Cipayung Village is an area of the Final Disposal Site (FDS) of Depok City. With the FDS, it will automatically have an impact on the surrounding community, coupled with the daily pattern of people who are accustomed to using plastic materials such as shopping containers. This results in more plastic waste in Cipayung Village. This problem requires real action that can make people aware to reduce plastic waste. The plastic diet is a campaign to the community in RT RW Cipayung Village which aims to increase public awareness of the dangers of plastic waste. This activity was carried out by distributing leaflets, reusable shopping bags, and educating the public. The results obtained from this activity are an increase in public knowledge about the dangers of plastic waste and a change in the habit of using plastic bags into shopping bags that can be used repeatedly. This behavior change significantly reduces the use of plastic bags in Cipayung Village. It is hoped that this activity will not only be carried out in one RT but can be carried out in other locations.

Purpose The purpose of this research project was to improve public awareness to improve public awareness of the importance of energy conservation and to improve the use of simple conservation strategies. A thorough evaluation of the net gain from the numerous energy campaigns rolled out to the public every year is lacking. This study conducted pre- and post-campaign surveys and focus groups to evaluate one campaign’s impact on self-reported energy behaviors. Design/methodology/approach The campaign used television public service announcements and a website to improve awareness of the city’s efforts to conserve energy and to increase individual energy conservation practices. Focus groups (n = 40) were used to identify common barriers to conservation, and pre- and post-surveys (n = 533, 479) were conducted to evaluate the campaign’s effectiveness. Findings Results indicated that the campaign increased positive changes in changing light bulbs and confidence in taking action to turn down thermostats, unplug devices and turn off lights. While follow-up research is needed on the precise mechanism of the psychological process at work, the findings are consistent with the concepts of self and response efficacy as needed components of any behavior change. The authors advocate the adoption of research-informed message design to maximize communication campaign effects. Originality/value This paper demonstrates how the combination of three prominent persuasion theories can be used to develop behavior change campaigns. Also, it is one of the few studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the Energy Star campaign.

Abstract A global problem of today is the large amount of waste in the seas and oceans, primarily plastic waste. It is estimated that every year 1.25 to 2.41 million tons of plastic material is being carried by rivers into the seas and oceans. Waste is a major problem for marine organisms, causing entanglement, choking, strangulation, malnutrition and death. In 1972 the problems caused by microplastics, particles smaller than 5 mm, were first observed. Such particles bind pathogenic microorganisms on to their surface. Increasing quantities of microplastics have been found in the stomachs of fish, and also in shellfish that feed by filtering sea water. Ingested by marine organisms, such plastics may eventually pass through the food web and can end up ingested by humans. In addition, plastic releases chemical compounds whose effect on marine organisms and humans has still not been studied. Many international and state organizations offer solutions through recycling plastic waste, as well as reducing the production of plastic materials and informing the public about the problem.

This study aims to determine government policies and their impact on plastic waste management in Jayapura City in 2017-2020. The study was conducted at the Environmental and Cleanliness Office. Using qualitative data analysis methods, the study involved 230 community respondents. The results indicate that the majority of the public consider the Jayapura City government's policy on plastic waste management to have been able to reduce the amount of plastic waste. However, there are still many community members who think that the provincial government has not been able to fully reduce the amount of plastic waste, and believe that the policy is not able to reduce plastic waste in the city. Based on the results obtained, it is hoped that this policy can also be applied in traditional markets so that it can further reduce the use of plastic bags and reduce plastic waste in Jayapura City.

On the one hand the COVID-19 pandemic is seen as a disaster that has had a massive impact on various aspects of life, but on the other hand it is considered as momentum to urge the public organizations to be more innovative and adaptive in adapting to various types of new conditions and adjustments. Many studies have explored public sector innovation, especially in normal circumstances. While studies on the public sector innovation in a critical situation have not caught much attention from academics. This study aimed to fill the gap by analyzing the public sector innovation in South Sumatra as one of the provinces with the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. There was a total of 16 innovations in this study. Content analysis was conducted to determine the types, categories, innovators, and challenges faced. The researchers found that the organizations that innovate (innovators) consisted of city governments, regency governments, provincial governments, central government representatives, and the community. Meanwhile, for the innovation category, the researchers found more innovations with types of public services and health information. The researchers also found three types of innovation categories in South Sumatra including mass/social resilience, quick response/quick wins, and public knowledge. Lastly, the challenges in implementing the innovation which includes public awareness, human resources, financial, facilities and infrastructure, and time. Academically, this study contributes to the understanding of public sector innovation in a critical situation, that innovation in such condition is an innovation that was made for pragmatic purposes and it won’t last. It is only adjusted to the situations that force people to implement physical distancing to each other.

Akhir tahun 2017, masyarakat Indonesia ramai dengan maraknya kematian pada anakanak dan orang dewasa akibat penyakit Difteri. Ditemukan sebanyak 12 orang meninggal dunia dari 318 kasus Difteri menurut catatan Dinas Kesehatan Jawa Timur. Padahal di tahun 2016 kasus Difteri di Jawa Timur tercatat sebanyak 4 orang meninggal dunia dari 209 kasus. Hal tersebut menjadi perhatian bagi pemerintah dan tercatat sebagai kejadian luar biasa (KLB). Kenaikan angka kasus Difteri ini disebabkan karena kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya imunisasi. Semakin banyaknya kasus Difteri yang terjadi dan minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang Difteri, maka dibutuhkan suatu sistem pakar yang mampu membantu masyarakat maupun pemerintah dalam mendiagnosis penyakit Difteri. Penelitian mengenai Difteri ini menggunakan metode algoritma K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) dimana dilakukan perhitungan similaritas pada kasus lama dengan kasus baru. Penelitian penyakit Difteri ini disempurnakan dengan menggunakan penalaran berbasis kasus atau Cased Based Reasoning (CBR) agar hasil diagnosis lebih akurat. Output dari penelitian ini yaitu berupa hasil diagnosa penyakit Difteri berdasarkan gejala-gejala yang dialami dengan hasil akurasi pengujiannya sebesar 95,17%.End of 2017, the people of Indonesia enlivened so many of deaths in children and adults due to Diphtheria. Found 12 people died from 318 cases of Diphtheria according to East Java Health Office records. Whereas in the year 2016 Diphtheria cases in East Java recorded and reported as many as 4 people died from 209 cases. It's of particular concern to government and is noted as an extraordinary event (KLB). The increase in the number of Diphtheria cases is due to a lack of public awareness of the importance of immunization. Increasing number of Diphtheria cases and the lack of public knowledge about Diphtheria, it needs an expert system capable of assisting the public and the government in diagnosing Diphtheria. This research on Diphtheria uses the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm method in which a similarity case study in the old case with new cases is used. The research of Diphtheria disease is enhanced by using casebased reasoning or Cased Based Reasoning (CBR) to make the diagnosis more accurate. The output of this research is the result of diagnosis of Diphtheria disease based on the symptoms experienced by the result of the accuracy of the test is 95,17%.

Impacts Of Climate Change

Measuring the public understanding, knowledge and perceptions towards recent climate change is become a growing research interest in the last two decades. The public understanding and knowledge can be measured through in-depth individual interviews, questionnaires and case studies. In the present study, the public awareness and knowledge towards climate change was measured using questionnaire which was distributed among 160 individuals in four regions of China (Shenzhen, Foshan, Zhuhai and Guangzhou). In general, the individuals showed moderate knowledge and understanding about climate change issue causes, impacts and suggested solutions. The items measuring “impacts of climate change” and “suggested solutions” were the only significant variables (P<0.05) in the different regions. Other measures did not show significant different in their scores (P<0.05). The self-reported knowledge was high among the respondents (97.5%) which indicate dependence of individuals in the four regions for traditional knowledge to obtain the recent updates and information about climate change. It is concluded that the public understanding and knowledge among individuals in China is moderate and further efforts needed to be done to improve the general knowledge and perception about climate change issue in the different media resources such as TV and newspaper.

Plastic has become a thing that we often encounter in everyday life. Various household appliances, cutlery, school equipment, and others still make plastic as the primary material. Plastic waste is the most challenging rubbish to be decomposed by soil naturally. Even in the span of years, the land will not succeed in breaking down plastic waste into organic compounds that can be reused by nature. Contrary to this, the consumption of plastic goods continues to increase every year, not least in the village of Kampung Jawa, Solok City. People who still choose to use plastic materials are the leading cause of the large amount of plastic waste produced by this village office. Through the Community Student Service Andalas University 2018, the "plastic waste diet" method has been carried out in the community. This movement aims to increase public awareness about the dangers of plastic waste to the environment and the importance of good habits to minimize plastic waste production. This method is socialized through counseling conducted to provide education to the community. The advice was chosen as an effective and efficient activity method to create good habits to minimize plastic waste. The counseling activities carried out successfully increased public awareness in reducing plastic waste. The community is interested in independently managing plastic waste produced in the surrounding environment, from collection to processing plastic waste into useful items. Community education and intelligence in managing plastic waste are very much needed; even minimizing plastic waste needs to be instilled early on to achieve a clean, healthy, and comfortable environment.
