This study evaluates the implementation of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) in improving occupational safety compliance at PT Wichindo Pratama, a heavy equipment manufacturing company with high work risks. The topic was chosen due to frequent violations of safety procedures, such as the improper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and neglect of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which increase the risk of accidents. A qualitative method was used through direct observation, in-depth interviews with 12 shift workers, and field assessments of safety facilities. The findings show that although the company has an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system, non-compliance still occurs. Issues include incomplete PPE usage, disorganized work tools, and unsafe rest habits. Observations revealed potential hazards such as physical (noise), chemical (oil exposure), ergonomic (awkward postures), mechanical (machine use without full PPE), biological, and psychological risks (stress from shift work). BBS is seen as a strategy to connect existing OHS policies with safe work behavior by focusing on mindset and daily habits. The implementation of BBS is expected to reduce accidents and support the creation of a safer, more sustainable workplace.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL) licensing process in Indonesia faces significant challenges regarding meaningful public participation, particularly following the implementation of the Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja). Objective: This research analyzes the urgency for reconstructing public participation mechanisms in AMDAL formation and proposes ideal regulatory frameworks for enhanced community involvement in environmental decision-making processes. This normative legal research employs conceptual and statutory approaches, utilizing qualitative descriptive analysis of legal materials including primary sources (legislation and court decisions) and secondary sources (legal literature and scholarly articles). The study reveals that post-Job Creation Law implementation has significantly restricted public participation scope, limiting involvement to only directly affected communities while excluding environmental advocates and civil society organizations from AMDAL processes. The transition from AMDAL Assessment Commission to Environmental Feasibility Assessment Team has further centralized decision-making authority and reduced community representation. Reconstruction of public participation mechanisms is urgently needed to restore meaningful community involvement, implement good environmental governance principles, and ensure transparency, accountability, and inclusive stakeholder engagement in environmental impact assessment processes.

This study analyzes the mechanism of inter-regional cooperation in managing TransJatim as a sustainable public transportation system in East Java. Using a qualitative approach and literature study, the study identified three main aspects: (1) a multi-level collaboration model between the provincial government and five regencies/cities (Surabaya, Gresik, Mojokerto, Lamongan, Bangkalan) regulated through Governor Regulation No. 15/2018 and inter-regional MoU; (2) four main obstacles including policy asymmetry, fiscal inequality, technological disparity, and local political dynamics; and (3) strengthening strategies through five pillars: institutional consolidation, regulatory harmonization, financing strengthening, digital transformation, and capacity building. The findings show that the effectiveness of current collaboration is hampered by the lack of an authorized joint management institution and a clear accountability system. The study recommends the establishment of an independent TransJatim Management Agency, the preparation of integrated SOPs, a sustainable financing system, and an integrated digital platform to support the achievement of SDGs (especially goals 11 and 13) in sustainable transportation. The strategy implementation is proposed in three stages: preparation (1 year), transition (2 years), and full operation.
