Cocoa as one of the most developed plantation commodities in Indonesia has a strategic position in efforts to increase carbon absorption to reduce the rate of global warming. As a woody plant, cocoa can absorb CO2 from the air and store it in the form of carbon (C) in its body (biomass). The absorption process of CO2 also affects the rate of photosynthesis in plants as the main ingredient in the breakdown of carbon in the plant body, especially cocoa. This research was conducted in Gantarangkeke District, Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling method on the basis of consideration of the type, density and cropping system applied. The estimation of biomass used a non-destructive method by measuring the diameter at breast height (DBH 1.3 m) and the height of the cocoa. Carbon storage in cocoa is differentiated by several plant ages, namely 5 years and 10 years. The results showed that the carbon stock in Bantaeng Regency was 27.05 tons/Ha.
Around 50.82% of the age group 15-19 years were smokers in Makassar city, one of which was influenced by tobacco ads exposure (National Institute of Health Research and Development, 2019b). This study aimed to evaluate the violation of tobacco product advertising to Local Regulation of South Sulawesi No. 1 of 2015 on Smoke-Free Area (SFA) in 2019 and its contribution to local revenue of Makassar City in 2018. This was a descriptive study through a quantitative approach with cross sectional design. The observation was conducted on 21 major roads and the document review was performed by processing and analyzing the secondary data of the Regional Revenue Department of Makassar City 2018. Data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS 22. This study found around 51% of 619 tobacco advertising (banner, billboard, name board, poster, pushcart, and video Tron) did not comply with the Local Regulation of South Sulawesi 1/2015. The violations were located in SFA (2%); near schools and healthcare facilities (14%); cut off the roads (16%); the size >72 m2 (6%); and near government offices (40%). The contribution of tobacco advertising was only IDR 736,643,634,-., which was around 0.02% of the local revenue. The violation of tobacco advertising to the Local Regulation 1/2015 and a very small contribution to local revenue showed that Mayor Regulation on Total Tobacco Advertising, Promotion, and Sponsorship (TAPS) Ban should be carried out immediately to prevent children to be the target tobacco industries in Makassar City.Keywords: tobacco advertising, TAPS contribution, local revenue
