TPS 3R is a community-based waste management approach aimed at reducing waste generation through reduce, reuse, and recycle activities. However, the operational sustainability of TPS 3R still faces several challenges,including  waste processing effectiveness, and community participation. This study aims to analyze the community’s Willingness to Pay (WTP) for waste management fees and to formulate priority recommendations for improving the performance of TPS 3R Banjar Sugihan using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. The research was conducted in Banjar Sugihan Village, Tandes District, Surabaya City, involving 563 household respondents. WTP analysis was carried out using the bidding game method, while QFD analysis was conducted through the preparation of the House of Quality (HoQ). The results showed that the community’s WTP ranged from IDR 16,000 to IDR 19,000 per month. If applied to all 3,758 households in Banjar Sugihan Village, the potential retribution revenue is estimated to reach IDR 60,128,000–IDR 71,402,000 per month. The QFD analysis indicated that the priority strategies for improving TPS 3R performance include enhancing infrastructure facilities, optimizing waste sorting and processing, increasing waste processing capacity, strengthening human resource capacity, and implementing a WTP-based retribution system. Therefore, the implementation of a WTP-based retribution system and priority strategies derived from QFD analysis are expected to support the sustainability of waste management at TPS 3R Banjar Sugihan.

This research is motivated by the vital role of clean water services and the need to optimize operational revenue at BLUD UPT Water Supply Management in Batam City. The study aims to analyze the influence of willingness to pay, ability to pay, and payment awareness on BLUD revenue achievement. A quantitative associative approach was employed, involving a population of 29,047 customers. A sample of 100 respondents was determined using the Slovin formula, and data were analyzed via multiple linear regression using SPSS software. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all three independent variables significantly affect revenue achievement with an F-value of 56.825 and a significance of 0.000. Partially, willingness to pay (t=8.279), ability to pay (t=11.020), and payment awareness (t=10.435) also exert a significant influence. These findings imply that higher community payment behavior directly increases institutional revenue. It is recommended that BLUD improves service quality and payment socialization to ensure sustainable revenue achievement.

This study aims to analyze visitors’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) and to estimate the economic value in supporting the development of Gunung Meja Nature Tourism Park (TWA) as a conservation area. This study employed the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) with a total of 156 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods to obtain the average WTP value and its distribution. The results showed that the average WTP of visitors was IDR 19,300 per person, with the highest distribution in the range of IDR 10,000–30,000 and a dominant value of IDR 20,000 (23%). The estimated economic value of the area based on WTP reached IDR 3,939,245,800 per year, which is higher than the actual revenue of IDR 2,755,431,000 per year. The difference of IDR 1,183,814,800 indicates a potential increase in revenue through tariff adjustment. These findings indicate that visitors have a higher willingness to pay compared to the current tariff. Therefore, the WTP value can be used as a basis for determining optimal tariff policies to support sustainable management of conservation areas and to maintain their ecological functions.

BPJS Health has incurred losses exceeding 200 billion rupiah over a two-year period due to the payment of contributions that were discontinued by participants who had utilized maternity services. Data show that 64.7% of mothers registered as BPJS Health participants only one month prior to childbirth, after which 43% either withdrew their membership or failed to continue paying contributions following delivery. The highest proportion of this behavior was observed among independent participants or non-wage recipients (PBPU). In Jambi Province, the highest level of contribution non-compliance occurs in Jambi City. In 2023, there were 77,489 participants with contribution arrears, resulting in financial losses amounting to 60.1 billion rupiah. Contribution non-compliance is influenced by various factors. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to non-compliance among independent participants in paying BPJS Health contributions after utilizing childbirth services in Jambi City. The findings revealed that 33.3% of independent participants were non-compliant in paying BPJS Health contributions after using maternity services. Significant associations were found between contribution non-compliance and the number of family members (p = 0.001), level of knowledge (p = 0.000), illness perception (p = 0.001), clinical assessment (p = 0.000), and willingness to pay (WTP). Based on these findings, it is recommended that BPJS Health consider implementing a waiting period policy for participants intending to utilize maternity services. In addition, the Jambi City Government should strengthen promotive efforts to educate the public and raise awareness of the importance of health insurance in safeguarding household financial security.  

Informal workers are a group that contributes significantly to the Indonesian economy, but still have a low level of independent participation in the national health insurance program. This low participation is caused by minimal insurance literacy, income instability, and a lack of awareness of the importance of health protection. This activity aims to empower informal workers to have the ability and willingness to become independent participants in health insurance. The method used is a community-based participatory approach through three main stages: education on the benefits of health insurance, microfinance management training for regular premium payments, and assistance with independent registration for participation. The activity results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge and understanding of the benefits of health insurance. In addition, there was an increase in the number of informal workers registering as independent participants and demonstrating a commitment to sustainable premium payments. This program demonstrates that community empowerment can be an effective strategy to expand Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and improve the welfare of informal workers through sustainable health protection.

:Pakistan is a developing country. Its transportation infrastructure mainly consists of road network. About 95% passengers and fright is transported using the road network. This high demand on road network is because of the unreliable railway system between the cities. Due to such high demand on road network the accident involvement risk of an individual is much high as compared to developed countries. This study uses a new modeling approach to estimate road safety risk for WTP.  A correlated random parameters Tobit model (heterogeneity-in-mean) is integrated with machine learning (Decision tree).  The decision tree categorizes higher-order interactions, while the model captures unobserved correlations and heterogeneity. The framework examines WTP determinants using a representative sample of 3178 road users from Pakistan. The model estimates WTP for different (fatal and severe injury) risk reductions to monetize road traffic crash costs. Results show maximum respondents are willing to support safety improvement policies. The model reveals significant WTP heterogeneity linked to perceptions of road safety and accident risk. Systematic preference heterogeneity emerges through higher-order interactions, offering insights into WTP relationships. Marginal effects highlight varying sensitivities to explanatory variables, quantifying their impact on WTP probability and magnitude. The framework provides two key contributions. It identifies public WTP determinants, emphasizing heterogeneous effects. It also helps in prioritization safety policies by understanding public sensitivity to WTP. The insights further emphasizing on the importance of road safety interventions to the specific socio-economic profiles of road users. This study offers a significant contribution to road safety improvement by providing valuable recommendations for policy makers. By integrating detailed socio-economic factors, it also addresses the urgent need for targeted traffic safety interventions in Pakistan. These findings are expected to aid policymakers and stakeholders in developing effective strategies to enhance road safety and reduce the accident involvement risk effectively.
