Pengelolaan dan mitigasi dampak limbah masker di Kecamatan Rungkut, Surabaya

2025-12-27T22:34:25+07:00

The utilization of masks will exert an influence on the amount of waste generated. The daily utilization of masks by Indonesians amounts to 159,214,791, contributing to a daily waste generation of 420.03 tons. The generation of mask waste necessitates effective management to ensure optimal balance. In the absence of proper management, mask waste has the potential to exert deleterious effects on the environment. The objective of this study is to ascertain the quantity, dissemination, and selection of the most efficacious management method for mask waste. The study involved the administration of questionnaires, employing a stratified random sampling method to assess the knowledge, management, and distribution of mask waste. The objective of this assessment was to formulate a suitable mask waste management method. The present study demonstrates a correlation between the variables of age, occupation, and education level on knowledge management and the distribution of mask waste. The p-value results for all variables were obtained and are less than 0.05. The methods formulated to manage mask waste generation are the democratization of information on mask waste management, and the implementation of special bins and color-coded bags or bins.

Penerapan teknik low impact development (LID) untuk optimalisasi sistem drainase (studi kasus: Kecamatan Cianjur)

2025-12-27T22:34:25+07:00

Cianjur District often experiences flooding caused by high rainfall, limited water infiltration in catchment areas, and imbalance between development rate and inadequate drainage system capacity. To address this challenge, this study proposes the application of Low Impact Development (LID) as a solution to reduce flood risk. Hydrological analysis was carried out using rainfall and runoff data to calculate the volume of water flow in existing conditions and LID application scenarios. The simulation used Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) software version 5.2 with 3 scenarios; 1) scenario without LID which produces a runoff discharge of 8,748.26 m³/s; 2) scenario using rain barrel produces 7,318.28 m³/s; and 3) scenario combination of rain barrel and retention ponds which reduce the value to be 118, 28 m³/s. The third scenario is the most effective option as a drainage management strategy in Cianjur District.

Assessing wastewater treatment performance in small island contexts: a multi-aspect evaluation of Tidung Besar Island, Indonesia

2025-12-27T23:58:38+07:00

Small islands face unique sustainability challenges in domestic wastewater management (DWM) due to limited resources, confined space, and high ecological vulnerability, yet comprehensive multi-dimensional assessments remain scarce. This study addresses this gap through a multi-aspect assessment of the DWM system on Tidung Besar Island, Indonesia, integrating technical, institutional, environmental, and social dimensions in a densely populated tourism-based small island. An exploratory-descriptive approach was employed, combining field observations, stakeholder interviews, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis from March 2024 to August 2025. Data were analyzed through triangulation methods, descriptive statistics, and qualitative synthesis. The study reveals a critical paradox that despite strong community acceptance and established infrastructure comprising four wastewater treatment plants serving 831 house connections, the system faces severe environmental challenge. Ammonia and total coliform exceed quality standards by up to 163 and 137 times. Technical challenges include overcapacity in high-demand zones, equipment failures, and incomplete service coverage, while institutional monitoring remains weak. Socially, most residents lack wastewater knowledge yet report high satisfaction based on visible improvements. This reveals that community acceptance alone cannot serve as a reliable indicator of system success. The study also demonstrates that small island wastewater management requires integrated solutions addressing interconnected challenge across all dimensions simultaneously.
