This descriptive qualitative research examines the impact of village funds on stunting prevention policies in Nagari Padang Lua, Agam Regency. Data were collected from relevant agencies and parties in the village through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then reduced to obtain accurate conclusions. The results show that the Nagari government has conducted stunting socialization, integrated healthcare center services for pregnant women and toddlers, and provision of the Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) for toddlers. However, these programs have not been effective in preventing stunting due to the lack of involvement of pregnant women and parents of toddlers as the main targets, limited integrated healthcare center facilities and infrastructure, and low community participation and awareness.

Finna Mayrani, Rahmadani Yusran — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes stunting reduction policy strategies in Sawahlunto City, one of the areas with the highest stunting prevalence in Indonesia. Stunting is a condition of low height of children according to their age, which can interfere with children's physical and mental development. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, research data were obtained from primary data from interviews and secondary data from documentation studies. Data is analyzed by source triangulation techniques, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study show that the stunting reduction policy strategy is in the form of a healthy kitchen program to overcome stunting (Dashat), which aims to increase balanced nutrition intake for families at risk of stunting through the provision of healthy food sources, processing of nutritious supplementary foods, providing nutritional counseling and cooking training, as well as monitoring and evaluating the nutritional status of children. Nevertheless, this policy strategy has not been successful because.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Management as the Best Solution to Overcome the Clean Water Crisis in Pinang Island

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Reverse Osmosis (RO) drinking water management can be the best solution to overcome the clean water crisis in Pulau Pinang. RO is a process that allows water to pass through a semi-permeable membrane and separates most of the dissolved salts, organic matter, bacteria, and other substances from the water to produce clean water. The use of the RO method in drinking water management is one of the best alternatives to overcome the clean water crisis, especially in the Pinang Island area with surface water sources that are not dominated by freshwater can ensure the availability of sustainable clean water. However, RO-based drinking water management is water demineralization, so further management is needed such as remineralization to meet mineral standards in drinking water.

Evaluation of the Primary Pipe Network at Banua Anyar Booster Pump as an Effort to Reduce Water Loss in the Service area of Northern Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan

Hendra Arya Pratama, Eddy Setiadi Soedjono — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Recorded as the best PDAM in South Kalimantan in Banjarmasin City. PT. Bandarmasih Perseroda Drinking Water (PAM Bandarmasih) is still facing the problem of high water loss rates of 29.07% in 2022, which is still far above the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) target with a minimum water loss value of 20%. One of the ways PDAM can reduce water loss is by evaluating the pipe network in a District Meter Area (DMA). This research focuses on evaluating the primary pipe network in the area served by the Banua Anyar booster which serves 18 DMAs. Network evaluation using EPANET 2.0 software. The evaluation results show that the diameter of the primary pipe from the booster pump to the Banua Anyar pipe bridge has quite high unit-head loss and flow velocity values due to flow friction with the pipe surface. It is necessary to change the diameter of the primary pipe used in the Banua Anyar booster network from a diameter of 400 mm to 600 mm which can reduce the rate of water loss by 6.3%. In the future, it is hoped that the value of water loss at PDAM Banjarmasin City can be reduced and the affordability of drinking water services for the people of Banjarmasin City can increase.

This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and behavior of local communities in preserving the environment. This type of research is research that uses the literature review method. Literature review research is a method in research to identify, evaluate, and interpret research results that are relevant to a particular research topic, or phenomena that are the focus of research conducted by reviewing scientific articles in a structured and planned manner. In this study, it is known that knowledge has a relationship with people's behavior in maintaining, managing, and utilizing the environment properly without damaging the environment. This is based on the knowledge gained that makes people aware of the importance of protecting the environment so that it can be used by the next generation.

The Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) is part of the science of development ecology which studies the reciprocal relationship or interaction between development and the environment. The existence of EIA is to reduce the negative impacts that will be caused by activities, both development and mining. EIA is carried out as a tool that perfects the planning process for a development activity which not only pays attention to the social aspect but also to the aspect of the influence of the activity on social culture. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method using interviews as a data source. The results of this research are that 96.67% of the population in the development area are native Dayak people who have various kinds of customs, one of which is ngariau and manyanggar which are used for land clearing. Furthermore, if a social conflict occurs, "Jipen" will be imposed according to applicable customs. As for the results regarding community attitudes and perceptions, there were 43.33% of the community agreed with the mining activity plan.

Analysis of the Impact of Coal Mineacid Water on River Water Quality, Biota, and Human Health Around Mining

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) or Acidic Acidic Drainage (AAT) is a type of water runoff that happens when certain sulfide minerals in rocks come in contact with water and oxygen, triggering an oxidation process that results in water with acidic properties. To understand more about this phenomenon, a literature review was conducted using relevant keywords on online information sources. The indicators used to measure the level of acidity in mine water include pH, metal concentration, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) or turbidity level, electrical conductivity, sulfate, and sulfuric acid content. High electrical conductivity in mine water usually indicates the presence of metals such as iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). High levels of manganese (Mn) in water can cause health problems for humans. Moreover, an increase in the concentration of Fe can cause an increase in turbidity or TSS because iron metal can dissolve in air and form solid particles that can cause turbidity. To reduce acidity and environmental pollution, passive or active treatment techniques can be used to neutralize AMD.

Land use planning is the use of land for certain purposes. One issue that may arise during land planning is whether the land is appropriate or suitable for a particular purpose. For local governments, it is very important to know the income potential that exists through land use planning. One of the benefits of writing this article is to get an overview of environmental conditions and the efforts of the Pesisir Selatan Regency government in environmental management. With the increase in population, quality of life, and community welfare, land is needed to meet various needs and facilities. However, the amount of land is relatively fixed, which causes problems in land use in rural and urban areas. This study investigates the conditions of Land Use, Land Conversion, and Potential in Pesisir Selatan Regency. This research produces several conclusions, namely 1) Land in Pesisir Selatan Regency is very suitable for plantation cultivation because of its condition; and 2) Pesisir Selatan Regency has a lot of potential for mining, coastal and marine cultivation, mangroves, and coral reefs.
