Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to measure the efficiency of the healthcare system in Indonesia in 2014-2018. Methodology:The Data Envelopment Analysis model was used to analyze 33 Provinces in Indonesia in the 2014-2018 period. The input variables are the number of health human resources at the community health centre, health human resources at the hospital, the number of hospitals, the number of community health centres and the realization of per capita deconcentration health funds. The output variable was Life Expectancy Index. Main Findings:The results of the analysis show that Lampung, West Java, Banten, West Nusa Tenggara and West Sulawesi whose health system reaches efficiency compared to other provinces in Indonesia during the observation period.Applications: This result suggests that the provinces where health services are inefficient are caused by the low absorption of health deconcentration funds. These findings indicate that the distribution of health services in all regions has not been equally conveyed. These findings can be used to develop a program to assist and improve the efficiency of the health care system in Indonesia. Novelty:One of the input variables used in this study is the realization of health deconcentration funds per capita which is the novelty of previous research.

Waste management in the big cities of Indonesia is still become a complicated problem. This article aims to analyze the influence of socio-economic factors which consist of GRDP per capita, population density, gender ratio, the proportion of population productive age and education on the efficiency of waste management service (WMS) in provincial capitals in Indonesia. The method used was Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The resulted WMS efficiency from this study were 0.39. Based on that value, it means the efficiency of WMS are still low and the efficiency can be improved about 61%. It also can be concluded that all variables were significantly influenced the WMS efficiency, except gender ratio. Expected that the result of this study can be used by both central and local government to improve the WMS in Indonesia.

Human development is a good indicator to measure the progress of a nation.Welfare of a nation measured not only from the gross domestic product, but also from the human development aspect, which include education and public health. The paper represented education and health aspect by the Human Development Index (HDI) while the economic performance is reflected by the value of Purcashing Power Parity (PPP) index. This study analyzes the efficiency of government spending on human development using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The study shows that the level of efficiency of government spending on human development in some districts in Central Java during 2008 -2012 is more than 90%.

Many actions were done by students online during the Covid-19 pandemic. This activity generates waste as well. The aim of this paper is to learn more about how students dealt with waste during the pandemic. The research was conducted using descriptive analysis. Samples were taken purposively by students of the Economics and Business Faculty Diponegoro University and students of the Economics and Business Faculty Tadulako University. According to the findings of the study, the majority of students who responded do not appropriately manage waste. This situation requires attention since students can be agents of change for the better in order to ensure the sustainability of the environment. Keywords: waste management, pandemic, student, environment

This research work has been focused on China and India. Both Countries has a big number in population in the world and the rate of economic growth has been increasing every year. However, this is still accompanied by air pollution (CO2 emissions). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship of population and GDP to CO2 emissions in China and India in the 1984-2014 timeframe and provide policy recommendations related to the problem being analyzed. Estimates use VECM to analyze the data collected. The results of the study show that in China and India, GDP and population in the short and long term have a positive effect on CO2 emissions and provide policy recommendations on willingness to pay for industry and willingness to accept for the community. The Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis was not confirmed in the case of China and India.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini memberikan edukasi berupa sosialisasi kepada masyarakat Kelurahan Bandengan Kecamatan Kendal Kabupaten Kendal untuk menerapkan pola hidup bersih untuk menunjang kegiatan produksi. Kelurahan Bandengan Kecamatan Kendal Kabupaten Kendal, sebagai Kelurahan yang mayoritas kelompok masyarakatnya bekerja di sektor perikanan. Laut yang menjadi bagian dari habitat Kelurahan Bandengan selalu menjadi modal utama masyarakatnya untuk mencari nafkah. Kelurahan Bandengan jauh dari kategori lingkungan sehat, sungai dan sub-sungai digunakan untuk membuang sampah sembarang dan untuk Buang Air Besar (BAB). Sampah-sampah yang terakumulasi di Kelurahan ini, menimbulkan polusi udara yang berasal dari bau tumpukan sampah yang terkumpul di sungai. Bau sampah ini bercampur dengan bau ikan yang dijemur oleh kelompok masyarakat yang berprofesi sebagai nelayan. Kondisi ini menyebabkan usaha perikanan di Kelurahan Bandengan menjadi kurang maju, mengingat lingkungan yang kurang bersih, sehingga konsumen pun enggan untuk membeli produk perikanan dari Kelurahan ini. Kegiatan pengabdian diharapkan mampu memberikan luaran berupa peningkatan kapasitas kelembagaan kelompok pelaku usaha perikanan, peningkatan penerapan pola hidup sehat untuk menunjang kegiatan produksi.
