Estimating household water consumptions in the Bandung Metropolitan area

The aim of this study is to determine relevant factors contributing to the water consumption in the Bandung Metropolitan area or Greater Bandung, which covered Bandung City, Cimahi City, Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency. Towards achieving this aim, questionnaires were developed and served on the households in various communities to collect relevant data on the physical and socio-economic factors. Online questionnaires and direct survey were conducted with the number of samples proportional to the population of the Bandung Metropolitan area which is 1219 samples. Results of the study revealed that the daily average household water consumption in Bandung and Cimahi cities is 163.6 liters per person per day (lpd), Bandung Regency is 168.6 lpd, and West Bandung is 151.7 lpd, and in general was 161.26 lpd for Bandung Metropolitan. These values are higher than the standard commonly used for planning water supply systems which is 120 lpd. The factor affecting water consumptions are the type of water sources (public and private) and based on the Spearman Rho correlation test socio-economic conditions (economic level, education level, gender, and age) have a significant effect on water consumption as well. Comprehensively understanding household water consumption is necessary to design efficient and effective water demand management.

Host-Community Readiness Towards Tourism Reactivity: Young People's Perspectives in Greater Bandung

Tourism during the pandemic became an actual study topic, the majority of which were studied in terms of changes in tourist behaviour. Plethora studies changes in tourist behaviour selfishly view tourism for the benefit of tourists alone. In contrast, this study examines the readiness factors of community hosts in receiving visits and plays a role in the tourism value chain during the pandemic. Using 310 young respondents living in Indonesia's urban tourism destinations (Greater Bandung), the study confirmed the perceptual factors forming host community readiness. Using SEM-PLS, the study has found that perceptions of internal conditions by the community have a significant impact on the perception of tourism reactivation and the readiness of community hosts. The research model has been able to moderately predict the readiness of community hosts in tourism during the pandemic. Several recommendations were submitted in this study for tourism stakeholders to prepare community hosts in their efforts to achieve successful tourism reactivation.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Diabetic Retinopathy in People with Type 2 Diabetes Attending Community Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in Greater Bandung, Indonesia

Introduction: Determine the prevalence and associated factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among people with type 2 diabetes.
 Design: Cross-sectional study
 Methods: We obtained data of people with type 2 diabetes retrospectively from a community-based DR screening database in Greater Bandung, Indonesia. We encoded the two fields mydriatic 45-degree fundus images to estimate prevalence. The associated factors analysis used multivariate logistic regression.
 Results: We screened a total of 4,251 people with type 2 diabetes from January 2016 to December 2019. The overall age-standardised prevalence of any DR was 30.7% (95% CI: 28.7%-32.8%) and vision-threatening DR 7.6% (95% CI: 6.5%-9.0%). The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of any DR: ages 50+ (OR:1.37; 95% CI:1.05-1.77), duration of diabetes five to ten years (OR:1.38; 95% CI:1.11-1.71) and more than ten years (OR:1.40; 95% CI:1.13-1.73), and postprandial blood glucose 200 mg/dl and higher (OR:1.27; 95% CI:1.03-1.52). The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of vision-threatening DR: duration of diabetes five to ten years (OR:2.01; 95% CI:1.39-2.91) and more than ten years (OR:1.86; 95% CI:1.28-2.71), postprandial blood glucose 200 mg/dl or higher (OR:1.52; 95% CI:1.05-2.21) and systolic blood pressure 180 mmHg or higher (OR:2.67; 95% CI:1.16-6.17).
 Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy is prevalent among people with type 2 diabetes. People with diabetes should regulate their blood glucose and blood pressure to prevent retinopathy related vision loss.

DESIGN WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP WITH E-COMMERCE AND DIGITAL MARKETING OF MICRO SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSMEs) HYDROPONICS IN BANDUNG CITY

Currently, most of the small business in Indonesia are in struggle because of Covid 19 Pandemic so the government encourage any activity to help Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in any provinces. Beside it, certain hydroponic communities surrounding city of Bandung were formed in purpose to enlarge the activities of the planting and harvesting of hydroponic media. Some prefer to think it as a hobby by planting them in the front or back of their home but other members want to develop a small hydroponic industry such as MSMEs. One that is being developed is the MSME group located in Cileles Village, Jatinangor District, Sumedang Regency, West Java. Although Sae Garden Farm hydroponic business has reached the stage of producing tens of thousands of vegetable plants per month, they cannot regularly supply them successfully to their customers. In fact, they need an online site that can promote and sell their products. In addition, this business requires better management of information systems known as a digital marketing. Our plan is to assist Sae Garden Farm SMEs to create a website, a mobile application and continue it with digital marketing. Our first stage will be to build a website followed by building an Android-based application (Mobile App) and it will be combined with strong Digital Marketing which can later be continuously developed by Sae Garden Farm SMEs. We hope that in the future various Hydroponic communities throughout Greater Bandung can work together so that through this community development activity, many people will benefit in the middle of the Pandemic of Covid-19.

Seismic Hazard Zonation in Gedebage Future Development in Bandung City Using HVSR Inversion

Greater Bandung, the largest economic growth corridor in Indonesia after Jabodetabek, is sitting on the Bandung basin. This deep sedimentary basin is situated just 12 km south of the active Lembang fault. Gedebage is an area intended to be the new economic and business center located in the easternmost of Bandung. The research aims to identify the vulnerability of Gedebage area against seismic ground motions. The area's morphology is dominated by a flat area with 0 - 8% of slope and predominantly composed of an old lake deposit. Topography, including basement morphology, sediment thickness, and physical properties, plays a great role in escalating/de-escalating seismic ground motions. A specific morphology may trap and prolong seismic shaking. Furthermore, stiffness and bedrock depth are instrumental in passing the spectral ground motions to the surface. The HVSR inversion method is applied to map subsurface conditions that successfully applied in Palu and its surrounding area. The research shows that Gedebage areas are vulnerable to the seismic hazard, referring to the shear wave velocity (Vs30) distribution and seismic hazard micro zonation maps. The discussion of the research findings is useful for future infrastructure development in the research area. The area is categorized as soft soil and medium soil classes, and it has a high vulnerability for destruction if there is an earthquake. The area should be cleared from vital infrastructures such as government buildings, schools, or hospitals.

Current ability of 137Cs radionuclear fallout method for erosion assessment in Indonesia

Soil erosion is one of the most important natural resource management problems in watershed zone that affects soil quality, reduce soil nutrient content and further may harms food resilience. Erosion produced sediment is the biggest pollutant of surface water, contributes further to eutrophication and affecting water quality. Radionuclide Fallout (RNF) have been developed by Unesco to measure erosion qualitatively using isotope trace found in soils surface originated nuclear bomb test. This method has been applied in the Region of Sembalun at Lombok island and Kertasari at Greater Bandung in 2017. Grasslands of Mt Rinjani and Mt. Papandayan have been chosen as the reference sites. Kertasari area possess steeper slopes and receive more rainfall than Sembalun Area. The soil profiles at the expected reference on Mt. Papandayan contain less 137Cs radioactivity than those of Mt. Rinjani. Both study area represents locations where the activity of 137Cs was undetected due to the topsoil removal by high rate of erosion process. Undetected 137Cs radiation is more widespread in Kertasari than in Sembalun area. 137Cs RNF methods for quantitative assessments of erosion seems possess the limitation for the utilization in the steeply sloping region with high soil erodibility due to the presence of undetected radiation area. The method will still useful to be applied in a more flat area for both erosion and sedimentation study.

The institutionalisation process of Transit Oriented Development practices for peri-urban development in Indonesia: Actor network perspective

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has increasingly become a popular concept for peri-urban developments in Indonesia. It offers regeneration approaches to create compact, mixed-use, and walking-distance public transit areas that promote more effective land-use growth and efficient public transport uses towards sustainable environment in urban peripheries. This paper focuses on the institutionalisation of TOD peri-urban through analysis of stakeholder interactions in TOD peri urban. Interpretations of stakeholder interactions are observed from a case study of the establishment of TOD planning standard from two TOD peri-urban plans, Gedebage (Greater Bandung) and Purabaya (Greater Surabaya). Applying the logic of Actor Network Theory (ANT), this paper discusses emerging networks, key actors, intermediaries, and their interaction process. Data and information are produced from triangulation of semi-structured interviews and documentary reviews. The conclusion provides dynamic stakeholder interaction maps for TOD peri-urban institutions, which identify strong engagements of cross-boundary transportation agencies, planning agencies, public transport operators, the state government, and property developers.

Perceptions of overweight by primary carers (mothers/grandmothers) of under five and elementary school-aged children in Bandung, Indonesia: a qualitative study

BackgroundThe prevalence of childhood overweight has increased in the past two decades in Indonesia. Even though prevalence is escalating, there is a lack of qualitative evidence to assist in the design and implementation of strategies to tackle this issue. This study aimed to explore the view of primary carers (mothers and grandmothers) from different socio-economic-status groups, on childhood overweight in the Greater Bandung Area, Indonesia.MethodsWe conducted 12 focus groups discussions with a total of 94 carers of under-five and 7–12 years children, from June to October 2016. We used the grounded theory approach in our analysis.ResultsThree main categories emerged: the concept of overweight, factors contributing to overweight, and awareness and feelings towards overweight children. Most carers from all SES groups defined overweight subjectively, while a few from the low SES group defined it objectively. Most carers from low and high SES groups agreed with the concept “chubbier is healthier”. All carers had some knowledge of the main factors that contribute to childhood overweight: dietary factors, activity levels and sedentary behavior, and hereditary factors. Carers from all SES groups described similar characteristics of overweight; carers from low and intermediate SES groups had mixed feelings while all high SES carers have negative feelings about overweight children, mostly related to stigma. However, carers who identified their own children as being overweight expressed sensitivity about this weight status, especially their physical abilities. Almost all carers knew their children’s current weight while less than two thirds knew their children’s height.ConclusionsThere are several policy implications. Firstly, health-related knowledge of the primary carers is of great importance and needs augmenting. To increase that knowledge, there is a role for front-line health practitioners (doctors/midwives/nurses) to be more active in educating the community. Secondly, simpler and more effective ways to disseminate healthy lifestyle messages to carers is required. Thirdly, by placing more emphasis on carers monitoring their children’s growth may encourage carers to take steps to keep their children in the healthy weight and height ranges. Fourthly, the Department of Education may need to improve the quality and quantity of physical activity in schools.
