<p>Peatlands become one of the potential resources that could be developed as an area of rice farming to improve national food security. Agricultural cultivation in peatlands, if not managed well, will contribute to environmental destruction and land degradation, which will ultimately affect land productivity. As a first step in preparing the development of rice farming, research on the application of technology has conducted. This research included water management, which consists of:  without water management or control (A0), <em>macak-macak</em> water management (A1) and intermittent water management (A2). Moreover, research on pesticide application was also conducted which consist of: without pesticide application or control (P0), Paraquat herbicide application at the time of tillage (P1), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every week (P2), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every two weeks (P3), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every week (P4), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every two week (P5).  This study aims to determine the level of sustainability of rice farming in peatlands, and the dominant factors that influence by considering economic, social and environmental through a Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) approach. The analysis shows a quite sustainable level, with score for each dimension is 53.13 for the economic dimension, 69.49 for the ecological dimension and 61.79 for the social dimension. The dominant factors to be considered for the sustainability of rice farming in peatlands are changes in the level of decomposition of organic matter, farming purpose and outreach intensity.</p>

Cities play an important role in the development of economies, generating wealth and well-being for citizens, providing better, energy efficient and sustainable services and giving residents their rightful place as the cornerstone of city management. Spain has a quite unique example of a smart city, Vitoria-Gasteiz. This is an emblematic city for Europe, which awarded this municipality the title of European Green Capital 2012. This paper seeks to analyse the best sustainable practices through a case study based on content analysis of this city's website. In the social dimension, the results highlight the promotion of resident participation through municipal services, to ensure public debate and transparency. In the environmental dimension, the city has a sustainable mobility plan that aims to reverse the trend towards an increased use of private vehicles by promoting the use of buses, trams and bicycles. Finally, in the economic dimension, the findings underscore the city's economic rigour, transparency in management and economic recovery.

Hydroinformatics tools have increasingly offered a contribution towards the assessment of water management problems and the formulation of enhanced solutions. Nonetheless, the search for improved basis of water management requires not only a combination of technical and managerial responses, but also a firm action against socioeconomic injustices and political inequalities. This chapter problematises the role of hydroinformatics in situations of established inequalities and acute management distortions. A case study of the Baixada Fluminense, in the Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro, illustrates the challenges to reverse unsustainable practices where water problems have been exploited by local and national politicians. Although the hydroinformatics community is certainly aware of the social dimension of water management, the aim is to further emphasise the centrality of issues of power and political disputes. The chapter concludes that the agenda of hydroinformatics needs to expand in order to combine state-of-the-art information technology with a critical understanding of how social and spatial differences affect the use and conservation of water systems.

AbstrakPengelolaan usaha jasa Rumah Potong Hewan-Ruminansia (RPH-R) cenderung belum  dirancang secara berkelanjutan dari harmonisasi dimensi lingkungan, ekonomi, sosial, peraturan dan teknologi, baru terbatas berkelanjutan secara  dimensi ekologi atau ekonomi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merumuskan model  pengelolaan usaha jasa RPH-R secara berkelanjutan yang dibangun dari lima dimensi, yaitu dimensi lingkungan, ekonomi, sosial, peraturan dan teknologi.Perubahan jumlah ternak yang dipotong mengakibatkan pergeseran keseimbangan komponen jumlah keuntungan usaha jasa RPH-R. Proyeksi jumlah ternak yang dipotong di RPH-R pemerintah perlu diketahui untuk merumuskan besarnya subsidi pemerintah di masa yang akan datang. Permodelan dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak POWERSIM 2.5. Simulasi yang dilakukan pada  model pengelolaan usaha jasa RPH-R secara berkelanjutan berdasarkan jumlah penggunaan air mewakili dimensi ekologi, jumlah keuntungan yang mewakili dimensi ekonomi, serta berdasarkan teknologi yang dipartisipasikan mewakili dimensi sosial periode 2014-2023.Hasil pemodelan menunjukkan bahwa untuk perubahan penggunaan air pada dimensi ekologi selama periode 2014-2023 adalah menurun, sedangkan untuk jumlah keuntungan pada dimensi ekonomi dan dimensi sosial meningkat AbstractThe management of the Livestock-Ruminant (RPH-R) Livestock Service business business tends not to be sustainably designed from the harmonization of environmental, economic, social, regulatory and technological dimensions, only finely sustainable in ecological or economic dimensions. The purpose of this research is to formulate RPH-R service business management model continuously built from five dimensions, namely environmental dimension, economy, social, regulation and technology.Changes in the number of cattle being cut resulted in a shift in the equilibrium component of the amount of RPH-R service business profits. The projected number of livestock cut in the RPH-R government needs to be known to formulate the amount of government subsidy in the future. Modeling is done using POWERSIM 2.5 software. The simulations carried out on the RPH-R service business management model on a sustainable basis based on the amount of water use represent the ecological dimension, the number of advantages representing the economic dimension, and based on the technology represented by the social dimension of the period 2014-2023
