It is my great pleasure to grace all of your presence to the 6th ICSBE 2021 virtually. The International Conference on Sustainable Built Environment is bi-annual conference started from 2010 till now. At first, the 6th ICSBE was scheduled in 2020 however, the COVID-19 pandemic altered all of our life order including this conference that have to be postponed into 2021 and conducted virtually. This conference is held for 2 days in 19 – 20 October 2021 conducted in Faculty of Civil and Planning Engineering, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta-Indonesia. The main theme of the 6th ICSBE 2021 is “sustainable infrastructure and environment for the smart cities”. This theme was dedicated to discuss and deliver an implementable solution to address the issues of urban planning, transport systems, water and sanitation, waste management, disaster risk reduction, access information, education, and capacity-building. Therefore, it is important to mapping, planning and designing a sustainable environment and infrastructure that may greatly encounter and reduce those issues above to reach the sustainable development goals. Based on this, this conference focuses the following topics but not limited to livable rural and urban environment, green infrastructure, sustainable resource management, sustainable city and disaster management. In this conference, we received more than 80 papers at the beginning, which were covering in five topics. All the submitted papers were reviewed by peer to peer and double blind with two reviewers. The 6th ICSBE highly applied strong and accurate review process prior to be published in the IOP conference proceeding indexed Scopus in the series of Earth Environmental Science (EES). Finally, we are accepting 50 papers to be presented in this conference. The conference model is plenary session and parallel session which is held for 2 days. In the plenary session, there are 3 invited speakers for the 1st day and 2nd day. Each invited speakers are allowed to give presentation for 30 minutes. The question answer is given after all invited speakers finished their presentation for 40 minutes. In the parallel session, there are 5 subtopics delivered in 2 days. In the 1st day, 3 subtopics: Green Infrastructure, Sustainable Resource Management, and Sustainable City are delivered. There are 26 presenters delivered their paper. In the 2nd day, 2 subtopics: Disaster Management, and Livable Rural and Urban Environment, are delivered. There 24 presenters delivered their paper. Each presenters have 12 minutes to give presentation and 3 minutes for question and answer. All the conference presentation is delivered by using zoom technology belongs to Universitas Islam Indonesia with 1000 capacity of participants. This conference is participated by audience from Indonesia, Turkey, Japan, USA, Malaysia, and Germany.

One of the areas of human activity which exerts severe pressure on the environment is the management of urban landscape. Many of the modern Greek cities have experienced intense urbanization and expanding, but without the appropriate means to support them. The continuous expansion of the built environment, the degradation of living conditions due to pollution etc., are some of the factors that threaten the contemporary urban environment and hinder progress towards the sustainable city.In this paper an attempt is made to explore the problems and opportunities that a city of Northern Greece, Komotini, presents, with rich natural, historical and multicultural backgrounds. Through thorough planning and targeted development policies can be determined the appropriate actions in urban environment, in order to prevent and legalize some of the principles of the sustainable city.

Parkour is a new, and increasingly popular, sport in which individuals athletically and artistically negotiate obstacles found in the urban environment. In this article, I position parkour as a performance of masculinity involving spatial appropriation. Through ethnographic data I show how young men involved in the sport use the city (both the built environment and the people within it) as a structural resource for the construction and maintenance of gender identities. The focus of my research highlights the performance of gender as a spatialized process.

The urbanization process significantly reduced the permeability of land surfaces, which affected the changes of runoff characteristics and the relations in the hydrological cycle. In urban environments, the relationships within the hydrological cycle have changed in quantity, in particular: precipitation, air temperature, evaporation, and infiltration. By applying the green infrastructure (GI) to urban environments is beneficial for the water resources and the social community. GI has an effect on the improvement of ecological, economic, and social conditions. Using GI into urban areas increases the permeability of land surfaces, whereby decreasing surface runoff, and thus the frequency of urban floods. It also has a significant influence on the regulation of air quality, water purification, climate change impact, and the changes in the appearance of the urban environment. When planning and designing the GI, it is necessary to identify the type of GI and determine the size and location of the selected GI. Since each urban environment has its own characteristics, it is necessary to analyze them before deciding on the GI. The paper analyzed meteorological parameters (precipitation, air temperature, insolation, air humidity) affecting the selection of GI types, using the specific example of an urban environment – the City of Osijek, Croatia. Significant parameters when designing GI are operation and maintenance These parameters directly affect the efficiency of GI. The proper selection of GI and its location results in maximum gains: the reduction of land surface drainage - drainage of the sewage system, purification and retention of precipitation at the place of production, the improvement of air quality, and the improvement of living conditions in urban environments

Sektor industri merupakan sektor yang sangat strategis untuk diandalkan dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi. Walaupun demikian dalam sisi lainsektor ini  memberikan kontribusi yang cukup signifikan terhadap permasalahan degradasi lingkungan dan penurunan sumberdaya alam (SDA). Untuk mencegah terjadinya pemanfaan SDA yang boros dan tidak efisien serta mengurangipotensi dampak lingkungan maka industridalam pengoperasiannyaperlu menerapkankonsep produksi bersih (clean production). Kota Probolinggo memiliki banyak industri keramik yang masih belum efisien dalam menggunakan sumber daya dalam proses produksinya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian tentang penerapan konsep Produksi Bersih di industri keramik Kota Probolinggo ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untukmengidentifikasikan jenis keluaran yang non-produk atau Non Product Output(NPO), upaya penanganan NPO dan memberikan rekomendasi prioritas penanganan NPO tersebut dalam upaya peningkatan efisiensi produksi, penurunan tingkat pencemaran serta penurunan biaya produksi.Mengingat industri keramik merupakan industri yang berbasis pada penggunaan energi (energy intensive based industry) maka upaya peningkatan suhu pembakaran untuk mengurangi produk yang tidak sesuai (unspecification products)akan memberikan dampak pada penurunan limbah yang keluar.Selain itu,penggantian lampu biasa dengan lampu hemat energisertapemasangan meteran listrik (alat ukur konsumsi listrik) pada setiap peralatan produksi dapat memberikan informasi bagi manajemen dalam mengambil keputusan terkait dengan penghematan.Berdasarkan data empiris, potensi penghematan yang dapat dilakukan dengan penerapan konsep produksi bersih ini berkisar antara 10% dan 30% dari biaya produksi.Kata Kunci: Produksi Bersih, Non Product Output,Sustainable Resource Management
