Solid Waste Management in the Construction Sector: A Prerequisite for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Prema E. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The Indian construction industry contributes nearly 5% - 6% to the Nation’s GDP and is one of the largest in the world economy. The building and construction sector is one of the essential industries contributing highly towards environmental impacts. Balancing development at all stages with environmental protection is the prime aim of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The construction sector paves the way for greater economic development in a country and thus has an obligation to protect the environment against degradation. A few of the notable SDG’s relating to the construction and building sectors concerning the environment and climate change issues are SDG 11-Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG7- Affordable and Clean Energy. Solid waste management is very crucial as the solid waste from construction sites highly degrade the environment. Using of green resources of constructing buildings may reduce the energy efficiency and after construction can reduce the carbon emission. But the construction materials which are not disposed properly have become a moot question on the effectiveness of the existing regulations and the legislations. The solid wastes which are disposed in unregulated dumps or when openly burned may lead to serious health issues, effect the safety and results in environmental degradation. This solid waste, when disposed of, emits gases like methane, carbon and contributes to global climate change. India has an obligation to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, by balancing development and environmental protection. This paper will analyse the existing legislation relating to solid waste management, its effectiveness in regulating the construction sector and how far they comply with the international standard or requirement in protecting the environment. This research is conducted by analysing existing judgments, legislations, national reports as primary data. United Nations and its specialised agencies reports are utilised as secondary data.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Bangalore is a city in the Indian state of Karnataka. Many public sector businesses and R&D organisations, such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Indian Space Research Organisation, Airbus, Boeing, General Electric (GE), Nokia, Toyota, and others, are housed here. Bangalore is known as India’s ‘Silicon Valley’, as it is home to many information technology (IT) enterprises. It is classified as a ‘non-attainment city’, meaning that pollution levels do not match the Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) criteria. A high-level computer language called PYTHON was used to draw the trends of the air quality data collected over a 15-year period (2004-2019). PYTHON was used to clean, group, sort and aggregate the collected data to obtain the exceedance factor and draw the trend graphs. The policies of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) were examined to better understand the pattern. Over the years, the CPCB and the KSPCB have established a number of policies and guidelines, and the success or failure of these policies was examined in order to gain a better knowledge of the control measures. This report lays the groundwork for future policy implementation in other cities.

Authors: Vaishnav Sarthak , Paul Jerry , Deivanathan R 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
A vehicle suspension system is designed to maintain directional control (road holding) during manoeuvring or braking while supporting the vehicle’s weight and provide stability (handling). The structure of a suspension system consists of parts connecting the axle to wheel assembly and the chassis of an automobile, thus supporting engine, transmission system and vehicle load. Suspension system components consist of dampening devices, springs, steering knuckles, ball joints and spindles or axles. It could be designed according to a passive, semi-active or active mode of working. For evaluation, this assembly could be modelled as a spring-mass-damper system. The semi-active suspension system has been modelled with a magneto-rheological damper following the Bingham plastic theory. In this paper, the performance of a passive and a semi-active suspension of a quarter car model are compared by MATLAB simulation. Thus, a better suspension system is found out by simulating with different road conditions.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
A home is one of the basic humans needs. In Covid 19 era, the conventional concept of a home has been challenged by the new face of requirement for covid 19 protocol. A home is not only functioned as a private individual domestic activity but it has also been used as a response of its new tasks as an office (WFH concept) or as a healing facility (self quarantine system). Another challenge for development nowadays is the limitation of natural resources. Thus, it is essensial that every development need to considered sustainable approach. This paper will explore on how sustainable approach implemented in walk-up flats and how the design adapts to global pandemic. Qualitative methods will be used with observation and interview as the main data collection. The finding of this study reveals that most of sustainable criteria has not yet implemented in Keudah walk-up flat. Accordingly, sets of design concepts for walk-up flats in Banda Aceh are proposed. Finally, the proposed concept can be used in the future, in order to adjust the need to prevent covid 19 as well as other pandemic in the future.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Current urban food systems are categorized as unsustainable, for the well-being of urban consumers and the environment. Furthermore, health risks are higher in urban areas compared to rural areas. This is caused by soaring prices and difficulty of accessing nutritious food. Most of the raw produce sold in markets, lost half of their nutrients due to logistics from out of town, which results in high carbon footprint. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a shift within consumer behaviour that impacts health and waste. This phenomenon encouraged the authors to analyze effective food systems, in the design of building-integrated agriculture. The overall study questions criteria for sustainable processing, agriculture design strategies, and implementation of agriculture systems in urban space design. Research methods used are theoretical reviews, precedent study of Sunqiao Urban Agriculture District located in Shanghai, China and survey analysis conducted through online questionnaire. The results cover a set of conceptual strategies which include site design, mass compositions, spatial programming, lighting and ventilation, spatial forms, façade, and energy patterns which are then applied to create a building-integrated agriculture that plays a role in pandemic mitigation, community resilience, and promotes sustainable development within the food sector.

Abstract
The Royal Belum State Park (RBSP) is gazette as a reserve area in Malaysia is covered by 90% of forest and inhabited by mostly the Jahai tribes. One of the hardships of these indigenous Jahai is to retrieve drinkable water from clean water resource. Due to the constraint of development in the rural area of forest reserve RBSP, a sustainable water supply system project needs to ease the tribe. Hence, this study investigates the potential for a water supply system towards environmental sustainability as a starting point for an environmentally sustainable water supply project at RBSP. The investigation is conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the existing literature with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The statement review method from Scopus and Web of Science databases have recognized 12 out of 84 related research articles searched worldwide on a topic related to the rural sustainable water supply. Findings from the 12 sustainable water supply research articles reveal two main considerations in determining the water supply which are the local context and water sources availability. Hence, a site visit to RBSP is recommended to further investigate the potential water supply system towards environmental sustainability at the research location.

Abstract
Waste management has consistently been challenged around the globe for decades, yet sophisticated technology has not managed the pile of trash, particularly in developing countries. One of the most often produced waste is the traditional market. The study aims to identify how the conventional market disposes of its regular waste and investigate the space quality as a crowded place during the pandemic of Covid-19. The research method is observing and analysing a case study located in Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Pasar Al-Mahirah is one of the traditional markets which distributing its complete regular waste directly to landfills. The result indicates that waste management is not sustainable because it lacks sorting and processing before. In terms of C-19 spreading, the space inside the building is vulnerable even though it has excellent natural ventilation and sunlight. This study performed a visual design solution for distributing waste inside the building, sustainable management based on 3R principle methods, and composting through aerobic methods for organic waste. Moreover, the stalls arrangement and the circulation for users are purposed in a layout plan to prevent a higher risk of the rising of Coronavirus transmissions.

Abstract
The major problem with economic capital in rural communities around the world is income. There are many challenges for rural communities to developing their socioeconomic sustainability with their limited recourse. The rural community in Malaysia is also facing problems as a result of the disparity in development between urban and rural regions, particularly in terms of public amenities, infrastructure, utilities, and economic opportunities. In addition, rural communities are also often marginalized due to global issues of insecurity as well as the various challenges they often face in improving the economy of rural areas. Rural communities also often face socioeconomic problems, such as marginalized households and having different socioeconomic backgrounds. The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors incorporating economic capital in assessing rural community resilience in term of socioeconomic background. Next this paper also discusses the method that will be implement in this study but the data collection not being conducted yet. This paper also provides a framework incorporating the factors of economic capital and variables of socioeconomic background. This framework will measure the relationship between economic capital and the socioeconomic background of the rural community. Using this framework, we will understand the relationship between economic capital and the socioeconomic background of rural communities.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Ujung Pancu is on the North coast of Aceh, known as one of three defense areas (Lhee Sagoe) during the Aceh Darussalam Kingdom, in 18-19 centuries guarding against enemy attacks from the sea, and the role of Hamzah Fansury in the 16-17 centuries. This area has destroyed when the tsunami disaster, causing some traces of the old city to be relatively lost but still can be traced. This paper aims to reconstruct and discuss the concept of Ujung Pancu spatial structure, especially Lam PageuVillage in the 18th century. It also will examine the approximate architecture of the Hamzah Fansury cultural site. This paper is considered essential as a historical study to bring back the experience of cultural sites as national personality assets under the UNESCO concept and has the opportunity to be a religious cultural tourism destination around Banda Aceh City, as well as being a location for religious relaxation in the face of the Covid 19 outbreak. This study uses exploration by exploring the potential of the natural environment and reconstructing the regional spatial organization system and spatial patterns. The results show that a) The area organizing system is very considerate of the coastal-bay-hills ecological aspect, with the orientation of the area towards the sea in the North-East, with the hills as natural fortresses in the West-Southern part, the three main spots are important areas with the system integrated location of each other; b) 3 important spots, namely: 1). the location of the cleric Hamzah Fansury’s hermitage on the hills, it is estimated that it also functions as a “reconnaissance” place; 2) Footprints of the harbor fort on the beach are inundated, 3) Coastal residential areas that are still ongoing today. The conclusion of the study, the regional spatial management system shows a spatial hierarchy based on security zones, the closer to the mountain the more private, and the closer to the beach the more common (profane). There is a synergy between the need to maintain regional space and natural character.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Banda Aceh City has had an expansion and development plan towards a sustainable city with green city concept since 2012. Based on the green city concept, Banda Aceh City is planned to be an environmentally friendly city by utilizing water and energy resources effectively and efficiently, reducing waste, implementing an integrated transportation system, ensuring environmental health, synergizing the natural and artificial environment, based on urban planning and design in favor of the principles of sustainable development. But in reality there are still some problems such as the absence of adequate public transportation, the unbalanced length of the road with the growth in the number of vehicles so that the traffic flow is not smooth and causes traffic jams, pollution and air pollution. For this reason, this research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the implementation of a sustainable transportation system in Banda Aceh City so that achievements can be known by comparing the initial plan and implementation realization. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a gap analysis technique to compare the ideal conditions of a sustainable transportation system with the actual conditions in Banda Aceh City. The results show that the level of application has only reached 43.75% where all the models applied have not been implemented optimally.

Abstract
Composting is an effective method to treat food waste. If food waste can be reduced from households, the transportation process to landfills can be reduced, cheaper costs, and the amount of waste in landfills. In this study, an innovative composting device-thermal composter was developed to accelerate the composting of food waste at home. This study uses food waste in a mixture of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) and rice from a household in Semarang, Indonesia. Food waste was chopped, stirred, heated, and decomposed in a thermal composter. The composting was carried out for three days with moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, volatile solids, C-Organic, N-Total, P-Total, K-Total, plant growth test (Vigna radiata). The results showed that the growth of Vigna radiata using compost on the third day was better than on the first day. Final compost quality has water content = 75.16%, pH = 7.09, electrical conductivity = 552 Scm−1, volatile solid = 76.45 %, C-Organic = 7.05%, N-Total= 0.433 %, P-Total= 0.147 mg P2O5/100 g, K-Total= 0.149 mg K2O/100 g. It indicates that food waste can be recycled into useful products on a household scale within three days.
