“…This considerable figure points to the reliance on energy sources for running the facility's equipment such as pumps, aeration systems, and other machinery necessary for treating wastewater effectively [40,41]. This reliance on fossil fuels for energy translates to higher carbon emissions [42,43,44], considering that burning these fuels is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions globally [45]. Therefore, the WWTP's significant energy demands contribute to the broader environmental issue of climate change, underscoring the need for a transition towards more sustainable energy sources within such utilities.…”

This study performs a life cycle assessment (LCA) on the wastewater treatment operations at Sebelas Maret University in Surakarta, Indonesia, with the goal of systematically evaluating the environmental impacts associated with its processes. LCA serves as a comprehensive method for assessing environmental impacts across all stages of a product's life cycle, which includes goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory (LCI), life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), and interpretation. Utilizing this methodology, our analysis categorizes environmental impacts into three significant domains: human health, ecosystem quality, and resource depletion. The findings indicate that human health is the most impacted category, showing an effect of 0.275 disability-adjusted life years (DALY) -equivalent units. Resource depletion follows, measured at 0.193 DALY-equivalent units, and non-renewable energy consumption is quantified at 0.0214 DALY-equivalent units. To address these impacts, the study proposes several improvement strategies, such as adopting more sustainable clean water treatment technologies, capturing and utilizing methane gas through anaerobic digestion, and establishing green spaces for CO 2 sequestration. These strategies aim to reduce the environmental footprint of the wastewater treatment process, moving towards more sustainable management practices.

“…By situating biodigester units closer to the source of organic waste generation, such as local markets, residential areas, and food processing centers, Mojokerto can ensure a more efficient and environmentally friendly waste management process. Community involvement is a crucial aspect of the decentralized model [60,61]. By engaging residents and stakeholders in the operation and maintenance of these biodigesters, the city can foster a sense of ownership and responsibility toward sustainable waste management practices.…”

“…Ensuring the long-term viability of the biodigester framework in Mojokerto involves establishing clear guidelines and protocols for the operation of these decentralized units. This includes training community members in their management, creating a system for reporting and addressing operational issues [60], and setting up a feedback loop with stakeholders to continuously improve the biodigestion process. By focusing on these aspects, Mojokerto can effectively leverage decentralized biodigesters as a critical component of its sustainable waste management strategy.…”

Mojokerto City, located in East Java, grapples with a steadily rising waste generation trend accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN) and supplemented with an exhaustive literature review, this study scrutinizes the potential of biodigester technology as a solution to this mounting challenge. Mojokerto's waste, consistent in its composition from 2019 to 2022, is dominated by food waste, making it an ideal candidate for biodigester intervention. The study revealed that existing biodigester facilities in Mojokerto vary in their waste reduction efficiencies yet collectively demonstrate the viability of converting food waste to energy. For instance, the TPS 3R Magersari Berseri facility showcased an impressive waste reduction rate of 85.0%, processing 62.05 tons out of 73 tons of waste received annually. Comparative analyses of other facilities like TPS 3R Pulorejo "Cahaya Berseri" and TPS 3R Muria Berseri were also conducted, revealing varying degrees of efficiency. These facilities underscore the potential of biodigester technology in managing the rising tide of waste and contributing to sustainable energy generation. The findings of this study also call for increased awareness about food conservation, improved waste segregation at the source, and the promotion of composting and other organic waste processing methods, thereby optimizing the overall efficiency of waste management in the city.

“…Adaptive strategies became essential for the long-term viability of the region's natural and cultural resources [9], [10]. This included measures such as implementing capacity limits at popular tourist sites to prevent overcrowding, promoting ecofriendly tourism activities that minimize environmental impact, and involving local communities in tourism planning and decision-making processes.…”

The surge in tourism within Komodo National Park and Labuan Bajo, located in the Manggarai Barat Regency of Indonesia, presents both opportunities and challenges for the local community and the environment. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the significant increase in tourist arrivals and its implications on the ecological and social dynamics of the region. The allure of Komodo National Park's unique biodiversity and Labuan Bajo's picturesque landscapes has led to an unprecedented influx of tourists, emphasizing the critical need for sustainable tourism practices. This research examines the multifaceted impact of this growth on local communities, focusing on shifts in traditional livelihoods, the emergence of environmental pressures, and the strategies implemented to harmonize tourism development with ecological conservation. The study also explores various initiatives undertaken to mitigate the adverse effects of tourism, including community-based tourism projects and sustainable tourism policies. By offering a detailed assessment of these dynamics, the study provides valuable insights into effectively managing the challenges of tourism expansion in ecologically sensitive areas, ensuring the well-being of local communities, and preserving the region's natural heritage.
