    DOI: 10.1063/5.0129221

    Abstract

    This research aims to develop a system that can detect forest fires so that it can prevent the fires from spreading and thus minimize its damage. Forests are natural resources that have great potential to be exploited and conserved, but threats and disturbances often occur that hinder conservation efforts. One of these threats and disturbances is forest fires. One of the impacts of these fires is the loss of biodiversity. Along with the rapid development of technology, by utilizing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the location of forest fires can be detected. The parameters used for fire detection are temperature, humidity, and air quality. The system is built using two sensor nodes and one coordinate node using the XBee S2C radio frequency module to form a wirelessly connected network. All information in the form of temperature formation conditions, humidity, and coordination points to be sent to the server. This data can be viewed on a website via a server computer. The test results show that the monitoring system has been able to detect forest fires based on predetermined parameters. © 2023 Author(s).

    Abstract

    Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is considered a prospective free-floating aquatic plant potentially used to address current issues on food, energy, and the environment. It can grow quickly and easily in various tropical and subtropical environments as long as it has access to adequate light and water to support photosynthetic growth. Ecosystems are threatened by their invasive growth and remarkable capacity for adaptation. However, managing this plant can result in valuable products. This paper demonstrates particle technologies that might be used to utilize water hyacinths, including brake pads, fertilizer, bioenergy, animal feed, phytoremediation agents, bioplastics, and adsorbents. This study is accompanied by a discussion based on the conducted experiments and currently available literature, providing readers with a clearer understanding. Water hyacinth’s capacity to absorb macro- and micro-nutrients, nitrogen, and phosphorus makes it a good plant for phytoremediation. The prospect of producing cellulose makes it prospective as a biomass energy source and livestock feeding. Further, it can be transformed into high-cellulose content particles for applications in bioplastics, brake pads, and adsorbents. The current reports regarding education of water hyacinth to student also were added. Finally, issues and suggestions for future development related to the use of water hyacinths are discussed. This study is expected to provide comprehensive knowledge on how to turn invasive water hyacinth plants into valuable products. © The Author(s) 2023.

    DOI: 10.1016/j.jag.2024.104274

    Abstract

    Equitable internet coverage has emerged as a key global priority, which is essential for promoting inclusive and sustainable development. The Indonesian government aims to provide universal internet access by 2024, particularly in remote regions. This study introduces a novel machine-learning-based approach to identify the priority areas for deploying Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers, which are crucial for achieving the internet access targets of the government. A BTS Network Priority Index was developed by integrating the internet demand estimates with a BTS suitability index derived from key predictors: proximity to fiber optic stations, physical–environmental suitability, and infrastructure–economic readiness. The model identified areas with high internet demand and high BTS suitability as the most critical for immediate development, covering 20 km2. Additionally, future BTS development should target areas with high demand but medium suitability (900 km2) and medium demand but high suitability (280 km2). To validate the methodology, the Random Forest model was employed, which achieved an area under the curve value of 0.7315, indicating strong predictive performance. For the BTS Deployment Suitability parameter, the median was 0.65, with the lower and upper quartiles at 0.44 and 0.85, respectively, confirming that most proposed locations are highly suitable for development. This systematic approach provides data-driven insights for the equitable distribution of BTS towers to ensure efficient internet infrastructure expansion across Indonesia. Furthermore, the study offers a framework that can be adapted by other countries aiming to improve their digital infrastructure and achieve comprehensive, equitable internet access. © 2024 The Author(s)

  • Geographic Information System (GIS) Application to Identify the Distribution of Tourist Attractions and Supporting Facilities Related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

    Geographic Information System (GIS) Application to Identify the Distribution of Tourist Attractions and Supporting Facilities Related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

    Author: Lia Warlina, Afredi A.

    Abstract

    The purpose of this research is to examine the distribution patterns of tourism attractions, hotels, and restaurants, and to explore their implications for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Lembang District. To analyze these distributions, a quantitative approach was applied using nearest neighbor analysis and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. A total of 38 tourism attractions were identified, including 17 natural attractions, 17 artificial attractions, and four cultural attractions; all exhibiting dispersed distribution patterns. There are 32 hotels with random distribution patterns and 178 restaurants that are clustered. Natural attractions are characterized by hilly terrain, forests, valleys, and rivers, which result in physical separation between some sites. In contrast, artificial and cultural attractions tend to be concentrated in more accessible areas, particularly along main routes. Notably, villages such as Cikahuripan, Cikidang, Mekarwangi, Suntenjaya, Wangunharja, and Wangunsari contain tourism attractions but lack adequate supporting facilities, including hotels and restaurants. The spatial allocation of tourism attractions, accommodations, and restaurants significantly influences the achievement of the SDGs. Tourism contributes to 14 of the 17 SDGs, especially SDG 8 (promoting economic opportunities), SDG 1 (reducing poverty), and SDG 5 (advancing gender equality). © 2026 Tim Pengembang Jurnal UPI.

    DOI: –

    Abstract

    In numerous major urban centres, there is a frequent occurrence of infrastructure development in response to the demands of a growing population. These kinds of operations request significant infrastructure investments. However, it is imperative to acknowledge that construction projects generate greenhouse gas emissions, which, in turn, exert a notable influence on pollution levels. This research project seeks to determine the extent to which infrastructure development affects air quality. To achieve this objective, we collected samples measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) levels at various locations within the study area. The research was conducted at three distinct time intervals: morning, afternoon, and evening. The findings of this investigation revealed disparities in CO2 and CO concentrations across these time periods. This research serves as a pivotal benchmark for quantifying the volume of pollution stemming from infrastructure construction activities and its consequential effects on the overall air quality. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
