Assessment of Kalimantan Coal Ash Properties and Potential as Sustainable Construction Material

This study analyzes the physical and chemical characteristics of Fly Ash and Bottom Ash (FABA) from Kalimantan's coal-fired power plants to assess their effectiveness and potential as sustainable construction materials. The characterization was conducted through a series of tests following ASTM C311 standards, while the mechanical properties of mortars incorporating Fly Ash (FA) were evaluated following ASTM C618 standards. The results indicate that all FA samples meet the ASTM C618 Fineness requirements, with particle sizes below 45 μm, confirming their suitability as pozzolanic materials. In contrast, Bottom Ash (BA) samples do not meet the Fineness standard but still show potential for use in other construction applications. Chemical analysis utilizing X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) further supports the potential use of FABA from Kalimantan, revealing a high content of reactive oxides, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, which justify the classification as Class F for PLTU Asam-Asam (AA) and PLTU Bengkayang (BK), and the classification as Class C for PLTU Pulang Pisau (PP). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis also validates the high silica (SiO2) content and low levels of deleterious compounds. Additionally, the mechanical properties confirm the effectiveness of FA from PLTU AA with a Strength Activity Index (SAI) value exceeding 100%. The findings of this research provide strong evidence for the potential of Kalimantan FABA as a sustainable material while contributing to enhanced compressive strength and durability in concrete application.

Analysis of the Availability and Utilization of Green Open Space (GOS) in Kahayan Hilir Subdistrict, Pulang Pisau Regency Using the DPSIR Approach

This study aims to analyze the availability and utilization of Green Open Space (GOS) in Kahayan Hilir Subdistrict, Pulang Pisau Regency, utilizing the DPSIR (Driving Forces, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses) approach and the Indonesian Green Blue Index (IHBI) model. This research addresses the growing demand for adequate GOS due to rapid urbanization and economic development. The study identifies the driving forces behind GOS changes, pressures arising from land conversion and population growth, the current state of GOS, and the public's perception of GOS utilization. Data collection involved interviews with stakeholders, systematic field observations, and a comprehensive analysis of regional planning documents. The results indicate that the availability of GOS in Kahayan Hilir is still below government standards, resulting in environmental issues such as declining air quality, biodiversity loss, and increased urban heat island effects. Public perception indicates an awareness of the importance of GOS for health and recreation, although accessibility and facilities remain limited. This study recommends increasing both the quantity and quality of GOS through stricter policies, community participation, and public-private partnerships to support environmental quality and the well-being of residents in Kahayan Hilir Subdistrict.

The generalized STAR modelling with three-dimensional of spatial weight matrix in predicting the Indonesia peatland’s water level

The release rate of CO2 gas can be influenced by peatlands’ physical properties, such as water level and soil moisture, and rainfall. To anticipate the unstable condition which is when the peatland emit more carbon, we developed the Generalized Space Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) model in predicting these physical properties for the following weeks. As the innovation in modelling, the spatial weight matrix was based on three-dimensional coordinates with a modification on the height factor. The data we used are real-time data of water level on the peatlands in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province from 20 February 2021 to 18 March 2023. We then used Ordinary Kriging interpolation on the prediction results to create contour maps on different dates. There were empty data on several dates, especially from 24 March until 3 August 2022. To fill the empty data, we used linear interpolation and then we added white noise to the interpolation results. From the data, the water level has a downward trend pattern from around November to September and an upward trend pattern from October to November. Furthermore, we found that the best model for water level was GSTAR (2;0.1) with a modified matrix a=0.1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$a=0.1$$\\end{document} and b=1.1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$b=1.1$$\\end{document}. Based on the predicted water level, there is a risk of changes in the properties of the peatlands in several areas in Pulang Pisau Regency.

Modeling the Dynamics of Forest Fires: A Vector Autoregressive Approach Across Three Fire Classifications

The problem of forest fires is one that, with each passing year, gets more difficult to mitigate. A significant number of people will be affected by this case, particularly in terms of their health. The need for targeted initiatives must be balanced. Look at the forecasts for the number of forest fires expected to occur in the following period. Cases of forest fires reported to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry are categorized into three distinct categories: high, medium, and low. In addition to future estimates, it is reasonable to anticipate that classifications will also affect one another. The vector autoregressive (VAR) model is a statistical tool that may produce future projections based on three categories of forest fires in a specific period. This information can be utilized to make predictions. The aim of the study was to model 3 classifications of forest fire cases using the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. The data utilized is a summary of the number of forest fire cases in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan, categorized as low, medium, and high, from January 2013 to March 2024. During this study, the VAR modelling process was broken down into three primary stages: order identification (the findings that were achieved were VAR(4)), parameter estimation, and diagnostic testing (VAR(4) was declared to fulfil the requirements for the diagnostic test). It is possible to generate a predicted value for the subsequent three times based on these stages, which may be considered when calculating the proper amount of effort to put forward. The accuracy of forest fire case modeling utilizing the VAR(4) model is 70.23%. Moreover, the predictive outcomes for each categorization indicate a rise in medium and low-level forest fires compared to previous data, although the contrary is observed for high-level forest fire incidents.

This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and the role of posyandu cadres in achieving complete basic immunization in the working area of Puskesmas Bahaur Hilir, Pulang Pisau District. Method: This research is a correlational study with a quantitative method using a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed was total sampling, with 65 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The data analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and the role of cadres, with a significance value (p-value) of 0.000 < 0.05 and a strong correlation coefficient of 0.642. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge and the role of cadres, with a strong correlation coefficient. It is recommended that posyandu cadres enhance their knowledge and active participation in posyandu activities and communicate information to the community to improve health outcomes.

Identification of the Application of Midwifery Care Documentation by Midwives in RSUD Pulang Pisau

Midwifery documentation is important because it serves as legal evidence in health care, helping to enforce accountability and liability related to patient care. It also serves as a source of information about the patient's health status and an instrument of protection for patients and midwives. The use of standardized documentation methods such as SOAP has significant benefits in organizing midwives' thought processes, but there are still midwives who have not adopted it. Further efforts are needed to improve understanding and application of documentation standards in midwifery practice. Identifying Integrated Patient Progress Notes by Midwives at Pulang Pisau Regional Hospital in 2023. This study used a descriptive method that describes integrated patient development records by midwives at Pulang Pisau Regional Hospital. The samples in this study were 45 midwives who were in the delivery room, postpartum room and obstetric clinic room. Based on research from 45 midwives, the majority were 21-40 years old, 14 midwives (31.1%) had DIV Midwifery and S1 Midwifery education, 32 midwives (71.1%) had a working period of 6-10 years. 27 respondents (60%) of the completeness of integrated patient progress notes by midwives in the delivery room, postpartum room and obstetric clinic room of Pulang Pisau Hospital were incomplete, and as many as 18 respondents (40%) with complete progress notes. The majority of integrated patient progress notes made by midwives in the labor and delivery room, postpartum room, and obstetric clinic room of Pulang Pisau Regional Hospital were incomplete, with only a small proportion being complete. This suggests the need for improvement in the documentation process and integration of patient progress notes by midwives at RSUD Pulang Pisau.

Zero-Burning Policy in Land Preparation: Social Changes and Its Impact on Communities and the Environment

In Indonesia, forest and land fires have become an annual occurrence, with devastating effects. Following major fires in 2015, the government implemented policies restricting the use of fire in land preparation. This policy has affected the livelihoods of traditional farmers who still use fire for land clearing. The research aims to analyze the social changes that have occurred among traditional farmers as a result of the policy to ban burning in land preparation, and to assess its impact. The study was undertaken in Pulang Pisau Regency (Central Kalimantan) and Ogan Komering Ilir Regency (South Sumatera). Findings reveal two types of social transformation processes, namely, changes in agricultural commodities and changes in livelihoods. In general, fire policy restrictions in land preparation improved peatland ecosystems, but has had a detrimental impact on some rural communities living around peatlands. To anticipate these effects, the government promoted no-burn land preparation techniques and initiated a new paddy field construction scheme. However, both were less successful due to local resistance for their unsuitability in the local context.

The Impact of Government Regulations on Forest Fires on the Decline in Livelihoods of Residents in Pulang Pisau

Forest fires in Indonesia, especially in peatlands such as Pulang Pisau, Central Kalimantan, are a serious problem that impacts the environment and the livelihoods of local communities that depend on agriculture and timber mining. The government has issued strict regulations based on Law Number 32 of 2009, Law Number 41 of 1999, and Government Regulation Number 10 of 2010 to prohibit forest burning to protect the environment. However, the implementation of these regulations often does not take into account local conditions, leading to a decline in livelihoods, poverty, and population migration. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the impact of government regulations on forest fires and livelihood decline in Pulang Pisau. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study show that the regulation limits the traditional practices of communities in managing land, causing a decrease in income and increasing poverty. Community adaptation to these regulations includes diversification of income sources, training, use of technology, and increased community cooperation. The study recommends increased support through proper training, access to environmentally friendly agricultural technologies, and better coordination between central and local governments. A holistic approach is needed to balance environmental protection and the economic well-being of the community. Effective regulatory implementation and ongoing support are expected to reduce forest fires without sacrificing the livelihoods of local communities.

Social Inclusion and Empowerment: Developing Local Potential in Bahu Palawa Village of Pulang Pisau Regency of Central Kalimantan Province

Government policy on village funds seeks to encourage village independence. Village independence can focus on development based on local potential. Studies on local potential-based village development have not yet explored the issues of social inclusion and community empowerment. This research analyzes the approach to social inclusion and community empowerment in developing local potential in Bahu Palawa Village. Social inclusion and community empowerment are important to study because these two aspects play a role in fostering more equitable, participatory, and sustainable development. This study uses Bennett’s theoretical framework (2003) regarding social inclusion and community empowerment. This study uses a qualitative approach using three data collection techniques: observation, in-depth interviews, and document and literature study. Research findings show that the Bahu Palawa Village Government has tried to foster social inclusion and community empowerment in developing local potential. Social inclusion and community empowerment have not been running optimally due to a lack of access to basic services, awareness and knowledge, limited infrastructure, economic inequality, and the ineffectiveness of community empowerment programs. This condition inhibits citizen participation and prevents them from being fully involved in village development. In conclusion, developing local potential requires holistic social inclusion and empowerment development. This can be done through collaboration with a focus on increasing local capacity.

Socio-Cultural Issues In Agricultural Modernization: A Case Study of the Food Estate Program in Pulang Pisau Regency

The food estate program located in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, focuses on the development of the agricultural sector. However, research using a qualitative approach has found that the increase in rice production in Pulang Pisau Regency, as an outlying area, is inversely proportional to the high price of rice in Palangkaraya City, the core or central area of activities in Central Kalimantan Province. This occurs because the rice production in Pulang Pisau Regency is directly bought by traders, who generally come from South Kalimantan. The rice is then processed in South Kalimantan and resold in the form of premium quality rice to Palangkaraya City. The Dayak culture of the indigenous population of Central Kalimantan, which lacks trading culture, provides an opportunity for the Banjar people, who have long been known as traders. As a result, although rice production in Pulang Pisau Regency increases, the price of rice remains high in Palangkaraya City due to the long production and distribution costs.

Exploring Determinants of Early Marriage Among Adolescent Girls in Banama Tingang, Indonesia

The number of early marriages in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, has increased yearly. According to data from the Indonesian Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and Office of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil), 14,540 couples married early between 2017 and 2021. This problem is caused by several factors, including teenagers' knowledge, parents' education, parents' income, parents' perceptions, and support from parents and peers. This research analyzes factors related to early marriage in Banama Tingang District, Pulang Pisau Regency. This quantitative study used a case-control design conducted in Banama Tingang District, Pulang Pisau Regency, in November 2022. The sample was determined using convenience or accidental sampling methods with 200 teenagers. The results of the Chi-Square analysis showed significant associations between early marriage and parental education (p=0.000) and parental income (p=0.022) but not with adolescent knowledge (p=1.000), parental perception (p=0.173), or parental and peer support (p=0.252). Logistic regression analysis revealed that parental education was the most dominant variable significantly associated with early marriage (p=0.000, Exp B=3.169). There was no significant relationship between adolescent knowledge, parental perception, or support from parents and peers with early marriage among adolescent girls in Banama Tingang District, Pulang Pisau Regency. In conclusion, parental education and income were found to be associated with the incidence of early marriage among young women in Banama Tingang District, Pulang Pisau Regency, with parental education being the most dominant factor.

Home garden mixed cropping practice by communities living on peatland in household’s income resilience and climate adaptation

Land use with mixed crop cultivation practices, or agroforestry, is currently important for small farmers because it provides economic resilience and ecosystem-based solutions for climate change adaptation. This research is to examine the role of agroforestry in the homegarden of communities living on peatlands in supporting household economic resilience and the impact of climate change on their livelihoods. In-depth interviews using questionnaires and field observations were carried out for data collection. The research results show that agroforestry based on fruit plants such as Durio kutejensis, Artocarpus champeden, Lansium domesticum, and Parkia speciosa is found in Pulang Pisau Regency, while the mixed crop pattern of Pinang catechu, Coffea liberica, and Cocos nucifera is found in West Tanjung Jabung Regency. This type of land use provides economic stability for farming households on peatlands. Farmer experience and knowledge, species preferences, markets, land ownership, and labor availability are considered in implementing mixed cropping systems. Access to credit and capital and increasing farmers’ abilities during harvest and post-harvest are really needed by farmers. Therefore, support from various stakeholders and pro-farmer policies is needed so that mixed cropping systems can improve the livelihoods of small farmers and reduce their vulnerability to climate change.
