Assessing urban waterfront public space service quality using importance performance analysis (IPA)

The urge for urban public space evolved in increasingly dense cities. Tirtonadi Dam Park is a waterfront-designed urban park located on Bengawan Solo riverbank area. To support the activities, adequate infrastructure must be provided. The objective of this study was to assess Tirtonadi Dam Park's service quality as an urban public space and suggest methods to improve it to promote local communities' economic development. The variables—infrastructure, access & linkage, comfort & images, use & activity—were evaluated and compiled into 16 indicators. Based on user perceptions, Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) was employed to determine the performance and importance levels of predetermined variables. The findings demonstrated that vegetation, infrastructure for the disabled, and drainage and water systems all dropped into the "concentrate here" quadrant, necessitating further development to enhance quality and add more supporting facilities. Furthermore, the quality of security, environmental cleanliness, pedestrian paths, recreational facilities, informal sectors, lighting facilities, and transportation lies in the “keep up the good work” quadrant so that they should be maintained. Enhancing waterfront facilities with leisurely and recreational features can increase the number of visitors. Improving urban areas and incorporating the surrounding communities in all phases of development will be crucial, with the potential to enhance their economic circumstances.

Development of eco-friendly brake pads using industrial and agro-waste materials

There has been an increase in research over the past decades into the use of environmentally friendly materials in brake pads, such as natural fibres. This is due to the possibility that natural fibbers could serve as an alternative to the noxious asbestos materials in tribological applications like brake pads. As a result, utilizing the compacting mould technique, an asbestos-free friction material was developed using agricultural waste (coconut shell and oil bean stalk) as a filler element, alongside aluminium dross, metal chip industrial wastes and carbon black. The filler material considered had particles as small as 300 μm, with epoxy resin serving as the binding agent. Using these waste materials can help reduce environmental pollution and the risk to animal and plant life (Preeti et al., Pharma Innov J 7:94–102, 2018; Sajib, A Study on the effects of environmental pollution on human life in the riverbank area of Barishal City Corporation (Kirtankhola River), 2021). This research aimed to replace asbestos in brake pads due to its carcinogenic nature, reducing the health risks associated with manufacturing and using these brake pads. The brake pad materials were cast and produced using square wooden moulds. Four samples were created, comprising the same mixing ratio but varying in reinforcement fibre and particle size, with epoxy resin used as the matrix. Various tests were conducted on these samples, including a water absorption test, specific gravity test, compressive strength test, hardness test, thermal conductivity, SEM and EDX. The developed brake pads underwent microscopic characterization and structural examination using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) fitted with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for elemental characterization. Thermal conductivity was obtained using automated Lee’s Disc apparatus. Comprehensive strength analysis was conducted using a universal testing machine (UTM).The specific gravity tests yielded values for the developed composites in the range of 1.136–1.257, while the commercial brake pad had a value of 2.081, indicating that the produced samples were lighter and less dense. The water absorptivity of the developed samples ranged from 0.95 to 2.174%, while the commercial brake pad had a value of 1.031%. For the hardness tests, at three different loads, the developed values ranged from 16.4HV3 to 19.4 HV3; 26.4HV30 to 28.7HV30; and 25.5HV100 to 29.6HV100, while the commercial brake pad had values of 16.5HV3, 28.4HV30 and 28.2HV100.Sample C (212 μm: coconut shell powder) exhibited the most desirable characteristics with five values: water absorptivity 0.95, compressive strength 120.5 MPa, hardness value 29.6 HV100, wear resistance 0.099 mm/mm3, specific wear rate 1.00 mm3/Nm. The outstanding values were attributed to the chemical composition, particle sizes and good interfacial bonding of the microstructure.The developed brake pads performed favourably when compared with the existing commercial brake pads. The chemical tests showed that the natural fibres bonded well with the epoxy matrix. The thermal and mechanical tests yielded comparable results with the values obtained from the commercial brake pads. Therefore, the developed materials for brake pads can be considered suitable replacements for asbestos brake pads.

Vegetation Analysis on the Upper Mahakam River Border

Vegetation analysis on the upper Mahakam river border. The Mahakam River Basin (DAS) is very wide, reaching 7.724.300 Ha. The condition of the vegetation in the Mahakam watershed continues to change due to the development of plantations, mining, and settlements. On the other hand, efforts to maintain biological resources from the diversity of vegetation are needed to protect against extinction. Remote sensing data can be used to differentiate between primary and secondary vegetation economically. However, it has limitations for detecting vegetation composition and the number of individuals per unit area. Therefore, field surveys in the context of conducting vegetation analysis are still needed to complement remote sensing data. This study aims to analyze the vegetation in each growth phase, namely the seedling, sapling, pole, and tree phases on the Mahakam riverbank. The method used is to make observation plots of 13 plots for each growth phase. Plots of 2 x 2 m2 for seedling observation, 5 x 5 m2 for sapling level, 10 x 10 m2 for pole level, and 20 x 20 m2 for tree level observation. Based on data analysis, the seedling stage consisted of 30 species, the average number of stems was 25576.9 per ha, the species diversity index was 1.371, and the highest important value index was 21.8% of Coffea robusta. There were 17 species of saplings, an average number of 4,092.3 stems per hectare, a diversity index of 1,118, and the highest important value index of 39.5% from Theobroma cacao. The pole level contained 16 species, the average number of stems was 1023.1 per hectare, the diversity index was 1.138, and the highest interest index was 23.7% for Paraserianthes falcataria. The tree level consists of 30 species. The average number of stems is 255.8 per hectare, the diversity index is 1.282, and the highest important value index is 54.9% of Durio zibethinus. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that most of the vegetation in the Mahakam riverbank area is former fields or agricultural activities.

Evaluation of Soil Loss and Identification of Dominant Factors in the Semi-Arid Region Using GIS: A Case of Bhavnagar District, Gujarat, India

Abstract: The loss of valuable topsoil worldwide has led to agricultural land degradation and a reduction in crop yields. Soil erosion is mainly caused by both natural phenomena and human interference with the ecosystem. The efficiency of spatial information systems like GIS and RS has been effectively developed. From 2015 to 2021, soil loss estimation was conducted using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model, with remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) assistance. We have produced the RUSLE model's five essential potential parameters (R*K*LS*C*P) pixel-by-pixel. We generated the R factor map through the Indian Meteorological Department's (IMD) daily rainfall data, and the K factor map using the FAO's digital soil series global map. For the LS-factor map, we used the digital elevation model data (DEM) of SRTM. Landsat 8 dataset was used to generate LULC, and NDVI maps to derive C and P factors. The highest mean annual soil loss in 2021 was estimated to be 209.16 tons per hectare per year. The riverbank area of the Shetruji River near Palitana Taluka in this district had an extremely high risk of soil loss. The coastal area from Bhavnagar to Dholera was classified as a high and very high-risk area for soil loss, which contained barren land. The results revealed that barren land is the most susceptible to soil erosion. As per statistical analysis, the C factor is the dominant factor in this region which is most influential in soil erosion. The soil erosion maps from this study will provide policymakers with the necessary information to implement suitable conservation measures in this region.

Study of The Impact of The Incompatibility of Space Utilization In The Krukut River

The emergence of development on riverbanks has raised environmental problems in Indonesia, such as flooding, one of which is in the Krukut River Basin which crosses the province of DKI Jakarta. The land use change around the Krukut River causes narrowing and disrupts the absorption of rainwater and triggers sedimentation. This study aims to identify risks in the Krukut riverbank area based on the variable area of land use mismatch, population density, frequency and depth of flooding, volume of waste production, availability of waste management for water bodies and waste banks. The method used in this research is to load the score. Based on this research, the priority location is Cipedak Village, Jagakarsa District. It can be seen that at this location there is a narrowing and narrowing of the Krukut watershed. To anticipate this, normalization and construction of plaster can be carried around the banks of the Krukut watershed in the area.

Accuracy of Computer Vision Hough Line Transform for Water Level Measurement

Floods are natural disasters that often occur in countries with high rainfall, such as Indonesia. Floods occur due to sudden changes in water level; therefore, the dam cannot withstand the increase in water causing water to overflow into the riverbank area. As a result of this issue, a system was created that can be used to provide information about river water levels. This system relies on computer vision to program the camera to monitor the water level through image processing. Image processing allows the camera to process the image of the water surface detected at the ditch’s edge. The edge detection result is used as a water level detector using the Hough line transform, which generates a line to indicate the water level. The height detected by image processing differs from the actual height on the detected surface. The minimum and maximum error reading for both methods recorded in this experiment is 0,8 % and 16,67 %, respectively
