Environment is easily changing through urban development and people's growth. In this situation, the availability of clean water would be threatened unless it has a good water management. The purpose of this research is to examine Moslem women’s participation in the sustainable household clean water management. This descriptive research analyses quantitative and qualitative data collected using questionnaire and interview towards 50 household women. The sampling methods employ accidental sampling in the Moslem community. This research has found that household clean water management has not been optimally done yet, so it could not perform the water use efficiency for environment and water sustainability although the women’s participation rate is high (75,40). In addition, the teaching of Islam has not emerged as the basic principle for water management by Moslem women in their household shown by the lack of sustainable water management practices.

Indonesia is the largest oil palm producing country in the world. The increases of plantation area and oil palm production in Indonesia are feared to have negative impacts on environment. As an effort to overcome it, Indonesian Government made a certification called Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). This research was carried out in plasma plantations in Siak Regency, Riau, Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine characteristics of smallholders and application of sustainability aspects in facing ISPO standardization. Results showed that average sample of smallholders who was men, in their productive age, had received 9-year compulsory education program, and had more than 10-year farming experience. Application of economic aspect is in "Very Good" category with a score of 4.80. Application of economic aspect is in "Fairly Good" category with a score of 2.31. The application of environmental aspect is in "Fairly Good" category with a score of 2.77. The application of aspects is not maximal because there are several indicators of ISPO that have not been implemented by the smallholders.

Entikong Lama is a densely populated residential area and the center of economic activity located on the riverbank. However, there was poor management of municipal wastewater that influences water quality of the river. Moreover, the river water is used by society for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing and toileting. Hence, municipal wastewater management is needed to prevent river from polluted municipal wastewater. This research is a social analysis to investigate social perspectives on wastewater management planning. This analysis is imperative to find out the social response and willingness of the society towards municipal wastewater management. The social survey was carried out using the interview and questionnaire method. This research found that about 93% of the household already had water closets (WC) and 83% already had septic tanks. The problem that occurs is that the septic tank has never been sucked up because there is no desludging service. This is due to the fact that there are no Fecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) facilities in the Entikong Lama. Later, communal Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) planning program was offered to the society. About 72% of the household agreed to the communal WWTP program and the rest refused or abstained. Even though it reached high positive response from the society, there were some considerations of the communal WWTP program: the location of the communal WWTP, the clarity of those who manage the wastewater plant and the amount of fees charged to the society.

This article examined the Javanese view on the earthquakes recorded in the manuscripts. Javanese people were chosen because they have a typical and unique view in interacting with fellow humans, nature and God. While the manuscripts were placed as a database, because it is a historical record, thoughts, attitudes, views in the past. There are three problems examined in this article, namely: how are the understanding and attitudes of the Javanese people towards earthquake events, what are the factors influencing that understanding, and what are the functions in disaster mitigation? By using Karl Mannheim's sociological theory of knowledge, it was found that Javanese people understand earthquakes as a sign system attached to predictive and subjective-imaginative meanings and spiritually responded to by prayer and slametan ceremonies. And the most important thing found in this study is that the Javanese understand the earthquakes actively and positively, in which they always move from one destiny to another to maintain harmony and safety.

Phytoremediation is a simple technique of wastewater processing by utilizing the plant activity to vanish, replace and stabilize or destroy the pollutant either organic compound or inorganic. This research utilizes Eichhornia crassipes as the biofilter in handling the leachate produced from organic waste degradation. The purposes of this research are to find out the plant growth rate and total Nitrogen (N) absorption in leachate by the Eichhornia crassipes. The experiment shows that the concentration of leachate affects the absorption rate of total N and wet weight of the plant. The model was fit to the experimental data. The metabolism reaction rate constant ( ) and absorption rate constant ( ) at leachate concentration 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% were measured. The highest reaction rate constant and absorption rate constant were 5% of leachate concentration where = 0.008042/day and = 2.30811/day, whilst at the leachate concentration of 30% reaction rate constant and absorption rate constant were the lowest where it reached = 0.00029/day and = 0.04576/day. The absorption ability of water hyacinth to absorb the N which contained in the leachate was affected by the metabolism reaction rate of nitrogen in the plant and the reaction rate of nitrogen degradation into ammonia (NH4) and nitric ion (NO3) in the plant root. The leachate concentration affected the efficiency of N absorption by the water hyacinth. The efficiency of N absorption at leachate concentration of 5; 10; 15; 20; 25 and 30 were 89.81%, 68.99%, 49.51%, 36.32%, 30.28% and 21.64% respectively. Overall, this technique presents a simple technique approach and the utilization of elements contained in the leachate as the nutrition for plant.

Operationalizing sustainability within the real estate development is a challenge as such development process is complex, multidisciplinary in nature and involves multiple agencies. The paper, therefore, aims at strengthening the conceptualization of sustainability within the real estate development process (REDP) to address this challenge effectively. Adopting the systematic review, 127 publications focused on sustainability and REDP were appraised. Focusing on the institutionalist viewpoints, sustainability was found to be a problem driven notion which is socially constructed. Therefore, it requires to be viewed within the larger picture of agency, structure and power in the context of economic, social and environmental uncertainties. These are found to be applied in the same way in the contemporary REDP literature too. On account of this, the paper suggests, conceptualizing sustainability within REDP needs the latter to take into account the agency dynamics of actors in the development process such as agency motivation (values) to offer a meaningful operationalization of the concept. In other words, this paper calls for significant stakeholder participation in the REDP which allows significant levels of economic, social and environmental values of actors to be brought forward to build consensus to determine as to what is sustainability within it.

ABSTRACT As the increasing of the public consumption pattern, it is followed by environmental pollution offset, which is increasingly alarming. This study aims to analyze how sustainable consumption behavior of Muslim women mediates the intention to behave. Two variables that are thought to influence the sustainable consumption behavior are environmental value and environmental sensitivity by mediating behavioral intention. This study uses a survey method with a population of Muslim mothers in the Sukoharjo area, a sample of 100 respondents, with sampling using a purposive technique, namely judgment sampling, and questionnaires with 12 indicator indicators. The results of the validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests support the continuing research. Results from the path analysis show that the variable ‘environmental sensitivity’ has a significant effect on behavioral intention and sustainable consumption behavior. Hypothesis test results show that environmental values have a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention and sustainable consumption behavior. The results of the sobel test show that behavioral intention can mediate the relationship between environmental values and the sustainable consumption behavior.

Palm oil is one of the most widely produced plantation commodities in the world. World demand for palm oil is also increasing due to the increasing demand for products that use palm oil. This increase ultimately results in the development of the palm oil processing industry which causes the increasing volume of waste produced. Palm oil waste can be utilized and treated as bioenergy so as to add economic value to the waste. The purpose of this paper is to determine the benefits of palm oil waste as bioenergy. The results show that palm oil waste such as shells, empty fruit bunches of palm, fibers, leaves, midribs and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) have several potential contents to be utilized as bioenergy such as biogas, biodiesel, biobriquette, electricity generator, and activated charcoal. Apart from that as bioenergy, palm oil waste can be used as an antioxidant, animal feed, fertilizer and concrete additives.

This study seeks to examine “in situ” remediation effectiveness of NPK fertilizer treatment as a viable biostimulation-based bioremediation technology for soil remediation by evaluating data obtained from soil physicochemical properties before and after initiation of bioremediation. Bioremediation was initiated by stimulating indigenous microorganisms in soil by NPK application while remediation was determined by soil physicochemical condition after nutrient amendment and changes observed in plant height after 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 days of planting. Rhizomes of turmeric were planted in soil treated with NPK fertilizer and control in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data generated from soil physicochemical parameters in laboratory and field was analyzed before and after treatment. Study showed increase in available potassium, available phosphorus, total nitrogen, pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic carbon. However, there was decrease in aluminium, soil organic matter and acidity. Sand, silt and clay also decreased slightly. Study revealed significant increase in plant height from plants that benefitted from nutrient amendment.
