This study investigates the influence of culture on the utilization of natural resources with particular attention to the fisheries industry. The fisheries sector is significantly affected by externalities resulting from unsustainable fishing practices. In order to overcome this, the fishing environment needs to be preserved and protected. This study explores the role of Indonesian local wisdom in achieving sustainable fisheries. The role of local wisdom, encompassing cultural capabilities, technological and knowledge systems, religion, traditions, social capital including ethics, environmental wisdom, norms, and legal institutions, is crucial in resource utilization, this mainly explains that farmers’ lifestyles cannot be completely replaced. Local wisdom has both direct and indirect economic effects and it has contributed to the conservation of the environment and the prevention of environmental degradation. This cultural practice is used to balance exploitation and capture with potential for processing, making it a vital factor for local communities striving for fisheries sustainability. The aim of this study is to assess sustainability in the presence of local wisdom and to develop scenarios for the achievement of sustainability. "We employed Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) with the RAPFISH application and Participatory Prospective Analysis (PPA) to assess the sustainability status and identify the main attributes that have a dominant contribution to the economic, technological, social, ethical and governance dimensions. This research has identified and measured the sustainability status of the fisheries sector, which has not been done in previous studies. The sustainability score resulting from this analysis is 49.67, indicating poor sustainability performance, highlighting the importance of local knowledge and mitigation of ecosystem damage. Empowering customary rules and local wisdom, alongside mitigating ecosystem damage, is crucial; therefore, a deeper analysis is required to formulate effective fisheries mitigation strategies. This research shows that West Pasaman Regency in West Sumatra Province is a highly suitable location for the development of a Minapolitan area. Its distinctiveness arises from the local wisdom, which satisfies the criteria for being designated as a Minapolitan zone according to the guidelines set out in Regulation No. 12 of 2010, as articulated by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Minapolitan incorporates region-specific fisheries development principles that combine economic and social elements to provide a practical, long-term solution to achieving sustainable fisheries.

The purpose of the article is to propose a new methodological approach to optimizing ecological taxation by determining its role in environmental protection. The object of study is the environment and ecological taxation. The scientific question is to establish how to optimize ecological taxation in such a way as to ensure a high level of environmental safety. For this purpose, simulation modeling and correlation and regression analysis were carried out. Based on the results, it was determined that it was the scenario of increasing revenues from emissions into the atmosphere, from discharges into water bodies, and from the ecological taxation that is levied for the generation of radioactive waste that is the best in terms of optimization. It was proposed to increase revenues from emissions into the atmosphere, from discharges into water bodies, and the ecological taxation levied for the generation of radioactive waste: a review and increase in tax rates on pollutant emissions. The study is limited by taking into account the specifics of only one country during optimization and therefore the variables are selected only after this.

The forest fire phenomenon is severe and requires appropriate handling. This analysis aims to understand legal developments, strict liability, and compensation in the context of civil environmental law enforcement. This research employs a normative juridical legal approach. Data were obtained from the texts of court decisions, including the Pangkalan Bun District Court Decision, Palangkaraya High Court Decision, Supreme Court Cassation Decision, and Supreme Court Judicial Review Decision. Data are analyzed through selecting relevant decisions, analyzing legal texts, and comparing these decisions. The research results illustrate the progression of the PT. Kumai Sentosa case through a series of judicial decisions. The Pangkalan Bun District Court’s decision initially determined strict liability for PT. Kumai Sentosa. However, the Palangkaraya High Court decision annulled the decision because PT. Kumai Sentosa was not responsible for the land fire. The Supreme Court Cassation Decision confirmed this decision. However, in the Judicial Review Decision of the Supreme Court, this case was re-examined and again determined the absolute responsibility of PT. Kumai Sentosa. This Judicial Review Decision confirms that PT. Kumai Sentosa is responsible for the land fire and must pay material compensation. Affirming strict liability in the Supreme Court’s Judicial Review Decision has significant implications for enforcing civil environmental law in Indonesia. This case shows the importance of accountability in cases of environmental damage and compensation as an incentive for companies to be more careful in protecting the environment.

The Provincial Government of Bali is committed to applying the Tri Hita Karana concept in every spatial development of Bali province, including residential, hospitality, and agriculture. The Balinese believe that the Tri Hita Karana concept guides them. They will form an urban spatial structure that is far from damaged and sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize national and regional regulations to implement the Tri Hita Karana concept into the urban spatial development process in the province of Bali. This article will assess whether the concept of Tri Hita Karana has been accommodated in the spatial planning of Bali province. As well as the challenges in applying the concept of Tri Hita in this modern era. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analysis and normative juridical method. The collected legal materials were analyzed using a qualitative method by describing legal principles, views of legal experts, and normative provisions regarding spatial planning of cities/regions in realizing the spatial planning of Bali with the Tri Hita Karana perspective. This study concludes that the concept of Tri Hita Karana has been accommodated in the spatial planning of Bali province. The evolving manifestation of Tri Hita Karana within the Hindu residential communities of Denpasar, hospitality, and agriculture encompasses the aspects of palemahan, pawongan, and parahyangan. Initially, in the reals of palemahan, there was a transformation from agricultural to non-agricultural land use. This shift primarily serves the purpose of establishing residential zones, constructing housing developments by real estate developers, and facilitating commercial activities.

Waste oil represents a major challenge to soil quality and environmental sustainability. This study was conducted to determine the environmental impact of refinery effluent on the soil within the refinery site and surrounding area. Six different test sites were selected to measure soil pollutant concentrations according to their distance from the untreated effluent discharge lagoon. The study period lasted six months, as the testing work began in April and ended in September 2023. Standard methods were used to determine the physical, chemical, and biological pollutants of the soil, and soil pollution indices (PLI, CF, and I_geo) were adopted in determining soil quality. The results showed a clear effect of untreated wastewater on soil properties. The soil of the testing sites near the refinery appeared to be highly contaminated with organic pollutants (O&G, TOC, and phenol) and gradually decreased towards the city. The concentrations of heavy metals in the soil were less than the permissible limit of WHO at the various testing sites, with the exception of the concentrations of Cd and Pb. The Cd concentration was approximately 200% higher than the permissible limit, while the Pb concentration was close to the permissible limit or slightly more. Generally, the measured concentrations of these metals followed the order: Ni_geo) indicated that the soil was highly polluted with cadmium, while it did not indicate contamination with other heavy metals. The study recommends that in order to reduce pollution from refinery effluent, the responsible administration must implement waste drainage networks, establish a treatment plant for the untreated effluent, and also use modern technologies to reduce gaseous emissions and their deposits on the soil.

The use of pesticides in the agricultural sector has become a major concern today, especially with the increasing worries about environmental, health, and sustainability impacts. A similar situation is also a focus in Indonesia, known as an agrarian country. Therefore, the objective of this research is to comprehend farmers’ intentions in using pesticides through the planned behavior theory perspective. The method employed in this study is quantitative, utilizing a questionnaire as the research instrument. The questionnaire was developed from 25 research indicators using a seven-point Likert scale. This research adopts the "rule of thumb" formula to determine the sample size, recommending that the sample size should be more significant than 10 times the number of manifest variables. Consequently, the resulting sample size is 250 respondents. The data analysis technique in this research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the SmartPLS software. The findings of this study highlight a strong relationship between knowledge, attitude, and perceived behavioral control with the intention of pesticide use. In this context, knowledge plays a central role in shaping a positive attitude, while perceived behavioral control is also significant. Although subjective norms do not significantly influence individual intentions to use pesticides, subjective norms remain an essential element in understanding individual behavior because they essentially reflect social pressure and norms accepted by individuals from their environment.

Water governance becomes essential to meet societal needs despite water scarcity. However, in Indonesia, disparities in water governance, especially in the area of water quality perception, continue to exist. Therefore, this study investigates how water quality perception is influenced by examining key factors such as satisfaction, trust, and socio-economic status. This study was conducted in Jakarta by surveying through a questionnaire. This study employed satisfaction, trust, and socio-economic status as independent variables and the perception of water quality as a dependent variable. Also, the chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression were employed to test the hypothesis and the significance between independent and dependent variables. Chi-square tests reveal correlations between trust, socioeconomic status, and perception of water quality. However, regression analysis highlights socio-economic status and trust as the primary influential factors. The study provides evidence of unequal access to water across different socio-economic statuses and demonstrates how the need for government transparency and trust in water institutions affects urban communities' perceptions of water quality.

Culture or local wisdom is very important for environmental sustainability in areas such as Jember, where the ecological potential is that there are many “Gumuk” fields that used to stand strong but are now starting to be eroded or exploited by local and foreign communities. This research aims to analyze the role of local wisdom in preserving “Gumuk” in Kaliwates District, Jember Regency, and develop a concept for local wisdom-based community education for “Gumuk” conservation in Jember. This research was carried out using phenomenological methods and descriptive analysis, and then the Likert scale became the data analysis technique used in this research. This research shows that local wisdom is valuable and benefits people’s lives. Local wisdom is part of life’s way of solving all life’s problems. There needs to be a role for local wisdom of the community to maintain and preserve existing “Gumuk” so that they are not continuously exploited following the increasing needs of the community. Applying local wisdom in keeping “Gumuk” is the government’s basis for creating conservation policies. Community-based education is a mechanism that provides opportunities for everyone in society to enrich knowledge and technology through lifelong learning.

The objectives of this research are: (1) identify the community’s willingness to pay (WTP) for domestic water environmental services and their WTP value; (2) analyze the factors that influence the domestic water WTP value; (3) analyze the potential for self-financing for water conservation; and (4) formulate mechanisms and strategies for the management of conservation self-help funds. This research was conducted in the upstream area of the Renggung Watershed with 30 sample households. Data were analyzed using a mathematical approach to calculate the WTP value and multiple regression analysis was used to determine the factors influencing WTP. The research results are as follows: (1) the majority (83.33%) of the community is willing to pay for domestic water environmental services with an average WTP value for each household of IDR 6,633 per month; (2) there are three factors that have a significant influence (p<0.10) on the WTP value, namely: age of the head of the family, household expenditure, and education of the head of the family; (3) the potential for self-help conservation funds sourced from domestic water WTP is IDR 744,001,115 per year; and (4) mechanisms and strategies for managing conservation self-help funds are carried out by empowering BUMDES as managers and local non-governmental organizations as supervisors.

This study examines how top management’s environmental awareness and green innovation mediate the effects of digital transformation on sustainable development performance. The current study also looks at the institutional environment’s moderating role in the relationship between mediators (i.e., green innovation and top management’s environmental awareness) and digital transformation. The research uses regression analysis to examine hypotheses on how digital transformation affects firms’ sustainable development performance. It does this by using an imbalanced panel dataset including 1,805 Chinese publicly listed manufacturing companies from 2010 to 2021. The findings reveal that digital transformation is positively related to sustainable development performance. Besides, the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable development performance is mediated by increased green innovation and environmental awareness among top management. Furthermore, a supportive institutional environment enhances the impact of digital transformation on top management’s environmental awareness and green innovation. The study provides new insights into the mechanisms by which digital transformation promotes economic and environmental sustainability in China’s industrial sector. The findings have important implications for businesses looking to use digital technology to increase competitiveness while also achieving China’s "dual carbon" aims of green innovation and environmentally responsible leadership. Theoretical contributions include integrating an institution-based perspective to better comprehend contextual implications on long-term digital transformation.

Detecting and managing coastal water pollution is crucial for preserving ecological functions and ecosystem services. However, it is challenging due to the complex nature of the coastal environment, large spatio-temporal scales, and high operational costs. To improve situational awareness, this study used a top-down approach, integrating multi-spectral data from satellites and drones with different resolutions. By combining these data sources, the researchers obtained complementary results and were able to focus on the same phenomenon from multiple perspectives. The study successfully applied this approach to monitor a polluted water plume in the Domitia coast, Italy, originating from wastewater plants and illicit discharges. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method in assessing water quality and increasing situational awareness in coastal areas. Implementing this approach can aid in the proper management of water resources.

The study was initiated focusing on the rising concerns of the fisher community and environmental activists that construction of 600×2 MW Matarbari Ultra Super Critical Coal-fired power project and construction of 6.5km access road over the foreshore is filling the riverbed and impacting to the aquatic ecosystem of the Kohelia River. The study was carried out to identify the impact issues, to assess the project’s wastewater discharge quality, surface water quality, primary productivity status, and fishery status during dry season. From the primary drain, labor camp wastewater samples were collected, and overflow dredging water samples were taken from the immediate discharge point. Three sites in the Kohelia River had their surface water quality examined between January and March of 2022. Samples were collected by using statistical sampling techniques, stored, and transported to a facility for analysis. By evaluating numerous physicochemical and biological indicators, this monitoring attempts to shed light on the environmental circumstances surrounding the river. Standard procedures were adopted to conduct the Fish Catch Assessment survey to find out the status of fish diversity and catch composition of dry season. Study found that concentrations of COD and Fecal Coliform in labor camp wastewater were significantly higher than national standards. On the other hand, discharged overflow dredging water contained high load of turbidity and TSS that caused significant increase in turbidity and TSS levels of surface water. Compared to the baseline data (EIA 2013), noticeable decline in water level and increase in salinity level of surface water also were observed. Due to wastewater discharge, no variations were observed for other surface water quality parameters i.e. pH, temperature, DO, BOD, COD, Nitrate, Oil and grease, and Fecal Coliform. The study on biological characteristics of the Kohelia River found both abundance and species diversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos community recorded higher than baseline study (EIA 2013) period.

This research aims to analyze the characteristics of consumer behavior regarding the use of shopping bags and the factors that influence it based on an environmental approach. The method in this research is based on ten (10) factors from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model to understand the behavior of carrying shopping bags instead of using plastic bags based on ten (10) variables namely; 1) Attitude (AT); 2) Subjective Norms (SN); 3) Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC); 4) Environmental Concern (EC); 5) Personal Norms (PN); 6) Response Efficacy (RE); 7) Self-efficacy (SE); 8) Behavioral Intention (BI); 9) Anti-Plastic Bag Behavior (APB); and 10) Behavioral Willingness (BW). The results show a significant relationship between trustworthy AT, SN, PBC, EC, PN, and SE. This is evident from the significance value (sig) which is less than 0.05, indicating a fairly high level of confidence. Overall, the results of the research provide a better understanding of the factors that influence consumer decisions in carrying shopping bags, especially among BI consumers. The implications of these findings can be used as a basis for developing more effective strategies for promoting more eco-friendly and sustainable behavior in the future.
