Bontoa District, Maros Regency. The research method used is Problem Identification and Potential Analysis (IMAP). The findings in the form of clean water facilities and infrastructure in Tupabbiring and Bontobahari Village are classified as less than good because there is no PDAM water source, so that almost all people collect rainwater and use the water for bathing, washing and even drinking water sources. This can pose a serious health risk because bacterial contamination from rainwater and rusty roofs can cause various diseases. This condition shows the need to increase awareness of good health and sanitation. As well as the urgency of providing safe and sustainable access to clean water for the people of Tupabbiring and Bontobahari village

UJI COBA PRODUK PUPUK DAN PESTISIDA CAIR “RAYAZ” PADA TANAMAN HORTIKULTURA BERBASIS MODEL POLYBAG

2025-06-27T20:19:05+08:00

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui respon perlakuan berbagai dosis pupuk dan pestisida cair RayaZ dengan berbagai formula dan dosis terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman brokoli (Brassica oleracea L.). Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental yaitu dengan melakukan percobaan di lapangan yang bertempat di Dusun Puncak, Desa Gunung Perak, Kecamatan Sinjai Barat, Kabupaten Sinjai. Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis dengan Analysis of Variance pada taraf nyata 5% untuk mengetahui pengaruh masing-masing perlakuan dan apabila terdapat beda nyata maka diuji lanjut menggunakan uji Beda Nyata Jujur (BNJ) pada taraf 5%. Data hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berbagai dosis pupuk pestisida cair RayaZ memberi respon positif terhadap pertumbuhan brokoli (Brassica oleracea L.). Namun masih membutuhkan peneltian lebih lanjut secara intensif untuk menentukan dosis yang tepat.

Integrated Urban Farming System (IUFS): POTENSI DAN PELUANG MAKASSAR MENUJU KOTA EKOLOGIS

2025-06-30T12:30:16+08:00

Kota Makassar, dengan laju urbanisasi tinggi dan keterbatasan lahan,

memerlukan solusi yang menggabungkan pertanian tanaman dan akuakultur

dalam satu siklus tertutup. Integrated Urban Farming System (IUFS)

memanfaatkan bekas air wuduh dari masjid dan lahan komunitas berupa

vertikal farming dan kolam akuaponik, Estimasi target uji coba diharapkan

dapat menghasilkan hingga 1 kuintal sayur dan 50 kg ikan lele per siklus sambil

menghemat air sekitar 15 %. Selanjutnya respon dan partisipasi jamaah dan

warga membuka peluang edukasi lingkungan dan pemberdayaan komunitas.

Sedangkan penerapan kebijakan insentif serta pedoman ISO 14001:2015 akan

menjamin tata kelola lingkungan terintegrasi. Dengan kemitraan akademik–

komunitas dan model pembiayaan mikro, IUFS dapat memperkuat ketahanan

pangan lokal dan mengukuhkan citra Makassar sebagai kota ekologis.

TANTANGAN DAN SOLUSI PENGELOLAAN LIMBAH BAHAN BERBAHAYA DAN BERACUN (B3) RUMAH TANGGA (STUDI KASUS DI PERKOTAAN) : TINJAUAN LITERATUR

2025-07-02T19:03:01+08:00

Pengelolaan limbah B3 rumah tangga yang baik sangat diperlukan. Kajian sistem pengelolaan mendalam di perkotaan untuk menyusun strategi pengelolaan yang baik. Analisis data menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif melalui kajian Pustaka. Pengelolaan limbah B3 rumah tangga belum optimal, karena masih tercampur dengan limbah non-B3 lainnya disebabkan kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang jenis bahaya dan tata cara penangannnya. Sehingga perlu peningkatan sosialisasi dan edukasi kepada masyarakat dalam pengurangan limbah di sumber, serta penyediaan sarana dan prasarana guna mengurangi pencemaran
