Air quality in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta has shown a concerning decline in recent years, largely due to high emissions from motor vehicles as the main source of pollution in urban areas. The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta issued Governor Regulation Number 66 of 2020 concerning Exhaust Emission Testing for Motor Vehicles as a public policy instrument aimed at controlling air pollution. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the regulation from a public policy perspective and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its execution. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by qualitative analysis of policy documents and reports on the implementation of emission testing. The results reveal that the implementation of the regulation has not been optimal due to limited emission testing infrastructure, low levels of public awareness and socialization, and inconsistent enforcement of administrative sanctions. Nevertheless, there are opportunities to improve policy effectiveness through strengthened inter-agency coordination, digitalization of monitoring systems, and increased environmental literacy among the public. Therefore, the success of emission control policy implementation is highly dependent on resource support, regulatory consistency, and community awareness, necessitating a comprehensive and continuous multi-stakeholder improvement strategy and stronger commitment.

Slum upgrading is a strategic step in improving the quality of life of urban communities, where its success is largely determined by the active involvement of local residents. This study aims to analyze the level of community involvement in the implementation of slum upgrading in Mantuil Village, South Banjarmasin District. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 98 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to measure the level of participation in four stages of the activity. The results show that community involvement is in the good category, but has an uneven distribution. The highest average scores were found in the utilization stage (30.44) and maintenance stages (30.23), indicating that community participation is driven by the principle of direct benefit from the infrastructure being built. Conversely, participation in the planning and implementation stages tends to be lower due to structural barriers such as time constraints and respondents' economic burdens. These findings confirm that sustainable settlement upgrading requires synergy between community social capital and government policies that are adaptive to the geographic characteristics of the region, particularly related to tidal flooding vulnerability in riverbank areas.

The flash flood disaster that hit Indonesia, including the devastating disaster in three Sumatran provinces in November-December 2025 which resulted in more than 900 casualties and trillions of rupiah in losses, shows a strong correlation between environmental damage caused by corporate activities and increased disaster risk. The purpose of this study is to analyze corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters based on the Environmental Management Law (UU PPLH), examine the mechanism for proving corporate criminal liability, and evaluate the application of criminal sanctions against corporations that commit environmental damage resulting in flash flood disasters. The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive analytical statute approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through library research and interviews with sources at the North Sumatra Provincial Environmental Service. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that: First, corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods has been comprehensively regulated in Articles 116 to 120 of the Environmental Management and Management Law, which recognizes corporations as subjects of criminal law and regulates the criteria for corporate crimes (committed by, for, or on behalf of a business entity), the responsible party (the business entity and/or the person giving the order/leader of the activity), a one-third aggravation of the sentence, and corporate representation in court, as reinforced by Supreme Court Regulation Number 13 of 2016. The conclusion of this study is that the Environmental Management and Management Law has provided a comprehensive legal framework for corporate criminal liability for environmental damage resulting in flash floods. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement still needs to be improved through accelerating the judicial process, strengthening the capacity of law enforcement, improving inter-agency coordination, and strengthening the decision execution mechanism.

Nosocomial infections, also known as Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), are infections acquired by patients during their stay in healthcare facilities. These infections remain a serious problem because they can increase morbidity and mortality rates, prolong the length of hospital stay, and raise healthcare costs. One classical yet highly relevant approach to preventing nosocomial infections is Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory. This theory emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean environment, adequate ventilation, proper lighting, effective sanitation, and good personal hygiene to support patient recovery and reduce infection risks. Nightingale believed that environmental factors play a crucial role in improving patient health outcomes and preventing disease transmission. In modern nursing practice, the principles of Nightingale’s theory are still widely applied through infection prevention and control programs, environmental cleanliness standards, and patient-centered care. Therefore, understanding and implementing environmental management in healthcare settings remain essential strategies to reduce nosocomial infection rates and improve the overall quality of healthcare services.

The economic valuation of natural resources (NR) is an important instrument in supporting evidence-based decision-making, particularly in sustainable environmental management. Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) serves as a primary approach to assess the economic feasibility of programs or policies by integrating all benefits and costs, including non-market values. This article presents a systematic literature review of studies employing CBA for NR valuation during the period 2010–2024, based on searches in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar, using stringent selection criteria. The review findings indicate that CBA has been widely applied in forest management, biodiversity conservation, land rehabilitation, water and air pollution control, and ecotourism development, providing a quantitative depiction of economic feasibility through indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Key challenges were identified in non-market valuation, long-term uncertainty, data limitations, and sensitivity to discount rate assumptions. These findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental valuation methods, conducting comprehensive sensitivity analyses, and adopting multidisciplinary approaches to strengthen the application of CBA in sustainable NR management, while also offering strategic recommendations and directions for future research for policymakers and environmental economics scholars.

Multatuli Area 4 is highly susceptible to flooding due to its close location to the Deli River and inadequate environmental management, which exacerbate the risk during the rainy season. Despite this vulnerability, community preparedness remains limited, leaving residents exposed to potential damage and loss. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews and direct observations with purposively selected informants who have knowledge of local flooding experiences. The findings reveal that while residents are generally able to recognize early signs of flooding, their responses are largely reactive rather than proactive. Several factors contribute to this low level of preparedness, including limited perception of risk, insufficient economic capacity to implement preventive measures, declining social cohesion and cooperation, and underutilization of available mitigation facilities and infrastructure. These conditions highlight the need for improved community awareness, better access to resources, and strengthened disaster management strategies to enhance flood preparedness in Multatuli Area 4.

The resulting eco-enzyme also has potential applications as natural cleaners, liquid fertilizers, and odor controllers. Thus, the treatment of fruit peel waste not only supports sustainable environmental management practices, but also encourages the implementation of the circular economy as well as community empowerment ecologically and economically.

This study explores the integration of customary law and government regulations in environmental protection, emphasizing the role of community perceptions in shaping effective legal frameworks. Marginal ecosystems, such as coastal areas, urban fringes, and sacred natural sites, often face vulnerability due to fragmented governance systems that fail to coordinate customary practices with formal legal structures. The research investigates how integrating local traditions and state regulations can enhance biodiversity conservation, improve community engagement, and ensure the long term sustainability of environmental management efforts. Findings reveal that when customary laws are formally recognized and incorporated into state regulations, they significantly enhance the legitimacy and effectiveness of conservation policies. Communities in regions like Bali, Indonesia, and Pacific Islands have shown that hybrid legal approaches, which respect traditional ecological knowledge, result in greater participation and trust in conservation activities. However, challenges such as administrative complexity, lack of standardized guidelines, and the need for adequate funding and support for community based governance hinder the full potential of this integration. The study highlights the importance of simplifying legal processes and fostering mutual understanding between customary practices and formal regulations to achieve successful ecosystem protection. This research emphasizes the need for policy reforms that ensure the inclusion of customary law in environmental governance frameworks, ultimately promoting a more inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable approach to managing marginal ecosystems.

Waste management remains one of the major challenges in urban areas, including Rungkut Menanggal Subdistrict, Surabaya. Although two active waste banks already exist, community participation and the optimization of social and material assets remain limited. This community empowerment program aims to optimize local potential through the strengthening of social and material assets based on waste bank activities using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This approach emphasizes the utilization of existing community strengths and resources to create sustainable social transformation. The program was carried out through five participatory stages: discover, dream, design, define, and destiny. The results show a significant improvement in the community’s capacity for household waste management. Residents were able to process approximately 100 kg of organic waste into compost and create creative products such as decorative bags made from plastic waste. Moreover, collaboration among local institutions such as Karang Taruna Arkidli, PKK, Posga Venus, Posga Bumi, and KSH increased, strengthening collective action in environmental management. This program demonstrates that the ABCD approach effectively enhances social capital, increases community participation, and generates both economic and environmental benefits. Waste bank management based on local asset empowerment can serve as a model for inclusive and adaptive community development in urban environmental contexts.
