Urban farming in Pakintelan Village, Gunungpati District, Semarang, was initiated to overcome food security challenges and improve local economic welfare through the use of limited land in urban areas. The main problem faced is the low level of community participation in agricultural activities and a lack of understanding of sustainable agricultural practices. This program involves UNPAND KKN students in providing training in farming techniques, organic pest management, and the use of compost fertilizer. The methods applied include direct training and mentoring by extension workers, routine monitoring and evaluation, and outreach through local communities. Apart from that, the program also encourages the processing of harvests into value-added products and the formation of small farmer groups to strengthen community involvement. As a result, this program has succeeded in increasing community participation, maintaining environmental sustainability, and contributing to the economy with the potential to use harvests for consumption or sale. It is hoped that the replication of the program in other areas will expand its impact, making urban farming a sustainable and inclusive model of urban agriculture.

This study examines the issue of law enforcement related to the conversion of Green Open Spaces (GOS) in urban areas. Using a normative juridical research method with legislative and conceptual approaches, this research analyzes the implementation of Law No. 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning, which mandates the availability of GOS at a minimum of 30% of the total urban area. The findings indicate that law enforcement in GOS conversion faces multiple challenges, including inconsistent regulatory implementation, budget constraints, weak inter-agency coordination, and obstacles in monitoring and enforcement. The pressures of urban facility development and population growth due to urbanization further complicate efforts to preserve GOS. Optimizing the role of local governments in GOS protection and management is carried out through the implementation of the Spatial and Regional Planning  involving various related agencies. The Ministry of Environment’s Adipura Program also plays a role in promoting enhanced environmental management performance by adhering to eight essential criteria within legal products related to environmental and ecosystem protection. This study recommends strengthening the GOS management system through improved inter-agency coordination, adequate budget provision, and the consistent application of firm sanctions.

Decent housing is one of the important factors in ensuring social welfare and improving the quality of life of the community. The need for decent housing is very crucial in big cities, including Surabaya, where population growth and urbanization are very rapid. Although this right has been guaranteed by various national laws and regulations, one of which is regulated in Law Number 1 of 2011 concerning Housing and Residential Areas, there are still gaps in its implementation at the regional level. This article aims to discuss the urgency of establishing a Surabaya Regional Regulation (Perda) on decent housing. As a legal basis that regulates minimum standards for housing quality, access to basic infrastructure, and guarantees of security and comfort for Surabaya City residents. The establishment of this Perda is currently important to overcome the problem of inadequate housing, prevent the emergence of slums, and support the sustainable development of the city of Surabaya. In addition, this Perda is expected to be a solution to the challenges faced by the Surabaya City government in meeting the need for decent housing for all levels of society in the City of Surabaya.

This research aims to analyze the existence and strategic role of the Lembaga Inspirasi Al-Qur’an (LIA) in transforming media-based da'wah into a global tafsir literacy movement. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and digital documentation, this study explores how LIA addresses the challenges of religious literacy among urban communities. The research findings indicate that LIA has successfully developed an integrated da'wah model that combines three main pillars: broadcasting media through the "One Day One Ayat" program on RRI, the production of tafsir literacy (Tafsir Inspirasi, Tafseer of Inspiration, and the Tafsir Muyassar Inspirasi project), and social movements based on waqf. The historical roots of LIA, which began with radio-based da'wah activities in 2006, evolved into a formal institution in 2012 with state recognition through the tashih certification from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The strategy of cross-country intellectual collaboration and a waqf distribution system spanning 24 provinces and 10 countries are key to expanding the reach of this tafsir literacy. The results conclude that LIA's success lies in its moderate thematic tafsir methodology, linguistic innovation (bilingualism), and a systematic operational system in grounding the messages of the Al-Qur’an at the grassroots level dynamically.

Fear of crime is closely linked to various factors such as education, income, race, age, and especially gender. Many studies have shown that women tend to experience higher levels of anxiety than men, thus limiting their participation in utilizing urban outdoor spaces. This condition emphasizes the need for crime prevention efforts to be integrated into urban planning, emphasizing the fulfillment of a sense of security not only physically but also psychologically. If the city fails to provide an adequate sense of security, it will lead to increased anxiety, discomfort, and ultimately limit community involvement in the use of public spaces. This study aims to identify design factors that influence women's sense of security and psychological safety in downtown areas. The research paradigm used is post-positivism with a quantitative approach, reinforced by walkthrough analysis techniques to produce more accurate findings. The results show that control factors are the most dominant aspect in influencing women's psychological security and safety, while sub-factors such as lighting, diversity of activities, availability of open spaces, and road conditions have also been shown to play a significant role in reducing women's anxiety when accessing public spaces. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of city center design that is not only oriented towards physical function alone, but also pays attention to psychological aspects in order to create a safe, inclusive, and gender-friendly urban environment so that women can feel more protected and free to participate in urban life.

This study investigates the effectiveness of green-space–based interventions in reducing eco-anxiety among urban adolescents, a population increasingly vulnerable to climate-related psychological distress. Eco-anxiety, characterized by persistent worry, cognitive overload, and emotional tension in response to environmental change, has emerged as a significant mental-health challenge. The intervention examined in this research involved structured exposure to natural environments combined with guided reflective activities over multiple sessions. Quantitative results showed a substantial reduction in eco-anxiety symptoms, with participants experiencing approximately a 30% decrease in climate-related worry after the intervention. Improvements were also observed in emotional resilience, including enhanced self-regulation, greater cognitive clarity, and improved coping capacity. Qualitative findings reinforced these outcomes, revealing that participants reported deeper emotional calm, stronger feelings of agency, and an increased sense of connectedness with nature. They described green spaces as restorative environments that helped reduce overthinking, clear mental fatigue, and create psychological grounding. These experiences appear to activate mental-restoration processes consistent with environmental psychology, suggesting that nature engagement can serve as both a preventive and therapeutic mental-health strategy. A comparison with conventional counseling approaches indicated that while standard psychological support aids emotional regulation, it often fails to address the specific ecological concerns driving eco-anxiety. In contrast, green-space exposure offers a more targeted and holistic benefit, combining physiological relaxation with meaningful emotional reassurance. The study concludes that expanding access to green spaces, incorporating nature-based therapeutic elements into public-health programs, and promoting balanced climate literacy may enhance adolescent well-being in a time of intensifying environmental challenges.

Rapid urbanization in major cities has led to the decreasing availability of green spaces, exacerbating urban challenges such as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, high energy consumption in buildings, and air pollution. In response, green architecture innovations like green roofs and vertical farming present opportunities for reducing carbon footprints and improving urban sustainability. This study explores the potential for life-cycle carbon footprint reduction through the integration of green roofs and vertical farming systems in high-rise buildings, focusing on energy savings, environmental impact, and air quality improvements. Using Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, the research evaluates carbon emissions reduction, operational energy savings, and ecosystem benefits from different building scenarios. Simulation models were developed for conventional high-rise buildings and those incorporating green roofs and vertical farming. EnergyPlus, SketchUp, and SimaPro software were used for energy consumption calculations and carbon emissions modeling. The study analyzes various intervention scenarios-baseline (no vegetation), green roof only, vertical farming only, and a combined system-based on tropical climate data from cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Kuala Lumpur. Results reveal that the integration of both green technologies significantly reduces cooling demand, lowers CO₂ emissions, and improves urban microclimates by reducing surface temperatures and enhancing air quality. Policy recommendations and guidelines for adopting green construction practices in tropical regions are provided, alongside suggestions for future research on optimizing these technologies, conducting economic modeling, and evaluating multi-building approaches at a district scale.
