This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of local commodity agriculture (coffee, areca, coconut, and pineapple) on peatland from social, ecological, and economic perspectives using descriptive and quantitative approaches in Mendahara-Batanghari, Jambi. Data was collected from interviews of 60 farmers in two villages with three types of farms, including monoculture and polyculture of commodities. The results of this study showed that socially, farmers still have difficulty with access and infrastructures. Coconut, areca, and coffee are popular among the smallholders because of land suitability, low maintenance, and high selling price. From an ecological perspective, intercropping on polyculture farms is able to store more carbon with a high density of biomass than on monoculture farms. Generally, the carbon emissions of local commodity farms are lower than other types of plantations, such as oil palm and rubber plantations. Lastly, from an economic perspective, local commodity farming in the study area is feasible based on analyses of net present value, benefit cost ratio, and internal rate of return. Polyculture farms provide higher benefits compared to monoculture land. The income is considered sufficient for standard living needs, and there is potential to increase the revenue by developing and optimising processing product industries.","PeriodicalId":32450,"journal":{"name":"IJEMS Indonesian Journal of Environmental Management and Sustainability","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82866264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identification of noise sources needs should be done to ensure that the sound produced accordance with environmental characteristics. The Jagorawi toll road is the 3rd density toll road in the Jabodetabek area, compared to several other toll roads. Jagorawi toll road is bordered by residential areas. In the Cibubur-Cimanggis sector, this toll road is directly adjacent to residential areas with a distance of < 20 meters and some points do not have barriers to reduce noise. The Cibubur-Cimanggis sector is currently developing with the addition of the LRT, which will operate in 2022 so that current noise measurements can be used as baseline data at the study site. This noise monitoring is intended to conclude whether or not there is an effect of noise felt by the surrounding community from activities on the Jagorawi toll road and to obtain a reduction in noise levels using a single barrier with a height of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 m. Noise monitoring is carried out using SNI 8421:2017 for 24 hours at 2 measurement points in residential areas. Point one and point two each have a noise value (Lsm) of 68.87 and 61.29 dBA with a correlation value of 0.605 (medium). The noise value has exceeded the quality standard for residential designation based on the Minister of Environment Decree No. 48 of 1996 (55 dBA), so a barrier is needed to reduce the noise received by the community. The analysis of the use of the barrier studied is a single barrier with G = 1. As the result of adding a barrier at point 1 with high 2 m, the noise value can be reduced by 16.7 dBA with a p-value of 0.00, so the addition of a barrier has a significant impact on the noise value. This study found the effect of noise from the Jagorawi toll road up to a distance of 114 m at a point that does not use a barrier, so the role of the barrier along the toll road is very important. With the use of a barrier, the distance required to reduce single noise originating from the toll road to < 55 dBA is 20 m.","PeriodicalId":32450,"journal":{"name":"IJEMS Indonesian Journal of Environmental Management and Sustainability","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83835903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only 14-18% as a global average of plastic waste is recycled with only few companies take part in the plastic recycling process. The main goal of the study was to analyse the energy demand and provide a feasible technical solution to conserve energy and reduce the plant's operating costs. A plastic waste recycling station, Amazia Vision Enterprise Private Limited, Satara, India, was purposively chosen to conduct an extensive evaluation of energy requirements. An energy analysis was performed on the process to determine the potential for energy savings and cost reductions. It also aims to reduce the amount of energy used at each stage of the process. Theoretical solutions to conserve energy, reduce waste generation, and thus lower operating costs have been proposed. According to the analysis and subsequent evaluation, the energy requirement can be reduced to 8% of the initial value. A technical solution for recycling of plastics has been proposed which can be implemented to test the feasibility interms of both technical and economical parameters. An energy conservation analysis of a plant has been presented in this paper which will provide a road-map to conserve ever increasing energy consumption and drive more investors in the plastic recycling sector for best plastic waste management practices.","PeriodicalId":32450,"journal":{"name":"IJEMS Indonesian Journal of Environmental Management and Sustainability","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88191319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
