The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land continues to increase along with the pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and settlement expansion. This condition poses risks to food security, environmental sustainability, and farmer welfare. This article reviews literature based on 25 abstracts/research results on LP2B in Indonesia to map policy implementation patterns, the relationship between LP2B and regional spatial planning, inhibiting factors, and the direction of policy strengthening. The method used is a narrative review with thematic synthesis of normative legal studies, juridical-empirical, qualitative, mixed methods, and spatial-quantitative approaches. The results of the review indicate: (1) LP2B is highly dependent on the harmonization of spatial planning policies, especially RTRW/RDTR and licensing mechanisms based on KKPR-OSS; (2) many regions are still stuck at the land inventory-identification stage, not yet reaching the determination and operational protection through LP2B Regional Regulations; (3) dominant obstacles include regulatory asynchronous, weak law enforcement, minimal cross-agency coordination, limited data by name by address, suboptimal socialization, and conflicts of interest in non-agricultural development; (4) incentive-disincentive instruments have not been implemented consistently, although socially farmers tend to accept LP2B protection; and (5) quantitative evidence at the national level shows that LP2B policies have a positive effect on the percentage of rice fields, despite being suppressed by population density and real estate sector growth. This article emphasizes the need for an integrated spatial governance approach, strengthening regional institutions, and designing policies that are socially and environmentally just to ensure that LP2B is effective in maintaining regional food security.

Landslides in the Giritengah Catchment Area are influenced by several factors, including geological conditions, rainfall intensity, geomorphology, soil characteristics, and inappropriate land use practices, all of which affect regional spatial planning and environmental stability. This study presents a literature review that analyzes landslide vulnerability, evaluates the impact of land use changes, and proposes integrated Soil and Water Conservation Techniques (SWCT) to support sustainable land management. The analysis applies Geographic Information System methods using thematic map overlays such as rainfall distribution, slope gradient, geological structure, and land use patterns. The results show that areas categorized as having high landslide vulnerability cover 44.02% or approximately 158.69 hectares of the catchment area, while areas with very low vulnerability account for only 0.12% or about 0.79 hectares. Land use conversion, particularly mixed dryland agriculture, has increased landslide risk by reducing slope stability and increasing surface runoff. To address this issue, conservation strategies are recommended, including vegetative measures such as greening 38.51 hectares in settlement areas and implementing agroforestry systems across 218.48 hectares. In addition, structural measures such as three dam retainers and twenty gully plugs are proposed in both protected and cultivation zones to support disaster mitigation and align with regional spatial planning policies.

This research aims to analyze the quality of electronic services (E-Service Quality) on user satisfaction of the DANA digital wallet application in the West Jakarta area. The evolution of financial technology (fintech) in Indonesia has encouraged rapid growth in the use of digital wallets, including DANA which is recorded to have more than 200 million users by 2024. However, this rapid growth is still marred by a number of user complaints regarding system reliability, service response speed and transaction security. Therefore, this study is important to evaluate how much e-service quality dimensions influence user satisfaction levels. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an associative type of research. Data was collected through questionnaires from 100 respondents who were active users of the DANA application in the West Jakarta area using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software through validity tests, reliability tests, and simple linear regression analysis. The research results show that E-Service Quality has a positive and significant effect on user satisfaction of the DANA application with a coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.907, which means that 90.7% of the variation in user satisfaction can be explained by the E-Service Quality variable, while the remaining 9.3% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The results of the significance test (t test) show a significance value (Sig. < 0.05) which indicates that the influence of E-Service Quality on user satisfaction has been proven to be statistically significant. The results of this study are expected to serve as evaluation material for DANA application managers in improving the quality of digital services, particularly in terms of efficiency, system reliability, security, and user responsiveness. Furthermore, this research is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of studies in the field of information systems and digital service management.

It is hoped that in the future, this technology can be further developed to improve its efficiency and sustainability.

Soil strength characteristics are strongly influenced by its physical and mechanical properties, one of which is shear strength. Soil shear strength is affected by cohesion (c), internal friction angle (ϕ), and soil moisture conditions. In open-pit mining conditions, soil moisture content is greatly influenced by rainfall and water seepage, which can increase the degree of saturation within the soil mass. An increase in the degree of saturation generally leads to a rise in pore water pressure, thereby reducing the effective normal stress and resulting in a decrease in soil shear strength. This study aims to determine the effect of the degree of saturation on soil shear strength. This research employs a quantitative method to analyze the influence of the degree of saturation under three conditions (natural, dry, and saturated) on soil shear strength through laboratory testing using the direct shear test. The tests conducted include soil physical properties testing in accordance with SNI 1965-2008, specific gravity testing based on SNI 1964-2008, and soil shear strength testing following SNI 3420-2016. The results indicate that the average degree of saturation under natural conditions is 64.63% with a cohesion value of 7.4 kN/m², under dry conditions is 33.18% with a cohesion value of 8.2 kN/m², and under saturated conditions is 83.08% with a cohesion value of 3 kN/m². It can be concluded that a higher degree of saturation or more saturated soil samples result in lower cohesion values, whereas a lower degree of saturation or drier soil samples lead to higher cohesion values.

Mine slopes play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of mining activities. Continuous mining operations can alter slope conditions, thereby increasing the potential for instability and slope failures. Slope stability is influenced by the balance between resisting forces and driving forces acting on the rock mass. When the resisting forces are smaller than the driving forces, the slope becomes unstable and failure may occur. Therefore, slope stability analysis is essential to prevent landslide hazards, as it directly affects occupational safety, equipment security, other assets, and overall production continuity. These conditions have encouraged PT Insani Bara Perkasa to develop a more accurate and real-time slope monitoring system. The application of radar-based monitoring was initiated using the CHCNAV PS-2000 system. This study aims to analyze the deformation behavior of mine slopes using radar technology. Data acquisition was conducted at Pit K1 Mahakam, PT Insani Bara Perkasa, covering Area 1 South, AR 2 South, AR 3 South, AR 5 South, AR 6 South, AR 7 West, AR 8 West, AR 9 South, AR 13 South, as well as TA-2, TA-3, and TA-6 areas. The study was carried out from November 2025 to December 2026. The analysis results indicate that most monitoring points are in stable conditions, with indications of a progressive phase observed in the AR 6 South area.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is an important element in creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment. PT. X as a logistics and port operations company has potential occupational hazards originating from physical, chemical, and biological factors that need to be managed optimally. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of OHS at PT. X based on the results of measurements of physical, chemical, and biological factors of the work environment and their compliance with the provisions of the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 5 of 2018. This study uses a descriptive method with an evaluative approach to work environment monitoring data in 2025 in the generator and office areas. The parameters analyzed include noise, lighting, hot work climate (ISBB), inhalable and respirable dust exposure, and microbiological air quality in the form of total bacteria and fungi. The results show that most parameters meet the specified standards, with the exception of the generator area which exceeds the noise limit and the hot work climate which exceeds the Action Level (AL). The implementation of OHS at PT. X has been running quite well, indicated by most of the work environment parameters that meet the standards. However, strengthening risk controls, particularly regarding noise and hot working conditions in operational areas, is still necessary. This evaluation is expected to serve as a basis for continuous improvement in the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) to protect workers from potential occupational hazards and support the productivity and sustainability of company operations.

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are increasingly developed due to their high efficiency, power density, durability, and environmental friendliness. However, the high cost of platinum catalysts limits their widespread application. Reducing platinum usage through the development of low-cost catalyst support materials is a promising approach. Activated carbon derived from biomass offers a sustainable and economical alternative, particularly when utilizing agricultural waste such as coffee husks, which are often discarded. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of activated carbon produced from coffee husk waste through pyrolysis as a catalyst support for PEMFCs. Pyrolysis was conducted at 400 °C, followed by chemical activation using 1 M H₃PO₄ and 1 M KOH with a residence time of 90 minutes. The resulting activated carbon was analyzed through proximate analysis to determine moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, and fixed carbon content. The results showed that activation with 1 M H₃PO₄ produced the lowest moisture content (3.4%), the lowest ash content (3.8%), and the highest fixed carbon content (60.5%), while 1 M KOH yielded the lowest volatile matter content (27.7%). Based on these results, activated carbon produced using H₃PO₄ meets the requirements of SNI No. 01/6235/2000 and demonstrates strong potential as a catalyst support material for PEMFC applications.

Fly ash and bottom ash (FABA) are combustion residues from coal-fired power plants. Following the issuance of Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021, FABA is no longer classified as hazardous and toxic waste (B3). However, FABA must still be managed properly due to its potential to cause pollution through leachate generated if leaks occur in the FABA disposal area. This study evaluates the lining and drainage systems in the FABA disposal area at PT. PLN Nusantara Power UP Paiton to ensure that leachate does not contaminate surrounding groundwater. The research employs descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods, collecting secondary data to assess the structure and pollution control systems in the FABA disposal area at PT. PLN Nusantara Power UP Paiton. The data includes the disposal area structure and water quality from monitoring wells. Analysis results indicate that the FABA disposal area lining system operates effectively and in compliance with regulations, successfully containing leachate movement and preventing seepage. This is supported by pH, Fe, Hg, and turbidity levels in groundwater from monitoring wells remaining within safe limits. Additionally, the presence of a runoff pond helps contain surface runoff during heavy rain, keeping overflow water under control. Overall, the disposal area structure and leachate management system at PT. PLN Nusantara Power UP Paiton function well, but routine monitoring must continue to ensure no seepage occurs, preventing leachate from contaminating the surrounding environment as an early preventive measure to maintain environmental quality and regulatory compliance.

Gastric disease is a common health problem that can disrupt daily activities if not properly treated. To aid the initial diagnosis process, this study developed a web-based expert system capable of diagnosing various types of gastric disease based on the symptoms experienced by the user.

Overburden removal at Pit B did not meet the production targets for June and July 2025, which were set at 570,698.8 BCM and 400,986.56 BCM, respectively, while the actual production achieved was 507,071.66 BCM and 312,128.23 BCM. This study aims to determine the theoretical productivity of loading and hauling equipment and to identify the factors that hinder the achievement of production targets. The primary data used in this study include the cycle time of loading equipment, the cycle time of hauling equipment, bucket fill factor, and delay time. The secondary data required consist of swell factor, number of passes, bucket capacity, and available working time. The productivity of the loading equipment was 332.58 BCM/hour, while the hauling equipment achieved a productivity of 53.16 BCM/hour, with a match factor of 0.74. This indicates that the loading equipment experienced waiting time during loading operations due to the hauling equipment not operating optimally or at full capacity. The factors inhibiting the achievement of production targets include a narrow, waterlogged, and uneven working face; hard overburden material; a road grade of 16%, which exceeds the standard maximum of 12%; a curve road width of 15 m, which is less than the ideal minimum width of 19.95 m; undulating haul roads; narrow haul road width; and dusty road conditions.

Increasing in energy demand and limited fossil fuel reserves have driven the use of environmentally friendly alternative energy sources. This study aims to analyze the effect of pyrolysis temperature variations on the quality of biopellets made from bagasse and coffee husks. The materials were prepared in a 50:50 ratio with the addition of 15% tapioca flour as a binder. The pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures of 450°C, 500°C, and 550°C for 120 minutes in oxygen-free conditions. The biochar resulting from pyrolysis was formed into biopellets, which were then tested for proximate composition, calorific value, and combustion rate. The results showed that an increase in pyrolysis temperature had a significant effect on the characteristics of the biopellets. A temperature of 550°C produced the lowest moisture content (8.436%), the highest fixed carbon content (62.191%), the highest calorific value (6293 cal/g), and the highest combustion rate (0.05789 g/sec). Conversely, ash content increased with rising temperature, while volatile matter content decreased. Thus, the best biopellets were obtained at a temperature of 550°C. This study confirms the potential of bagasse and coffee husks as raw materials for biopellets through pyrolysis temperature optimization to support the development of sustainable biomass energy.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various doses of 6.25% Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) and 0.1% polymer flocculant in reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and assessing pH changes in coal stockpile wastewater at PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Paiton Unit 9. Stockpile wastewater typically contains high levels of suspended solids originating from water spray activities that carry fine coal particles. The coagulation–flocculation process was performed using the jar test method with PAC dosages of 35 ppm, 50 ppm, and 65 ppm, along with flocculant dosages of 6 ppm and 7 ppm. pH and TSS were analyzed before and after treatment to assess process effectiveness. The results indicate that a PAC dosage of 35 ppm combined with a 6 ppm flocculant achieved the highest TSS removal efficiency of 98.15%. Increasing PAC dosage resulted in reduced performance due to overdosing effects, leading to charge destabilization and impaired floc formation. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing coagulant dosage to improve stockpile wastewater quality for safe reuse in operational activities.

This study focuses on the analysis of traffic density in Jember City, particularly at the Wirolegi Intersection, which is known to have a high density level. This condition often triggers congestion that hinders public mobility, so that appropriate and data-based handling efforts are needed. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the level of density at critical congestion points through a statistical approach using the One Way ANOVA method. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a descriptive observational approach. Primary data was collected directly through a field survey in 2025 at the Wirolegi Intersection as one of 3 intersections in Jember City. The data obtained were then processed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and One Way ANOVA with the help of SPSS software. The results of the analysis show that the traffic flow density on the three routes studied, namely Jalan Gunung Haryono, Jalan Brigjen Katamso, Jalan Yos Sudarso, does not show a significant difference. The significance value of the ANOVA test is greater than 0.05 which indicates the similarity of density levels between routes. Further testing (post hoc testing) also strengthens this finding. The conclusion of this study shows that handling congestion at the Wirolegi Intersection needs to be done comprehensively through traffic control and evaluation of the transportation system to improve smoothness and mobility in Jember City.

Traffic performance on urban road segments is strongly affected by vehicle volume and travel time, particularly during peak periods. This study analyzes the relationship between travel duration and the total number of vehicles passing along Otto Iskandar Road as an illustration of urban traffic conditions. Data were collected through field surveys, focusing on two main variables: average vehicle travel time and total traffic volume. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics, including normality testing and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to identify potential differences between the observed variables. The results show a difference in average values between travel duration and vehicle volume; however, this difference is not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (p = 0.180). These findings indicate that increases in traffic volume do not always lead to proportional increases in travel time, although they can still influence the stability and efficiency of traffic flow. The results are consistent with previous studies, such as Halim (2021), who reported that U-turn movements affect speed and traffic performance, and Handayani et al. (2024), who found that parking activities and vehicle maneuvers reduce road capacity. Other studies also highlight the impact of side friction and traffic flow variations on speed and saturation levels. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of managing vehicle flow and monitoring travel time in urban transportation planning and traffic management.
