Comprehensive Research Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Electric Vehicle Adoption: Case Study in Jakarta

This article delves into the potential of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Central Jakarta, a densely populated area grappling with significant urban and transportation challenges. Trams are an environmentally friendly mode of transport that is environmentally friendly, efficient, comfortable, accessibility, and enhances the aesthetic value of the city. Trams do not produce exhaust emissions, so they can help reduce air pollution in big cities. This is important for improving air quality and public health. The research variables include cost implications, environmental impact, and other relevant aspects of transitioning from fuel-based cars and motorcycles to electric vehicles. The research extensively explores various reputable sources such as papers, journals, and research studies relevant to the chosen research variables, enhancing the credibility of the findings. The study reveals that while the adoption of EVs presents several opportunities, such as reducing traffic congestion and environmental pollution, it also poses significant challenges. These include high costs of EVs, lack of charging infrastructure, and consumers' unfamiliarity with the technology. The research suggests that addressing these challenges requires an integrated and comprehensive solution, including policy measures such as increasing public charging infrastructure, transforming tax schemes, and providing incentives for EV users. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable urban transportation, providing valuable insights for policymakers, academia, and the local community in Jakarta and beyond.

Analysing The Interest In Buying Electric Motorbikes In The Community In Jakarta

This study aims to analyse the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) on the interest in buying electric motorbikes in DKI Jakarta. TAM is a model used to understand how users accept and use new technology. This model involves several main dimensions, such as Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Attitude (A). This research uses purposive sampling method for sample selection. The analysis techniques applied include descriptive analysis and average score calculation. The results showed that the Attitude Towards dimension received an average score of 3.37 which was included in the "strongly agree" category and was in the very highlevel interval. The Perceived Ease of Use dimension obtained a score of 3.37 which is in the high interval scale range. Meanwhile, Perceived Usefulness received a score of 3.30 which is also in the very highlevel interval. Of the three dimensions, Attitude Towards has the highest effectiveness value, followed by Perceived Ease of Use, and then Perceived Usefulness. This suggests that a positive attitude towards electric motorbikes is the most powerful factor influencing purchase intention, followed by ease of use and perceived usefulness. The implications show that the factors that influence the purchase interest of electric motorbikes can be measured using TAM, which plays an important role in measuring purchase interest in the Jakarta community. In addition, the results of this study can also serve as a basis for the government in designing policies that support the use of electric motors, such as tax incentives or subsidies for the purchase of electric motors.

Social dimensions of climate‐induced flooding in Jakarta (Indonesia): The role of non‐point source pollution

AbstractBecause of its low‐lying location, urbanization, and inadequate infrastructure, Jakarta (Indonesia) has experienced an increase in annual flooding events, rising from an average of five significant floods per year in the 1990s to over 20 annually (2010–2020). With climate change exacerbating extreme weather events, Jakarta encounters escalating risks of flooding. Although the recurrent flooding is exacerbated by non‐point source (NPS) of pollution such as urban runoff and agricultural discharge that contribute to 40% of total pollutants leading to flood‐related issues in Jakarta, none has investigated this research gap. To reflect its novelty, this work explores the implications of climate change on the annual flooding in Jakarta by focusing on NPS and analyzes their impacts from social perspectives. This work also underscores the implications of flooding on livelihoods, health, and social cohesion in Jakarta. Focus group discussion with affected residents was used to shed light on the coping strategies employed in response to recurrent floods, ranging from community‐based initiatives to reliance on informal networks. The empirical findings show that the implications of flooding extend beyond physical damages. Displacement of communities, loss of livelihoods, disruption of essential services, and increased health risks are among the social impacts experienced by local residents. Vulnerable populations, including low‐income communities residing in informal settlements, bear their consequences. Economic losses from flooding amount to USD 500 million annually, impacting over 1 million residents. However, recent interventions have led to a 15% reduction in peak flood levels and a 20% reduction in flood duration in affected areas. Community resilience has also improved, with a 25% increase in flood insurance coverage and a 20% rise in community response initiatives. Overall, this study highlights that climate change exacerbates annual flooding in Jakarta, significantly impacting vulnerable communities through NPS pollution. Addressing the challenges requires integrated approaches combining effective pollution control, resilient infrastructure, and community engagement to mitigate social and long‐term environmental impacts.Practitioner Points Climate‐induced flooding disproportionately affects vulnerable communities in Jakarta. Non‐point source pollution from urban runoff contributes to the severity of flooding in Jakarta. Waterborne diseases, disruption of livelihoods, and reduced access to clean water are major concerns identified in the study. The study highlights the importance of community‐based adaptation strategies to mitigate the impact of flooding and pollution.

The Effect of Exercise on Adolescent Lung Function Performance: An Observational Study in the Adolescent Community in Jakarta, Indonesia

Optimal lung function is a crucial health indicator, especially in adolescents who are in the growth and development phase. Exercise is known to have a positive impact on lung function, but research evidence on adolescents in Indonesia, especially Jakarta, is still limited. This study aims to examine the effect of exercise on the lung function performance of adolescents in Jakarta, considering the urban context with high levels of air pollution. This cross-sectional observational study involved 350 adolescents aged 12-18 years in Jakarta, randomly selected from various schools. Data collection included a physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ short version), anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference), and spirometry to assess lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify associations between exercise and lung function parameters, with adjustment for confounding factors. The results showed that physically active adolescents had significantly higher FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC values compared to less active adolescents (p < 0.001). These results remained significant after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status. There was no significant relationship between age and lung function parameters. Adolescent boys have higher FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC values than girls. Height and weight are positively correlated with FEV1 and FVC. Exercise has a significant positive effect on the lung function performance of adolescents in Jakarta. These findings support the importance of promoting physical activity in adolescents to improve lung health, especially in urban environments with exposure to air pollution. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings and evaluate the long-term effects of exercise on adolescent lung function.

Understanding digital consumer culture in Indonesia: a case study on youth community in Jakarta using an actor-network theory approach

Purpose This study aims to examine digital consumer culture and behavior in the community, namely, 180° Movement Digital Training Center (DTC), in Jakarta, Indonesia. It aims to describe the dynamics of digital consumer culture in contemporary society, particularly as experienced by the youth community in Jakarta in the context of socio-technology relations and incorporates it into the diagram of digital consumer culture network. Design/methodology/approach This research uses a constructivist qualitative approach and socio-technical relation analysis through actor-network theory and digital consumer culture. Findings The study finds that the individual model of digital consumption is constructed through the process of problematization, interessement, enrollment and mobilization of individuals. It generates a culture in which consumers are constantly up to date with high-intensity information, but within increasingly shorter timeframes, while also considering principles of affordability, needs, desires and satisfaction. The network of digital consumer culture construction among informants is peculiar and unstable. Research limitations/implications The study of digital consumer culture within the 180° Movement DTC community highlights how consumer behaviors of its members are facilitated and interconnected within a digital cultural network. However, this research is constrained by the dialectical interplay between Christian principles and the emerging values of consumer culture, a result of the scarcity of theoretical resources and information. This study also provides a specific contribution as a foundation for mapping the volatile digital consumer culture for researchers. Practical implications Understanding the socio-technological relationships and consumption behavior of the youth community could help digital platforms tailor their services more effectively. It could also guide the 180° Movement DTC in developing programs that resonate with the youth, bridging the gap between the physical and virtual realms. Ultimately, this could lead to a more engaged and digitally literate society. Social implications This study contributes to a broader societal understanding of how digital technology is shaping consumer behavior and identity within youth communities, which can influence social dynamics and interactions. It provides insights into the potential social impacts of digital technology, such as changes in relationships, communication patterns and self-perception, informing societal discourse on digital culture. Originality/value In addition to presenting socio-technological analysis on Indonesian consumer culture using actor-network theory, some also show that studies on digital connectivity ambivalence that concern the relationship between humans as actors and non-humans as actors have become one of the popular sociology studies at present.
