Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Concentration at Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Kusin Kitso , Sulistiyanto Yustinus , Usup Aswin , Ardianor  
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Peatland forest fires cause high concentrations of gases and particles in the air, especially carbon monoxide (CO) and PM2.5 which are very dangerous for health. Continuous monitoring of gas and particulate concentrations must be carried out during dry and rainy seasons so that the impact of hazards can be immediately identified and actions can be taken to overcome them. Monitoring equipment was placed from south to north at fire-prone locations to see the effect of wind and vegetation on the CO and PM2,5 concentrations. The concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulate Matter (PM2.5) at Central Kalimantan in the dry season is higher than in the rainy season. In the dry season of 2019, CO concentration in four locations was between 7104.1 – 22,127.5 µg/m3, while in 2021, it was the rainy season, so the CO concentration in six locations was lower, ranging from 38.7 – 1371.5 µg/m3. In the dry season of 2019, PM2,5 concentration in four locations was 196.8 – 360.5 µg/m3, while in 2021, at six locations was 5.0 – 40.0 µg/m3. The high concentration of CO and PM2.5 in the dry season needs to be anticipated with a serious handling program to prevent forest and peat fires

Authors: Oktaviani Winda , Masjud Yunita Ismail 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
More than one billion pieces of denim are sold every year. The consumptions from North America are 39%, West Europe 20%, East Asia 20%, and the rest of it, including Indonesia, is 13%. This study aims to know the comparation between denim waste become particle boards toward SNI as a national standard through several variables. The variables are water content, thickness increment, density, acidity, and alkalinity resistance. Making the sample refers to the particle board-making process, such as preparation, mixing, gluing, pressing, and drying. On the other hand, this study’s method for the test is based on SNI 03-2105-2006 about Particle Board and SNI 01-7201-2006 Plywood and Beautiful Paper-faced Blockboard. The sample test divided by four ratios, 100%:100% (a), 75%:25% (b), 50%:50% (c), and 25%:75% (d). The result of this study showed that the water content test is the only variable influenced by the sample’s ratio. At the same time, sample A is the perfect sample with a ratio of 100% because sample A complied with the water content, thickness test, density test, and minor damage on acidity and alkalinity resistance test. It can conclude that denim waste has the potential to be improved as interior materials such as particle board.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAs a result of the greenhouse effect and climate change, renewable energy is gradually replacing traditional electricity sources today. Photovoltaic (PV) technology, in particular, is gaining popularity worldwide, but low efficiency is a challenge that must be overcome. This paper describes an experimental method for determining the effect of control temperature on the performance of PV modules equipped with an active water-spray cooler. The study chose two polycrystalline silicon PV modules with identical specifications, and the experimental evaluation results show that the capacity difference is less than 1%. Through experimental results, this study has shown that on sunny days the daily energy output of PV modules using an active water-spray cooler improves over reference PV modules by 3% to 5%. With increasing temperature control, the performance improvement becomes less. When the control temperature is lower, the working time of the pump motor during the day increases, increasing its power consumption and affecting the proposed system’s performance improvement. In addition, with the control temperature at 45°C, the performance improvement was highest in the experimental results. The findings of the study can be used to build future experimental models.
The Drivers of Food Loss at the Farm Level: A Study of Farmers in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Simamora Liska , Zebua Damara Dinda Nirmalasari , Handayani Widhi 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Food loss and waste (FLW) contribute to adverse economic and environmental impacts. In Indonesia, the agriculture sector is the primary source of income for 38,78 million people, and food loss is a significant issue. At the farm level, food loss falls into two categories: food that is never harvested and food that is lost between the point of harvest and sale. The term “food loss” is frequently used to refer to agricultural production that is lost unintentionally. This research aims to identify the drivers of food loss at the farm level in Indonesia using a case study of farmers in Salatiga City, Central Java Province of Indonesia. The farmers’ survey was distributed in Salatiga’s most significant urban village (Sidorejo Lor), with n=22 farmers. Using descriptive quantitative analysis, the study found that farmers are not well informed about the issue of food loss. The food loss drivers at the farm level include the presence of pests and disease, human error during manual harvesting, and gaps in appropriate harvesting technology, which results in substantial crop loss.
Isotherm Coefficient for Benzene and Toluene Adsorption on Granular Activated Carbon for Preparation of Biobarrier
Authors: Rineksa Galih , Bustomy Achmad , Park Don-Hee , Gozan Misri 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Biobarrier combines the adsorption and biodegradation processes which are carried out simultaneously. This method can increase the rate of contaminant reduction, reduce contaminant toxicity and extend the life of activated carbon. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of benzene and toluene adsorption on granular activated carbon (GAC). The ratio of adsorption in the expanded bed to the fixed bed determines the operating conditions in the benzene biodegradation process experiment. The results showed that the GAC was distributed in the micropore and mesopore regions with a pore diameter of 15 Å to 23 Å. The molecular diameters for benzene and toluene are 5.285 Å and 5.72 Å, respectively, which fit the pores. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon can be represented well using the Freundlich equation. Freundlich’s constants for benzene and toluene are Kf = 17.87 (1/n = 0.46) and Kf = 25.88 (1/n = 0.45).
Effect of Voltage Unbalances on the Performance of a Three-phase Transformer
Authors: Cuong Ngo Xuan , Tuan Le Anh , Do Nhu Y 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Mitigation and adaptation to climate change have been major driving forces in modernizing electric power infrastructure. Low power quality has a significant impact on electrical equipment efficiency. Voltage unbalances one of the issues with low power quality. This study used a simulation method for a power supply with a voltage unbalance to evaluate the effect of voltage unbalance on the performance of 3-phase transformers. The research results show that when voltage unbalance occurs, the working point with the maximum efficiency shifts and transformer efficiency is reduced in all load cases. When there is an increase in VUF, the efficiency of the transformer is reduced. With a small VUF, the drop is insignificant, but when the VUF is greater than 3%, the drop starts to increase. In the case of voltage unbalance, when the positive sequence voltage is greater than the phase voltage, both the no-load loss and the load loss increase significantly. Both these losses are reduced when the positive sequence voltage is less than the phase voltage. Due to phase shift, both these losses are almost unchanged. The research results are the starting point for general studies on voltage unbalance and power quality.
The Effect of The Combination of Zeolite and Activated Biochar-Based Sugarcane Bagasse on The Increase of CH4in Biogas with A Different Time Variation
Authors: Amalia Adinda Putri , Pertiwiningrum Ambar , Fitriyanto Nanung Agus 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the effect of variation in biogas purification time on methane (CH4) content, heating value, and combustion efficiency. The statistical analysis used was a one-way ANOVA analysis. The purification used activated bagasse biochar and zeolite. The variations of purification time were divided into three treatments, which are 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes. The contents of CH4in biogas with purification times, respectively, were 281201,45 ppm, 313563,05 ppm, and 339112,92 ppm. The biogas field heat value results with purification times were 242.79 kJ, 248.37 kJ, and 255.35 kJ. The biogas’ heat value with purification time was 515.60 kJ, 890.07 kJ, and 849.50 kJ. The results of combustion efficiency with purification times of 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes, respectively, were 47,95%, 28,20%, and 30,84%. Based on the results, it can be concluded that biogas purification using a combination of activated bagasse biochar and zeolite absorbent with different purification times has better values than biogas purification using an adsorbent not activated. It can increase the CH4content in biogas and biogas field heat value, but it reduces the heat value and biogas combustion efficiency due to incomplete combustion.

Abstract
This study investigates how banking performance in the Far East Asia region is impacted by environmental sustainability through sustainability reporting using ESG Index as a proxy. For the 2018–2021 period, 89 Far East Asia stock exchange-listed companies that routinely provide ESG scores are the sample for this study. The environment sustainability dimension in this study uses the ESG index as a proxy. The research analysis starts with descriptive statistical analysis to summarize the sample data. Then regression was performed using the Fixed Effect Model method for all research models to test the variables simultaneously. This study discovered a detrimental effect of ESG as a proxy of environmental sustainability on banking performance. However, they also discovered a beneficial relationship between one ESG dimension—corporate governance—on banking performance.
The Green Economy and Decentralization of Natural Resources Management (DNRM) Policy in Indonesia under the International Law Framework: Quo Vadis?
Authors: Parluhutan Dian , Arinanto Satya , Napitupulu Velentina 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Green Economy, as the multilateral paradigm for national developments, emerges to counter an obsolete mindset of development. A green economy fosters a responsible long-term developmental attitude, emphasizing environmentally sustainable economic progress to foster low carbon and socially inclusive development. There must be a catalyzation of investment and innovation that will underpin sustained growth and give rise to new economic opportunities. Indonesia is obliged to implement green economy principles and mandates. However, on the national level, there is no specific regulation concerning implementing a Green economy. Since 1999, Indonesia has been implementing decentralization (regional autonomy). The natural resources management policy has been under the authority of regional governments. However, the decentralization has resulted only in the central government’s willingness to redistribute responsibilities but not willing to share decision-making authorities with the regional governments. This phenomenon could jeopardize the green economy implementation. Hitherto, there are a few kinds of literature discussing the implementation of a green economy and the rule of international law in Indonesia. Accordingly, this paper attempts to analyze implementing a green economy and decentralizing natural resources management policy in Indonesia. The doctrinal and comparative law methods will be employed in this research.

Authors: Sabila Silmina , Utomo Suyud Warno , Agustina Haruki 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Dry bulk cargo involves in shipping accidents often overlooked as pollution threats. Some of them are classified as hazardous noxious substances (HNS), and the impacts are precarious due to their various type, properties, and behavior in the marine environment. Thus, it is pertinent to understand how current governance responds to this matter. First, environmental governance in legislation frameworks provided by global authorities is reviewed. Then, how do some regions and selected nations internalize this legislation with their legislation and institutional arrangements? Indeed, this includes comparative analysis to provide suggestions for addressing challenges faced by Indonesia. This paper aims to give an overview of environmental governance in global, regional, and selected nations in response to pollution threats from dry bulk cargo spills in accidents at sea. Fragmented coordination, lack of implementation capacity, and lack of regional coordination are identified. Indonesia should build a national contingency plan and enhance ASEAN coordination regarding this matter to ameliorate its environmental sustainability.
Resistant, responsive, resilient cities: Urban planning as a means for pandemic prevention
Authors: Rönkkö E , Juuti E , Hentilä H-L 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAlthough the environment has long been recognised as a key determinant of health, the linkages between urban living environments, immunological health and occurrence of infectious diseases are not well known. Healthy urban planning initiatives, especially in the Western world, have mostly been triggered by non-communicable diseases caused by lifestyle and dietary factors, such as diabetes. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, a significant body of research has been published that examines the impacts of pandemics on urban resilience, policy and planning practices. In this paper, we synthesise key lessons and preliminary insights for pandemic-proof cities in the light of recent academic discussion. Furthermore, we aim to address the urgent need for integrative approaches to urban resilience that consider human and environmental health holistically and contribute to comprehensive societal security.
Growth target as a barrier to knowledge integration and provision of alternative scenarios in urban planning
Authors: Merikoski T , Staffans A , Syrman S 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The complex task of urban planning requires multidisciplinary knowledge co-creation. Due to the urgency of climate change mitigation and the threats environmental changes pose to urban areas, effective knowledge integration is ever more important to understand the systemic effects of planning solutions. The findings of an interview study conducted in 2020-2021 suggest that many interrelated challenges and barriers hindering the co-creative knowledge production in planning practice exist. One barrier seems to be the time constraints the planners struggle with, which is connected to the strategic and political planning targets emphasising growth. In this paper, this concern is further explored: How have the planning targets of the City of Helsinki been formulated in three of the publicly available strategies and policy papers guiding urban development? Is the pressure to grow overriding the qualitative aims set for achieving the highly anticipated sustainability transformation? Conclusions indicate a need for an open discussion concerning the planning targets of cities: Is the target to produce detailed plans in high numbers, or to aim for the best quality in the urban living environment and to meet the ambitious sustainability goals?
iQRe: An Integrated Cross Scale Urban Resilience Assessment framework
Authors: Khoja Ahmed , Moro Andrea , Essig Natalie 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Developing successful urban resilience plans is a very challenging task due to the complex cross scale, multi sectoral dynamics of urban areas. This paper presents a novel integrated, multi sectoral, cross scale urban resilience assessment framework (iQRe) that facilitates bridging the spatial and sectoral gaps in the existing climate change adaption frameworks. The iQRe framework merges the IPCC AR5 risk assessment approach with the generic multi-criteria analysis methodology “SB Method” developed by iiSBE, creating a series of agile and quantitative climate impact chains that allow assigning a normalized numerical value to each of the 3 components needed to assess the climate risk (Hazard, vulnerability, and exposure). The Paper provide a sample application of the iQRe on a residential building.
Area Neutrality: safeguarding urban biodiversity with a new land management framework in Trondheim
Authors: McCormack AA , Lunde LM Foldnes , McDowell JL , Iqbal A , Ojee S , Nowokreschenow A 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Area neutrality is a municipal land use management system that prioritizes the protection of nature in urban development. This framework calls for first avoiding nature destruction, then reducing nature loss, and finally “replacing” natural lands that are developed for human use by restoring other areas. In effect, it extends the net-zero philosophy to the loss of nature. In this exploratory study, we consider the effects of implementing area neutrality in the municipal planning of Trondheim, Norway. The potential benefits of the framework are considered in terms of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Principles of urban ecology are applied to the framework so that positive ecological impacts are maximized. We conclude with a SWOT analysis of area neutrality in general and consideration of challenges for Trondheim Municipality specifically. This study provides an overview of a system which could be highly beneficial to both the urban and natural ecosystems of Trondheim and other areas if implemented responsibly.

Authors: Tzortzi J N , Doulamis A , Rallis I , Lux M S , Barbotti G , Tzortzis I 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The huge amount of the available data nowadays has raised some major challenges which are related to the storage, fusion, structure, streaming and processing of these data. In this paper, we present the development of a holistic framework, entitled HARMONIA, that encompasses State-of-The-Art solutions for the emerging issues related to Climate Change, natural and/or man-made hazards and urban/peri-urban risks. The Horizon 2020 HARMONIA project is developing an Integrated Resilience Assessment Platform (IRAP) which plans to provide targeted services for different groups of end-users. In particular, it will actively support urban decision-makers in strategic decisions and planning and citizens in facing daily effects and risks of Climate Change. Additionally, the platform will be a place to interconnect cities which end up facing similar Climate Change effects. HARMONIA IRAP leverages cuttingedge technologies (i.e., explainable Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, multi-criteria analysis, dynamic programming) and services (ie., Virtual Machines, Containers) in order to provide solutions considering the complexity and diversity of extreme earth and non-earth data. In addition, this platform includes a Decision Support System providing early-warning feedback and recommendations to the end-users. In this way the HARMONIA IRAP design tends to address these challenges by offering the corresponding dynamic, scalable and robust mechanisms with the aim to provide useful integrated tools for the related users. Datacubes architecture, which is a major part of the IRAP, offers the opportunity to investigate more sophisticated correlations among the data and provide a more tangible representation of the extracted information.
Towards solutions and infrastructure for circular neighbourhoods in rural areas
Authors: Wuyts Wendy , Majidi Abdul Naser 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Recently, there has been an increase in circular cities and research on the concrete meaning of circularity at the city mesolevel. However, circular solutions or requirements for rural areas are often overlooked. This can be explained by the dominant deterritorialized and sectoral approach in circularity research, policy, and practice, which isolates places, people, and practices. The point of departure of our study is that circular cities can only thrive if their related rural areas are healthy, as they are interdependent. Within this context, we develop a framework that contributes to the conceptualisation of circular neighbourhoods and infrastructure in rural areas. We use a literature review to build on the findings of circularity research in Japan, Belgium, Finland, and Norway, and distil predefined categories for deductive analysis. We validate the deductive analysis by a further inductive analysis of the literature. Our review focuses on how the existing built environment (buildings, roads, and other infrastructure) can increase the vitality of rural areas to enable rural circularity practices (RCPs). In addition, we propose new directions for future research on circular neighbourhoods in rural areas, preferably in symbiosis with circular cities.
