Handwashing with soap training for elementary school children along the Martapura riverbank

Handwashing with soap, when practiced correctly, is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of fecal-oral and other diseases among children. One of the national elementary school health programs is handwashing with soap (CTPS). Therefore, the purpose of this community service activity is to improve the handwashing skills of elementary school children living near the Martapura River. The methods used were lectures with question-and-answer sessions, demonstrations, focus group discussions, and practice. The results of this activity showed an increase in understanding and skills related to CTPS, so that children know the benefits and procedures.

The Influence of Geographical Conditions on Flood Disasters in Tunggul Irang Ilir Village

Natural disasters such as floods can be caused by both natural and non-natural factors, such as human activities. The convergence of human activities, static environmental conditions, and dynamic natural phenomena can result in flooding. Static natural elements (topography, rivers, and geographical conditions) and dynamic natural factors (rainfall, tidal currents, land subsidence, and river sedimentation) are the causes of flooding disasters. Tunggul Irang Ilir Village is a village located in the Martapura District of Banjar Regency that experiences flooding every year. It is known that the floods in Tunggul Irang Ilir Village involve several factors, primarily due to the village's geographic conditions, making the area prone to flooding disasters. Therefore, research is conducted on the geographical conditions' impact on flooding in Tunggul Irang Ilir Village to understand the village's geographical conditions and their influence on the floods that occur annually. Using a qualitative descriptive research method, data is collected through documentation, interviews, and observation. Data analysis involves stages such as data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification. This research employs data triangulation, technique triangulation, and time triangulation to test validity. The results of the research indicate that geographic conditions, including the village's location, climate, weather, low land topography, and Martapura River overflow, are factors causing floods in Tunggul Irang Ilir Village.

Juridical Analysis of the Implementation of the Floating Toilet Eradication Program in Martapura River: Case Study of the South Kalimantan Provincial Government

This research evaluates the efforts of the South Kalimantan Provincial Government in eliminating floating latrines in the Martapura River. A normative approach is employed, examining laws, government regulations, and local policies underpinning the floating latrine eradication program, as well as analyzing its implementation and impact on the environment. The prevalent use of floating latrines by the community has led to river water pollution and exacerbated sanitation conditions along riverbank settlements. The innovative "Gebrak’s" program initiated by the Banjar Regency since 2016 aims to improve sanitation and public health by eliminating floating latrines. However, until 2023, although the program successfully removed over a thousand floating latrines, paradoxically, some residents in the area have reconstructed them. This has resulted in approximately 8,000 floating latrines still existing in South Kalimantan, posing a significant challenge to achieving Healthy City status and Open Defecation Free (ODF) status by 2025. Hence, collaboration between the government, the community, and relevant government agencies is crucial to improving environmental quality and public health in riverbank areas.

Flood Risk Perception and Adaptation in Martapura River

Indonesian river basin towns face flood disasters that damage lives, infrastructure, and socioeconomic stability. Recent flood frequency and intensity have increased in the Martapura River settlements in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. This study examines flood risk perception and adaptation measures. The study analyzes flood risk perception, adaption strategies, and factors affecting them among residents. The 2023 mixed-method study combined quantitative surveys (n=358) and qualitative interviews (n=25) in five sub-districts over six months. The study found that previous flood experience was the best predictor of high-risk perception and adaptation strategies across geographic and socioeconomic boundaries. The adaption options ranged from structural changes to community-based efforts. Local government announcements and social media were primary sources, but environmental knowledge was low. Cultural linkages to the river and economic limits shaped adaptation. These findings highlight the necessity for personalized risk communication, improved early warning systems, and local expertise in modern flood control. The work adds to the knowledge on community resilience in flood-prone developing nations and informs policymakers and disaster managers. Future research should focus on long-term climate change adaptation techniques and novel ways to overcome economic barriers to individual and community flood resilience.

The Effectiveness of The Handwashing Program with Soap (CTPS) In Preventing E. Coli Contamination on Elementary School Student, West Martapura South Kalimantan

Martapura river had been discovered of indicators of microbial contamination of drinking water, namely total coliform and E coli which are harmful to health. CTPS program for elementary schools in West Martapura sub-district has been going for long time to prevent disease. Tihis study aimed to know the difference in the effectiveness of using Martapura river water for CTPS in elementary school children in Martapura Barat District to preventing E. Coli contamination. The research method used the true experiment method with a posttest only control group design research design. The research group named group (P1) CTPS using processed Martapura river water, group with hand washing soap (P2) CTPS using Martapura river water without being processed and group (K) CTPS with PDAM water . The research subjects were18 elementary student selected by simple random sampling technique. The object study was the observation of the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria which were found from the hand swabs of elementary school children in West Martapura sub-district whose schools had treated water facilities and did not have treated water facilities. Also taking palm swabs for the research subjects, a quality test for PDAM water, Martapura river water and processed river water at the three elementary schools was carried out and examined at the Banjarbaru BBTKL-PPB Laboratory. The results showed that for CTPS water samples from PDAM water sources only counted 1 CFU E coli/100 ml, while CTPS water from the Martapura River and PAMSIMAS the number of E. coli colonies was > 200 CFU/100 ml. For all samples of palm swabs from the elementary school students, all results were negative for E. Coli CFU / cm2. The conclusion is that there is no difference in the effectiveness of using Martapura River water, both treated and untreated, in the CTPS program in reducing E.Coli numbers.

PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH SERBUK GERGAJIAN KAYU ULIN (Eusideroxylon zwageri T & B) UNTUK MENURUNKAN KADAR FECAL COLIFORM AIR SUNGAI

Martapura river water is included in categories that have a fairly high bacterial content, which is 21,333 colonies/100 ml. The optimal value of water quality standards to be met with water treatment businesses is the use of ironwood sawdust waste. Bacteria in water attach most of their lives to suspension particles, so microscopic organisms are also separated or filtered. The purpose of this study was to analyze fecal coliform in river water and analyze the volume of ironwood sawdust to reduce fecal coliform levels in river water. Martapura river water contains the highest fecal 1,800MPN/100ml and the lowest 1,600MPN/100 ml, according to the Minister of the Republic of Indonesia No. 22 of 2021 concerning the implementation of environmental protection and management related to standards, including category two which is used as water tourism facilities/infrastructure, freshwater fish farming, animal husbandry, plant irrigation and other activities requiring the same water quality and use. Ironwood sawdust as much as 25% or 90 grams proved most effective to be used to reduce fecal levels with an average value on the first day of 1,650 MPN/100ml and on the third day with treatment carried out up to indigo 350 MPN/100ml, so that the difference reached a value of 1,300 MPN/100ml.

Identification of microplastic types in the Martapura River's water, sediment, and fish using FTIR (Case Study: Loktangga Village and Teluk Muara Kelayan) South Kalimantan

Microplastics are fragments of plastic less than 5 mm in size, produced either by the breakdown of plastic waste or by using tiny pieces of plastic. The study aimed to classify the different kinds of microplastics found in the Martapura River's water, sediment, and fish. Sedgewick rafter and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used for this study. This study's findings suggest a dissimilar distribution of microplastics between the two villages of Loktangga and Teluk Muara Kelayan. Nylon was found to be the most common type of microplastic in Lok Tangga Village. Meanwhile, polystyrene and polycarbonate were found to be the most common types of microplastics in Teluk Muara Kelayan. The dispersed nature of the microplastic pollution point to distinct regional origins or unique transport and deposition mechanisms. Knowing the specific types of microplastics found in a given area helps determine where they came from and develop effective solutions. More studies may be needed to pinpoint the precise causes and assess their effects on aquatic life and human health.

Geometric Modeling of River Estuary to Support Normalization Program of Veteran River, Banjarmasin City

The city of Banjarmasin is in fact included in the tidal water zone. The Veteran River is one of the canals made by the Dutch to prevent flooding. This research applies geomatics and survey technology to show actual conditions at the mouth of the Veteran River by modeling geometric shapes, using terrestrial and bathymetric measurement data and corrected Pleiades satellite imagery. Modeling using the Gridding method can create geometric shapes of land surface appearances in 3 dimensions. The modeling results show that the condition of the Veteran river body is narrowing at a distance of 58 meters from the edge of the Martapura River with a width of up to 8 meters, and at a distance of 78 meters to 145 meters the width of the river body only reaches 3 meters. The shallowest point reaches (-) 0.074 meters at the mouth of the Veteran River, and the deepest point reaches (-) 13,311 meters in the Martapura River area. The basic condition of the cross section of the Veteran River estuary shows a relatively flat slope level. This shows a poor natural drainage system, where conditions like this can affect the volume of water flow in the Veteran River

Model Komunikasi Lingkungan Program Sungai Martapura Asri di Kabupaten Banjar

The Martapura River has an important role for the Banjar people (the largest tribe in South Kalimantan). Rivers, which generally function as residential and trading areas, cannot be avoided from pollution. Waste that is classified into two, namely domestic waste and non-domestic waste, not only has a negative impact on environmental sustainability, but is also very hazardous to health. As an effort to restore and preserve the Martapura River. The Provincial Government of South Kalimantan through the Environmental Service (DLH) created the Martapura Asri (Safe, Clean, Friendly, Beautiful) River program. Based on this, this study aims to analyze the implementation and create an environmental communication model for the ASRI Martaoura River program in Banjar Regency. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The research uses environmental communication theory and stakeholder theory. The results of the research show that the implementation of environmental communication in the ASRI Martapura River program is good, various activities carried out by DLH have fulfilled the 7 elements of environmental communication, but the implementation has not been carried out optimally. Starting from the role of stakeholders, the use and involvement of the media in program implementation, regulations to support program implementation so that it can run optimally, and related to representation of program implementation. From the results of this study it was also possible to create a communication model that was convergent and collaborative in nature, with the same agreement (mutual understanding), namely the ASRI Martapura River program, which was later called the ASRI Martapura River Environmental Communication Model.

DESAIN AREA DERMAGA APUNG SEBAGAI PENUNJANG WISATA DI BANUA ANYAR BANJARMASIN

The geographical location of the Martapura river basin in Banua Anyar Village is quite strategic, moreover, this area is one of the tourist areas in Banjarmasin which is also the target of developing a tourist area by the South Kalimantan Environmental Service in the Martapura Asri River program. However, currently, there is a lack of supervision and maintenance, resulting in many river problems and public facilities that are not functioning properly in the culinary tourism area on the Martapura River. Existing facilities are considered not yet available to solve river problems and do not meet the needs of visitors so the design of tourist river support facilities is to meet the needs of visitors. Writing aims to design a floating pier at the location of the river access center on the banks of the Martapura river in Banua Anyar Village. Through direct observation surveys and documentation at the wharf design location as the basis for the design. The approach applied is an environmentally friendly architecture (Green Architecture) with eco enzymes as a mixed medium in river waste around the wharf. Designers are focused on the functional form and structural strength of disaster response in river watersheds so that they can more easily implement designs that are following river problems in the surrounding area. The results of this writing formulate the overlapping concept of the functions of public facilities between the problems of overcoming the density of land health insurance routes and environmental pollution due to residents' waste. The planned facilities include 1) a Floating Pier as an area of ​​the main function of the river bank; 2) Providing space facilities for washing clothes as well as environmentally friendly public toilets; 3) Developing and improving the area around the site by updating other facilities.

Flood Disaster Response Cadre Training in Keliling Benteng Ulu Village, Martapura Barat Sub-District

A flood is an event where land is submerged due to an increase in water volume. The flood that occurred in RT.05 Keliling Benteng Ulu Village was the worst compared to other RTs, because they live on the edge of the Martapura river and swamp environment. This service activity educates cadres to fulfill basic needs (clean water and sanitation needs, food clothing, temporary shelter, and health services) and provides leaflets/booklets on the stages of flood disaster management in fulfilling the basic needs of the community. The results of the pre and post test evaluation, cadres' knowledge has increased ≥ 80% regarding flood disaster response and about fulfilling the basic needs of flood disaster management independently (making freshwater fish jerky and instant ginger).

Manifestation of the batang banyu concept as a community communication experience

The existence of a unique concept of a river has significantly shaped the Banjarese community's relationship with it. This unique perspective, known as "Batang Banyu," portrays the river as a revered and integral aspect of their existence. The core objective of this research lies in comprehending the embodiment of the Batang Banyu concept within the regions of Martapura, Nagara, and Panggang in South Kalimantan. The research adopts a phenomenological approach, utilising an interpretive qualitative method to achieve this. The primary data is gathered through rigorous field observations and in-depth interviews with local inhabitants. The study's outcomes unveil that the Batang Banyu concept has evolved into a communicative experience, endowing the community with profound significance for the river. This significance finds manifestation in four fundamental aspects: first and foremost, the river serves as a livelihood for fishermen; secondly, it supports various livelihood-related endeavours; thirdly, it plays a crucial role in constructing homes; and lastly, it serves as a means of transportation. Remarkably, among the communities residing along the banks of the Nagara River and Panggang Lake, the Batang Banyu concept remains firmly entrenched. Conversely, for the people residing along the Martapura River, the Batang Banyu concept has been discarded, resulting in the unfortunate neglect and pollution of the Martapura River due to the accumulation of vast amounts of garbage.

Confirmation of Soil-Transmitted-Helminths Infection Prevalence by Kato-Katz Kit Diagnostic in Elementary School Children in West Martapura River Banks, South Kalimantan Indonesia

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infections are the most widespread neglected tropical diseases, primarily affecting morbidity in School Age Children (SAC). STH infection in SAC remains a public health problem in Martapura River Banks. Early and accurate STH detection is essential to determine an effective treatment for reducing morbidity. The Health Department recommends detecting STH infection by Kato Katz (KK) but in public health centers only by the direct method. This research objective is to confirm STH infection prevalence by Kato-Katz (KK) in elementary school children in West Martapura River Banks, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, against the direct method. The modified KK templates were developed from acrylic material. A total number of 253 children 7-12 years old in four West Martapura elementary schools were examined for STHs eggs using both microscopies modified KK against direct method by two trained laboratory technicians. STHs infection prevalence was 50 (19.76%), interpreted as low prevalence by direct and 78 (30.83%), moderate by KK. The concordance between both methods was significantly based on Cohen’s kappa (?=0.682). Even though the concordance of both methods was strong, the prevalence of STHs by modified KK was 30.08% higher than by Direct, which was only 20.33% positive. This study recommended using the KK for STHs diagnostic for prevalence measurement in low STHs infection.

Magnetic susceptibility and heavy metal contents in sediments of Riam Kiwa, Riam Kanan and Martapura rivers, Kalimantan Selatan province, Indonesia

Kalimantan Selatan is proud of the Martapura River's natural and cultural history. Martapura tributaries include Riam Kanan and Kiwa. The Martapura River is essential because it provides clean water and a livelihood for riverside residents. Human-caused river pollution grows with population density (also known as anthropogenic pollutants). This study characterizes surface sediment magnetic characteristics and heavy metal contents along the Riam Kanan, Riam Kiwa, and Martapura rivers. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the magnetic signal with respect to heavy metal contents found in surface sediments taken from rivers and to confirm the use of the rock magnetism method in environmental studies in the study area. Surface sediment samples were gathered and tested for magnetic, heavy metal, and mineralogical content. According to the findings, the pseudo-single domain (PSD) magnetite mineral predominates among the magnetic minerals that can be found in the surface sediments of the rivers Riam Kanan, Riam Kiwa, and Martapura. This substantially greater grain size may be due to magnetic particles produced by erosion along the river banks. The mass-specific magnetic susceptibility of surface sediments ranges from 103.11 to 1403.64 × 10−8 m3/kg, with an average value of 355.67 × 10−8 m3/kg due to the peatland environment. Magnetic susceptibility strongly negatively correlates with heavy contents like Cu, Zn, and Hg, according to Pearson correlation analysis. Due to this correlation, magnetic susceptibility may indicate heavy metal pollution in certain rivers. This current study demonstrates the novelty of the relationship between magnetic susceptibility and the contents of heavy metals in surface sediments from rivers in peatland and tropical environments by illustrating how the relationship affects the magnetic susceptibility of the sediments.

Heavy Metals and Cardiovascular Disease on Wetlands

Heavy metals are metal elements with a relatively high density compared to water. One area that is vulnerable to heavy metal pollution is the wetland environment. In South Kalimantan, an alkaline land area, pollution is mainly caused by mining activities, especially coal mining and oil palm plantation activities. The presence of heavy metals in the sediments of the Martapura River in South Kalimantan, which have passed the threshold for sediment contamination, includes Mn, Fe and Hg. The potential link between chronic heavy metal exposure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has several implications. Although the cardiovascular system is not usually viewed as the main target of heavy metal toxicity, imbalances in antioxidant protection mechanisms lead to oxidative stress in cells as a major effect of heavy metal exposure. Heavy metals can cause oxidative stress by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Heavy metals are associated with an increase in systemic inflammation. They can lead to impaired immune function and accumulation of immune complexes, causing CVD, including the uncontrolled release of inflammatory cytokines, kidney damage, and central nervous system stimulation. However, some research results are contradictory and say no relationship exists between heavy metals, such as mercury, and cardiovascular disease. The presence of heavy metals is still a health risk in wetlands. Metal content that crosses this threshold can be a cause or a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The effects of heavy metal content, such as mercury, on health, especially cardiovascular disease, are still not fully understood, requiring further investigation and research.

Effect of Nutrition on Microalgal Growth and Pollutant Decrease in Contaminated River

Microalgae have the ability to remove nutrients, heavy metals, and pollutants in the form of organic substances. Thus, it is expected that the use of microalgae can reduce pollutant levels in contaminated rivers. This study aims to reduce the concentration of pollutants in the Martapura river contaminated with industrial waste by utilizing microalgae. The maximum microalgal growth was obtained on day 4 with a nutritional variation of 5.25 mL as the concentration was 0.0115 g/L. The decrease in the level of pollutants occurred during the treatment with a decrease in sulfate levels from 18.9 mg/L to 11 mg/L. The amount of cadmium decreased from 0.0014 mg/L to an undetectable point. On the other hand, the iron content dropped quite drastically from 1.8 mg /L to 0.8 mg/L.

Identification of Bacterial Contamination in River Water Lulut in East Banjarmasin District

Many people use river water for washing, bathing and some even still use traditional latrines. River water is starting to get polluted because it is contaminated with waste, especially bacterial contamination that occurs as a result of various kinds of waste from community activities around the river. Bacterial pollution in rivers is very dangerous if river water is used continuously by the community. The city of Banjarmasin accounts for the most diarrhea in South Kalimantan. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of contamination and the type of coliform bacteria in the water of the Martapura River, Sungai Lulut Village, East Banjarmasin District. The method used in this research is descriptive observation. All samples were positive with an average MPN value of >1100 MPN/g and were classified as rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria (bacillus) and suspected specifics of Escherichia Coli. The test results showed that the waters of the Martapura river, Lulut River Village, East Banjarmasin District, were contaminated with coliform bacteria that had passed the threshold of class 1 (1000 MPN/g) river requirements.
