Synergizing Food Security With Forest Conservation: Preliminary Insights From Social Forestry Implementation In Riau, Indonesia
Authors: Januar Rizky , Affandi Dean , Tanaya Smita
Published: December 2022

Amidst food security challenges faced by Indonesia, policies to address them may come at the expense of forest ecosystems. Social Forestry (SF) program provides a potential solution to synergize forest conservation and food security objectives in Indonesia by allowing local communities to manage and protect the local forests. However, there is limited evidence on how the synergy is realized within the SF implementation on the ground. The study aims to fill this knowledge gap by investigating community-based practices, efforts, and challenges in line with the pathways connecting forest conservation and food security in three SF sites in Riau, Indonesia. Relevant data are collected through stakeholder interviews, field observation, and spatial analysis; and further triangulated through literature review. While SF ecosystems at the study sites provide food and income sources and help build climate resilience for the local and indigenous communities, challenges remain in improving the value added and market access of local forest products; incentivizing forest-based food subsistence potential in line with the site-specific practices; and, in some areas, reducing the rate of forest loss. The policy implications and recommendations for improvement are provided.

Authors: Klemens Brygida
Published: December 2022

Participatory budgets are an increasingly common form of co-decision of residents about the quality of life and development directions of urban space. In Poland, participatory budgets have been realized for a decade, and projects submitted to these budgets respond to needs such as e.g. leisure infrastructure, environmental conditions, recreation, health, and education. The study aims to analyze the phenomenon of civic participation and the use of participatory budgets as a tool of co-governance in the context of environmental issues and urban development. A desk research analysis of national and foreign literature data was performed, and the existing statistical data on participatory budgets in Poland were analyzed. In addition, the websites of selected cities in Poland were analyzed in the context of implemented projects and citizen’s activity within the framework of participatory budgets. The results indicate that the initial enthusiasm of the citizen’s implementation has decreased, but the COVID-19 pandemic has aroused renewed interest in the topic. The study’s implication is recommendations, e.g.: creating a civic budget database featuring uniform categories or creating Green Civic Budgets in every city.

Published: December 2022

This study reports the simulation of rice husk pyrolysis units in various sizes of chimneys to investigate the effect of chimney diameter on temperature and heat distribution. The modeling design was carried out using Solidworks 2020 software with 3d modeling, and flow simulation features where the diameters of the chimneys were varied, namely 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches. Simulation of the pyrolysis process with an input temperature of 450 °C and an average fluid velocity of 2.344 m/s for chimney diameters of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches has resulted in a condenser heat-temperature (TH) of 169.84 °C, 170.04 °C, 171.36 °C, 170.31 °C, and 168.05°C. It produces cold-temperature (TC) of 41.97 °C, 42.88 °C, 42.31 °C, 42.38 °C, and 45.35°C, respectively. The simulation results also show that the larger the chimney size of the pyrolysis tank, the greater the need for heat from the stove fire; conversely, the tank capacity of the husk becomes smaller.

Published: December 2022

Population growth and increasing demand for land for urban development have led to the conversion of agricultural land. Land conversion harms the reduction of agricultural areas and indirectly affects food availability, so efforts are needed to preserve it. The study aims to obtain the availability of paddy fields and the conservation strategies. Evaluation of land use change and availability was analyzed by high-resolution SPOT 6/7 satellite imagery data, slope maps, soil type maps, sub-district administrative boundaries maps, raw rice field maps, spatial pattern planning maps, climate data, and criteria for land suitability for food crops. The strategy of conservation of paddy fields based on the wisdom ofSubak(Balinese cultural base irrigation system for paddy fields) was analyzed by SWOT. The analysis showed that the converted land areas were 78.5 Ha. The available paddy fields that needed to be conserved were 895.02 Ha, consisting of a moderate suitability class of 556.74 Ha and a very suitable suitability level of 338.28 Ha. The strategy for conservation of paddy fields based onSubakwisdom must be implemented through 1) Developing tourist attractions based onSubakagricultural activities and rituals, 2) Developing a network of cooperation with the government and business people, 3) Implementing strictSubakrules(awig-awig), 4) EncouragingSubakto be more business-oriented through plant diversification that has market prospects.

Authors: Do NY , Le TA , Ngo XC
Published: December 2022

Energy efficiency and sustainability are important goals for countries all over the world. With the advancement of material technology, many new generations of high-efficiency motors are being researched and developed to replace induction motors (IM) to save energy. Line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSM) are high-performance and ultra-high-performance motors that are emerging as an alternative to squirrel-rotor induction motors. Constructing the permanent magnets in the rotor is critically important in ensuring LSPMSM performance. The study uses the finite element method to analyze the characteristics of the motor. The study presented the influence of the permanent magnet structure in the rotor of the LSPMSM with a power of 22 kW and a speed of 3000 rpm on the electromagnetic field distribution in the motor, as well as the motor’s working characteristics to optimize the permanent magnet structure to optimize the performance of the LSPMSM. The analysis results show that the proposed LSPMSM has a 92.6% higher efficiency than the same-type induction motor. This is a suitable replacement for high-power and high-speed IM, which contributes to energy efficiency, so using fewer fossil fuels to reduce environmental impact is a sustainable development solution.

Published: December 2022

Water treatment of river water is generally carried out conventionally, a rapid sand filter consisting of a coagulation unit, flocculation, sedimentation, and sand filtration. One of the disadvantages of sand filters is that it requires a large volume of water for washing, inconsistent quality, and escape of microorganisms less than 0.01 mm in size. Membrane technology can solve this problem with the advantages of including a more compact unit with a larger surface area per volume. The immersed membrane has another advantage that it is possible to integrate with sedimentation units so that it can save the land. This paper will study a comparison of the performance of the microfiltration membrane with sand filters in two drinking water treatment plants. The comparison method is based on technical specification, capacity, and quality performance. The results show that the quality of the microfiltration membrane filtrate is better than the sand filter. Overall immersed membrane microfiltration with pore size 0.05 µm had removal efficiency of E. Coli was 100%, turbidity 93 %, TSS 100%. Organic permanganate value 37%, and Microplastics 81.5%, whereas pore size 0.07 µm removal E. Coli was 99.8%, turbidity 52.9 %, Organic permanganate value 17.6%, and Microplastics 37.1%. The productivity of microfiltration membranes is more significant than rapid sand filters. The removal efficiency of WWTP Ngagel was better than Siwalan Panji.

Authors: Waluyo Dhita Septiani Yogo Sri , Marselina Mariana
Published: December 2022

Even though the management operation guidelines have been determined, the optimal management of the Citarum Cascade Reservoir has not yet been achieved. Optimal management of cascade reservoirs in an integrated manner is difficult to be carried out due to complex operating procedures and high uncertainty of hydrological components. So, research on the optimal management of each reservoir considering the discharge forecasting model as input discharge (Qin) was proposed. The objective of this study was to optimize Cirata Reservoir’s operational management. Hence all raw water demands are met without any water wasted through the spillway, as indicated by the correlation between inflow discharge (historical and model) and the correlation between trajectory (guideline and actual). In this case, discharge forecasting methods used were Discrete Markov and ARIMA. The continuous with five years return period (R5 continuous), continuous with ten years return period (R10 continuous), 3-classes Discrete Markov, and 5-classes Discrete Markov methods were applied for guideline trajectories. Based on the results, the correlation coefficients between inflow discharge were 0.63 (3-Classes Discrete Markov); 0.78 (5-Classes Discrete Markov); and 0.68 (ARIMA (1,0,0)(1,0,1) & ARIMA (0,0,2)(1,0,1)). Optimization simulations were carried out for 16 scenarios with combinations of four discharge models and four guideline trajectories during the 2016-2020 period. Based on the research, the scenario by the 5-Classes Discrete Markov discharge model and the R10 continuous guideline trajectory is the most optimal management of the Cirata Reservoir, with a correlation coefficient between the trajectory was 0.91.

Published: December 2022

With the ambition to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda in 2030, many countries are increasing the implementation of green financing through green bonds. The question is, how appealing are green bonds for investors? This question is relevant as green bonds have been applied in some countries to help them to achieve sustainable development goals as part of sustainable finance. This paper compares the green bond yield, and conventional bonds yield to see if there is a significant difference between them. This becomes important as the environmental aspect is not the only consideration for investors in choosing green bonds. However, they also pay attention to the return value. The analysis was carried out on the performance of green bonds against conventional bonds in Indonesia from 2018 to 2021 and compared green bonds’ yields with conventional bond yields with an independent sample t-test. The results show that Indonesian green bonds have an increased performance every year and green bond yields have no significant difference from conventional bond yields, where green bonds have slightly higher yields.

Published: December 2022

From 2016-2018 there were 120 fuel station accidents in Indonesia. Fuel station accidents may harm not only workers but also the public. Major accidents in fuel stations have caused multiple fatalities and injuries. Various research regarding fuel stations has been done, but research on the role of the community in preventing fuel station accidents is limited. Therefore, studying the cause and effect of fuel station accidents is essential. The study aims to collect accident information and determine the impact, cause, and possible prevention programs for fuel station accidents. Study methods use data collection and classification, followed by qualitative analysis. Data were collected from the top 10 national news portals and tabulated in a structured manner. Twenty-nine fuel station accidents were identified and evaluated. These data were then categorized and analyzed to obtain the dominant effects of accidents. Accident causes were also investigated to provide an understanding and propose accident prevention programs adopted from previous research in various fields. It is concluded that fuel station accidents in Indonesia are dominated by vehicle fires, which involve consumer vehicles. The causes of accidents vary, but most of them were concerning the technical condition of vehicles, and a few were unsafe operations. To prevent future accidents, it is essential to ensure compliance with regulations and standards of facilities and equipment. Furthermore, community involvement is also crucial. Therefore, more efforts are needed to increase public awareness of fuel station hazards and how the community can be involved in preventing future accidents.

During the Nyepi celebration, within twenty-four hours, the island of Bali is wholly rested from various activities and business. This study analyzes how the implementation of the Nyepi Holy Day celebration has a broad impact on efforts to save the environment, which is a world issue. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and literature studies examining Balinese environmental data. Through thematic analysis and interpretation, the Nyepi celebration significantly impacts efforts to protect nature and the environment in Bali. It is closely related to four Nyepi prohibitions, known as Catur Brata Penyepian:Amati Geni, Amati Lelanguan, Amati Lelungan, andAmati Karya. With these four prohibitions, the island of Bali seems to be a dead island for 24 hours, without noise and electricity even at night. All transportation activities, including airports and seaports, have stopped operating. The data shows that there has been saving in electricity use, a reduction in carbon dioxide gas emissions, fuel saving, and an increase in air quality due to the cessation of all human transportation activities. The Nyepi celebration in Bali and carried out by Hindus in Indonesia has had a tremendous impact on the earth.
Challenges and Chances of Sustainable Construction in Indonesia: Policy Insights
Authors: Hapsari MA , Putri WH , Sarju
Published: December 2022

The construction industry in Indonesia is the fourth-largest contributor to the country’s GDP; however, the industry accounts for one-third of total CO2 emissions. As 71% of Indonesians are expected to live in urban by 2030, building sector emissions are also expected to grow at a 4.5% annual rate. The adoption of sustainable construction is required to balance the needs of the community while minimizing the impact on the environment. In 2017, Indonesia integrated its national development planning with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Moreover, infrastructure and policies to support the sustainable construction ecosystem began to be implemented. The research aims to assess whether the policies for sustainable construction have been sufficiently all-encompassing and holistic to be implemented appropriately. The analysis was conducted with the descriptive-analysis method. This study concluded that relevant ministries already supported the policies but struggles with execution arose due to underskilled human resources, ineffective stakeholder collaboration, and regional inequality and disparities. The Indonesian government should take advantage of the post-pandemic momentum and potential for high investment values to carry out extensive socialization and fortify the foundation of policies.

Since then, the public spaces around the world have been trying to adapt to this new environment. Tokyo, one of the most populated metropolises in the world, known for its small apartments and lively streets, has previously made use of the street as a public space, for instance, some commercial Streets in Tokyo are enjoyed as an entire sidewalk by sharing the same space with different means of transportation, providing a walkable environment as a sustainable solution for accessibility in the actual city life. This study will clarify some of the necessities of the new streetscape environment, it will contribute to learning from the ephemeral and close relationship of the use of the street as public spaces in the COVID-19 pandemic and before, enlightening safe but lively pedestrian activities as sustainable and dynamic strategies for a constantly changing lifestyle, helping our cities to be resilient in unpredictable situations for the street life of today and the future emergencies.
Role Of Natural Environment As Stimulating Outdoor Play Space For Children – A Study Of Bhopal, India
Authors: Raje R , Ojha S
Published: December 2022

Play is the origin of all learnings in children, it lets you explore, discover, take risks, fall, succeed, become spontaneous, creative and test many other capabilities. Furthermore, as playful activities are fun and purposeless, they significantly contribute to their physical, social, cognitive & emotional development. To be able to play freely is the right of every child. But in the present scenario of rapid urbanization, increased traffic, pollution, crammed spaces and other hazards have diminished their access to natural outdoor environs. This has led to ignorance of quality and dedicated play spaces. As a result, they are forced to play in poorly designed grounds often hammered with repetitive equipment which leads to a rigid and monotonous play pattern. It has been found that the children have affinity towards natural elements & it nurtures their overall growth. As nature unfolds its complex and unexpected experiences of rain, waterfall, wind, birds, mud splashing and leaves falling, it sparks curiosity while it provides an arena to play. Every child responds in multiple ways to these interactions with nature, and hence creates a plethora of opportunities to enjoy and learn innocently. This paper aims to study these natural relationships & the prospects it creates for a ‘quality’ play that can accommodate a child’s needs & behaviour. The methodology for this research includes qualitative analysis (behaviour mapping, photo projection) and quantitative survey (social questionnaire). This study shall become the basis for the landscape architects to design play spaces integrated with natural environment.
Designing the regenerative city? A case study of urban actors working to integrate ideas of biodiversity in Copenhagen
Authors: Lund Lotte N
Published: December 2022

The decline of biodiversity is progressing at an alarming scale and pace. A strengthening of relations between humans and nature may hold the key to a sustainable future, having the potential to increase human awareness of planetary well-being. Recently, urban actors across the world have seemingly accelerated the integration of Regenerative Thinking into strategies targeting biodiversity. Approaching a well-established urban planning and design practice with a new ideology, urban actors must tackle how to integrate this new arena of Regenerative Thinking in their work. This case study analyzes how urban actors such as architects and planners translate ideas of biodiversity into urban development in Copenhagen. The study identifies drivers and barriers related to the integration of biodiversity in Copenhagen and discuss potentials and challenges in this relation, including asking whether a new methodology such as a dialogue tool might have the potential to support urban actors working with biodiversity. The study concludes that urban actors are experiencing a range of drivers and challenges related to their work with biodiversity, and new methodologies seems to be needed. The study is an initial explorative component of a larger case study planned to be key content of a Ph.D. thesis.

Authors: Mattsson Johanna , Lindbergh Lars , Nordström Carin
Published: December 2022

Moving toward social and ecological sustainable business models requires collaborations in housing development. However, collaborations today between public and private housing developers are often the subject of criticism in terms of their sustainability efforts. One way of moving forward for these collaborations is to consider resilience as a desired property for sustainable business models. Thus, guided by a resilience perspective, semi-structured interviews have been conducted and secondary data has been collected to depict the barriers and enablers for public-private collaborations to move toward resilience and truly sustainable business models. The results reveal that barriers are development costs, knowledge, stepwise processes, and different perspectives, meanwhile enablers are knowledge transfer, trust, clear roles and agendas, win-win, instruments/incentives, and sustainability leadership. To overcome the barriers and leverage the enablers identified, resilience attributes such as knowledge transfer, social capital, space for disturbance, diverse forms of governance, and knowledge about sustainability need to be understood and applied to achieve sustainable business models in public-private collaborations.

Authors: Shahrabani Mustafa Muthanna Najm , Apanavičienė Rasa
Published: December 2022

Smart and resilient cities are on the same path to long-term sustainability and need the creation of an ecosystem that can withstand an increasing number of hazards in the future. One of the primary goals of the smart city movement was to address many issues that have arisen as a result of growing urbanization, including the scarcity of energy, traffic congestion, and pollution. The way urban dwellers live, work, and travel due to more often natural disasters and political issues is changing, and this has an impact on the economy and business models, forming a new trend in urban studies. Smart cities play a critical role in the worldwide fight against Covid-19 in terms of tracking and tracing instances of coronavirus using smart technologies. The integration of smart buildings into a smart city also plays an important role in this scenario, providing advanced infrastructure and greater comfort for their residents as well as improved safety control, increased energy efficiency, accessibility to services, and overall satisfaction with a higher quality of life. The findings of this study are based on the review of papers selected from high-impact research journals, as well as an analysis of the most important industry tendencies and widely referenced literature on smart cities and resilient cities. As a result, this study examines the concepts of smart and resilient cities, as well as the relationship between smart city technologies, and resilient city indicators; the impact of technologies applicable in different smart city domains on city resilience is discussed. Finally, the conclusions on how proposed integration toward smart and resilient cities could be implemented for future cities’ development are presented.

Authors: Huovila Pekka , Iyer-Raniga Usha
Published: December 2022

This paper presents results from an empirical study about the interplay between circular built environment (CBE) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. A global survey was deployed by the One Planet Sustainable Buildings and Construction Programme (SBC). This survey focused on how CBE is reflected in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the key indicators arising. The results of this survey, based on 185 responses is shared in this paper. From amongst the range of global responses, 56 were received from Europe and 96 from the Global South comprising Asia, Africa and Latin America. In addition to the survey, SBC has also collected 42 CBE cases studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America exploring their relationship with the SDGs. The importance of key SDGs: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 are compared between Europe and Global South and also between Asia and Africa. Five global core CBE indicators and nine secondary CBE indicators are selected based on the survey and their priorities compared between Europe and the Global South as well as between Asia, Africa and Latin America. The results verify the importance of the SDGs in supporting circular outcomes for the built environment.
Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment - Parameters for scenario development in prospective environmental modelling of building stocks
Authors: Slavkovic K , Stephan A , Mulders G
Published: December 2022

The global climate crisis calls for the urgent decrease of life cycle environmental impacts of building stocks. However, due to the long life spans of buildings, the complexity of prospective environmental modelling increases, compounded by uncertainty. While dynamic life cycle assessment (DLCA) is able to incorporate temporal variations of parameters (e.g. energy mix) or processes (e.g. technological improvement), their modelling methods have not yet been systematically analysed. This review paper aims to identify the typical dynamic parameters applied in building stock modelling, and advance the understanding of methods for predicting the associated temporal evolutions. We searched for publications on Science Direct database and collected 102 papers. A representative sample of 12 papers was then selected and analysed in detail. The results include 8 typical dynamic parameters and 5 methods for predicting the evolutions. We discuss the limitations of each parameter and formulate some recommendations. Presented research may help produce standardised evolution scenarios which, in turn, will help quantify the environmental impacts of building stocks in a more consistent manner, and inform design decisions that yield improved life cycle performance.
Value network mapping applied to the flat glass sector: constraints and leverage points for circularity.
Authors: Geboes E , Galle W , De Temmerman N
Published: December 2022

Architectural flat glass is a fully recyclable material but continues to follow a linear, wasteful path from renovation and demolition sites into landfills or low-value recycling. To make the shift towards circularity, understanding the whole flat glass network is essential. Therefore, the present paper identifies constraints and leverage points for circularity from a systemic perspective. Departing from literature and in-person discussions with network actors, value network mapping is applied to conventional practices, a transition tool to define essential missing roles, relations, and transactions. First, the roles and general relations are mapped, and step-by-step the value transactions and flows are detailed. An alternative circular value network map was then developed in which systemic changes are suggested to improve reuse, repair, and recycling applications. Leverage points are identified, such as learning from best-practices, sharing knowledge between actors, creating awareness, and creating incentives for the actors. From these findings, specific interventions in the conventional value network of flat glass can be conceived and planned as a sustainable transitions experiment (e.g., in the context of a living lab project initiated by governmental or private forerunners), or as an enduring redefinition of some roles and relations in the construction sector with a systemic result.

Published: December 2022

As a result of the global pandemic of Covid-19, there was a need to adjust to the sanitary tragedy that occurred during this time, which stimulated the construction of emergency support units to support the existing health system. In the study presented in this paper, the authors evaluate the potential environmental impacts of modular typologies through quantification and analysis of carbon emissions of a typical hospitalar module throughout its life cycle. A systematic Life Cycle Assessment analysis was carried out to quantify GHG emissions related to the construction of a module of the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Brazil and understand the benefits of reuse and recycling processes by comparing a single-use scenario to a cradle-to-cradle approach. Another objective is to compare Polyisocyanurate (PIR), Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Rock wool when used as insulation, given that their thermal performance is similar but their density influences the impact rates. Overall, EPS panels present a better environmental performance while maintaining thermal comfort standards found in comparison to rock wool and PIR boards. Lastly, concrete for the slab was responsible for the highest emission rates of kg CO2eq/module year, followed by the rigid PIR foam and steel in the production and sanitary landfill disposal stages.
Circular material passports for buildings – Providing a robust methodology for promoting circular buildings
Authors: Göswein V , Carvalho S , Cerqueira C , Lorena A
Published: December 2022

The construction sector is responsible for about 50% of all extracted raw material and for over 35% of the EU’s total waste generation. To transition to a circular construction model, reliable and standardized information on the material composition of buildings is required. A Circular Material Passport (CMP) can organize and store such information. It provides an identity for a certain product and assigns value to it, enabling the recovery of materials by providing information for maintenance, recovery, reuse and recycling. A set of various CMPs can also be turned into a Building Materials Passport. This paper proposes a new structure for a CMP. The new CMP distinguishes itself from previous efforts to define material passports since it is aligned with the EU Level(s) framework of core sustainability indicators for office and residential buildings. This paper, firstly, reviews the relevant indicators from the Level(s) framework. Secondly, analyzes the current barriers in the development and use of material passports and proposes mitigation measure. Thirdly, identifies parameters to provide relevant information to promote circularity in the built environment. Fourthly, summarizes the findings and proposes a new structure for a lean CMP. The proposed CMP structure can be divided into three sections: 1) general data, 2) product context use and location, and 3) circularity potential. It can be concluded that indicators provided by the CMP could have the potential to be used for public procurement, as well as to define building permit criteria and assessment. Moreover, CMPs should be integrated with Building Information Modelling (BIM) and as a support tool for pre-demolition audits for identifying reusable and recyclable construction products and materials. The importance of policy development for the promotion of a standardized and regulated use of this tool needs to be highlighted.
