The benefits of information system of water pollution at Bedadung river towards oral and dental health of the community

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of creating the river water pollution information systems related to oral and dental health community is to facilitate the analysis of diseases caused by water pollution. Material and Methods: The environment-based health management information system based on GIS is based on real data of Bedadung River-Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia includes the location of the dumping points, photo dumping points, the area of garbage accumulation and tooth and mouth disorders that arise due to contamination of river water, which is associated with community dental and oral health data that taken by survey.Results: Through the environmental health information system information can be displayed about the environment and the dental and oral status of the population around the Bedadung river. Conclusion: The use of the environment-based health management information system is very important to help support the government's decision to prevent the spread and severity of community diseases caused by river water pollution, reduce morbidity and mortality and reduce the burden of government financing to treat diseases and disability integrated in an integrated manner.Keywords: Water pollution, Bedadung river, Oral and health community, Environment-based health management information system Cite this Article: Ernanda H, Hamzah Z, Setyowati DI, Handayani ATW, Indriana T. 2018.

The sensitivity level of landslide risk using Geographic Information System on the slopes of Mount Argopura, East Java, Indonesia

“…The Jember area that was hit by floods and caused huge losses included the sub-districts of Panti, Kaliwates, and Rambipuji, while during the dry season, the crops failed because there was no water in the sub-districts of Panti, Sukorambi, Patrang, Rambipuji, Arjasa, and Jelbuk. The Bedadung Watershed passes through Jember Regency, with its upstream divided into two places, namely Mount Raung and Mount Argopura (Ernanda et al, 2018;Alfarisy et al, 2020). Mount Argopura is part of a series of mountains in the Tapalkuda area of East Java (Basuki et al, 2022).…”

The evaluation of land use cover changes through the composite approach of Landsat 8 and the land use capability index for the Bedadung watershed

“…The downstream of Mount Raung in the upper reaches of the Bedadung watershed is precisely in the Districts of Sumberjambe and Sukowono. During the last ten years, Jember, which is the work area of the Bedadung Watershed, when it rains, floods overflow from the Bedadung River, which is unable to accommodate water from the upstream part (Ernanda et al, 2018). In 2016, the Bedadung watershed was evaluated as 17.2% wide, with an erosion hazard level in the heavy category (Gumma et al, 2011;Senanayake et al, 2020).…”
