Abstract : Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali in 2013, the population density in the Metropolitan area SARBAGITA (Denpasar-Badung-Gianyar-Tabanan) was 1.057 inhabitants/km2 with an area of 1.753,63 km2 and population was 1.853.017 inhabitants. Availability of facilities and adequate transportation infrastructure is needed, but in fact the performance of roads in the city center has declined. It is characterized by an increase in travel delay problem. Traffic delay problems in the City of Denpasar commonly occur on the stretch of Gatot Subroto street. To minimize the existing problems, Denpasar City Government plans to develop an underpass at the intersection of Gatot Subroto street and Ahmad Yani street. The aim of this study was to analyze the direct benefits of underpass for road users, to analyze the costs necessary to realize and operate the underpass, and to analyze the economic feasibility of the underpass development investment. Based on primary data and secondary data were obtained from government agencies, the method of analysis in this study used the technique of Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Economic analysis conducted in this study used three criteria (NPV, BCR and IRR) with three interest rates (12%, 15% and 18% per year) stating that the construction of an underpass was economically feasible. For example in the second scenario where the interest rate 15% gain on the analysis of value NPV, BCR and IRR respectively is Rp. 233.462.340.102,00; 1,948 and 30,81%. Suggestions can be submitted from this research is the need to contemplate the effect of changes in land use in areas close to the area around the underpass and needed further study that takes into account the needs of additional traffic lanes.

ABSTRAKKegiatan daur ulang sampah di Kota Semarang dapat dilakukan dengan cukup baik berkat campur tangan dari sektor informal. Sayangnya, kegiatan pengelolaan sampah formal tidak mempertimbangkan nilai pemulihan sampah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi aliran sampah plastik di sektor informal di Kota Semarang. Peneliti menggunakan wawancara mendalam untuk mengumpulkan data. Ada 46 agen daur ulang, termasuk lima (5) pemulung, 17 pengepul 20 perusahaan skala kecil, tiga (3) perusahaan skala besar, dan 1 perantara (pabrik penggilingan plastik) yang telah diwawancarai. Data dari Badan Lingkungan Hidup Kota Semarang digunakan sebagai data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah sampah plastik yang dihasilkan oleh masing-masing agen daur ulang diperkirakan 23,98 kg/ hari di tingkat pemulung, 54,74 kg/ hari di tingkat pengepul, 347,48 kg / hari di tingkat perusahaan skala kecil, 1.735,3 kg / hari di tingkat perusahaan skala besar, dan 2.160 kg / hari di tingkat perantara. Produsen bijih plastik daur ulang berlokasi di luar Kota Semarang, sedangkan bank sampah berbasis masyarakat adalah bagian dari pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat yang tidak mencari keuntungan. Oleh karena itu, tidak dibahas secara mendalam di penelitian ini.Kata kunci: sampah plastik, aliran sampah, agen daur ulangABSTRACTWaste recycling activities in Semarang City can be conducted quite well due to the interference of the informal sector. Unfortunately,  the formal waste management activities do not consider the utilization of waste recovery value. This study aims to identify the flow of plastic waste in the informal sector in Semarang City. We used in-depth interviews to collect data. There are 46 recycling agents, including five (5) scavengers, 17 scrap dealers, 20 small scale enterprises, three (3) large scale enterprises, and 1 intermediate (plastic grinding mill) that has been interviewed. Data from The Environment Agency of Semarang City obtained as secondary data. The results showed that the amount of plastic waste generated by each recycling agent was estimated at 23.98 kg/day at the scavenger level, 54.74 kg/day at the scrap dealer level, 347.48 kg/day at the small scale enterprise level, 1,735.3 kg / day days at large scale enterprise level, and 2,160 kg/day at the level of plastic waste intermediates.

The majority of the population (66%) in-country “Nepal” are engaged in agriculture. However, domestic production finds it difficult to meet the annual demand of the people. Hence, people are moving from subsistence agriculture to embrace mushroom farming. This study focuses on economic analysis and analysis of the present status of mushroom farming and enterprise in this country. The study was conducted in the land area of Kalika Municipality and Bharatpur Metropolitan City. 30 mushroom farmers with two huts and at least three years of experience were selected from the study area. The primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the farmers, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interviews (KII). The secondary data was collected through various published articles and documents. The data analysis was done using basic statistics and a regression function. The benefit-cost ratio is 2.54 and a high gross margin is NRs.490,876.65 per kattha per year. The return to scale (RTS) is 0.80. Five marketing channels are present among which wholesalers and local collectors contributed the highest percentage of the share. However, the dominance of the intermediaries, timely unavailability of inputs, price fluctuation, disease and pest infestation were the major constraints. Disease and pest control, formation of the producer organization, improvised cultivation practices, timely and affordable availability of quality can be the major solution measures. Whereas, suitable climatic conditions, high productivity and growing market demand are the strengths of mushroom production in this study area. Mushroom farming is found to be a profitable business concerning competitive and comparative markets.

This study describes collaborative governance in the management of plastic waste bank in Pasuruan Regency. The problem of plastic waste experienced by Pasuruan Regency regarding the ineffectiveness of plastic waste management has led to Government efforts to overcome it, one of which is through a plastic waste bank. The emergence of plastic waste banks in Pasuruan Regency began with the participation of the community. This study uses a qualitative approach, a type of descriptive research and uses two types of data, namely primary data and secondary data. Data obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Determination of research informants was done purposively. The validity of the data uses triangulation and analysis techniques using interactive models. The results of the study show that collaborative governance in the management of plastic waste banks has been carried out through four stages, namely assessment, initiation, deliberation, and implementation. The process of collaborative governance begins with the process of assessment or identification, carrying out plastic waste management involving several stakeholders. Next is the initiation process, conducting deliberations which were attended by stakeholders. Then the stages of deliberation through deliberation and dialogue to reach agreement between stakeholders in collaborating and the last stages of implementation carried out by all stakeholders in accordance with the assigned division of tasks. Collaboration in the management of plastic waste banks is still semiformal, which is only based on the commitment of the stakeholders involved. Keywords: collaborative governance, management of plastic waste banks

The main objective of this study was to simulate the economic feasibility of low-temperature grain drying systems considering Brazilian conditions and using three drying capacities, seven grain types and two furnace fuels. For this, 42 scenarios were simulated and compared among themselves by using an economic analysis based on the cash flow model with project lifetime of 20 years. The indices net present value, payback period, benefit-cost ratio and internal rate of return were applied during the analyses. Simulations showed that drying of coffee and beans in large systems presented higher economic feasibility, regardless of the furnace fuel used. All simulated scenarios were cost-effective provided that at least two drying cycles are performed per year. Labor costs, social taxes, grain type and drying capacity most affected the profitability of this kind of investment, while the furnace fuel less influenced the evaluated economic indices.

The recovery of urban waste is a social demand and a measure of the energy-environmental sustainability of cities and regions. In particular, waste of electrical origin, waste of electrical and electronic materials (WEEE) can be recovered with great success. The plastic fraction of these wastes allows their gasification mixed with biomass, and the results allow for producing syngas with a higher energy potential. This work allows for obtaining energy from the recovery of obsolete materials through thermochemical conversion processes of the plastic waste from the disassembly of the luminaires by mixing the said plastic waste in different proportions with the biomass of crop residues (olive). The gasification tests of these mixtures were carried out in a downstream fixed-bed drown daft reactor, at temperatures of approximately 800 °C. The results demonstrate the applied technical and economic feasibility of the technology by thermal gasification, for the production of LHV (Low Heating Value) syngas with highest power energy (more than 5 MJ/m3) produced in mixtures of up to 20% of plastic waste. This study was complemented with the economic-financial analysis. This research can be used as a case study for the energy recovery through gasification processes of plastic waste from luminaires (WEEE), mixed with agricultural biomass that is planned to be carried out on a large scale in the Alentejo (Portugal), as a solution applied in circular economy strategies.

Pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga masih menjadi salah satu masalah serius yang terjadi di kota besar. Pertambahan jumlah penduduk setiap tahunnya akan mempengaruhi volume, jenis dan karakteristik sampah yang dihasilkan setiap harinya. Dari hasil penelitian lapangan yang dilakukan di Kecamatan Semarang Tengah pada Tahun 2017 menunjukkan bahwa sampah yang dihasilkan mencapai hampir 0,98 kg  per orang setiap harinya. Adapun sampah yang dihasilkan terdiri dari  77,5 % sampah organik, 13,5 % sampah plastik, 5,5 % sampah kardus dan kertas, 2,2 %  logam / kaleng dan sisanya adalah kaca dan lainnya. Dari komposisi tersebut, sampah plastik merupakan sampah non organik yang memiliki prosentase tertinggi.  Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah pelaku dalam rantai pasok pengelolaan sampah plastik. Dari subjek penelitian juga didapatkan faktor internal dan eksternal yang akan digunakan untuk menganalisis  kekuatan (strengths), kelemahan (weaknesses), peluang (opportunities), dan ancaman (threats) dalam meningkatkan dan menjaga keberlanjutan pengelolaan sampah plastik di Kecamatan Semarang Tengah.  Suatu sistem penyediaan bahan baku, proses produksi hingga proses pemasaran sampai ke tangan konsumen, dibutuhkan dukungan teknologi baik berupa aplikasi sederhana yang memberikan informasi tentang ketersediaan jenis dan jumlah bahan baku yang terupdate, sehingga dapat mempersingkat waktu produksi. Selain itu juga perlu dukungan sistem informasi untuk membantu pemasaran produk daur ulang, sehingga jangkauan pengguna / konsumen akan lebih banyak dan lebih luas. Keberadaan teknologi informasi memegang peranan penting sebagai media untuk mempercepat terpenuhinya supply dan demand serta menjamin keberlangsungan dan keberlanjutan usaha.STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN PLASTIC WASTE PROCESSING  ABSTRACT Household waste management is still one of the serious problems that occur in big cities. The increase of population each year will affect the volume, type and characteristics of waste produced every day. From the results of field research conducted in the District of Central Semarang in 2017 showed that the waste generated reached almost 0.98 kg per person every day. The waste generated consists of 77.5% organic waste, 13.5% plastic waste, 5.5% cardboard and paper waste, 2.2% metal / can and the rest is glass and others. From the results showed that plastic waste is non-organic waste which has the highest percentage. The subjects in this study were actors in the supply chain of plastic waste management.  The research subjects also obtained internal and external factors that will be used to analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in improving and maintaining the sustainability of plastic waste management in Central Semarang District. A system of supplying raw materials, the production process to the marketing process up to the hands of consumers, technology support is needed in the form of a simple application that provides information about the availability of types and quantities of updated raw materials, so as to shorten the production time. It also needs the support of information systems to help marketing recycled products, so that the coverage area of users / consumers will be more and wider. The existence of information technology plays an important role as a medium to accelerate the fulfillment of supply and demand and to ensure the sustainability of the business.
